Elixirs that enhance vitality were exceedingly rare.
So when—the Jade Nectar Dew—appeared, most cultivators subconsciously doubted its effectiveness.
A mere 100,000 spirit crystals for something that could restore life force?
It sounded too good to be true.
But now—
They regretted their hesitation.
The transformation of Huang Shi had been nothing short of miraculous.
His aged, dying body had been restored to its prime.
This effect was completely against the heavens!
And those who had hesitated?
They could only grit their teeth, cursing themselves for not acting sooner.
Among the crowd, Ji Wuhui, the Emperor of Tianxing, let out a chuckle.
"To be honest," he mused, "I'm really tempted to try this Jade Nectar Dew myself."
Despite how long Origin Mall had been open in Nine Stars City, Ji Wuhui had never purchased a bottle of Jade Nectar Dew before.
And now, after witnessing its power firsthand, he deeply regretted it.
This had practically become an obsession for him.
Luckily, his recent trip to the Ancient Ruins had given him an opportunity.
He had already bought a bottle.
"Haven't you already purchased one, Your Majesty?" Old Bai, his loyal attendant, asked with a smile.
Ji Wuhui laughed.
"I have, but there's no rush!" he said, waving his hand. "Something this divine shouldn't be wasted in such a setting. I'll save it for when I return to the Imperial City and savor it properly!"
Old Bai chuckled.
Only Origin Mall could make the Emperor of Star Empire treat a single bottle of wine with such reverence.
Meanwhile, the transformation of Huang Shi had finally settled.
He took a deep breath, feeling the fresh surge of vitality coursing through his body.
As he opened his eyes, a look of awe and excitement spread across his face.
His hands trembled slightly as he examined himself.
He could feel it—his entire body was in a state far better than before!
"The rumors were true," he murmured in amazement. "This truly is the Jade Dew's Blessing!"
Luo Chuan glanced at him.
"How do you feel?"
Huang Shi clenched his fists.
"It's been a long time since I've felt this young!" he sighed, then turned to Luo Chuan with a deep bow. "Boss, I am eternally grateful!"
Luo Chuan waved a hand lazily.
"I already told you—it has nothing to do with me."
Huang Shi hesitated.
For a moment, he recalled how Mo Yuan had also thanked Luo Chuan earlier.
But seeing the store owner's indifferent expression, he simply smiled.
Even if Luo Chuan refused to take credit, Huang Shi would never forget this favor.
To him, this was no different from saving his life.
The onlookers, who had remained hesitant until now, couldn't hold back anymore.
"Boss! I want to buy one too!" someone shouted as they rushed forward.
"Me too!"
"Origin Mall always puts out legendary products, and I won't miss this one!"
In the blink of an eye, nearly everyone in the room swarmed toward the light curtain.
The hundred-meter-wide display suddenly felt cramped as they fought to make their purchases.
Until now, they had doubted the product descriptions.
But now?
They were fully convinced.
If they hesitated again, they might never get another chance.
And then—
Chaos erupted.
Sold Out!
"Wait… where is the Jade Nectar Dew?"
"What?! It's gone?!"
"Huh? What about the mineral water?! That's missing too!"
Confused voices filled the air.
It didn't take long before someone realized the truth.
"Didn't you see? The stock is completely empty."
"What?! There was a limit?!"
"Of course! When we were purchasing earlier, there were only a few bottles of each item!"
"You mean to tell me there were only three bottles in total?!"
A horrifying silence followed.
And then—
"NOOOOOO!!"
Some of them nearly collapsed on the spot.
Many had been so focused on watching others that they forgot to act.
Now, they could only regret it.
They had hesitated—
And now, the chance was gone forever.
One man clutched his chest, his face filled with despair.
"I once had a chance to buy it…"
He took a deep breath, his voice trembling.
"But I hesitated. And now… it's gone."
Another cultivator clenched his fists.
"If the heavens gave me another chance…"
He turned toward Luo Chuan, eyes burning with desperation.
"I would say three words to the boss—"
"I. Want. To. BUY!"
But unfortunately—
There was no second chance.
The shelves were empty.
And those who missed out could do nothing but grieve their own hesitation.
