The Supreme God

After looking in all directions, Austin stepped into an elixir shop. It had been a while since he had worn a long robe. He skimmed through the shelves and the inner door, expecting the shopkeeper to come any minute.

But by then the preoccupied sales clerk who was busy cleaning an artifact had noticed that it was Austin.

Happy to see Austin after so long, he extended his arm in greeting.

In the last few months, Austin's recurrent visits and marked interest in expensive items had made him an important customer of the shop. One time, the sales clerk had sold what Austin just needed. In return, he was tipped a fat bonus, close to an amount that would have taken him at least five years to earn. Astounded, now he worshipped Austin and the ground he set his foot on.

Austin coming in today immensely lifted his spirits. He tried to make Austin as comfortable and welcomed as he could.

"Welcome. Warmly welcome. My distinguished guest, I've been expecting you. Please come in. My boss has been waiting for you at the back of the house.

Would you like to have something before we begin? I have prepared our best Green Dragon Tea for you. Would you like to have a cup before we go ahead?"

The salesclerk's hospitality made Austin feel extremely awkward. Shaking his head, he briskly tossed him a vital energy crystal worth one hundred.

The value of the tip had the sales clerk overjoyed. He jumped from one foot to another with an open mouth unable to express his gratitude to the benevolent spirit.

Having no patience for the clerk's words to come, Austin went straight to the back of the house. The shopkeeper had been waiting for Austin all this while and looking outside the window to while away his time.

"So, are the elixirs prepared?"

Austin spoke straight to the point. He didn't want to give him a chance to initiate any small talk.

"Yes. Assignment completed!

I will be honest here. Some elixirs listed on this sheet are beyond our capability. After all, we are just a small shop. But then I reported to the head shop of the imperial capital city and heard back from them saying that they will get all our elixirs.

The medicinal herbs should be reaching me in ten days."

The shopkeeper spoke pleasantly as he reported his happy progress.

Secretly, in his heart, Austin was exhilarated to hear this.

"Excellent! You did a wonderful job! You have helped me find my herbs and pills twice."

Austin reached out for his Space Ring and in a flash, he handed three million pieces of vital energy crystals to the shopkeeper.

Not to pause a second, Austin took out another three hundred thousand pieces of vital energy crystals as payment.
