After laying his two companions to rest, Zuigao gazed out from the mouth of the cave. He watched as billowing clouds, each layer overlapping the next, swiftly dissipated, leaving behind a light drizzle that was visible to the naked eye. With his companions gone, Zuigao found himself pondering his next steps. He sketched out three main objectives for himself. First, he planned to focus on his own personal growth and gather the necessary resources. Secondly, he aimed to integrate into society, either by establishing his own inn or by establishing relationships with trustworthy traders. This, he knew, would require a substantial amount of resources. With his dantian set to advance to the second stage, he anticipated an entirely new approach to combat, signaling the need for a vast array of resources.
The third one was mostly a decision rather than an objective of sorts.
Was he going to join an organization or not?
When he finally takes the treasure that would give him vast knowledge.
He would be incredibly busy with almost no free time for himself.
Mastery of martial arts, artifacts, trump cards, and many other factors lay before him.
And the most necessary of all to kick start would be having a large number of Qi stones or silver to his name.
Creating an identity badge would also be a problem for him as well.
This world currency has two major parts.
The first was the Qi stone.
With the other being gold, silver, bronze, etc.

Next was the gold coins and then diamond which had corresponding ranking as the previous ones with having their own respective bars, worth 100 of their own coins and a higher currency being equal in value to a whole bar.
There were also Qi stone having 3 teirs to them as well.
1:Dim Qi stone(equal to one iron)
2: Shining Qi stone (equal to one silver)
3:Seven colours Qi stone (equal to 1 diamond)
Qi stones had the magical ability of restoring ones Qi in their dantian.
Qi stones had two main sources of production.
One was a Qi stone resource point that produced Qi stones of different qualities at set intervals of time.
The other one was theough trading.
Qi stones were produced through a Qi pond.
These sorts of ponds or bodies of water looked like a piece of starry grass with blue and purple roses growing over them.
At set intervals of time, these rose buds would open quickly and drop a Qi stone while withering away and dissolving in a few seconds.
These also had their teirs as well.
The first rank was called "Qi Stone Pond".
