Courtyard House: Passing through the Silly Pillar, Activating the Blessed Cave Heaven

"Sir, are you trying to fool me? Forget 80,000, do I look like someone who can pull out 80,000? I'm still a student, just tell me the lowest price, and I'll buy it if it's right for me."

"Since you like it so much, it's a flat price of eight hundred! I can't go any lower. I dug it out of the ground myself."

Upon hearing the price, He Yuzhu turned to leave.

"Don't rush off! Name your price, and I'll sell it to you if it's right."

He stopped and turned around, saying, "Eighty yuan. That's all the money I have in my pocket. Take it if you want, or leave if you don't."

"Deal!" Before he could finish speaking, the old man immediately agreed.

When He Yuzhu saw that the old man agreed so readily, he immediately felt that he had overpaid, but since things had come to this point, he could only grit his teeth and buy it.

Afterwards, he picked out a red string at the entrance of the antique market, strung the jade pendant on it, and hung it around his neck.

After returning home, he consulted a large amount of information and even bought a flashlight specifically for identification.

It was finally confirmed that this was indeed a piece of jade, but the quality was rather ordinary.

Judging from its shape and craftsmanship, it is clearly a modern machine-made artifact, not an antique.

He Yuzhu recalled a common trope in online novels and tried to touch the red mark between his eyebrows with his consciousness.

The moment he made contact, he was sucked in by a mysterious force.

When he regained consciousness, he found himself standing on a ground paved with huge stones, with a magnificent palace-like building standing not far away.

The surroundings were silent and desolate, and the distant mountains were barren.

The climate inside this space is completely different from the outside world; it's more like Beijing in early summer, warm and comfortable.

After confirming that he had his own personal space, He Yuzhu gradually calmed down.

Since we can freely enter and exit at any time, we'll have plenty of time to explore later.

The most important thing right now is to find a way back to the real world.

He focused his mind again on touching the red mark, silently repeating "get out" in his mind, and in the blink of an eye, he was back on his bed in the bedroom.

After repeated experiments, he figured out the rules for using the space: he could freely enter and exit the space by focusing on the red mark on his chest; items needed to be in direct contact with his body; when entering and exiting, his body was completely transferred and the landing point was fixed—he would stand in Stonehenge when he first entered, and would appear in the same position he left each time thereafter.

What disappointed him even more was that this space did not have the magical power of "words becoming law" as described in novels; he had to do everything himself.

To bring out the items from the space, you also need to touch them yourself.

"Let's call it a blessed land," He Yuzhu murmured to himself, gazing at the distant palace. "With its help, we'll be able to live a good life in this world sooner or later."

After studying the basic functions of the space, he walked towards the palace.

Since this cave appears to be the work of a powerful cultivator, perhaps it contains the secret to immortality?

As He Yuzhu walked, various wonderful fantasies floated through his mind, his expression changing unpredictably.

If someone were to see this now, they would surely think that this child is mentally unstable.

When he arrived at the palace, he looked up and saw that the plaque above the palace gate was blank and the gate was wide open.

Upon entering the hall, apart from the jade-white stone in the very center, there was nothing else inside.

"Immortality, longevity... all gone." He Yuzhu's beautiful dream shattered instantly. He walked dejectedly to the jade stone and sat down on it.
