After Lin Wei left, Lin Hao remained inside his room.
He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the golden screen floating before him.
[Family Points: ∞]
He stared at it for a few seconds.
Then he smiled.
“System.”
[Yes, Host?]
“Open the System Mall.”
The system’s voice immediately became excited.
[Finally!]
[Host has finally decided to witness the greatest marketplace in existence!]
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow.
“You’re really proud of this mall.”
[Proud?]
The system sounded offended.
[Host, proud would be an understatement.]
The golden screen changed.
[SYSTEM MALL]
Welcome, Host.
Everything in existence can be found here.
Payment Method: Family Points
Current Family Points: ∞
Lin Hao blinked.
“Everything?”
[Everything.]
“Literally?”
[Literally.]
Lin Hao leaned closer.
“Then let’s see.”
A massive list of categories appeared.

Lin Hao stared at the list.
“…That’s a lot.”
[I told you.]
“You said everything.”
[And I meant everything.]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Let’s start with spiritual roots.”
The category opened.

Lin Hao’s mouth slowly opened.
“One trillion…”
He scrolled down.
“One quadrillion…”
He scrolled further.
“One quintillion…”
He stopped.
Then he looked at his Family Points.
∞
Lin Hao became silent.
The system spoke proudly.
[Host, please don’t be intimidated by the prices.]
“I’m not intimidated.”
[Good.]
“I’m wondering why you bothered putting prices on them.”
There was silence.
[Because a proper mall needs prices.]
Lin Hao nodded.
“Fair.”
He moved to the next category.

Lin Hao’s eyes widened.
“How many things are actually in this mall?”
[Host, the System Mall contains everything from the simplest grain of rice to treasures capable of shaking the heavens.]
Lin Hao nodded slowly.
“Now I’m interested.” This story is hosted at g.com.
He opened the next category.
[Heavenly Flames]
The moment the list appeared, Lin Hao’s expression changed.
Earth Flame — 100,000 Family Points
Purple Cloud Flame — 10,000,000 Family Points

Lin Hao stared at the final price.
“That’s…”
He counted the digits.
Then gave up.
“Never mind.”
[Host doesn’t need to count.]
Lin Hao looked at the infinite balance.
“I suppose not.”
He opened the Pill section.
The screen immediately changed.
[Pill Pavilion]
Pill Grades
Low Grade
Middle Grade
High Grade
Supreme Grade
Ancient Grade
All pill grades contain Rank 1–9.
Lin Hao nodded.
“Good.”
The system continued.
[Host, Supreme Grade Pills possess between one and five Pill Veins.]
[They are extremely rare in the current era.]
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
“And Ancient Grade?”
The system’s voice became more serious.
[Ancient Grade Pills possess five to nine Pill Veins.]
[They have not been seen in the current era.]
Lin Hao frowned.
“Not even one?”
[Not a single confirmed Ancient Grade Pill has appeared since the Primordial Era.]
[Their existence is known only through ancient records.]
Lin Hao nodded slowly.
“And the Pill Veins determine their quality?”
[Correct.]
[A Rank 1 Ancient Pill with five Pill Veins may possess an effect comparable to a Rank 2 High-Grade Pill, depending on the pill’s specific properties and number of Pill Veins.]
Lin Hao smiled.
“Interesting.”
He looked at the prices.
[Example Pill Prices]
Rank 1 Low-Grade Pill — 100 Family Points
Rank 9 Low-Grade Pill — 10,000 Family Points
Rank 1 Middle-Grade Pill — 50,000 Family Points
Rank 9 Middle-Grade Pill — 1,000,000 Family Points

Rank 9 Ancient Pill — 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 Family Points
Lin Hao stared at the Ancient Pill section.
“These are supposedly things nobody has seen since the Primordial Era.”
[Correct.]
“And you’re selling them?”
[Of course.]
“Where did you get them?”
The system became silent.
Lin Hao narrowed his eyes.
“System?”
[The System Mall does not disclose its suppliers.]
“…”
Lin Hao laughed.
“You’re really suspicious.”
[The System prefers the word mysterious.]
Lin Hao shook his head.
He moved on.
[Formations]
The list seemed endless.
Gathering Spirit Formation — 1,000 Family Points
Concealment Formation — 5,000 Family Points
Defensive Formation — 10,000 Family Points
Illusion Formation — 20,000 Family Points
Temperature Control Formation — 500 Family Points
Cleaning Formation — 100 Family Points
Soundproof Formation — 300 Family Points
Lin Hao blinked.
“Cleaning Formation?”
[Yes.]
“You’re selling a formation that cleans things?”
[Of course.]
“Why?”
[Because cleaning is troublesome.]
Lin Hao stared at the screen.
“…That’s actually useful.”
The system sounded pleased.
[I knew Host would understand my genius.]
Lin Hao continued scrolling.
The prices increased rapidly.
Mountain Protection Formation — 10,000,000 Family Points
Soul Protection Formation — 100,000,000 Family Points

Myriad Worlds Protection Formation — 10,000,000,000,000,000,000 Family Points
Ancient Chaos Formation — 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 Family Points
Primordial World Barrier Formation — 999,999,999,999,999,999 Family Points
Lin Hao stared at the last one.
Then he looked at his balance.
∞
He smiled.
“Buy.”
DING!
The system froze.
[Host…]
“What?”
[You didn’t even ask what it does.]
“I don’t need to.”
[Why?]
“Because it’s called Primordial World Barrier Formation.”
The system became silent.
Lin Hao smiled.
“Besides, I have infinite Family Points.”
A notification appeared.
[Purchase Successful!]
[Primordial World Barrier Formation has been stored in the System Inventory.]
[Family Points deducted: 999,999,999,999,999,999]
[Remaining Family Points: ∞]
Lin Hao stared at the last line.
He laughed.
“That feels illegal.”
[Host, technically, you paid for it.]
“With infinite points.”
[Payment is payment.]
Lin Hao shook his head.
He opened the weapons section.
[Weapons]
Iron Sword — 10 Family Points
Spirit Sword — 10,000 Family Points
Earth-Grade Sword — 1,000,000 Family Points

Further down were special weapons.
Void Blade
Dragon-Slaying Spear
Soul Reaper
Myriad Dao Sword
Chaos Divine Sword
Primordial Bell
Lin Hao looked at them.
He didn’t buy any.
There was no point.
At least not yet.
He opened another category.
[Sacred Treasures]
Lin Hao’s eyes immediately became serious.
Unlike ordinary treasures, these were specifically designed to assist cultivation.
The list contained treasures that could:
– Purify spiritual energy
– Strengthen one’s cultivation foundation
– Improve comprehension
– Accelerate cultivation
– Protect the soul
– Refine the physical body
– Stabilize breakthroughs
– Assist with understanding Laws
– Protect against cultivation deviations
– Increase the efficiency of absorbing spiritual energy
Some treasures could even create special environments where cultivation progressed far faster than normal.
Lin Hao stared at the list.
“These are all cultivation aids?”
[Correct.]
“And they’re called Sacred Treasures?”
[Correct.]
[Some are so rare that even powerful cultivators may spend their entire lives without encountering one.]
Lin Hao nodded.
“Interesting.”
He didn’t purchase anything yet.
There would be plenty of time.
He moved on.
[Divine Beasts]
Spirit Wolf
Flame Lion
Thunder Eagle
Azure Serpent
Golden Roc
Qilin
Phoenix
Ancient Dragon
Primordial Beast
Lin Hao stared.
“You’re even selling living creatures?”
[The System Mall provides everything required by the Host.]
“Can I buy one?”
[Of course.]
“Later.”
Lin Hao continued browsing.
Then he noticed another category.
[Spiritual Plants]
Lin Hao opened it.
The list seemed endless.
There were ordinary spiritual herbs.
Rare spiritual herbs.
Ancient spiritual herbs.
And even spiritual plants that had disappeared from the world countless years ago.
Lin Hao’s eyes narrowed.
“These plants still exist?”
[Within the System Mall.]
“Even the ones that have gone extinct?”
[Yes.]
“Interesting.”
He moved to the next category.
[Spiritual Fruits]
Again, there were countless varieties.
Some were common.
Some were extraordinarily rare.
And some were fruits that had not appeared in the outside world for an extremely long time.
Some existed only in ancient records.
Lin Hao smiled.
“So the mall really does contain things that the current world no longer has.”
[Exactly.]
[The System Mall does not care whether the outside world has forgotten something.]
[If it once existed, the System Mall can contain it.]
Lin Hao’s eyes gleamed.
“Now that’s useful.”
[Seeds and Crops]
Rice
Wheat
Corn
Vegetables
Fruit Trees
Medicinal Plants
Spiritual Crops
Lin Hao nodded.
Then he opened the ordinary goods section.
[Ordinary Goods]
Rice — 5 Family Points per 100 kilograms
Wheat — 5 Family Points per 100 kilograms
Vegetables — 3 Family Points per 50 kilograms
Meat — 10 Family Points per 50 kilograms
Fresh Water — 1 Family Point per 1,000 liters
Common Medicine — 10 Family Points
Clothing — 5 Family Points per set
Farming Tools — 10 Family Points per set
Livestock — 20 Family Points
Building Materials — 100 Family Points per standard bundle
Complete House — 1,000 Family Points
Lin Hao froze.
He stared at the screen.
Then he slowly turned his head toward the door.
His mind went back to Lin Wei.
Twelve days of grain.
Three hundred Copper Coins.
Forty-seven members.
A family that had been carefully rationing its food.
Lin Hao turned back to the screen.
“System.”
[Yes, Host?]
“Five Family Points.”
[Yes?]
“Gets me one hundred kilograms of rice?”
[Correct.]
“Ten gets me a hundred kilograms of wheat too?”
[Correct.]
“Ten more gets me fifty kilograms of meat?”
[Correct.]
Lin Hao leaned back.
He suddenly started laughing.
The system sounded confused.
[Host?]
Lin Hao covered his face.
“My clan has been worrying about food…”
He laughed harder.
“And I have been sitting here looking at Primordial treasures worth quintillions of points…”
He looked at the ordinary goods section again.
“…while rice costs five.”
The system immediately spoke proudly.
[Host, this is why I said the System Mall contains everything.]
Lin Hao shook his head.
“You really are broken.”
[I prefer extraordinary.]
Lin Hao smiled.
He closed the mall.
Then reopened it.
The system paused.
[Host?]
Lin Hao looked at the infinite balance.
“Actually…”
A mischievous smile appeared on his face.
“Let’s go shopping.”
[Excellent!]
[The Host has finally discovered the true purpose of infinite wealth!]
Lin Hao laughed.
“Don’t get too excited.”
[Too late!]
