The Wine Shop of Eternity
Chapter 464: The Deal
The Corpse Lord did not know if Jiu Shen threatened him when he said that he came with the entourage. If this human were to come in groups, it was possible that this power would attack him if something happened to Jiu Shen. That meant, he had to cancel his plans to deal with her. He could only choose to approach this situation in a friendly manner to prevent the group behind Jiu Shen from declaring war. As an expert who had lived for millions of years, he had developed a cautious personality.
‘I have to collect information about this group of men first. It would be dangerous if there were other powerful experts behind it.’ The corpse of the Lord muttered in his heart.
Jiu Shen remained calm as he waited for the Corpse Lord's reply.
“To be honest, that area is under my jurisdiction. However, I like to be friends, so I will compromise and sell that piece of land to you at a discount. What do you think?” The Corpse Lord handed the map back to Jiu Shen and looked at him with a light smile.
‘Once I know the overall strength of this group of people, I will decide what to do then ..’ The old man muttered in his heart. This Jiu Shen was so indifferent that it made him feel that he was facing someone older than him. In fact, it felt like he was a child in front of an older person.
Jiu Shen took the map and stored it inside his outer space earrings. Lord this corpse is quite ingenious. Jiu Shen had discovered the hidden Array Formation in this study and if this old man decided to activate the inscription, Jiu Shen had many ways to disable it. The Corpse Lord's answer was somewhat surprising to him because most of the rulers of a territory would be enraged when a portion of their territory was taken by someone.
‘This boy knows how to use his brain. Not bad ...’ Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart.
“It would be nice. Unfortunately, my group escaped in a hurry and we couldn't bring in many resources, but I have something that might interest you.” Jiu Shen said with a mysterious tone. He did not have many God Stones with him, so he could only take out his wine. Grapes that could enhance the physique were not uncommon in the Primordial God Realm, but Jiu Shen wines were unique. The effect of drinking his wine was similar to consuming a high level of resources. He knew that the Corpse Lord would fall in love with them!
The Corpse Lord revealed an interested expression. Of course, he did not buy Jiu Shen's story of war or anything like that. He had been here for millions of years, but he had not heard of any war in the nearby location. However, he did not uncover Jiu Shen's lies.
“Oh? I wonder what Mr Jiu Shen is talking about?” The Corpse Lord wondered what this human had brought in for him to be this confident. If it was something valuable, he did not mind accepting it as payment.
Jiu Shen smiled and took out a bottle of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit. This wine can increase one's Weapon Intent and can also strengthen one's physique.
Jiu Shen pushed the bottle towards the Corpse Lord.
The old man furrowed his brows as he looked at the bottle on the table. It wasn't something he expected, but seeing Jiu Shen's indifferent gaze, he decided to check the contents of the bottle. He took the cork and saw a deep red liquid inside. The fragrant aroma of wine invaded his nostrils like a river. Smells good! He thinks.
Jiu Shen grinned as he looked at the old man's expression. “Try it and you will know..” Reply confidently.
The Corpse Lord frowned slightly, but he still grabbed the bottle. He then took a sip and …
“It ...” His old eyes widen like a plate. He could feel a slight improvement in his physique after that small mouthful of wine. Furthermore, there was also something that made him feel stunned. He could sense that his Weapon Intent was somehow in by the wine!
The Corpse Lord drank a few more mouthfuls of wine until he was satisfied. The results surprised him even more! This wine can increase his body strength and also increase his Weapon Intent! Only a few resources are capable of this! He knew that this was a treasure!
The Corpse Lord sighed as he put the bottle back on the table. He knew that he was defeated in the negotiations when he saw the strange smile on that human face. “You surprised me, Mr. Jiu Shen. All right, give me five hundred bottles of this wine and the land is yours.”
Jiu Shen shook his head calmly. “You've already tried the wine yourself, Corpse Lord, so you should know its value. I can give you at most a hundred bottles for that remote land.”
The Corpse Lord felt a little speechless at the counter bid. It was five times lower than what he offered, but he knew that Jiu Shen was already generous. The land he wanted to obtain also had no value whatsoever, so to obtain a hundred bottles of wine so precious was already a good offer for the old man. The old man showed an expression of defeat as he sighed. “Seal!”
He then took out an old parchment paper from his outer space ring and gave it to Jiu Shen. This was a title of land and he now gave it to Jiu Shen. “This is the land ownership document. Take.” He said a little reluctantly.
Jiu Shen picked up the parchment before he took out a box from his outer space earrings. Inside this box was a hundred bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit!
“It's a hundred bottles of Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit.” Jiu Shen pushed the box onto the old man.
The Corpse Lord took the box with a hint of hope. ‘I want to know where she got this ..’
