The First Store System

Chapter 1486: Trial of Power(8)

If Huo Jinglin knew about the thoughts of the man, he wouldn't even know what expression to make. Since when did beings at the Sacred Creator level need to earn a premium from sales?

He honestly followed the man and stopped in front of a large store. After entering the store, Huo Jinglin couldn't close his mouth.

The items he saw on the counter were the most valuable items of the Sacred Dimension. If he were to gift even one item to his father, his father would immediately reward him with the top position in the race.

"Master, I have brought a customer." The man humbly called out.

Huo Jinglin didn't know what to say at that moment, seeing a Sacred Creator make such an expression, but he became even more shocked the next moment.

After the man called out, there was no reaction from the store, so the man called out again. That time, his tone was even more humbling, and he also talked about the herb.

Whoosh!

The next moment, a small storm seemed to erupt in the store, but Huo Jinglin seemed to have seen his death in that small gust of wind.

"Huh!" The new arrival called out in confusion after sensing the danger Huo Jinglin was in. The man immediately acted, and the gust of wind disappeared.

Huo Jinglin wanted to thank him, but he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood and crashed to the ground.

Both the man and the store owner were taken aback by the sudden turnaround of the situation. Immediately after, the store owner's face turned pale since if anything happened to Huo Jinglin inside the store, he would not only lose his license but also need to pay a hefty fine to the city.

The store owner immediately snapped his finger, and a green light enveloped Huo Jinglin. Fortunately for the man, Huo Jinglin didn't have a serious injury. His mind was just overwhelmed by the powerful presence of the store owner, resulting in him falling into a coma.

In less than a moment, whatever injury his sea of consciousness had received, he recovered and opened his eyes.

"Are you alright?" The store owner breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Huo Jinglin opening his eyes and asked.

Huo Jinglin reflexively nodded since he was feeling better than ever at that moment. All the stress and injuries his body had been carrying before entering the store were completely recovered. It was nothing less than a rejuvenation for him.

"Sorry for making such a scene, senior." Huo Jinglin immediately stood up and apologized. He didn't even dare to guess the level of the store owner. Just from the man's presence, he could feel that his father wouldn't even be able to stand a chance against the man.

"As long as you are alright," The man waved his hands as if it were nothing.

"Do you want to sell the Frozen Acratic Nine-Ring herb?" The man then asked, looking at the locked box in Huo Jinglin's hands.

Huo Jinglin nodded and then handed the square box to the store owner to make a quotation. He didn't worry about making a loss since he wouldn't even mind gifting the herb after the rejuvenation he had received from the man.

"Experience Cores are too expensive," Huo Jinglin mumbled as he came out of the store and looked at the balance on his card.

From the store owner, he learned about the value of the Experience Core. Even a low Experience Core was extremely expensive, and Huo Jinglin would need to sell three herbs to get that.

Huo Jinglin sold the herb and purchased another item using it. It was the card in his hand, while the remaining sum was transferred to the card.

The card didn't only show his balance, but it also had a storage function, not only for items but also for energy. It was a necessary item to survive due to its growth feature. The card was automatically linked to the power level of the user, and the higher the level, the more features the card would have.

After coming out of the store, Huo Jinglin looked around, having no idea what to do. Fortunately for him, the masked figure appeared not far from him.

Immediately after, Huo Jinglin saw a shocking scene. Whoever was in the market, as soon as they saw the masked figure, immediately knelt, including the store owner.

Huo Jinglin couldn't help but marvel at the scene and also feel shocked since he had still underestimated the strength of the masked figure. Since only Huo Jinglin wasn't kneeling, he immediately became the center of the focus.

The masked figure had a clear identity, and she would only appear when a challenger would appear in the trial of power. Since Huo Jinglin wasn't kneeling and the masked figure had appeared, it became clear what power Huo Jinglin held.

The store owner couldn't help but turn pale when he recognized Huo Jinglin as the challenger. If Huo Jinglin hadn't recovered in his store, his end would have been terrible.

The challenger had ultimate status in the city since the trial was designed for them, and the trial would choose them, not the other way.

The masked figure didn't want to waste her time, so she immediately waved her hands. The next moment, she and Huo Jinglin disappeared from the market and appeared before a basic villa.

"This is your residence. Everything you need to know is waiting for you inside." The masked figure finally opened her mouth.

Huo Jinglin felt ice crawling through his body when he heard the chill in the masked figure's voice. It was hoarse and cold like ice. But knowing the power difference, he immediately nodded.

The masked figure didn't waste any time and then disappeared, leaving Huo Jinglin and the residence alone.

Since Huo Jinglin's mind was light due to the store owner's treatment, he smiled and then entered his new residence. The card he had purchased from the store was the key.
