Chapter 1161 Turning Stone into Gold?
"In that case, let's take it out!"
"There are four of you. Each of you will receive three Silver Soul Coins, which will make a total of twelve Silver Soul Coins."
The city gate guard sneered and stretched out his hand again.
In fact, he only charged each of those people two silver soul coins.
Ordinary people at the settlement point receive copper soul coins, while merchants receive one silver soul coin.
If he encounters someone he doesn't like, or someone who argues with him, then it's worth three silver soul coins.
These three Silver Soul Coins are enough to order a table full of fine wine and food at a restaurant.
Upon arriving here, all they could get was a spot to enter the city; the difference between the two was enormous.
"I clearly saw you only charge those people two silver soul coins, so how come it's three for us?"
Lingling, who had previously pretended to be a cute little child, was now somewhat unwilling and spoke up directly.
You should know that her candied hawthorns only cost a few copper soul coins, while one silver soul coin could buy countless candied hawthorns.
Up until now, Tang Lan has only given her three silver soul coins.
If you ask her to hand over all her Silver Soul Coins, the little girl will definitely be the first to object.
"Hmph, little sister, this is an adult matter, so don't interrupt."
"You should have your parents talk to me about it."
The guard clearly didn't want to argue with a child, so he snorted and spoke directly.
"Here are thirteen silver soul coins. Keep them safe. Consider the last one a gift from me."
However, Tang Lan did not say anything more, but simply smiled and took out thirteen silver soul coins and placed them in the man's hand.
"If only things had been done this way earlier, there would have been no need for me to waste so much breath."
"You may go in!"
Seeing how sensible Tang Lan was, the guard weighed the silver soul coins in his hand and waved to Tang Lan and the other two, indicating that they could go in.
"Brother, why did you give so much money to that bad guy?"
"Why don't I just burn him to a crisp and then we can get our money back?"
Although Lingling didn't pay for it, the girl looked pained as she recalled all those silver soul coins.
Tang Lan has always been very strict with Lingling and does not give her too much money.
This girl is still young, and having lost all of the Flame Queen's memories, she has completely become what an ordinary little girl should look like.
Therefore, Tang Lan must guide this girl onto the right path and absolutely prevent her from developing any bad habits.
In a sense, this was also a necessary form of discipline that Tang Lan had to give to Lingling, whom he regarded as his younger sister; it was his responsibility.
Seeing Lingling's miserly appearance, Tang Ya and Chen Yue both laughed.
For a fleeting moment, they seemed to recall what they were like as children.
At that time, they were just as innocent and carefree, without any worries.
But with so much of the past gone, their childhood seems to have faded into the distance, and they can no longer find themselves as they were before.
"Those aren't Gintama coins!"
"Just you wait and see!"
However, Tang Lan had a smile on her face at the moment, a smile that even carried a hint of mystery.
Then Tang Lan waved his hand and picked up three pebbles from the ground.
When Tang Lan opened his hand again, the three pebbles had turned into three shiny silver soul coins.
"Wow, how did you do that! It's amazing!"
When Lingling saw this, her cute big eyes widened in surprise.
Tang Ya and Chen Yue, who were standing to the side, could tell that this was an illusion, but they were completely unable to see through it.
If Tang Lan hadn't picked up three pebbles beforehand, they would never have guessed that the three silver soul coins were transformed from pebbles.
"It's just a little illusion!"
"With my current strength, the illusion I create can last for a month."
"In other words, that silver soul coin will remain a silver soul coin for a month, no matter who it ends up in, and will completely revert to its original state after a month."
Tang Lan explained with a smile.
Then Chen Yue said with a serious expression, "I have seen a few Soul Masters who are good at illusions."
"However, no one can do what you say; it's simply unbelievable!"
"How can your illusion magic make everyone around you think it's a silver soul coin instead of a stone? What kind of power and understanding does that require!"
Although Chen Yue knew very little about illusion magic, it was not difficult for her to use her expertise in healing to apply what she had learned to other situations.
This is equivalent to her turning a stone into a healing artifact that can heal other people's injuries.
In comparison, how is this any different from the legendary Midas touch?
She would never have believed such a divine ability if she hadn't seen it with her own eyes.
However, Tang Lan nodded and said, "You're right, this is a kind of understanding and control over the power of this world!"
"If your understanding reaches this level in the future, then even a stone you leave behind can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded!"
Tang Lan seemed to see through Chen Yue's thoughts and directly gave the two women some pointers.
As for how much Tang Ya and Chen Yue can understand, that's up to them.
Tang Lan understood that these insights, which were far beyond their level, could not be fully comprehended no matter how much she explained.
On the contrary, knowing more in advance might disrupt one's current progress.
This is just like a child learning to walk; before learning to walk, you have to learn to run.
This is not only impossible, but it will also make the other party doubt their own perception of them.
The three of them randomly found an inn in Tianque City and stayed there.
Looking at the bustling scene outside the window, Tang Lan couldn't help but marvel at how much faster Tianque City was developing than Tang City.
Of course, the latter was only established a few months ago, so the two are not comparable at all.
But in Tang Lan's view, as long as he wanted to do it, Tang City would completely surpass such a city in the near future, and might not even be weaker than the so-called Douling Imperial City.
"Brother, our food is ready. Let's go downstairs and get something to eat!"
Lingling knocked on the door and, after receiving Tang Lan's permission, skipped in.
At this moment, Lingling changed into a pink dress. Although she was still young, she had grown into a cute and pretty girl.
Almost any woman who sees Lingling will want to go up and give her a good squeeze.
Because Lingling is now the perfect image of every woman's ideal daughter.
Chen Yue and Tang Ya stood smiling at the door, and the fact that Tang Lan had two beautiful women waiting for her made the surrounding residents quite envious. (End of Chapter)
