Chapter 2 - First sell

  *Next day - sunrise*

  "So it wasnt dream, huh. So this is one of those cultivation worlds... Ok...Yeah no... Probably not good idea to smoke, but i think i have everyright to so... yeah" Joe said to himself, took out one of emergency joint and his trustry ligter, and took one big puffy, with nice inhale... Hold and slowly exhale throu nose.

  "... yeah, that hit spot. Lets finish it and lets look at the Weedanator" *chuckle*

  * few minutes of try and error*

  "Oh so it has menu, and there is even currency and even info how everything work, nice"

  "huh... That's neat, yeah so everytzhing except for status is unusable without getting my hand on some money. Oh man, so i have to sell some of my stash, wai how come i'm alive, sleeping without fire near forest on Logar Continent, should have been death sentence, no ?" Even thou Joe didn't know it yet, when he was transmigrated to this word with the lightning someone was undergoin tribulation, and all lifeforms in 10s of kilometers weaker then the cultivator run away, not to mention Joe was from all of the smoking reaking of so much weed that it would scare even some spiritual animals thinking he is poisonous, as the only beings smelling medicinally are nearly always some poison cultivating/using beasts or cultivators.

  ...

  "Yeah, let's drop it, don't have capacity for it at the moment... Huh, isn't that some caravan ?"

  At the same time while Joe was in his own world, there was traveling small trade caravan heading for White Leaf city.

  "Thank the heavens, we were lucky enough to be far away from that tribulation. It was massive, atleast rank 5." Said lead merchant

  "We should rather forget we saw anything, we didn't see any guards protecting the cultivator, and you all know what that mostly means..." warned guard captain

  "Itinerant cultivator, or even demonic one ... this is too stresfull job, for my old bones" murmured lead merchant

  "Boss, someone is coming to us, looks like foreigner" warned one guard

  "Hello, want weed?" said Joe and thought 'Let's keep talks as simple as possible, i know jack shit about the language, atleast i know how to say weed and things around weed and gardening'

  'hmm, smells after medicine and his clothes look expensive, might be herbalist or doctor. And as a foreigner he has to sell under market value his services' thought merchant shrewdly and said "Greetings, esteemed sir. That would depend on the quality of the product"

  'Let's show them one of the heads, oh you guys have never seen such quality, muhaha' Thought Joe jokingly and discreetly took out one head out of the hidden bag in his jacket, to of course not show his entire stash (They are his babies and even parting with one of them is hearbreaking and more so when its because of stranger and not some friend) "Sorry, just arrived, its everything. Looking place build herbal garden"

  'Just one head? But it smells heavenly definetly high grade mortal, maybe on cusp of perfect, 2 gold teals give or take. And did he just said, that he is looking for place to build new herbal garden, so a herbalist and talented one at that, but cultivation is lacking, still rank 0. Still talent is talent, and this could lead to nice bussiness opportunity' thought thougholy the merchant and offered price "5 silver teals and location to build garden"

  The author's narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.

  'If only i knew the value silver teal and by the location did he mean he will give me place or just where should i go, well let's up the price a bit, to not seam like absolute amateur' thought Joa and counteroffered "10 silver teals and location"

  "6 teals"

  "9 teals "

  "7 teals and thats last offer, i need to pay for guards and also as foreigner noone will give you better price"

  "Deal!"

  Joe gave the weed head to the merchant and waited...

  '7 teals, *chuckle* thats still cheap, but atleast he has some backbone, oh i will get so stoned on this shit muhahaha... why is he still standing there ? Oh yeah, the location, not far from here should be farming village' thought merchant as he tried to keep poker face "Follow the road from where we come from and on first split which is like a day of walk, go to left and you should get to small hermit village called Xu village. You should be able to get some land there for teal or two when you showcase that you are herbalist, heck they might even give it to you for free."

  "Thanks" said Joe and even remembred to cup his fists just like he saw in those movies and whatnot.

  "Save travels, oh and i almost forgot my name is Li Jiang and im part of Azure Merchant Guild"

  "Joe Robert, also Dude. Save travels" yelled and waved Joe.

  After Joe was out of earshot.

  "What a weirdo, foreigners" mumbled guard captain

  "That might be so, but have you seen the quality of just one head, and if he is able to replicate it with entire garden, and plus he is foreigner so he has to undersell. Not to mention he won't be far from our trade route. Just imagine the profits, you will all ofcourse get a cut if you keep your mouth shut! That goes for you guys aswell, and if that not enough you should know what it means to go against me!" said lead merchant to his caravan, on which everyone nodded either with sweat or gold in their eyes.

  Once Joe got far away from the caravan and was on his way to Xu village, he decided to convert 4 of thouse silver teals into currency.

  "Okay, so 1 silver teal is 100 credits, let's see what i can buy" said to himself Joe and opened the Shop menu

  "Wow, that's pretty big list, and the discount is pretty OP, but also only one time, so should be carefull with that. But man, maybe its because im stoned but it looks beutiful here, can't wait to see how the Xu village will look like." And Joe once again continued on his way to the Xu Village while trying to stay in the right flow
