First customer

[Your first potential costumer has entered the store.]

Zan's gaze then shifted from the system notification to the door which opened slowly.

"Hello?" A voice said, it was the voice of the young youth who entered the shop. He wore a blue robe with an dragon emblem on it, he also wore a jade necklace and had a scar on his left cheek. His hair was tied into a pony tail and his eyes looked quite fierce, yet he behaved quite humble.

"Oh hello! What can I do for you?" Zan asked with a smile. The boy looked at Zan and said:

"Excuse me senior, but this junior doesn't know what your store has for sale."

While the boy spoke, he noticed these weird buds that were in glass jars.

"Oh, uhm… These are my own herbs, I sell them for quite the good price! Right now, you can buy 20 grams of Blue Dream for 10 high grade spirit stones." Zan said with an smile while pointing at the Blue Dream strain.

But as soon as he said it, the young boys eyes widened, he then asked:

"10-10 high grade spirit stones for just 20 grams ?" The boy was confused, however he did not dare to offend the senior in front of him. Though, he couldn't detect any cultivation the boy knew that it was either because he used something to conceal his cultivation, or because the man in front of him long surpassed hs threshold.

"Oh, its something you have never seen before I am quite sure of it. How about this, 1 will sell you 1 gram for 1 high grade spirit stone and if you like it you can still get the sale." Zan said while taking out a bud and putting in on the fine scale.

"Y-Yes, I agree. Oh my name is Yun Lang by the way." Yun Lang said, however in the back of his mind he had one thought.

'One spirit stone is a good trade for the favorability of the senior.' He didn't expect anything good from the so called "Blue Dream" plant but it could play into his favor if he could befriend the man behind the counter.

"Alright boy, here's your gram." Zan said and handed the gram over, but when Yun Lang was about to reach for it…

"Wait!" Zan shouted out loud and then added:

"You probably don't know how to properly use it." Zan then took out a booklet with long papers and tips.

Yun Lang was in confusion and then looked at the small booklet that Zan handed over to him, and then asked:

"Uhm, sir… What is that?"

Zan chuckled, and then explained to Yun Lang how to properly roll a joint and that he has to smoke it for it to be effective.

"Oh, so, to sum it up. One needs to smoke it for it to be effective and the more THC the stronger the effect ?" Yun Lang asked while looking at his newly self rolled joint, which looked quite solid for a beginner.

Zan nodded and then added:

"Yes, there's also tobacco paper which you can build a blunt with. Blunts are longer lasting than Joints however, Joints are easier to carry and more convenient." Yun Lang nodded and then said, thank you Mr.Zan! Just when he was about to leave the shop, Zan stopped him and then took out out a clipper and asked:

"Don't you need a lighter ?" Yun Lang then looked at him, and then responded:

"Why would I need a lighter ?" Then he snapped with his fingers and a small fire appeared on his palms. Zan's eyes widened…

"Oh yeah, my bad. Goodbye, I hope you will recommend my shop!" Yun Lang then bowed once and then left.

"Holy shit was that magic ? Or some sort of martial power ?" Zan said to himself and then looked at his hands, but then when he started to imagine a small flame…

TSCHHHH

"What?!" As soon as he imagined a small fire, a small flame began to form in his hand palm. However, it was a different color, it was a black one…

"Maybe this cultivation thing is better than I thought…" Zan murmured to himself when he sat down on the couch and lit up a joint…

—

Primordial Dragon sect…

Inside of a grand mansion, there was a young youth about 17 years old. He had a joint in his hand and, of course, it was none other than Yun Lang. The heir of the Primordial Dragon Bloodline of the Lang family, and elite disciple of the Primordial Dragon sect. A Soul Core, cultivator and one of the top 10 talents in the Onyx Dragon Empire.

'Mr.Zan said that I should light it up and then inhale it, but each hit shouldn't be too strong since I am a "rookie" okay, lets go…' Yun Lang then lit up the joint and began to smoke his joint.

COUGH

"Ahem.. Urgh my throat, what the hell Mr.Zan said that it my throat might be sensitive to it but I did not expect that." Yun Lang said to himself, and slowly he began get used to it, since he started to take lighter hits.

After 10 minutes or so, Yan Lang felt a sensation in his body. He felt somehow calm and his state of mind was also in peace. It was similar to a ocean which had no ripples, waves or any disruptions. And for some reason he felt enlightened.

Since his state of mind was in such a peace he felt like cultivating, and as soon as he did his body began to glow. His soul core began to glow…

'T-This, I have an epiphany… I am breaking through!'

He kept on going and suddenly his sea of consciousness began to wrap around his soul core…

BANG!

His soul core which was wrapped in by his sea of consciousness, began to crack…

And it did not stop there, it kept going… until…

'Soul Shattering! I have surpassed the top 10 and entered a different threshold!' Yun Lang shouted in his head, he then opened his eyes as he began to calm down. This sensation was something he would have never expected… and all of it was related to the so called "weed" which he bought from the mysterious shop…

"Qi gathering, Qi Condensing, Qi Shattering, Core Formation, Sea Core, Soul core, Soul Sea Core, Soul Shattering, Ocean Reconstruction, Earth Reconstruction, Sky Reconstruction, Heaven Reconstruction, and Realm Shattering…

I just skipped a whole major realm and did not experience any inner demon… My cultivation base is not damaged whatsoever…

This weed… I need to get more of it!"

"Mr.Zan, you must be some type of god to sell such heavenly herbs! I need to smoke more weed!" Yun Lang shouted as he stormed out of his mansion. As he stormed out, his servants looked at him in confusion…

"Whats wrong with young master Yun…"

"I don't know… maybe he just had a breakthrough!"

"What could excite the young master so much for him to be running like this ?"

"Damn, I am faded…"
