The First Store System

Chapter 929: First-grade lesser Mind Expansion Pill(2)

"Store owner, can the first-grade lesser Mind Expansion Pill help someone who is on the verge of breaking through to the Divine Lord?"

Garos wanted to be sure before making a purchase because the pill wasn't inexpensive. It cost two hundred lesser Sacred stones.

"Yes," Aakesh replied.

During the thirty-second effect of the pill, the mind would be devoid of any thoughts. The chances of gaining epiphany would also increase. If Elera was lucky, she could even gain epiphany only after eating one pill and then breaking the boundary that stopped her from proceeding.

Garos' eyes contained joy after hearing Aakesh, and at that time, his eyes fell on the card machine.

Like the previous three customers, Garos made the same assumption and asked Aakesh about it.

​ "You need to pay six hundred lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh said after taking three pills out from the tenth shelf.

Garos' face contained no smile as he took out the Sacred stones from his inner world and handed them over to Aakesh.

"Why is your face looking weird?" Elera asked Garos with a surprised tone after he came to the waiting corner.

A wry smile appeared on Garos' face as he told Elera about the three store cards. "Every time I come here, I see how minuscule I am," Garos added humorlessly.

Elera was too shocked to care about Garos' reaction at that moment.

Customers were not particularly shocked by the high cost of the cards. What astounded them was the ability of the store to have a product that was so expensive. Somewhere in their hearts, they were also grateful that the store owner opened his store here and not in some high-level wealthy area.
Soon after Garos calmed down, he told Elera about the Mind Expansion Pills and handed them over.

Elera looked shocked and excited as she took the pills from her husband's hands. For the cultivators of Thorr City, the Divine Lord level was like the sky. Until they reached that level, they were living as lower strata of society.

"Should I take it here?" Elera asked Aakesh as she couldn't wait, but at the same time, she had no idea how the store owner would respond if she somehow achieved the breakthrough.

"I had my breakthrough here. The store owner didn't seem to have any issue with that," Garos replied since he could see what was going on inside the head of his wife.


Elera then didn't waste any second and gently placed the pill in her mouth. It melted immediately, and soon it reached her brain.

A cooling sensation washed over her as her eyes turned calm, and she began meditating.

Thirty seconds passed in a flash. Elera opened her eyes, and there was disappointment in them.

She missed the comfortable feeling that the pill was producing, and in addition, she didn't cross the line.

Elera didn't immediately eat the second pill. She took several deep breaths as she relaxed her body. Even though the pill would clear and calm the mind, that didn't mean relaxing before was a bad idea.

Around a minute later, Elera took the second pill and placed it in her mouth. Similar to the first pill, it melted immediately, and soon a cooling sensation washed through her. Her mind was clear like never before. Only the thought of seeing the line stopping her from breaking through remained in her mind.

Thirty seconds were neither long nor short for a cultivator. As the pill's effect disappeared, Elera's eyes opened.

The disappointment was there, but clearly, something had changed. A smile had also spread across Elera's face.

Elera then again repeated the process of relaxing herself, and again a minute later, she placed the third pill in her mouth.

"You need to pay six hundred lesser Sacred stones," Aakesh said to Elera after taking three pills from the tenth shelf.

Elera nodded before moving the already-taken stones in Aakesh's direction.

"Thank you, store owner," Elera thanked Aakesh and then turned around toward the waiting corner. Her tone sounded unnatural, but since Aakesh didn't care, he didn't think about it.

Even though Elera failed to break through to the next level, the first three Mind Expansion Pills helped her see the boundary stopping her from going ahead. For the Divine Being cultivators, the attainment of the Divine Lord represented a sublimation of life.

It was also a sublimation of energy because the inner world of the Divine Lord cultivators would become fit to give life to living things.

***

Elera sat down in her meditative posture and relaxed her mind and body. She took several deep breaths after that. Garos didn't interrupt her even once and only silently watched her.

After Elera felt that her mindset had reached the level she wanted, she took the first of the three pills and placed it in her mouth.

BOOM!

Elera felt a boom in her head as the pill's effect began working. She had already seen the boundary stopping her, so soon after the pill worked, she attacked that boundary.

Seeing the boundary was easy, but breaking it wasn't. Out of a thousand peak Divine Being cultivators, not even one might achieve the Divine Lord level, so it wasn't an easy effort.

Time flew by, and soon it was the turn of the last pill.

Elera took longer to begin the process this time, as it was the last pill for today and also because her mental strength wasn't at its peak.

As Elera placed the pill in her mouth, it melted into energy and flew toward her brain. The next moment, a cooling sensation washed over her body.

Only three of the thirty seconds had passed when the aura around Elera changed. Even Garos, who was sitting next to her, felt a cool breeze pecking at him. An excited expression covered his face as Elera gained an epiphany.

Her chances of breaking through to the next level were now almost 100 percent.

Garos' expression changed abruptly as he felt the cold air pecking him vanish.

The system acted quickly after Elera gained her epiphany so as not to bother other customers. At that moment, Elera was in another space, while in her mind, an unprecedented wave of energy was flowing toward the wall like a raging tide.
