The First Store System

Chapter 1068: Change in Fortune(2)

Puchi! Puchi!

The crystalline shards pierced through the Feralith's skin like a hot knife cutting through butter.

Howl!

The Feralith cried out in pain as the seven shards hit seven different parts. The Feralith still had vitality left due to its tenacious physique as it attempted to charge at Tira and grab it.

Tira gasped for clear breath, backing away.

Thud!

The situation didn't continue for long, and the Feralith fell into its blood pool.

Tira stopped backing away. A smile spread across her face as she saw her victory.

The next moment, Tira found herself back in the store, a wide smile spreading across her face.

Soon, the smile froze as she felt the flow of time. Sometimes, the more people know, the worse they become when surprised.


Tira knew the strength of the time. Increasing and decreasing the flow of time was nothing when compared with stopping the flow of time, and that's what happened in the store.

Time was like a raging river, where the flow rate could be manipulated depending on different abilities, but stopping it was like facing the full strength of that river. Even a Sacred Creator would think twice before trying to do it.

But then Tira remembered about Panagea. Earlier, she had doubts about the authenticity of Aakesh's claims, but after knowing that even time could be stopped, she believed what he introduced, and then, in comparison to Panagea, preventing the time flow seemed like nothing to talk about.

Time flew by, and soon all the steps were completed, and Tira became the owner of the Feralith.
"Thank you, Aakesh," Tira thanked Aakesh as the required sum got deducted from her Supreme Store Card. She still referred to Aakesh by his name, but now, there was a slight hint of respect toward him when she talked.

After completing the beast's purchase, Tira didn't leave the store. She had been traveling for millions of years across the lower-ranked areas in the Sacred Dimensions. So now when she saw a chance to change her fortune, how could she be casual about it?

After the beasts, she went toward the cultivation arts room to search for one for herself as well as the Feralith. Traveling across many areas, Tira had also accumulated a few cultivation arts, but since the store's ability impressed her, she decided to see if there could be changes in her fortune.

***

In the cultivation arts room, there were already people present. They ignored Tira and kept looking for suitable art.

The cultivation arts sales in the store weren't as high as other products, making it the slowest item to sell, but the customer's interest in it was high. Many didn't even buy any art, but only looked at them, and then left the store.

Tira was a Lesser God, but the cultivation arts in the store were only for cultivators up to the True God level. Still, she didn't worry. Tira would even risk starting again if she found a suitable cultivation art for herself.

She also joined other customers in searching for a suitable cultivation art. She extended her hands inside the second shelf, and when she pulled it out, there was a page in her hands.

[Name- The Mountain and Sea Art,

Grade- Higher grade,

Type: Qi-cultivation system,

Details: In the Mountain and Sea Art, the cultivator uses Qi to have the strength of a mountain in their fist while having the agility of crossing the sea in a single jump.

Users: Divine Lord & True God

Price: 500 higher Sacred stones.]

Tira looked at the details on the page and then immediately returned it to the shelf.

Time flew by, and around an hour had passed. In that time, Tira had looked at more than fifty different cultivation arts. She was astounded by the sheer number of arts. She also found the cultivation art her family used in the lot.

More time flew by, and around three hours after Tira entered the room, she finally found a cultivation art that made her skip her heartbeat.

[Name- Thousand Blossoms Art,

Grade- Higher grade,

Type: Qi-cultivation system,

Details: In Thousand Blossoms Art, the cultivator uses Qi to cultivate and improves energy, the divine, and the body.

Users: Divine Lord & True God

Price: Seventy-five supreme Sacred stones.]

Tira didn't even think twice before selecting the preview option for the cultivation art, even though it would cost her 75 thousand higher Sacred stones if she didn't like it.

But Tira had no such doubts in her heart since she knew Thousand Blossoms Art. It was an art that had long vanished from the Sacred Dimension, as it was used by a long-extinct species in the war against Vritrasura.

The next moment, light particles began to gather, and soon they formed a book in front of her. It was only visible to her, as seen from the non-reaction of the customers around her.

Her eyes contained anticipation as she opened the book, and the first page came into her sight.

On the first page was the title of the art, and beneath it were three beautiful orchids, each made of several petals. When she looked at the drawing, she felt as if she was in the middle of a rain of petals.

She soon returned to reality, as the illusion didn't last for long due to her cultivation. She then turned around to the next page and saw the content written on it.

The Thousand Blossoms Art was based on the idea that a petal represented a different aspect of cultivation, mainly focusing on only three aspects, inner energy, spiritual energy, and physical energy.

Inner energy corresponded to Qi; Spiritual energy corresponded to Soul; and Physical energy defined the physique of the cultivator. These three factors were the most prominent aspects of cultivation, and the growth of all three was a necessary requirement for the cultivators to grow.

The cultivator would first form a petal corresponding to each of the three aspects, and when it had completely formed in the sea of consciousness, the cultivator would repeat the process to cultivate another petal.

The page contained more details, and as Tira turned the page, she came around to the exercises required to cultivate the petals. When the reading was over, Tira made her decision to buy the Thousand Blossoms Art.
