People say that selling the treasures passed down by ancestors is unfilial and will attract lightning strikes from heaven.
If the Chen Family hadn't been pushed to their limit, they would have never chosen to sell the Spirit Stone; after all, they did it out of desperation because they were in dire need of money. They needed to renovate the house, the son needed to get married, and both Chen Dazhu and his wife weren't in good health and often needed medication.
They were terrified of poverty and, to change their impoverished lives, they had no choice but to sell the ancestral Spirit Stone.
On one hand, there was the hardship of life, and on the other, the treasure handed down by ancestors. What would you choose if you were in their shoes?

The Spirit Stone was of utmost importance to Gao Fei. In order to find out information about the Spirit Stone, he was willing to spend any amount of money, as it was not something that could be bought with money.
