"After this whole process, more than 100 pounds of stone were reduced to only 37 pounds of gold!"
"And it's because there's a nugget of gold in what we dug up! It could be that shiny piece of gold you saw before. Otherwise, out of a rock weighing over 100 pounds, you'd be lucky to get even a pound or two!"
"Don't let its small size fool you, it's surprisingly heavy!"
"Look, if you calculate it this way, we actually got more than five hundred taels of gold!"
Lin Ru sighed and rubbed her forehead in exasperation. She could only be thankful that in ancient times, one jin was equal to 16 liang! So half a jin was equal to eight liang! If it were measured using modern standards, she didn't know how much she would have lost!
In reality, all things considered, this is equivalent to losing money while making a lot of noise!
She invested more manpower and resources into this than the gold itself!
Bai Jian looked at Lin Ru's face with some embarrassment, afraid that she might faint from anger like that day. "Um! Don't be angry! Your grandfather and a few of us have already discussed it and are planning to all go out and find work!"
"After we finish our work, we'll hand over all the money to you. That should help ease our immediate financial burden."
"This way we can make up for the expenses we incurred on this trip!"
"Don't worry, the money will definitely come!"
"So please don't get angry, don't ruin your health. If you faint again like that day, your maternal grandparents probably won't be able to handle it!"
Lin Ru hadn't expected that what happened that day would cast such a long shadow over her family. She quickly composed herself, her face showing helplessness, and said with a smile, "I was indeed feeling a little unwell that day, but I've fully recovered now!"
"It is truly my unfilial act to have caused my maternal grandparents worry!"
"The reason I have this expression is because I told you all to enjoy yourselves, but I never expected to send you to such a faraway place, just for taking one last look from afar!"
Bai Jian saw his precious niece and his expression revealed his true feelings. He quickly waved his hands repeatedly!
"No! No! We're able to settle down and have enough to eat and wear now, all thanks to you!"
"Stop saying that! You didn't expect this either!"
Lin Ru: "Yes! I didn't expect it either, and neither did you at the time. Besides, I was the one who asked you to go!"
"I almost made you come all this way for nothing. I should be the one feeling guilty!"
Bai Jian: "Why are you speaking like two different people when we're all family!"
"If you say that again, your uncle will get angry!"
Lin Ru smiled, having successfully gotten her uncle under her thumb!
The two chatted for a few more minutes inside the house, and she repeatedly told them not to go out to look for work, as she had other plans, before letting Bai Jian leave!
After he left, Lin Ru closed the door tightly and focused her attention on the Taoxixi trading platform!
I need to do some serious research. Relying solely on the spiritual fruits and springs in my own space, I can't actually sell that many digital currencies!
And he plans to consume those pills himself!
But there are probably a lot of things to buy next, so I have to...
So she studied it carefully and found that there was indeed a loophole: it was an antique!
She discovered that even though the previous world was a modern world of cultivation, the wealthy families had so much money that it seemed like they couldn't spend it all. Moreover, cultivation was something that required a lot of talent and opportunity. Those people's money was poured into opportunities, but they still couldn't make any progress. So everyone thought about enjoying their lives to the fullest in the limited time they had!
Among them are many elderly people who are particularly fond of collecting antiques and rare items!
Although each of them possessed some spiritual power, they were unable to recreate the kind of things that had that sense of antiquity from the past!
Moreover, genuine antiques like these may contain other wonderful uses that ordinary people like her do not know. Otherwise, these high-ranking officials and nobles would not fight tooth and nail over an antique, and some would even use the resources of their entire families to keep such an inanimate object in their homes!
She suddenly remembered that the wealthy people in her family had also taken many bottles and jars with them when they fled!
So she quickly went into the space and started rummaging around. Finally, in a corner, she found the boxes containing vases, porcelain and other things!
However, as soon as she opened the boxes, she felt that the quantity was a bit off. This was much more than what she had seized before. Then she remembered that it was the system reward from before!
This doubled the quantity of all these things!
Thinking of this, she was overjoyed, while Xiaoyue, still somewhat weak, listlessly walked to its side!
"Master! What are you doing? Why are you taking these jars?"
Lin Ru looked at Xiao Yue and felt a pang of heartache. She squatted down and stroked its fluffy head.
"I've come up with a really good idea."
"You wait!"
"I will definitely get you a top-grade advancement pill!!"
"The kind specifically for spirit beasts!"
Xiaoyue shook her head very sensibly!
"No need, Master! You only have a little over a hundred digital coins left! With that money, you can only buy a quarter of the ordinary ones, let alone the top-quality ones!"
"Besides, these medicines of yours have other uses, so there's no need to waste them on me. My cultivation has regressed this time, and it does take some time to cultivate!"
"Don't worry!"
Lin Ru kissed Xiao Yue's fluffy head with a touch of heartache. In her heart, she cursed the Heavenly Dao a thousand times. Not only did it make her lose all her cultivation, but it also implicated Xiao Yue. Moreover, she killed so many people, yet the system did not make any move. Next time she wanted to redeem the reward, she would probably have to kill even more people!
By then, the inner demons won't be as easy to control as they are now!
Those pills are for human consumption; they would be completely useless for a spirit beast like Xiaoyue!
That's why it's been delayed for so long!
But things are much better now. As long as we can sell those antiques, we'll definitely make a fortune!
At that time, not only will we have advancement pills and pepper, but we can even produce two or three more spirit energy cannons!
Thinking of this, she released Xiaoyue's big head and continued to count the porcelain!
However, after listing all the porcelain pieces, she was troubled again!
She is now in a world within a novel, or you could say, another parallel world!
There are absolutely no records of this dynasty in their time!
That would easily make people think it's a fake!
She fell into deep thought: how should this thing be described?
