Argon bought one low-grade returner stone, and his soul coins immediately plummeted to zero again.
People already started entering the dungeon, so he got a hundred soul coins from the people that died inside.
He was not even surprised, it's not even a day passed, but these people already going back to the dungeon. They just changed their camp outside the dungeon.
After some time walking, Argon didn't find any tavern. If he wanted to get some information tavern would be the best place.
Argon was not surprised, this place was built not long ago, so it was understandable that there was no restaurant or tavern.
Unknowingly Argon found himself back at the shameless old man seller. The crowd was not that many compared to his first encounter. But still, there were a considerable amount of people gathering around.
Argon comes closer to the crowd and taps on the random person's shoulder who's salivating looking at the returner stone.
The person jolted in surprise sensing a tap on his shoulder, he turned around and saw a handsome young man with a menacing bodyguard at the back, the person swallowed his saliva like he was swallowing a stone.
He cannot see their cultivation, so he was sure these two were not ordinary cultivators. It's either they are mortal or have cultivation way higher than him. As for them being mortal, he doesn't even think about it.
Just looking at the fierce-looking bodyguard of the young man, he felt chills down his spine.
He immediately put on a smiley face, as a low cultivator, if you want to survive in this dog-eat-dog world, you need to be flexible.
"Sir, can I help you with anything?"
Argon's eyebrow twitched seeing the man in front of him smiling widely that his gum showed.
"Uhm, yeah... Do you want to get a returner stone?"
"Eh?... Ye-yes Sir."
Argon showed the returner stone that made the man's eyes glow.
"Then come with me."
The man hesitated but thinking about the returner stone, he eventually went after Argon.
After some time, Argon stopped, seeing that the place was not that crowded anymore.
"Don't be nervous... You know, I'm not from this region, so I want you to tell me everything you know about the forces around here." Argon said.
"That's it?... Sir, are you sure?!" The man looked at Argon with a confused look.
"En." Argon nodded.
"Ok... Sir the forest we're in is called an endless forest, and this place is a territory of Waydale City which belong to the Oland Kingdom..."
After some time, Argon gives the returner stone to the man, he was satisfied with what the man said to him. He finally has an understanding of where he is.
"Oland Kingdom... Hmmm."
He doesn't know how strong this kingdom is, but what he knows was sooner or later he will devour this place, without even bones left.
The system told him, that the place where he's in was only at the corner of the whole world. That's why he wants to become stronger faster and to achieve that, he needs to kill a lot of people to get soul coins.
"Cambion, we are done here. So, let's go back to the dungeon."
"As you wish, My Lord."
Argon finds a place where there was no one around and opens a portal to the dungeon.
He was directly teleported to the throne room, he first take off the mask and sit on his throne.
"Status."
A transparent screen appeared in front of him, he looked at his soul coins, and saw the number go up from time to time.
"System is there no one who got the cultivation book?"
[No.]
"Really, how unlucky were these people?"
Although it's only been two days since the dungeon was opened, it shouldn't be that hard to drop, right? After all, this was only the lowest cultivation book in the system.
Argon closed the system and turned his gaze on Cambion.
"Cambion, I will give you a task."
"What is it, My Lord?"
"I want you to go to the capital city of Oland Kingdom, and get some information about the neighboring kingdom." Argon said.
He already has a map of the whole Oland Kingdom, the man gives it to him.
"Here's the map." Argon makes the map fly toward Cambion, using his True Qi.
"As you wish, My Lord." Cambion said respectfully.
"En." He then opens a portal to the outside world.
