25 Merlin Avenue.
Inside the mansion.
In the basement.
Chung Shen-soo used a batch of alcohol stored here to make a glass of the original Desire of Pawnshop and slowly tasted it.
"Hmm … there's no other effect. My Spiritual Perception didn't find anything strange either. It's just a normal cocktail, but the bartender's skills are very high.
"Seems like Julie wants to test me?"
His face was calm, and there were no fluctuations in his emotions.
It was a good thing to be tested, as it meant that he could obtain some sort of qualification.
Chung Shen-soo did not forget his purpose in coming to this world.
In the main world, he had already been confirmed to have no hope of attaining the Primal Core. This was not only because his body was too strong, but also because he had been contaminated by the Evil God.
Therefore, even if he were to abandon his cultivation and re-cultivate, his foundation would still be impure, and he would not be able to condense the Primal Core.
His main purpose in coming to this world was to find a way.
"On one hand, I can secretly investigate the extraordinary path of this world. If I can achieve immortality, and there are not many side effects, I can directly switch to the path here.
"If there is no path of immortality, or if the side effects are too great, then I can try to hunt other Primal Core lifeforms, or find similar treasures that can assist in condensing the External Core in preparation for the path of External Alchemy …
"If neither of these two paths work, then I'll quickly complete my obsession through bootlegging, harvest a batch of Tenxiu Point, and return to the main world …"
After thinking about what to do, Chung Shen-soo returned to the mansion and saw the Jones siblings chasing after him.
"What's going on?"
He furrowed his brows and shouted angrily.
Jones was the first to stop. It seemed that Li Wei had changed too much recently, and he had become much more obedient in front of this big brother.
This was actually a hidden emotion of fear, but Chung Shen-soo could not be bothered to correct it.
This was good, at least he was obedient.
After all, he was not their real brother. He just needed to ensure that they did not have to worry about food and clothing, and that their future was bright.
"I'll report … Jones has been in a relationship recently, and I just saw him secretly applying hair gel in his room …"
Camilla hid behind Chung Shen-soo and said loudly.
"Dating? Who?"
Chung Shen-soo's eyes turned as he remembered. "That Melissa?"
"No!"
Jones was so red that even his ears were about to turn red. "She … She only agreed to go to the famous Vivena Restaurant with me!"
"Haha … Brother! You're too young! "
Chung Shen-soo patted Jones on the shoulder sympathetically. "In the bar, anyone who gives her a dollar can ask her out …"
After saying that, he didn't care about how desperate the young man was and walked out.
…
Whisper Bar.
"Boss!"
Seeing Chung Shen-soo coming over, Scarface immediately moved forward. "There's news from James …"
"Follow me to my office."
Chung Shen-soo looked around.
James was very important. In his small group, only Scarface was responsible for the one-way communication.
After entering the office and closing the door, Scar Face immediately said, "He has a few informants who received news that the Nuoding Mountain Clan might make a move against us …"
"So it's this matter. After waiting for so long and investigating for so long, is the first test finally coming?"
Chung Shen-soo wasn't surprised at all. "We don't have many weak points. We only have a bar and a pharmacy. In fact … we can give up on these. If necessary, I'll allow you to retreat first."
Such loyal subordinates were very rare, and his Spiritual Perception couldn't bear the burden of others anymore.
As for whether there would be an empty spot if he died?
Chung Shen-soo wasn't crazy enough to experiment on his own subordinates.
Scarface thought for a moment before reminding, "Boss, I think you might need to worry about Young Master Jones and the two ladies …"
"Yes, we need to arrange bodyguards for them. I remember there's a professional security company, right? Hire them through the proper channels, don't be afraid of spending too much money … "
Chung Shen-soo nodded and made arrangements.
Time unknowingly fell, and the Whisper Bar was open as usual.
"A glass of Pawn Desire!"
Julie arrived on time and said with a smile.
"Of course!"
Chung Shen-soo's hands moved quickly, and he quickly mixed a colorful cocktail and brought it to Julie.
Julie took a sip and nodded slightly. Today, she didn't carry a lady's purse, but a satchel.
At this moment, she directly opened it and took out a black notebook. With one hand pressed on it, she brought it to Chung Shen-soo. "The surprise I promised!"
"Thank you!"
Chung Shen-soo thanked her politely and took the black notebook.
The cover was black and very thick, and the inner pages were light yellow like parchment. It had a feeling of the accumulation of time and history.
There was no name on the book, and it looked like a personal notebook. The black cover was not smooth, but instead had a leather-like pattern. It felt rough to the touch.
"What is this?"
Chung Shen-soo's Spiritual Perception spread, and fragmented images appeared in front of his eyes.
A large number of overlapping figures made him dizzy, and it was difficult to understand.
He could only vaguely make out a blurry scene. It seemed to be a dark cellar, and a white-haired old man in work clothes was mixing some thick blood with a fanatical expression. "Brewing Blood of Longevity!"
Blood of Longevity?!
Chung Shen-soo was overjoyed, knowing that he had finally touched the mysterious side of this world.
This book was the key to unlocking the extraordinary!
Even so, his expression did not change.
Julie pursed her lips and smiled. "As a bartender, do you know why many people like wine and think it's the nobility of wine?"
"Because of the color, red wine looks like blood, and is considered to be the wine of battle. In some religious ceremonies, it is called the Blood of God, and is bestowed to believers!"
Chung Shen-soo replied.
"That's right. This book is the bartender's notebook that I mentioned last time, the one where I found the sticky note. There are many wonderful ideas in it … most of them are about how to mix wine."
Julie said openly, "You can definitely improve your bartending skills by studying it. By the way … I gave it a name, 'Blood of Transmutation'! "
"Thank you, I like this gift very much."
Zhong Shenxiu responded with a faint smile, "Then … please forgive me for a moment, I can't wait to study a thing or two."
He called Smith to take over his shift, and left the bar directly with the black notebook.
This scene made Julie's mouth slightly open. She did not know why, but she had a bad feeling.
"I'm not really beating up a worker. The fish has already taken the bait, what's the point of pretending?"
Chung Shen-soo returned to the office on the second floor of the basement, leaned on the office chair, and directly opened the 'Blood of Transmutation' …
