Chapter 334 - Purple Feathered Flame Eagle
"What did you say?!" Demon Ancestor Jun was flabbergasted. A wine that could make someone reach the Weapon Intent level was only for a measly 500 Blood Stones? The old demon could not believe his ears.
Zagan and the others knew that it was also inconceivable and if not for them witnessing it with their own eyes, they would have passed it off as a huge joke. However, this was the truth no matter how hard it was to believe.
Zagan smiled wryly when he saw the look of doubt on the Demon Ancestor’s eyes. "Lord Demon Ancestor, your subordinate speaks the truth and the others can vouch for me about this information."
Azgonoth and the other two hurriedly expressed their thoughts. "Lord Demon Ancestor, this is indeed the case. That store is only selling the Sword Divinity Ardent Spirit for 500 Blood Stones per bottle."
Demon Ancestor Jun was still slightly doubtful of their words, but looking at his subordinates’ earnest expressions, he sunk into deep contemplation. "If I learn that you are wasting this old man’s time, you will be punished accordingly, but if it is as you say, you will receive bountiful rewards. Come! Take me to this store! I want to see for myself this so-called heavenly wine!" The old demon was also curious about the mysterious store and he wanted to find out more about it.
The eyes of Zagan and the others brightened when they heard the Demon Ancestor’s words. They hurriedly stood up, eager to lead the old man to the lotus building.
"Lord Demon Ancestor, you won’t be disappointed." Zagan smiled confidently.
"I hope so." Demon Ancestor Jun answered perfunctorily. He wasn’t hoping much for this heavenly wine. He was more interested in the owner of this mysterious store. The owner might even be the expert that had swept his spiritual perception some time ago! The old demon was looking forward to meeting an expert of such caliber.

Jiu Shen was already on the outskirts of Morlon City. This place had no inhabitants and only a forest full of grim-looking trees can be seen. Jiu Shen could also hear the roars of savage beasts from within this gloomy forest.
"Not even one demon dared to come to this place. It seems like they are wary of the savage beasts living here." Jiu Shen used his spiritual perception to scan the forest ahead of him and upon his inspection, he saw more than five savage beasts at the Nascent God Realm!
"A flock of Purple Feathered Flame Eagles? With their presence, they should be guarding a shard of Purple Fire Crystal. If I ground this thing and add it to my wine recipe, it would enhance the quality of the wine." The Purple Feathered Flame Eagles were not strong individually, but their strength lies in their numbers. And a flock as large as this would certainly produce a shard of Purple Fire Crystal. This crystal is created under the nurturing of thousands upon thousands of Purple Feathered Flame Eagle. It takes around ten years of nurturing before a small shard is created. This crystal can be used to enhance one’s comprehension of fire element and if one has a physique related to fire element, they would experience a huge increase in strength if they refine this crystal. However, Jiu Shen wasn’t planning to refine this crystal for his cultivation. He was planning to use it as an ingredient for his wine recipe!
Without further delay, Jiu Shen went straight towards the direction of the Purple Feathered Flame Eagle, creating a white blur in his wake.
Others might be scared of facing this flock of eagles, but Jiu Shen wasn’t the least bit worried about this. In his eyes, these eagles weren’t even worthy to be on his plate and if not for his immediate need of ingredients for his wine recipe, he wouldn’t even pay heed to these savage beasts of lowly origins.
Jiu Shen was now at the peak stage of the Nascent God Realm and even without using the element of space, he was already hovering in front of the flock of Purple Feathered Flame Eagle. He eyed the group of eagles with an expressionless look, not placing them in his eyes at all.
The Purple Feathered Flame Eagles were surprised about Jiu Shen’s abrupt arrival, but they weren’t afraid of him. There were more than tens of thousands of them hovering in the sky and even a demon at the Demon Lord level would find it hard to cope up with them. Some of the weaker Demon Lords might even succumb to their endless number.
Screech! Screech!
The eagles issued threatening bird cries to Jiu Shen as they glared at his lone figure.
Jiu Shen placed his hands behind his back as he stared at the eagles with a calm look. The strongest among them was only at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint and even if there was a Nascent God Realm among these eagles, Jiu Shen wasn’t worried.
"Offer your Purple Fire Crystal and I will leave your tribesmen alive." Jiu Shen stared at the leading Purple Feathered Flame Eagle as he spoke indifferently.
The leader of the Purple Feathered Flame Eagle was already at the peak stage of the 9th-rank Saint and it was already capable of human speech, so when it heard Jiu Shen’s words, the eagle understood him immediately.
"Human, how dare you place your covetous eyes in my tribe’s Purple Fire Crystal?! Do you think that my fearless tribe would fear the likes of you?!" The leader of the Purple Feathered Flame Eagle erupted into fury when Jiu Shen stated his words. The Purple Fire Crystal was their holy item and it could help them increase the strength of their bloodline and cultivation. How could they give it to a human just because he wants it?
Jiu Shen already expected their rejection, so he did not reveal a look of anger. He understood the importance of the Purple Fire Crystal to the Purple Feathered Flame Eagle and it was nigh impossible for them to offer it to him willingly.
"What if I can make your tribe’s bloodline awaken the royal blood of the Purple Winged Sword Eagles?" Jiu Shen smiled calmly. Jiu Shen’s ability in the art of medicine might be paltry compared to the experts of the Primordial God Realm, but it wasn’t a problem for him to help these eagles of low descent awaken their ancient bloodline.
