As soon as they stepped inside the dragon building, Valir and Telu spotted their subordinates. They made eye contact and communicated through spiritual transmission.
"Everything they reported is true. Even the details about the garden outside this building were also true." Valir sent a transmission to Telu.
"Indeed, but it doesn't matter. Sword God Jian Wang doesn't seem to be interested in creating a major power of his own. Let's just enjoy the wines sold here." Telu replied calmly.
Valir nodded his head in agreement.
The two followed a young waitress and sat on an empty spot. Their table was located near the entrance of the dragon building, so they could get a clearer look at everyone inside. Most of the customers here were vagrant cultivators. They had exceptional cultivation levels, but their backgrounds were ordinary. Only a few of them came from renowned major powers and great families. Nonetheless, Valir and Telu chose to remain low profile.
After getting their order, the two men observed everyone silently.
Jian Wang was not yet around, but according to their subordinates' report, he would usually come to the store during this timeframe, so they patiently waited.
More and more people entered the dragon building and the store was instantly packed with patrons. Most of them were old customers and only a few were new ones.
The wine store was already famous in the desert region and only a few hermits haven't heard about its grand reputation.
Not long later, a cold-looking middle-aged man with a sword strap behind his back entered the store. Behind him was a red-haired man who had a light smile on his face.
Looking at the two of them, Valir and Telu glanced at each other.
Jian Wang has arrived!
Jian Wang and Furion were escorted to an empty spot and they both ordered their favorite wines.
Hm?
Jian Wang turned his head and stared at Valir and Telu.
The two nodded their heads to greet Jian Wang, but the man ignored them completely and chatted with Furion.
"He's too much!" The hot-headed old man, Valir, gritted his teeth in anger, but Telu grabbed him by the arm and told him to calm down.
"Old man, in his eyes, we are nothing. As the person recognized to be the strongest in the Primordial God Realm, he has all the right to ignore us. Just hold it in. We are not here to fight him." Telu whispered in a calm voice.
"I was rash, Sect Master! My apologies!" Valir sighed and shook his head.
"Gentlemen, here are the wines you ordered! Enjoy!" A pleasant voice echoed beside them.
Valir and Telu took the wines placed before them and took a quick look at them.
Valir ordered the most expensive wine, whereas Telu chose the Frozen Origin.
When the two men drank their wines, their eyes widened in shock.
"Not bad!" Valir exclaimed while looking at the empty silver cup in his hand. It was only his first sip, but he already felt that just that cup alone was already worth the astronomical price! The heavenly aroma that assailed his nostrils and the delicate taste of the wine lingered inside his head. He finally understood why his men never asked him to resummon them to the golden tower.
Valir poured more wine into his cup and this time, he inhaled the sweet fragrance of the wine before he emptied his cup.
"Ah~ It is truly delicious!" Valir revealed a look of awe. In his mind, he was already praising Jian Wang for being a great 'wine maker'.
Meanwhile, Telu who was seated opposite him was also enjoying his wine. He ordered the Frozen Origin. It wasn't the best wine in the store, but it was also a unique creation that was many times more delicious than the wines he had tasted before! Even the wines he got from his father were not as good as this! "Valir, thank you for bringing me here! Once we return, I will reward you handsomely! Haha!"
Telu stared the at wine in his cup. It was shimmering like a divine liquid! He could feel the coldness of the wine from the palm of his hands. "Truly a wondrous wine!" He praised wholeheartedly.
The customers who were seated near them chuckled when they heard the two. They could tell that these two men were new customers of the wine store.
Valir and Telu who were immersed in drinking their wines failed to notice the snickering customers. They had even forgotten that they were also here to observe Jian Wang's actions.
***
9 years after everyone from the Heavenly Sword Tower entered the Spirit World.
Yang Zenke, the Division Head of the Blood Sword Division was currently sitting at the top position in points gained. He had killed a huge number of savage beasts in the past nine years and he gained a lot from it. His Sword Comprehension has advanced by leaps and bounds and even his cultivation progress skyrocketed!
At this moment, Yang Zenke stared at the Visual Projection above the skies. He could see his name at the top of the rankings as well as the points he gained after nine years of hunting.
Yang Zenke - 2,769,476
Lu Sulan - 2,757,989
Ice - 2,665,783
Can Ye - 2,448,126
Looking at the rankings, Yang Zenke frowned as he muttered. "I've been killing so many high-level savage beasts, but Sister Sulan is still steadily progressing behind me. Her crowd control skills are just too overpowered! If not for my speed and superior sword techniques, she would have already left me behind! Even Young Miss Ice is not too far from reaching me!"
Yang Zenke's eyes blazed with a competitive glow.
After taking a short rest, he resumed his hunt!
Meanwhile, in another part of the Spirit World, a little girl with short white hair and chubby cheeks was strolling inside a huge forest. In her right hand was a huge chunk of cooked meat.
She lifted her head upwards and snorted when she saw her name in the third place. "Hmph! That brat Yang Zenke is a madman! Doesn't he know how to rest?"
