Villain Seduces to Rise in Status

”Oh, right, by the time I cultivate enough to settle down in my main body, explain the system shop.”

[System Shop Feature: Omni-Celestial Exchange]

[The Omni-Celestial Exchange is a universal marketplace operated by the system, connecting the host to an incomprehensibly vast network of worlds, dimensions, civilizations, ancient ruins, immortal domains, and hidden treasure repositories scattered throughout the universe.

Unlike ordinary merchant establishments, auction houses, or sect treasuries, the Exchange is not restricted by geography, civilization, cultivation realm, or conventional market supply.

It possesses access to virtually every category of cultivator resource, including rare medicinal herbs, extinct spiritual plants, ancient inheritance items, divine artifacts, supreme-tier techniques, forbidden cultivation manuals, rare constitutions, and treasures that have never appeared in the host’s current world.

If an item exists somewhere within the system’s accessible universal network, it can be purchased.]

Cale’s eyes widened in shock.

”You had such a cool thing and hid it from me for such a long time?! Aren’t we allies at this point?”

[The shop was inaccessible during the host’s earlier cultivation stages, because transporting objects across immense spatial distances and dimensional boundaries requires extraordinary spatial authority. Only after the host reaches the Emperor Realm does the system possess sufficient authorization and stability to establish this connection.]

”Hmm~ is that how it is... well. Go ahead.”

[The Omni-Celestial Exchange maintains access to an immense, continuously replenished inventory.

Unlike ordinary shops, its stock does not depend on a merchant’s warehouse or the availability of local suppliers. The system uses advanced spatial techniques to locate and retrieve requested items from across the universe, delivering them directly to the host.]

”Phew... I guess that solves a lot of my problems. I won’t have any trouble with stockpiling.”

[Inventory includes:

Medicinal Resources: Spiritual herbs, immortal plants, divine flowers, ancient fruits, extinct medicinal ingredients, and supreme-grade alchemical materials.

Cultivation Resources: Spiritual stones, immortal crystals, divine jades, primordial essences, origin energy, and other cultivation resources.

Weapons and Equipment: Swords, spears, bows, armor, defensive treasures, flying artifacts, spatial rings, and divine weapons.

Treasures and Inheritances: Ancient relics, bloodline treasures, primordial artifacts, lost legacies, and sealed inheritances.

Cultivation Techniques: Body-refinement methods, soul-cultivation manuals, movement techniques, combat arts, secret arts, and energy-control methods.

Formation and Crafting Materials: Formation flags, inscription materials, forging metals, talisman paper, and rare crafting ingredients.

Special Resources: Spiritual beasts’ blood, ancient creature cores, rare constitution cultivation materials, and other unusual resources.

High-Tier Techniques: Divine-tier, Supreme-tier, and even rarer cultivation techniques, provided they exist within the system’s accessible network.]

[The system never permanently runs out of stock. However, availability does not mean unlimited quantities can be delivered instantaneously. Extremely rare or unique treasures may require additional spatial retrieval time, while bulk purchases may require multiple transfers.

For genuinely unique treasures — an artifact that exists only once in the entire universe, the system can retrieve the original item, but cannot create additional authentic copies merely by virtue of having an inexhaustible marketplace.]

”Hmm, hm. Alright. That’s acceptable, of course,” he nodded.

[The shop accepts virtually any recognized form of currency or transferable value. The host is not restricted to the currency of his current world.

Accepted payment methods include:

Ordinary gold, silver, and other monetary currencies Spiritual stones of various grades Immortal stones and divine crystals Spiritual jades and other recognized cultivation currencies Blank Points granted or accumulated through the system Other valid forms of exchangeable currency recognized by the marketplace

The system automatically evaluates the value of each payment according to its universal exchange standards. Currencies from different worlds can therefore be used without requiring the host to waste time.]

”Oh? This is quite different from all the shops I’ve seen in novels. Are you their most advanced version, heh?”

[The host can combine regular currency with Blank Points in a single transaction.

For example, if an item costs 10,000,000 spiritual stones, the host could use Blank Points to obtain a discount and pay the remaining balance in spiritual stones. Alternatively, he may pay entirely with Blank Points, entirely with normal currency, or with any permitted combination of both.

The host decides how much of his available Blank Points to allocate to a purchase, subject to the system’s exchange rules. This allows the host to preserve valuable cultivation resources while making efficient use of his system rewards.]

[The Omni-Celestial Exchange operates under a special system privilege: its standard selling price is approximately fifty percent lower than the item’s established market value.

This advantage applies across its catalogue, including weapons, cultivation techniques, medicinal herbs, rare treasures, and other purchasable resources. The system determines the reference market value according to the item’s grade, condition, authenticity, rarity, and value within the relevant market.

The discount is applied to the established reference value rather than an artificially inflated asking price. Additional discounts through Blank Points may reduce the host’s final payment further, according to the applicable exchange rate.

The more valuable the item, the more substantial the savings can become.]

”Hahahaha! Now this, this is what I’m talking about! A huge discount, kahaha. I don’t know about the strongest, but I sure as hell am going to become the richest!”

Outside, Emma was tensing up, hearing him scream and laugh like a maniac.

But Cale could also see the problem. Even if the system had the item he wanted, it would be pointless if he didn’t have the money to pay for it.

Sometimes, it would be better to go and retrieve an item himself rather than waste resources on it.

’Well, it’s all the ups and downs of life...’

***

[The shop does not rely on conventional transportation. Upon confirming a purchase, the system identifies the item’s location, establishes a spatial connection, and retrieves the object through a specialized spatial transfer technique. The item is then delivered directly to the host’s designated receiving space or inventory.

This technique can operate across enormous distances.]

***

[The Omni-Celestial Exchange is not merely a purchasing platform. It also functions as a universal buyer.

The host can sell unwanted possessions, surplus cultivation resources, treasures acquired during adventures, or items he has personally created.

Accepted merchandise may include:

Unwanted weapons and artifacts Excess medicinal herbs and alchemical products Rare materials and spiritual resources Treasures recovered from ancient ruins Cultivation manuals and techniques the host is authorized to sell Personally forged weapons, refined pills, crafted treasures, and other original creations

Upon submitting an item, the system evaluates its authenticity, grade, condition, rarity, usefulness, and established market value. It then presents a purchase offer. Once the host accepts, the item is transferred to the system and the agreed payment is credited to the host.

The host may choose from the payment methods supported by the system: spiritual stones, immortal stones, other recognized cultivation currencies, and ordinary monetary currencies.

The host cannot force the system to purchase an item at an arbitrary price, nor can he create unlimited wealth by repeatedly selling and repurchasing the same item. Items must meet the system’s acceptance requirements, and the system may reject counterfeit, duplicated, restricted, or otherwise ineligible merchandise.]

[The system can also list techniques that have disappeared from the host’s world or have never been recorded in its historical archives. However, purchasing a technique does not automatically grant mastery over it. The host must still meet its cultivation requirements, comprehend its principles, and invest the necessary time and resources into training. Certain techniques may also require a compatible physique, bloodline, constitution, or Dao comprehension.]

Seeing this, Cale sighed and sat down on the bed with a thud.

”It’s like buying a new video game. Oh right, what are these immortal stones you keep talking about?”

[Immortal stones are a higher version of spiritual stones. After low, medium, and high grade spiritual stones, there are low, medium, and high grade immortal stones.

One low grade immortal stone is worth approximately one thousand high grade spiritual stones.]

’There existed such a currency which I’ve never even seen or heard of?! This day is getting more and more interesting.’
