Multiverse Skill System

Page 417

The art of cooking is profound and extensive; one can even achieve sainthood or even become a Chaos Emperor through cooking. There are several Chaos Emperors in the company who have achieved this through cooking. It is said that the delicious food they cook has various effects, such as increasing cultivation level, enhancing realm, and even being used to set up formations to fight enemies.

Yi Shuihan's skill level was naturally not that high, but he could still be called the number one chef in the prehistoric world. If a spiritual fruit were eaten directly, it would be good if it could absorb seven layers of spiritual energy. However, after being processed by Yi Shuihan, it could retain all of its energy. Furthermore, when various ingredients were combined, it might even produce a chemical effect, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth and greatly enhancing its own effects.

This tactic won him over the moment it was first revealed to Hongyun, captivating him not only through his stomach but also through his heart.

Although Donghuang Taiyi and the others were just shop assistants and mounts, Yi Shuihan had no intention of humiliating them and let them join him at the table. At first, they were quite reserved and didn't care much about the so-called delicacies. However, after taking the first bite, they were completely conquered by Yi Shuihan's food and started fighting over it.

Styx used to have no interest in food, but now he feels he was really foolish. If he had known that food could be this good, he would definitely have eaten three meals a day, no, five meals a day.

"Since you're all following me, you must follow my rules from now on. Unless you're in seclusion for cultivation, you'll have three meals a day, which I'll cover as employee benefits. In addition, every hundred years, I'll pay you a salary, which is a reward. This salary will be calculated based on how many systems you sell. For each system you sell, you'll receive a 1% commission."

"Of course, if anyone shirks their duties or makes a mistake, I dare say the consequences will be something you won't want to see."

Yi Shuihan knew that if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it grass. He didn't intend to let Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe work for nothing. Giving a carrot and then a stick was a common management method.

Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe paid close attention to the three meals a day, feeling that Yi Shuihan still respected them to some extent. As for the one percent commission, they didn't care much about it, since one percent was really too little.

When Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe truly understand the value of a system, they will realize what that one percent represents. Perhaps working for a hundred years is equivalent to obtaining an acquired spiritual treasure, and perhaps ten thousand years is enough to obtain an innate spiritual treasure. At that time, they will find that being a shop assistant in Yishuihan's shop is an extremely happy thing.

While Yi Shuihan was feasting, Di Jun was finally brought back to the Heavenly Court.

Upon regaining consciousness, Di Jun learned from Fu Xi what had happened after he fell into a coma. He was so enraged that he fainted again. The people of Heaven faintly heard Di Jun's earth-shattering roar, something about fighting Tai Yi to the death.

Several months later, the battle finally came to a complete end. The injuries were basically known to all. All beings in the prehistoric world who were above the level of immortals knew the name of Taiyi. He had defeated six top-level quasi-saints single-handedly. The names of each of these six quasi-saints had been praised for countless years in the prehistoric world.

"Senior brother, thank goodness you stopped me. This Taiyi is indeed not to be trifled with! He couldn't even defeat Dijun and the other six together. It's simply heaven-defying. I was originally planning to go and cause trouble for him, but thank goodness I didn't!"

Zhunti looked extremely frightened. Dijun had contacted him, saying that as long as he participated, he would support them in dividing up a territory in the East, which was quite attractive to Zhunti.

In the end, Jieyin dissuaded them, saying that they also possessed Hongmeng Purple Qi, and it would be bad if they were deceived. Moreover, they were too easy to mess with, and he was not optimistic about this plan. As Jieyin had predicted, the outcome was exactly as he had predicted.

“Junior brother, once we comprehend the Primordial Purple Qi and become saints, we will definitely be stronger than Taiyi. The most important thing now is to become a saint. Don’t think about anything else. If you don’t become a saint, you will still be an ant.”

Although Jieyin believed that Yi Shuihan was powerful, he was not certain that Yi Shuihan's strength was comparable to that of a saint. This was because the specific details of that particular image had not been revealed, otherwise his opinion might have changed.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi is indeed an extraordinary person; I am no match for him."

Upon hearing the news, Tongtian readily admitted that he was inferior to Yishuihan. At the same time, he felt an even stronger desire to become a saint. However, he was torn between taking the path of a true saint or taking the easily attainable sainthood.

......

"The Multiverse System Shop will open in three months. Anyone with the right destiny is welcome to come."

On this day, the entire prehistoric continent heard this voice. Although they had never heard of the Myriad Realms System Shop before, they understood what it was and knew that it was an unparalleled opportunity. As a result, countless people who considered themselves to be destined for it began to rush towards the Myriad Realms System Shop.

A single sentence could be heard throughout the entire primordial world—this was the power of a sage, but it meant nothing to Yi Shuihan, who possessed a system.

"On the opening day, a lucky draw will be held. Anyone who purchases one system can participate in the draw, with the top prize being a mysterious system that can raise one's cultivation level to Quasi-Saint."

If the previous sentence stirred up the primordial world, this sentence completely ignited it. The temptation of a quasi-saint drove everyone in the primordial world who could understand it into a frenzy. One can imagine how lively the opening of Yi Shui Han must have been.

Chapter 1053, inside and outside the valley

Outside a valley, a large group of creatures gathered. They belonged to different factions, including demons, witches, and even unicorns, phoenixes, and even divine dragons, which were rarely seen in the primordial world.

Normally, they would never be able to stay together so peacefully, but at this moment they are so harmonious, each of them looking at the valley with shining eyes.

"Another lucky person got in! I wish I could get in too!"

A rat spirit with the cultivation of a celestial being looked enviously toward the valley, where the Myriad Realms System Shop was located, a place of immense opportunity.

Recently, rumors have been circulating throughout the primordial world that as long as one can enter the Myriad Realms System Shop, there is at least a chance to become a Golden Immortal. If one has great fortune, it is possible to become a Great Luo Golden Immortal or even a Quasi-Saint.

As long as one can obtain the system's magical treasure, regardless of one's previous aptitude, one can grow into a powerful figure and live a fulfilling life in the prehistoric world.

It's somewhat exaggerated, yet it has a degree of truth. The system itself is a cheat code. Once you activate the cheat, as long as you have enough intelligence, you can naturally improve. And once you improve, everything else will follow.

There are still two days left until the opening date mentioned by Yi Shuihan, but two months ago, this place was already found, and a large group of creatures wanting to obtain the system surrounded it.

However, the valley containing the Multiverse System Shop is not open to just anyone. There is a special magic circle outside, and only those who can step into the magic circle can enter.

This magic array was naturally set up by Yi Shuihan to filter out those who were truly qualified to purchase the system. Since the lowest price of any system in Yi Shuihan's possession was 500 value points, those whose treasures were worth less than 500 value points were not qualified to enter the magic array.

The magic array isn't strong; anyone above the Great Luo Golden Immortal level can break it. However, no Great Luo Golden Immortal has made a move yet. The main reason is that even the poorest Great Luo Golden Immortal should possess treasures worth over 500 points.

Opening a business and turning customers away is something only Yi Shuihan would do. If there's no value in it, why would you come in? Although looking at Yi Shuihan doesn't cost you anything, Yi Shuihan is saying, "If there's no value in it, then go to hell."

Tencent knows to create happiness with heart, but if you don't have money, you can't play games. Yi Shui Han's principle is similar: if you have value, you're the boss; if you don't, get lost.

Of course, Yi Shuihan wasn't so heartless. If you were a quasi-saint, even if you had nothing, you could enter the formation on your own merits, and Yi Shuihan wouldn't say anything. He might even allow you to bring a few companions with you.

"Look, another powerful figure has arrived. That's the Flying Ancestor, a powerful Grand Luo Golden Immortal."

"Fairy Liuli, she's here too. She's at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, and it's said that she's only one step away from entering the Quasi-Saint realm."

"That's Ao Ba, the patriarch of the Divine Dragon Clan. He controls the four seas and I've heard that his wealth is enough to build a Spirit Treasure City."

"The Insect Ancestor has also arrived. He is infamous and has killed more than five Great Luo Golden Immortals."

Powerful beings would arrive from time to time, then pass through the magic array and enter the valley. Every time someone recognized them, there would be a commotion. This was why those who stayed outside and were not qualified to enter the valley did not leave, just to watch the excitement.

The opening of Yi Shuihan's Myriad Realms System Shop can be described as a grand event in the entire prehistoric world. Those who come to watch the spectacle are not ordinary people; they are all minor experts in their small area.

Outside the valley, it was bustling, but inside the valley, it was relatively quiet. More than a thousand Great Luo Golden Immortals had entered the valley, along with dozens of Quasi-Saints, a few Golden Immortals, and even a Celestial Immortal with an even lower cultivation level. It was obvious that the Golden Immortals and Celestial Immortals were all blessed, otherwise their status would not have met the requirements for entering the magic array.

The familiar Great Immortals gathered together in groups, forming a small circle, and then communicated with each other through telepathy, which is why the valley seemed quieter than the outside.

"I didn't see wrong, did I? Those are Ancestor Styx and Donghuang Taiyi. They actually became shop assistants. So Taiyi really did win against six opponents."

"Who can argue with that? I had heard about it before, but I never believed it. Now that the facts are right in front of me, I can't help but believe it."

"So, the rumors about the system must be true. I brought all my possessions with me just to exchange for a system that allows me to cultivate to the level of a quasi-saint."

Yi Shuihan was quite considerate, building many wooden chairs outside the shop for potential customers to rest, although it wouldn't have been difficult for these customers to find a place to rest.

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Taiyi, how have you been?"

"It's the Three Pure Ones! The Three Pure Ones have actually come. They've been secluded from visiting since the Three Lectures by Dao Ancestor Hongjun, but now they've actually come here."

Laozi, Yuanshi, and Tongtian, the three future sages, were extremely famous in the prehistoric world, and were subtly superior to all living beings in the prehistoric world. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches and Dijun could not compare with the Three Pure Ones. The only ones who were considered to be on the same level as the Three Pure Ones were Nuwa, Zhunti, and Jieyin, because they were all predicted by Hongjun to be able to become sages.

Even if Yi Shuihan is powerful and even obtains the Primordial Purple Qi, the foundation for sainthood, he is still inferior to the Three Pure Ones in the eyes of the beings of the prehistoric world, and will be surpassed sooner or later.

The fact that the Three Pure Ones personally visited the store suggests that Taiyi is on the same level as them in their eyes. After all, the Three Pure Ones didn't even attend Dijun's wedding or when he became emperor.

"Fellow Daoist Tongtian is as generous as ever, welcome!"

The Three Pure Ones were now qualified to be greeted by Yi Shuihan, so everyone finally saw Yi Shuihan, the shop owner. Previously, Yi Shuihan had not shown up; only Styx and Donghuang Taiyi were at the shop entrance.

"What? You're not letting us in? Are you just going to make everyone wait like this?"

Tongtian looked around in confusion and pointed to the shop.

"The time is not right yet, so you can't go in. Wait two more days until it officially opens, then you can enter and purchase a system. If you can't wait, I can let you enter alone first, but the premise is that you must buy a system when you enter."

"Then forget it, I'll wait two more days."

Chapter 1054, Officially Open for Business

Among the future sages, the Three Pure Ones were the first to arrive. In the following day, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa also arrived one after another. As a result, the atmosphere in the small valley became even more enthusiastic. The last time so many great beings gathered together was when Hongjun was giving a sermon.

Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe were wearing the shop assistant uniforms that Yi Shuihan had specially prepared for them. Their identical attire stood out from the crowd and attracted a lot of attention. Fortunately, those who came in were not fools. At most, they would look at them with surprise, but they did not say anything. This allowed Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe to save some face.

On the opening day, Di Jun brought two Great Luo Golden Immortals whom Yi Shuihan did not recognize to the valley. They silently approached Donghuang Taiyi, and the two brothers gazed at each other affectionately.

"Taiyi, you've suffered. It's all because your older brother is useless."

"Big brother, it's not your fault, I'm actually fine."

Donghuang Taiyi was quite good. At first, he was extremely unwilling to stay by Yi Shuihan's side, but later he gradually changed his mind. Apart from the unpleasant name and loss of freedom, Yi Shuihan did not do anything to him. Moreover, he enjoyed delicious food every day with Yi Shuihan, which was better than his life in the Heavenly Court.

Di Jun did not believe Donghuang Taiyi's words, thinking that Donghuang Taiyi was just comforting him and saying that in order to reduce his guilt.

As the Heavenly Emperor, Di Jun appears incredibly glamorous to outsiders, yet he couldn't even protect his own younger brother. Whenever he thought of this, Di Jun felt extremely frustrated, as if his dignity had been trampled underfoot. He racked his brains trying to figure out how to deal with Yi Shuihan, but ultimately couldn't come up with a feasible solution. The sight of Yi Shuihan easily humiliating him left him feeling deeply powerless.

A series of crackling sounds rang out, making the valley lively. Everyone stared curiously at the strange thing that was exploding; they had never seen anything like it before.

Opening a shop naturally requires setting off firecrackers. These firecrackers that are exploding are specially crafted by Yi Shuihan, and they are quite loud. Although no one present felt the slightest fear of these so-called firecrackers, since even a small spell cast by Yi Shuihan would produce a much louder noise.

Amidst everyone's puzzled expressions, Yi Shuihan solemnly announced that the Myriad Realms System Shop was now open for business, and people were welcome to enter the shop to visit and purchase the system.

"Big brother, I have to go do some work."

Donghuang Taiyi abandoned Dijun and then strode into the shop to start soliciting customers.

"Fellow Daoist, would you like a dual cultivation system? With this system, you'll have access to a top-tier dual cultivation manual. You won't need to endure arduous meditation or search for rare and precious materials. Just find a few Daoist partners and enjoy the pleasures of dual cultivation every day. Your cultivation level will increase rapidly. If you're at the early stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, with a little effort, you can break through to the middle stage of the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm in a hundred years and to the late stage in a thousand years."

Like a professional salesperson, Donghuang Taiyi talked endlessly about the benefits of the dual cultivation system, making the Great Luo Golden Immortal in front of him dizzy. In the end, he paid for the dual cultivation system in a daze, spending 1 value points.

It was also Donghuang Taiyi's good fortune that made him so lucky. Ordinary Golden Immortals wouldn't be so wealthy. They would have spent all their savings to buy a Golden Immortal-level system. The one who was fooled by Donghuang Taiyi was a second-generation heir with a father who was a Quasi-Saint. A Quasi-Saint could afford to buy a Golden Immortal-level system.

"Wow! You actually earned 100 value points right away."

The system sellers all eventually come to Yi Shuihan to get their goods, so he was the first to know that Donghuang Taiyi had sold the system.

"Keep working hard and try to earn 100,000 value points. Then you can use those 100,000 value points to exchange for a chance to leave."

To further encourage Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe, Yi Shuihan added a clause that allows them to exchange 100,000 value points for a departure slot. In other words, as long as they have a treasure worth 100,000 value points, they can leave.

Clearly, both Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe were scammed. Earning 100,000 value points is not so easy, especially by selling systems. At least a thousand dual cultivation systems need to be sold. Don't be fooled by the speed of the first one's sale; in fact, there are no more than three-digit numbers in the entire prehistoric world who can actually afford a dual cultivation system. Donghuang Taiyi just got incredibly lucky.

"Is this still my second brother?"

Di Jun watched Donghuang Taiyi's deception from a distance, feeling bewildered. He thought he had found a fake second brother. He knew his second brother's personality best. He was taciturn and not good with words. He would not speak unless necessary. He was the extremely introverted type. Now, however, he was as extroverted as could be.

“Fellow Daoist Di Jun, how about doing me a favor and selling me an Emperor System? This system doesn’t increase cultivation level, it only increases combat power, but it’s perfect for you.”

Styx found Dijun and said with a smile that he had changed his face as Yi Shuihan had instructed, and his smile still had a certain friendliness.

There are countless systems, but not all of them have to increase cultivation levels. There are also many systems with unique functions, such as the Great Merchant System, which is designed to cultivate great merchants and rewards them with business skills and the art of commerce.

This Emperor System is a rather special system. Its price is only equivalent to that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal-level system, which costs only 2. However, for Di Jun, it is no worse than the Quasi-Saint System. The Emperor System provides a strength boost to the host based on the territory he owns. The more territory he owns, the stronger the boost will be. Even with Di Jun's current territory, it is estimated that doubling his strength at once would not be a problem. If he occupied half of the prehistoric world, he could fight against a Saint with the help of the system's boost.

Of course, the Emperor System also has its drawbacks. If something happens to his territory, his strength boost will disappear. If he loses too much territory at once, he will be weakened for a period of time. If he loses all his territories, Emperor Jun will suffer a backlash, and his cultivation level may even drop.

"Actually, there is an even more powerful Heavenly Emperor System. Even if your territory disappears, you will not suffer any backlash. However, the price is three times that of this Emperor System. You can consider it."

Chapter 1055, Creating Life Races Based on Pangu

The general meaning of the system and what the value points represent were instilled into the minds of many powerful beings the moment they entered the store, ensuring that they could understand the words of Donghuang Taiyi and Styx.

The shop naturally displayed a lot of systems, but most of them were Golden Immortal level systems with only the simplest introductions. In addition, the systems all looked similar, so there was nothing particularly interesting about them. However, the system's focus was on practicality, and everyone was still very interested in these systems with different functions. Many powerful figures looked at them one by one, as if they wanted to see all of them.

As qualified shop assistants, Donghuang Taiyi and Minghe not only knew the systems displayed in the shop like the back of their hand, but also the more advanced systems that Yi Shuihan had told them about. Most of these were Daluo Jinxian level systems worth more than 10,000 points, which was their main scope of work.

Styx looked at Dijun expectantly. In his opinion, this deal of his was very likely to be successful. Dijun's demon clan power was already inferior to that of the witch clan, and now he had lost Donghuang Taiyi. He was in dire need of replenishing his fighting strength. Although this Emperor System could not give Dijun the power to fight the witch clan directly, it could make his position more stable.

If Di Jun is clever enough to secretly control more than half of the prehistoric world without the knowledge of the Wu Clan, he might actually be able to defeat the Wu Clan and truly rule the prehistoric world. At that time, with the help of the system, his combat power would surpass that of the saints, and he would receive merit for unifying the prehistoric world. Perhaps he could achieve sainthood without relying on the system.

Minghe was right; Dijun was indeed somewhat tempted, but he did not answer Minghe immediately, saying he needed to think about it.

"Don't even think about buying it from Donghuang Taiyi. Unless you don't buy the Emperor System or the Heavenly Emperor System, buying it from him will be counted as buying it from me."

Styx seemed to have discerned part of Donghuang Tai's thoughts, and said this.

Seeing that Di Jun was unable to make a decision for the time being, Ming He identified a wealthy man, approached him, and began his sales pitch again.

Surrounding Yi Shuihan were the Three Pure Ones, Zhunti, Jieyin, and Nuwa. They formed a small circle, and even Zhen Yuanzi and Hongyun did not join, just like Fuxi.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi's shop is indeed impressive. With so many systems displayed so openly, aren't you afraid someone will steal them?"

Zhunti said with a smile, which immediately made the atmosphere quite tense.

"Who would steal it from you?"

Yi Shuihan asked a question in return.

Zhunti's expression stiffened. He naturally couldn't reply that he wanted to snatch them, although he was indeed a little envious. In his eyes, these systems were all treasures. If they all belonged to him, that would be perfect. If Yi Shuihan's strength was weak, he really planned to pull off a heist.

"Fellow Daoist Taiyi, you are joking. How could I possibly do such a thing?"

"That's good. Actually, as long as it's not Fellow Daoist Zhunti, I believe no one would be interested in these things. After all, the really good systems are all in my own body, and the systems in the shop are all ordinary."

These words infuriated Zhunti. According to Yi Shuihan, he, Zhunti, would definitely have designs on these systems? Was his taste really that much lower than others?

In fact, what Yi Shuihan said was not wrong, but Zhunti would never admit it.

Yi Shuihan had a problem with Zhunti, which was noticed by the Three Pure Ones and Nuwa. What puzzled them was that Yi Shuihan didn't seem to have any major grudges against Zhunti. Although what Zhunti said before was a bit wrong, it shouldn't have warranted such a targeting from Yi Shuihan.

Well, they never would have imagined that it was because of some mortals that Yi Shuihan became wary of Zhunti Xiantian. Zhunti was the most unscrupulous among the saints, and his famous sayings, such as "This item is destined for me" and "Fellow Daoist Shen Gongbao, please stay," were well-known.

"I wonder if any of you have grasped the mysteries of the Primordial Purple Qi, and know how to become a saint."

Yi Shuihan didn't want things to get too tense, so he simply changed the subject, but he was looking at Nuwa while he was speaking.

"I cultivate the Dao of Creation and have recently gained some insights. I want to create a new race, but I am not yet able to create the race I desire."

Nuwa generously revealed her situation, stating that she already knew her path to sainthood lay in creation.
