115: Universal Spiritual Cultivation Method

Moreover, Chenyang Pet Store in the Illusion World had another advantage: it didn't require any service staff. An AI in the Illusion World could handle all service issues.

After all, the Illusion World wasn't real, so there were no security concerns.

The announcement for Chenyang Pet Store's opening was released on the evening of August 6th.

After 8 AM on August 7th, Chenyang Pet Store in the Illusion World allowed strangers to enter.

As soon as entry was permitted, a large number of customers appeared in the store.

Some customers entered through the main door from the street outside, while others directly teleported into the store from other locations.

Soon, the number of people inside the store reached its capacity. Fortunately, the store manager in the Illusion World directly chose to divert the flow.

The subsequent customers were diverted to the 'clone' stores of Chenyang Pet Store.

This was equivalent to distributing all customers into different servers, allowing for a greater number of customers.

So, although there were many customers in the store now, it was still a reasonable maximum, and it didn't feel particularly crowded.

This ensured a good customer experience.

Early in the morning, Chang Guiheng also entered this store, opened by his friend far away in Qingyang City.

Avoiding others, Chang Guiheng discovered many Spirit Affinities he had never seen before.

After looking at each of the Spirit Affinities, Guiheng felt his hands itching. What should he do if he wanted to buy one?

He suddenly felt that Luo Chen's rule, limiting each Beast Master to bidding on a maximum of three Spirit Affinities, was specifically targeting him.

Luo Chen, who was on the second floor of Chenyang Pet Store in the Illusion World, watching real-time images from the twenty-odd clone stores, was reminded by the butler assistant,

"Your friend Chang Guiheng has sent a new message. Please check it."

Luo Chen brought up the panel representing his contact list, then clicked on Chang Guiheng's avatar, a little puzzled why he would suddenly send him a message.

[Chang Guiheng: A Chen, as your friend, shouldn't I get some discount when buying Spirit Affinities? For example, being able to bid on two more?]

Luo Chen looked at his message, feeling a mix of amusement and exasperation. So that was why.

[Luo Chen: I'll invite you over in a moment, let's talk in person.]

Then Luo Chen sent an invitation to Chang Guiheng, inviting him into this Chenyang Pet Store, which had no other customers.

Luo Chen went to the first-floor lounge and sat down. Soon, the familiar figure of the chubby man appeared on the first floor of the store.

"Long time no see, come and sit."

Luo Chen warmly greeted Chang Guiheng and had him sit down.

How could he not be enthusiastic? This chubby man was not only his biggest customer before, but also gifted him a property. Luo Chen decided to acknowledge him as a friend.

System: "Are you treating him as a friend? You're coveting his money, and the fact that he can buy your Spirit Affinities, allowing you to complete your tasks. You're despicable."

Luo Chen chose to unilaterally block the system.

When Chang Guiheng arrived, his expression seemed to relax a bit.

"A Chen, I won't bid on all your Spirit Affinities. How about I just buy one of each kind?"

It seemed Chang Guiheng was still thinking about the Spirit Affinities he hadn't seen. His first words were to try and get special treatment from Luo Chen, to gain permission to buy a few more.

Changing the store's rules was naturally impossible. Although Chang Guiheng had a mysterious identity and was wealthy, the store was not lacking in sales.

Few in Qingyang City could afford King Beasts, but many could afford Spirit Beasts, especially the high-end, rare Spirit Affinities from Chenyang Pet Store.

In Chang Guiheng's disappointed eyes, Luo Chen firmly shook his head.

"Rules, of course, cannot be changed.

But as a friend of the store owner, you don't have to buy from the store in the Illusion World.

Instead, you can buy through my channel, which won't take up the slots for the Spirit Affinities in the store. How about that?"

Understanding Luo Chen's words, Chang Guiheng's face brightened, changing from gloomy to sunny.

"Good, then many thanks, A Chen. Hmm, this time, give me one of each of all the Spirit Affinities for sale.

And I will purchase them at the final price at which those Spirit Affinities are sold in the store."

Luo Chen, who was about to say that buying them at the original price would be fine, silently swallowed his words.

If a rich person was willing to pay more, he, a poor person, shouldn't be generous. After all, what they let slip through their fingers might be more than what he earned in a year.

Moreover, the cost of materials he needed to buy for evolving Spirit Affinities was getting more and more expensive.

With the wide variety of materials, Qingyou Secret Realm had now almost become a dedicated place for raising Fragrant Spirit Affinity Rabbits.

"Alright, alright, then I'll pick one of each Spirit Affinity for you. But you're in Star Moon City right now, how will you pick up these Spirit Affinities? Let me be clear, I don't offer home delivery."

"Don't worry, A Chen, I'll send someone to pick them up. You just hand the Spirit Affinities to him then."

Hearing that someone would pick them up, Luo Chen nodded in relief. However, this would significantly reduce the number of Spirit Affinities he was raising in Stone Spirit Secret Realm. It seemed he would have to find time to evolve another batch.

"How's the competition lately?" After discussing the Spirit Affinities, Luo Chen casually asked about Chang Guiheng's competition.

"No major issues. It's highly likely I'll still make it to the ten-city finals in the capital.

What about you, A Chen?"

"I've entered the competition in Liuguang City, Middle City, but I'm not sure about the strength of Breeders in other cities, so I don't have much confidence. I can only take it one step at a time."

"There's no problem at all," Chang Guiheng suddenly said with certainty. "A Chen's Breeder talent is unique even in a big city like the capital. If you perform well, advancing should definitely not be an issue."

Looking at the serious chubby man, Luo Chen suddenly felt unaccustomed to it, so he laughed heartily,

"Then I'll take your auspicious words. I've never been to the capital before, and it would be great if I could go once."

Chang Guiheng seemed to remember something, materialized a book in his hand, and handed it to Luo Chen.

"This is a mental cultivation method my grandmaster once gave me. You should find it useful."

Seeing Chang Guiheng's solemn expression, it seemed this mental cultivation method was also a very precious item in his eyes.

"Universe Mental Cultivation Method"

Looking at the name on the book's cover, Luo Chen was stunned. The name sounded quite imposing.

He opened the pages to look at the content, and suddenly the book transformed directly into a stream of information that crashed into Luo Chen.

In that instant, Luo Chen's mental power suddenly became infinite. The stars throughout the entire universe seemed to turn into specks of dust and light around him, revolving around him, the sole center of the universe.

At that moment, his spiritual body seemed to become an existence that reached through heaven and earth. With a single thought, he could overturn and annihilate star rivers, or he could revive everything.

The boundless vastness and immensity made him unable to help but sink into it.

"Wake up."

Suddenly, a young man's voice rang in his ear, like a morning bell and evening drum, deafening.

Luo Chen's consciousness withdrew from that State of controlling everything, and then he saw himself become the most ordinary star in the universe, diligently absorbing the surrounding starlight and free-floating energy in the void, slowly growing.

That star was Luo Chen's mental consciousness. Where did this vast and boundless universe exist? Was it outside Earth Star?

And who was the male voice that just woke him up?

Unable to figure it out, Luo Chen could only temporarily put this doubt aside.

Just now, Luo Chen had already learned this so-called "Universe Mental Cultivation Method."

And Luo Chen could clearly feel that this mental cultivation method was far superior to the "Soul Tempering Method" he had used before.

During this process of continuous mental power growth, Luo Chen suddenly remembered that the chubby man seemed to still be in his store.

He quickly withdrew from this cultivation State, his consciousness returning to the store, only to find that the chubby man had already left.

However, he did leave a message for him.

[Chang Guiheng: This mental cultivation method, please do not spread it. I beg you.]

Seeing that the message was sent an hour ago, Luo Chen quickly replied to his message.

[Luo Chen: No need for many words, I will definitely not leak the cultivation method.]

In just this short hour of cultivation, Luo Chen already felt his mental power had reached the strength of a King Rank three or four-star Beast Master.

The terrifying nature of this cultivation method was evident. How should he repay the chubby man?

How about he evolves his Spirit Affinities for free from now on?
