Merlin Avenue No.25.

Within the mansion.

The basement.

Zhong Shenxiu used the batch of spirits hidden here to concoct an original version of the Pawned Desire cocktail, slowly savoring it.

"Hmm... there are no other effects, no abnormalities found in inspiration, just an ordinary cocktail, albeit one that demands a high level of skill from the bartender."

"Looks like Julie is testing me?"

His face remained calm, without any emotional fluctuations.

Being tested was a good thing; it meant that he could obtain some kind of qualification.

Zhong Shenxiu had not forgotten the purpose of his visit to this world.

His main-world self had already been deemed hopeless for the Primordial Pill, not just because his body was too strong, but fundamentally due to the contamination of the Evil God.

Therefore, even if he were to train from scratch, his foundation would remain impure, unable to condense a Primordial Pill.

His main goal in coming to this world was to find a way.

’On one hand, to covertly explore the extraordinary paths of this world. If it were possible to achieve longevity and the subsequent issues weren’t too severe, then taking over this world’s path would be acceptable.’

’If there is no way to achieve longevity, or the risks are too great, I would instead try to hunt other Primordial Pill beings, or search for similar treasures that could aid in condensing the Outer Elixir, in preparation for the Outer Elixir Method...’

’If neither of the above paths work out, then I’ll quickly complete my fixation by trafficking private spirits, harvest a batch of Heavenly Show Points, and return to the main world...’

Having thought through his actions for the period ahead, Zhong Shenxiu returned to the mansion, only to see the Jones siblings chasing each other.

"What’s going on?"

He frowned and shouted angrily.

Jones stopped first, as if because of the rapid changes in Li Wei recently, he had become much more obedient in front of this big brother.

This was actually hiding a sense of fear, but Zhong Shenxiu couldn’t be bothered to correct it.

It was fine this way; at least he was obedient.

Besides, he wasn’t truly their older brother. Ensuring they had no worries about food and clothing and a bright future was enough; there was no need to care about the rest.

"I’m telling on... Jones has been in love recently, I just saw him secretly applying hair gel in his room..."

Carmela hid behind Zhong Shenxiu and said loudly.

"In love, with whom?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s eyes shifted as he recalled, "That Misha?"

"No!"

Jones’s ears reddened as if they were cooking: "She... she just agreed to go with me to that famous Vidona Restaurant!"

"Hehe... Little brother, you’re too young!"

Zhong Shenxiu patted Jones on the shoulder, expressing pity, "At the bar, any guy who stuffs a US Dollar into her would be able to ask her out..."

Having said that, he didn’t care how the poor green young man felt and walked straight out.

...

Whisperer Bar.

"Boss!"

Seeing Zhong Shenxiu arrive, the scarred face immediately approached, "There’s a message from Jamie..."

"Come to the office with me."

Zhong Shenxiu looked around.

Jamie was an important contact, and within his small group, only scar-faced was in charge of the direct communication.

Once in the office with the door closed, the scarred face immediately said, "He has a few informants; they’ve received information that the Notting Hill family might make a move on us..."

"So it’s about that issue, after all the endurance, all the investigation, the first probe is finally about to arrive?"

Zhong Shenxiu had no surprise whatsoever, "We don’t have many weak points, just a bar and a pharmacy, and in fact... we can forgo them, when necessary, I allow you to retreat first."

Such loyal subordinates were indeed rare, and his inspiration was already burdened enough without taking on anyone else.

As for whether death would free up a spot?

Zhong Shenxiu hadn’t been so heartless as to use his own people as experiments yet.

"Boss, I think, perhaps you might also need to worry about Mr. Jones and the two young ladies..." the man with the scar thought for a moment, then reminded.

"Yes, I need to arrange bodyguards for them. I remember there is a specialized security company, right? Hire through official channels, don’t be afraid to spend more..."

Zhong Shenxiu nodded and made arrangements.

Before they knew it, evening had arrived, and the Whisperer Bar was open for business as usual.

"A cocktail called ’Pawned Desire’!"

Julie arrived as expected, smiling.

"Of course!"

Zhong Shenxiu’s hands fluttered expertly, quickly mixing a distinctively colored cocktail and placing it in front of Julie.

Julie took a gentle sip, nodded slightly; today, she wasn’t carrying that lady’s clutch, but rather a crossbody bag.

She opened it then and there, taking out a black notebook and holding it down with one hand, she slid it across to Zhong Shenxiu: "The surprise I promised!"

"Thank you!"

Zhong Shenxiu politely expressed his gratitude and accepted the black notebook.

Its cover was pitch black, quite thick, and the inside pages were parchment-like pale yellow, imbued with a sense of long years and history.

The cover had no name and seemed like a personal notebook; the black cover was not smooth, but rather had a pattern similar to leather. When touched with fingertips, it felt rough.

"What is this?"

Zhong Shenxiu’s inspiration spread and fragmented images appeared before his eyes.

Overlapping figures made him dizzy and confused, difficult to comprehend.

He could only make out a vague scene: a dim cellar where an old man in work clothes, with whitening hair, was fervently mixing a thick blood-like substance: "Brewing longevity blood!"

Longevity blood?!

Zhong Shenxiu was elated, knowing he had finally touched upon the mysterious side of this world.

This book, was the key to unlocking the extraordinary!

Even so, he remained composed on the surface.

Julie, however, was smiling with her lips pursed: "As a bartender, do you know why many people like wine, considering it the aristocrat among drinks?"

"Because of the color, red wine resembles fresh blood, considered as the wine of combat, and in certain religious rites, it’s called the blood of gods, granting Believers!"

Zhong Shenxiu answered.

"Exactly, this book is the one I mentioned before, the one with the notes I found. It contains a lot of creative ideas... mostly about how to mix wine."

Julie spoke very openly: "By studying it, you’ll certainly be able to advance your bartending skills. By the way... I’ve named it, ’The Blood of Transformation’!"

"Thank you, I really like this gift."

Zhong Shenxiu responded with a smile: "So... please excuse me for a moment, I can’t wait to delve into it."

He took the black notebook, called Smith to take over the bar, and left the counter directly.

This scene left Julie with her mouth slightly agape, not knowing why she felt a sense of foreboding.

"I’m not really a wage worker, the fish has taken the bait, why keep up the act?"

Zhong Shenxiu returned to his office on the second underground floor, leaned back in his office chair, and directly opened ’The Blood of Transformation’...
