Rise of the Great Emperor Chapter 102: Yi Feng City (2)

Chapter 102: Yi Feng City (2)

Lin Xiao nodded and grinned while Lin Yun was looking at the result. It seemed that his brother had successfully become a pig while in truth he was a tiger. The result was three ranks lower than what Lin Xiao's real rank was.

"Age: 17."

The guards nodded. It was pretty good for villages. While those from powerful families would look down at this kind of result, majority of people who came from poverty stricken village would have worse result because their age would be older.

"Brother Yu."

Wenren Yu nodded and stepped forward. They had already had agreement that they would not call him with his real name and only use Yu. This was to prevent anyone who might know him from recognizing him.

Putting his hand on top of the stone, Wenren Yu also successfully stopping it not long after it pa.s.sed the sixth marking. While it was not as precise as Lin Xiao, it didn't cross the seventh marking.

"Body Training Rank 6."

The guards nodded then they looked at the age. They were stunned when they realized that this young man was actually older than the rest.

"Age 19 years old."

"Ah, yeah." Wenren Yu scratched the back of his head. He was 17 years old back when the incident that occurred to Taiyi Sect happened. After living nearly 2 years with Lin Xiao and Lin Yun, he was actually 2 years older than these two.

"Here's your plate. Wear it in your arm. Welcome to Yi Feng City."

"Thank you! Yun, let's go and take a look at the stalls! I'm hungry!"

"Wait, Brother!"

The guards laughed at the three siblings' antics then they focused their attention back to their jobs. There were always some villagers who came to the city for the first time and might not act like what normal people do. The guards also didn't care much about them because it only showed that these people were quite poor.

Lin Xiao looked around and busy reading all the plates there. Beside him, Lin Yun was trying hard to restrain his brother's att.i.tude while hoping to bury his head. Brother… you're embarra.s.sing ah!

However, Lin Xiao truly had thick skin as he ignored the people looking at him as he arrived by the square. The square's shape was more like circle with a large statue in the middle. There were also several people who were sitting on the chairs as if they were waiting for someone to come.

"That's notice board," Wenren Yu pointed to the front. "All important announcement should be there."

"Let's go and take a look."

Lin Xiao stood before the board, but his attention was actually at the map that was placed right beside the board. The map allowed him to know the location of some important places. Aside from residential areas, most of the places were marked in the map before him.

After memorizing the map, Lin Xiao looked at the notice board and looked around. His eyes landed on the paper at the edge of the notice board.

"The Street Performance Group is recruiting talented people," Lin Xiao read the notice and looked at Lin Yun with a grin. "Do you think we can enter the group?"

Lin Yun nearly rolled his eyes when he saw Lin Xiao's mischievous look. He shook his head. "What kind of talent do you want to showcase, Brother? You're not exactly good at doing anything."

Besides, the three of them have been living by hunting most of the time aside from learning. How could they have the time to care about street performance when they were already so busy collecting food?

Entertainment didn't really have much use for their usual daily life.

Lin Xiao: "…"

"How about if we go to the auction first?" Wenren Yu suggested as he pointed to another announcement that was posted there. "They're going to have an auction soon and we might need to earn money."

"Oh."

Lin Xiao nodded. They still have the Night Yin Flowers. When he grabbed the flower back then, there were a total of four flowers, so he had asked for more pot from Elder w.a.n.g. If they sold the flower, they should be able to earn considerable amount of money.

"Wait, before that I think I need to know how the currency worked," Lin Xiao stopped Wenren Yu from dragging them to the auction hall.

"Gold coin, silver coin, and bronze coins are commonly use in the city," Wenren Yu replied. He had already visited several cities in the past because of his tasks with his fellow disciples. "With 1 silver coins worth 1000 copper coins, and 1 gold coins worth 1000 silver coins."

"Oh, the same as village?" Lin Xiao asked.

Wenren Yu shook his head. "The most common currency here is silver coins. And except from those normally used coins, there's also Spirit Stones."

"Spirit stones?" Lin Xiao's attention was now attracted.

"Spirit Stones are the items that contains Qi and usually used to trade between cultivators. You can also use the spirit stones to train by absorbing the Qi there," Wenren Yu replied. "However, spirit stones are very expensive and would not be used by normal people."

"How expensive?"

"One spirit stone is usually priced at 10 liang of gold."

Lin Xiao: "…" how can I ever hope to buy one?

Wenren Yu smiled bitterly. "You can only learn how to make Spirit Stones when you reach Golden Core Stage. At that time, you'll undoubtedly become very rich and able to trade with a lot of golds."

"…"

The very first question would be how to reach that stage without getting bankrupt first. With their current financial status, it would be very impossible to even earn a single Spirit Stones.

"is that spirit stones very useful?" Lin Yun asked curiously.

Wenren Yu nodded. "A single spirit stone is enough to help Body Training cultivator to advance a stage."

Lin Xiao: "…." Can I ask for some kindhearted Golden Core Stage Cultivator to give me Spirit stone?
