Chapter 655: Lin Ren(2)
Soon, the pricking sensation disappeared as the drop of blood left Lin Ren’s skin. Not long after, the needle disappeared from the card, and the wound that had opened on the tip of Lin Ren’s finger got restored back to normal.
The drop of blood then automatically flowed toward the see-through hole as there was an attraction force attracting the drop of blood.
In no time, the blood entered the see-through hole. Instead of falling to the ground, the drop of blood turned into a stream of light and covered the entirety of the card.
Not long after, a red card with a slight golden hue to it appeared in the hands of Lin Ren. Lin Ren couldn’t help but feel the card to be a part of his body and had been since his birth.
The next moment, all the information related to the card automatically appeared in Lin Ren’s mind, familiarizing him even more with the supreme card.
Lin Ren didn’t attempt to study the card again as he had gotten his lesson and understood his inferiority in front of the store products.
“Thank you, store owner,” Lin Ren then thanked Aakesh with a slight bow. His head this time was lower than before, showing that his respect for Aakesh had gotten bigger.
As for if the respect was for the store or the store owner, Lin Ren had no idea, and he wanted it to stay this way.
Since Aakesh had already told him about the rules of the cards, Lin Ren already knew that he didn’t need to request Aakesh for the majority of the store products, barring two products.
Lin Ren wanted to check Panagea first, and since he didn’t need to ask Aakesh for that, he slightly bowed once again and left the queue.
Lin Ren didn’t leave for Panagea straight away, but first, he decided to buy another product.
Lin Ren then added all his wealth to the supreme card.
‘I want three First-grade Ascendance mental healing pills,’ Lin Ren thought in his mind.
The next moment, fifteen thousand supreme Primal stones got deducted from his supreme card, and soon, three pills appeared in his hands.
Lin Ren knew today had been pretty mentally taxing due to his strange behavior, so before leaving, he wanted to have a calm mindset.
He then gently put one pill into his mouth. The next moment, a transparent white light covered him.
The light disappeared as quickly as it had arrived, but the change around Lin Ren was clearly evident. There was a sincere smile on his face as if he had never felt this good. It was only a feeling, as soon, the smile disappeared.
Lin Ren knew he needed to eat one more to return to his optimal state since he was a peak Immortal with pseudo divinity, so the pill had its effect slightly reduced on him.
Lin Ren wanted to enjoy the feeling once again, so he gently put another pill in his mouth. The same process occurred once again.
This time, the smile stayed several times longer than in the last situation. At the same time, when the smile disappeared, there was still a sense of relief on Lin Ren’s face. This time, it wasn’t only a feeling that Lin Ren had never felt this happy. Lin Ren thought that he had returned to the day when he won the challenge and became the Emperor of the Xirin Empire.
Lin Ren’s eyes then fell on the last pill in his hand. An urge to eat it rose in his heart as the effect it had on him was unspeakably well. He also liked the taste of the pill, but he controlled his urge since he was an Immortal. If he couldn’t even win over his urges, his cultivation all these years was a waste of his efforts.
The next moment, Lin Ren put the pill into his space ring and stopped thinking about it. He then turned in the direction of the portal room and proceeded toward it.
As soon as Lin Ren entered the room, his eyes fell on the leaderboard. With a look of curiosity, Lin Ren read all the names placed there. He couldn’t help but feel disappointed when he didn’t see his daughter’s name in the top hundred.
Lin Ren then moved his eyes away as he would discuss it with his daughter after introducing Panagea to himself first.
His eyes then fell on the virtual portals. He could see a thousand portals, with each placed at an equal distance from the other. Lin Ren could feel that there was something different with space here, so he attempted to peer through the space. The next moment, his jaw almost dropped to the ground after seeing the number of them reaching an outrageous million, then ten million, and then it even crossed the mark of a hundred million.
Lin Ren couldn’t help but suck a cold breath of air as the value of these more than two hundred million virtual portals was several times larger than what the Xirin Empire had earned in its existence.
Unaware, the respect for Aakesh grew even more in Lin Ren’s heart.
‘What’s wrong with me? Why am I getting overwhelmed with all of this?’ Lin Ren couldn’t help but think in his heart. Since his daughter was also a regular here, she must have also seen this. If she had felt what he was feeling from the moment he had entered the store, she must have told him. If he were the first to enter, he would have surely told his daughter about it.
Lin Ren took several deep breaths at once to calm his heart. Lin Ren then communicated with his ring to find out the reason for it. He then finally got his answer. From the moment he had come across that dangerous sensation from the badge after intruding into the royal palace, a shadow had covered his heart, and it was forcing him to stay on edge all the time.
It would take several mental healing pills for him to return to normal from this.
Time flew by.
Lin Ren decided to enter Panagea as he raised the tip of his finger and touched the portal closest to him.
