Chapter 51: Trade
"Alright, let’s send a group just in case. This mission is incredibly important, and nothing can go wrong," Black reiterated. Their meeting swiftly concluded as each of them departed for their respective regions.
Unbeknownst to Adrian, he had just become a man with a target on his back.
The next few days were spent in peace. Adrian would spend his days practising his sword techniques and alchemy, while his nights were spent cultivating inside the blood star.
Cultivating in the presence of the rainbow rose was much better than cultivating in his room, so the choice was a no-brainer. Of course, he had to take note of the time, he didn’t want the kids to freak out if they one day came into his room and didn’t find him there.
He obviously didn’t want to inform them about the blood star. It wasn’t that he didn’t trust them, but that the information would do them no good. It might even bring harm to them.
After about a week, Adrian sets out into the city again. His funds had already run out a long time ago, and they were only surviving off the money he had left behind before his trip into the mountains.
One would have expected that he would have made a fortune from the space ring of the disciples of the Cloudcrest sect, however, the reality was disappointing. All of them had very few qi stones. Their storage rings were mostly filled with some rank 1 and 2 pills that weren’t useful to him. Some herbs which they had discovered were also present.
He chuckled a bit when he remembered the scene of Robert yelling at him for his lack of funds when in reality, he was the poorest of them all.
Of course, their lack of qi stones didn’t mean they were poor. Most sects preferred to use a different form of currency known as ’sect points’. The resources in most sects can only be accessed through sect points, which makes qi stones useless for disciples of sects.
