Chapter 135: White Jade Capital and White Jade Token
“White jade token… Is this thing related to the White Jade Capital?”
Zhou Chen had never heard of a white jade token, but he intuitively linked it to the White Jade City.
“Precisely,” Young Master Lin nodded.
“Looks like Young Master Li doesn’t know much about the white jade token. Then, let me explain it to you.”
Young Master Lin could tell that Zhou Chen was not as knowledgeable as he had expected. The teacher within him was immediately awakened and he began to explain.
“Please elaborate.”
Zhou Chen was naturally happy. He had previously inquired about the White Jade Capital in Caelian City, but because he had no channels and did not obtain any concrete information, he thought that the White Jade Capital was only a local legend.
“Young Master Li, you have to know that the White Jade Capital exists.”
Young Master Lin emphasized this to Zhou Chen.
Then, he pointed at the sky. “But the White Jade Capital is not on this world’s turbid soil, it is in the sky.”
“Oh?”
Zhou Chen’s interest was piqued. The words White Jade Capital reminded him of the poems of the ancient poet, Li Bai, in his previous life. He did not expect that the more he listened, the more it seemed like it.
Young Master Lin continued, “The White Jade Capital is located in the sky, but it is not always there. It will only appear for a few days every few decades.”
“That white jade token… is the key to entering the White Jade Capital?” Zhou Chen immediately connected the two.
Seeing that Zhou Chen had guessed the answer, Young Master Lin looked at him and smiled, “Yes, Young Master Li is indeed quick-witted.”
‘Quick witted, my ass… Anyone would think so…’ Zhou Chen ridiculed inwardly and asked, “Where can I obtain the white jade token? How can I enter the White Jade Capital with the white jade token? What will happen after entering?”
“Hehe, Brother Li, these are good questions.”
“According to what I know, the white jade tokens will appear in this world a month before the arrival of the White Jade Capital. The only way to obtain it is to search everywhere.
As for how to enter with the white jade token, although I have no experience, I heard that it’s quite simple. You just need to hold the white jade token and wait for the arrival of the White Jade Capital.
As for what will happen after entering, I don’t know much. I only know that there are many tests set by immortals. Those who pass the tests will obtain various treasures. Those who fail might face danger…”
Young Master Lin explained the relevant information about the White Jade Capital to Zhou Chen in detail.
“Thank you for your guidance.”
Zhou Chen felt that he had gained a lot from listening to his explanation, so he cupped his hands in thanks.
“No need to thank me.” Young Master Lin smiled faintly. “You can inquire about these things from any martial artist with a higher status in Sword Furnace City. Moreover, there are many white jade tokens in the world. So there is no issue even if you enter.”
“I see.”
Zhou Chen nodded. He had been wondering why this person was so kind-hearted and was not afraid that telling him would prevent him from entering the White Jade Capital.
“Brother Li, according to the calculations of the experts, there are only about ten days or so until the arrival of the White Jade Capital. There are very few white jade tokens left in the wild. If you want to obtain one, you have to hurry up! If you have enough money, I suggest you spend money to buy one. This is the most reliable way. I’m planning to do this since competing for it did not work.”
Young Master Lin then told Zhou Chen how to obtain the white jade token, and the method was actually to buy it.
“Really?” Zhou Chen was puzzled. “That white jade token should be quite precious like you said. There are people selling them?”
He did not believe that anyone would give up the chance to enter the White Jade Capital.
“Of course.”
The smile on Young Master Lin’s face increased when he heard Zhou Chen’s question, as if he had expected him to ask this.
“Brother Li, although the white jade token is an immortal’s item and is indeed precious, there are many of them every time they appear. Moreover, they will disappear after the expiration date. As for entering the White Jade Capital, the person holding the token has to be under the age of twenty. There are still many risks if you enter. Many people who obtain the white jade token cannot satisfy the age requirement or are unwilling to take the risk, so they sell it to earn money.”
“I see…”
Zhou Chen had to say the two words again. He did not expect that there was an age limit to using the white jade token, but fortunately, he was 18 years old and satisfied this condition.
“How much is the white jade token selling for?”
“In Sword Furnace City, the lowest price for the white jade tokens is 1,000 silver taels. If not for it being so expensive, I would not have come out to compete for it.” Young Master Lin sighed as if he was lamenting that his wallet was about to bleed.
“1,000 taels of silver, it’s indeed very expensive.”
Zhou Chen frowned, but he did not think it was a big issue. Ten days was enough for him to earn enough money. Or he could just rob someone.
“Brother Lin, the price of that white jade token is so high. Will there be people selling fakes?”
Zhou Chen felt that someone would definitely try to make counterfeits of this thing and sell them for money, so he needed to know how to differentiate the real thing.
“Some people do,” Young Master Lin turned to look at Zhou Chen and nodded. “But the fake white jade tokens can only deceive children and fools. White jade token is an immortal’s item. Brother Li, as long as you see the real one once, you won’t make a mistake.”
“Oh…” Zhou Chen immediately nodded.
The two of them chatted as they rode towards Sword Furnace City. Zhou Chen asked Young Master Lin many questions on the way.
For example, where could he find the real white jade token and obtain high-grade cultivation techniques?
This Young Master Lin answered all of Zhou Chen’s questions. Although Zhou Chen was not sure if everything he said was correct, at least he was very passionate in answering.
He even suggested for Zhou Chen to observe him buying a real white jade token so that he could understand the characteristics of the immortal’s item.
Zhou Chen directly agreed. With such an opportunity, he had to be thick-skinned.
‘I came here to try to get my hands on the cultivation technique of the Furnace Mountain Sword Sect, but I didn’t expect that the White Jade Capital would unveil its mask before me. I still need to ask around to confirm the information about White Jade Capital.’
Zhou Chen was very interested in the White Jade Capital because from all the information he had gathered, this place was an immortal’s treasure land. Its nature was similar to the Holy Mountain of the previous dungeon world. If he could obtain an awesome cultivation technique there, that would definitely be the best outcome.
“There are still ten days until the arrival of the White Jade Capital. I have enough time. I believe the system has made us descend during this period so that we can enter it.”
Zhou Chen was not surprised that he had coincidentally entered the world during the period of the arrival of the White Jade Capital. This had to be a deliberate arrangement of the system. Regardless of the system’s goal, he would choose to enter it..
