Chapter 158 - Chapter 153 Is this a case of a foolish person with too much money?_1 (2/2)

“This… Are you sure you’re not joking? A plant like this is not worth the effort of treatment!”

Qin Niu said in surprise.

“Just tell me, can you save it or not?”

“I can try. However, you can’t go back on this. I need to be paid first, then write a pledge, and only then will I try to heal it. If I save it, the hundred taels of Silver Money are mine as a fee. If I can’t save it, I will not take a penny.”

Seeing that the old man didn’t seem to be lying, Qin Niu decided to give it a try.

“Alright, that’s absolutely fine.”

The old man wrote a pledge on the spot and gave him a silver note for one hundred taels.

“This silver note is real, right?”

Qin Niu couldn’t help thinking this money was too easy to earn.

It made him feel very uneasy.

“The bank hasn’t closed yet. If the young man suspects there’s a problem with the silver note, I can accompany you to exchange it right now.”

“I was just asking casually, I trust the Old Master.”

After careful examination, Qin Niu found no issues with the silver note.

Moreover, since the other party had written a pledge, it should be genuine.

This old man probably belonged to the type rich and foolish.

A hundred taels of Silver Money was more than many people could earn in a lifetime, yet the old man was simply handing it over.

Qin Niu put away the silver note.

It seemed he would be staying overnight in the city.

He calculated and had Xiao Qing find an inn to stay for the night.

“Old Master, I will come by a bit later tonight. Keep this silver note for now, and give it to me when I arrive later, is that okay?”

It was not easy to make a trip to the city, and it was good to take care of everything he had to do.

If there was moonlight tonight, he would be able to earn this sum of Silver Money.

He planned to rush back to the countryside early tomorrow morning.

It would be even better if he had a mount.

That calf, Xiao Nui, was still evolving and likely wouldn’t be able to complete the process in the short term.

Raise another horse?

He had no such plans at the moment.

“Keep the silver note. You are free to go wherever you want in the city, but if you want to leave the city, make sure to come back and let me know first.”

The old man was extremely calm when he said this.

It showed he was not afraid of Qin Niu taking the money and running away.

Appearances can be deceiving, as can the depths of the sea.

What kind of background did this old man have?

A person who could casually bring out a hundred taels of Silver Money was definitely not ordinary.

By the sound of it, he likely wielded considerable power within the city.

“That works!”

Qin Niu thought it would be good to find a shop to verify the authenticity of the silver note.

After leaving the dilapidated house, Qin Niu met up with Xiao Qing.

“Xiao Qing, let’s go to the Cultivation Market first. I will come back to this household to treat the plant tonight. You find an inn and settle in. Tomorrow morning, once I have saved that plant, I will take you back to the countryside.”

Qin Niu shared the general plan with her.

“That household is really willing to pay you a hundred taels of Silver Money to save a plant?”

“Yes, it’s true. This is the silver note the old man gave me.”

Qin Niu took out the silver note and showed it to her.

“Is the silver note real?”

“Yes, it should be genuine. This is a silver note from the Heaven and Earth Bank. Not to mention ordinary people, even the Black Tiger Gang Leader wouldn’t dare to counterfeit it.” After examining it, Xiao Qing confirmed that the silver note was authentic.

“Is the Heaven and Earth Bank very powerful?”

When it came to these high-end institutions, Qin Niu was completely ‘illiterate’.

A country person, many have never seen silver notes in their lifetime.

They hardly ever see silver ingots. What they use most is copper coins, Silver Pieces.

“Of course, it’s powerful. The branches of Heaven and Earth Bank are spread all over the world, and no one knows exactly how many there are. It is known that almost every city has a branch of Heaven and Earth Bank, and they have a solid gold credit. With their silver note, you can withdraw money at any of their branches.”

This was indeed incredibly cool.

“I’ve also heard that Heaven and Earth Bank not only deals with mortals, but even cultivators keep their money with them.”

“Alt… so cool, no wonder you said even the Black Tiger Gang Leader wouldn’t dare to fake it!”

Qin Niu gained a deeper understanding of the Heaven and Earth Bank.

This type of existence even had the power to obliterate the Black Tiger Gang.

It could only be described as terrifying.

The master and servant entered the Cultivation Market and went straight to Miaodan Pavilion.

Qin Niu wanted to understand the use of Beast Cores.

He wanted to see if Miaodan Pavilion could help refine them into Elixirs that could be taken.

With the power of the Acquired Realm’s first level, he was eager to gain even stronger cultivation.

Miaodan Pavilion was just as busy as the last time he visited, with a never- ending stream of customers coming to buy Elixirs.

This time, Qin Niu directly put on an Insect Master’s robe.

As soon as he entered, he was warmly greeted by someone immediately.

“Respected Insect Master, what can I do for you?”

“I’d like to know, if I have a Beast Core, can you refine it into an Elixir for me?”

“Of course, we can! Miaodan Pavilion employs over a hundred Pharmacists and Elixir Masters. We are the largest Elixir shop in Black Tiger City, integrating the planting of medicinal herbs, alchemy, Elixir sales, herbal cultivation, and healing. Whatever the customer needs, we provide the highest quality service.”

The attendant proudly introduced the strength of Miaodan Pavilion.

Being able to sustain over a hundred Pharmacists and Elixir Masters, the scale was indeed astonishing.
