Five Million for One Spirit Stone

Shen Jingchuan had his reasons for ordering a ready-made house from outside.

This space is constantly changing; every time a Spirit Vein is buried inside, it slowly grows and expands little by little.

In the future, he will bury more Spirit Veins inside, and this space will probably continue to move and remain so for a long time.

Building a house brick by brick inside is not impossible, but it would be too much trouble.

More importantly, the house is fixed to the ground, but the space is constantly expanding and shifting. He was truly afraid that one day the house would be torn apart and collapse.

So he simply had the entire house custom-made outside, all in one piece, so he could just put it in directly and save himself the trouble of fiddling with it inside.

Shen Jingchuan handed over all the gold and jade he had collected from Hu Tieniu to Meng Ke.

When Meng Ke saw so much gold, so many lustrous stones, she was stunned and stared at them for a long time, unable to come to her senses.

"Jingchuan, you... you didn't... you robbed some grave, did you?"

Shen Jingchuan was both amused and exasperated, and told her to relax.

"What are you thinking about? These are all things I brought back from that mysterious place. Just keep them safe and take your time selling them. There's no rush."

Meng Ke was skeptical, but she picked them up and examined them one by one, and then estimated their value based on her own judgment.

This assessment made her even more restless.

"Jingchuan, do you know how much these are worth?"

She pointed to the pile of various jade ornaments, pendants, and jewelry, and swallowed hard.

"These few pieces are all top-notch in terms of quality and craftsmanship. Each one would be worth over a hundred million. I can't calculate the exact value in a short time."

She looked at the pile of gold again.

"Add in all this gold, and I estimate that even 2 billion might not be enough to stop it; it might need 3 billion."

Meng Ke became more and more excited as she spoke, her eyes shining brightly.

"I think I don't need to do anything from now on. I can just sell these things slowly, and we'll never run out of money."

Shen Jingchuan glanced at her and smiled irritably.

"Look at your pathetic self."

With a thought, he took out a Spirit Stone from his spatial storage and placed it in her palm.

Do you know how much this Spirit Stone is worth?

Meng Ke held the warm, smooth stone and shook her head.

"This one alone is worth one hundred taels of gold and one thousand taels of silver."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ke quickly did some mental calculations.

Gold prices these days are at least 1,000 yuan per gram, and 50 grams make up one tael.

One hundred taels of gold, which is five kilograms, means that this one Spirit Stone is worth five million RMB!

After she finished calculating, she gasped, stared wide-eyed, and was speechless for a long time.

Holding the Spirit Stone, Meng Ke was still reeling from the shock when she mentally calculated another layer down.

She suddenly looked up, her eyes wide.

"If I use the Spirit Gathering Formation to cultivate every day, it will consume four or five Spirit Stones. Does that mean I'll spend over twenty million a day?"

Shen Jingchuan smiled faintly.

"Over twenty million, you think that's a lot?"

"The High-Grade Qi Nourishing Pills you take every day cost about ten Spirit Stones each."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ke's mind went blank, and she hurriedly began to calculate again.

She now needs to take three or four Qi Nourishing Pills every day, plus the consumption of the Spirit Gathering Formation, so she needs at least forty Spirit Stones a day.

Forty Spirit Stones--

She quickly calculated it in her mind and then abruptly covered her mouth.

That's two hundred million a day!

She turned her head and looked at the pile of priceless items, and a chill ran down her spine.

At this rate, all of these will probably be used up in less than a month.

"Oh my god, why didn't you tell me sooner?"

Meng Ke's face had lost all color.

"You should have told me earlier, I wouldn't have dared to use it like that."

Shen Jingchuan reached out and patted her shoulder, his tone relaxed.

"What you have is nothing."

With a thought, he took out another High-Grade Qi Condensing Pill and placed it in front of her.

"This is called Qi Condensing Pill, and it's a high-grade one. Just this one is worth several hundred Spirit Stones."

"On average, I use about a few every day."

Shen Jingchuan pointed to the pile of things on the table.

"To be honest, the value of all the pills I use in a day of cultivation might not even be enough to cover this pile."

Meng Ke's mouth was open, but she could no longer speak.

Shen Jingchuan looked at her, smiled again, and quickly added a sentence.

"Don't misunderstand, it's not that I'm unwilling to let you use the good stuff."

"You're only at the Early Stage of Qi Refining right now, so you can't use this pill yet. You'll be able to use it when you reach the Qi Refining Late Stage."

Meng Ke was completely dumbfounded. Her mind was a complete mess, and she couldn't figure it out no matter what she did.

She never imagined that her boyfriend would consume billions of dollars in a single day of cultivation.

What if we include a year?

She didn't even dare to think about that number.

Seeing her absent-minded appearance, Shen Jingchuan secretly thought to himself that something was wrong.

He quickly leaned in and kissed her on the lips.

Meng Ke still didn't react, her eyes staring blankly.

Shen Jingchuan reached out again, supported her shoulders, and gently shook her.

"Meng Ke, wake up, snap out of it."

It took Meng Ke a moment to blink and come back to her senses.

Shen Jingchuan breathed a sigh of relief.

He was really afraid that his words might have made his wife stupid.

He held Meng Ke's hand and comforted her gently.

"The items on these two sides have different values, so we can't apply this number to both."

"Don't be afraid, I have plenty of Spirit Stones. Spend them as you please, whether it's pills or Spirit Stones, I'll replenish them for you whenever you run out."

He looked at Meng Ke and said earnestly.

"Your most important task right now is to quickly improve your cultivation level."

"You're far behind me; you'd better work harder to catch up."

Meng Ke slowly came to her senses and nodded, but there was still some worry on her face.

"I... I've lost all motivation looking at these things."

Upon hearing this, Shen Jingchuan quickly waved his hand.

"Hey, don't!"

"You have to sell these things. I'm counting on you to use the money to buy me things."

He looked at Meng Ke and continued.

"Let me tell you, the value of the two sides is completely different."

As Shen Jingchuan spoke, he took out a pocket watch from his pocket.

He wanted to use this as an analogy for her, but the words caught in his throat.

If someone told her that this pocket watch could sell for two or three Spirit Stones over there, which would be over ten million, she'd probably be completely dumbfounded.

The more he thought about it, the more confused he became, so he simply put the pocket watch away.

"Forget about it, don't worry about it."

"Just know that selling these things will be a great help to me, that's all."

Shen Jingchuan pointed to the Spirit Stone in his hand.

"Think about it, who would I sell these Spirit Stones to in this world?"

"I can't even exchange some cash. This thing, you could take it on the street and sell it for ten thousand yuan and nobody would want it."

Upon hearing this, Meng Ke finally understood completely.

"You do not say."

She looked at the Spirit Stone in her hand, shook her head, let out a long sigh, and her face regained its radiance.

"Okay, I understand. I'll do whatever you say."
