Chapter 136 Genuine, Method
Zhou Chen and Young Master Lin arrived at Sword Furnace City after riding for a day.
Sword Furnace City was a very flourishing ancient city. Most of the buildings inside carried a feeling of vicissitudes. There were people entering and exiting the city, and there were endless carriages. If one was inside, they could feel the lively atmosphere that was not inferior to that of the cities on Planet Blue.
"Young Master Li, my house is just ahead."
Young Master Lin brought Zhou Chen to his house. They rode on horses and slowly moved on the crowded streets of Sword Furnace City. After several turns, they arrived at the entrance of a mansion in the middle of the street.
"Brother Lin, your house is really impressive." Zhou Chen praised Young Master Lin as he got off the horse.
"That's right. My Lin family is one of the top forces on Iron Sword Street."
Young Master Lin happily accepted Zhou Chen's praise, as if he was proud of his family's influence.
Zhou Chen was not speaking completely out of flattery. His house indeed looked very large. It looked like a mansion from a period drama. There were pink walls surrounding the mansion and green willows planted inside. If there were a few more guards standing at the entrance, they would look exactly the same.
Young Master Lin led Zhou Chen through the door of his house, then through the long stone path in the courtyard to the main hall. He served tea to Zhou Chen while instructing some servants to prepare a banquet.
The rest of the time was unproductive. As Young Master Lin's friend, Zhou Chen had a sumptuous meal at his house, drank some wine with him, and bragged a little before leaving together.
Zhou Chen had requested to go out. He wanted to see the true appearance of the white jade token as soon as possible.
"Brother Li, looks like you've decided to go to the White Jade Capital as well? Then you have to hurry. If you're short on money, I can lend you some silver."
On the way to buy a token, Young Master Lin said to Zhou Chen very politely.
Zhou Chen naturally expressed that he appreciated his good intentions and expressed that he would resolve this problem.
Before long, they passed through Iron Sword Street and arrived at the most prosperous Jade Sword Street Young Master Lin spoke of. They entered a luxurious shop called the Golden Jade Hall.
According to Young Master Lin, this place had been selling white jade tokens recently.
They came before a room that had many guards guarding it and several security checks.
They were led inside under the escort of a few elite guards dressed in the golden white matching clothes of the Golden Jade Hall. There was a small opened box on the counter, on which there were three small white jade tokens that gave off a strange brilliance.
These white jade tokens looked to be less than half the size of an adult's palm. It was rectangular with rounded corners and had strange cloud-like patterns engraved on the surface, looking very magnificent.
'These white jade tokens are indeed difficult to forge. Not only do they have a unique appearance, but they also give off an indescribable feeling of majesty.'
When he saw the white jade tokens, Zhou Chen understood why Young Master Lin had said that no one could forge it. This was not only because it emitted that strange light, but also because it could directly cause the surrounding people to have a very special feeling, as if they were in the clouds. This feeling was unforgettable as long as they experienced it once.
The next step was to buy the goods. Young Master Lin haggled with the people of the Golden Jade Hall and finally used 1120 taels of silver to buy a white jade token.
"It's too expensive. Their Golden Jade Hall must have collected many white jade tokens, but they insist that there are only three left and have inflated the price by so much."
Young Master Lin was a little displeased that he had been scammed, but he had no choice. He could only grumble a little.
"Brother Li, what do you plan to do?" After obtaining the white jade token, Young Master Lin asked about Zhou Chen's plan.
"I plan to gather money once I finish some matters," Zhou Chen replied.
Then, Zhou Chen asked Young Master Lin to guide him around the Sword Furnace City and introduce the key locations. For example, the entrance of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect, the missions noticeboard, and so on.
It was not until the afternoon that Zhou Chen bid farewell to Young Master Lin.
After bidding farewell to Young Master Lin, Zhou Chen went to various places to gather information and confirmed that all the information he knew about the White Jade Capital was basically true.
In this ancient city protected by a large sect, the warriors' knowledge was clearly higher than other places. Many people knew of the existence of the White Jade Capital and did not treat it as a legend.
In the end, he checked in to an inn called Fortune at night.
'I have to obtain this white jade token, but I don't have enough money on me right now. If only I had gone to Caelian City to obtain the bounty…'
Zhou Chen was now slightly regretful that he had not gone to Caelian City to get the reward money when he set off from Phoenix Ridge City. If he had gone, although there would still be insufficient money now, the gap would be smaller.
"I have to earn 1000 silver taels in ten days… Judging from the missions in this city, few have such a high reward."
Zhou Chen realized that it was very difficult to earn so much money in such a short period of time. Unless gold fell from the sky, it would be difficult to gather it even if he exhausted himself to death.
"Looks like I can only go and rob, but whom to rob? I don't even know how many people have white jade tablets. If I go and rob those shops, the risk will be huge."
Zhou Chen did not know a suitable target even if he wanted to snatch the white jade token. He only knew that Young Master Lin had the white jade token, but he would not have any thoughts on him. He believed that he was not that shameless.
"Or should I search the surrounding mountains? My Beast King passive skill might be helpful."
He then thought of the most simple method, which was also the locations of all the white jade tokens in this world, to search the various mountains.
"Let's do this first. I hope the little animals can help."
Zhou Chen felt that this matter of obtaining the white jade token was more difficult than he had expected, giving him a headache.
Feeling that things were a little troublesome, he shook his head and sat up from the bed to begin the Card Creator meditation.
The Card Creator's meditation was not only a form of homework for him, but also a special way to relax.
However, just as he meditated for a while, a thought suddenly flashed in his mind, making him think of a possibility to resolve his current predicament.
"This method seems to be worth a try, but I have to confirm if I'm good enough first."
He was a little excited. He quickly took out a piece of tree bark paper and a quill and began to practice creating cards.
Before long, some magic cards appeared in the room. At the same time, Zhou Chen sighed in surprise.
"It seems to be possible. I was too stubborn previously.. This Card Creator class's combat ability is not good, but it is very good at doing this."
