Liang No stared in bewilderment at the figure in front of him, but he couldn't stop hiccuping. This immediately made him so scared of what the seemingly powerful figure in front of him would do for such disrespect, but to his surprise, nothing came out of it. The golden-robed man just waited without saying a word until he stopped.

"Ah...uhhh....I apologize for my rudeness." said Liang No as he cupped his hands in respect, but the figure in front of him didn't say anything. This made him think that the senior in front of him didn't acknowledge him and was prepared to kneel in forgiveness, but he stopped as the figure disappeared from it's spot and appeared in front of him.

"Uhhhh....

Liang No was scared and took a step back, resulting in laughter from the golden-robed man."Hahaha, don't worry, don't worry, I won't harm you in any way. "

"But... but of course, senior. " said Liang No with a strained smile, but inside he was panicking as he was scared sober ' Fuck, shit, what the hell is going on?! Who is this man, and what does he want with me?! That speed, that speed that none of my senses could even register.... means that this figure is whole cultivation realms above me. If he so wished.....'

That though brought shivers through Liang No's spine, so he stopped thinking about it.

"Hehe, sorry for scaring you....."

" Ah, my name is Liang No senior. I'm just a little cultivator without any attachments to any organization and usually only do some escorting job's for the clan's around here.

And , may I know seniors name?" said Liang No somewhat relived. If the person I'm front of him was courteous enough to ask for his name, then his intentions couldn't be as bad as he previously though.

"Oh, so that's your name....hmmmm..... not a bad name. Fine, you shall be ellegiable to enter the first level of this place then!" suddenly said the golden-robed man as his voice reverberated all around .This left Liang No frozen in place as he thought he was about to die.

*Babum Babum Babum*

His heart raced through his chest as he suddenly started to sweat all over, and his legs tingled. He knew, he knew very well what this feeling was as he had felt it multiple times in his life.

' This, this is, what..... what a monster.' thought Liang No as he clenched his jaw slightly.' He completely destroyed my fighting spirit with only a single shout.....I can't imagine what he could do if he was serious.'

"Liang No, today is your lucky that brought you here. Come......" said the golden-robed man as he headed back inside. Liang No who was now sober took a good look at his surroundings and found out he couldn't see anything but a white mist past 5 m from his position.

' It seems that there is no running for me. Heh, that though is really a joke at this point....

And so, after he steeled his resolve, Liang No followed the figure and entered inside the building. As soon as he did that his surroundings completely disappeared and he was left in complete darkness, but only a second after a glowing road appeared below his feet.

"Senior?" called out Liang No, but no answer came even after a minute. Realizing that he had to take the first step on the light road as he didn't see any other options, he closed his eyes and stepped in the ground.

Gradually he opened his eyes as he saw that nothing had happened 'I'm fine....so I guess that I should continue.' And continue he did. Liang No followed the unknown light path to his unknown destination , but as he walked on that road images of things appeared in his vicinity. There appeared images of gigantic swords falling down like meteors, gigantic erupting volcanoes that covered the sun with their ash, tidal floods that could easily wash over North Blue Mountain City, gigantic beast the fought tooth and nail, and trees that were tens of kilometers tall that easily pushed themselves over the clouds, repeatedly beeing baptized by arcing purple lightning.

Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.

All these images made Liang No feel like and insignificant little ant in the face of true power. He and many other cultivators like him, weak or strong boosted how what they did was going against the will of the heavens, but no he understood that it was just boosting to an empty room. The raw and destructive power he was repeatedly witnessing with his own eyes made him humbled to tears.

' I was such a fool, a frog in a well that sung praise to himself. Now I know, now I understand the true meaning of those words we cultivators boost about....now I understand the meaning of true power!'

...............

As Liang No revealed in his new understandings, Rex snickered as he saw his first customer doing donuts on the first floor, completely under his illusion formation.

'Haha, seeing him like this is so funny, but I think that this is enough. I don't want to deplete the Qi stored in the formation flags......

With a snap of his fingers, the illusions surrounding Liang No disappeared and a golden staircase appeared instead. Liang No this time didn't hesitate at all and ascended those stairs , a gut feeling telling him he would finally arrive at his destination, and he was right. As soon as he passed the last step he entered a fairly big room that held some shelves , and on those shelves were treasures.

"Thiiss....aaaaaa......

Liang No could feel the Qi emanating from all the things on the shelves, although it wasn't that dense. Still , taking into consideration the quantity of the items it was safe to estimate the he wouldn't be able to by everything here even if he worked his escort job for a hundred more years.

As Liang No approached to see the items closer , a voice came from his back."Heh, surprised at what you're seeing?"

"Ah....

Liang No immediately turned back , saw that the golden-robed man just standing there and immediately clasped his hands with newfound respect."Great senior, I , Liang No am forever indebted to you for the enlightenment you have bestowed upon me. Even though I'm an insignificant little being in your eyes.....if you need anything....I shall do what I can."

Rex looked at the serious face of Liang No and could only speak two words. "Yeah....sure.....

"Senior!"

After an awkward moment of silence Rex spoke once again.

"Liang No, it's your destiny that you have come here and also your good fortune. You now have the opportunity to by anything that resides in the first level of my shop....so I suggest that you don't waste it."

Liang No took a look at his surroundings and he appeared confused "Senior....I apologize, but I don't understand what you mean."

"Hehe" smiled Rex " I don't need to explain anything anymore. Just go take a look at the shelves."

Liang No not wanting to earn the ire of the man in front of him nodded his head and did as Rex said. He first went to the leftmost shelf and saw that in it were different ceramic bottles, and below them was written something. He focused on one of the bottles and read the text below it.

'Yellow Grade , Fire-Lotus medical paste.

Greatly helps with burns and even has the effect to remove volatile Fire Qi. It also has a beautifying effect and can help moisture the skin.'

After he red the first one he continued to read the others.

' Yellow Grade Fasting Pills.

Greatly helps reduce your hunger and keeps your vitality up. In comparison to normal tasteless Fasting Pills , it has a very delicious flavour......

Yellow Grade, Recovery Pill.

Greatly increase the body's ability to heal and even has a all detoxifying effect.

Yellow Grade.....

Yellow Grade.....

Liang No continued to read the description of the ceramic bottles in a stupor and he didn't know when he finished reading all of them.

"This.... senior.... are you a medicine master?" said Liang No without turning his back. He was so surprised at the variety of the medicine in front of him. He guessed that even the apprentice of a medicine master hadn't seen such variety of medicinal pills and pastes in one place.

"Haha" Rex smiled "You could say that, but that doesn't matter to you. So, have you decided what do you want to by?"

"Uhhh....I have." said Liang No a little embarrassed" I have , but I don't know what this Qi-En stated in the description is. Is it a type of currency not used in this continent?"

As he heard those words Rex shook his head. " No, of course not. Qi-En is just a measurement of a certain amount of pure Qi. For example, this gem holds the same amount as 1 Qi-En." said Rex as a small, less than 1 cm in diameter white gem appeared in his right hand. He then threw the gem at Liang No who caught it without thinking twice, and as soon as he did, he was amazed.

' What a pure Qi! It's like I'm sensing a thing that shouldn't exist.' thought Liang No as he clenched the gem in his hand, but soon enough he realized he was beeing rude.

"Senior,forgive my rudeness, but I don't have any Qi stones with this kind of pure Qi. The only stone I have..... is a low quality Qi stone."

" It doesn't matter." immediately answered Rex as he knew he had this in the bag" I can easily extract the pure Qi from anything that contains some type of Qi, so anything holding Immortal Qi can he used to pay for something. Hehe , of course the quality of the Qi is also relevant."

Liang No lowered his head to look at the pure Qi swirling in the gem he was holding and couldn't help but feel luck was finally shinning upon him.
