Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System
chapter-208

Outside the auction house, the young Masters of the Hu and Qi families stood near the entrance of the VIP gate, scrutinizing every person that came out. If the person was not from a very powerful background, they would be sending their followers to rob the person.

While Young Masters scrutinized the guests of the auction house. Han Cai, Yongnian, and Blacky directly reappeared at the inn.

After dropping Han Cai off in his room, Yongnian went out to call Yan Fucheng.

Soon, Yan Fucheng came and informed Han Cai that the carriage was ready.

Han Cai nodded, and he left the inn with Blacky and got into the carriage. The carriage moved swiftly with guards around it, and in no time, they were out of Verdant City, moving back towards Yan City.

The return journey for them was uneventful; they did not find any trouble on the way and arrived back at Yan City in a month's time.

After returning, Han Cai went back to his abode. Now that he had all the materials, he planned to practice all three arts.

Han Cai gave a few tasks to Blacky. The first task was to find an alchemist who was not a good person and steal his cauldron. Han Cai was breaking his law here of not bothering someone that did not bother him, but he needed a good cauldron.

The second task he gave Blacky was to find the remaining materials for the Awakening pill but not steal them; he wanted Blacky to search the forest area instead.

While Blacky left to finish his tasks, Han Cai got himself busy with his daily cultivating, creating formations, and talismans.

Han Cai had been practicing them for a while now, but he had not created a complete array or talisman yet; they were just for practice and theory. But since he got all the materials needed, he planned to create a real array all by himself.

When Han Cai was preparing to start with his first array, a servant came and informed him that his great-grandpa was calling for him.

Han Cai reached his great-grandpa's courtyard; he saw Yan Fucheng standing outside. Han Cai understood what this was about.

Han Cai entered the main hall, where his great-grandpa Rui was sitting on a cushion, as usual, busy reading something.

When Han Cai entered, Yan Rui took his eyes off the paper and looked at him.

Yan Rui's expression was serious. He motioned for Han Cai to come and sit.

Han Cai went and sat quietly in front of Great-grandpa Rui.

Old man Rui spoke, "I got all the details about your journey. I want you to be honest with me and tell me where did you get this many spirit stones?"

Han Cai gave an innocent look to Yan Rui and said, "It was you who gave them to me, Grandpa."

Instead of calling him great-grandpa. Han Cai called him Grandpa affectionately.

Yan Rui's expression became confused, "When did I give you this many spirit stones?"

Han Cai replied, "You didn't give me the spirit stones directly, Grandpa, but you gave me the jade to learn that Frigid Qi technique. That Grandpa inside the jade gave me all the spirit stones, and he's teaching me array, alchemy, and talisman creation too."

Yan Rui got even more confused, "There was a Grandpa in the jade?"

Han Cai nodded and took out the jade that his grandpa had given him.

Han Cai spoke, "Grandpa, come out. My great-grandpa wants to meet you."

Soon, the jade shook, and an old man emerged from it. In a very awkward position in spirit form, he floated in the air, with Frigid Qi swirling around him. If someone looked carefully, they would notice there was Death Qi hidden within the Frigid Qi.

Han Cai said, "Jade Grandpa, this is my great-grandpa Rui. He wanted to know about the spirit stones you gave me."

The old man, Yao, from the jade, looked at Yan Rui warily. But seeing that Yan Rui was only an Earth Immortal, he sighed and showed a proud-looking face.

Old man Yao spoke to Yan Rui in a proud voice, "Young one, I gave those spirit stones. I am a hundred thousand years older than you. I promised your grandson my legacy; I will make him an Alchemy Grandmaster in the future. But understand this: I had many powerful enemies in my past, so I need to keep my existence secret."

Yan Rui's mouth was agape. There was actually another grandpa in the jade. Before he could say something, Old Man Yao spoke again, "Since you are meeting me for the first time, here is a gift for you. Your great-grandkid will have my cultivation legacy. All my treasures and rewards will go to him, so you don't need to worry about his resources."

Saying that Old Yao moved his hands, and out of nowhere, a storage ring appeared in front of Yan Rui.

Yan Rui checked the ring, and there were a thousand medium-grade spirit stones inside. Yan Rui was speechless.

After having his say, Old Man Yao returned to the jade, while Old Man Yan Rui stayed shocked for a long time.

Han Cai spoke, "Grandpa, see! It was you who gave them to me. I will be learning array creation and alchemy with the help of Jade Grandpa."

Old man Rui nodded, looking at his excited great-grandson. He had his own concerns. What if Old Man Yao was helping Han Cai for some ulterior motive? Perhaps he wanted to make Han Cai an expert cultivator and then take over his body.

But Yan Rui decided not to take any action for now. First, he would see how things go, and if he sensed any problems, he would take the jade away from Han Cai. No matter how many spirit stones the old man gave, Yan Rui knew there were no free meals in the world.

Yan Rui asked Han Cai about his cultivation progress, and Han Cai showed him that he was progressing well. After seeing Han Cai's progress, Yan Rui allowed him to go back to his courtyard.
