Chereads / Peak Cultivator's Slice of Life / Chapter 12 - Shopping

Chapter 12 - Shopping

The shop Asher entered sold cultivation-related things, from resources to artifacts and weapons.

All things could be found in this shop and perhaps the entire Sacred Silk Realm, nothing was more complete than this shop. They even sold 3rd Stage Weapons and Artifacts as the most expensive items and countless secret techniques and insights from many Daos.

The size of the shop itself was the size of a small world where items were neatly arranged on tables or cabinets.

Its visitors could not be counted yet even if they were giants who could not shrink their bodies, within the shop, their bodies still shrank forcibly.

All the treasures within this shop were probably just useless piles of sand given Asher's strength, yet Yi Mingxue, as a 2nd Stage Great Paragon, still felt that there were too many precious treasures, especially the three items placed on the large table at the highest place within the shop.

They emitted such a suppressive aura that those who gazed at them became amazed.

One was a blue-colored long staff whose aura was so cold that staring at it made people feel like they had suddenly appeared in a world of boundless ice.

Then there was a small knife whose sharpness could be felt even from afar.

However, the most alluring was a silver armor that seemed to be able to be used by men or women as it would adjust to the user's body shape.

The armor had gems of various colors and each seemed to represent a peak element.

(War Knight Armor!) That was its name and underneath was its description and price.

It was made from the walls of the Sacred Silk Realm where the three Emperors of this country worked together to refine it into an armor and it took them 1 trillion years, spending countless treasures.

It was also only a 3rd Stage Artifact, just like that knife and staff.

However, whether the knife or the staff, the price was only 200 Billion Paragon Crystals.

On the other hand, that armor had a price of 2 Trillion Paragon Crystals.

This was such a high price that even an Emperor could not afford it.

Of course, it was worth the price because when using it, a 2nd Stage Great Paragon was guaranteed to upgrade all aspects of himself to the 3rd Stage.

He would instantly be on par with a 3rd Stage Great Paragon, becoming an all-around superior Great Paragon King that even the True Flame Emperor could not kill.

Most importantly, it was suitable for all types of Dao so people didn't have to wonder if it could be used by them

Yi Mingxue's eyes flickered at the sight of the armor, clearly fascinated.

Unfortunately, the price made it difficult for her to breathe.

She was still too young. Even after controlling quite a large territory, the Paragon Crystals she collected other than the ones she used were not up to 1 Billion Paragon Crystals.

Collecting over a long period of time was also difficult because there would always be times where he would spend a lot of Paragon Crystals.

"Do you want that armor?" Asher asked as she continued to stare at the armor.

Yi Mingxue gasped in shock, staring at her teacher in disbelief.

At the same time, a beautiful woman with a long elegant dress and her hair in a neat bun came towards them.

She had a profound aura, all the shop servants saluted her the moment they saw her.

True Flame Princess, she was the most talented daughter of the True Flame Emperor and also mastered the Dao of Fire and Dao of Sun but only up to the 2nd Stage.

Of course, she was also an above average Great Paragon King.

It was said that the business management of the True Flame Country was controlled by her.

In addition to having special status and strength, she was also an expert in organizing people.

For true experts who came to this store, they would naturally be served by one of the store's higher-ups.

Depending on who came, the elder who served them would have greater power.

Normally, there weren't many experts in the Sacred Silk Realm who could get the True Flame Princess to personally serve them. Even Yi Mingxue was not qualified.

However, this time she actually came out, which made the servants curious as to who the man who came with Yi Mingxue was.

They recognized the latter but they were already used to seeing big personalities so they were not so impressed anymore to see him.

Only, the man who came with her was definitely unusual as their big boss kept looking at him seriously.

When she looked at Yi Mingxue, she only looked at her briefly and just nodded lightly.

"Sir, Lady Yi," she told them after she stopped in front of them.

Asher's name or title was not yet known by anyone, so the True Flame Princess was also at a loss as to what to call him, only being able to address him with the word lord.

Actually like Yi Mingxue not having a title also made it a bit difficult for her since all top experts had a culture of addressing each other with titles.

"You can call me the Night Sky Paragon..." Asher didn't want to make things difficult for others, so he directly said his title without being asked.

His cultivation was now a Paragon, naturally he couldn't use the word Progenitor. It was only in the void out there.

"Night Sky Paragon Master..." The True Flame Princess finally called out his title, adding the word master as a sign of respect.

"Is there anything you want to buy?" She then asked.

Yi Mingxue had clearly come to accompany her master, so she didn't ask her about it.

And right now, she was looking at him curiously, wanting to know what her master wanted to buy.

"There are many things I want to buy, I just want to know if this shop has all the things I want," he said.

"Ohhh..." The True Flame Princess seemed surprised by what she heard.

"We practically have all the items including the rare ones, the Night Sky Paragon Master just needs to mention them all and I will prepare them," she said with a faint smile.

She had a hunch that they would make a lot of profit today, so her heart became somewhat palpitating.

The Paragon Crystal was very important to them and they needed more to prepare for when the Sacred Silk Palace opened.

It was the most precious place in this realm, left behind by the Void Masters who built this world.

It contained many cultivation methods and secret techniques including various types of extremely precious treasures.

Every time it opened, the Great Paragons went crazy to enter it.

War was always inevitable as even the Emperors would go berserk.

Having more Paragon Crystals meant one could fight more uncontrollably as they could replenish their energy in no time.

"This is hard to say," Asher replied. "Let me go around while you collect the items..."

The problem of naming items was something easy no matter how many it was. However, the difference in the world often made the names of items different.

If he used the names he knew, perhaps the True Flame Princess wouldn't know what he wanted.

The woman nodded at what he said, then invited him to go around.

"I will accompany you," she said.

Asher began to walk around the shop, attracting many stares from the Great Paragons who happened to be shopping in this shop.

Most experts below the Great Paragons did not recognize him because they had not seen his battle, only the Great Paragons had seen him.

Although he was indeed unique, that he was accompanied directly by the Princess would surprise them so they thought again about what kind of cultivator he was.

On the other hand, he went to a large table where there were many pieces of monster bodies that still emitted an extraordinary aura, indicating that they were from Great Paragon Level Monsters.

Hearts, scales, wing pieces, feathers of various colors, and many more.

For Dao Cultivators, these items could help their understanding by observing the manifestations of Dao attached to them.

Of course, since they were still full of energy, they could also be used for various things such as forming special bodies that enhanced defense.

Asher only looked at the body parts that had residual souls, which were one level more expensive.

"I want all the body parts that still have souls left," he said to the True Flame Princess.

"However, this is too little. You guys must have a lot of stock stored up, I'll buy them all, how much is it?" He casually asked.

True Flame Princess' eyes flicked up when she heard that.

She couldn't help but ask, "do you really want all of them? As you know, our number of Great Paragons is the largest and we are always on the hunt for Great Paragon-level monsters that appear in harsh regions. Just pieces of their bodies with souls remaining, they are so numerous that if converted into Paragon Crystals, their value could reach 200 Billion Paragon Crystals. We never thought of being able to sell them all in a short period of time."

To her, those pieces of bodies with souls were no longer so valuable to the Great Paragons.

To Ordinary Paragons, they were still very valuable, but this man was a strange Paragon who possessed the strength of a 2nd Stage Great Paragon.

Besides, who would be foolish enough to use 200 Billion Paragon Crystals to buy so many such items? Better to buy a 3rd Stage Weapon.

In response, Asher casually tossed a storage ring to the woman.

She took it and examined it only to see a pile of Paragon Crystals. They really amounted to 200 Billion.

Shock could not help but appear on her face.

She thought, 'is this Night Sky Paragon so rich? Where did he find so many Paragon Crystals?'

Little did she know that in some areas of the void, Paragon Crystals were almost like piles of sand in a boundless desert.

A Void Master's weak avatar could wander randomly in the void and come back with enough Paragon Crystals to fill a Great Universe.

Unfortunately, those things were useless to them.

At the same time, the True Flame Princess became very excited.

"Wait a moment, I'll get all the body parts we saved," she said.

After which, she gathered the body pieces on the table.

After the time it took to touch a cup of tea, a shop assistant came over to her, handing her a storage ring.

She then handed the ring to Asher after transferring all the body parts from them into the ring.

"Master Paragon, please take a look," she said.

Asher received the ring, looking at it for a moment while nodding lightly.

"I still want more," he said, taking a step to another table.

The True Flame Princess followed him quickly, wondering how many more Paragon Crystals he would use for shopping.

With transactions reaching this level, it was indeed necessary that she herself serve the buyers regardless of their strength.
