In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 50 What was the most valuable thing in ancient times?

"Huoshan, this is a bit..."

Zhu Wenjie didn't look too good.

Xie Ling thought to herself, "I agree. Whoever gets the spoils should naturally keep them. It's only right."

From the other party's perspective, this request is not unreasonable.

If it were me, I wouldn't want to take on a burden, let alone want to share the spoils.
Now, after all, I am the one who needs their help.

Since Jin Su said that the Ten Directions Domain was too dangerous for him, he would not be arrogant and ignore her.

Let's just tag along with the others for now and see how things go.

Their attitude was already quite good.

Cui Hong said, "In that case, let's not waste any more time, since we only have three days."

"We need to get some money from this era first, make preparations, and then go to Luohunpo."

"Row."

Zhu Wenjie and the others nodded.

Experts have already explored this area; you can buy maps directly from Best Buy.

Zhu Wenjie and the others had already bought theirs, but Xie Lingxin hadn't; she really didn't have the money.

This is one of the reasons why he shamelessly tries to freeload off others.

Without a map, he didn't know if three days would be enough time for him to find his way.

Wancheng is about 30 li away from here, which is not far.

What do we need the money for?

On the way, Xie Lingxin asked Zhu Wenjie in a low voice.

Zhu Wenjie scratched his head, seemingly unfamiliar with the question: "After all, we're dealing with legendary beings, so we have to be well-prepared, like having weapons and such, right?"

"But the only things that can be brought into the domain are legendary items, which are all treasures that not everyone has."

He then pointed to Cui Hong in front of him: "The Cui family of Leizhou, although not as powerful as the Chen family, is still a first-rate clan. They have a family tradition of paper-cutting soldiers, which allows them to transform paper into weapons and mythical beasts. They are very powerful."

"But the paper we need also needs to be specially treated, so we definitely have to prepare it in advance."

"And then there's Liu Sanxian, who's a master of willow-leaf throwing knives. He can slice off all the meat from dozens of meters away, leaving only bones. You'd have to pay to have that done."

"Among us, only Huo Shan has a family heirloom, the Evil-Repelling Golden Knife, a legendary item that can be conjured at will, disregarding the boundaries between reality and the realm."

Speaking of this, Zhu Wenjie's eyes revealed envy.

Their family does have some legendary items, but it's not his turn to use them yet.

Xie Lingxin had learned something new. She glanced at him and asked curiously, "And what about you?"

Zhu Wenjie smiled shyly: "I'm good at boxing, so there's no need for such trouble."

That's good, I just happen to need to refine the Yellow God's Transcendental Chapter anyway.

……

Wancheng.

Several people walked among them.

"I heard this is a big city, but it doesn't look like much."

Liu Sanxian pouted.

She grew up in a major federal city, and the prosperity of the Federation was naturally incomparable to that of this ancient era.

Others had similar thoughts.

However, this ancient city also has its own unique charm.

Besides them, most of the other people who were training together this time also appeared in Wancheng.

Clearly, like them, they all need to prepare first.

Having had their fill of the novelty, Liu Sanxian asked, "How are we going to make money? We can't just rob people, can we?"

Cui Hong said, "Of course not. It would be too noisy and could easily violate the Domain Law."

“I can set up a fortune-telling stall. You all think about what you can do.”

Xie Lingxin glanced at him curiously. Fortune telling?

Zhu Wenjie whispered, "Besides the art of paper-cutting soldiers, the Cui family also has a unique divination technique called grass divination, which uses plants to predict good or bad fortune, and the divination is very accurate."

Wow, that's amazing!

Xie Lingxin gave a sincere thumbs up.

The people of the Federation are truly a hidden force of talent.

Huo Shan said, "I don't need to prepare much, it won't cost much money. I'll go perform martial arts! I heard that in ancient times, there were many martial arts practitioners who could earn a lot of money!"

Zhu Wenjie exclaimed excitedly, "Then I'll go with you!"

Xie Lingxin felt something was off.

These individuals are all considered highly skilled cultivators and undoubtedly the pride of their respective families. However, they still seem to have the temperament of unruly children.

Liu Sanxian looked distressed and drawled, "Ah~ you all have ideas, what am I supposed to do? I can't exactly go and perform for money with you all, can I?"

"I won't do it! It's too embarrassing!"

"Hey, what about you?"

She suddenly turned to look at Xie Lingxin.

"Ah I?"

Xie Lingxin pointed to herself.

Is there something else going on in this?
I wasn't just rubbing against it, was I?

"Oh well, whatever, I wasn't counting on you anyway!"

Before he could speak, Liu Sanxian waved his hand again and sighed, "If only I had learned more from those monsters in the Ancient Scriptures, and memorized some ancient scriptures and classics."

Xie Lingxin asked curiously, "Why are you carrying this thing?"

"Of course, we sell them for money!"

Liu Sanxian looked at him as if he didn't even know this: "In ancient times, what was the most valuable thing?"

"what?"

Knowledge!

Liu Sanxian covered his forehead, as if to say, "You've defeated me!"
“In ancient times, it wasn’t like we are now. Information was not shared, and it was difficult to read and write. Do you know how rare it was to have a book? It was something that could be passed down through generations!”

Xie Lingxin opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything.

No problem!
Ultimately, wasn't knowledge the most valuable thing in ancient times?

What do those aristocratic families rely on to pass down their legacy? It's nothing more than their monopoly on knowledge!
Makes sense!
But it just felt strange coming from this girl...

"what?"

As they were talking, Xie Lingxin suddenly noticed a shop banner hanging not far away, with a large character for "book" written on it.

It turned out to be a bookstore, and quite a large one at that.

"Hey? Where are you going?"

Liu Sanxian was puzzled when he saw him walk straight to the side.

Didn't you say that knowledge is the most valuable thing?

Xie Lingxin walked towards the bookstore, turning back to say, "Going to sell knowledge!"

"you?"

Liu Sanxian really wanted to say, "How dare you, a shameless person who wants to freeload, say such big words?"
But Xie Lingxin had already gone far away, not giving her a chance.

Driven by curiosity, she quickly followed.

The remaining three, Zhu Wenjie and his companion, looked at each other, equally curious, and were no longer in a hurry to perform.

Xie Lingxin didn't rush in; she stood outside and observed for a while.

I discovered that this place had a strong literary atmosphere, with many people wearing long gowns coming and going.

Moreover, these people came not to buy books, but to copy them.

Because this bookstore doesn't sell books at all, it sells tea!
People who come here to drink tea can copy the books here.

This delighted Xie Lingxin.

Indeed, knowledge is wealth!
"What are you looking at?"

Liu Sanxian and his companions caught up at this moment.

Xie Lingxin didn't respond and went straight inside.

He was dressed in a wide-sleeved robe, and the shopkeeper in the bookstore took him for a scholar and came to greet him.

As for Zhu Wenjie and the others behind him, he treated them as his followers.

The only problem is that they didn't understand the background of this era at all. When they were visualizing their own bodies, they wore form-fitting clothes in order to look cool.

In the shopkeeper's eyes, they were dressed in short clothes, and were either servants or commoners!

"Is this your first time here, young man? Which meridian do you wish to treat?"

The shopkeeper was neither servile nor arrogant, unlike a typical street merchant.

They didn't come up to sell tea, but asked about medical treatments.

"What does that mean? What did he say?"

Liu Sanxian approached Zhu Wenjie and the other two from behind and asked in a low voice.

"Uh……"

The three of them looked at each other.

That’s unethical!
