Chapter 11: Test
This city was quite big. He didn't know if other cities of the Zhou kingdom were as big as this or not, but in his opinion, this city really was quite big to be just a border city.
There wasn't much that had changed from before. He had visited about 2 years ago, and the shops were still similar with just some minor improvements.
The streets were crowded, even though it was quite early morning.
People of his village mainly came here for trading grains, fruits, and some livestock to earn coins. There was a special area in this city made only for trading with local villages situated nearby the city.
He made his way deeper inside the city to find a good inn for his stay here. He knew one of the cheapest ones where he had stayed last time, but since people were misunderstanding his status, he thought it better to maintain the facade for the time being.
He wasn't truly poor. The spatial ring he was wearing contained a lot of spirit stones. He didn't know the true value of spirit stones, but after reading the notes left behind by Senior Hu Tian, he knew that even in the upper world they were valued very much. So, he didn't doubt how priceless they were in this world.
Not to mention, his ring contained higher and superior-grade spirit stones, which were rarer even in the upper world. He doubted that spirit stones of that grade even existed in this world. So, right now, he might be the richest person in this city.
As he was walking through the streets, he noticed that there were a lot of cultivators in this city. In fact, they were more than the mortals walking on the streets, which was quite unusual.
He had to find someone to get information from.
"We are recruiting for exploration of the Dark Forest. Strength required is the peak of Stage 9 of Qi Refinement or higher"
As he was contemplating what to do, he heard a shout from a man. When he looked over, he saw a group of 7 young people.
