Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

Sect master immediately nodded.

Finally, it was decided that this task had to be handled by dark hall and the core elder, or if news of this leaked, there would be a massive battle between the sects for the spirit stone mine.

After giving away the information about the Mine, Han Cai left the sect hall and went back to his cave abode.

Days passed by everything looked calm in the sect. But for some reason, the core elders and elders of the dark were rarely seen in the sect.

After a month, the Sect Master and Elder Dongmei visited Han Cai\'s cave abode. Coincidentally Han Cai was again having tea in his garden. Han Cai thought maybe it was his destiny to be disturbed during tea time in the garden.

This time Han Cai was not rude. He bowed to them. Gestured to them to have tea, and they both nodded in approval.

Especially elder Dongmei, who had experienced rudeness from Han Cai when he visited him last time. Both elder Dongmei and Sect master sat down. Han Cai served them tea.

Elder Dongmei spoke, "Han Cai, we checked out the medium size spirit stone mine actually does exist. You were right. You have made a great contribution to the sect."

Sect master had a very pleased expression on his face. His Disciple contributed greatly to the sect. He was very right to accept Han Cai as his disciple.

Han Cai being celestial talent, the sect master knew that he might not be able to guide him in his cultivation journey a lot, but he wanted to support his disciple as much he could.

After the episode with Xiaoyun, the sect master was left with only Han Cai, and he felt a great deal of anxiety about whether or not he would repeat the same mistakes with Han Cai that he had done with Xiaoyun. He blamed himself, believing that it was his actions that led to Xiaoyun developing these characteristics. Perhaps he didn\'t treat her well enough.

Due of his reservations, the Sect master experienced a sense of comfort when he witnessed the care and concern that elder Dongmei showed towards Han Cai. Elder Dongmei will be there for Han Cai to encourage and guide him regardless of whether or not he makes mistakes.

The sect master placed a high value on elder Dongmei\'s advice. Regardless of how difficult a person elder Dongmei was. His disciples never betrayed him, and he had hundreds of them over the course of hundreds of years. All of his disciples still feared and respected him, and they were the sect\'s backbone. That demonstrated that, despite his unconventional personality, elder Dongmei had seen the world and knew how to handle disciples and guide them on the right path.

The sect master agreed with elder Dongmei\'s words and spoke, "Uncle master is correct. You have made a significant contribution to the sect. Do you want any other rewards besides the spirit stones?"

Han Cai raised his head. "This Disciple received numerous rewards from the sect without even contributing anything to it, whether it was the earth-grade treasure or assisting my family. I owe a great deal to the sect. I\'m just glad I was able to contribute to the sect ".

Elder Dongmei and Sect Master both liked Han Cai\'s response.

"Even though it will take some time before we can mine the medium-sized mine," Elder Dongmei said, "I have decided that I will provide you with the spirit stones you need in advance so you can cultivate without any problems."

The sect master almost rolled his eyes . Elder Dongmei was at it again, taking all the credit without blinking.

Elder Dongmei spoke as he made the decision alone, but it was the sect\'s decision to reward Han  Cai with the spirit stones in advance because he had contributed so much.

The Sect Master raised his voice. "I was careless as your master. I had no idea you didn\'t have any storage treasure. Aside from the spirit stones, I\'ll make sure you get a storage ring from the sect."

Unlike elder Dongmei, who took all the credit without doing any work, the Sect master decided to give Han Cai a storage ring, a very valuable item. Its price was nearly equal to the number of spirit stones Han Cai desired. But the sect master felt it was his fault because he had given Xioyun a storage ring but not Han Cai, who had contributed so much to the sect. It was only natural that he also gave Han Cai a storage ring.

Han Cai had storage space, so he was not really much interested in the ring but seeing the sincerity of his master. He bowed and showed gratitude.

Elder Dongmei seeing that the sect master one-uped him, coughed and spoke, "Yes- Yes, it is only right that we should reward you storage ring too."

After informing Han Cai about his rewards, the Sect Master and Elder Dongmei left. Han Cai was happy he made a good amount of spirit stones this time and even gave back to the sect something in return. Overall, plan one could be considered successful now it was time to implement plan two.

A week after, Sect master and elder Dongmei informed Han Cai about his reward.

The reward arrived.

Han Cai received a massive Sum of 60,000 spirit stones in a storage ring. Han Cai converted those 60,000 spirit stones into 600 million exchange points.

He spent 500 million exchange points and requested that the system create a new skill technique for him. This was the first time Han Cai would use the system to create a skill technique rather than learning it. Han Cai had a lot of faith in this skill technique, and he had already discussed all of the details with the system in the previous few months. That\'s how he knew how much a skill like that would cost.

Han Cai believed with this skill, the chances of him dying in any dangerous situation will reduce by fifty percent, and that is why he did not mind spending the massive amount of five hundred million exchange points.

He named the skill Celestial Clone Technique. Just like the name, this skill was not simple.

The technique allowed Han Cai to create a perfect clone of himself that was equal in power and skill. The clone should be indistinguishable from the real Han Cai and could use all of his skills and abilities, including his cultivation techniques and martial arts.

For inspiration, he referred to a certain famous jutsu in certain ninja anime he had seen in his past life.

The clone would last for 30 minutes and could be used for a variety of purposes, such as scouting, fighting, or performing tasks that required two people. Once the clone had served its purpose or its time had expired, it would disappear without leaving a trace.

The technique required a significant amount of spirit energy to create and maintain the clone, which made it a costly skill to use. It gave him an edge over his opponents and allowed him to take on challenges that he would have otherwise been unable to overcome. It also opened up new possibilities for exploration and discovery, as Han Cai could send his clone to scout out new areas and gather information without putting himself in danger. He could send the clone to check out the mines in dangerous areas while he stayed in the safe vicinity.

From the remaining 100 million, he used 75.4 million exchange points to get his cultivation to reach the foundation established in one go.

He felt a powerful surge of energy within his body. He had heard stories of this momentous occasion, but nothing could have prepared him for the actual experience.

As he sat cross-legged, he felt the celestial Qi in his dantian start to turn from its gaseous state into a liquid. It was as if tiny droplets of water were forming and gathering together, swirling and pulsing with power. Finally, the droplets coalesced into a single drop, and Han Cai knew that he had reached the foundation establishment level.

The liquid content in his dantian was extremely dense and compressed, filled with immense celestial energy. Han Cai felt as if he could take on hundreds of mortal people at once, and tens of Qi condensation-level cultivators would be no match for him. He felt invigorated as if a new world had opened up before him.

Han Cai marveled at the power he now possessed, feeling as if he could do anything. He stood up. His movements were fluid and effortless. He flew out of his cave abode and tested his newfound strength by punching a nearby tree. The tree shattered into pieces with just one blow, and Han Cai knew that his power was now on a completely different level.

As he walked away from the shattered tree, he knew that dark hall disciples would be informing elder Dongmei about him reaching the foundation establishment.

He didn\'t put in a lot of effort or make any sacrifices beyond planning, but he still felt like he had endured a lot of hardship to get here. He felt planning how to better his cultivation every day in his Jacuzzi had taken a toll on him, but now he was beginning to see the benefits.

After improving his cultivation, the next skill technique Han Cai wanted to use was also something that could improve his chances of survival in the outside world. He used 12.6 million exchange points to level up his invisibility technique to level 5.

Why invisibility but not other skills? Because the invisibility technique was another very important factor in his upcoming plans.

Now at the fifth level of invisibility technique, besides being invisible to the naked eye, Han Cai was able to conceal his entire being, including his presence, physical form, voice, footsteps, and scent.

The feeling of becoming completely invisible made Han Cai feel like he had stopped existing. He could move around freely without fear of being detected, and it gave him a sense of power that he had never experienced before.

However, Han Cai was surprised when he found that the abode array could still detect his presence despite being invisible.

He knew that the abode array was a powerful tool used by the Sky Soaring Sect to detect any intruders or enemies. The fact that it could still detect his presence meant that he had to work on improving his invisibility technique even further.

But for now, Han Cai was very pleased with his achievement just in a day. There was still much work to be done. He was ready for the next stage of his plans that lay ahead.

Han Cai waited for a few days. Then one night Han Cai used exchange points to scan if any dark hall elder was nearby, the system informed them there was one elder, and a few dark hall disciples were on the lookout near his cave abode. Ever since he gave the sect the location of the medium-sized mine, the dark hall elders were very busy, but still, elder Dongmei left one elder to be on the lookout near his cave abode. Since the intention of the elder was to protect Han Cai, Han Cai could not protest.

Good thing he was prepared.

Han Cai used the clone technique, and celestial energy rapidly depleted from his Dantian.

Soon there was another Han Cai appeared right in front of him. This clone was not just a copy of the original Han Cai but also had the same abilities and powers. It was an ideal decoy.

Han Cai spent some exchange points and asked the system to refill his dantian with celestial energy. For 100 exchange points, Han Cai recovered all the celestial energy. When Han Cai recovered the celestial energy, he used the invisibility technique on himself, and his real body disappeared without a trace. Only the clone remained.

Han Cai\'s clone left the cave abode. The dark hall elder, who was on the lookout, followed the clone. Using Qing gong Han Cai\'s clone flew all the way to the abode of his master.  Han Cai knew the sect master would be in his abode right now.

The majority of the Sky Soaring Sect\'s members considered the Sect Master\'s residence to be a place of mystery and awe. It had a commanding view of the entire region and was situated on the sect\'s highest peak. The abode was at the top of a tall, steep cliff, and was only reachable by a winding, narrow path that was patrolled by the sect\'s most accomplished disciples.
