Online Cultivator

Pil

After putting the Spirit Fruit into her spatial ring, Yusri and the others followed Lady Feli to the fourth floor, where fewer storefronts were available.

"What kind of pill is this?" Angel suddenly asked after seeing the reddish pill in the display case, as she could not imagine how a single pill could cost hundreds of millions of gold coins.

"It was a Spirit Progress Pill that could increase the cultivation base of any Cultivator before the Spirit Master realm by the entire realm - so nine levels." Madam Feli explained to her.

"All nature?! So I can reach Spirit Warrior realm now if I swallow it?" Angel asked, her voice filled with shock.

"really. However, you can only consume one of these in your life, so most people will consume it in the first level Spirit Warrior realm so that they can become Spirit Masters instantly."

"Wow... How much does one of these cost?" Yusri asked afterwards.

"650 million gold coins," Madam Feli replied with a smile on her face.

"650 million?!" Jaw Yusri falls. It didn't take much effort or money for him to reach the fifth level Spirit Warrior realm, so that ridiculous price seemed unjustified in his eyes.

However, for the majority of Cultivators in this world who needed months and even years of effort for a single breakthrough, if they could potentially save years of their lives with a single pill, it would be impossible for them to save years of their lives, The Spirit Progress Pill was worth every penny if they could afford it.

After walking around in circles around the fourth floor, Lady Feli led them to the fifth floor, where only seven items were sold.

"Everything here is worth over 1 billion gold coins...? I wonder what you can do with the amount of money in this world..." Angel mumbling.

"Although a billion gold coins might seem like a lot, it's actually not as much as you think. The average sect would earn and spend tens of millions of gold coins a month, while the larger ones spent hundreds of millions of gold coins every month." Madam Feli said.

"But that's for the entire sect with thousands of people, right? I can't imagine someone spending so much money on a single individual" Angel shook her head.

"If you're talented enough, people will be willing to spend as much resources as they need. You'd be surprised by how much resources rich families spend on their most talented children." Madam Feli said with a smile on her face.

"Let's take this Golden Spirit Sutra as an example. This Golden Spirit Sutra was an extremely important ingredient for an extremely rare and powerful pill that would permanently increase an individual's cultivation speed. If you have a very talented individual in your family and enough money, are you willing to spend it for this person, who will definitely be a great figure in the future and earn more than you spend? There really isn't much of a difference between investing in a business hoping for a good return and investing in individuals hoping to maximize their growth."

"Investing in someone's future, huh?" Angel turns to look at Yusri, who is considered one of the most gifted child prodigies in history, and how much their family has invested in him before he becomes paralyzed.

"Do you know of a potion called the Seven Color Potion? How much do you think one of them costs?" Yusri suddenly asked him, who looked very experienced in the price of treasure.

"Seven Colorful Potions? Well that treasure everyone with a shop in the Golden Phoenix Bazaar would covet even though they probably wouldn't try to sell it. If I had it now, it would be placed on the sixth floor, as they were extremely rare and priceless."

"Priceless, yes..." Yusri.

"..."

Seeing her reaction, Madam Feli narrowed her eyes at him, wondering if she had a Seven-colored Potion.

"After all, let's continue the tour." Madam Feli said a moment later, and they returned to look at the storefront while Lady Feli explained to them the history and value for each of these treasures that were worth over a billion gold coins.

Some time later, Lady Feli brought Yusri and the others to the top floor of the building.

"There are only 3 items on this floor?" Yusri muttered after seeing three thick storefronts that were perfectly spaced away from each other. However, unlike previous transparent storefronts, these storefronts were completely black, resembling extreme colored glasses.

"This display box is protected by a powerful formation that can even block attacks from Spirit Grandmasters like me," Madam Feli told them.

Then he flicked his finger, and one of the storefronts suddenly became transparent again, allowing them to see the items inside.

"Is that... Is that a heart?" Yusri asked in a confused voice after seeing a red throbbing object that resembled a beating heart.

"It's still beating!" Angel exclaims.

"Although it looks like this and is very similar to a heart, it is actually a Monster Core that once belonged to an extremely frightening magical beast in the Spirit Grandmaster realm," Madam Feli said.

"A monster core?! This beating thing?!" Yusri's jaw fell, as this was the first time he had seen such a unique-looking monster core. Even though he could eat a normal monster core without batting an eye, he would definitely have trouble putting something this disgusting into his mouth.

"The Demon Spirit Grandmaster beast is a special existence that has demonic blood flowing in its veins, therefore why its monster core looks like this." Madam Feli said.

"The demon? How are they different from magical beasts?" Yusri asked.

"I understand..." Yusri.

"Well, you won't find any demons in Lower Heaven, because they are usually too powerful to be here." Madam Feli said a moment later.

"Let's move on to the next item. I have a feeling that you're gonna like it a lot."

After flicking his finger, the second storefront revealed itself.

"This is.. sword?" Yusri saw the beautiful yet fierce-looking sword in the long window display with admiration, and his hand quickly became itchy, as he had a strong urge to hold the sword.

"This is not your usual treasure—ini is a Soul Weapon," Madam Feli said with a smile on her face. "And it's called Empyrean Overlord."

"Soul Weapon?" Yusri became even more interested after hearing that.

"Hm? Don't you also have a Soul Weapon, brother?" Angel suddenly remembered.

"Eh?" Mistress Feli looked at Yusri with wide eyes filled with surprise.

"Y-You also have a Soul Weapon? If you don't mind, can I see it?" he asked her a moment later in a trembling voice.

"certain." Yusri nodded and picked up the Starry Abyss in the next second.

"Looky! This is the first time I have met another individual with a Soul Weapon!" Madam Feli exclaimed, and she continued, "If you don't mind me asking, where did you get this beauty from?"

"It was given to me by some people I helped" he said in a calm voice.

"I-It was given to you...?" Madam Feli muttered in a trembling voice with a dazed expression on her pretty face, wondering what kind of person would give a Soul Weapon just because they had been helped by it?

"What about you? Where did you get this sword?" Yusri then asked him.

"I found this baby inside the Inheritance Tomb of some powerful Cultivators five hundred years ago," Madam Feli said with a nostalgic feeling around her.

"inheritance TOMBS? What'sthat?" Yusri tilted his head.

"They are basically the graves of Cultivators, Brother Yusri. When a strong Cultivator was about to die but they wanted to pass down their heritage, they would create this area to challenge those who wanted to achieve their heritage, he said, and whoever passes the challenge will get all the Cultivator's wealth" Melia explained to him.

"I'm more interested in how long have you found it. 500 years? Did Cultivators really live that long?" Angel said to Madame Feli with a dazed expression on her face, as she could not even imagine life past 150, let alone 500.

"Yes, most Cultivators at the Spirit Grandmaster realm can live up to 1,000 years," Madam Feli told him.

"1,000 years? Then what about the Spirit King?" Angel asked while looking over to see Melia.

"..." - ".Melia's brows instantly twitched, as she understood Angel's intention to ask such a question.

"I'm not so sure, but they should have a longevity of at least 10,000 years..." Madam Feli replied with a plain face.

"10,000 years?!" Angel's jaw dropped, and her curiosity about Melia's age intensified.

"After all, even though I managed to obtain this Soul Weapon, I was unable to use it, as it would not recognize me as its owner no matter what I did." Madam Feli sighed afterwards.

"That won't recognize you...?" Yusri muttered with a deep expression on his face.

When Melia saw this, she turned to look at Lady Feli before asking him, "Since the Soul Weapon is on display in this shop, you are willing to sell it, right?"

Hearing her question, Madam Feli immediately nodded, "T-That's right! In fact, I mostly want to exchange it for something of similar value.. if you don't mind..."

Madam Feli spoke in a quiet voice, as her fear towards Melia was still lingering in her heart.

Meanwhile, Yusri was staring at Melia whose intentions were clear as day with a shocked face, clearly speechless.
