While Zhao Xu was lamenting the missed opportunity for immortality.
Li Qingzhao, having left the Imperial Palace, transformed into a stream of light and returned to her boudoir.
The live stream had been closed upon leaving the palace.
Sitting on her embroidered bed, she unfolded the imperial edict she had brought out from the palace.
Looking at the specific locations of the six gold mines listed, she decided to try selling one first to see if these gold mines granted to her by the Emperor could be sold in the Marketplace.
Her eyes swept over the list, and she chose one of the two gold mines that Li Yi had marked as having a small amount of gold essence.
Just as she was about to open the Marketplace to try selling it, she suddenly remembered what the Group Leader had said in the group chat about things disappearing from the world when sold in the Marketplace.
Hesitating slightly, she exited the Marketplace and sent a message in the group chat.
Li Qingzhao: “@Li Yi, Group Leader, you mentioned earlier that things like gold mines and countries disappear from the world when sold in the Marketplace.
“Does this mean that once we sell the mineral veins and lands that belong to us to the Marketplace,
“Our world will shrink as well?”
Li Yi: “Yes.
“Sell a mineral vein, the mineral vein disappears, the world shrinks by the size the mineral vein occupied.
“Sell a country, the sky, the land, and everything in the heavens and earth that the country occupies will disappear from the world.
“The world will also shrink by the size the country's land, sea, and air occupy.”
Ying Zheng: “!!!”
Huang Rong: “The world… will shrink?”
Yukino Yukinoshita: “Group Leader, does this mean that for every piece of land we sell, the Earth will decrease its surface area by that land, and also shrink its corresponding volume?”
Li Yi: “That is indeed the case.
“However, the size and strength of a world are directly related to its world source.
“When the world source reaches a certain level of improvement, the world will expand along with it.
“The emergence and development of the transcendent system, the enhancement and breakthrough of the world's upper limit, will all strengthen the world source of a world.
“That's why when you break through the world's limit and enter the transcendent realm, you attract the attention of the will of heaven.
“The transcendent system you bring to the world is why the will of the world favors you.
“You sell the material resources of your world to the Marketplace, and the world will shrink.
“But the points you exchange for strength and the beneficial development you bring to the world will improve and evolve the world source.
“Overall, the increase is greater than the decrease, the improvement is more than the consumption.
“So, as long as you don't squander your points, your respective worlds will only develop better and stronger.
“Furthermore, the resources sold in the Marketplace won't simply vanish into thin air.
“Items sold in the Marketplace can be bought back with an equivalent number of points.
“Items purchased with points will also merge into your world, increasing its world source.
“So, there is no need to worry about selling your world empty.”
Li Yi's explanation eased the worries of the group members.
Li Qingzhao: “Thank you, Group Leader, for your explanation.”
【Ding! Li Qingzhao sold six gold mines, gaining a total of 246,359 points.】
Huang Rong: “!!!”
Li Shimin: “Two hundred and forty thousand points?!”
Lin Fengjiao: “Don’t act like the six thousand, three hundred and fifty-nine points don't matter because they're not even a thousand!”
Ying Zheng: “Two hundred and forty thousand points! I only sold one gold mine for over eighty thousand, should I sell a few more?”
Yukino Yukinoshita: “Two hundred and forty thousand points! I wonder when I can earn that much.”
Huang Rong: “Didn't Yukino go to negotiate a partnership with the Chinese authorities soon?
“Six gold mines in the Northern Song Dynasty are worth two hundred and forty thousand points. Modern-day China, if willing, can easily bring out millions of points worth of resources, right?
“Backed by such a great nation, let's not talk about anything else, the ‘Martial Arts Classic,’ which can be considered devastatingly powerful, is definitely worth buying, right?
“As long as it's purchased, whether it's at the original price or a premium, isn't it like earning a ‘Martial Arts Classic’ worth five hundred thousand points for free?”
Lin Fengjiao: “Wow, you don't know until you calculate, after calculating you realize that Yukino is the hidden ‘rich person’ in the group.”
Ying Zheng: “Now that I compare, I realize that I, with only over eighty thousand points, am actually poor.
“I'm going to shut myself off from the world, I need to train harder, build up my army quickly, and conquer all the countries to earn points!”
Lin Fengjiao: “Shutting off the world +1, I also need to continue my body tempering, strive to attract the attention of the will of heaven, and improve my luck level.
“Then return to Maoshan, pay my respects to the ancestor, and try to ask for a few profound magical techniques in exchange for more points!”
Huang Rong: “Wah wah wah… Nine Uncle, you said that, I suddenly remembered… among the six members of the group, it seems that only me and Nine Uncle haven't broken the world's limit to attract the attention of the will of heaven.
“No! I must go into closed-door cultivation! I must work hard! I must break through to the Celestial Human Realm!”
As they chatted, they all ended up feeling down.
After the group members one by one went offline to cultivate and work hard to earn money.
Li Yi clicked on the group chat interface and received the two world sources from the Tang Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty.
【You received a world source.
After refining through the Dao Fruit, you gained forty-nine Heavenly Laws.】
