Chapter 88: Ambition
One hundred emotion points can be exchanged for one cubic meter of space.
This price sounds very cheap; it seems like you can exchange a huge amount of emotional points for this price.
actually not.
For example, if Xia Chengzong wanted to expand the space by 100 meters in length, width and height.
So the volume of this space is one million cubic meters, and it would require one hundred million emotion points.
One hundred million emotional points!
Heh, with so many emotion points, wouldn't it be better for him to save them to upgrade his supernatural abilities?
It's not that the space can't be upgraded, but upgrading the supernatural power is more cost-effective.
Of course, space upgrades are necessary, but not now.
The space is sufficient for now, so there's no need to rush to upgrade it.
Then, he looked at the second new feature.
This sky-mending stone was one of the 36,501 sky-mending stones that the goddess Nuwa refined when she mended the sky.
The goddess Nuwa used 36,500 pieces to mend the sky, but this one piece was left unused and eventually ended up on earth.
According to the novel *Dream of the Red Chamber*, the stone that mended the heavens had a sudden surge of worldly desires and its first stop on earth was the Rongguo Mansion, where it was born alongside Jia Baoyu.
But that's not actually the case.
It's important to know that the two characters who appear at the beginning of the Dream of the Red Chamber story are Zhen Shiyin and Jia Yucun.
The truth is hidden, while falsehoods remain. When the truth is concealed, and falsehoods are told enough, they become the truth.
The magical jade has many hidden stories that have never been mentioned.
Its first stop was actually Mount Jing, which was in the Spring and Autumn Period.
Later, it was discovered by Bian He, who presented it to King Wen of Chu. It was then carved into a jade disc, which became known as the He Shi Bi (He's Jade Disc).
After several transfers, it finally arrived at the Rongguo Mansion, where it was born alongside Jia Baoyu, and ultimately ended up in the hands of Xia Chengzong.
The Spirit Jade was originally a spatial treasure; when it entered the mortal world, it concealed many treasures within it.
Its new feature is the opening of a shopping mall, where you can use emotion points to redeem goods!
What are the features of the online store?
Upon seeing this, Xia Chengzong became excited.
For a long time, this magical jade existed in the form of the Imperial Seal of the State.
It must have received many good things.
Now, you can redeem it using emotion points.
This filled Xia Chengzong with anticipation.
He quickly opened the online store's redemption catalog and began browsing the items available for redemption.
He saw that the goods were divided into two sections: one was the item section, and the other was the elixir section.
Xia Chengzong first opened the item area and saw that the first item was the Tai'a Sword, which cost 100,000 emotion points to exchange.
The second is the Kunwu Sword, which costs 100,000 emotion points to exchange.
The third is Seven Star Dragon Abyss, which costs 100,000 Emotion Points to exchange.
……
The first hundred were all divine weapons, and Xia Chengzong had been familiar with the names of some of them since childhood.
Some of these divine weapons have been lost, while others have no clear record.
The fact that they are now all on the exchange list indicates that these divine weapons have been secretly collected by the Spirit Jade.
Besides divine weapons, there were also various gold and silver jewelry, famous paintings and antiques.
These treasures were so numerous and dazzling that he couldn't take his eyes off them.
In addition to these, books can also be redeemed.
He set aside the precious objects and began to peruse books.
He saw many rare and unique books, as well as secret historical records and so on.
There are also martial arts manuals, and lost Taoist and Buddhist scriptures.
However, no cultivation method for immortality was found.
This greatly disappointed him.
That's it?
The mighty Stone that mended the heavens, it collected treasures from the human world?
With his current status and abilities, he will soon possess a vast fortune.
How many of those antiques and treasures, those secret manuals and books could one possibly obtain?
Do I need to use points to redeem it?
If that's all there is to it, what use are you to me?
Xia Chengzong couldn't help but browse through the pill section, hoping to find some miraculous elixirs.
In the elixir section, the top-ranked item is a thousand-year-old ginseng, which can be exchanged for 100,000 emotion points.
The second item is the Millennium Snow Lotus, which costs 100,000 Emotion Points to exchange.
……
The first fifty items are all rare and precious herbs, including the Nine Immortal Herbs.
However, while these herbs are precious, they can still be purchased if you have the money.
These are not what he needs.
By the fiftieth item, it was no longer herbs, but elixirs.
Its name is Antidote Pill, which can cure 99% of poisons in the mortal world, and it costs 50,000 emotion points.
From then on, it was all about various kinds of elixirs.
Beauty pills, bone-strengthening pills, and other similar products.
These elixirs come in all shapes and sizes, and are quite varied.
Some are for beauty, some for strengthening bones, some for tonifying the kidneys, and some for treating various diseases.
These pills are very useful; for example, antidotes can even save lives when necessary.
However, there was no miraculous medicine as he had imagined, which greatly disappointed Xia Chengzong.
This online store is really disappointing!
However, he possessed keen insight and quickly came up with two details.
The first detail is that the explanation of the antidote pill is that it can cure 99% of poisons in the mortal world.
If there is a mortal world, is there also a world of cultivation?
The second detail is that he currently only has a little over 100,000 emotional points.
The highest price for any item in the store is 100,000 points.
Is it because he doesn't have enough emotional value that items worth more than 100,000 aren't displayed?
Or is it the highest-value item in the store, worth 100,000 emotion points?
Xia Chengzong felt that the first guess was more reliable.
After all, this Sky-Mending Stone had been with the Goddess Nuwa, so how could it not have any good stuff inside?
Next, Xia Chengzong directly inquired about the Sky-Mending Stone.
Ask it if having a higher emotion value allows you to view and purchase more items.
Ask it if it has any cultivation techniques or miraculous elixirs.
Soon, the Sky-Mending Stone responded.
You'll know when your emotional threshold is reached!
She's quite arrogant!
But this answer undoubtedly tells him indirectly that yes!
This further strengthened Xia Chengzong's determination to seize the throne.
Only by successfully becoming the emperor can one earn a large amount of emotional points.
Only then can one exchange for cultivation techniques and miraculous elixirs.
Yes, there are also upgrade entries and expansion of the Spirit Jade space.
There are more and more places where I need to spend my emotional points in the future. It's like a bottomless pit that devours my emotional points, and there's never enough to go around.
……
A few days later, Lin Ruhai was about to leave Beijing for Yangzhou to assume his post.
After hesitating for a moment, Xia Chengzong gritted his teeth and exchanged two antidote pills from the shop.
Then he went to the Lin residence, and in the study where the two were alone, he handed the two antidote pills to Lin Ruhai.
"Uncle Lin, these two antidote pills can cure all poisons. Keep them safe for when you need them."
"These two pills are extremely precious and can no longer be refined, so please do not give them to outsiders."
"We might not even need it, but Uncle Lin should keep it with him just in case."
Lin Ruhai and his wife treated him extremely well.
Lin Daiyu especially loved playing with him.
Jia Min is now pregnant and will soon be going south with Lin Ruhai.
