The First Store System

“A trillion supreme Primal stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly answered the Void beast.

“Okay,” Oxen responded and then began to take out the Primal stones from his pocket space.

The Void beasts didn’t follow the cultivation system of the Primal dimension since they were born with this level of strength. The pocket space was something Oxen created himself by dividing the space over a thousand miles and started using it as his pouch to carry things.

Oxen had no idea how many Primal stones he had with him as he rarely used them, and Oxen also never expected himself to buy anything since he was here for a purpose.

Time flew by.

“Three hundred billion, four hundred and ninety-seven million, six hundred and sixty-eight thousand, nine hundred and five supreme Primal stones,” Aakesh expressionlessly told the number of Primal stones the Void beast had given him after the system informed Aakesh.

“Eh!” Oxen exclaimed in surprise since he hadn’t even paid half the amount he needed to pay for the training area.

He finally understood the steep price of the training area since he previously thought of trillion supreme Primal stones as nothing as he had no use for them.

“Can you give me credit for the remaining sum? I would return it to you later,” Oxen asked Aakesh with an embarrassed face. He had never expected such a thing to happen where he would have to request the store owner.

“No!” Aakesh bluntly responded, as the system didn’t offer such services for any customer.

Oxen didn’t attempt to persuade Aakesh as he could see that Aakesh would never budge. He instead asked, “Do you take items in place of Primal stones?”

Oxen had several Immortal-level weapons in his pocket space since he had gotten summoned twice during these countless years. He stored the weapons, which survived his attacks, in his pocket space after succeeding in the mission.

“No, the store only sells products, not purchases,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded.

Oxen then fell into a dilemma as he neither had money to pay for the training area nor did the store owner take the item he had in his pocket space.

Oxen then suddenly remembered an item he had gained from his first summon.

“Do you take Sacred stones?” Oxen asked.

During his first summon, Oxen had faced a group that had arisen due to a ruin just like Demonic-Fire. But since it wasn’t public information that the top-five organization had one promise of help from the Void beast, so when the group attacked the fifth-ranked organization at that time and almost succeeded in completely destroying it, the organization had used their one promise and summoned.

Oxen successfully completed the request of the organization, and he had gotten an unrecognizable opaque stone at that time.

He only found out the information about the stone through the Void beasts of the Sacred dimension.

For the first time, Aakesh didn’t refuse straight away. He instead asked the system about it.

“Hey, system, can inferior Sacred stone be considered a currency for the purchase?”

[Yes, Host! The Sacred stone can be considered as currency here in the Primal dimension.]

[But Host, there isn’t an exchange rate between the Primal stone and Sacred stone since the energy gap between both of them is unimaginable.]

The system responded in its usual mechanical and emotionless voice.

“Does that mean he can exchange any amount of supreme Primal stone for an inferior Sacred stone?” Aakesh further asked.

[Yes, Host!]

Aakesh didn’t ask any further questions. He then looked toward Oxen and said, “You can use the inferior Sacred stone, but there isn’t a conversion rate for it.”

“I don’t need much. Just give me an hour in the training area for it,” Oxen responded straight away.

He had no use of the Sacred stone since his level was limited to the Primal dimension, and he would never be able to ascend.

“Are you sure?” Aakesh asked as Oxen was taking a great loss with the deal.

“Yes,” Oxen replied.

Aakesh expressionlessly nodded and then told the Void beast to take these supreme Primal stones away and instead give him the inferior Sacred stone.

Oxen took out the stone from his pocket space.

As soon as it appeared, the space around it had started to become unstable. The system acted right away and erased the pressure released by it.

Oxen, who was going to act, felt surprised, seeing a sudden invisible pressure arriving and attacking the Sacred stone.

He couldn’t help but take a glance around him as he was confident that Aakesh wasn’t the one to do this.

“Who did that?” Oxen asked.

“You don’t need to know,” Aakesh expressionlessly responded. He then waved his hands as the inferior Sacred stone appeared in his hands.

It was an opaque stone that looked nothing more than an ordinary rock.

Time flew by.

After paying, Oxen left for the weapons room.

Before entering, Oxen had used Aakesh’s help to take a drop of blood out since he didn’t store a drop of his blood and his healing rate was way more quicker than the Immortals.

Aakesh didn’t have to do anything, but he instead asked the system to seal Oxen’s energy source. Oxen, at that moment, decided to remove the first option from their plans, and they would now only make friendly relations with him.

Someone who could so easily seal his energy source was never an opponent they could even dream of fighting.

As for the issue of Aakesh attacking them or the Primal dimension, they had their last option still left with them.

After storing several drops of his blood, Oxen asked Aakesh for unsealing. Except for one drop, he put all the remaining drops in a bottle for future use and then stored them in his pocket space.

Oxen then left for the weapons room.

“Hey, system, why not add a needle on every pillar for the use of customers,” Aakesh suggested to the system.

The blood wasn’t an issue for lower-level cultivators, but for Immortals, it was.

[Good suggestion, Host!]

The system responded positively.

The next moment, on all the 108 pillars, a tiny light appeared next to the imprinted symbol of the weapons.

When the light disappeared, a sharp needle appeared.

Oxen, who had just reached the first pillar in the weapons room, he couldn’t help but stand dumbfounded, seeing the needle.
