It can only be said that God probably favors her. Although she lost her parents at a young age before transmigrating into the book, she was not lacking in love at all. Others have parental love, and although Jiang Lai did not have biological parents, she had plenty of adoptive parents, four or five pairs, all of whom doted on her. She was not afraid of the 1970s. Liu Aihua and Jiang Bolin also doted on her. It's just that Jiang Lai herself sometimes felt guilty.
Then we come to Su Erniu's cheat ability. If Su Erniu hadn't had malicious intentions and insisted on dragging her into the river to scheme against the original owner, the original owner wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't have come. If she hadn't come, she wouldn't have had her finger cut during the struggle, and she wouldn't have obtained that portable space.
The result is that Jiang Lai got a super cheat ability, and Su Erniu also got a cheat ability she wanted, which was something Su Erniu had dreamed of in her previous life.
What did Su Erniu want most in her past life? It was money and beauty. And in her current space, there are gold and silver treasures left by the previous owner, as well as a piece of ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow that can produce three drops of spiritual milk a day.
Su Erniu was able to give Shi Cheng a big bag of things and 500 yuan before, and today she was able to buy meat and cook something delicious because she sold the gold ingots in her space.
Just now, Jiang Lai said that Su Erniu's skin had become fairer and her lip color had improved, suspecting that she had applied powder and lipstick. Actually, no, she had drunk the spiritual milk produced by the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow.
Jiang Lai was able to discover Su Erniu's space because of this ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow. Jiang Lai discovered Su Erniu's space under the guidance of a traitor within the jade marrow's space.
Don't ask, the answer is that the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has dissipated, and the rare treasure of the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow is about to be exhausted. So, the moment Jiang Lai's spiritual power entered Su Erniu's space, the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow ran away and, like a con artist, stuck to Jiang Lai and entered Jiang Lai's space.
Jiang Lai didn't care whether the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow ran away or not. Su Erniu had a blood feud with this body, and Jiang Lai was happy to do anything to upset Su Erniu.
Therefore, when the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow ran into her space, Jiang Lai didn't immediately deal with it. Instead, she swept all the items in Su Erniu's space. As for Su Erniu, Jiang Lai didn't care whether doing so was immoral. It was already a good thing that she didn't kill Su Erniu directly.
Jiang Lai didn't intend to keep these things for herself; she planned to donate them directly. In 1970, the country was developing rapidly, so let these gold and silver treasures contribute to the development of China's national strength.
As for this space, Jiang Lai has to go back and think of a way to get rid of it. In any case, she doesn't want to see Su Erniu reach the pinnacle of life by relying on this space.
Su Erniu is the kind of person who doesn't care about other people's lives in order to achieve her own goals. When she had nothing, she caused the original owner's death. Who knows what she might do when she becomes rich and powerful through the space in the future.
Of course, Jiang Lai's reason for wanting to destroy Su Erniu's space wasn't so noble. Although that reason might have played a part, her main motivation was to seek justice for the original owner, since the original owner had truly lost her life.
Jiang Lai thought that if the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow could easily travel from this space to her space, then there must be some connection between the two spaces that she was unaware of. Perhaps the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow was the spirit of the two spaces.
In fact, Jiang Lai's guess was completely correct. The ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow really was a weapon spirit. The weapon refiner did create this large space as a secret realm to enhance his disciple's strength, but that did not prevent his disciple from leaving himself a way out.
The weapon refiner's heart is truly for his sect and his disciples, and he also genuinely wants to leave himself a way out, fearing betrayal. Therefore, the weapon refiner placed the rare and precious 10,000-year-old jade marrow, unknown to others, in a small personal space, which also became a weapon spirit. When necessary, the weapon refiner can control this large secret realm space through the weapon spirit.
To be honest, it wasn't what Jiang Lai had guessed. At first, Jiang Lai thought that she was able to enter Su Erniu's space because her space was the one with control, but she never expected it to be the other way around.
After Jiang Lai swept away Su Erniu's space and returned to her own space, she learned about everything from the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow, and was a little dumbfounded.
Jiang Lai was really curious as to why the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow would help her instead of following Su Erniu's lead and taking over her secret realm space.
Isn't this quite different from the weapon refiner's original idea? And what is the reason for doing this with the chalcedony? What benefits does it bring?
Looking at the milky white lake that had suddenly appeared in her space, which was clearly no ordinary lake and was shrouded in mist, Jiang Lai thought to herself and asked the question.
"Of course, it's because that person's character is bad. He's selfish, greedy, and vicious; his soul is rotten and stinking. I would never acknowledge such a person as my master." A rectangular piece of milky-white jade rose from the milky-white lake, and the voice came from there.
"Isn't that a bit much? You, a spirit, have the right to choose your master? Besides, you could only produce three drops of spirit milk in Su Erniu's space, but now the entire lake is full of spirit milk. Why don't you explain this?" Jiang Lai said calmly, observing everything before her.
"Why are you asking so many questions? It's just because I don't think Su Erniu is a good person and I don't want to let her have her way. Now you're the one who got the benefit, and aren't you acting like a hypocrite, as you humans would say?"
"Whether it's like this or not isn't up to you to decide. You went to great lengths to come to my secret realm, where you used to only produce three drops of spiritual milk a day, but now you've produced an entire lake. Do you dare say that this isn't the reason you came to my secret realm?" Jiang Lai wasn't stupid; she could make up most of the details just by looking at the situation.
As a result, this ancient jade marrow refused to admit it: "Of course not, this has always been here, it has been accumulated for tens of thousands of years. The reason why Su Erniu was able to get three drops of spiritual milk was because I had too much spiritual milk and it overflowed, which is why it was so cheap for her."
"Then it makes no sense to you. You said your spiritual milk is constantly accumulating, which means your spiritual milk is produced every day. Since you can't accumulate it and it's about to overflow, then Su Erniu couldn't have only received three drops a day, but would have received more and more each day. So you're lying."
Jiang Lai then said, "You'd better think it through before you answer me. You should know that I have the ability to throw you out of my secret realm, so to be honest, I can still keep you here."
Jiang Lai said this because she had tested it beforehand. Now, she completely controls this secret realm space, so what she said earlier is true. If she doesn't want to, this ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow, no matter how rare or precious, is useless. Jiang Lai can throw it out at any time.
After a long while, the ten-thousand-year-old jade marrow honestly said, "Because this world has no spiritual energy left, the spiritual energy in the space has also been exhausted, and my true form is here."
Jade Essence briefly explained the situation to Jiang Lai, and Jiang Lai quickly understood. In other words, in a world with abundant spiritual energy, weapon refiners can control the secret realm space through the weapon spirit, because the weapon spirit recognizes him as its master, and the weapon spirit's true body is not afraid of it betraying it in the secret realm space.
However, we are now in the Dharma-ending Age, and there is no spiritual energy left. The jade marrow is almost depleted. What it said about gathering spiritual milk is only half true. Gathering spiritual milk is indeed true, but it is not overflowing. Rather, it is about to run out of its own. It can no longer return to the jade marrow's original form. As a spirit, it will eventually perish without a vessel.
Giving Su Erniu the spiritual milk was also intended to attract the attention of Jiang Lai and Su Erniu, and to slowly guide them to discover that the other also has a space. In any case, no matter who discovers it first, it can return to its original body with its last bit of power.
“I don’t care whether what you’re saying is true or not, I’ll only ask you one question: do you want to stay in my secret realm?” Jiang Lai asked.
“Of course, otherwise why would I go through all that trouble?” Chalcedony replied.
Jiang Lai laughed: "Sure, you can stay in my secret realm, as long as you acknowledge me as your master, the kind where I am your master and you are your servant."
"Why should I, a dignified spirit, be treated like a mere mortal? I have lived for hundreds of thousands of years, while you have only lived for a few years," Jade Marrow said resentfully.
"You know I'm just a mortal. I won't live for many years. Look, I'm already 20 years old. Even if I live to be 100, I only have 80 years left to live. It's just a blink of an eye for you, isn't it? Once I die, you'll be free. As long as you acknowledge me as your master, you can stay in this space. Isn't that a great deal?"
"No way! How can I, a spirit of a vessel, acknowledge a mere mortal as my master? People would laugh their heads off if they found out. Besides, if I acknowledge you as my master and become your servant, I have to obey you. If you tell me to go east and I can't go west, how can I save face?"
"Since you don't want to, then you can leave, but you can't take your main body with you," Jiang Lai said with a smile, seemingly unaffected by Yu Sui's words.
"How could you do this? Sending me out is like watching me die! How can you be so heartless?"
"Then you should acknowledge me as your master. It's only been a few decades. You've lived for hundreds of thousands of years. What's a little time to worry about? Besides, if you don't tell anyone that you want me to be your master, who will know? Think about it. We're in the Dharma-ending Age now. Your old friends might be long gone. If you live to the end, you'll be able to laugh at the world. Even if they find out, what good will it do? They won't even have the chance to laugh at you anymore."
"How could you, you mortal, be so wicked? How could your words be so captivating?"
