"What is it, esteemed guest?" Wu Feng said with a smile.
"Cough, cough, nothing, nothing?" Sun Wukong's monkey face turned red.
Chapter 2: The Wronged Sun Wukong
"Esteemed guest, if you wish to try anything from the General Store, you will need to pay a certain amount of Exchange Points to access it," Wu Feng explained.
"Exchange Points?" Sun Wukong was stunned.
What are Exchange Points?
"I don't have any Exchange Points," Sun Wukong shook his head. "And what even are Exchange Points?"
"Exchange Points are, in a way, the shop's currency. If you want to obtain Exchange Points, you can exchange them for relevant Cultivation Methods, Spiritual Treasures, spiritual roots, and other items," Wu Feng explained.
"Oh, this is quite interesting," Sun Wukong chuckled.
At this moment, he naturally wouldn't treat Wu Feng as an ordinary person.
He had just used his own strength and couldn't even lift the items on the counter, yet he possessed the power of an immortal.
"Of course, sometimes even if you have Exchange Points, they are useless. Sometimes the items here depend on fate. Without fate, you cannot take them. So, guest, you should take a careful look," Wu Feng said.
"It can be like that too." Sun Wukong pondered for a moment, then his eyes darted around. "Shopkeeper, why don't you introduce me to which item has the most fate with me?"
As the owner of this General Store.
In Sun Wukong's understanding, everything here should belong to Wu Feng, so this shopkeeper should know which item suited him best.
Actually, Sun Wukong was mistaken about this. The items in the General Store did not belong to Wu Feng; they belonged to the system.
Even Wu Feng himself couldn't obtain the items on the counter. If he could, he would have gotten some of the cultivation methods there, and he wouldn't still be a mortal.
Only when a guest obtained an item through Exchange Points could Wu Feng receive a portion of the Exchange Points and related treasures.
"The one with the most fate," Wu Feng pointed to a cabinet. "That book looks good. I think it has a strong fate with you."
"A book?" Sun Wukong's gaze fell on the cabinet. He frowned. It was a somewhat tattered-looking book with 'Journey to the West' written on it.
For some reason, when he saw this book, an inexplicable craving arose in his heart, a desire to obtain it.
Could I really have fate with this book?
Besides this answer, Sun Wukong couldn't think of any other explanation.
"This is a Spiritual Treasure I obtained from the Dragon Palace in the East Sea back then. Do you think it's enough?" Sun Wukong took out a glowing white pearl and threw it to Wu Feng.
"System, initiate exchange," Wu Feng said, holding the treasure pearl.
"Ding, a common Spiritual Treasure can be exchanged for twenty Exchange Points," the system's voice sounded.
"Hmm, esteemed guest, you now have twenty Exchange Points. Viewing one treasure only costs ten Exchange Points. You can pick up that copy of Journey to the West," Wu Feng said with a sly smile.
For Wu Feng, this was just the beginning.
As the first guest, he had to squeeze as much as possible.
"Okay..." Sun Wukong nodded and placed his hand on Journey to the West. This time, he successfully picked up the book.
"Journey to the West, it sounds a bit similar to my name," Sun Wukong muttered to himself.
Slowly opening Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was quickly engrossed.
This book also featured a Sun Wukong, who seemed to be on a journey to the West, following someone named Tang Sanzang...
"Rustle..."
Before much time passed, the book suddenly disappeared from Sun Wukong's hand and fell back onto the cabinet.
"This..." Sun Wukong was dumbfounded. "Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
"Guest, you only paid ten Exchange Points, so you can only read this much," Wu Feng said. "If you want to continue reading this book, you will need to pay more Exchange Points."
"More?" Sun Wukong frowned and sighed. "Shopkeeper, how many Exchange Points would it take for me to finish reading this book?"
"About a thousand," Wu Feng said calmly.
"A thousand?" Sun Wukong shouted. "Are you robbing me?"
The Spiritual Treasure he had just taken out was only worth twenty.
A thousand meant he would need fifty such treasures.
"I'm not robbing you; this is clearly priced," Wu Feng shrugged. "Esteemed guest, if you don't want to read it, you can leave."
"I..." Sun Wukong's mouth opened.
How could he not want to read it?
He felt a connection to the Sun Wukong in Journey to the West for some reason.
Moreover, the plot in the book seemed to have reached a very critical juncture.
How could Sun Wukong give up?
"If I capture you, everything here will be mine," Sun Wukong said fiercely, holding the Golden Cudgel.
Who was he? He was the famous Sun Wukong.
"You can try, but don't regret it," Wu Feng shook his head.
"Take this!" Sun Wukong brandished the Golden Cudgel and fiercely attacked.
"Power Seal," Wu Feng said calmly.
As soon as the words fell, a strange force flowed into Sun Wukong's body. His surging immortal power vanished instantly, disappearing without a trace.
"How is this possible?" Sun Wukong couldn't believe his power had been sealed just like that.
Even a legendary Grand Unity Golden Immortal couldn't do this.
"And then..." With a sinister grin, Wu Feng approached Sun Wukong.
Inside the General Store, he was invincible. Sun Wukong felt this completely now.
At this moment, Sun Wukong was like a little girl about to be wronged.
"Bang bang bang..."
"Shopkeeper, spare me! Spare me! I won't dare again, I'll never dare again."
Inside the room, screams echoed one after another.
A moment later, Sun Wukong, with two black eyes, remained in the General Store, looking utterly wronged.
At this point, he was completely convinced by Wu Feng.
The other party's strength was far superior to his.
He didn't have the slightest power to fight back.
"Shopkeeper, I admit defeat, I truly admit defeat," Sun Wukong said quickly.
"Hmm, Sun Wukong, so do you still want to read books?" Wu Feng asked.
"Yes, of course I want to read," Sun Wukong replied repeatedly. He then fumbled around on his body and took out several Spiritual Treasures, but his Exchange Points were still not enough.
"Shopkeeper, how do I give you the Cultivation Methods?"
"Just think about it in your mind, and the manual will appear in your hand."
Chapter 3: When Will the Gods and Buddhas Be Brought Down?
"Oh, oh..."
Sun Wukong nodded quickly.
The Cultivation Methods he had learned from Patriarch Bodhi flashed through his mind one by one.
As for passing on the Cultivation Methods, Sun Wukong didn't care.
His master, Bodhi, hadn't said anything about it either; he had only told him not to mention his name before.
What was most important to Sun Wukong now was to read Journey to the West (Book).
If Patriarch Bodhi knew about Sun Wukong's idea, who knows if he would spit blood.
"Great Celestial Immortal Art..."
"Dharma Appearance Heaven and Earth..."
"Somersault Cloud..."
"Seventy-Two Transformations..."
Manual after manual appeared in Sun Wukong's hands.
It could be said that this time, Sun Wukong had materialized everything he had learned from Bodhi.
"Shopkeeper, see if these are enough," Sun Wukong placed the Cultivation Methods in his hands onto Wu Feng.
"Let me take a look," Wu Feng said with a smile.
These acquired Cultivation Methods could also become part of the General Store.
