Chapter 222 - Curiosity and Awe
Everyone stepped into Origin Mall.

Although the Third Elder, Liu Rumei, and Wu Daoxu had already heard some details about the store, actually seeing it for themselves left them slightly stunned.
The entire interior was crafted from pure colored glazed materials, shimmering with an otherworldly brilliance.
Spatial formations infused every corner, creating an atmosphere that felt almost... inhuman.

"Is this the so-called VR machine?"
The Third Elder's gaze landed on the row of VR devices, his eyes glimmering with curiosity.
The store layout was simple yet refined.
To the right, there were twenty seats arranged neatly, each with its own vr device.
To the left, sleek glass shelves displayed various mysterious commodities.
Directly across from the entrance, mounted on the wall, was a large monitor, spanning several dozen inches—though it had yet to be turned on.
"Yes," Luo Chuan replied casually. "You can take a look."
Then, without another word, he made his way behind the counter and settled in comfortably.
The scene was normal for Xia Yuan and the other regulars.
They knew that the boss was simply waiting for breakfast.
But for the three newcomers, this was confusing.
Wei Yi and the others hadn't mentioned these small details beforehand.

"Boss, why can't I buy anything?"
Liu Rumei raised an eyebrow, displeasure flickering in her eyes.
As a Pathseeker pinnacle cultivator and an elder of the Jade Pool Holy Land, she had never been ignored in such a manner.
Yet, Luo Chuan remained completely unresponsive.
The rest of the room fell into silence.
Even the usual talkative ones had nothing to say.
Liu Ruyu, however, seemed flustered.
She gently tugged at Liu Rumei's sleeve and whispered,
"Sister, the boss hasn't opened the shop yet. You just need to wait a little longer."
Liu Rumei rolled her eyes but held back her complaints.
Since Liu Ruyu had reminded her, and considering the warnings she'd received earlier, she decided to stay patient—for now.
As time passed, Luo Chuan simply sat behind the counter, his eyes closed, seemingly resting.
But Liu Rumei's attention had already shifted.
She found herself staring at Luo Chuan, unable to shake her curiosity.
Even among cultivators, curiosity was universal—and she was no exception.
A young man, no older than twenty, was actually the owner of Origin Mall?
And the products sold here—if they were made widely known—would shake the entire Azure Continent.
Who exactly was this boss?
She extended her spiritual sense, trying to probe Luo Chuan's cultivation.
But almost immediately, her expression shifted.
A faint frown formed on her delicate face.
Nothing.
No aura, no spiritual fluctuations, nothing at all.
Under her perception, Luo Chuan was like a bottomless black hole—an empty void that devoured all attempts at sensing his presence.
A flicker of shock and unease flashed through Liu Rumei's eyes.
For this to happen...
It meant the man before her was far stronger than she could possibly comprehend.
Wu Daoxu and the Third Elder also lowered their gazes, their expressions composed—but if one looked closely, a faint trace of awe and shock could be seen in their eyes.

Luo Chuan, of course, had noticed their attempts to probe him.
But within Origin Mall, he was protected by the system—his strength was far beyond what these cultivators could fathom.
A simple glance was enough to instill fear and reverence in them.
And if it made them respect his store even more?
Well...
Why not?
Just then, a fragrant aroma filled the air, drifting lazily through the room.
The Third Elder sniffed, his brows raising in surprise.
"What is that smell?"
