Chapter 257 - Vitality Extending Dan

A huge and imposing sword with the tip of its blade almost piercing through the skies stood tall and unwavering in front of a huge crowd of people. Everyone gazed at this towering sword-shaped building in awe and amazement.

"This sword tower... I still can’t believe that Wine Master Jiu would create his sect building like this..." Emperor Elyk who was riding a savage beast mount smiled wryly as he looked at the tower in front of him.

Behind him were his father and the four guardians of the Silver Wing Empire. They were also looking at the sword tower with astonished gazes.

"Elyk, I’ve invited some distinguished individuals from the Alliance to show up in the sect opening ceremony. Some of them even showed signs that they wanted to enlist their descendants into Wine Master Jiu’s sect. I’m not surprised about this since Wine Master Jiu’s strength is already known by almost everyone on the Profound Dragon Continent especially after how he easily defeated Alliance Head Situ. I also heard that Alliance Head Situ still hasn’t recovered to his peak state and is only putting up a front in front of his subordinates." The emperor’s father chuckled as he spoke.

Emperor Elyk laughed lightly upon hearing his father’s words.

Suddenly, their laughter halted as two figures appeared in front of their group like a gust of wind.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Emperor Elyk frowned and he immediately held the hilt of his sword, but when he saw the faces of the two newcomers, his face relaxed into a brilliant smile.

"Young Miss Xia? Young Miss Liuli? Are you guys here to escort us?" Emperor Elyk asked with a smile.

Xia Xinyue remained silent and she merely glanced at the emperor’s group with a calm expression.

Seeing the nonchalant look of the woman beside her, Liuli smiled apologetically at the emperor and his group. "Your Majesty, I have indeed come with Miss Xia to escort you to the sword tower under Sect Master Jiu’s orders. It would be better if you leave your mounts here. Don’t worry about them, someone will bring them safely to a stable nearby."

Emperor Elyk immediately leaped off of his mount upon hearing Liuli’s words. He then strode towards the two ladies and said smilingly. "It has been a while since I last saw you both. How have you been?"

Xia Xinyue thought for a moment and answered in a calm tone. "Everything is great, Your Majesty."

"I’m more than happy now that I’ve finally reunited with my father after being away with him for so long. I’m also excited about the opening ceremony of Sect Master Jiu’s sect." Liuli replied courteously.

Emperor Elyk smiled at Liuli before shifting his gaze to Xia Xinyue. ’The ladies of the Ice Cloud Sword Sect are still the same as always. Sulan... She’s also like this...’ The emperor thought to himself.

"Let’s not stay here for long. Sect Master Jiu is already waiting for you guys at the sword tower. We should get going." Liuli said in a polite manner. She then pulled Xia Xinyue as they led the emperor’s group.

Emperor Elyk nodded his head and followed the two ladies.

"Master, everything is already in place. Do you want me to double-check everything before we start the ceremony?" Can Ye asked his master with a hint of excitement in his tone.

He was looking forward to this event and he could barely contain his excitement.

The once lone mercenary who looked like a middle-aged man was now gone. His rough facial features had now turned much fairer and smooth, making him look like a dashing nobleman in his early twenties.

Lu Sulan chuckled lightly when she saw the look on her junior apprentice brother’s face.

Jiu Shen glanced at him and replied in a calm tone. "No need for that. You’ve already checked everything yesterday for more than ten times, so I don’t think that there would be any problem at all."

Can Ye scratched the back of his head at his master words while smiling in embarrassment. ’Master was actually observing me at that time...’

"Master, the emperor has arrived." Long Meili whispered to Jiu Shen.

"Alright. Let’s go and meet the guests. Sulan, tell everyone to prepare." Jiu Shen stood up from his seat as he uttered those words.

"Yes, Master!"

"Yes, Master!"

Everyone replied in unison.

Jiu Shen’s group went downstairs to greet the guests at the entrance of the sword tower. Their arrival instantly made the crowd’s eyes shine like jewels.

Jiu Shen stepped forward and glanced at the crowd with his usual indifferent expression as he said. "Everyone, I thank all of you for coming here. Some of you have waited for very long, so I have a little gift to everyone who is here."

"A gift? Anything from Wine Master Jiu shouldn’t be too shabby. I wonder what it is..."

"I’m glad I came here! Now, I can get something from Wine Master Jiu for free! Hahaha!"

Everyone was excited about Jiu Shen’s gift, but they were also wondering what could this gift be.

Looking at the crowd’s excited faces, Jiu Shen chuckled in his heart. He then waved his right hand and hundreds of small bottles hovered above his head.

Everyone stared at the hundreds of small bottles dancing above Jiu Shen, wondering what was inside these bottles.

"Wine Master Jiu, what is inside those bottles?" Someone could not hold back his curiosity anymore and asked.

Jiu Shen placed his hands behind his back and glanced at the small bottles above him as he replied indifferently.

"These are Immortal Pills I made during my free time. They are called Vitality Extending Dan... A pill that could extend one’s lifespan by five years. Mortals could also use them without any side effects."

Inside the small bottles are indeed the Vitality Extending Dan. Although this pill could only extend one’s lifespan by five years, this effect should not be underestimated.

A cultivator might have a longer lifespan than normal humans, but even they could not escape the passing of time. And as their cultivation improves, their fear of death intensifies as their doom grew nearer. And so a pill that could extend one’s life was very rare that even the peak alchemists of the Profound Dragon Continent would find it hard to concoct them.

Everyone’s eyes widened when they heard Jiu Shen’s nonchalant words. Even the emperor’s father who was just there to spectate things could not help but rub his ears after hearing what was inside those bottles.
