Chapter 601: The Price of Knowing
Leon spent his first two days in Moonfall walking, asking questions, and buying almost nothing.
He started in the outer markets, where ordinary citizens shopped. A bowl of noodles cost eight copper. A clean room above a teahouse cost twenty copper a night, while a better inn inside the third ward asked nearly twice that. Clothes, cart fare, common medicine, and meals all remained affordable if a person knew the proper price.
Cultivator goods used a different scale.
The exchange houses bought low-grade spirit stones and sold them back at a clear profit. Leon visited three before he understood what the pouch Shen Baoyuan had given him was worth. Combined with the ordinary silver, it could support him modestly for about a year if he avoided expensive pills and artifacts.
