Chapter 225 - Giving The Demon Crystal To Hu Xiandao

Inside Jiu Shen’s wine store, it was business as usual.

Tens of customers came inside the wine store with meek looks. No one dared to cause a commotion and everyone found themselves a seat in a practiced manner. Who would have believed that even the most callous mercenaries would actually display such carefulness?

Well, everything is not ordinary inside ’The Immortal’s Wine’ especially with a pair of terrifying blonde eyes looking at everyone coldly.

"Young Miss Theia, is the master here?" An aged voice suddenly interrupted Theia who was observing everyone inside the store. She stared at the two newcomers and nodded her head at them.

"Master already told me that the both of you will come today. He said that you should meet him on the second floor." Theia answered in a mild tone.

Hearing her respectful manner of speaking, the two older men felt a bit surprised, but when they thought that they could already be considered as Jiu Shen’s disciples, they felt that her sudden change in attitude was understandable.

"Thank you so much, Young Miss Theia. We will go upstairs then." Master Fengzi said with a smile. He then dragged Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian to the second floor with an excited look on his aged face.

Upon reaching the second floor, they discovered the expressionless Ren Shuang standing outside of the second floor’s entrance. They greeted him respectfully before they entered.

The two old men saw their master discussing something with a barbarian.

"Hu Xiandao, I have something here for you." Jiu Shen said as he looked at the bewildered barbarian with a calm look.

Hu Xiandao tactfully remained silent and waited. He was curious about the thing that Jiu Shen had for him. ’I wonder what Lord Jiu Shen has for me this time...’

Master Fengzi and Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian stood behind Jiu Shen. They did not dare interrupt the discussion between Jiu Shen and Hu Xiandao. They knew that this must be important...

Jiu Shen took out the Demon Crystal that he had gotten from the Silver Dragon Auction House. It was a piece of mineral that looked like the most beautiful piece of garnet.

Hu Xiandao stared at it with a captivated look. He could sense a huge amount of energy from this piece of crystal and he could feel that this was a very valuable treasure that could help him increase his strength.

From the energy that it exuded, he felt that he might be able to reach the 9th-rank Saint if he could consume all the energy it contained!

"Lord Jiu Shen... That crystal..." He gulped inaudibly as he stared at the red crystal.

"That is..." Master Fengzi and Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian immediately identified the red crystal after seeing it. They knew that it was a Demon Crystal that Jiu Shen got from the Silver Dragon Auction House. It was a precious item for body enhancers!

"This is a Demon Crystal from a 9th-rank Saint demon. If you manage to refine even seventy percent of the energy it contains, you will be able to break through to the 9th-rank Saint. The process of extracting the energy inside this Demon Crystal might be painful, but I am confident that you can handle it. Take it." Jiu Shen calmly tossed the Demon Crystal as if it was just an ordinary stone.

The eyes of the three men instantly widened upon seeing this. Hu Xiandao was flustered and he barely caught the Demon Crystal with both his hands. He sighed in relief and held it carefully in his hands.

"Lord Jiu Shen, this thing is too precious. Although I need it very much, I can’t accept it." Hu Xiandao shook his head and smiled wryly. He then extended his right hand towards Jiu Shen.

Jiu Shen did not even glance at his extended hand. He just calmly stared at the barbarian’s face. "Listen, I am not giving that to you for free." He uttered.

"Hm? What do you want me to do, Lord Jiu Shen? I will do anything for you even without this..." Hu Xiandao said honestly. Jiu Shen had already given him a huge favor by healing his severed arm, so he could not really make himself accept another precious gift from him.

Master Fengzi and Supreme Elder Qi Hongtian admired the barbarian’s integrity. It was a very rare trait in the cruel world that they live in.

Jiu Shen pressed his back on his chair with a lazy look and replied. "I want you to help me train a few kids for me. Of course, you are not alone in this endeavor. My second disciple, Can Ye, will help you train those kids. Can Ye already has the training schedule and everything else is also prepared. You just have to help him monitor the kids’ progress."

Hu Xiandao was already prepared to receive a difficult mission, but when he heard that it was only to teach a bunch of kids, he was dumbfounded. "Huh? I mean, that’s it?" He asked while looking at Jiu Shen.

The job was too easy in exchange for a Demon Crystal, so he was still a bit reluctant to accept it.

Jiu Shen shrugged and uttered a sound of agreement. "Mn."

Hu Xiandao glanced speechlessly at him and he was at loss for words. Should he accept it or not?

"Brother Hu, just accept it. Master wants to give it to you, and Brother Hu just has to work hard in training those kids." Master Fengzi said.

"Fengzi is right, Brother Hu. Just accept master’s grace." Qi Hongtian added.

Hu Xiandao wavered when he heard the two old men. In the end, he sighed and retracted his extended arm. He then stood up and bowed at Jiu Shen respectfully. "Lord Jiu Shen, I can’t express my gratitude with words from your grace, but I can promise that I will train those kids and meet your expectations for them."

The corner of Jiu Shen’s lips slightly rose for a brief moment.

"Good! In that case, scram..." Jiu Shen shooed him away as if he was shooing a stray dog, but Hu Xiandao merely laughed as he left the second floor. His smile was so wide that his lips were almost torn...
