The day of departure reached soon. Qiao Mai wrote a letter and entrusted it to Old Mister Wang to deliver to Wang Jiaru.

She also packed a carriage full of gifts and sent it to the Wang residence. When Wang Jiaru received the letter, she opened it happily but soon pouted.

“Sister Qiao only thinks of me when she needs something, hmph.”

“Sister, look at all these snacks! So many!”

“Well, she does have a conscience, bringing me so much food. Come on, let’s eat first.

It turned out that Qiao Mai had asked her to find a martial arts manual. The higher the level, the better, regardless of the price. This was not an easy task for the Wang family.

They had a long tradition of civil officials. They didn’t know any military officers. Even if they did, those who possessed martial arts manuals wouldn’t sell them. True martial experts were usually found among ordinary people.

Although it was challenging, the letter didn’t insist on her succeeding; it only asked her to inquire and do her best.

After putting Ling’er to sleep, Qiao Mai entered her space.

At night, the servant girls went to rest after dinner, and the Qiao family was quiet.

Wu Zhui and Sai Xue, who had grown tall and powerful, were much bigger than

ordinary farm dogs. They no longer needed to stay indoors. They guarded the courtyard gate like two generals. They would growl at any sign of movement during the day and bark loudly. If their master is at home, they wouldn’t bite, but if their master is away, they would not hesitate. However, they could distinguish between familiar and unfamiliar people and wouldn’t attack those they knew. They were quite clever.

These two dogs were fed exceptionally well and had a special bond with their master. They wouldn’t eat anything that wasn’t given to them by their owner, and ordinary people couldn’t even enter the courtyard.

In the space, Qiao Mai didn’t have to worry. She sat in front of the computer, searching for martial arts manuals.

However, she didn’t trust what she found online, feeling that most of it was a scam.

She entered “martial arts manuals” in the shopping website’s search bar, and the results astonished her.

She licked her lips when she saw the prices.

A regular Internal Qi manuscript costs tens of thousands, equivalent to several dozen taels of silver. A better one costs several hundred thousand and even millions. There were even some priced at tens of millions. Qiao Mai couldn’t help but gulp while staring at the computer screen.

If these were genuine, it would be acceptable, but what if she spent tens of thousands of silver on a fake manuscript?

It was frustrating to think about it.

She stared at the manual priced at thirty million, equivalent to three hundred thousand taels of silver after the discount.

Qiao Mai took a deep breath and clicked the purchase link. To her surprise, her address was already filled in.

“Qingfeng Continent, Mundane Plane, Great Ming Dynasty, to Qiao Mai! Oh my gosh!”

She couldn’t believe how unbelievable it all was. If this had happened in the past, she would never have thought it, but after being transported from the modern world to this ancient one, she believed even in ghosts.

Qiao Mai didn’t rush to buy it, though. If virtual manuscripts like this could be purchased, what about other items?

She had big ambitions and knew she needed more than Internal Qi manuscripts to satisfy her. So, she typed “cultivation” in the search bar, and the results left her in awe.

Void Body Cleansing Pills, cultivation manuals, beginner’s guides, they had everything.

However, when she looked at the prices, Qiao Mai’s face turned dark. They weren’t priced in money, silver, or gold but in spirit stones, divided into low, medium, and high grades.

“Damn it, where am I supposed to get all these things?”

But she didn’t give up. Qiao Mai opened the customer service page and asked,

“Can I buy spirit stones with silver?”

“No, but you can use gold. One low-grade spirit stone costs a thousand gold.”

Qiao Mai almost bit her tongue. “A thousand gold for one stone?”

“Yes.”

“One low-grade spirit stone is worth ten thousand taels of silver, and your Void Body Cleansing Pill, which costs ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones, is equivalent to a hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones, which is a hundred thousand taels of silver?”

“Wrong. Ten thousand medium-grade spirit stones are a million low-grade spirit stones.”

“Alright, I’m illiterate, so that’s a million taels of silver.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t have that much gold. Can I barter with items?”

“Of course. Our platform allows flexible trading.”

Qiao Mai really wanted that Body Cleansing Pill. After all, when she arrived in this world, her body was already sixteen years old, and her foundation was weak. If she didn’t cleanse her body, it would affect her growth in the future.

Basics were the most important. She had spent a lot of time reading cultivation novels online to ignore it.

She was obsessed with them.

She said, “Scan my space.”

The computer suddenly emitted an intense light, and Qiao Mai quickly closed her eyes. After ten seconds, the computer returned to normal.

The customer service sent a message: “Your space is quite low-level. You should upgrade it quickly, or you’ll only be able to buy virtual products.” “Virtual products?”

“Yes, they are products without physical form but provide direct benefits to your body, like manuals, martial arts skills, and pills.”

“How can I upgrade my space?”

“Your space seems to be a farming type. You need to keep planting to expand it to a certain range, and it will upgrade automatically. This way, your network will also improve.”

“What kind of network is this?”

“This is the Interdimensional Platform Trading Network, a network for trading between different planets. It’s also known as the Knowledge and Shopping Network.”

Qiao Mai was amazed. That’s why she couldn’t find any news, movies, or TV shows. It was a different network from the one on Earth.

“Do I need to buy spirit stones for cultivation?”

“Yes, from what I see in your space, there’s no spiritual energy. You need to buy spirit stones.”

Qiao Mai was at a loss. “It’s too expensive.” “Then work on upgrading your space.” “How long will that take?”

“You can temporarily cultivate both internal energy and spiritual power. In your dimension, reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm should be enough for you to dominate.”

“Hmph, I still want to ascend to immortality.”

“You’re still a child.”

“Well, help me figure out what’s most valuable in my space. I want to trade for the best Internal Qi manuscript, a Body Cleansing Pill, and a good cultivation manual.”

The customer service took ten seconds to respond. “Based on what I see now, the sports car in the left corner of your space, the motorcycle on top of it, and the latest assault rifle are quite valuable. With these three items, you can trade for an Internal Qi manuscript and a Body Cleansing Pill. If you add the gemstones to your shelf, you can get a good cultivation manual. It just so happens that our interdimensional platform is running a discount event, and there are buyers interested in these items, allowing you to buy those three.”

Qiao Mai took a deep breath and asked with a bold face, “If it’s an event, are there any freebies?”

The customer service hesitated for ten seconds. They had already given quite a discount, and this mortal still wanted to haggle.

However, years of customer service experience taught them not to offend this customer. Qiao Mai was a potential big spender, and without scanning her space, they wouldn’t have known how to handle Qiao Mai.

After seeking approval from their superior, the customer service replied,

“Alright, our leader said we can include ten low-grade spirit stones as a bonus.” “Okay, one last question. I have silver notes. Can I buy spirit stones with them?”

“No, you’ll have to exchange your silver notes for gold and then transfer them to your space. When the time comes, you can buy spirit stones from me.”

“Alright, let’s do the transaction.”

The computer emitted a golden light, and Qiao Mai closed her eyes as it enveloped her. When it was over, she fell to the ground.

The process of cleansing her body and opening her meridians had begun. It was so painful that she cursed everything and everyone.

Why was it so agonizing? The novels hadn’t lied. It hurt so much. She cursed and groaned in pain.

However, Qiao Mai remembered that in the novels, it was crucial not to faint, no matter how painful it got. Otherwise, all the previous efforts would be in vain..
