Chapter 67: Chapter 67: The Ingenious Use of Shops

“Enforcing laws on intelligent Spiritual Treasures will greatly benefit our Great Zhou dynasty, ” Ji Zhi proposed in an unquestionable tone. “Let’s move on to the next topic, the formulation of laws applicable to Spiritual Treasures.” All the ministers agreed, fully understanding the emperor’s reasoning.
The fortune of the Great Zhou depends on the law. If anyone violates the law, the nation’s fortune will decline; conversely, if more “people” abide by the law, the nation’s fortune will increase.
The term ‘people’ here does not merely refer to human beings; it extends to all sentient beings, such as humans, demons, and intelligent Spiritual Treasures.
No-body knew the exact number of Spiritual Treasures in the Great Zhou, but everyone agreed that it might be more than they expected.
Not every cultivator could possess a high-quality Spiritual Artifact, but low-level Spiritual Artifacts were everywhere.
According to Ji Zhi’s estimate, every three cultivators would have a low-level Spiritual Artifact on average. If these artifacts could comply with the laws of the Great Zhou, the nation’s fortune would strengthen significantly and noticeably!
However, although it was easy to decide to establish laws, it was hard to draft the laws themselves.
If the laws were unreasonable, they could be exploited; that would cause significant harm to the nation’s fortune.
The many ministers continuously offered suggestions, only to have them continually exposed for their flaws. A flaw would be mended only for a new one to appear, causing significant distress to everyone.
“I suggest giving Spiritual Treasures the same rights as humans.”
“What if a Spiritual Treasure breaks during a battle? Do we demand a human life in return?”
“What if a Spiritual Treasure kills someone?”
“Then we forbid Spiritual Treasures from killing.”
“If Spiritual Treasures cannot kill, do cultivators have to rely on literary debates for their disputes!”
“Spiritual Treasures must obey all commands of their master.”
“What if a master uses a Spiritual Treasure to commit suicide? Is it considered murder or suicide by the Spiritual Treasure?”
Creating new laws had at least former laws for reference, but legislation for Spiritual Treasures involved wholly new concepts and inventions, creating laws from scratch.
Jiang Li was hovering above the palace of Zhou, waiting for the ministers to leave Yangxin Hall before going to find Ji Zhi.
Ji Zhi looked haggard and demoralized, which greatly startled Jiang Li. “Have you been poisoned, or have you entered the Five Decays of Heaven and Man state?”
Ji Zhi shot him a glance. “Can’t you see I’m just stressed out?” “Because of the discussion among the ministers earlier?”
“No, it was caused by that Tian Yin from Dao Sect, causing all Spiritual Treasures to gain intelligence!” Ji Zhi complained.
“Why not listen to my suggestion?” Jiang Li came here specifically for this matter, so he repeated his thoughts from the Dao Sect, which made Ji Zhi’s eyes glow.
“Wonderful idea, Brother Jiang!” Ji Zhi quickly grasped the three rules and extra rules proposed by Jiang Li, which would prevent Spiritual Treasures from turning against their masters and helped establish the overall tone of the laws.
With this overall tone set, the detailed provisions could soon be filled in!
After Ji Zhi agreed, Jiang Li needed to find a place to retreat for several days, so he returned to the Imperial Palace after a long period.
The Imperial Palace held a unique position at the center of the Nine Provinces.
Other than Jiang Li himself, there were six leaders in the palace, one at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, five at the Body Integration Realm, and even a hundred Imperial Guards protecting the palace. When Jiang Li was not around, the palace was usually occupied by the figure who had reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.
There was originally one more figure at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, but they had unfortunately fallen in a battle against the Heavenly Demons from abroad before Jiang Li had assumed the throne.
“Hall Master!”
Upon seeing Jiang Li, the two guards standing at the Imperial Palace straightened up even more with shining eyes.
They felt an urge to cry with deep emotion. It had been so long since they last saw the Pavilion Master.
When they first joined the Imperial Guards, they thought they could see the glory of the Human Emperor every day. However, decades had passed, and the Human Emperor had only been to the Imperial Palace a few times.
They were not even on duty during those times.
According to their peers, the Pavilion Master visited the Dao Sect more often than the Imperial Palace.
As Imperial Guards who had served for decades, seeing the real Human Emperor for the first time was indeed a rare event.
Jiang Li returned to his private cave dwelling and began his retreat.
He wrote cultivation techniques swiftly. Body Integration Realm techniques, as common as cabbages, were easily penned down, and sometimes he even managed to produce a book of Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivation techniques.
After ten days, the floor of the cave was filled with cultivation techniques; there was barely any room to set foot.
He sold all these techniques to the system to gain a large amount of Source Points.
The system was nearly overloaded because it had not expected Jiang Li to write so many cultivation techniques.
Although numerous, these techniques were of low quality and were practically useless once mastered. For instance, the ‘Devour Sky Earth Technique’ requires the cultivator to eat ten times more than those of the same level without any
other benefits. Similarly, the ‘Thoughtless Technique’ enables cultivators to become thoughtless and fall asleep quickly.
Even so, these were genuine techniques that could lead to the Body Integration Realm, compelling the system to purchase them at the standard rate for Body Integration Realm techniques.
Jiang Li wrote a lot, which resulted in the continuous accumulation of Source Points. After all the techniques were sold, the system displayed Jiang Li’s current Source Points.
[Source Points:
“What happened?” Jiang Li was confused. He bought random items from the shop and found out that his Source Points still displayed “???”
Although he was not sure what happened, Jiang Li figured he had somehow achieved unlimited Source Points.
When Jiang Li bought the Ancestor’s Stele from the shop, he knew the system’s shop did not conjure things from thin air. The items truly exist; otherwise, there is no reason the shop items would only update once he went to another world.
Hence, the method to find the remaining Immortal Artifacts became clear. (f)reenovelkiss.com
“Purchase the Brahma Tower, Great Confucian Word Post, Magic Gourd, Mount Heshan Stone, Dragon Ball, and Past and Present Sword.”
Jiang Li found these Immortal Artifacts in the shop and clicked purchase one by one.
Why go to other worlds when he could simply shop online?
Six light circles appeared in his cave, from which the Immortal Artifacts materialized.
“What’s going on?”
“Where are we? I was about to establish a dynasty!”
“It’s Jiang, the Human Emperor!”
The Immortal Artifacts scrambled in a heated discussion. They had just begun to enjoy their carefree days in other worlds when Jiang Li brought them back through an unknown method.
As for the escape, facing the well-prepared Jiang Li, none of the Immortal Artifacts could flee.
However, it does not mean that he found all the Immortal Artifacts. The Brahma Tower did not emerge from the light circle. Jiang Li saw the light circle shake before it stabilized. He wanted to bring back the Brahma Tower but didn’t get the chance, as it had already escaped.
“Well, it’s an Immortal Artifact with control over spatial powers. Even the system can’t catch it.” Jiang Li wasn’t worried. He found a clever workaround by shopping for the Immortal Artifacts from the system, but he still had the conventional method, employing the causality power of the Yin Yang Heaven Seal. With it, no matter where the Brahma Tower escaped to, he could find it; it would only take him some time.
As for the light circle of the Past and Present Sword, no movement was detected at all. Jiang Li guessed that the sword had escaped into the river of time, where spatial methods were useless, and thus the system was helpless.
Just when he was about to set off in search of the Brahma Tower, he saw an incredibly interesting mission released by the system.
The mission was not important. What attracted Jiang Li was the mission reward.

Heavenly Ascension Ladder”]
