Primordial Dimensions

Searching through the system's shop he found many cultivation manuals and body refining techniques, but he was astonished to see that all of them were so cheap.

'Why are mana stones and so on so expensive compared to these manuals? Is it really only to shorten the time to cultivate?'

Shane was extremely confused and this was mainly, because the [Tier-1 (Gold)] techniques he wanted to purchase were cheap, compared to the resources he had to accumulate to create a flawless physique.

With his 596 gold coins, he initially thought that he could at most purchase one [Tier-1 (Gold)] manual, but he completely forgot, that he only paid 35-60 gold coins for his [TIer-1 (Bronze)] techniques, while he clearly remembered the price for all cultivation resources and the [Mortal-(Mythic)] perfect body refining manual at 500 gold coins.

The [Tier-1 (Gold)] mana purifying manual to reach a purity of 30% was priced at 120 gold coins, but because Shane didn't want to reach a mana purity of 30% in order to prevent mistakenly reaching because it could disqualify him from accomplishing or even request the [Apprentice-(Mythic)] mission.

As such, he purchased a mana purifying manual with a mana purity of 28% for 100 gold coins while the [Tier-1 (Gold)] mana gathering technique was also priced at 100 gold coins.

The only more expensive manual was the [Tier-1(Gold)] body refining manual for 150 gold coins.

Purchasing all of them at once, he barely paid 350 gold coins, which was a huge sum for everyone else, except Shane.

"WHAT?!" He exclaimed furiously, as he saw the manuals appearing within his spatial ring completely taken aback.

Mumbling, one could only hear a noisy "Why is being perfect so expensive?!!?" revering through the cave, as he took out the three manuals lifelessly in order to learn them.

Learning the three manuals, they dissipated while a vast stream of information appeared in his memory, which would normally motivate him, but not today.

'While others can enter the expert rank with the same amount of gold coins, I have to use to establish a perfect Mortal Physique.

What could others accomplish with the funds I need to construct a flawless foundation?' He started to estimate, somewhat depressed, as he picked up his pickaxe.

Shaking his head, Shane only wanted to look at one thing within the system's shop in order to figure out how much the [Tier-2 (Gold)] mana purifying technique with a purity of 60% would cost.

In the end, a [Tier-2 (Gold)] mana purifying technique was the best technique one could obtain without doing missions or meeting other requirements which was the reason for most parents to purchase it for their children as the first thing when they entered the Primordial Dimensions.

Shane didn't have this support, but that was not a problem, because funds were apparently his smallest problem, as he saw the price for the 60% mana purity technique.

[Tier-2 (Gold)] mana purifying technique [60%]=1000 gold coins

'Should he cry now or be happy about this?'

Even the price for the [Mortal-(Extraordinary] Beast sealing card with the [soul connection] effect was almost as expensive as the most expensive mana purifying technique without any other requirement, leading Shane to feel extremely weird.

Sighing, deeply Shane decided that he would purchase the [Tier-2 (Gold)] mana purifying technique soon.

After that, he might have some peace for some time, without anything remembering him at the unfairness he endured by paying astronomical prices for almost everything…

Facing reality was not easy for Shane and instead of waiting for the merchant he contacted to message him back, he would rather mine more crystals in order to increase his fortune further, only for the gold coins to vanish once again when new cultivation resources were required.

Sighing deeply, he was unfortunate enough to have researched the prices for his future cultivation resources, which hurt his heart, soul, and entire being more than expected.

"F**k this bulls**t!! If a flawless body is not essentially stronger than a flawed physique I want a refund!!!" Shane kept mumbling and he felt like he was about to go insane, as he swung his pickaxe at the crystals, simultaneously releasing his anger.

Hours passed until his anger completely substituted and Shane smiled faintly with a mountain of resources within his spatial ring that seemed even higher than the previous one.

He completely lost track of time and didn't even glance at the system's clock, while something else attracted his attention.

The merchant he messaged sent him the cultivation resources and Shane had to ponder with what he should begin now.

'In the end, everything comes back to my physique! Once I reach a perfect mortal physique, I can rush through the Apprentice stage!!'

Creating a flawless physique took the longest and it was the most reasonable thing to do for the next few days, while mining mana and elemental crystals in order to supply Umbra with more and earn more funds.

He was confident that his last purchase would be enough for the first step he had to accomplish, while the rest could be rushed with a high mana purity he could easily reach while a flawed physique could barely be labeled as a problem.

There was not even a problem he had to face at the moment, because he gained quite a lot of funds and Shane was confident to reach a high mana purity soon enough, once his physique was flawless.

'I can't think too negatively!! My flawless physique will bring me many benefits and even with a perfect 5th Mortal physique I feel already much stronger compared to before! THINK POSITIVE YOU IDIOT!!' Shane cursed himself in order to highen his diminishing motivation, as he took a basin out of his spatial ring, which he filled with water.

After that, he dissolved two [Mortal-(Extraordinary)] solutions inside the water, before he placed a few [Tier-1 (Trash)] mana stones around it.

Taking off his clothes, Shane slowly descended into the water, before he activated his [Mortal-(Mythic)] body refining technique which greedily absorbed the nutrition inside the water and the mana around him, without caring about its origin.

His body groaned and without being sure if his body could handle everything right now, Shane decided to face it at once, without trying to slow down the whole process which he previously did.

With his pores widened and black blood oozing out of them, Shane looked like the reincarnation of a devil, as his eyes turned blood-shot.

Without knowing why, a few words suddenly appeared in his mind, as he said

"Just wait everyone!! Even If I take longer to ascend, trash will remain trash, while a diamond has to be polished in order to show its true value!!"
