Chapter 177: Agarwood Like a Fixed Stone

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Liu Jie, who had been Sequence #39 in the Radiance Hundred Sequence two years ago, was considered to have a small fortune. His wealth accumulated in a year of competition and missions could add up to a few million Radiance dollars. However, he had used most of the Radiance dollars to raise his Insect Queen’s grade or quality.

The resources that spirit qi professionals needed to consume to nurture their feys was a bottomless pit. The stronger the expert, the more resources they would need to consume.

Nevertheless, Liu Jie looked at the furniture that Lin Yuan took out with a wave of his hand and felt his fundamental values toppled.

The jade-like furniture had always been a luxury in the Radiance Federation.

One hundred years after the Spirit Qi Awakening, jade was divided into two kinds—jadeites formed by ores or nephrites formed by jade-like wood.

Jadeites were expensive in the Radiance Federation, as they were considered a relatively rare spiritual ingredient, but nephrites were much more expensive than jadeites.

Before the Spirit Qi Awakening, there were many jadeites in the underground ore veins. After the Spirit Qi Awakening, the jadeites absorbed the world’s spirit qi and contained different functions.

Before the Spirit Qi Awakening, nephrites simply did not exist. In environments with extremely rich spirit qi, they could allow the wood surface to turn into jade, forming a thin outer layer of nephrite, which was extremely rare.

The wooden materials that formed the furniture Lin Yuan had taken out had completely turned into jade, and not just on the surface. The furniture had a uniquely mellow and transparent feeling of a nephrite.

It seemed to be able to filter the sunlight, dispersing it and turning into a gorgeous corrugated circle of light that reflected on the body as if a person was immersed in tranquility and gentleness.

Lin Yuan had taken out a lot of furniture this time. People would not bear to auction the jade-like furniture in Star Web’s Treasure Pavilion.

Although they did not have any special functions, they were luxury items wildly sought after in the Radiance Federation.

If Liu Jie had lamented at Wen Yu’s profligacy before, when he saw Liu Jie take out the furniture, he then understood.

Compared to this jade-like furniture, the money that had been spent on flattening the land and building the manor was only a small amount.

Lin Yuan currently did not expect that this ordinary furniture would actually turn out to be like that after being placed in the Spirit Lock spatial zone for some time. Even though Lin Yuan was not as surprised as Liu Jie, he still felt a little surprised upon touching the jade-like furniture.

However, Wen Yu was used to it, so she did not think that the furniture was remarkable. In her opinion, it was reasonable for Lin Yuan, the Radiant Moon Palace’s Young Lord, to have such things.

Lin Yuan and Liu Jie moved the jade-like furniture into the manor.

When they placed them inside, the furniture immediately made the simple manor different right away. Sunlight spilled in through the window, shining on the jade-like furniture that produced light ripples as if people were in the water.

At night, they would only need a lighted lamp. The furniture would immediately brighten up the manor with the light scattered from the lamp.

As Lin Yuan looked at the manor, he wore a bright smile on his face and revealed his white teeth, with a vigorous teenage spirit. This would be his home. When Chu Ci studied in the Royal Capital, she would not have to live in the school. She could just return to her home daily.

At that moment, he suddenly saw Wen Yu holding onto the table, looking somewhat dizzy, so he hurriedly asked her, “What’s wrong, Wen Yu?”

For the past few days, Lin Yuan had been completely wrapped up with evolving the Acid Corrosion Queen Bee and Chimey in the Royal Capital’s Creation Master Association’s breeding room. However, Wen Yu was also the same.

During these two months, she had supervised the work in the manor. Even if the team of Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen had worked overtime day and night to build the manor, they had also been divided into two groups. One batch would work during the day, while the other during the night. Each batch worked for 12 hours but had half a day to rest.

However, things were different for Wen Yu, as she had nearly not slept in order to better supervise the work. She would lean against the wall to take a nap when she was exhausted and hold on until the Class 4 Spirit Craftsmen finished building the manor.

Just after the manor’s construction, she also had not had the time to rest properly. She had instructed the cleaning team to clean the manor inside and out first. At present, she just could not hold on anymore.

Even though Wen Yu had consumed the drop of Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar Lin Yuan had given her and was very healthy, she was clearly experiencing hypoglycemia.

“Young Master, I’m just a little dizzy. I’ll go rest for a while after I cook for you and Big Brother Liu.”

Upon hearing that, Lin Yuan replied, “Sit here and rest for a while. We’ll order lunch.”

At that moment, Liu Jie said, “I’m familiar with the takeouts around here. I’ll order the food now.” Then, he took out his cell phone, ready to order food.

Lin Yuan took an incense burner carved with all kinds of auspicious feys from a nearby shelf. He searched with his spiritual energy in the Spirit Lock spatial zone and took out a piece of black-crystal-like wood.

It was very small, about ten centimeters long, and just two fingers thick. It was agarwood.

This agarwood had completely turned into jade, just like the wooden furniture, after being placed in Lin Yuan’s Spirit Lock spatial zone for a long time.

Lin Yuan gently broke the black-crystal-like agarwood with a snap, took a small section, and placed it in the incense burner. Then, he summoned Chimey that quickly understood what he wanted it to do. It used Scattered Light on the agarwood, causing a subtle light to land on and burn it. The burning agarwood emitted a very soothing aroma.

Before Lin Yuan’s body had recovered, he had always been prone to dizziness, so he had to prepare a lot of such wood. Agarwood was quite common, and he had stored quite a lot previously. Afterward, he had thrown them into the Spirit Lock spatial zone, as he could not use them.

The emitted aroma could be calming to the mind, and over time, Lin Yuan also liked its smell. Although the smell was subtle, the essence of the aroma was pure.

The agarwood was like a fixed stone. If the heart could be like this agarwood, why be afraid of the turmoil in the outside world?

When Wen Yu saw Lin Yuan burning the agarwood for her, she quickly said, “Young Master, this agarwood is precious. I’ll be fine after resting a while.”

Lin Yuan shook his head at her and answered, “Go take some rest after eating. It’s been hard on you.”

Lin Yuan had much jade-like agarwood in his Spirit Lock spatial zone. He would certainly have sold this jade-like furniture and agarwood when he had been short of money in the past to exchange for resources so that he and Chu Ci could improve their strength. However, he was no longer short of resources now.

The jade-like furniture and agarwood were just decorations in life. It was natural to use them when he needed them.

After Chimey had been summoned, it immediately chirped and flew from the first floor to the third floor. After circling twice and standing on the shelf, it chirped for a while. Then, it landed on Lin Yuan’s ear and intimately touched his fringe.

He looked at Chimey and could not help but reveal a pampered smile. It was really clingy.
