Chapter 563 Moon Tower Headquarters

After successfully breaking through to the Saint Realm and consolidating his cultivation, Xu Chu immediately returned to Wolong City without stopping.

Although many Formations were set up there, it was still in the wild and not very safe.

Even Xu Chu, who was already in the Saint Realm, remained cautious.

Perhaps only when he could stand at the peak of the Tian Yuan World, unrivaled in the world, would he dare to be a little reckless.

Xu Chu had just returned to his residence when, unexpectedly, Shopkeeper Qiu paid him a visit that same afternoon.

“Oh, Brother Xu, have you had a Breakthrough?” Although Shopkeeper Qiu couldn't sense Xu Chu's exact Realm, he clearly felt the difference in him compared to before.

The gap between Cultivators in the Saint Realm and those below it was too vast; even with Xu Chu's superb methods of concealment, a careful person would still notice.

Xu Chu's expression was calm, “I've had some insights and gains recently.”

“That's perfect. I came this time to tell you something you've always been very concerned about,” Shopkeeper Qiu said with a smile.

Xu Chu looked sideways and asked, “What is it?”

“Didn't I tell you before that the brewers of Wangyue Restaurant have an assessment every fifty years, and this assessment is very close now?” Shopkeeper Qiu said.

Xu Chu suddenly realized, “When is it?”

“Three months from now,” Shopkeeper Qiu replied.

Xu Chu had thought Shopkeeper Qiu came to see him because he knew about his Breakthrough, but it turned out to be for this matter.

Xu Chu had indeed been very concerned about this matter, as it was related to his grand plan for revenge.

The brewers of Wangyue Restaurant undergo an assessment once every fifty years, mainly to evaluate their professional skills.

Those with high levels and good results would be assigned to larger continents, enjoy better treatment, and possess more abundant resources and benefits.

The top three in the assessment could also choose to challenge the chief brewer, and if they won against Wangyue Restaurant's chief brewer, they could replace him.

If one could become the chief brewer of Wangyue Restaurant, their status would be very considerable; it could be said they would directly enter Wangyue Restaurant's highest management layer.

The status and power they would possess were imaginable.

Shopkeeper Qiu suddenly said, “Actually, it's not just the brewers; the managers in each of our provinces also have a performance evaluation, and those with good performance will be assigned to work in larger provinces.”

“With Shopkeeper Qiu's capabilities, I'm sure you'll definitely be among the top, able to choose a favorite place to work,” Xu Chu complimented him.

In reality, everyone understood.

The reason Wangyue Restaurant operated this way, besides encouraging managers to improve their performance, was also to prevent them from staying in one place for too long and eventually turning Wangyue Restaurant's branches into their own.

That's why they needed to be regularly transferred to other places, just like how things were in the imperial court.

Shopkeeper Qiu laughed, “Brother Xu, you flatter me. In my opinion, your brewing skills are absolutely outstanding among the many brewers of Wangyue Restaurant, and you will definitely make a name for yourself this time.”

“In the future, contending for that chief brewer position will also be no problem at all.”

Xu Chu waved his hand.

“Alright, Shopkeeper Qiu, let's not keep praising each other.”

He hadn't thought about contending for the chief brewer position in the future; he intended to contend for it this time!

If he didn't win this time, he would just wait another fifty years; he had all the time in the world anyway.

He was determined to become this chief brewer.

And he was determined to wreak havoc on this Wangyue Restaurant!

Shopkeeper Qiu also had to go to Wangyue Restaurant's headquarters at that time, so Xu Chu agreed to go with him, as Xu Chu was unfamiliar with the place and having him along would provide some assistance.

Another month passed.

Xu Chu prepared the spiritual wine he would need for the upcoming period, and Shopkeeper Qiu arranged everything else.

The two of them then left Qing Province together, heading to the province where Wangyue Restaurant's main branch was located.

Shopkeeper Qiu's flying boat was quite fast; they reached their destination in just over a month.

Of course, this was also because it wasn't far from Qing Province.

If it were from Xu Chu's remote hometown, Cang Continent, even a Saint King Realm expert flying without stopping would take about a year.

When Xu Qingzhou went to visit Xu Ying and Mu Ge, he spent over a year traveling each time; returning was a bit better, as an Emperor Realm expert would escort him, and it would only take a few days.

As one of the eighteen overlord-level forces in the Tian Yuan World, the province occupied by Wangyue Restaurant was naturally vast and rich in resources.

The headquarters' location was abundant in Spiritual Qi, with majestic and spectacular divine mountains and ancient peaks, and colorful auspicious clouds floating halfway up the mountainside, looking beautiful and dreamlike, like a fairyland.

On the highest peak in the center, palaces and buildings were densely packed, one after another, seemingly endless.

Xu Chu was indeed seeing the shock brought by a Saint-rank Spiritual Vein for the first time.

“I've long known there are Saint-rank Spiritual Veins above heaven-rank spiritual veins, but I never expected the difference to be so great.”

“If I could get a Saint-rank Spiritual Vein and put it in the Azure Dragon Secret Realm, I could Cultivate there until I reach Saint King Realm Perfection before coming out.”

The Xu Family were surprisingly similar; after experiencing the power of a Saint-rank Spiritual Vein for the first time, they all had the same thought: get one and take it back.

Shopkeeper Qiu thought Xu Chu was shocked by the majestic and spectacular sight and explained with a smile.

“When I first came here, I hadn't become a Saint yet. I had the same expression as you back then. It'll be fine after you come a few more times.”

Xu Chu nodded.

They arrived in front of the largest palace on the mountaintop, where dazzling divine lights were still arriving from all directions.

They were all managers and brewers from other provinces, and each of their auras was as deep as an abyss and as vast as the sea, terrifying to the extreme.

Most of them were middle-aged and elderly; young people like Xu Chu were rare.

There were also a very few old men who still carried a strong scent of wine, not knowing if they hadn't sobered up when they arrived or had been drinking all the way.

This was too normal for brewers; some brewers simply became brewers just to drink good wine.
