Chapter 81 - Big Sale
He had only won in swords battle, but he still remembered the humiliating defeat he faced yesterday, and he would win all three rounds with his bow before breakthrough as his opponent would also grow stronger with him.
Only half an hour had passed when he heard the sound of footsteps. He opened his eyes and saw a group of three people entering the store. He recognized one person in the group. It was Mark who had just left half-hour ago after splurging more than 500 Primal stones.
"Senior, I brought these two to buy from your store," Mark smilingly said. "He is Bislo, the director of the herb association, and he is Bisal, the deputy director of the pill association," Mark then introduced the two persons he had brought.
Bislo had an average build, and his hair had white streaks indicating his age, but his eyes contained vitality, whereas Bisal looked the younger version of Bislo with the same appearance. They looked like part of the same family, but Aakesh had no interest in knowing it, so he didn\'t ask them about it.
"Is it true that you\'ve pills with impurities of 5%?" Bisal excitedly asked after Mark introduced them.
Aakesh nodded in response to show his affirmation. "Can we see it?" Bisal nervously asked. It was hard for him to believe that someone would sell a pill that contained impurities of less than 20%, let alone 5%, even though Mark had told him the pill was for sale.
"Yes, you just need to buy it," Aakesh responded.
"Why would you sell such pills?" Bisal loudly responded with excitement as well as shock.
"Forgive my son! He\'s just obsessed with alchemy, and that\'s why he\'s acting this way," Bislo apologized with a wry smile, seeing his son\'s excitement.
"No problem!" Aakesh responded. He then went to the counter and asked, "What pills do you want, medium, inferior, or both of them?"
"Can you explain to us about the pills before I decide to buy them?" Bislo respectfully asked.
His tone was respectful, despite being the director of the herb association because Mark had told him to behave, and he had also heard about the killing of Fred, a Void Condensation expert in the store. He would be an idiot if he tried to offend the store owner after that.
Aakesh nodded and said, "You can ask him about the inferior pills, and I would tell you about the medium pills." He then added without waiting to see the group\'s response, "There are five first-grade medium pills I\'m currently selling in the store. They are:
(I) First-grade medium body healing pill: It can allow the user to heal even severed limbs. It costs 25 ordinary Primal stones,
(II) First-grade medium mental healing pill: It can heal the traumas of the being up to Void Forging level. It costs 50 ordinary Primal stones,
(III) First-grade medium dantian healing pill: It can heal the dantian up to the Void Forging level. It costs 75 ordinary Primal stones,
(IV) First-grade medium blood explosion pill: It allows the user to go on a berserk mode without losing control by burning their blood. It costs 50 ordinary Primal stones,
(V) First-grade medium energy meditation pill: It helps the user in their meditation, starting from Nascent Soul. It costs ten ordinary Primal stones."
"So, what\'re the after-effects of using the blood explosion pill, and how much power boost does it give?" Bislo asked after listening about the pills.
"It would make a peak Nascent Soul fight a late Void Condensation expert for a minute, and there would be a weakness for three days, and in the worst case, the user could fall into the coma, but there is no threat of life," Aakesh responded.
The group had shocked expressions after hearing what Aakesh said. "Can a late Void Condensation expert fight a peak Void Condensation expert after using the blood explosion pill?" Bislo asked as he himself was a late Void Condensation cultivator.
"Yes, it may give you a chance to fight," Aakesh nodded.
"Give us three pills each," Bislo excitedly said while pointing at the group of them.
Aakesh nodded and took out nine pills each from the counter shelf. "Your total bill is 1890 ordinary Primal stones!" He said while handing the pills to the group.
Bislo nodded and handed Aakesh the required amount for the pills. Being the director of the herb association had its perks. He earned more than 5000 ordinary Primal stones a month as his salary, and he also belonged to an affluent family.
Aakesh waved his hands, and the mountain of Primal stones disappeared from the store. They were turning around to leave when Aakesh stopped them.
"I have a new product in the store. Do you want to check it out?" Aakesh expressionlessly told the group while pointing at the open room.
"Since I have some time, I can check it," Bislo said with a smile and went toward the room. He didn\'t have time, but since he was happy after getting the pills, he decided to check out the product Aakesh talked about while Bisal and Mark followed him.
The group went to the room and found \'Samsara Samraat\', shining blindingly on the board. They read the following contents and then confusedly looked at Aakesh to explain.
Aakesh didn\'t speak anything and entered the room while the group followed him.
The group sucked a breath of cold air seeing the portal in the room. It looked like a cluster of stars rotating in the darkness of the void, and it also gave them a sense of pressure.
"These are virtual portals, and you would transfer to a new world named Panagea with it," Aakesh explained while pointing at the portals. Without stopping, he added, "You can grow powerful without the fear of death, and you can also gain skills, spells, weapons, pills, potions, etc., in the Panagea. You can take your gains out in the real world if you pay the amount required for it."
The group had a dumbfounded face after hearing what Aakesh said. It was too much to take for them, especially the part about not dying.
"Are you telling the truth?" Bislo respectfully asked with a shocked look on his face.. Bisal and Mark enthusiastically looked at Aakesh, waiting for his response.
