Just as Bai Qingqing was feeling down, Yun Zhan came to visit.
Upon hearing that they were from the Cloud Auction House, Bai Qingqing immediately perked up.
Someone has come to help spend spirit stones.
There's nothing she can do; she's still carrying over 300,000 yuan in debt.
We'll pay back whatever we can, however little we can.
What right does a person in debt have to fuss over trivial matters?
Yun Zhan really didn't come empty-handed.
He carried a low-grade spiritual artifact—the Mirror Heart Platform.
This is Yun Zhan's second visit since he had barbecue here last time.
He would love to come every day.
But since we're not familiar with each other yet, I felt bad coming empty-handed.
Ordinary things are not presentable.
Although a low-grade spiritual weapon is not considered impressive by Bai Qingqing, it is still considered top-tier in this world.
After all, there are only a dozen or so Heavenly Grade Spiritual Artifacts in total.
Another reason was that he wanted to wait for his grandfather, Yun Yue, to arrive so they could visit together.
However, Yun Yue's teleportation went awry, and he randomly ended up in a forbidden area in the Southern Wilderness Continent. This didn't trap him, but he did manage to engage in a major battle with the Star Moon Sect.
Yun Yue obtained a decent spiritual medicine in the forbidden area, and suddenly had a whimsical idea to venture into several more forbidden areas.
Join in worship.
We haven't even reached Tianyuan City yet.
So this whole ordeal took several days.
"Miss Bai, I apologize for disturbing you." Yun Zhan adopted a very humble posture, smiling like a flower.
"I won't bother you," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
Although I had seen it once before, I was still amazed when I saw it again.
Riding a horse, leaning against a slanting bridge, surrounded by red sleeves beckoning from the tower.
This ancient poem about the blue planet finally came to life with a concrete image at this moment.
Even my gloomy mood has improved a lot.
Indeed, beautiful things always bring joy.
"I came in a hurry last time and didn't bring any gifts. I am very grateful to Miss Bai for not minding and for treating me to a delicious meal."
As Yun Zhan spoke, he took out a box: "This is a Grade Earth Spiritual Artifact, the Mirror Heart Platform, which I'm giving to Miss Bai to cheer her up."
Upon hearing the words "earth-grade spiritual artifact," Bai Qingqing was overjoyed.
Last time I bought a low-grade spiritual artifact, the Amethyst Fire Fan, at the Cloud Auction House for 50,000 high-grade spirit stones.
This shows that earth-grade spiritual artifacts are quite valuable.
Sure enough, the price listed in the spirit stone ledger was 70,000.
It was higher than Bai Qingqing had expected.
If Yun Zhan weren't a man, Bai Qingqing would have rushed over and given him a big hug.
It's like a pillow just when you're feeling sleepy.
Good bro!
"Seventy thousand high-grade spirit stones." Bai Qingqing took the box, and then with a wave of her slender hand, a mountain of high-grade spirit stones appeared beside Yun Zhan.
Yun Zhan felt another urge to cry.
Why should a powerful being be able to bring their entire fortune with them when they come to this world?
And yet I came into this world naked and will leave it with no attachments?
My heart is heavy.
"Miss Bai has misunderstood. This mirror stand is a gift for you." Yun Zhan hurriedly waved his hand.
“Your auction house is a business, and besides, a low-grade spiritual artifact is quite valuable. I can’t accept something for nothing,” Bai Qingqing said righteously.
Seeing that Yun Zhan was about to say something, Bai Qingqing deliberately put on a stern face: "If Young Master Yun does not accept it, please forgive me for not being able to accept it either."
"In that case, I shall respectfully comply." Yun Zhan waved his hand and put away the high-grade spirit stone.
Bai Qingqing then smiled.
But after glancing at the negative 310,334 in the spirit stone ledger, he couldn't laugh anymore.
They still have over 300,000 yuan in debt.
Back when I was on Earth, I owned a house and a car, and had plenty of savings. When had I ever been in debt?
Today I finally get to experience what it's like to be a mortgage slave or a car slave.
I am a slave to the spirit stone.
The task is arduous and the road ahead is long.
"Is something troubling you, Miss Bai?" Yun Zhan asked boldly.
"It's nothing." Bai Qingqing came back to her senses. People might not believe her if she told them about her troubles with money, and they might even curse Versailles.
"By the way, what attribute does this Mirror Heart Platform have?" Bai Qingqing changed the subject and asked.
"This is not an offensive or defensive magical artifact, so it doesn't have any specific attributes," Yun Zhan explained. "It's a training platform."
"A testing ground?" Bai Qingqing played with the palm-sized crystal and asked curiously, "How do you use it?"
"With just a little spiritual power, it can be transformed into a five-meter-long platform." Yun Zhan continued, "The Mirror Heart Platform will create a mirror image of the person who steps onto the platform to provide sparring. The strength of this mirror image will be ten percent higher than that of the original person."
"Why does this sound so familiar?" Bai Qingqing tossed the Mirror Heart Platform to Yun Zhan and said, "Please trouble Young Master Yun to activate it."
The cultivation system she follows is different from that of others in this world.
Without spiritual roots, there is naturally no spiritual power.
Yun Zhan took it and smiled awkwardly: "Um... I don't have a spiritual root, so I can't activate it."
Bai Qingqing was taken aback, then felt a surge of warmth, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she smiled: "You don't have any spiritual roots either."
Then he realized that he looked a bit gloating, so he quickly sat up straight and said, "Don't misunderstand, I didn't mean to laugh at you."
“Actually, I don’t have any spiritual roots either,” Bai Qingqing added.
Yun Zhan knew, of course, that Bai Qingqing had no spiritual root. After all, how could a peerless expert possibly possess such a low-level thing?
But then he suddenly remembered what Wukong had said about "cultivating the mortal mind," so he adopted a posture of sympathy for Wukong.
"We are both wanderers in this world, why should we need to have known each other before?" Bai Qingqing said.
"Miss Bai's words are truly insightful." Yun Zhan praised her first, then handed the Mirror Heart Platform to Yun Yan: "Activate it."
"Yes." Yun Yan took it, tossed it forward, and simultaneously infused it with a wisp of spiritual energy.
The Mirror Platform instantly transformed into a five-meter-long testing platform.
"Yun Yan, go up and test it out for Miss Bai," Yun Zhan instructed again.
"Yes." Yun Yan leaped through the transparent barrier of the Mirror Heart Platform and appeared on the round platform at one end.
He shrank considerably.
On the other end, a person who looked exactly like Yun Yan quickly materialized, except that he was wearing different colored clothes.
For easy distinction.
Yunyan and the illusion quickly clashed, engaging in a fierce battle.
Various magical skills and artifacts, like dazzling fireworks, along with various stylish movements, make for a truly spectacular show.
Bai Qingqing watched with great interest.
It feels like watching video games back on Earth.
"What realm is Yun Yan at?" Bai Qingqing asked casually while staring intently at him.
"The Realm of Creation," Yun Zhan replied.
"Such a young Creation Realm expert?" Bai Qingqing was surprised for a moment, then exclaimed, "As expected of the Yun family of Central Continent, they truly produce many talented individuals."
Although the illusion's combat power was 10% higher than Yun Yan's, it was not a real person after all, and it was a bit too rigid.
So in the end, Yunyan emerged victorious.
After the battle ended, Yun Yan automatically left the Mirror Heart Platform.
"This Mirror Heart Platform is indeed a good spiritual treasure for trials." Bai Qingqing nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "What happens if the trial participant loses?"
“You will be expelled, but your life will not be in danger,” Yun Zhan said.
"Oh." Bai Qingqing nodded: "That's alright. I'll call my brothers, and even Wukong and the Bull Demon King, to come and try it out later."
This way, they can hone their skills and improve their abilities, while I can also watch the game from the sidelines.
From then on, I had another pastime.
Just thinking about it makes me feel wonderful.
"Miss Bai, I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it," Yun Zhan asked, seizing the opportunity.
"What's the problem?" Bai Qingqing asked Yun Zhan.
"As far as I know, the Taiji Divine Clan doesn't have surnames. Why do you call it the Bull Demon King?" Yun Zhan asked.
"Oh, Wukong and the Bull Demon King are both characters from Journey to the West. I just borrowed their names," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
"Journey to the West?" Yun Zhan was taken aback.
"It's just a legendary world, don't take it seriously," Bai Qingqing said with a smile.
The legendary world?
Yun Zhan's expression immediately became serious.
The Three Thousand Worlds consist of countless low-level worlds, mid-level worlds, and nine high-level worlds.
He had always believed that the advanced world was the pinnacle of the three thousand worlds.
Could there be more above that?
However, there is no record of it in any historical records or ancient books.
