The Story Never Ends

"My God! How can it be so huge?" Davion exclaimed in astonishment when he entered the door on the fifth floor.

This room was thrice as large as how it seemed from outside. The floor was marbled and shiny on which he could clearly see his own reflections. On the ceiling, there were weird bright jellyfishes lighting up the room instead of the normal chandeliers.

There were well-furnished tables and chairs kept in the middle in an arranged manner. As for the sides, there were compartments of various sizes made for people who came in groups. Like the other rooms, these compartments were impenetrable with his Mind-Eye.

"Can you at least lower your voice? You are embarrassing us." Siena's voice came from behind.

"My bad. I got excited after seeing this spatial formation as it's my first time. Moreover, why are you worried? There is nobody here to eardrop us." He reasoned.

"I heard it." A kid's voice was heard from above alarming both of them.

They gazed over and saw a female child materializing out of thin air. She was transparent and was completely made up of aura.

"Welcome to the Sky Heavens Restaurant."

"Guests, what do you like to order? Since it's your first time here, I will show you the menu." She greeted them and with just a flick of her hand, a translucent panel appeared infornt of them.

There they could see a long list of wines and dishes along with their prices. However, Davion didn't bother to look at them and simply declared, "Bring everything you have."

"What? Are you really trying to eat all by yourself?" Siena blurted out in disbelief. The child also had the same reaction.

Although Domain Realm Experts could digest almost everything, the foods he ordered were not normal. The energy contained in them would definitely be huge for one to handle. It might even backfire and cripple him. Not only that, but the price was also astronomical.

"Indeed. Is there any problem?" He asked innocently and didn't forget to mock her too.

"If you are thinking about the cost, then you don't have to brood over it. I won't ask you for a single penny as I know your sorry state. Just eat till your heart gets content. Everything is on me."

"You.." She became furious but didn't argue with him. After all, what he said made sense. She hadn't carried much wealth when running away from home.

"Humph! Let's see what you will do with the food. Don't beg for my help later on." She scoffed inwardly and sat on a nearby table.

Davion smiled seeing her reaction. He then said to the child, "I heard that you can buy rare goods here, is it true?"

"Of course." She opened her palm and a circular orb popped up in it. She gave it to him and said, "You need to inject your Qi."

Davion nodded and did what she told, causing another panel to appear infront of him. Similar to the earlier panel, he saw tones of materials with their price listed together.

"Sir, you can browse the goods here while we prepare your dishes." The child suggested.

"Ok." Davion sat opposite of Siena and went through it carefully. As for the child, she passed through the ceiling and disappeared.

After looking through it for a couple of minutes, his expression became uglier and uglier.

Seeing this, Siena immediately asked with concern, "Did you not find the stuff?"

She was referring to the materials required for the Teleportation Formation that Davion had lied to. She didn't say it in a straight manner in fear that somebody might hear it.

"No, it's not the case. In addition to them, I was looking for pills useful for someone at the Domain Realm. But I can't seem to find them." He was disappointed.

"Hehe, were you trying to use pills to win the bet?" She chuckled.

"Is this strange? I believe that all the geniuses from the big tribes take them to increase their cultivation base quickly, including you." He was sure about it.

"It's not that easy. These pills are called Soul Strengthening Pills and can only be made by beings who have mastered the power of laws. So, they are terrifyingly expensive and difficult to produce. This also holds true for the four major tribes. From what I've heard the Phoenix Clan barely makes twenty of these in a year." She explained.

"That rare?" Davion had his mouth wide open.

"Indeed, this is the reason why they are labeled as Fairy Pills." She added.

"Haiz, does this mean that I can't get my hands on them here?" He sighed.

"Yes. The Black Tortoise clan would definitely not sell any of them. They would better use them to nurture more talents in their tribe." She answered.

"Damn, so what am I going to do now?" He cursed.

"Hehe, even if you had these pills, you would never be able to break through the next stage." She spoke confidently.

"Humm, is there something wrong with them?" He was confused.

"Nah, it's not like that. These pills become way less effective when you consume them the second time. Furthermore, after reaching the peak Domain Realm, you need to comprehend and understand the rules of heavens and earth which is a significant challenge for everyone. Unfortunately, no pills will help one here resulting in many geniuses being stuck in this stage forever." She replied.

"It looks like I can only forget about them. Then what about the higher-grade spiritual artifacts? There is not a single one mentioned here." Currently, the middle-stage artifacts like the axe and the halberd he used to wield became useless to him.

It's because they won't be able to withstand the tones of aura of heavens and earth he can manipulate. Thus, he was in need of higher-grade spiritual weapons. Although he had that staff and two devil skulls, they were not suitable for him. He needed something that could slice through his enemies like butter.

"What about other lower-grade artifacts?" She didn't answer that question.

"Let me see." He scrolled down but didn't see them as well.

"Don't tell me this place doesn't sell a single artifact?" He was getting irritated as he wasted his time coming to this useless place. He didn't find anything useful here.

"It seems to be the case. But you don't have to get so worked up. I have one here." She took out an elegant short sword about 50 cm long engraved with patterns of various types of birds.

"Are you giving this to me?" He was amazed by her generosity.

"Consider this as a repayment for today's treat." She threw it towards him.

"Thanks." He caught it and made a few swings in the air.

"It's extremely light and looks well suited for a woman. Anyways, it's better than nothing." He murmured and refined it straight away.

"Hush"

Powerful white flames emerged from it and before it could spread out, he stopped channeling his spiritual energy.

"Good Weapon." He praised it.

"Of course. It is refined by our white flames after all." She felt proud.

While they were talking, the door suddenly burst open and they saw the child coming with her hands raised up with many dishes and bottles hovering over her head.

"Guests, these are your order." She spread her hands, and everything began dropping one by one on their table. But since the space was not enough, she had no other choice than to drop them on nearby tables.

Afterward, she asked, "Sir, have you decided on the materials that you are going to purchase?"

"Yes." He randomly said a few new names and tossed her a spirit ring containing a large number of spirit stones.

"Sir, I will bring them to you in a couple of minutes." She rushed straight into the ceiling as earlier.

"Siena, why aren't you starting?" He couldn't help but ask when he saw her not eating anything. Actually, he was eager to see her face once again. After all, she has to remove the veil to eat.

"Then I won't be polite." She picked up a pair of chopsticks from the table and using it she grabbed a piece of meat from one of the plates. Next, she took it near her mouth while Davion was watching the whole process intently like a movie.

However, when the most important part came, her veil fluttered a few centimeters ahead allowing her to slip the food in her mouth swiftly. Moreover, she asked with a hint of sarcasm, "Are you disappointed?"

"Indeed." He didn't deny it.

"You are really shameless. How can you admit it so openly? " She spoke with disdain.

"Haha." In response, he simply laughed it off and chugged in a bottle of wine.

It tasted bitter, and he felt his body burning at once. But nothing more happened as his heavenly body digested it completely.

"Humm, my experience points increased. Although it's almost negligible, it seems to be true. Everything here helps one in their cultivation.." He thought and began tasting the dishes and wines all one by one.
