Chapter 456 - 320: Azure Sky Domain (Part 2)
In addition to his experiences fighting with multiple True Immortal Realm experts, he gained a deeper understanding of the methods and strengths of high-realm experts.
Only the unknown would make him fearful.
Since his strength has increased so much and he has learned so much, he no longer needs to be as restrained as before.
At least, he no longer needs to fear the Profound Immortal.
After bidding farewell to Wu Wei, Su Xin again went to the tavern Wu Wei had taken him to earlier.
The shop assistant had a slight impression of Su Xin, but did not know about his recent awe-inducing performance in the city, so he welcomed him in with neither humility nor arrogance.
Now wealthy, Su Xin said boldly:
"Bring out all your stock of Purple Crystal Immortal Brew, I want all of it."
The shop assistant smiled and replied, "Sorry, sir, the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew is limited in quantity. We have always sold it in limited amounts, otherwise many other guests wouldn’t be able to buy it. Please forgive us, sir."
"Hmm? This stuff is limited?"
Su Xin furrowed his brows, his gaze turning cold, emitting part of his aura.
Instantly, all of the dozen or so customers and the shopkeeper present felt as if they were plunged into an icy cave, oppressed by an inexplicable force, unable even to move a finger, and finding it difficult to breathe.
"I’m out here spending money respectfully, which is already a courtesy to you. Don’t talk to me about these nonsensical rules. If you dare waste my time again, your shop won’t be open anymore!"
Su Xin snorted lightly and continued to stride inside, turning his gaze toward the shopkeeper.
During the earlier chaos in the city, the shopkeeper had been stealthily observing through the window. By chance, he witnessed the scene where Su Xin’s single sentence shocked the entire city, so he naturally knew how terrifying Su Xin’s strength was.
Now, seeing Su Xin threatening, the shopkeeper broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to consult the master behind him, and hurriedly said:
"Esteemed Immortal, please calm down, I will fetch the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew, I will fetch it right away!"
The shopkeeper turned around, ready to flee to the backyard in panic, but Su Xin called out to him:
"Also, who brewed the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew? Bring him out as well, I have something to discuss with him."
The shopkeeper hesitated but dared not refuse, forcing a smile and nodding in agreement:
"Ah? Oh, okay, I’ll go right away!"
After speaking, he quickly left and soon arrived outside a room in the backyard, urgently knocking on the door with no time for courtesy.
Soon, a displeased voice came from inside the house:
"What is it?"
"Master, the Immortal named Su Xin has entered the shop. He said he wants to purchase all of the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew in the store and wishes to meet with you, saying he has something to discuss..."
"Hmm? Su Xin?"
The person inside the house, hearing this name, quickly flew over and opened the door, asking gravely: "Is it the same Su Xin who killed many True Immortals and recently made a name for himself?"
"It should be him; he just arrived in Tan City, suppressed the city’s chaos with a single word, and was accompanied by that green-skinned humanoid pet. It must be the Su Xin from the rumors."
The person from inside the house, wearing loose white robes, had a handsome appearance with a somewhat carefree and unrestrained demeanor.
However, at this moment, his expression was extremely serious. Upon hearing the shopkeeper’s words, he dared not be careless and immediately obediently brought all the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew, quickly flying to the tavern’s main hall.
Upon entering the hall, the moment he saw Su Xin’s figure, he felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from Su Xin, like a mountain, causing him to catch his breath and tense up.
No need to think about it; it’s evident that Su Xin’s power far surpasses his own.
Without hesitating, he hurriedly offered the storage ring with a respectful smile.
"Greetings, Su Xin Immortal. I am Ling Suming, the owner of the Purple Crystal Tavern. All the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew you requested is in this storage ring, a total of one hundred and thirty-eight jars, as a token of gratitude to Su Immortal for suppressing the chaos in Tan City, my humble gesture."
Su Xin took it without reservation.
He continued, "Shopkeeper Ling, did you brew this Purple Crystal Immortal Brew?"
Ling Suming smiled and nodded:
"Yes, it was indeed me."
"From now on, you will follow me, exclusively brewing Purple Crystal Immortal Brew for me alone. I can ensure you earn over ten times what you did before and always guarantee your safety, how about that?"
Ling Suming showed hesitation.
He was naturally free-spirited and disliked constraints. Otherwise, he would not have rejected the recruitment attempts of major powers to run a tavern alone.
Not to mention, being his own boss meant practicing when he wished and brewing when he wished, living freely and comfortably. Once he became Su Xin’s subordinate, such freedom would certainly not continue.
He certainly did not want to follow Su Xin.
But he had heard of Su Xin’s amazing achievements recently and cruel methods. If he refused, who could predict the outcome?
After hesitating momentarily, the pursuit of freedom took the upper hand, and he said with a wry smile:
"Sorry, Su Immortal, I am used to being free-spirited and really not accustomed to being under anyone’s command. This is nothing against Su Immortal. Others have tried to recruit me with promises of many Spirit Stones, but I just can’t settle down..."
Su Xin said calmly:
"Rest assured, other than brewing, I will not restrict your freedom, nor interfere with your personal life. The only requirement is that the Purple Crystal Immortal Brew or other good wines you brew, apart from yourself, can only be supplied to me."
"With this as a condition, I can protect your safety, which should be a good deal."
"Su Immortal..."
Ling Suming smiled wryly, about to say more, but then saw Su Xin’s expression suddenly turn cold. He felt as if he had plunged into an icy cave, and the words he prepared to say dared not leave his mouth.
After pausing for a moment, he changed his words:
"Thank you for Su Immortal’s appreciation, I am willing to follow Su Immortal and look to you for guidance in the future."
"Good."
Su Xin’s expression changed from cloudy to clear, stepping forward to pat Ling Suming on the shoulder, planting ten Life Talismans in him at once.
Then he handed him a storage ring, which contained one hundred thousand Spirit Stones and other treasures snatched from others, unknown in value.
"Brewing also requires good materials, these Spirit Stones are for you to buy materials, purchase more, and brew more at once."
Ling Suming was stunned, asking:
"Ah? Su Immortal means?"
"Nothing special, you can live wherever you want normally, I won’t interfere with what you do usually, you just need to brew regularly, and I will come to take it periodically."
"If the Spirit Stones run out, or if you encounter great trouble, use the Life Talisman in your mind to contact me, rest assured, no matter where you are, I can find you at the first opportunity."
Ling Suming nodded with half-belief.
He was of Earth Immortal Cultivation and had lived on this Void Realm Island since birth, never having seen the outside world, let alone methods like Instant Teleportation, so he could not understand what Su Xin meant by finding him at the first opportunity.
But the next moment.
He saw Su Xin vanish before his eyes, an almost miraculous method that left him dumbfounded.
This method thoroughly stunned him.
After all, from his understanding, even True Immortals and Profound Immortals did not have cross-spatial teleportation methods, yet Su Xin actually had such means.
"Could it be, his cultivation is not only at the True Immortal level? Possibly even above the Profound Immortal?"
Thinking of this, Ling Suming couldn’t help but gasp, his heart a mix of shock and delight.
Even with his indifference to fame and fortune, he couldn’t avoid admiration for top-level experts.
And to follow someone potentially at the peak of Profound Immortal or even Golden Immortal, it would be indeed a lifelong honor for him.
Moreover, with the other party’s ability for Instant Teleportation, it might indeed be possible to appear at the first sign of danger to save him.
In this chaotic world of the strong preying upon the weak, that is invaluable beyond measure of Spirit Stones.
