Looking at the three-meter-long jade bamboo in front of me, shimmering with five-colored divine light.
These colorful, dazzling treasures, like jewels, are generally appealing to women. But Lin Yu said, "If it were me, I'd be tacky too and like them."
Lin Yu touched the bamboo with both hands. It wasn't rough like bamboo at all; instead, it was warm and smooth like jade, as delicate as the skin of a newborn baby. He could even feel a slight flow of energy as he gently stroked it with his fingertips.
And things with the word "fairy" in their names are rare in this era.
Lin Yu examined it carefully, pondering how to make use of it.
After looking at it from all angles, he realized that it seemed to be only good as a slightly higher-grade walking stick in his hands.
[Ding~ Five Elements Immortal Bamboo]
[Quality: Fourth Tier]
[Description: Containing the power of the five elements, it is the perfect material for refining spiritual treasures]
[Value: 500,000 points]
Are you selling this?
Lin Yu scanned the Chat Group and saw some basic information about the bamboo.
However, when it came time to quote the final price, Lin Yu exclaimed that the Chat Group was full of unscrupulous merchants.
The cheapest item of the same Fourth Tier in the store costs one million, but he only charges 500,000 points for this Chat Group. You can imagine how greedy he is.
The thought of this pained Lin Yu; he had sold quite a few things in the past.
Look at all the magical techniques he sold in the mall; they've all increased tenfold in value.
This reveals just how much the system has taken. This unscrupulous Chat Group drives the price down drastically when buying in, and then raises it wildly when selling.
The magical techniques he created using the Primordial True Explanation of Little Dot's world over the past few days only earned him tens to hundreds of points each time he uploaded them.
Keep in mind that his total points are only a little over 20,000.
He had been working day and night to create treasures, but he had only sold a small amount. Now, with just a tap of his hand, he could immediately earn 500,000 points. Lin Yu hurriedly pressed down on his trembling right hand.
If you sell it and want to buy it back, it will cost more than 500,000. This Chat Group might sell for 5 million.
Lin Yu couldn't refine the bamboo for the time being, but he also had nowhere to store it. This Chat Group was very arrogant; unless it sold an item, it wasn't qualified to be stored in its storage space.
Lin Yu dared not leave this treasure in his room; if it were stolen, he would have nowhere to turn for help.
The first storage method that Lin Yu thought of was the Seventy-Two Transformations Grotto-Heaven, which can create space within an object and contain all things.
Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately rummaged through his room and found a gourd, the most suitable object he could find—easy to carry and good-looking.
I originally wanted to make a ring like in the novel, but I didn't have one, so I had to settle for this gourd instead.
As Lin Yu unleashed his supernatural powers, his fingertips shimmered with spiritual light, and the gourd gradually became covered in runes.
"With me as the pivot, I will create a new world!"
He gave a low shout, and the runes disappeared into the gourd like stardust. The gourd trembled slightly with a buzz, and a warm glow emanated from it before gradually fading away.
"It's done!"
Lin Yu eagerly picked up the gourd and shouted "Collect!" at the immortal bamboo.
"..."
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened.
"Retract! Retract, retract, retract!" Lin Yu chanted repeatedly, refusing to believe it, but it still had no effect.
He immediately focused his attention on the gourd, wondering if it had succeeded or not.
As a result, he found that the gourd only had a space about the size of his arm, which was completely insufficient to hold the immortal bamboo.
His cultivation level is too low right now; the space he can create is at most half a meter in size.
"Damn it!" After realizing what had happened, Lin Yu blushed, feeling like a clown, and stood there awkwardly trying to hide his embarrassment.
Having no other option, Lin Yu could only try to chat with others.
Lin Yu originally wanted to buy a storage ring from Xiao Yan's world in the Chat Group, but considering its unscrupulous nature, he decided to contact Xiao Yan directly in the group.
[Lin Yu: @Xiao Yan, bro, do you have any spare storage rings you can sell me?]
Seeing that there was business to be done, Xiao Yan responded very quickly.
[Xiao Yan: Yes, I have junior high, senior high, and three levels. Which one do you want?]
[Lin Yu: A basic one is enough. The item isn't very big; it'll suffice.]
Lin Yu recalled the size of the storage rings; it seemed that even the basic ones were about three or four square meters.
[Xiao Yan: Okay, they sell it for 50 points in the Chat Group, I'll just take 20 from you, how about that?]
Seeing that it was cheaper than the Chat Group, Lin Yu readily agreed. Although he knew Xiao Yan had earned four times the profit, he felt it was Xiao Yan's right to earn it.
They can't just give it away for free, nor can they sell it for five points, because ultimately the Chat Group lowered the price when they were buying it.
It's absolutely impossible to buy it with five points.
With the money exchanged for the goods, Lin Yu now had an ordinary ring in his hand.
Afterwards, he also explored and planted his own soul imprint on the storage ring.
At this point, he could also sense the space inside the storage ring, and as long as he attached his soul to an object, he could store it inside.
"Receive"
Lin Yu silently recited the mantra, and the fairy bamboo beside him disappeared as well.
"Um!?"
"Holy shit!"
Just when Lin Yu thought he had it all sorted out, the storage ring on his palm suddenly made a "clicking" sound.
Finally, to Lin Yu's astonishment, it broke in two.
The immortal bamboo that had been taken inside reappeared in its original position.
My 20 points!!
Lin Yu stared at this scene in astonishment.
[Item: Broken Storage Ring]
[Details: Because it bore more than it should have, it burst.]
There's no other way but to buy a new one.
[Lin Yu: Xiao Yan, do you have any higher-level storage rings? My old one is broken.]
[Xiao Yan: The quality of the items I sell you is the best; there's no way there will be any problems.]
Xiao Yan realized that he had only sold the item less than two minutes ago, and things had gone wrong. He quickly explained the situation in the Chat Group, otherwise he was afraid he wouldn't be able to sell anything in the future.
[Lin Yu: Don't worry, bro, this is my own problem. There's nothing wrong with your stuff.]
Lin Yu wasn't there to cause trouble; on the contrary, he wanted to buy more.
To solve the problem once and for all, Lin Yu directly bought the highest-grade Spirit Naitem.
Actually, he was worried that if he bought everything from the beginner level to the advanced level, he might not be able to fit all the bamboo in the bag, so he might as well just buy the best one.
Lin Yu sat on the bed, then, still feeling uneasy, he immersed his consciousness into his body, arriving at a small space.
As his consciousness probed deeper, Lin Yu saw that the Five-Colored Immortal Bamboo was placed securely inside, and he felt relieved.
This is the Spirit Naitem he just bought with two thousand points.
Since the Spirit Naitem Storage can even store raging Heavenly Flame, it must be quite sturdy. Lin Yu felt a pang of regret and indulged in it for a while.
Having resolved the issue of storing the immortal materials, Lin Yu closed his eyes and began cultivating with peace of mind.
It should be known that immortal materials of this caliber usually possess their own spiritual energy, let alone one produced by the system.
In the short time that it had been exposed to the outside world, Lin Yu's room was already filled with spiritual energy.
Now that he had no worries, Lin Yu began to absorb the nutrients as quickly as possible.
Soon, as time passed, the sky gradually darkened.
Hoo~
Lin Yu finally finished absorbing the abundant Spiritual Power in the room; this was the most satisfying spiritual energy he had ever absorbed.
It was even more exhilarating than going to the "desolate" world. That time, because the world was different and the laws were different, Lin Yu was very careful when he inhaled.
Unlike this time, Lin Yu really got his fill.
Looking at the dimly lit room, Lin Yu realized it was already evening.
He then saw Mary, who was lying on the table, breastfeeding it; she was fast asleep.
Lin Yu went over and took a piece of clothing to cover her up.
"Hmm~"
Perhaps the position was uncomfortable; Mary was a light sleeper, and her thin clothes woke her up.
She rubbed her eyes groggily, still not realizing what she was doing.
