The Immortal's Wine Store

Chapter 386 - Garland’s Greed

"Have you guys heard of the tournament set up by Wine Master Jiu Shen? According to my friend, the rewards for the top three winners are so abundant! Some top experts even joined the competition! Even Princess Cornelia signed up for the Heaven Battle category!"

"Of course! Who hasn't heard about it! It has been the most discussed topic by everyone in Morlon City. Even the whole Great Demon Empire has heard of it. From what I know, the competition will begin today. We still have time to go to the lotus building and spectate the battles!"

"Right! However, the lotus building will be taking 100

Blood Stones as entrance fee. It's a bit expensive for me."

The tournament organized by Jiu Shen has become very popular. There was a huge crowd of people surrounding the lotus building. The little fishes who had been idling in the pond even had to go out to help in monitoring the building. If not for the little fishes overseeing the crowd, the scene would have become chaotic.

Normally, only a few dozen individuals can be seen inside Jiu Shen's store every day, but this time, the spacious hall almost couldn't take the crowd. To solve this problem, Jiu Shen immediately teleported everyone to the third floor where the space was much bigger. Even a few ten thousand people can fit inside this place.

At this moment, the third floor has been divided into two. This was to separate the Heaven Battle and the Earth Battle. There were four arenas in each battle category. With this, the tournament can progress much faster.

Looking at the noisy crowd chattering incessantly, Jiu Shen glanced at Blue, Meimei, and Xiaoxiao who were gathered standing him. "Blue, announce the start of the tournament. Meimei, Xiaoxiao, the two of you will monitor the crowd. Make sure that nothing unexpected happens."

"Yes, Master!"

The three girls nodded their heads and swiftly left to do their tasks.

After taking one last look at everything, Jiu Shen's figure vanished.

He then reappeared above the lotus building. With Yue Bo personally overseeing the tournament, he wasn't worried that anything will go wrong.

"Now that the tournament has begun, it's time to do something about that demon. He has been sneaking around my lair for quite some time now. I should give him a good scare." Jiu Shen muttered calmly. During the past few weeks, he noticed that the Void God Realm expert of the Narda Principality has been trying to sneak inside his garden.

Garland was getting anxious. He truly wanted to steal that spiritual plant from Jiu Shen's garden, but it was closely guarded by that sweeper called Yue Bo so he didn't even have the chance to go near it.

"Sh*t! I need that spiritual plant! The moment I saw it, I knew that it could help me improve my cultivation!" Garland clenched his fists tightly as he thought of possible ways to steal what he desired.

The thing that he wanted to steal was a spiritual plant in Jiu Shen's garden. Although he had no idea what it was, when he visited Jiu Shen's store for a drink, it was the first thing that caught his attention.

It was a round-shaped spiritual plant that was dark-red in color. Even from a distance, he already sensed the enormous vitality within the spiritual plant. His first thought after laying his sights on it was to consume it! His instincts told him that if he ate that thing, he could advance in his cultivation by leaps and bounds!

However, there was a huge obstacle preventing him from stealing the spiritual plant. It was the sweeper called Yue Bo! That guy made Jiu Shen's garden his home, tirelessly weeding and cleaning it from time to time. He was so hateful that Garland always cursed him in his heart.

"No! This won't do! I have to get my hands on it! With Yue Bo and Jiu Shen's presence here in Morlon City, it would be impossible for me to complete my initial plans. Now that an opportunity for me has arrived, how could I not do something?" Garland stood up and opened the window of his room. He stared in the direction of the lotus building when a brilliant thought suddenly came into his mind.

"Today is the start of Jiu Shen's tournament. I heard that Yue Bo will personally oversee the competition, so he shouldn't be in the garden. Only a few Nascent God Realm ants should be there now! As for Jiu Shen, he might be observing the progress of the tournament... This is my best chance!" Garland's eyes shone with excitement.

After preparing his equipment, he sneakily dashed out of their temporary residence. With his power, it wasn't difficult to stay hidden from the eyes of individuals who are much weaker than him.

It didn't even take him long to arrive near the lotus building. From his spot, he could already see the huge crowd around the store. Even outside the iron fences, people can still be seen loitering around.

"I should use the crowd and hide among them as I steal that spiritual plant. I don't sense any strong expert nearby, so it should be safe now." Garland's eyes turned red. A look of frenzy can be seen burning within those globes. He has been clouded by his greed!

He removed his luxurious garments and changed into an ordinary-looking one. With this, he should be able to sneak among the crowd, undetected.

"Alright. Time to go!" Garland said as he carefully moved along with the crowd. He even talked with a few of them to make it look like he was interested in the tournament.

Garland felt like burning this entire place down, but he composed himself. Doing so would only blow away his cover and he might fail to get the spiritual plant. With a determined look, he moved through the crowd and finally reached the garden.

It was still densely populated, and he even saw some Nascent God Realm women eyeing the crowd with hostile gazes.

'They should be responsible for guarding this garden while Yue Bo is not here, but they can't stop me..' Garland muttered coldly in his heart.
