Chapter 130: Finally Able to Shop

She is content as long as there is water, and suddenly she wants to taste the water inside the Space, especially the Linghe Water.

She cupped both hands and tried to drink a sip.

"Hmm? So sweet."

She kept drinking several sips and immediately felt a body‑wide exhilaration, like eating hot pot in summer.

Her whole body heated up, drenched in sweat, especially the dantian, which felt like fire; according to her cultivation experience, this is Spiritual Energy filling the dantian.

She quickly sat cross‑legged, performed her technique, circulating Spiritual Energy through her meridians—one loop, two loops—nourishing the channels, the bones, and the five organs and six viscera.

Finally she returned the energy to the dantian, compressing and compressing, and like popping popcorn, a huge crack sounded; she advanced from Qi Refining Eighth Stage to Qi Refining Ninth Stage.

This was not over; Spiritual Energy lingered slowly and continuously in the dantian, and her cultivation only halted upon reaching Qi Refining Ninth Stage Great Perfection.

Qiao Mai opened her eyes and let out a long sigh.

She immediately grinned, laughing that a Spirit Stone upgraded without effort—wow, that's amazing; it seems her endless farming finally paid off with a taste of sweetness.

"Should the items be placed inside the house or in the courtyard center?"

"Is there even such a notion?"

"Sure, what kind of Linghe Water, I need to test it."

After waiting a while, the customer service tentatively asked.

If Spiritual Energy is more effective than Spirit Stone, does that mean it can be sold?

Thinking of selling, she suddenly recalled the customer's words: at Five Orders, she should be able to purchase physical items now; wow, she hurried to try.

Qiao Mai frowned; she seemed to understand the meaning: taking from the people and using for profit.

She was overjoyed; finally she could shop. Trying something else, she clicked an oil press in her cart, then clicked purchase, and the outcome surprised her.

"Sell! All five jars are sold, but I don't want Spirit Stones."

"I'll be careful; I'm now trading items from the Space on the plane to obtain the resources I need."

Qiao Mai glanced, about to say goodbye to the customer service, when the representative spoke.

"Why could I buy clothes earlier but not the oil press now? What's going on?"

"Why?"

"It's possible; I just don't have jars. Send me a few one‑pound jars, I'll fill them and then trade, how about that?"

Haha, Qiao Mai suddenly felt like crying; had she known, she wouldn't have sold or exchanged anything, just farmed daily, waiting for the Space to upgrade to sell this—what a wasted effort, even a bottle of Linghe Water sells for more Spirit Stones.

"The object is too large; your Space level is insufficient."

"How many Spirit Medicine seeds can fifty Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones buy?"

"No, why can I buy clothes but not the oil press?"

She opened the customer service page and asked, "Customer service, are you there?"

"No, I have to fill a few bottles of water first; later I'll ask the customer service how many Spirit Stones that costs."

An imagined Linghe Water seemed to descend from the sky, and ten jars of water filled instantly.

"Seeds from the first to the Fifth Orders are sold per piece; after the Fifth Order there are no seeds, you can buy ready‑made Spirit Medicine to cultivate yourself."

It not only contains abundant Spiritual Energy but also rich vitality, which can make plants grow quickly and strengthen animals.

Two thick books appeared on the table: one is the Spirit Medicine Compendium, the other is the Alchemy Manual.

"Hmm, right, today my SpaceUpgrade gave me Linghe Water; can this be sold for money?"

A flash of bright light added a tall furnace in the courtyard, reddish‑copper in color, looking quite imposing and pleasing to the eye.

"Yes. For example, if you trade too much gold from outside, causing a large loss of gold on your plane and creating an imbalance, the Platform will punish you. In short, try not to take items from your Space to earn coins abroad, and don't use the coins you earned outside to trade on the Platform; that way there's no loss. Alternatively, you can return the gold and silver you earned with your Space back to the outside, which is also permissible."

Five jars of Linghe Water vanished, and five Jade Boxes appeared on the tabletop, along with a manual.

"Then could you sell us another ten jars of Linghe Water? We can give you a Spirit Medicine Compendium, an Alchemy Manual, and a Mid‑Grade Alchemy Furnace."

"Honored guest, it seems you wish to cultivate Spirit Medicine and then learn alchemy, right?"

Just a few sips advanced nearly two stages; this Linghe Water is truly miraculous, exactly as described in the novel.

"How about adding a Spirit Medicine Cultivation Manual as well?"

"Let's trade."

"It's right at my side; I can test it now."

"This one is doable."

What should I use to hold it? She searched the Shelf in the Space and found a few empty small clay jars, each about a pound capacity.

"The higher‑grade Spirit Medicines are harvested before they mature, and the higher the grade, the rarer they are."

"The Alchemy Furnace goes in the courtyard center; the others go on the table."

"Yes."

"First‑order seeds: 680 varieties, one seed each, total cost one Medium‑Grade Spirit Stone; second‑order seeds: 590 varieties, one seed each, total cost five Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones,"

She opened it and saw it was the little garment she had shown Ling'er.

As for the novel's claim of curing a hundred poisons? Nonsense—how can a single Spiritual Energy cure a hundred poisons? What's with this international playfulness.

In the blink of an eye, ten Jade Jars appeared on the table; Qiao Mai pursed her lips, noting that using Jade Jars for water is extravagant, a hundred times finer than her cracked earthen jars.

Her excitement made her legs tremble as she sat upright before the computer; she opened the shopping platform, clicked the little garment she had long bookmarked, and placed the prepared money beside the computer.

"You're welcome. Also, I must tell you that no matter how you trade on the Platform, you must not disrupt the balance of your plane."

"Indeed, I need to earn resources for future cultivation."

"Spirit Medicine seeds, any?"

She filled five small clay jars with Linghe Water, sealed them with lids, and took them back into the house.

"No problem."

"It's fine, no problem."

Then what maximum volume of items can I buy?

One bottle for ten Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones?

One cubic meter.

Qiao Mai, recalling how novels portray Spiritual Energy as divine, flicked her little chatterbox mouth.

Third‑order seeds, 418 varieties, one seed each, total ten Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones; fourth‑order seeds, 360 varieties, one seed each, total fifteen Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones,

Fifth‑order seeds, 250 varieties, one seed each, requiring one high‑grade spirit stone; because you sell us Linghe Water and also repurchase the seeds directly, our Platform gives you a discount. With these fifty Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones you can purchase all seeds from first to fifth order. Do you have any other questions?

Then let's make the deal.

Alright.

Yes, yes,

Selling?

Understood, then let's discuss the first‑to‑fifth order seeds now.

Hehe, hehe, haha, haha

Spiritual Energy density fifty percent, a one‑jin bottle, would ten Medium‑Grade Spirit Stones be acceptable?

Qiao Mai thought, she has plenty of Linghe Water, and considering the customer service could be probing her this way, the price should be quite fair, so she replied.

Yes, honored guest, what would you like?

A flash of intense light passed, and the customer service replied.

Then what would you like?

Alright, I understand, thank you!

Clicking purchase, a bright flash from the computer blazed, the money beside it vanished, and a delicate gift box appeared.

Honored guest, the transaction is complete; we offer various Dan recipes here, and you may contact this customer service if needed.

Got it, thank you!

Wish you a pleasant day!

She doesn't need any recipes for now; gobbling a whole "fatty" at once isn't her habit, and just these items on the desk are enough for her to digest for a while.
