The Headmaster's eyes widened slightly as he watched. "This… This is remarkable." "It's called the Celestial Duel Platform," Grandmaster Lian explained. "It was developed by the mysterious store in Fanling City. The Divine Convenience Store. The same one I've been studying for the past few days." The Headmaster stroked his beard. "A fascinating use of illusion-based talismans. And this is a mere game?" Grandmaster Lian smiled. "Yes, but it has potential beyond just entertainment. Strategy, tactical thinking, resource management. It can refine a cultivator's ability to analyze battles without real-world risk. If we integrate this into our academy's training regimen, it could benefit the students tremendously." The Headmaster contemplated for a moment. "Looks like you've already thought it through. Can you tell me more about this store and its Shopkeeper?" Grandmaster Lian hesitated before answering. "The store is… a haven for convenience. I believe that's the most fitting description for it. As for the Shopkeeper… He's an enigma. I heard he and his store appeared out of nowhere, yet inventions and knowledge that surpass conventional understanding could be found within it. And although some would call it speculation, the Shopkeeper claimed that the store is backed by a slew of divine beings.." While there's no change in the Headmaster's expression, his silence signified him being deep in thought. After a long while, he said, "I will consider this. If it truly holds value, we may arrange a formal invitation for this Shopkeeper Lin." Grandmaster Lian wryly smiled. "I don't think that will be wise. Headmaster. A proper visit on our part should be done instead of inviting us here. After all, we're the ones who'll require his help." Upon saying that, the Headmaster let out a soft chuckle. He realized he was being naive. "Fair point, Grandmaster Lian. If this Shopkeeper Lin is as mysterious and influential as you claim then he would have little reason to entertain our invitation. Rather, we must approach him with sincerity. Show him that we can promote that product of his." "Very well. I'll make the necessary preparations. I will head the delegation to Fanling City myself and meet with the Shopkeeper of this Divine Convenience Store. Let's choose individuals, both professors like you and students, who can represent our academy well. Those who are insightful, diplomatic, and capable of comprehending the depths of the knowledge they may encounter." Grandmaster Lian was glad. Her proposal was accepted. She bowed, "Understood, Headmaster. As one of the first five Golden Patrons of the store, I will ensure we can get the Shopkeeper on a sitting table for discussion." In Grandmaster Jian's head, she's already thinking of making use of the Viewing Jade to leave another comment and get Lin Mo's attention. Her study of the talismans she bought could be set aside for now, she must move quickly to ensure that she'd get some kind of advantage when it comes to the Celestial Duel Platform's release. seaʀᴄh thё Novelƒire(.)ne*t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. The Headmaster nodded in approval. "Good. Our Red Lotus Academy will be in your care, Grandmaster Lian. The empty seat of the Vice Headmaster shall be given to you when the time comes. Be sure to learn as much as you can about the Shopkeeper himself. If he is truly backed by divine beings, then his presence in the region could mean much more than we currently understand. The whole kingdom won't be able to ignore such a mystical presence." Grandmaster Lian's expression turned serious. "I will do my best." With a final nod, she excused herself from the office and began visiting like-minded professors, Elders, and noble students who are leaders of their generation. — With the day about to start with another wave of customers waiting outside the Divine Convenience Store, Lin Mo was startled when the Divine System Interface flickered before his eyes, displaying what looked like an update about the manuals that were purchased from the store. The notifications were seemingly endless. But he read through it properly to understand its significance or why the interface thought of informing him of it. [Store Sales Update] - [Blossoming Lotus Breathing Technique] has become the Azure Gale Sect's standard breathing technique to goes hand in hand with their core cultivation and movement technique. May raise the demand for Energy Replenishing Pills and Candies. - [Stormcall Lightning Sutra] successfully assimilated by Lightning Amethyst Sect. Additional demand for Crushed Lightning Stone Powder and Lightning Array Formation Kits. - [Golden Sun Alchemy Method] adopted by Dawn Valley Sect.

City Lord Wei Xian acknowledges the store's influence and will continue giving it fair treatment. - [Scarlet Phantom Blade Art] accelerating disciple growth in Crimson Vale Sect. Potential high-value customer engagement. - [Thousand-Fire Convergence Array] was being studied by the White Ember Sect. High-level formation masters would be more interested in visiting and checking out the store. "Hmm. I see. This is new. It's another form of progress tracking, I guess?" Lin Mo muttered to himself, rubbing his chin as he continued reading the notifications. As he pondered his next steps, another chime rang in his head, displaying the day's Daily Tasks and some kind of new type of products as the Bundles for the threat against the Poison Demon Cult had already lulled with its sales. [Daily Tasks] [Repeat Customers: 0/50] [Earn 10 high-grade spirit stones in a single transaction: 0/10] [Sell five different products in a single transaction: 0/10] [Immortal-grade Products] - [Heavenly Mirage Illusion Orb] - A tool jointly created by the Goddess of Commerce and Harmony, God of Craft and Innovation and Master of Mystic Inscriptions. This is an immortal-grade artifact capable of creating large-scale illusionary battle simulations. It can also run the Celestial Duel Platform. Modernized to fit the Divine Convenience Store's theme. Ideal for sect training. (Starting Price: 50,000 high-grade spirit stones) - [Everlasting Spirit Fountain] - A spiritual energy recovery artifact that can be placed within sect grounds, enhancing cultivation speed. Made by Oracle of Biological Harmony and Innovator of Spiritual Mechanics. (Starting Price: 20,000 high-grade spirit stones) - [Boundless Knowledge Jade] - A rare item that allows instant comprehension of any single technique. A treasure of the Scholar of Cosmic Insights. (Starting Price: 30,000 high-grade spirit stones) "What the heck?" That's all Lin Mo could mutter as he saw that something appeared in the middle of the store. Three raised platforms each held a pedestal, and atop them sat the newly introduced Immortal-grade products. The Heavenly Mirage Illusion Orb floated gently as it shone with a soft, ethereal glow. Its spherical surface swirled with countless shifting illusions. The Everlasting Spirit Fountain radiated a calming energy in its surroundings. It was the biggest of the three. Its crystalline structure pulsed with condensed spiritual essence. And lastly, the Boundless Knowledge Jade sat in quiet grandeur. It looked ordinary at first but despite that, its weighty presence seemed to whisper the secrets of the world in the air. Lin Mo blinked at the unexpected additions. "What are those divine beings thinking about? They sent down immortal-grade artifacts like this. Are they asking someone to rob the store? And these 'starting prices'. Is it going to be auctioned out by us? But that's not what a Convenience Store does! We're not supposed to become an auction." "Ugh. Alright. A Convenience Store should also not have a multipurpose hall that can hold exhibition matches. But still… do they really want us to sell these?" Liu Xiaoyu, Xiao Ya, and even Yangyang who just stepped out of the Shopkeeper's Quarters stared at those immortal artifacts with wide eyes and fascination. "B-boss… I'm afraid someone will rob us at swordpoint again. Especially with products like that." Liu Xiaoyu gulped down as her eyes couldn't help but be drawn to the three artifacts. "Uhm… They're treasures, right?" Xiao Ya was mesmerized but her ignorance was surely bliss. "Shopkeeper Lin, why don't you check it? It's covered with a defensive formation. Not even a Heavenly Immortal can break through it." Yangyang's discerning eyes behind her glasses glinted softly as she stared at them. As someone who hailed from the Divine Pantheon, that kind of artifact was not a surprising sight for her. Lin Mo nodded. He approached the Heavenly Mirage Illusion Orb and tapped its surface lightly. And sure enough, there's something like a screen preventing him from picking it up. Then, a notification popped up in the corner of his eyes. [Shopkeeper's Privilege: Can unlock the divine-grade defensive formation and manage the immortal-grade products' accessibility. Restrict purchase options or set conditions as necessary through the Divine Interface System.] "I see. They put on a safeguard so only I can approach them. These must be exclusive limited products or treasures? I can set who can try and bid for it." Lin Mo muttered, feeling a headache forming. These divine beings were truly capricious. First, they dumped high-grade manuals into the store that changed the regional power balance and now they were treating his convenience store like some high-end luxury auction house right after Lihua's [Aura of Harmony] has expired!
