Lin Yijun, on the other hand, stood there, his carefree demeanor still intact. While the others were practically ready to rush back to their sects to start cultivating, he was thinking about something else entirely.
“Elder Feng, what exactly does the Lime Fizz do?” Lin Yijun asked.
“It sharpens your focus, clears your mind, and enhances your ability to control your spiritual qi.” Elder Feng Yuhan replied.
“Use it well.”
Lin Yijun nodded vigorously as if he was swearing an oath to cultivate with all his might. But beneath the surface, his attention was elsewhere.
This brat was up to something. Lin Yijun was already planning to head to a nearby lake!
With his focus and control boosted, why not put that energy to good use with a peaceful afternoon of fishing?
He could already picture himself by the tranquil water, the Lime Fizz keeping him sharp while he waited for any fish to bite.
And to make sure his reflexes were on point, he’d also drink the Cola!
The combination would give him the perfect reaction speed to catch any fish that came close.
He grinned at the thought, looking forward to the perfect day by the lake.
If the elders had any idea what Lin Yijun was plotting, they’d probably think he’d lost his mind.
The idea of wasting the Lime Fizz’s focused energy on fishing?
Unthinkable.
Elder Feng Yuhan would’ve probably smacked Lin Yijun upside the head.
Who in their right mind would waste such a precious enhancement on fish?
Elder Tang Sheng might have let out an exasperated sigh but would probably hold back from saying anything.
He had long accepted that his disciple was the kind of “genius” who’d rather explore or enjoy a day than lock himself away in cultivation and training for days on end.
That’s why Lin Yijun earned the affectionate title of “lazy bastard” in the sect.
Lin Yijun, of course, didn’t care about any of that. The lake was calling to him. Why not enjoy a quiet, relaxing day when he had the perfect excuse to do so?
He walked up to the counter and turned to Hao.
“Boss, is it possible to drink the Cola and Lime Fizz together?”
“Won’t their effects clash or something?”
In the cultivation world, it was common for cultivators to consume multiple elixirs or pills one after another. However, caution was always necessary.
Each item had a specific purpose, and consuming them in quick succession could disrupt their intended effects if not carefully balanced.
While the body could handle more than one pill or elixir at a time, overloading it with too many different types of energy could still lead to imbalances.
Even if the effects didn’t clash directly, they might still not produce the desired results, and the body’s ability to process the influx of energy could be strained.
In some cases, taking different elixirs or pills one after the other could even cause harm, disrupting the natural flow of spiritual qi, leading to internal injury, or, in severe cases, crippling one’s body.
While there were some consumables designed to complement each other, they were the exception rather than the rule.
Thus, cultivators had to be careful, paying attention to the timing and type of energy they consumed. Taking too many different elixirs or pills too quickly without allowing the body to adjust could be risky.
Hao scratched his head, not out of stress for not knowing the answer, but because he was a bit jealous.
Despite being the owner of the store, he hadn’t experienced the effects of any of these drinks. After all, he wasn’t a cultivator – just a regular mortal.
Sure, they tasted good, but that was about it! He couldn’t even imagine what it felt like to drink them and gain the kind of benefits everyone else was talking about.
And here Lin Yijun was, already thinking about what would happen if he took both drinks at once?
Okay, chill out, apostle of greed.
Tsk. His time would come.
He just needed to complete more missions and finally start his own journey as a cultivator!
He wasn’t going to rush it. Patience, right?
Once he became a cultivator, he could practically do whatever he wanted. After all, he owned the store, so what was stopping him from chugging as many of these drinks as he pleased?
What could go wrong?
’System, will drinking Cola and Lime Fizz at the same time cause any issues, or do the effects still work fine?’
[Indeed, Host. There will be no problem. It is not like our products are of low quality. There will be no side effects, and the effects will remain as they are intended.]
Hao relayed the information to Lin Yijun, basically copying the system’s explanation.
With a grin, Lin Yijun cupped his hands together, bowing slightly.
“Thanks, boss. I’ll make good use of this information.”
The others, who had been quietly eavesdropping, were equally thrilled. The idea that they could take both drinks at the same time and still receive the full effects was a massive advantage.
Not only would it accelerate their training, but in battle, this combo could be a game-changer!
Enhancing both focus and reaction speed without any drawbacks?
It just further cemented how incredible the products at this store were. The effects were already miraculous, and now, they were becoming utterly unbelievable!
And the storekeeper had revealed it to them like it was the most normal thing in the world.
Their speculations about Hao’s real identity grew more intense, to the point where they couldn’t even begin to fathom who – or what – Hao really was.
Before leaving, each of them made sure to express their gratitude to Hao, thanking him for the information and the amazing products. After a few polite words, they bid farewell and exited the store.
As their group stepped outside, Elder Tang Sheng and Elder Feng Yuhan immediately sent a mental transmission to their juniors.
They warned them about the Dimensional Convenience Store, stressing that no one should speak of it to anyone outside their group.
’Listen closely. Do not speak of this store to anyone. Not a word in public, not even in private to those you trust.’
’The less people know, the better.’
’If you visit, do so in silence. Ensure no one follows you.’
’Act as though the store does not exist. Do you understand?’
’This secret must be kept. If it gets out, it will bring chaos to the entire continent!’
