Two Realms: From Glass Beads to Divine Skills, Invincible

Chapter 40: The Arrest Notice Posted by the Government Office.

Tiger bone....

Xia Miaomiao blinked and said without thinking, "There are plenty. If you want them, Junior Brother Chen, I'll have Aunt Mei give them to you..."

But before she could finish speaking, she seemed to remember something, looked around, and showed an expression of shame.

"Ah, I mean, if we were at home, we could have as many tiger bones as we wanted, but here on this mountain..."

Xia Miaomiao looked troubled.

"Senior Sister Miaomiao, can I go home with you?" Bai Chen asked tentatively.

"No, you'll be beheaded."

Xia Miaomiao was startled and quickly waved her hand in refusal.

"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. I'm not going home with you." Seeing the other person's strong reaction, Bai Chen didn't know what else to say.

"I'll give you the money instead. I'll have Aunt Mei bring it over in a bit," Xia Miaomiao said weakly.

"good!"

Bai Chen nodded.

This thing could sell for ten thousand taels of silver, which was beyond his expectations. If there was no tiger bone, then so be it.

It's as if I've remembered something.

Bai Chen then asked, "By the way, Senior Sister Miaomiao, I need some cash later. Do you have any cash, or gold of equivalent value?"

It is worth mentioning that,

The currency exchange rate in the Martial Continent is calculated as follows:

1 tael of gold = 10 taels of silver = 10000 copper coins.

Ordinary people mostly used copper coins in their daily lives, and only used silver for large transactions such as slaughtering pigs and sheep or selling houses.

They also habitually strung a thousand copper coins together with a rope, which corresponded to one tael of silver, and named the string "guan".

This is what people often refer to as a string of cash.

and so.

For Bai Chen, settling accounts in gold would definitely be the most cost-effective option.

Unfortunately, Yong'an City was too remote, and the money shops didn't have any gold, so he couldn't profit from the exchange rate difference.

Otherwise, there would be no need to trade resources between the two worlds. You could simply buy silver in modern society and then exchange it for gold in the Martial Continent to make a fortune.

Of course, these are just side notes.

Meanwhile, when Xia Miaomiao heard Bai Chen ask if there was any cash, she immediately shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Junior Brother Chen, I only have silver notes."

Perhaps out of guilt, Xia Miaomiao spoke up again, "However, I can have Aunt Mei go to the city to cash it out, whether it's gold or silver, it's fine."

"If it's silver, I can bring it to you tomorrow, Junior Brother Chen. If it's gold, it'll be a bit further away, so you'll have to wait a few more days."

After hearing Xia Miaomiao's words.

After a moment's hesitation, Bai Chen said, "Aunt Mei is such a frail woman; if she goes to withdraw cash alone, what if something happens on the way..."

This place is not safe. There are robbers everywhere on the road. Even though he dared not be careless in the slightest and kept his submachine gun ready to fire at any time, he still had to be careful.

However, he forgot that in the Martial Continent, martial arts are revered, and martial arts training depends solely on talent, not gender.

Xia Miaomiao tilted her head and blinked her eyes as she said, "Junior Brother Chen, Aunt Mei is not a delicate woman. Even Master Xuanqing might not be a match for her."

Even Master Xuanqing might not be a match for Aunt Mei?

Bai Chen was startled by these words, for Xuanqing Daoist was a Xiantian martial artist.

But on second thought, it makes perfect sense!

Judging from the other party's previous words about "father", it's not unreasonable for a royal family to have a master of innate skill by their side, right?

However, what intrigued him was that if Xia Miaomiao was truly a young lady from a noble family, why would she come to such a remote place as Yong'an City?

What's the inside story behind this?

Bai Chen's thoughts were racing.

Until a pair of soft, delicate hands waved in front of his eyes, and he heard a girl calling his name.

"Hey, Junior Brother Chen, I'm asking you a question. Do you want cash or gold?"

"Oh, okay, then let's change it to gold," Bai Chen said, coming back to his senses.

He could wait a few days. Before, he had no choice but to use silver, but now that he had a choice, he would definitely choose gold.

"Alright, it's settled then. I'll go and have Aunt Mei go down the mountain to get the silver now."

Xia Miaomiao was very happy, her eyes smiling like crescent moons. She tightly gripped the glass bead in her hand and skipped away.

...

A quiet spot on the back of Qingyun Mountain.

Aunt Mei, dressed in a long veil, sat cross-legged and exhaled, her body radiating a faint halo, like a celestial being.

suddenly.

She stopped exhaling and opened her eyes.

A series of footsteps approached, and Xia Miaomiao skipped and hopped over to her, saying:

"Auntie Mei, Auntie Mei, I bought this crystal from Junior Brother Chen for only 50,000 taels! Isn't it beautiful?"

"The texture is as clear as water, without any impurities. Fifty thousand taels is not expensive." Aunt Mei nodded slightly and smiled in response.

Then.

Xia Miaomiao then recounted what had happened and concluded by saying, "I'll trouble Aunt Mei to make a trip to the city and retrieve five thousand taels of gold for me."

"You're too kind, Miss. I'll go right away."

Aunt Mei nodded in agreement.

next moment.

Her figure was like a ghost, disappearing from the spot in an instant, and reappearing a hundred meters away.

Xia Miaomiao, standing to the side, showed no surprise at the strange scene, as if it were commonplace.

...

On the way to the prefecture city, you will pass through Yong'an City.

now.

At the city gate of Yong'an City, a large crowd of people were gathered, pointing and commenting on a portrait posted on the city wall.

"What a ruthless man! He killed several police officers, even the head constable."

"The government is offering a reward of five hundred taels of silver. If I can capture this thief, I'll be rich."

"Hmph, others can kill several police officers, even the head constable is dead, and you still think you can take him down?"

"This world is truly turbulent."

...

The people were talking a lot.

A woman dressed in a long white dress was passing through Yong'an City when she curiously looked at the wall.

When he saw the portrait on the wall clearly, he couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

The portrait on the wall was none other than the junior brother Ah Chen that their young mistress had mentioned.

"You killed a head constable of the imperial court?"

Aunt Mei frowned slightly.

She had met Bai Chen, an ordinary martial artist who wasn't even at the Acquired Realm level, and whose body was emanating a putrid, plague-like aura. While he wasn't exactly weak, he was certainly a complete novice.

In contrast, the head constables of the imperial court, according to regulations, must at least be martial artists at the Acquired Realm.

She couldn't understand how Bai Chen had managed to kill the head constable.

"I hope this doesn't affect the young lady!"

Aunt Mei shook her head, her figure transforming into a ghost, appearing a hundred meters away in just a few steps.

Surprisingly, the surrounding people seemed oblivious to this strange occurrence, as if they were all blind.

.....

Let's not mention Aunt Mei, who went to the state capital to retrieve the gold.

This side of the back mountain of Qingyun Mountain.

Several days later.

Bai Chen is practicing the static breathing technique of the health-preserving standing meditation.

He planned to travel back to the real world to get tiger bones once Xia Miaomiao's five thousand taels of gold arrived.

There was no other way; the effects of the ox bone were too weak, and his current condition simply didn't allow for such a slow and leisurely cultivation.

however.

Xia Miaomiao's gold never arrived, but Daoist Xuanqing returned ahead of schedule.

"Master Bai, Abbot Xuanqing has returned and requests your presence at the Sanqing Hall."

Han Shuisheng jogged over, panting, and said...
