The First Store System

Philips ignored the girl’s action and focused on the task he had come here for. With a mixture of nervous and excited expressions, Philips raised his right hand and put it in the space inside the shelf.

The next moment, Philips’s face turned into disappointment as he looked at the details of the cultivation art in his hands.

[Name: The Art of Cultivation,

Grade: Immortal,

Detail: The art teaches the user how to cultivate. It helps the cultivator have an all-round growth,

Price: Thirty billion supreme Primal stones.]

Philips only shook his head disappointedly as he took out the most basic Immortal grade cultivation art from the shelf on his first try. Since the store didn’t allow customers only to buy the cultivation art they took out in their first turn from the shelf, Philips put the Art of Cultivation back inside the counter. He then took out another page from it.

Philips took a glance at it. Since he couldn’t sense anything extraordinary, nor did his intuition act with the cultivation art, he put it back inside the shelf and took out another page from it.

Similar to the last two times, Philips’s luck was the same. He got another cultivation art that he had no use for in this situation. Philips didn’t get disappointed as it was only valid for his first entry. Without wasting even a moment, he repeated the same process as his hand came out with it holding a new page.

Time flew by, and around an hour had passed in the blink of an eye.

Philips still was searching for a cultivation art as he had been unable to find one. During the last hour, Philips had come across three cultivation arts that forced him not to continue further. But at the same time, his intuition had also nudged him to continue repeating the process. The time to stop hadn’t arrived yet.

Philips trusted his intuition and continued further without wasting even a moment. But since his intuition couldn’t always be correct, Philips still had those three pages in his hands. He decided not to give up on them yet, and wait since anything could happen. He could have been wrong, and one of the three might turn out to be a cultivation art that could help him resolve his problem.

At the same time, a worry had also risen in Philips’s heart since all three cultivation arts cost more than five hundred billion supreme Primal stones. The most expensive of the three was priced at an outrageous amount of seven hundred eighty-five billion, nine hundred million, seven hundred forty thousand supreme Primal stones.

Philips had a wealth of around nine hundred billion supreme Primal stones, and he had gotten that much money after selling every item he had except for the bow he used. If he got a cultivation art that would help him resolve his issue, but if its price breached that mark, then all of this would be for nothing.

After seeing the store owner, not even the thought of stealing rose in his heart, let alone when the store freely sold every cultivation art in the existence of the Primal dimension without fear of anyone.

With worry in his heart, Philips continued searching for the destined cultivation art.

***

Lilith had been searching for a cultivation art for the last two days without stopping. She also noticed Philips. Except for her, Philips was the only person who was taking out cultivation art from the shelf and then putting it back inside not long after.

Lilith had taken out and checked tens of thousands of cultivation arts in the hour the man had appeared near her. The man couldn’t compare to Lilith’s speed, but he had also reached a number of few thousand. Lilith then ignored the man since she also had a lot on her plate. She then got busy in her attempt to prove her intuition correct.

“Hello, store owner,” Another new customer entered the store today. It was a man who looked to be in his twenties.

In spite of the absence of light, the man’s blond hair glistened like the sun. At the same time, his eyes were even more golden and looked like the sun itself.

The man’s ears and nose were pointy, like the tip of a needle. It wouldn’t be any wrong if the man succeeded in winning a beauty contest solely reserved for females.

The man belonged to the Sun Elf. Sun Elf wasn’t the same as the Sunlight Elf. If the Sun Elf was the tree, then Sunlight Elf was one of its branches.

The Sunlight Elf race developed when one of the lower blood Sun Elves procreated with someone out of the Elvish group of races.

Sun Elves had already disappeared from the Primal dimension a long time ago, so the appearance of one of its members was no less than a surprise for those who remembered their legend.

The Sun Elves didn’t go extinct, but every last of their member had ascended to the Sacred dimension countless years ago, marking their disappearance from here. This event happened even before the arrival of Hygars, so only a few people knew their legend.

When Sun Elves lived in the Primal dimension, they were also one of the overlords here. The Sun Elf had an extraordinary origin story.

-n、o、ve,l It wasn’t a hidden fact that Elves were an artificial race created by the Primordial creature, World Tree. Anyone can find out if they had contact with some high-level cultivators across the Primal and Sacred dimensions.

The Sun Elves were one of the Elvish races that were the direct creation of the World Tree. Since it wasn’t as strong as a few other groups of direct Elves races, it took birth in the Primal dimension and not the Sacred dimension.

Despite the Sun Elves not being the most talented of the bunch, it was still a race created by the World Tree. So, it didn’t take long for the race to reach a level where they could ascend to the Sacred dimension.

After their ascendance countless years ago, the arrival of the man marked the first sighting of a Sun Elf in those innumerable years of their ascendance.
