Chapter 629: Buying another Product!

Ben opened his eyes, and a burning flame could be seen in them. Above his head, a projection of a grand palace made of gold, white, and orange appeared.

The emergence of the projection signified the successful breakthrough of a cultivator from peak Tao Manifestation to early Tao Palace.

Ben closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they became normal like before, but they contained an abundance of joy never seen before. With it, there was also a mixture of astonishment and puzzle.

“I succeeded?” Ben couldn’t help but ask Aakesh, as it was no less than a dream for him. Ben had been stuck at this level for thousands of years, so when now he finally got his breakthrough, the scene looked like an illusion to him.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and asked Ben if he wanted something else. Aakesh had no interest in waiting here for Ben to celebrate his breakthrough.

“Thank you, store owner,” The next moment, Ben bowed and thanked Aakesh. His tone contained sincerity and no falsehood. “I want another product,” Ben then added.

Now that he had become a Tao Palace level cultivator using one of the store’s pills, he wanted to use another one.

During the store product’s introduction, Aakesh introduced the first-grade Immortal Palace experience pill to him. It had an ability not known to the majority of the inhabitants of the Primal dimension.

The pill could help cultivators of Tao Palace cultivation to upgrade their Tao Palace by one level, becoming more powerful than other Tao Palace cultivators in their respective levels or when they ascended to Immortality.

Ben then requested Aakesh for one first-grade Immortal Palace experience pill. Any customer could buy four pills of each grade in the Immortal grade pills, but what Ben wanted cost too much for him to buy four of them, so Ben decided to buy only one of them for now.

(A/N: I made a mistake in yesterday’s chapter. Instead of using superior, I used supreme Primal stones. Now, I have edited the chapter and rectified my mistake. Sorry for the trouble!)

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded. He then stood up from his chair and went back to the pill counter.

This time, Aakesh went to the fifth row and took out a pill from the seventh column.

Similar to the last pill, it was also golden in color with orange rings on it. But this time, the number of rings was five, and there was no pattern embedded in it.

As soon as Ben’s eyes landed on the pill, he couldn’t help but groan in pain as a soul-crushing pain attacked him. Ben did not take long to guess the source of the pain. It was his newly-created Tao Palace. It was feeling the brunt of the pill just by it existing outside.

Ben attempted everything to stop the process as he knew if the pressure continued for a while, his Tao Palace would disintegrate, turning all his effort of centuries and millennials to nothing.

Aakesh suddenly snapped his fingers. The next moment, Ben felt the pain disappear as quickly as it had arrived, but when he looked at his Tao Palace after entering his consciousness, he found it to be as new as ever. Ben couldn’t help but sweat in fear as he understood that what he felt and saw was nothing but an illusion.

At the same time, Ben also felt excited as the Golden Space Fire had no illusion attributes, but the pill clearly threw him into an illusion just with a glance. Ben couldn’t help but feel horrified and excited over what his new Tao Palace would be after the pill successfully helped him upgrade it.

“You need to pay nine hundred ninety-nine million, four hundred and sixty-three thousand, seven hundred and eighty-seven supreme Primal stone,” Aakesh expressionlessly told Ben the price he needed to pay for the pill.

Since the Golden Space Fire was one of the mightiest Tao in the Primal dimension, its upgrade similarly stood at the peak with only a few other Tao. So the cost was almost at the limit of what the first-grade Immortal Palace experience pill cost.

Ben couldn’t help but get dumbfounded as he heard the price of the pill. Ben had no idea why the store sold it for that price and not for 999,500,000 or 1,000,000,000. He couldn’t gather any courage to ask this question to the store owner, so he decided to forget about it and focus on the pill.

The next moment, Ben took out the required amount of supreme Primal stones from his space ring, creating a giant mountain. Aakesh didn’t care for it and waved his hands.

The next moment, the mountain disappeared from the store as it appeared in the system’s space.

“Here, you paid extra,” Aakesh suddenly told Ben and handed him the one extra supreme Primal stones.

Ben did not know what to say at that moment, but when he remembered Aakesh’s earlier statement, he stopped thinking about it and put it back into his space ring.

Since the system got its complete payment, it informed Aakesh, and not long after, Aakesh told Ben that he was now the owner of the pill.

Ben nodded, and similar to the earlier situation, he put the pill into his mouth with agility impossible for someone of his cultivation.

The next moment, light particles started emerging out of Ben’s body, and his skin started turning pale. Soon the process came to an end as a cocoon engulfed his body.

The cocoon was only orange in color, but there was a dark golden hue around it, giving it a mystifying appearance.

Time flew by.

The pill provided an experience of three hundred seconds to the cultivator, unlike the three seconds in the superior-grade pill. When finally the three hundredth second arrived, the cocoon with an unimaginable speed disintegrated.

Not long after, Ben opened his eyes. They contained an abundance of disappointment as from this experience, Aakesh had sensed that he needed tens of pills to reach the stage where he could upgrade his Tao Palace. Ben couldn’t help but feel a prickle in his skin, considering the amount of supreme Primal stones he needed to spend to buy those tens of pills.

Ben came from a great family on the Malla continent. It had its own advantage and disadvantages. He had a large resource at his bay at any time, but at the same time, he couldn’t use it unless he proved his talent. Ben’s staying at peak Tao Manifestation for millennials had resulted in him getting to the lowest rung of his family.

Soon Ben’s eyes returned to calm. Now that he had achieved early Tao Palace with such mighty Tao, his place in the family would rise again, and this time, it would surpass his previous peak status in the family. At that time, he wouldn’t have to worry about spending money.

Ben had another option. He could tell his family about the pill, but Ben decided against it for now. He would only do it after upgrading his Tao Palace since there were a few siblings of his who were even more talented than him, and Ben didn’t want to lose to them here.

Since Ben did not have enough money to buy the remaining three pills for the day, he decided to forget about it. The thinking was easy, but doing wasn’t, so it took several moments for Ben to come around.

Even though Ben couldn’t buy any more pills, there were other store products there. Ben then remembered Panagea.

“Store owner, I want to enter Panagea,” Ben requested.

“What time flow rate?” Aakesh expressionlessly asked since he couldn’t just ignore it.

“Three times,” Ben straight away responded. He had already spent around a billion supreme Primal stones, so spending another one wasn’t a tough task for him, let alone he only needed to pay in top Primal stones.

“You need to pay 500 top Primal stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and then told Ben the price of eighteen hours of stay in the Panagea.

Ben had already taken out the amount since it was already known to him, unlike in the case of the pills where it varied in its cost.

Aakesh waved his hands. Since the payment was complete, Aakesh pointed the portal room to Ben and told him the way to enter it.

“Thank you, store owner,” Ben thanked Aakesh and then proceeded in the direction of his destination.

Aakesh then closed his eyes since no customers were currently waiting for his service.

Time flew by.

All the two hundred million plus virtual portals were currently filled since they had accommodated both groups at once.

Those customers who had bought the original time flow rate in Panagea could only stay for two hours in the Primal dimension, so their time finally arrived. The system started transporting them out one by one, depending on their entry sequence.

Since Aakesh had decided to introduce the cultivation arts to the customers after they exited from Panagea, he stood up from his chair and went toward the locked room.

“Click!”

With a clicking sound, he opened the room as customers started leaving the portal room one by one.

There were only two rooms open in the store, so when the third got opened, it caught every customer’s eyes.

All the customers grew excited since an extra open room meant a new product, and a new product in the store meant another fascinating item that would help them in their growth, without many risks.
