As the third day arrived, Qin Feng, having completed all his preparations, felt the energy fluctuations of the teleportation array weakening, signaling its imminent closure.
He quickly beckoned Ye Shen and nodded in acknowledgment.
It was time to act. Qin Feng lifted the unconscious 204. The three of them walked to the center of the cave. A blinding white light flashed, and the surrounding space began to blur. A sense of weightlessness made them extremely uncomfortable.
When they could perceive the world around them again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar place.
Lush greenery surrounded them, the air was exceptionally fresh, and the distant calls of birds could be heard. Everything felt as if they had returned to their original world, a truly refreshing experience.
Ye Shen took a deep breath and exclaimed with great joy, "This is so comfortable! The air here is so fresh! It's completely different from that planet. It's fantastic! This world is amazing."
Qin Feng, also intoxicated by the fresh air, didn't indulge in it as much as Ye Shen. He quietly observed their surroundings.
Within a thousand meters, there were five experts. These five individuals were heading their way and would soon appear before them. Each of these five possessed a combat power of around 500. While they were not a match for him individually, if they joined forces, they could pose a certain degree of trouble.
Qin Feng didn't know who these five people were. However, based on the information he had gathered, this place was likely a cultivation sect, and these five were its disciples.
Qin Feng did not act rashly and waited for the five individuals to arrive.
A moment later, the five people reached Qin Feng's location. The leader, with sharp eyes and a handsome, tall stature,
glanced at the three of them, his brow furrowed. "Are you from the Savage Continent? Do you have tokens?"
Qin Feng nodded and then produced their three tokens. The leader took them, carefully sensing the energy fluctuations, and confirmed they were indeed sect tokens.
He then returned the tokens and asked, "Do you know the rules of conduct here?"
Qin Feng shook his head. The leader stated, "As per the Sect Master's command, I am obligated to inform you of the rules for navigating this world. This place is different from your Savage Continent. This is a civilized world where wanton killing of living beings is forbidden, fighting with others is not allowed, theft and robbery are prohibited. You must abide by local customs wherever you go. If you violate these rules, local authorities will apprehend you, conduct an interrogation, and pass judgment. In the most severe cases, you may be executed. Do you understand?"
Qin Feng scratched his head. Weren't these the most basic principles?
It seemed these people truly considered them uncivilized barbarians!
Qin Feng nodded. "I understand."
Seeing Qin Feng's affirmation, the leader nodded and said no more.
However, one of the individuals beside him put on a smiling face and said enthusiastically, "Is this your first time here? Do you find it very novel? I can take you around the sect and explain this world to you in detail. Of course, this service requires a small fee. You can purchase something called Dragon Saliva Incense from the shop. If you give me 500 grams, I'll show you around the sect and answer some of your questions. What do you say?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng realized this person was trying to take advantage of them, intending to make a hefty profit from their first visit to this world.
This person was clearly aware of the shop in their minds.
Qin Feng quickly scanned the shop. He discovered that Dragon Saliva Incense cost 100 gold per gram, making 500 grams cost 50,000 gold.
This amount was not an issue for him; he could replicate it in minutes. However, Qin Feng also understood that not everyone could afford this sum. 50,000 gold was an astronomical figure for someone from a beginner village. This person's exorbitant demand indicated he considered them naive and was trying to swindle them!
If he revealed his wealth, it might bring him trouble.
With this thought, Qin Feng shook his head. "That item is too expensive. I can't afford it. We'll explore this world on our own."
Hearing this, the person quickly changed his tune. "It's alright. If you can't afford 500 grams, 100 grams will do. I'll personally explain the rules of this world to you, and it will be very beneficial. At the very least, you won't encounter any danger while traveling here."
Qin Feng still shook his head. "I can't afford 100 grams either. I don't have that much money, and I need to pay for my brother's medical treatment, so I don't have extra money to give you."
Hearing this, the others glanced at the unconscious 204.
One person stepped forward to examine him and then asked with confusion, "Was he attacked by a monster on the Savage Continent? What a strange condition! There are no injuries on his body, and his breathing is even. He shouldn't be unconscious. Oh... I understand. He must be poisoned! Our sect possesses spiritual medicine for detoxification that can eliminate all toxins from the body. You've come to the right place. How much money do you have on you? Let me see if you can afford a detoxification pill."
Upon hearing this, Qin Feng chuckled. "If it's just an ordinary detoxification pill, we can buy it from the shop. Why should we buy it from you?"
Hearing this, the person's face showed a hint of embarrassment. He had forgotten about this. People from the Savage Continent each had a shop in their minds where they could purchase many items, including detoxification medicine. He had forgotten this fact.
With this in mind, he quickly tried to salvage the situation. "The detoxification pills from our sect are different from the ones you buy in the shop. These are personally refined by our sect elders and are exceptionally effective, ten times more potent than the ones you buy in the shop. If you give me all the money you have, I can save your brother."
Qin Feng, hearing this person's baseless claims, didn't want to deal with him any further. He knew 204's condition best. 204 had no injuries and was not poisoned. The reason he hadn't woken up was related to the demonic cultivation technique he practiced. If 204 were to be left in this sect, and his demonic cultivation was discovered, it could lead to trouble. As the saying goes, righteousness and evil are irreconcilable. He didn't want to create a major problem for himself right after arriving in this world, nor did he want 204 to be in danger.
Therefore, he directly stated, "I only have 100 gold. I wonder if that's enough to buy a detoxification pill? Also, could you show me around and answer some of my questions? I'm willing to give you all 100 gold, and I'll buy whatever you want from the shop for you."
Hearing this, all five people present changed their expressions.
Only 100 gold? They were practically paupers. They immediately lost interest.
The person who had been fawning over them moments ago suddenly turned ashen-faced. He lost all interest in Qin Feng and the other two.
The leader pointed in a direction with his finger and impatiently said, "The exit of our sect is that way. Hurry along and don't waste our time here."
After speaking, the group left, grumbling as they went.
"What bad luck. The people who came this time are just beggars. The teleportation array has already closed. It seems we'll be returning empty-handed this time."
