Chapter 13: Starting with Confiscating Property and Exile (The End)
In this world, Qingmo lived to be seventy-six years old, while her male concubines all died in their sixties.
In ancient times, the average lifespan was not high, so she was considered to have lived a long life. When she reached 70, she could no longer eat or play, and she had long wanted to die, but she could only wait for the end of her life.
He lived a life of wealth and extravagance, spending all the silver notes he had previously stored in his spatial storage, but leaving his gold untouched.
They also received three large boxes of jewelry that they liked, as well as 200 bolts each of various kinds of luxurious fabrics. These fabrics were all of the highest quality and could not be compared to those of modern times.
We collected 500 sets of clothing for women of all ages, from 5 to 20.
We bought 1000 jin of pastries of all kinds, as well as all kinds of cooked food such as buns and steamed buns, and even stir-fries. It's enough to eat for two lifetimes without having to cook, not including what we had stockpiled before.
1000 sets of bows and arrows were collected, along with 100 knives, swords, and spears.
Large quantities of sleeping potions, aphrodisiacs, love potions, aphrodisiacs, itching powder, infertility drugs, arsenic, arsenic trioxide, as well as various slow-acting poisons and poisons that kill instantly upon contact with blood.
These things were not easy to hoard in ancient times; they were accumulated slowly over the last few decades, especially poisons, which were essential for survival.
She also bought two pairs of male and female horses, cows, donkeys, and mules to graze on her ranch, and commissioned twenty unassuming but luxuriously comfortable carriages. Now she can have any kind of carriage she wants when she travels back in time, hehe.
Anyway, she has made up for everything that needed to be added. Over the years, all she has left are a few farms and shops, and some land, which she has left to her son.
Her son, Jiang Zhiyan, went into business and built a fairly large business. Anyway, he didn't inherit Qingmo's intelligence; she didn't like doing business.
Her ability to continue living a life of luxury and debauchery over the years is inseparable from the financial support of her son.
Sure enough, kids have to be curled up from a young age. Once they're curled up, I can finally relax.
Xiao Jindou only married one wife, and they had two sons and a daughter, so he has a large family.
When the voice of System Xiao Wu appeared in her mind, she knew she could finally die.
He called his son over to explain his final wishes, saying he had nothing to hold onto, and passed away not long after, leaving his entire family heartbroken. Whether the grief was genuine or not, no one knows.
Just like in their previous lives, the male and female protagonists are still the subject of popular stories about a devoted emperor and a beautiful concubine, but who knows the truth behind it all?
As for the Jiang family, although they received the title of Duke's Mansion, they were actually empty inside, lacking both money and power, and their lives were not very good.
"Ding, host has completed the mission. We will immediately take the host away from this world."
When Qingmo came to her senses, she was inside her own body, surrounded by a small, white room with nothing in it.
"Xiao Wu, where is this?"
System: "Host, this is the system space. Each time you complete a task, you will return to the system space to rest. Once you've rested, you will begin the next task. Host, would you like your emotional memories erased?"
"Let's clear it out." Although Qingmo had no attachment to the previous world, it was still better to clear it out.
"Ding, clearing successful. From now on, emotions will be automatically cleared for the host at the end of each world. Now, the last digit of the area score is 100, and the remaining points are 100. The system shop is now open."
Hehe, Xiao Wu is a little happy. He can get a 10% commission on the host's completed tasks and purchased items, and he also has 10 points.
Erasing emotions doesn't erase memories; she can still remember them, but she treats them like watching a play, without any real feeling.
Qingmo glanced at the system shop that appeared in her mind. It showed a balance of 100 points. She clicked on it to take a look, but then thought, "Sorry, poor people can't afford this."
It has categories such as interstellar, immortal cultivation, and normal types, and includes everything from immortal cultivation techniques, spells, talismans, formations, pills, and weapons.
However, those pills for having a son, a daughter, multiple pregnancies, and detoxification are not very effective. They all cost 5 points. Cultivation techniques and spells are at least 100 points, and advanced techniques and top-grade techniques cost millions of points per book. What can she afford?
You mean seize less? You mean seize less?
With millions of points, even without the "ten thousand" (a slang term for a large sum of money), it's still worth a big spender.
The interstellar page is like a variety of nutrient solutions, one bottle costs 1 point and lasts a day. Other interstellar weapons and spaceships are also ridiculously expensive, ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and even a few thousand.
The regular page is basically anything you can buy online in modern society; it's like Taobao. You can also order takeout here, which isn't expensive—it's just a few points, or one point for several items. They also have firearms, but each one costs hundreds of points, which isn't worth it. This feels like a waste of time.
I don't want the cheap ones, and I can't afford the ones I want. It's so frustrating.
Qingmo: "Xiao Wu, I can't afford anything with these points. Do you have any discounts or insider prices? I want to buy a magic-type cultivation technique. I reached the peak of Qi Refining in the last world, but I don't even know the simplest spell. I have no means of attacking, so it's hard for me to protect myself in this small world. If I learn magic, I can protect myself and complete my missions."
"Um, sorry, host. Because I'm also a new system intern, just like you, I have to wait until you complete three tasks to become a full-fledged system. There are no internal discounts. How about this, I'll go ask the main system if I can get a discount."
Xiao Wu also expressed its helplessness, saying that it had no points or discounts and could not help its host, so it cried.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Wu. You can go now, I'm going to cultivate in my space for a while."
After Qingmo finished speaking, Xiao Wu didn't respond, probably because he went back to consult the main system. Qingmo then entered her own space to cultivate. Her original body was too weak, only at the first level of Qi Refining. Oh well, she'd better work hard.
When Qingmo opened her eyes again, she had already reached the second level of Qi Refining. After checking the time, she realized that about seven days had passed since she arrived in the outside world. Once back in the system space, she started calling out to the system, "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu, are you there?"
Xiao Wu: "Yes, yes, host. I've already asked the main system for you. I can give you a newbie perk: a 10% discount. You only have one chance to buy something. Check the store; they've already changed the price for you."
That's actually quite good; even a useless little system can be quite excellent.
(The system cannot hear the host's inner thoughts; it can only communicate with the host in their mind.)
"Thank you so much, Xiao Wu, you're amazing! Sending you love!"
"No, you're welcome."
Xiao Wu was a little shy and embarrassed. The host praised it, and it really was the best.
Qingmo opened the system shop and saw that all the prices were discounted by 10%, meaning that the most expensive item she could buy was originally priced at 1,000.
I filtered out the items I could buy and looked at the spell category. There was a small spell encyclopedia that was exactly 100 after the discount.
After reading the introduction, I found that this spellbook contains mostly minor spells, including Fireball, Cleanse, Freeze, Water Arrow, and Telekinesis, among others.
There are dozens of common minor spells in the cultivation world, which almost everyone knows, since these minor spells don't harm cultivators.
However, these things are just right for Qingmo. They are not harmful in the cultivation world, but they would be deadly weapons in the mortal world.
In a world devoid of any spiritual energy, magic cannot be used; only mental power can be employed. However, if one possesses spirit stones, they can still be used even in a world without spiritual energy.
"Xiao Wu, I'm going to go into the space to practice my magic for a bit. We'll do the mission after I come out."
After Qingmo finished speaking, she went into the space to cultivate.
"Okay, host."
Seeing that Qingmo was cultivating, Xiaowu watched other members chat in the group. As a new member, it needed to learn from its seniors.
Qingmo didn't emerge again for half a month. She had basically mastered all those spells, but she wasn't very proficient and needed to practice more. But that didn't matter; she had plenty of time.
"Xiao Wu, let's move on to the next task."
