Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System



Everyone was surprised about what transpired last night.

But no one was as surprised as Yan Fucheng and the golden-core guards. Last night, two Nascent Souls attacked, and Yan Fucheng fought the two in the sky while the guards stood below, protecting the inn. But before the battle could get serious, they were all knocked out, and when they woke up, they were sleeping inside the inn on the floor.

Yan Fucheng got up, looked around, and saw Han Cai sitting, demanding food from the inn owner. He looked around to see if the Nascent Souls who attacked were present, but there was no one. Soon, the food arrived, and Han Cai ate a fulfilling meal.

After enjoying his food to the fullest, Han Cai said, "I hope everyone is well rested. We will leave in some time; prepare the carriage."

All the guards were still in shock. Zhen Long, who was sitting in the corner, got up and coughed. The guards realized they were sitting on the floor, looking too dumb. They immediately got up and looked at Yan Fucheng. 

Yan Fucheng nodded. Seeing their superior nod, the guards did not question anything and quietly left the inn to prepare for the journey.

Han Cai went back to his room. Blacky came and gave Han Cai the Earth-grade storage ring. After giving the ring, Blacky jumped on Han Cai's shoulders. Han Cai moved, trying to push blacky away from his shoulders. While Han Cai and blacky were jumping around, Yongnian appeared; in his hands, there was an exquisite red jade pendant.

Yongnian said, "It's called Dragon's Breath. It can generate a protective barrier around its wearer. It's a Heaven-grade treasure taken from the patriarch of the Ren family. I have subdued the spirit so you can imprint it, and it will protect you."

Han Cai gave a curious look at Yongnian, "You went to Ren City too?"

Yongnian nodded and said, "Blacky asked me to. It said it would not be able to steal from the patriarch as it would alert him, so when it came back, I went for a while."

Han Cai nodded, took the pendant, and imprinted it. Han Cai was too weak to control this treasure, but the good thing was that Yongnian had already tamed it, so there was not much problem. After imprinting the treasure, Han Cai found out that what Yongnian said was true; the treasure informed Han Cai of its name and what it could do.

After giving Han Cai the treasure, Yongnian left, and sometime later, Yan Fucheng came to inform him that the carriage was ready to leave. Han Cai nodded and followed him. Yan Fucheng gave a curious look to the black cat on Han Cai's shoulder but did not say anything.

In the carriage, Han Cai checked what Blacky had robbed from the Ren family. There were more than fifty million lower-grade spirit stones in storage devices, a hundred thousand medium-grade stones, three thousand higher-grade spirit stones, a set of five Elemental swords, and a beautifully crafted pill bottle that had Earth-grade pills in it. There were many other things too, but these were the most useful items in the treasury of the Ren family.

The journey that followed for Han Cai and the procession was relatively smooth, with only a few minor hiccups along the way. Occasionally, they encountered beasts that would try to block their path, but these were quickly dealt with by the warriors traveling with them.

The route they took was frequently traveled by traders, merchants, and cultivators, and as such, it was not particularly dangerous. Many mortals took note of the luxurious procession passing through, but for the cultivators and merchants, it was nothing out of the ordinary.

The procession continued on their journey for several more weeks, and by the end of the month, they arrived at the bustling Verdant City. As a major hub for trade and cultivation in the area, Verdant City was an impressive city.

The city was alive with activity, with the streets lined with various shops and businesses catering to the needs of cultivators, traders, and merchants alike. It was a place where people from all walks of life converged to engage in commerce and seek opportunities for advancement.

When Han Cai and the procession arrived in Verdant City, they did not attract the same level of attention they had received in Willow Town. In a place like Verdant City, where luxurious groups were a common sight, the procession blended in with the bustling crowd. Han Cai marveled at the city's size and splendor, noting that it was twice as large as the Royal Capital of Yin and twice as luxurious as well. It was a testament to the thriving nature of the Vermilion Phoenix Continent.

After entering the city, the group made their way through the streets in search of an inn where they could settle down for the day.

Han Cai instructed Yan Fucheng to gather information about the city, as he planned to do some shopping the following day. Yan Fucheng informed Han Cai that he was familiar with Verdant City and knew the locations of the best alchemy shops, auction houses, weapon smiths, and other stores.

He also mentioned that most of the city's top businesses were owned by the Azure Dragon Sect or their vassal sects and clans.

After a day of rest, Han Cai embarked on a shopping trip through Verdant City, accompanied by Blacky on his shoulder, Zhen Long, and Yan Fucheng. Their first stop was the Azure Dragon Alchemy Store, renowned for its high-quality alchemy materials. Upon arriving at the massive store, which reminded Han Cai of shopping malls from his past life, they entered while the remaining guards stayed outside.
