Chapter 6: Immortal Drunken Wine buys a sword. || Side Story 1
The main hall of Divine Weapon Pavilion exuded a majestic aura, different kinds and grades of Divine Weapons were displayed, encased in decorative glass.
The area within the main hall was extremely spacious and had a total of three level. On average, there would be at least a few tens of thousands of customers venturing here daily. At this moment, there was a youth decorated in whites who entered the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
As he stepped inside, Many called out to him with smiles and exchanged jokes. He was quite the frequent customer at this point.
Ranked 3rd of the Royal Capitals ten prodigies, The extremely talented Immortal Drunken Wine was known for his famous swordplay. Even though those moments where he unleased his sword were on the rarer and infrequent side, there was no one in here in the royal capital who knew him not.
This youth, other than being talented with swords, had another hobby: collecting precious swords, hence his reason for being a frequent Customer of the Divine Weapon Pavilion.
2nd Level of Divine Weapon Pavilion which contained an area that sold swords, Immortal Drunken wine was where he headed towards.
"Do you want to take a look at our nu stock?" the eye candy receptionist standing in front of the sword wall smiled politely at Immortal Drunken Wine ("Weird Name").
"This is a newly forged Divine sword of the second lvl, inferior grade. Though the one who forged this was adament this is a 3rd level top grade Sword Grade. one Yuan meteor stone from 2nd heavenly layer has been set as its price." the eye candy passed the sheathed sword over to Immortal Drunken Wine.
Immortal Drunken Wine, after inspecting it immediately passed over a Yuan Meteor Stone.
Yuan Meteor Stones, other than just being used for condensing of Astral Souls, were also accepted as a form of currency for precious and valuable goods. Yuan Meteor Stones originated from the various Heavenly Layers, and when they fell down from the heavens, their size and shape were all irregular. Before full-sized Yuan Meteor Stones were cut and refined, they were known as Astral Ores.
Yuan Meteor Stones were used a sort of currency as well, rather than just being used for the purpose of aiding one in condensing an Astral Soul or helping Replenishing Astral Qi.
Astral Ores fell down from the Nine Heavenly Layers, irregular in size and shape, before being cut and refined what is now know as Yuan Meteor Stones.
A 2nd grade Yuan Meteor Stone was definitely not a low price, for a 2nd level, inferior grade divine weapon. But her heart became heavier as an uneasiness began set in. Immortal Drunken wine payed it without hesitation, Was that Grandmaster right? this was truly a third level Divine Weapon?
"Immortal duknen Wine, what bargin did you just make? Let me have a look" At this moment, an elder in charge of the administration of the second story of Divine Weapon Pavilion walked over.
"Old Chen, here look at this" Immortal Drunken Wine passed the sword over to the Administrator level elder Yang Chen.
Yang Chen held the sword and infused Yuan Energy within his body into the sword. Gradually, his bemused visage turned into on bitterness and greed. "Is this that same Grandmaster who claimed this was a third level top Grade Divine Weapon?"
"Yes elder, He is in desperate need of Yuan Meteor Stones currently and has forged 2 more swords as of yesterday." The sword apprentice replied respectfully.
"Immortal Drunken Wine, Consider this our loss." Yang Chen glared at Sword dance before turning to leave, directly heading towards where I was supposed to be at this point.
Yang chen : Immortal Drunken Wine, may i inquire as to why you are following me.
Immortal Drunken wine : I consider those who have forged a weapon I love as valuable. The reason im tagging along is to maek a new friend.
the two were met only with a note attached to the door, reading, that Revan had left for the week on a "buisness trip".
....
"Well this was entertaining." Revan said as he consumed his 100th victim for the day, "Oh, that is hilarious indeed." Revan said as he sensed a Rogue Heavenly Dipper Sovereign meditating in the woods, this will serve well as a trail run.

"You, Why won't you die. I've cut off your head numerous times, severed your bod-*Cough* *coughing pit*" the cultivator abruptly stopped mid way, as one too many tentacles and tendrils made their way out of his body.
First person Point of view (somewhat)
A twisted blood flower forming with him at the very center. His life force was continously being drained from the start of our battle, each time he dislocated my supposed head from my where my shoulders would be located open. each time my form was torn in two. with each instance of this my bio-mass poured, soaking and seeping into his every pore, It was but a matter of time until he died.
"You did not deserve this, but the path to power, it is perilous. Your only misfortune was meeting me today." I said, re-configuring my form to a more pristine look before heading back towards my temporary residence here.
....
As i walked made my way back over to the Divine Weapon Pavillion hall, I was greeted by several guards armed, shall say Nicely. This would be delightful conversation, if you could call it that.
"Elder Yang Chen, to what do I owe the pleasure for this?" I asked as i saw the old fool greeting me, with an honest to outright pathetic hopeful gesture.
"Grandmaster Steele, please come, we should rediscuss our relationship. I apologize for my earlier rude assessment of yours and judging you to be lying about being a 3rd level Divine Inscriptionist." The words that left his mouth, though greed was evident, there was truth in them. This would be much easier than i thought.
.......
Authour's note : As i wrote this, and my high started fading. I realized I should of uploaded this before the last one. So take it with a spoonful of salt and apologies for screwing up my own order.
Also the 4th wish, it will not be made clear until much later. just know, it would in a sense both fit this genre(Xianxia/Wuxia) and at the same time it will not.
