Chapter 468: The Jaw-Dropping Branch Store
Serek furrowed his eyebrows when he saw that Jiu Shen was unaffected by his fearsome aura. He couldn't help but take this human seriously.
"Oh? Not bad! You're quite strong for a human..." He praised Jiu Shen. The other Balkans behind him also changed their perception of Jiu Shen.
Jiu Shen remained silent when he heard his praise. He only looked at Serek with the same nonchalant gaze.
Serek felt uncomfortable when he saw Jiu Shen's expressionless face. As a subordinate of the City Lord, he never experienced being looked down upon by others. Jiu Shen's indifferent gaze seemed as if he was looking at a group of juniors.
Serek didn't want to embarrass himself in front of his subordinates, so he stepped forward with great momentum and released his aura to the fullest extent! Everyone around him turned stiff when they sensed the overwhelming aura that covered the entire building.
Jiu Shen frowned when he saw this. He didn't want to waste too much time with this brainless muscle man, so he briefly summoned his Heavenly God Realm aura. When his spiritual power reached the True God Realm, he could now summon his Heavenly God Realm aura for a much longer time. However, Jiu Shen didn't want to always depend on this since it could only scare weaker experts. Furthermore, it consumes too much of his spiritual power.
Thud!
Everyone inside the building dropped to the ground after they sensed Jiu Shen's aura. They looked at the silver-haired human with horrified gazes.
"Sir...you are..." Serek was also affected by the aura and he was still having a hard time collecting himself. 'That strength! It seems to be greater than the City Lord's power! Who is he?!' He cried out in his heart.
"I don't want to waste my time with you people. I want the ownership of this restaurant transferred to me!" Jiu Shen muttered coldly as he glanced at everyone one by one. His gaze lingered on Serek, making the guy almost collapse from nervousness.
"I- I... S-Sure! No problem at all! Hey, pig! What are you waiting for?! Give the land title to this gentleman! Quick!" Serek immediately shouted to the boar-headed owner.
"Ah- Yes! Yes! Yes!" The boar-headed owner quickly rose to his feet and grabbed a piece of parchment from his space ring. He then handed it to Jiu Shen with shaking hands. Although he felt a bit reluctant to give it to Jiu Shen, he couldn't do anything since even Serek was powerless against him.
Jiu Shen kept the parchment in his space earring and saw the sad expression of the boar-headed owner. He then stared at Serek and said. "You will be responsible for compensating the losses of this guy. If not, I will tell Corpse Lord about it..."
"Ah... You know the City Lord?" Serek was surprised, but when he saw the cold expression of Jiu Shen, he immediately nodded his head. "Yes! Yes! I will compensate him! Don't worry!"
"Good! Now, all of you can scram out of my sights!" Everyone scrambled to the exit with haste when they heard Jiu Shen's words. No one dared to stay here anymore after what had happened earlier. They could never forget that overbearing aura he released!
After everyone left, Jiu Shen communicated with the system. "I want to set this place as the next branch store."
Ding!
Checking location!
Location approved!
You received x3 Fruits of Cultivation!
Do you want to build the branch store now?
Jiu Shen took the three Fruits that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He then stuffed them inside his space earring.
"Build the branch store now." Jiu Shen enveloped the area around the building using his spiritual power to prevent anyone from seeing anything. With his True God Realm spiritual power, no one in Hard Rock City would be able to see what was going on inside.
Initializing!
A few moments later, Jiu Shen saw the old building collapse under a mysterious power. After the building collapsed, everything turned to dust and then disappeared!
The scene was magical and even Jiu Shen who was a Heavenly God Realm in the past was fascinated with what was happening in front of him.
Celestial God-rank materials appeared out of thin air and slowly formed the structure of a new building. A few breaths later, furniture and ornate ornaments appeared inside the building one by one. A few Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants also took shape inside jade pots that covered almost every corner of the building. Soon, a pond that was almost the size of a lake and a garden emerged outside the building. The structure was almost the same as the branch store in Morlon City, but the ones here were much larger and more precious!
A huge shadow of a creature can be seen in the depths of the pond. It was currently unknown what type of creature it was since it was hidden in the deepest part of the pond.
Meanwhile, the garden was filled with Supreme God-rank spiritual plants and a few Heavenly God-rank spiritual plants.
Jiu Shen stepped out of the newly erected store and saw the changes that happened outside. He was stunned when he saw the vast array of high-level spiritual plants.
"I don't know if this is good or not..." Jiu Shen muttered to himself. He realized that things would become troublesome from now on. Just the spiritual plants within the garden alone were already enough to attract a huge crowd of experts in this place. When he saw the huge pond, his eyes widened like saucers.
"Crystal Lake... This is water from Crystal Lake! Goddammit!" Jiu Shen cursed when he discovered the pond water. It was a type of water that was only found in Crystal Lake. A place that was tightly guarded by dragons!
Suddenly, Jiu Shen felt a violent tremor as a gigantic silhouette came out of the pond. When the huge figure emerged, he was speechless. "No way..."
