The Good Grandson of the Red Chamber

Chapter 87: The Fusion of the Sky-Mending Stone and the Spirit Jade, Creating a Storage Space

Are you kidding me!

He deliberately hosted a banquet to reciprocate the invitation, fearing that things might get complicated if he delayed.

Will the Rongguo Mansion host a dinner party next time?

What if the Rongguo Mansion doesn't invite us? What if Jia Baoyu isn't home?

Does that mean he doesn't want the Jade of Spirit Communication anymore? That's clearly impossible!

Xia Chengzong made up his mind: This is the time!

Xia Chengzong quickly came up with an idea. He suddenly looked up at the sky in surprise and exclaimed, "Huh? What kind of bird is that?"

Everyone's attention was drawn to his actions, and they all hurriedly looked up at the sky.

Xia Chengzong then took the opportunity to quickly untie the knotted plum blossom pattern.

I rely on!

Xia Chengzong cursed inwardly once again that the knot had been tied in a tight knot.

For a short time, they couldn't solve it.

At this moment, since no one saw any strange birds in mid-air, they all turned their attention away.

Jia Baoyu asked curiously, "Your Highness, where is that strange bird you mentioned?"

Xia Chengzong said, "Just now I saw a brightly colored bird, one I've never seen before, fly by and disappear in the blink of an eye."

"Perhaps it fell into one of the trees around here. Look carefully, you might still be able to find it."

Upon hearing this, Jia Baoyu indeed looked around curiously.

Xia Chengzong then quickly untied the net.

Then he took out his fake magical jade from his bosom and even untied the fake five-colored silk ribbons on it.

After untying the fake jade pendant, Xia Chengzong quickly hid the real jade pendant in his bosom and began to tie a knot in the shape of a plum blossom with a heart shape to the fake jade pendant.

Just then, Baoyu, having searched around but not finding the strange bird, lost interest and turned his gaze back, just in time to see this scene.

Xia Chengzong laughed and said, "The knot on your jade has come loose for some reason. Let me tie it back on for you."

Jia Baoyu quickly said, "Thank you, Your Highness."

Xia Chengzong quickly tied the knot and then personally put it around Jia Baoyu's neck.

Now, it's truly fitting that Jia Baoyu is wearing a fake jade.

With the magical jade in hand, Xia Chengzong was overjoyed.

Next, he ordered the dishes to be served and the banquet to begin.

He advocated frugality—currently, the government's expenses exceeded its income, so frugality was necessary.

The dishes were mostly light and simple, and there were no opera troupes performing, as the Prince's mansion couldn't afford to support one for the time being.

Despite the simple conditions, the banquet was very lively because the host, Xia Chengzong, was very hospitable in urging people to drink, and Jia Lian was good at creating a lively atmosphere.

In the end, the guests and hosts parted in high spirits, with the two brothers, Jia Lian and Jia Zhu, leaving drunk.

After they left, Xia Chengzong stepped into the study and told everyone to retreat outside and stand guard.

Once he was alone in the study, he couldn't hide his excitement and took out the magic jade from his pocket.

The Sky-Mending Stone sent a notification: The original body has been found. Do you wish to fuse with it?

Xia Chengzong silently recited the word "fusion" in his mind.

The Heaven-Mending Stone flew out from his sea of ​​consciousness and quickly disappeared into the Spirit Jade in his palm.

The next moment, the magical jade in his hand emitted a soft glow and slowly flew up from his palm.

Finally, it entered his sea of ​​consciousness once again.

He can clearly sense the location of the Spirit Jade and can collect it at any time.

He took the magic jade back into his hand and felt a sense of belonging.

He held the Spirit Jade in his hand, and the next moment, he sensed that there was actually a space inside the Spirit Jade.

This space is about ten feet square.

This immediately surprised and delighted Xia Chengzong.

Could this magical jade also possess its own spatial dimension?

Is this the kind of spatial treasure, similar to a storage ring, that I'm looking for?

The next moment, he brought the jade close to the inkstone on the desk and silently recited "collect".

Whoosh!

The inkstone on the desk had miraculously disappeared.

He sensed the magical jade and, sure enough, saw the inkstone inside its interior.

Become!

This magical jade actually comes with its own storage space!

Although the space is not large, only about ten feet square, it is enough to hold quite a lot of things!

With storage space, his ability to protect himself will be greatly increased.

Xia Chengzong was very curious about this treasure.

He used the magic jade to collect books, papers, pen holders, and even his desk.

He was having a great time, but before long, he felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if his brain had turned into mush, his thinking had slowed down tenfold, and he was about to collapse.

This suddenly alerted him that using the Spirit Jade to store and retrieve items would likely consume his divine sense each time.

This situation will inevitably occur if there is excessive consumption.

He hurried to the bedroom in the study suite, took off his shoes, and lay down on the bed.

Almost immediately, he fell asleep.

Meanwhile, in the realm beyond the heavens of sorrow, amidst the sea of ​​grief, in the Fragrant Cave of the Spring-Releasing Mountain.

The Fairy of Dreams guarded a portrait painted with various flowers, including plum blossoms, peonies, chrysanthemums, hibiscus, osmanthus, and many other flowers.

The portrait is made up of twelve beads in a group, with the first twelve beads being the most vibrant. They are not only lifelike, but each one even exudes a fragrance.

Behind them were twelve more flowers of different colors, but they were more ethereal and hazy than the ones in front, and their fragrance was also fainter.

Behind that, there were twelve more flowers, growing increasingly hazy and dim. Beyond that, everything was indistinct and barely visible.

The dream-obsessed fairy was dozing off when, unexpectedly, the portrait moved without wind and then burst into flames.

The dream-obsessed fairy was suddenly awakened and was immediately terrified.

She rushed to save the portrait, but it was too late.

In no time at all, it burned to a wisp of bluish-gray.

The Dream Fairy hurriedly ran out to report to the Illusion Fairy.

"Fairy, something terrible has happened! The Hundred Flowers Painting has suddenly burst into flames! Something must have gone wrong with the Spirit Jade!"

Upon hearing this, Fairy Jinghuan was also greatly surprised.

She tried to divine the outcome using divination sticks, but the result was never accurate.

She knew that the secrets of heaven were not revealed, and that it involved a great karmic cause and effect, which was beyond her capacity to bear, so she dared not force it.

She hurriedly dispatched the Great Master of Vastness and the Immortal of Boundless Infinity to the mortal realm to investigate the matter.

……

Xia Chengzong slept soundly, and when he woke up, the sun was already setting.

He felt refreshed and energetic, seemingly even better than before.

Obtaining the magical jade today is a joyous occasion.

Xia Chengzong suddenly remembered something. That's right, after the Spirit Jade and the Sky-Mending Stone are combined, they gain storage function.

But this may not be all its functions; it may have other functions as well.

Xia Chengzong was too lazy to figure it out himself, so he simply asked the Sky-Mending Stone in his mind.

Soon Xia Chengzong received the message from the Sky-Mending Stone.

It does indeed have new features.

It won't tell you unless you ask it!

If it were a person, Xia Chengzong would have already given it a good beating.

The first new feature is that you can exchange emotion points for storage space.

The exchange rate is: 100 emotion points can be exchanged for 1 cubic meter of storage space.
