In the second basement of the bar.
Chung Shen-soo looked at the pale green wine in front of him. Traces of dark red color shuttled through it, constantly bubbling and quickly stabilizing.
"It succeeded again. It can increase the dexterity and agility of an ordinary person. The time limit is about fifteen minutes …"
Ever since he advanced to an Extraordinary and could use his own spirituality, Chung Shen-soo found that the success rate of mixing the various spirit wines in the Blood of Transmutation had skyrocketed.
"But it's a pity that this isn't the real blood wine!"
The real blood wine was equally effective on Extraordinaries, and even had a permanent effect.
But Chung Shen-soo didn't have any formulas on hand, nor did he have any other spirituality ingredients.
At the moment, he could only rely on Julie.
"That woman will probably be a middleman for a period of time, and after she earns enough profits, she'll bring me into her circle … This isn't considered greedy, just taking advantage of me …"
Chung Shen-soo was now very rich and overbearing.
Julie thought that he only had one bar, but in fact, Scarface had just reported that the Notting Hill family had already sent over the accounts of their underground bars, asking him to send someone to take over.
Therefore, he did not only have one ATM, but many of them!
Just a little bit leaked out from the gaps between his fingers was enough to satisfy Julie, and even drive many people crazy.
…
It had been a week since the last showdown.
When Chung Shen-soo walked to the bar counter, he was immediately grabbed by Angel. "Li Wei … you're finally here. No matter what, I want a cup of the Twelve Zodiac Series today."
"No problem!"
He laughed and grabbed the mixer casually. His movements were casual and natural, but it was like art. He quickly placed a cocktail in front of Angel. "Cinderella! It contains beautiful blessings, just like how an ugly duckling can turn into a white swan … "
Angel took a sip, and her eyes lit up.
"A duck can't turn into a swan, unless it's a swan to begin with … or it's under a transformation curse from a bedtime story …"
It was unknown when Julie had arrived and made a joke, but Angel immediately became angry.
"Give me a cocktail."
She said to Chung Shen-soo with a smile.
"Today, I recommend Blue Hawaii. It's made with rum, blue orange wine, coconut milk, and pineapple juice. It looks like a blue ocean, and the crushed ice symbolizes the waves …"
Chung Shen-soo nodded and made a blue cocktail, which emitted a rich sweet aroma of fruit juice.
"Not bad!"
Julie took a sip and narrowed her eyes. "I look forward to the day when I can drink all twelve constellations."
"There will definitely be a chance."
Chung Shen-soo replied with a smile. Under the murderous gazes of many men, he invited, "Do you want to visit my wine cellar?"
"It's my pleasure!"
Julie deftly held the wine glass and followed Chung Shen-soo to the office on the second floor of the basement.
She casually created a spirituality soundproof wall, and the liquid in the glass rippled. She stared at Chung Shen-soo with a faint smile. "Looks like … you've already completed a dream trip?"
"Yes, that was a very wonderful experience. It was like a dream, but it was real … I felt like a person who had been blind for a long time saw the light again, and saw the essence of the world …"
Chung Shen-soo said with a sigh.
"Don't be too engrossed. Although the periphery of the dream is safe, it's not particularly safe …"
Julie warned him with a solemn expression.
'This woman really didn't realize that I've already passed through the pitch-black door and become an Extraordinary …'
Chung Shen-soo's heart stirred, and he said again, "I'm very interested in the spiritual world. Are there any books that introduce this?"
"This kind of mysticism knowledge is quite expensive!"
Julie plucked the cherry from the edge of the glass and put it to her lips. Surprisingly, her lips were a little brighter.
"Also … I know that you'll definitely try to collect mysticism books through other means. Let me warn you here, some mysticism knowledge is very dangerous. Just understanding it might bring about a curse … And knowledge about the spiritual world isn't necessarily better the older it is. You have to know … since ancient times, when it was called the Wilderness of Constellations, it has been constantly changing. So far, apart from the Six Great Waymarks, there hasn't been anything that's eternal. Therefore, the descriptions in some ancient books might be outdated … "
'That's not the Six Great Waymarks, it's a spectacle!'
Thinking of the pitch-black wall, Chung Shen-soo muttered to himself. At the same time, he felt very emotional.
'Why do I feel that disorder and chaos are the main themes of this world? The spiritual world is like this, and so is the nameless art …'
'Knowledge about the spiritual world is more precious the closer it is to the current time … If you really want it, I can give you a manuscript that I've sorted out. Yes, 300 dollars is a very suitable price.'
Julie secretly gave herself a thumbs up. This kind of knowledge was almost free for newcomers at the gathering.
But now, she could sell it for a high price of 300 dollars. It was even faster than robbing someone!
"Sure!"
Chung Shen-soo had already become a real tycoon. Hearing this price, he agreed without even blinking, which made Julie feel that she was asking for a cheap price.
Thinking of this, she took out a small glass bottle from her lady's handbag and placed it on the desk. "Rose's Blood, Resentful Ghost's Tears, Heaven's Feather, Steel's Sweat … These spiritual materials should be very useful to you right now. I've marked their prices, you can start choosing."
"I want all of them."
Chung Shen-soo crossed his fingers and smiled as he took out a thick stack of cash. "Next time, not only do I want to see the manuscript of the spiritual world, but I also hope to obtain some knowledge about the nameless art."
"The nameless art can only be practiced by Excellencies. Moreover, it's very dangerous!" Julie's expression became serious. "You haven't become an Extraordinary yet!"
"I prefer to be prepared. Besides … what if I advance the next time we meet?" Chung Shen-soo began to lay the groundwork for his breakthrough the next time they met.
"Could it be … that you've already seen the Dark Door?"
Julie covered her mouth in surprise.
"Yes … the wall that separates the projection from the real spiritual world is like a spectacle. Why do you call it the Dark Door and not the Wall of Sighs?"
Chung Shen-soo asked.
"Because it's been called that since ancient times," Julie said. Julie said, "In addition … some Beyonders speculate that this pitch-black door is the masterpiece of a great existence. It stands at the edge of the spirit world, blocking the ignorant outside. It's a form of protection for humans!"
"I agree with this view, but the question is … which existence built it?" Chung Shen-soo asked.
"I don't know …" Julie replied with a bitter smile. "In the long secret history, too many existences have perished … Although such great existences can't perish, and they may not have the concept of 'perishing' or 'death,' their name has long been forgotten by the mortal world …"
