Traveling to Ancient Times: My Space Contains Weapons

Chapter 647 This continent produces jade essence

He remembered the box; it was something Du Yueshen had brought to apologize for yesterday.

Since they gave it to me, I should give them face and open it to take a look.

So Chu Chen stepped forward and opened the lid.

But the next moment, he froze!

"Holy crap, they give this as a gift? Does this continent even know how to use this?"

Inside the small box, twenty neatly arranged green stones were placed.

Seeing this, Chu Chen directly took out a piece of jade essence that had not yet been absorbed from his spatial storage.

Then, after comparing the two, it was immediately confirmed that what Du Yueshen had given him was jade essence!

"Haha, great! I never expected to use this as a gift on this continent."

After saying that, Chu Chen put the box into his spatial storage, then pushed open the door and walked out.

Outside the room, several timid young girls were waiting with towels and other items.

Upon seeing Chu Chen emerge, they rushed forward to greet him: "We will help you get up, senior!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen looked at them and thought, "Good heavens, another first-rank expert."

"You possess strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, so why are you content to be mere servants?"

Chu Chen glanced at them, then asked in confusion.

When the three maids heard Chu Chen ask this question, they looked at him with puzzled expressions, thinking to themselves that this man was a powerful expert at the Earth Realm, so why did he seem to lack common sense?

But then I thought about it again, how could a high-ranking Earth Realm expert possibly understand the living conditions of people like them from the bottom of society?

But the leading maid immediately had a plan. If she could curry favor with this person and gain access to abundant cultivation resources, wouldn't she be able to rise to the top in one step?

So he quickly replied to Chu Chen, "Senior, we people who live at the very bottom of society are just trying to earn a little bit of jade essence to improve our strength."

Holy crap, jade essence, they're also called jade essence, and they can be used for cultivation.

This is outrageous. Looks like I've come to the right place.

Since it can be used for cultivation, there must be places where jade essence is concentrated. Wouldn't it be great to secretly go and pluck a handful?

"Senior, we are all pitiful people!"

"It's a bit hot today, how about I help you take a bath so you can feel refreshed!"

Seeing that Chu Chen remained silent, the maidservant proceeded to express her intense desire.

Chu Chen understood what she meant. Why the hell would she take a bath so early in the morning? But this girl was really going all out.

Since I urgently need to understand how to use the jade essence in this world, why not go with the flow and give her this opportunity?

So he glanced at the maid who had spoken, and saw that she was pretty and had a good figure, so he readily agreed.

"Everyone else, leave first. Come with me. Perfect timing, we've been traveling all this way, we should take a shower!"

Upon hearing this, the maid immediately beamed with joy. As long as she was given a chance, she could firmly grasp the senior's roots and climb up the ladder of success.

The other maids immediately became unhappy upon hearing Chu Chen's instructions.

Thinking to myself that such a good opportunity had been snatched away by someone else, I realized I needed to put in more effort with the person in charge so I could prepare for such opportunities in the future.

After the two entered the room, the maidservant busied herself with preparations.

A large wooden tub was filled with plenty of hot water, and various flower petals were thoughtfully scattered inside.

She then walked to Chu Chen's side and said, "Senior, let me help you undress!"

Looking at the enthusiastic maid, Chu Chen took a step back and said, "Alright, I'll do it myself, but I want to see another side of you!"

Upon hearing Chu Chen's words, the maid immediately began to rustle.

Seeing this, Chu Chen quickly stopped him, thinking to himself, "Damn, what an expert! I wonder how many seniors he must have climbed up to to develop such nimble movements."

"Hold on, what I mean is, I want to see how you cultivate using jade essence."

After saying that, Chu Chen produced two pieces of jade essence and handed them to her.

Upon seeing this, the girl immediately took it: "Senior, let's start cultivating now!"

After saying that, he grabbed the jade essence and sat down on the bed with an air of authority, but in his heart he was thinking, why is this senior so abnormal, why does he like to watch people cultivate?

Chu Chen stared straight at her, thinking to himself, "This guy can absorb the energy from the jade essence just by holding it like that."

This is so convenient!

Moreover, the two pieces of jade essence seemed to be quite valuable, which could be seen from her expression.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the two jade essences lost their color and turned into ordinary jade stones.

The maid opened her eyes: "Senior, it's done!"

"Hmm, not bad. I can clearly sense that your strength has improved. By the way, how much is your monthly allowance here?"

The maid thought to herself that he had taken a liking to her, otherwise why would he ask about her income?

So he quickly replied, "I am just a lowly maid, and my allowance is very small. I only get one piece of jade essence a month!"

Holy crap, one piece! Is this thing really that rare on this continent?

"Hehe, one yuan isn't much!"

"Senior, this is probably not much for you, but some of the people here get one yuan a year!"

"One yuan a year, does he not cultivate on other days?"

"Those who cultivate mostly just circulate their own techniques, like ordinary people, simply to strengthen their muscles and bones!"

For the next hour, Chu Chen spent the entire time in the room talking with the maid.

An hour later, Chu Chen had a general understanding of this world.

Firstly, jade essence is very precious, and most of it is controlled by high-level experts.

The currency in circulation, although silver, was used by low-level martial artists and ordinary people.

At a certain point, most of the items traded were made using jade essence.

For these low-level cultivators, their daily lives depend on silver, and obtaining jade essence is extremely difficult. Even the two pieces she just gave away would take her two months of hard work.

Moreover, she was considered a relatively high-ranking maid.

Chu Chen also understood why the gift Du Yueshen gave was only twenty pieces of jade essence.

Thinking about how much he had eaten in his space, Chu Chen suddenly felt a pang of heartache; damn, he could eat too much.

Another point is the division of military power. A county magistrate is roughly at the ninth rank.

Once you achieve the Grandmaster level, you can be recruited to work in the true Imperial City, the central city.

Of course, there are also powerful individuals who prefer to stay in smaller places, but they are very few and far between. After all, it is in the central city that one can obtain more cultivation resources, namely jade essence.

After Chu Chen learned about it, he didn't think much of it.

After all, all the resources he used for cultivation came from the spring water in the space.

Jade essence is just for feeding the space!
