The fleet from Canghai City on Yunteng Island finally set sail. This time, many cultivators who wanted to travel to other islands boarded this fleet. Standing on the deck, Lin Chengsi looked at the island before him and secretly made up his mind.
"I must obtain the Purple Sun Divine Stone and restore the glory of my family."
He knew that his nephew Xu Xing was probably somewhere, quietly watching the fleet leave. But he really couldn't afford to delay any longer. If he missed this opportunity, who knew when he would be able to go to Bi Bo Island again?
At this time, in the fleet, there was a pair of master and apprentice, looking at the sea in the distance with excitement. These two were Yuda and his apprentice Xiang An, and their destination was also Bi Bo Island.
Following Jiang Yun's reminder, they left Ziyang City and prepared to head to the East Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm, boarding the same fleet that had followed the Qingyun Sect's spiritual boat. Now, they finally had the chance to go to Bibo Island. Finally, they could return to their sect.
At this time, Jiang Yun was walking quietly on the streets of Biyun City. He finally came here not for any purpose, but simply to see the city.
Since realizing the importance of state of mind, Jiang Yun no longer practiced hard all the time. Instead, he would come to Biyun City every once in a while to see if there were any mortal artifacts he could find.
In order to prevent being disturbed by other cultivators, Jiang Yun would change his appearance, hide his cultivation level, and pretend to be a casual cultivator who had just entered the world of immortal cultivation.
In the East China Sea's immortal cultivation world, all cultivators agree that the foundation of a straight path cultivator is mortal. Therefore, many islands, especially those near Bibo Island, lack spiritual caves and have extremely thin spiritual energy. Consequently, there are virtually no cultivators residing there.
Instead, the islands were completely left to mortals to govern. The Biyun Sect only sent people to test their spiritual roots once a year. They also distributed many low-level, basic cultivation manuals on the various islands. If a lucky individual obtained a manual and cultivated magical powers, they would automatically come to Biyun City.
Jiang Yun was playing such a role at this time. He seemed to have just arrived on the island and was curious about everything. He strolled in the outer city of Biyun City.
Most of the people living here are mortals and cultivators in the early stages of Qi Refining. Many cultivators who have just arrived on the big island will come here to live temporarily.
"Chuanbing, big, hot chuanbing, fresh from the oven, fragrant! One copper coin each!"
A man selling pancakes with a shoulder pole on his shoulder walked over shouting. Jiang Yun saw his short stature and immediately thought of a famous story from his previous life.
"Copper coins?"
Jiang Yun originally thought that the money used here was silver coins, but he didn't expect there were copper coins? Seeing this, he called out to the man selling pancakes,
"Give me a pancake!"
"Okay! Little Immortal Master, I'll make you some pancakes."
The middle-aged man heard someone wanted some pancakes and hurried back with his shoulder pole. One look at Jiang Yun's attire told him he was an immortal master. Here, immortal masters weren't everywhere, but you'd see them almost every day. He enthusiastically wrapped a hot pancake in brown paper and handed it to Jiang Yun.
Then he looked at Jiang Yun eagerly, preparing for him to pay the bill.
"Uh," Jiang Yun didn't have any copper coins, so he rummaged through his storage bag for a while and took out a low-grade spirit stone.
"Hey, that's not possible. If you want to eat it, I'll give it to you. I can't afford this."
"Take it, I'll give you some money in exchange."
Seeing that the other party was about to leave, Jiang Yun put the spirit stone into his hand without saying anything.
"Hey, I don't have that much money."
"It's okay. Tell me how to exchange the spirit stones for the currency you use."
After hearing what Jiang Yun said, the man selling pancakes looked at Jiang Yun in surprise, but still talked about the exchange rate and said where he could go to exchange it.
"So, the best place to exchange money is the official money exchange in the city. And then there's the black market?"
"Yes, although the prices on the black market are high, one immortal stone can be exchanged for over 10,000 copper coins. But there are so many people there, and you never know if you'll be targeted. So it's best to go to an official exchange. One immortal stone is 10,000 copper coins, which is equivalent to one gold coin, right?"
Jiang Yun learned from the pancake seller that in Bi Bo Island and the nearby Bi Yun Gate, the three currency units used were copper coins, silver coins, and gold coins.
The copper coins were similar to those in the mortal world of Yunluo, with a hole in the middle. One thousand copper coins were strung together to form a string, and one string of copper coins could be exchanged for one silver coin, and ten silver coins could be exchanged for one gold coin.
"The money business is really lucrative."
An idea flashed through Jiang Yun's mind. In the world of immortal cultivation, although gold has a price, it is not so high. In the mortal world, one spirit stone is worth one gold coin.
"Little Immortal Master, are you going to exchange copper coins? How about joining us?"
When the pancake seller saw that the other party had no coins, he immediately suggested that they go to exchange them together, because he was now burdened with a huge amount of spirit stones, and it was not safe to go alone.
"Okay, take me there, let's go to Qianhao."
After hearing Jiang Yun's words, the pancake seller's face was full of smiles. He had made a fortune this time. The income from one gold coin was equivalent to his income for almost a year. The two of them walked for a while before arriving in front of an ordinary-looking house.
"Biyun Money Shop." Jiang Yun looked up and saw four powerful, bold characters hanging on the door frame. It looked like no one was coming to exchange money; it was basically deserted.
"Because immortal stones are rarely seen here during the Immortal Realm, there are basically no people coming here."
The pancake seller put his pancake carrying pole aside and looked at Jiang Yun timidly. Jiang Yun immediately understood that the other party wanted him to take the lead. After all, a mortal is inherently inferior to a cultivator.
"Daoyou want to exchange money?"
After Jiang Yun and the pancake-making man entered, the Biyun Sect monk who was sitting in the money room, bored, saw someone coming in and quickly wiped his eyes. Seeing that it was a cultivator in the early stage of Qi Refining, he immediately asked enthusiastically.
"Yes, bring out your copper, silver, and gold coins. I'll exchange them."
After Jiang Yun finished speaking, he placed five spirit stones on the counter with a snap.
The cultivator exchanged by Biyun Sect was also in the early stage of Qi Refining, and seemed to be an outer sect servant. Well, usually not many people come here, so there won't be any benefits.
"Okay, fellow Daoist, wait a moment."
The other party looked at the spirit stone in front of him, and hurriedly took out a string of copper coins, a few glittering gold coins, and silver coins from the cabinet under the counter.
Jiang Yun had heard of silver coins before when he bought antiques, but this was his first time seeing silver and gold coins. He had just seen copper coins, so he picked up the silver coin and began to caress and examine it.
"It's really good,"
Jiang Yun looked at the silver coins in front of him and immediately understood why no one came to exchange them at the Biyun Sect's bank.
