26 New World
"Over there we have the market for equipment," She pointed at a location with many shops.
"Those shops are owned by players, the only NPC's are farther ahead. These types of equipment usually range from common to uncommon rank. There's an auction which sells better items. The Common items go for 100 copper coins or less. Uncommon items go for up to 3 silver. It doesn't get bigger than that for uncommon items." She said.
"You can sometimes find rare equipment in the Auction but that only happened twice. There's a monthly auction which showcases rare items. The first monthly auction is in 3 weeks. We haven't had the monthly auction yet. And don't even get me started on the yearly auction which won't happen for a long time." She said.
They walked away from the equipment section.
"This seems like a normal marketplace, what's so unique about the Nirvana Market," Emile said.
"Wait, we're almost there," she said.
"Almost where," Emile questioned.
She ignored his comment and continued to walk. Emile followed her until they reached a giant courtyard.
The courtyard had no one inside. Emile felt confused about why she brought him here.
The court had five different sections with a picture of an element hanging on the top. The picture was glowing brightly. It glowed then dimmed. It was a mesmerizing pattern.
"This courtyard is the Elemental Courtyard, this is where people go to gain skill points. They enter the specific courtyard and there are challenges and other things they can do to gain skill points. Inside the thing, you can get simulation missions. You get placed in a world with a mission. You get skill points based on how well you do on the mission," she said.
"I think you should test it out, it doesn't take that long," She said as she pointed at the fire elemental corridor.
"They accelerate time in there so if it gives a time limit of like 1 year, it usually means 1 full day of time. That's the ratio of time in the simulation. You'll find out more information when you enter the world," she continued.
"Alright, thanks," He ran into the fire elemental corridor after giving a farewell.
Lily gave a farewell before entering the Earth element corridor.
In front of him was a large screen showing lots of data. He didn't know what the data meant, so he ignored it.
There was a room called the simulation room. He would enter the room and it would teleport him into a fake world.
[Would you like to enter the simulation?]
"Yes," as soon as he replied, he was teleported out.

Emile panicked since he spawned in an inn. He checked around and saw that the currency was the same. His inventory didn't exist in this world.
Memories of the world appeared in his mind.
Afte digesting the memories he found out that the world is a wuxia world. It had its own cultivation method.
Muscle Refining Stage
Skeletal Refining Stage
Nerve Refining Stage
Earth Stage
Sky Stage
Emperor Stage
Emperor stage was the very last stage. Emile didn't want to get too caught up in this world's path. His body was in the 5th stage of Skeletal Refining. His bones were slowly going stronger.
He was considered decently strong in a rural area. There were many people who were stronger than him in the cities.
He wanted to leave the world as soon as possible so he asked the innkeeper about the fire element. He also wanted to gain as much Fire skill points as he could.
"The Fire Element? I've never heard of that. Sorry man you can look through the library to figure out any information about it." The innkeeper said as he cleaned the dishes.
"Where is the library," Emile threw a copper coin for the information. The innkeeper accepted and wrote down directions to the library.
This was the city of Riverdale. It was a backwater location without many technological advancements.
The world was taking place in the past. It didn't have many convenient things. Emile followed the directions and arrived at a shabby looking place.
'Is this really a library,' Emile thought.
The stair leading to the door had moss growing on it. It shook when he stepped on the stairs. Emile knocked on the door which caused some dust to fall down.
An old man opened the door.
"Who are you, why are you here," The old man asked suspiciously.
"I'm Emile, can I enter and read some of your books," He introduced himself and asked a question.
"Why," The old man asked.
"I want to find out something and need to look for information about its location," Emile didn't state the object since he didn't trust the old man.
"What's in it for me," he laughed and asked.
"I have some coins in my bag," Emile said.
"It's rare for a youngster like you to seek knowledge. I'll let you in," The old man said.
Emile entered through the doorway. In front of his eyes lied columns and columns of books. He knew searching through all the books would take a long time.
"Do you have a filtering system to filter out books," Emile asked the old man.
"What's a filtering system," The old man asked.
"Nevermind, do you have any books about the fire element," He asked after remembering that this world wasn't technologically up to date.
"The Fire element is a rare element that appears every 100 years. When it appears a bloodbath occurs. People fight over the fire element. I don't suggest you go for it unless you are in the peak stage of Nerve refining," He cautioned Emile about the fire element.
"I need to get it. It's important to my growth." Emile said with conviction.
"It's important for many people's growths. If a nerve refining can absorb the fire element into their body, then they can break into the earth stage." He said with a tone of convincing.
"I still need to try," Emile said.
He wasn't being reckless by saying this. He asked the system about what happens when he dies.
[When the user dies, the penalties will be given and it will kick the user out of this world]
He wouldn't die which gave him the courage to try.
"Alright, enter the Scarlet Mountain and stay near Scarlet City. The fire element will appear in half-a-month so I suggest you grow as strong as you can during this time period." The old man said after a sigh.
"Don't send yourself to death," He said.
The old man gave him directions to Scarlet City. Emile thanked the man and left Riverdale City.
"Youngsters, these days, always acting recklessly without a care about their lives," The old man said as he closed the door of his library.
To grow stronger, he could do the obvious thing and cultivate. He could also head to the market and look for any treasures.
The only thing he had on him was his equipment from the game. The equipment all added up to him being in Skeletal Refining Stage 5.
If he had better types of equipment, he would be a higher stage cultivator. The game automatically transferred his stats into a stage.
Cultivators in the Nerve Refining stage would have their stats in the 100's.
Cultivators at the Earth stage had their stats near the thousands. They were strong.
Emile walked towards Scarlet City as he thought about this development.
