Chapter 155: Living in the World of Mortals (Extra Six)
Ding Huanyi and his companions ran for three days before finally stopping.
"Little soil, I used to not feel hungry for several days without eating, now I ate several energy capsules a day and still feel hungry."
After Ding Huanyi decided not to flee anymore, Qi Xinyue couldn't help but express what she had been wanting to say all along.
Ding Huanyi nodded, feeling the same hunger.
Now he was almost like an ordinary mortal, eating twice a day, or else he could feel a noticeable hunger.
The energy capsules here seem to be ineffective against hunger.
Qi Xinyue doesn't understand this principle, while Ding Huanyu faintly understands that this must be related to the earth and sky rules.
Ding Huanyi's divine mind had already swept over a city. The city was bustling with people, and the gate had three ancient characters: Jihe City.
Coming from the Luo River and then arriving at Jihe, it seems I have a strong affinity with rivers.
We can stay in this city first and see how things go. He can familiarize himself with the surroundings gradually.
When going to Jihe City, Ding Huanyi had already started calculating in his mind.
However, there are too many strong individuals here, and many of the things he is calculating are blurred and indistinct.
Fortunately, there should be nothing life-threatening happening here. Since there's no need to worry about it, let's just stay here for now.
"Finally, we see the city."
As the group reached the outskirts of Jihe City, Lao Liu involuntarily swallowed his saliva.
Clearly, he was also starving to death, but had been keeping it to himself.
Jihe City is not as big as Siangxiang City. The number of people here is almost equal to that of Siangxiang City.
Compared to Siangxiang City, any race can be found here. In Jihe City, the human race is almost the only one. There are no races like Tauren.
Ding Huanyi and a few others decided to look for a resting inn first.
He took a general look as he entered the city, and it seemed there was a simple defensive array outside Jihe City.
Among the people walking in Jihe City, there are martial artists and cultivators, as well as more ordinary mortals who have not undergone cultivation.
Ding Huanyi, a foundation laying cultivator, didn't feel anything. However, there were many genetic cultivators whose strength was equivalent to levels 3 to 5.
As this was his first time here, Ding Huanyi wasn't sure if the people of Jihe City would be able to fuse various skill genes.
Ding Huanyi chose a hotel that doesn't look too high-end.
"Ordinary rooms cost fifty true yuan per night."
The clerk immediately smiled warmly and approached as he saw Ding Huanyi and his two companions coming in with a pet to stay at the inn.
Zhenye currency.
Ding Huanyi took out a crystal stone he got from Tiao Jie:
"I've run out of Zhenye coins. Can you exchange some for me with this?"
Ding Huanyu knows that this crystal is actually from the same place.
It should be a fragment of some kind of Qi stone. These fragments were brought to Siangxiang Starland by the people from here for trading.
Since it's a product from this place, using it for trade wouldn't be too out of place.
The clerk looked at the crystal fragment Ding Huanyu had in his hand and shook his head:
"You should go to the money house to exchange it, we don't do exchanges here, more or less is not good."
"Thank you."
Ding Huanyu's divine mind has already swept across to the side and found a money house called Yunji Money House.
The clerk felt somewhat strange in his heart as he watched the figures of Ding Huanyi and his companions walking away.
In theory, wouldn't anyone in the True Industry Empire know where to exchange broken yuan crystal for True Industry coins?
Ding Huanyu has already arrived at Yunji Money House, and he doesn't know what the clerk is thinking.
"What's the current market price?"
Upon arriving at Yunji Money House, Ding Huanyi took out a fragment of crystal stone with practiced ease and asked.
The clerk looked at the broken crystal stone in Ding Huanyu's hand:
"It's now three thousand Zhenye coins for one broken crystal stone."
Ding Huanyi furrowed his brow:
"How could it be so low?"
Ding Huanyu is not just pulling a fast one. He knows that in Siangxiang Starland, one crystalline coin can be exchanged for ten thousand purple coins.
He has never seen a crystalline coin, and in his mind, crystalline coins should be made from this kind of broken crystal stone.
According to this exchange ratio, one of his broken crystal stones should be exchanged for ten thousand.
Even with discounts and losses, one cannot be exchanged for three thousand.
The clerk said lazily:
"This is the highest price, if you don't want to exchange it, you can go elsewhere."
Ding Huanyi was helpless, so he took out two broken crystal stones:
"Please exchange these two for me."
The clerk quickly took out six True Industry coins.
Ding Huanyi noticed that each of the True Industry coins was worth one thousand. He immediately put away five thousand:
"This thousand, please exchange it for some small denominations."
The clerk didn't mind, and helped Ding Huanyu take five one hundred-yuan notes, with the rest all being ten-yuan notes.
Ding Huanyi's divine mind swept across the clerk's money cabinet and found that there were also one yuan and five yuan notes inside.
After comparing, Ding Huanyi fully understood.
It's really difficult to counterfeit True Industry coins, because the higher the value of a True Industry coin, the higher the amount of crystalline energy it contains.
And the coin-making technique is very sophisticated, locking all the qi elements in the crystalline energy.
Once the qi elements within it disappear, the True Industry coin is likely to collapse.
...
With six thousand True Industry coins, Ding Huanyi immediately purchased several introductory books about the human culture and geography of the Starland.
Among them were introductions to the civilian world of the Three Realms Starland, the True Industry Empire, and Jihe City.
Ding Huanyu wanted to buy some introductions to the cultivator world and the realm of cultivation, but he couldn't find them in the mortal world.
After buying good things, Ding Huanyi and his companions went to eat immediately.
They were simply too hungry.
The staple food here is also rice, and wild animal meat is simply roasted or steamed, without any cooking methods.
The only advantage is that it's large and satisfying.
Lao Liu demonstrated through his actions why he was so overweight, telling Ding Huanyi and the others.
However, Ding Huanyu was thinking as he ate, wondering why he could go without food for a long time on Earth and Siangxiang Starland, but he was hungry so quickly here.
If it's as he guessed, how can one touch the earth and sky rules?
Is touching the earth and sky rules the true beginning of the path of cultivation?
With Ding Huanyu's current knowledge and strength, it's impossible for him to figure it out.
After finishing their meal, Ding Huanyi paid a total of one hundred and twenty True Industry coins.
This made Ding Huanyu feel that True Industry coins really don't go far.
Instead of going to the previous inn, Ding Huanyu and his party switched to Youshi Inn this time.
Unlike other inns, Youshi Inn was not quiet.
Because the first floor of Youshi Inn is a rest house, or more accurately, a teahouse.
The difference between a rest house and an inn is that an inn can accommodate guests, while a rest house caters to individual travelers.
Here, you can enjoy tea and snacks, and even have a drink.
Ding Huanyu wasn't here for cultivation; he stayed at the inn to gather information about the mortal world.
Choosing an inn with a rest house and a teahouse was also to be able to learn more about the events in the Three Realms Starland.
This time, the rooms were more luxurious, with three people plus Lao Liu making it four rooms in total. The cost for one night was nearly three hundred True Industry coins.
Ding Huanyu only had six thousand True Industry coins, and he had spent some on notebooks and food, so he needed to find a way to make money quickly or else he would truly be living off his savings.
"Thank you, brother Ding. If it weren't for you, I might still be on the streets."
Lao Liu was grateful beyond words for choosing the inn.
Brother Ding is very loyal. Although their relationship is not deep, seeing as they both come from Siangxiang Starland, Brother Ding has been very considerate of him.
Ding Huanyu patted down Lao Liu and said:
"Don't worry, if there's a cultivation world here, it's definitely possible for them to recruit disciples in the mortal world. I'll go find out in a moment."
You can cultivate, which means you must have spiritual roots, and you're sure to be able to enter the cultivation world."
Ding Huanyu is sure that Lao Liu has spiritual roots because he can practice, and the practice he does isn't any gene techniques.
Qi Xinyue has never fused genes but still able to practice, this naturally also has spiritual roots.
The only thing he worries about is himself, as his spiritual roots were generated from a gene spiritual root elixir.
Because everyone had a room, Lao Liu's first thing to do when he returned to his room was to attempt to breakthrough to the foundation-laying realm.
This guy is completely obsessed with attempting to breakthrough to the foundation-laying realm, as soon as he finds a new place, he will definitely try to breakthrough.
On the spaceship, he was restricted by Ding Huanyu from practicing, otherwise this guy would have definitely attempted to breakthrough to the foundation-laying realm on the spaceship.
As soon as Ding Huanyu arrived in his room, he took out several books on human geography and history to study.
Half an hour later, Ding Huanyu threw the notebooks into the starry house.
He roughly understood the kind of place he was in.
There is no detailed introduction to the Three Realms Starland, but the mortal world he is currently in is actually an empire world.
There are hundreds of large empires in the mortal world, and countless small and medium-sized empires.
These empires are basically founded by descendants of the cultivator world or by cultivators from the cultivator world who cannot advance.
Practically all empires have some kind of relationship with the cultivator world, those without any connection have long since disappeared in the dust of history.
The True Industry Empire is no exception, and they have a deep relationship with the cultivator world, providing various convenient services to the cultivator world's background.
And their backers will also provide them with protection.
True Industry coins are one of them.
True Industry coins are not ordinary coins that can be made by mortal workshops, but are instead made by powerful cultivators from the cultivator world through array laws, crystalline elements, and certain metal materials.
With the cultivation techniques integrated into them, these coins are difficult to counterfeit.
The currency of other empires are similar, with some currencies being commonly used among empires with good relations.
What concerns Ding Huanyu the most is the day when the cultivator world comes to recruit disciples in the True Industry Empire. According to the introduction in the True Industry Empire notebooks.
The cultivator world's major sects recruit disciples in the mortal world twice a year, once on a large scale, which is at the beginning of the year, and once on a moderate scale, which is in the middle of the year.
Ding Huanyu looked at the time and saw that there was still over a month until the middle of the year.
