The shadow nodded and disappeared.
Han Cai was cultivating peacefully in his cave abode. Yongnian ca near cultivation chamber and bowed outside of the chamber.
Han Cai, with his perception, noticed Yongnian outside of the chamber and ca out. He nodded to Yongnian, then disappeared.
In a few monts, Han Cai was in front of the gate of his cave abode, and he saw a dark-clad elder waiting patiently in the front.
Han Cai asked, "To Sect Hall?"
The man dressed in dark hall clothes nodded.
Inside the sect hall, Elder Dongi and the Sect Master were sitting quietly. Han Cai went near them and bowed.
They were taken aback. Han Cai had stopped bowing to them long ago, but today he was showing so much respect. What was going on?
Still, they both nodded.
Then Elder Dongi looked at him and asked, " Was it a coincidence?"
Han Cai shook his head "no."
Then the elder spoke again, "How?"
Han Cai replied, "Money."
Elder Spoke, "How much?"
Han Cai answered, "Five billion."
The elder and sect master both had their eyes widened.
Seeing Elder Dongi's expression, Han Cai felt that the elder was having an epiphany in Dao of cardiac arrest.
The sect master was equally shocked. The amount was beyond their wildest expectations, and they couldn't believe their ears. The silence in the room was only broken by the sound of Elder Dongi gasping for air.
Elder cald himself and asked, "Who?"
Han Cai shook his head and said, "Can't say?"
Elder creased his forehead and asked, "Are they from the enemy country?"
Han Cai shook his head and said, "No, idea, probably a hidden family. I saved their young master by lucky chance."
The sect master and elder were not surprised about it being a hidden family. The Starfall sect, which ca out a few hundred years ago, used to be a hidden sect. There might be many more hidden sects or families.
Elder spoke: "Where did you get your five billion spirit stones from?"
Han Cai looked at him deeply and answered, "missions."
Elder Dongi gave another shocked look," Are you saying you earned five billion from missions I assigned to you?"
Han Cai noticed that Elder Dongi was having a second epiphany in Dao of cardiac arrest.
Elder Dongi thought this kid was not good for his health.
When Han Cai said it was through missions, he was implying that he obtained the five billion spirit stones by robbing the targets he killed or that the dark hall gave him the five billion. Elder could tell Han Cai was lying; there was no way he could have earned five billion spirit stones by robbing the targets. The dark hall could not have given him this many spirit stones. Elder Dongi personally assigned his missions, so Han Cai couldn't have ant he earned those five billion spirit stones through Dark Hall rewards.
Elder Dongi saw this as a golden opportunity. Han Cai had just admitted to robbing mission targets. He could never find a good reason to chastise Han Cai before because there was never any evidence of him robbing his targets.
Elder Dongi wanted to use this opportunity. It was his lucky chance, worth five billion spirit stones, to teach Han Cai a lesson. He rarely got an opportunity to yell at Han Cai. No matter if Han Cai really earned five billion spirit stones by robbing his targets or if he was just lying. It was a good opportunity.
He started chiding Han Cai, saying, " Mission was supposed to be done quietly, not by making such a loud noise for the whole world to hear. You rob your targets; don't you feel sha? How can I show my face to the outside world? The Kid I raised beca a robber. Do you like seeing this old man suffer.... "
Elder Dongi's rant went on for a while.
Finally, the sect master had to cough three tis to stop Elder and go back to the point.
The mont Elder cald down, Han Cai added fuel to the fire and spoke, " mission was supposed to be difficult, not impossible."
Han Cai spoke only one sentence, but for so reason, Elder Dongi felt Han Cai was telling him, "You expect to get past two nascent souls in the sa room and kill the target—not even rob them? You are a senile old man. Go retire."
Elder Dongi almost coughed up blood. The sect master had to diate again, and he offered tea to Elder Dongi so he could calm down.
This ti sect master spoke, "Han Cai, now the entire Yin country thinks that our Sky Soaring Sect is in partnership with those three nascent soul elders and the soul formation."
He implied that the major powers of Yin country would now consider the Sky Soaring Sect as dangerous competition because it had shown the power of the soul formation realm. They thought either the Sky Soaring Sect had brought a new soul-formation cultivator into their ranks or they had partnered with a hidden family that had a soul-formation cultivator, which was not good for the sect as people would be weary of them. Sects stronger than them might start bothering them.
Han Cai shook his head and said, "Sect is not, but I am!"
Elder Dongi and the sect master's eyes lit up. They understood what Han Cai was saying: if the sect was in need, through Han Cai, those nascent souls and soul formation cultivators would co to aid the sect. But the next sentence from Han Cai burst their bubble.
" They charge one hundred billion spirit stones to support any sect. They will not assist for more than thirty minutes," said Han Cai.
The elder and sect master had way too many questions. How could a soul formation level cultivator work as a hired thug? How could they charge so much for thirty minutes, like a prostitute?
Then the elder thought of another question.
Elder Dongi asked, " How did they do it for you in five billion spirit stones?"
"Discount for friends," said Han Cai with a serious face.
"Zhu Xin is your master and the sect master, too", the elder pointed out, even if Han Cai did not care about elder Dongi. He should consider his master, who was also the sect master, should receive the sa discount. Since they are all in the sa sect, why can't they receive the discount for friends?
Han Cai shook his head and said, " My master is my master, not theirs. They are my friends, not my master's. If necessity cos in the future and powerful enemy attacks that we need the help of soul formation, let's save so spirit stones for the rainy season. Send the hundred billion spirit stones to my cave abode; I will keep them safe."
The sect master and Dark Hall elder had a weird look in their eyes; How they thought they were raising a dragon, but it turned out they were raising a greedy dragon. He was haggling with them as if they were talking about vegetables in the market.
Elder did not know what to say. Han Cai always had answers to his questions. But this kid being able to hire soul formation for his personal mission is indeed an impressive fit.
The sect master asked, "When hired, how much ti do they take to arrive?"
"Imdiately, teleportation talisman," Han Cai spoke.
The sect master and elder's eyes glittered again. A soul formation could change the whole battle even if they do it just for thirty minutes."
Elder Dongi asked," What about the Spirit Embryo Realm? He was chasing you, right?"
Han Cai thought for a while and answered, "He is dead."
Sect Master and Elder Dongi gasped together.
Elder Dongi asked, "How?"
Han Cai shook his head and said," Your cultivation is too low to know about these things."
Elder Dongi felt like blood was rushing in his mouth because of anger. He spoke, "I am your grand uncle master and nascent soul cultivator. What do you an my cultivation is too low?"
Han Cai gave him a look that said you know exactly what I an.
The sect master shook his head.
It was the sect master who spoke this ti," Han Cai, The Spirit Embroyo Realm is no laughing matter. Were you really the one that he was chasing?"
Han Cai spoke sincerely," Yes, master and I killed him."
Elder Dongi spit out the tea he was sipping and asked, "Who did you kill?"
Han Cai gave him a look that said, Do you have any hearing problems? Who were we talking about?
Sect master spoke in all seriousness," Do you an to say you really killed the spirit Embryo Realm cultivator?"
Han Cai just shrugged and nodded.
Sect Master and Elder Dongi's eyes went wide.
Elder Dongi's enlightennt on DAO of Cardiac arrest went from 25% to 50%.
Sect Hall stayed eerily silent for a while. After a while, elder Dongi cald down and spoke.
" How did you kill him? I told you to run if you got into danger. Do you think it is a child's ga we are playing here? People get killed before they even realize it. If you do not care about my teachings at all, at least you should have so concerns about your master and your family. What if sothing happens to you? What will your family do? You have done a lot for our sect. We can not say that you have not paid back the sect, but we both know how much the sect is dependent on you in the future. I am very disappointed in you for being so reckless.... ".
Elder Dongi went on another angry rant, trying to make Han Cai understand the consequences of his actions. Han Cai was a bit moved by this old Man's consideration. But he knew no matter what he said, these both would never believe him unless he gave them so proof.
