Meeting Venerable Yuan Again
If someone from ancient times traveled to the modern era, how long would it take them to fully integrate into the pace of modern life?
The answer given by users on Zhihu is about six months to a year.
If the target is a young person in their twenties, the time required will be significantly less compared to other age groups.
If an ancient person were to travel to the modern era, how long would it take for them to adapt to some aspects of modern life?
Venerable Yuan provided the answer.
He only took less than a month.
When Yi Xuan saw him again, he was somewhat dazed by Venerable Yuan's modern clothes and the smart bracelet in his hand.
Venerable Yuan head was decorated with multicolored flowers, was currently dancing passionately on the dance floor, with women on either side of him.
If it weren't for No. 01's repeated confirmation, Yi Xuan wouldn't have believed that the person in front of him was Venerable Yuan, who could make the Cultivation Realm tremble with a stomp of his foot.
What happened?
Looking at Venerable Yuan, who was still dancing freely on the dance floor, Yi Xuan turned around and asked the person behind him.
Two more people were following behind Yi Xuan at this time.
One person was wearing a police uniform, and the other was dressed in a sharp suit.
Both of them looked troubled upon hearing Yi Xuan's question.
Finally, after exchanging glances, the person in the police uniform spoke up.
"This..."
As soon as he opened his mouth, it got stuck there.
He suddenly realized that he didn't know how to address the young man in front of him.
You see, that guy on the dance floor has caused them a lot of trouble.
As local police officers, they tried everything they could, but were still unable to solve the problem.
Left with no other option, they had to report the situation to their superiors.
The young man in front of them was sent from above and had just arrived.
My surname is Yi!
"Yes, Mister Yi, I am the local police chief, and this gentleman next to me is the owner of this club!"
Upon hearing the word "club, "Yi Xuan immediately understood.
It's definitely the kind of place where you can get a one-stop service.
He just couldn't understand how a dignified Venerable Yuan could become so addicted to such a place.
As the police chief behind him recounted the events, Yi Xuan finally understood the cause and effect of the matter.
It turns out that the sharp-mouthed, monkey-faced man Venerable Yuan encountered when he first entered the Southern Frontier was a habitual criminal.
He makes a living by swindling people from other places, especially those from outside Southern Frontier, who are his main targets.
His method of ripping people off was simple: he acted as a secondhand dealer and overcharged his customers.
Because of the information asymmetry between the inside and outside of Southern Frontier, many outsiders who have just entered Southern Frontier do not have a deep understanding of the situation Southern Frontier.
This gave them an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Taking advantage of outsiders' lack of understanding of Southern Frontier, these people usually take the initiative to act as tour guides.
Then provide them with a complete one-stop service for their food, clothing, housing, and transportation.
In this process, they made a hefty profit from these outsiders by reselling their goods.
For example, in terms of accommodation, if a room costs 300 per day, they will make out-of-towners who follow them pay twice the equivalent price, thus making a profit in this way.
Because these outsiders lack sufficient information about Southern Frontier, they are highly likely to fall victim to the virus.
Many people were swindled out of large sums of money by them within a few days.
When Venerable Yuan entered the Southern Frontier, his incongruous attire naturally attracted the attention of these people.
That weasel-faced fellow initially tried to fool Venerable Yuan, mistaking him for an ordinary outsider.
But when Venerable Yuan took out a Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, he was completely dumbfounded.
Although the currency has been unified in the Southern Frontier, Spirit Stone are still used as a form of hard currency in circulation.
Ordinary Low-Grade Spirit Stone are accessible to ordinary people.
However, Spirit Stone of medium grade and above are actually still controlled by high-level individuals and cultivators.
As for High-Grade Spirit Stone and Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, the only way for ordinary people to see them is probably through the internet.
Therefore, when Venerable Yuan offered Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone as a reward, the monkey-faced man was instantly dumbfounded.
However, he quickly regained his normal expression.
At the same time, he thought to himself that the bold get rich while the timid starve, even though he didn't know who the old man in front of him was.
But it's obvious that if he pulls off this job well, he'll be set for life, living a life of luxury for three lifetimes.
So, influenced by Venerable Yuan's 'huge' funds, the man with the pointed mouth and monkey cheeks took him to the most famous shopping club in the area.
Venerable Yuan, who was solely focused on enjoying life, naturally didn't care about money at all.
He tossed the Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to the monkey-faced, sharp-nosed man, and he didn't need to worry about anything else. How wonderful!
Life is meant to be enjoyed!
Influenced by this idea, Venerable Yuan stayed at this club for a whole month.
Indulging in extravagance and debauchery.
Venerable Yuan felt that he had wasted his thousands of years of life, and he was completely addicted to everything in the club.
Therefore, the person who brought him, with his pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, was naturally rewarded handsomely.
Venerable Yuan bestowed over a hundred or so Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone upon that person.
Unexpected windfall! Absolutely unexpected windfall!
That's hundreds of Supreme-Grade Spirit Stones! You probably can't find another person in the entire city with such a huge sum of money.
With his pointed mouth and monkey-like cheeks, he felt as if his life had instantly reached paradise.
Unfortunately, he made a fatal mistake.
He actually took over a hundred Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone to the bank to deposit money.
This is a large deposit of top- Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone.
Before the bank staff could complete the storage of these Spirit Stones, the police arrived.
That monkey-faced guy was just a thug after all; his legs went weak at the sight of the police.
He confessed everything without being interrogated.
So the police escorted the Spirit Stone to the clubhouse and returned them to Venerable Yuan, and told Venerable Yuan to go to the police station to make a statement.
As an outsider, he should also register at the police station.
This displeased Venerable Yuan.
Me, Venerable Yuan, a top-tier cultivator, going to the government office to file a report with a few of you? That would be incredibly embarrassing.
Therefore, Venerable Yuan directly stated that he had given those Spirit Stones to that person willingly, and that he had not been deceived.
This comes at a time when various regions are currently promoting anti-fraud efforts.
When the police officers saw Yuan Zu's condition, they realized he was just like those elderly people who had been scammed.
So one by one they were eager to get started and took turns coming up to promote anti-fraud awareness to Venerable Yuan.
But Venerable Yuan, who was enjoying worldly pleasures, would never listen to their lectures, which sounded like a formal instruction. He slapped the policemen away with a few slaps.
When the police officers landed unharmed, they discovered that they had actually returned to the police station.
But when they tried to leave, they discovered that a formation had flown in from the sky, trapping the entire police station inside.
With the police station trapped, the nearby cultivators were at a loss, and the whole city was thrown into chaos.
Fortunately, the police chief was not at the police station at the time, so the message could be relayed to his superiors immediately.
