BOOM! Just like two days ago, he fell inside the lake. However, this time, Han Xiao was no longer as drowsy as he was two days ago, but instead, he was extremely drowsy. When he reached the ninth layer of the [Mortal Refining] cultivation technique, Han Xiao discovered that although he was still sleeping much better than most Awakened Soul Cultivators, it did not affect his life any more. Furthermore, he did not have to worry about falling asleep at all.

"It seems like this Refinement World's Soul Tempering Method is the only way to cure the hidden danger in my body. In the future, I will no longer be able to relax my training in the Refinement World's Soul Tempering Method." He did not want to fall asleep like before, from time to time.

"However, it's time for me to go back and meet up with Xuan Sheng's group." After glancing at the sky, Han Xiao stood up and flew towards the forest where Xuan Sheng and the others were.

At this time, Xuan Sheng and the others were on the other side, "Vice Commander, should we hurry today or go?" They had already stayed in this forest for two days. Although the first day letting them rest was very happy, staying here for two days was already a little strange, not to mention that their commander, Han Xiao, had already disappeared without a trace. This caused them to feel a little uneasy.

"Commander Han hasn't returned yet, so he's still on standby." Xuan Sheng said.

"Yes." Hearing Xuan Sheng's words, Yao Guang sighed in his heart before returning to the group.

Seeing Yao Guang return, he felt that the group of people were getting more and more anxious. In his heart, he was even more confused as to what Han Xiao had gone to do.

"Xuan Sheng, tell me the truth, do you really not know where Han Xiao went?" Seeing Yao Guang return, Murong Qiao walked over and asked.

"I wouldn't be so upset if I knew." Xuan Sheng helplessly said.

"Even if you don't know, we've already waited for him for two days. If he doesn't come back tomorrow, we'll go to West Gorge and wait for him there." Murong Qiao said.

"But what if Commander Han can't find us after he returns?" Xuan Sheng frowned and asked.

"With Han Xiao's intelligence, he should know that we are going to the West Gorge town. Moreover, it's the harvest time these few days. If we don't hurry to the West Gorge town, we probably won't be able to receive this year's new rations."

"But …" Just as Xuan Sheng was about to retort, he suddenly felt Han Xiao's aura approaching, and his eyes flashed with joy. Raising his head, he saw Han Xiao slowly descend from the sky, landing in front of them.

"Commander Han." Xuan Sheng cried out in delight.

"Xuan Sheng, Murong Qiao." Han Xiao nodded his head to look at the other soldiers and said, "Xuanyuan Sheng, how long have I been gone for?"

"Two days. If you don't come back soon, we'll be going directly to the West Gorge." Murong Wei said as he looked at Han Xiao.

"Two days." Thinking about how he made everyone wait for him for two days, Han Xiao revealed an apologetic smile and said, "I'm sorry, I came back late. Since I'm back, Xuan Sheng, gather up the team and let's go."

"Yes, this lowly general obeys." After Xuan Sheng finished speaking, he turned around and went to gather his men.

Because they were worried that it would be too late for the new food, they sped up their departure. Fortunately, everyone was in their best condition after resting for two days, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to take it anymore.

And all this time, Han Xiao, because he was completely fine, did not smash trees or even rocks to raise his spirit, causing Xuanyuan Sheng and the rest to feel suspicious, but seeing that Han Xiao did not say anything, they did not ask.

The sun rose and the sun set, two days going by, because the speed was rather fast, they originally arrived in two days. Looking at West Gorge Town in front of them, as well as the guard Han Xiao who was guarding at the entrance, he raised his head and said: "Xuan Sheng, Murong Qi, and Bai Feng, the three of you follow me into the city to buy food, the rest are outside to help."

"Yes, this lowly general obeys." "Yes!" Everyone replied as they set up tents in the open area outside, waiting to receive Han Xiao.

Han Xiao then brought the three of them to the West Gorge Town.

Arriving at the entrance of the West Gorge Town, Han Xiao spent 200 Spirit Stones to exchange for 4 passage tokens as per usual before bringing the three of them into the city.

As soon as he entered the West Gorge town, Han Xiao heard all sorts of noises, and saw all kinds of stalls set up on the street. The stalls' owners were calling out with all their might, and walking along the street in the middle of the city was a relatively tall building with a white roof.

"Let's go to the nearby grain stores first." After Han Xiao said this, he took the lead and walked towards the two sides of the street.

After walking for a while, Han Xiao saw a grain store. He then led the three people in, and as soon as he entered, he saw the grain store owner warmly welcoming him.

"Guests, the food in our shop is newly collected this year, the price is fair and the quality is the best in the entire West Gorge Town. How much do you want, sir?" the owner asked.

"The price is fair, how much do you want to pay?" Han Xiao asked.

"Thirteen thousand Spirit Stones. This is the cheapest thing in the entire West Gorge Town." The owner said with a smile.

"Shop owner, I remember a few months ago, didn't you already pay ten thousand a load? Why did you suddenly raise money?" Han Xiao asked.

"Customer, you might not know this, but a few months ago, the grain from last year was not the new grain, so the price was naturally cheaper. However, the new grain plus this year's harvest is really not good, so the price will be higher." The owner said with a smile.

"So that's how it is. Then show me your food." Han Xiao waved his sleeves and said.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, the inn owner's smile became even wider, and he hastily took out a handful of grains and placed it on the ground.

"Esteemed customer, please have a look. Our Spirit Rice is very full, and each one is very crystal clear. The rice we make is also very fragrant. Anyone who eats our rice will not be able to eat other people's rice." The owner said with a smile.

When Han Xiao heard the shop owner's words, he bent down to look at the spirit rice in front of him. This was the first time he had seen a raw spirit rice, and honestly speaking, he wasn't very good at it, so he could only take a look at the appearance and smell it before handing it over to Xuan Sheng: "Xuan Sheng, what do you think about this rice?"

Xuan Sheng took the spirit rice that Han Xiao had given him, and sniffed it before licking it: "Returning to Commander Han is indeed a new grain, if all of it is like this then it would be okay."

"Oh, if that's the case, boss, I'll take a million a load." Han Xiao said indifferently.

"It's not that I don't want to sell this guest, but that ten thousand isn't really appropriate. Could you tell me?" Before the shop owner could finish, he saw Han Xiao turn around and panicked. He quickly shouted, "Dear guest, don't be in such a hurry to leave. Please take a look at my family's rice again."

"I'll buy it if you sell it, but I don't mind if you don't sell it since you're not the only one in the whole city that owns the grain store." Han Xiao said indifferently.

Hearing Han Xiao's words, the shop owner became even more panicked. He thought for a moment before gritting his teeth and saying, "Fine, deal, but with a million taels of food, I will need three days to prepare it. Guest, I don't know."

This storage ring contains a million soul stones. When you are done preparing them, send them to an open area 300 meters outside of the city. If you know what's good for you, don't play any tricks and I'll go through them one by one. As he finished speaking, Han Xiao led the three of them out of the grain store, leaving behind the shop owner who was trembling as he looked at the backs of the four, only stopping after Han Xiao and the rest had gone far away.

After coming out of the grain store, Han Xiao brought the three of them to the gambling house. After winning five million spirit stones to make up for his loss, he brought them out of the gambling house and continued walking around the streets.

"Commander Han, I didn't expect your gambling skills to be so high. Today, I saw that the boss of the gambling den was about to turn green." After exiting the gambling den, Xuan Sheng laughed as he spoke to Han Xiao.

"That's because I didn't show him any mercy today and directly bet the biggest on him. Otherwise, he might even have the heart to die." After Han Xiao finished speaking, he thought about the extra five million Spirit Stones in his pocket and said with a faint smile, "This time, besides the money to buy the food, there is still four million. It's a balance in my heart."

Knowing that Han Xiao was talking about Jiang Yao not giving him the money, Xuan Sheng didn't say anything more. After all, this wasn't something his status could handle.

"The auction house will be open tonight. Are you planning to go?" Bai Feng suddenly asked.

Looking at the sky which was nearing dusk, he thought for a moment before nodding his head, "Okay, I've never seen an auction house before, so this time I'll take it as an experience."

"We can only go and broaden our horizons. The things inside are really not something that we, with our wealth, can afford." Xuan Sheng bitterly laughed.
