*Few hours and 1,5 joints later*
"The road is endless, did he say first split left or right... yeah left.. or was it right... nah it was definetly left. Yeah i need a break." mumbled to himself Joe as laid against a tree, and to ensure he doesnt forget which way and that its not right on first split he wrote it down to the ground with arrows, and he definetly didnt do something stupid like for example putting X on right nuuh, thats what novices do, he circled arrow to left.
"So, let's take a better look at the shop, now that i have some time, probably those techniques and weed, yeah if i was sent here to become god of Weed, there should be something"
*few minutes later after playing with the shops search*
"Oh, it even has filter, that's dope"

"Wow, lot of techniques, well when there is an affinity for it, it's not that weird, truthfully its weird there is so few of them, and what's with no Heaven grade and yet lots of them have it name? And the tithe ?! Wait, tithe to whom ? To the creator or the system ? If it's creator could it be like, some incentive to create and share techniques? Wait... that makes sense, it's like the world wants there to be more techniques, to make itself stronger because it's strenght are its occupants(ergo cultivators). I might be too hight, but let's check it out."
Info: Tithe Ammount of gained karma thanks to the technique, given to the creator of technique be it cultivation or otherwise.
"Nice, spot on, or did it just showed up bacuse i came to that conclusion ? Nah... no mattter, but paying tithe, and what's constatly this about karma, probably some energy form or something, but still it might be pretty important. So... yeah i don't want to pay anyone any shit... wait... "

"Oh, wait what, the math for high doesn't make sense... oh yeha, i get it now that's probably the karmic weight, thats bummer. And even bigger bummer is the fact i lack only few silvers for mid. Okay i can wait, probably should get back to road" Said Joe to himself depreciatly, as he got of the ground and started once again on his journey, his brain cleared up a bit and he had a revelation 'Oh, its probably good i didn't buy anyway, last time i got knowledge shaft into my brain i collapsed and fell unconsious, likel ynot a good idea on the road in wilderness'
----------------------------------------
*half a day later on road split*
Joe was over a half hour trying to remember, if he should have gone left or right. Thanfully last pot he had was over hour ago, so he was starting to think clearly once again.
This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
"So was it left or right... right right, yeah nah... very likely the oppossite, and now that i think about i did draw arrow to left, so left it." And of course our hero chose the right direction, i mean left, you know what i mean. And yeah some of you i might think, what a stupid plot armour, well that's called drug luck or also baby luck, never had it?!... Fine at the of the day i will tell you the secret *cough* nitpicks *cough*
----------------------------------------
*entrance to Xu village, noon*
Joe just came to the xu village meadow, and even he had to say that this village just looked idicial, in theer direction (west, north and east) were some mountain in distance, but even thou those mountain were there didnt mean the village was aswell, to east and south that had small farmland still with some farmers at work, to west was forest and to north were small hills with pastures and sparse trees, but what was weird and fascinating was the fact that even thou there were farmlands to south and east, they were per say plains, as when one would look from eagle view the entire village was in truth still in forest from all side. Which just made it weird they didnt have any pallisades as forest from what he knows are full of beasts, but then again what did he know, there could be some mubmo jumbo at work here. But that's no matter for him, it could be even boost such hidden village could be perfect for large scale weed farms, but first he needs pothouse (Who needs house when you have pothouse!)
And the first things he needed to do was find someone who is in charge here, so he aproached one of the farmers.
"Hello, village chief where ?" Of couse Joe knows jack shit about locale language and has just chipped up knowledge, so his questions need to be as simple as possible.
"Dungole! You scared me there, sneaking up on people have you no shame ?" scared unknown villager yelled at Joe
'I underestood just half of it, but he looks annonyed and jumped up when i spoke to him, probably scared him ?' Joe tried to look appologetic "Sorry, village chief where?"
'Foreigner ? Why he wants to talk with village chief ? Hmm, he smells like herbs and his clothes look, expensive, yeah dont want to know!' farmer thought with raised eyebrows and pointed at the second best looking building in village "In that house, he should be there."
'Ofcourse it's one of the better looking houses' thought to himself Joe and with cupped fist said "Thanks" 'Hope im doing it right'
----------------------------------------
*Vllage chief house*
Xu Ming, sat in his house on his scented mat and cultivated, as he was one of the village protectors and leader, he had to ensure his strenght, unfortunatly as his family wasn't some wealthy one, and their cultivation technique was bought from one of the shops in city, and was of mid quality it only allowed to reach Rank 3 and even that was nearly impossible. Even as 5th generation practicioner with many insights from his family and some better talent was only able to reach Rank 2 level 3. Fortunatly he wasnt only practicioner in the village, and such wasn't on that big of stress. Just as we was about to do another cycling..
*Bang* *Bang*
"Who is disturbing me again, if its that woman again i swear i will give her few slaps on her but to teach her some manners!" mumbled to himself Xu Ming as he set up and gone answer the door.
"Hello, i'm Joe Robert, herbalist looking for home, want weed?" answered Joe jovialy
'The heck?! Who is this foreigner, wait, did he just say he is herbalist and is offering weed ?!' Thought Ming as he increduosly looked at Joe
"Greetings, i'm Xu Ming village chief, what do you mean by looking for home? And about the weed, we are not very wealthy here, so i would first need to try the product."
"Want buy house. For the weed, can give u one puffy!" Answered Joe, and took out hist last wrapped up joint, light it up and took one big breach, and offered it to Xu Ming
'What's that ? Did he wraped weed in paper?! What about letting it simmer on hot stone, or using pipe?!' shocked Xu Ming thought, and tried to copy Joe, which was against common sense success for first time, ofcourse when one takes into account the ammount of control Rank 2 cultivator has over his body is not that weird.
'Holy shit, thats some high grade cannabis, even more so when its just mortal grade, withou any QI! Something like this could sell for few golden teals in city!' though Xu Ming as he looked at Joe "Where did you get this ?"
"Grown it in my last garden, garden no more, only seed left." said Joe sadly
'If he can grow this enmass and have this quality that could be lot of gold, wait didn't he said he wants house and if we tax him i could finally buy some better technique in the city, maybe even some elixirs! But first of all, i should buy some of that weed for my self, as he is foreigner he needs to undersell' thought greedily Xu Ming "How much for weed"
Joe knew he needed some more cash he reluctantly he out another big head from his bag, that leaves him with only one of such size, what a unfortune! And it will take so long to grow this! "My last head, 10 silve teals"
'So cheap?! Let's try to lower it.' thought XU Ming and counter offered "6 silver teals and you will get house on the outskirts of village with one sqare li of land"
'That suspicious, and how much was li again ?! Was it 2 kilometer or half? Let's try up it a bit' thought paranoicly Joe and counteroffered "7 teals and house with that land"
"We are here on outskirts and we dont have lot of silver, but we have lot of land so what about 6 silver teal and house with 15 squalre li of land"
"Deal!" said Joe even thou he was suspicious, it was still good deal, pothouse and land will be needed if he wants to cultivate his weed enmass, and people of this land don't seem to have trouble with it, they even pay in silver! 'Hopefully silver isn't something higly devalued'
"Good" answered Xu Ming and took out 6 silver teals togerther with leather containing deed for land, which he filled out and asked Joe to write his name in it as, he just wasnt able to come up how he should write it 'What are those squibles?! Is it writing system of those foreigners? No wonder they are called barbarians.'. After both signed it with their blood, they exchanged weed for silver and deed.
"Nice doing bussiness with you, now follow me i will show you your house." Xu Ming stood up and led Joe to the west of the village to broken down house.
"This? And what with Forest" Asked increduously Joe 'Well, the house is repairable, but how am i supposed to grow in forrest, like yeah i could go look for some fun mushrooms, but weed is better and healthier.'
"This house was owned by one family that left last autum, and as village chief it fell to my hands, it might look bad but it just needs some repair and cleaning, as for forest tommorow will send to you our woodcutter to help you clean it out" said Xu Ming 'What's his problem, did he think he would get part of farmland ?! I can understand that it should be there more fertile, but it's too open and we need food.'
'Well if they will help me clear out, then that would solve the trouble, together with the security issue of having it in open and i would even have lot of wood, unless ofcourse the woodcutter wouldn't want to take evrything as payment. Well burning it to the ground would be the best as ti would fertilize the ground, but that could couse forest fire or even burn down the village, which would be stupid' thought Joe with renueve vigor "Okay, acceptable. Thanks."
"You are welcome, if you need anything come to me" said Xu Ming as he walked away 'And now its time to get stoned, i need to relieve some of that build up stress from constant cultivation'
"Okay, bye" said Joe and thought 'I need to solve the language barrier soon, i understood quater of what he said, fortunatly the bits i understand were enought to understand general gist of it, and i even have my pothouse, well ruin house, but still better then sleeping outside i guess' after which Joe started to scan the house for any signs of possible collapse
*few minutes later*
"Well, no parts which would indicate collapse of the building, i guess win for me, but it will require some cleaning, and repairing of some of the walls with holes, same for the windows, but otherwise for such house its in good shape, it just look scary from outside."
*hour later, after some cleaning and patching holes with dirt*
"Well it definetly looks better, and it looks like i don't even have to smoke, after so much moving, i finally released some of that juicy fat." Joe hapilly talked to himself, and decided to convert 6 of his teals into currency to finally buy that pack.
