Back For My Daughter

As the man entered the gate the guard glanced at his back while he struggled to carry the heavy load of herbs on his back but still dragged it somehow.

"Idiot."

Thinking about how easily he had been able to trick this dumb guy for all those 10 copper coins, he could not help but feel the corner of his lips curve up.

"Haha, Haraku you were really good there, that man is really an idiot, all those were nothing but mere weeds and barely a few herbs that one would really want to use."

The guard beside the first guard who had stopped the man chuckled.

"Haha, it didn\'t take much of a thought, he has been coming here for more than a month by now and I understood that he didn\'t have knowledge after seeing him carrying more than 90 percent of weeds with him."

The guard named Haraku laughed aloud.

There was no such thing as entry charges for the businessmen.

And even if it was, it would only be applied during the harvest season when there would be many local businessmen from the nearby cities that would come and take the harvest to the bigger cities and that would be a great income for the city administration.

As for now, the money that the man had given to the guard, it was all going to get into the guy\'s pockets.

The guard beside him rubbed his hands together getting closer to Haraku.

"Hoho, so do you have any special plans now that you have got this much money?"

"Of course, today I will give a drink to my brothers."

The guard chuckled, he knew that if he didn\'t then there was also a possibility that the guy would tell the chief and that would really be detrimental to his position.

Anyways, a copper coin was enough to buy them enough wine to enjoy tonight.

"Haha, I just could not wait for our shifts to end."

The other guy grinned as they both turned back and started to GUARD the place.

The chances of getting someone like the man from before were none, and for now, it was enough for them to sate their thirst for wine in a few hours. Their shifts would also likely end and all they had to do was stand.

"Haih, they say that it costs 10 silver coins to get a small practitioner scroll."

Meanwhile, unknown to him that he had been duped, the young man walked through the shops around and saw many martial arts scrolls which would help someone in CULTIVATION.

He didn\'t really know what this thing was, but from what he had heard so far, after cultivation, one would get very powerful to do magical things.

And the only thing that he cared about was getting back to his family.

And that was not any less than magic for him.

This world was not any different from the fantasy and mythical legends from the stories.

And right now all he wanted was to get enough money to get a CULTIVATION scroll.

"They say that cultivation requires a lot of resources and for that, you need a lot of money, those magical herbs and medicines and potions help in increasing your cultivation as well."

The man pondered seeing the various small shops that were selling different kinds of medicines.

"A Dan to help you enter the Black Stage Mortal, just for 50 Silvers."

"A Dan, meaning a liquid concoction."

The man muttered seeing the small vial that was in the hand of the seller.

He was just a meter or more away from the shopkeeper and could see that the vial itself was not any bigger than the size of a single segment of a toddler\'s pinky finger as for the Real Dan in it.

It was barely even a drop.

"A single drop is for 50 Silvers!"

Thinking of that, his body trembled.

After coming here, he understood that, unlike his world, this world\'s currency was different.

Very different.

A single copper coin was enough to buy one meal for a whole 5 days.

As for converting them into Silver coins, it was almost impossible.

A Silver coin was exchanged for roughly 100 copper coins.

This meant that the Dan to get one into Black Stage was for 500 copper coins.

That was a sky-high amount for him knowing that he just had 5 copper coins in his pocket right now after giving the ENTRY CHARGES.

"But isn\'t the Black Stage like the first stage?"

He wondered, so far after living here for more than a month in his world, he has accumulated some knowledge.

And he knew that Black Stage was barely just the start.

As he moved forward, he heard something that made him very interested and he couldn\'t help but want to take a look at it.

"A Gold Stage cultivation scroll, there only exists a few, and for just 5 Gold coins."

As he heard the value of the cultivation scroll, the land underneath his foot shook.

He couldn\'t help but wonder.

"Are people in this city so rich?"

If a silver coin could be exchanged for 100 copper coins then for one to get a Gold coin one could only imagine.

A Gold coin was worth more than 100 silver coins.

Which further meant about 10,000 copper coins.

But this was a number that one would normally give according to the currency exchange.

In this city, people would still be lucky if they were to get more than 90 copper coins in exchange for a Silver coin.

And for a gold coin, it was hardly possible for one to get 80 silver coins.

As for the money that he had in his pocket.

When his soul arrived in this place within a stranger\'s body, he had like 50 or so coins.

But there were many people who took advantage of his condition since he didn\'t have any knowledge and extorted quite a lot of money.

"Ye Qian, you should better focus on earning money now, the prices of these things are sky-high."

The man sighed, shaking his head and trying to make him focus on the things that he could do right now.
