Chapter 292 Eternal Grace Sect



Reed Blossom peeked at Han Cai and whispered, "Is there any other place the esteemed Cultivator Masters wish to visit?" The huge amount of spirit stones Han Cai had spent had left him astounded. Even though he had seen other cultivators spend lavishly under his guidance, they typically only parted with several tens of spirit stones at most. This was his first encounter with someone who could afford to part with nearly three hundred thousand spirit stones in one go.

Suddenly, Reed Blossom regarded Han Cai and Yongnian with renewed respect, buoyed by the hope of a potentially larger reward. After all, Han Cai seemed to be quite free with his money. As long as Reed Blossom met his requirements, he was certain he wouldn't be short-changed.

Han Cai, glancing briefly at Reed Blossom, nonchalantly instructed, "Lead me to the city's marketplace and brief me about the more prominent stores."

Subsequently, Yongnian employed his Qi to transport Han Cai and Reed Blossom towards the marketplace in a flash of light.

…

Several hours later, Han Cai was stretched out on a broad wooden bed, his hands cradling his head. Earlier, Reed Blossom had acquainted him with the key locations in Meadow City. After rewarding Reed Blossom, they parted ways, and Han Cai watched him leave with a delighted smile on his face. Following this, Han Cai returned to the cave dwelling on the forty-first layer that he had secured at a considerable cost.

The cave dwelling was exactly as portrayed in the jade talisman. It was tranquil and secluded, boasting a sizable herb garden. What pleased Han Cai the most was the abundance of spiritual Qi and its private nature. Indeed, the spirit vein in the mountain was extraordinary, far surpassing his previous dwelling in the Vermillion Phoenix continent. All these advantages convinced Han Cai that he had made a good investment.

The protective spell encompassing the cave dwelling was remarkably strong, rivaling the grand array of the Azure Dragon Sect.

Nevertheless, Han Cai wasn't entirely comfortable relying solely on the dwelling's protective spell. He resolved to rest briefly and then install a few of his own protective formations the next day. Once his dwelling felt secure, he would devise his future plans.

With this in mind, Han Cai drifted into a deep sleep. He had been flying relentlessly for the past several months and was genuinely fatigued.

Awakening on the second day, Han Cai was soon busy with his tasks. He installed multiple formidable formations outside his cave dwelling and cultivated a variety of spiritual herbs in the vacant garden for future growth. After a trip to the market city to purchase a bulk of alchemical materials, he returned to his dwelling and dedicated a separate room for alchemy.

After settling everything, Han Cai took a few more days to rest in his abode. He then sought Reed Blossom again. This time, he aimed to purchase a shop in the city to set up his own alchemy business. To his surprise, he discovered that one couldn't simply buy a new store in the city without the Fairy Saints' approval. Another alternative was to buy a shop from a current owner willing to sell, but the price for such transactions was prohibitively high.

Han Cai decided to concoct a large quantity of pills for sale, hoping that even with the exorbitant price of the deeds, he could accumulate enough without tapping into his savings. He started visiting several pill-selling stores to build relationships with them.

His plan was straightforward this time around: establish himself permanently in the central continent, focus on cultivation, and gradually learn more about the continent until he could uncover the identity of the individual who sent the red-clothed cultivator to assassinate him. Han Cai was confident this was the same individual who had betrayed his former partner.

One day, after finishing a transaction with a minor traveling merchant, a young woman as enchanting as a flower obstructed his path back to his cave dwelling.

"Are you Senior Han? My lady wishes to invite Han Cai to the nearby Green Summit Inn. If you would honor us with your presence? If not, I will face severe punishment from my Mistress."

"I'm not interested," Han Cai retorted, barely sparing the young woman a glance. He had quickly discerned that she was a Qi Condensation cultivator practicing a charming technique. If he had been less wise or attentive, he might have found himself in an embarrassing predicament.

Upon hearing Han Cai's refusal, the young woman was taken aback and pleaded urgently, "Senior Han! If you don't accompany me, I will be held accountable."

Unmoved by her plea, Han Cai turned away indifferently. Regardless of who she represented, he had no interest in meeting with strangers.

"Senior Han, please wait! I, Xiaolian of the Eternal Grace Sect, pay my respects to Senior Han. Please pardon Lifen's indiscretion. I will ensure she learns from this," a melodic voice appealed as Han Cai took a few steps away.

He paused and turned to see a woman with a muslin veil covering her face standing beside the young woman. Her skin was as white as snow and her hair was glossy black, elegantly piled high on her head. Her clear, bright eyes stared intently at Han Cai.

"I don't know you, miss. If you have something to say, please be brief. I intend to return to my dwelling for cultivation," Han Cai responded curtly.

Xiaolian seemed slightly taken aback before replying with a soft smile, "Since Senior Han prefers a straightforward approach, I won't beat around the bush. Our sect is extremely interested in the rare pills you've been selling. We would like to discuss this matter with you. However, this place is quite crowded. Would it be possible to continue this conversation in a more secluded spot at an inn?"
