Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System

The system continued to provide Han Cai with up-to-date information regarding the clever strategy that had been hatched by members of the Cui family in order to get the core elders of the Sky Soaring Sect to divulge the location of the medium-grade mine.

They came to the conclusion that Elder Pan would be the best person to assist them in kidnapping one of the sect's inner core disciples.

However, the majority of these disciples were always protected or only rarely left the inner sect.

During the time when they were discussing how to put the plan into action, Elder Pan offered information that was helpful.

He informed them that one of the highest-ranking outer sect disciples, Liqin, was very close to an inner core disciple, Niu.

So, if they wanted Niu to leave the sect, they had to use Liqin.

The Cui family members were overjoyed and immediately began planning. They gathered all of the information about Liqin by using Elder Pan's connections in the outer sect. They discovered she came from a small martial family, and her father ran a small dojo in a town near the Sky Soaring Sect. When Liqin's father was about to close his dojo one day, two cultivators appeared out of nowhere, knocked him out, and carried him away.

Two days later, Liqin found a letter in her quarters, and upon opening it, her eyes turned red. She immediately left her quarters and ran towards the forest outside of the sect.

When Liqin arrived at the address mentioned in the letter, she discovered her father tied to a tree and unconscious. Suddenly, two cultivators in black with their faces hidden appeared in front of her. The cultivators instructed Liqin to persuade Niu to leave the sect within two months, or she would never see her father again. Liqin was terrified and worried about her father, so she agreed to their demands right away.

Niu, a young lady from the inner sect who was a core disciple, had developed affection for Liqin and frequently invited her to her cave dwelling for some lighthearted fun.

During one of Liqin's visits, she brought up the idea of embarking on a mission for the sect to track down and eliminate some bandits.

After some initial hesitation, Niu ultimately gave in to Liqin's insistence and agreed to her proposal.

However, when Niu went to inform her master about the mission, she found out that the elder of the weapon's hall was away on a secret sect mission.

Niu then informed the other elders of the weapon hall about her planned mission with Liqin.

As inner sect elders of the weapon hall were unaware of spirit stone mines, they thought it was normal for core disciples to go on missions occasionally.

As a result, they agreed to let Niu go on the mission but assigned a few outer sect elders to protect her in case of trouble.

When the outer sect elders who were tasked with protecting Niu told the other outer sect elders of their mission, some of the other outer sect elders saw it as an opportunity for their disciples to build relationship with the inner core disciple.

As a result, the elders of other top disciples pulled some strings and sent their own faction's disciples to join Niu and Liqin on the mission. A number of well-known disciples from the outer sect, including Shihong, Fan Zixin, Bohai, Kong Dandan, and others, joined the mission.

Han Cai read the list of names and sighed. He couldn't believe that the elders were willing to risk sending all of the talented outer sect disciples to the Cui family's Jaws just to have their factions make friends with the core disciple Niu. This kind of greed would eventually lead to the downfall of the sect.

He couldn't believe that he had stumbled upon this kind of situation. The fact that he had found out about the plot didn't seem to him to be a coincidence. Han Cai wondered if Karma was real; if it was, then his stumbling upon such a situation was not just an unlucky chance.

It's possible that the heavens were trying to tell him that he needed to do more for the sect and that his payment of a medium-sized mine wasn't enough to cover it. Han Cai let out a sigh and went back to reading about the plot hatched by the Cui family.

Liqin had already informed the Cui family members about their upcoming mission. She had shared that Niu, her, some other outer sect disciples, and foundation establishment-level outer sect elders would be leaving the sect in three month's time.

In addition to that, she informed them that the objective of the group was to track down the infamous black Wind bandits.

As soon as the Cui family and Elder Pan found out about this, they arranged a meeting with the head of the Black Wind bandits, who was known as Black Wind Yan. It was clear that the group had already settled on the plan.

According to the plan, the Black Wind bandits would lure the Inner core disciple deep into the forest. Members of the Cui family would ambush them once they had gotten far enough in the forest. The core condensation Cui family member would take care of the foundation establishment elders, while the foundation establishment cultivator of the Cui family would handle the Qi condensation level disciples. On the other hand, Black Wind Yan and the other bandits in the group would focus on Niu.

Elder Pan would stay in the back and provide support if required.

Han Cai was faced with a difficult decision. Should he use his exchange points to get a communication talisman to inform elder Dongmei or the sect master about the impending danger, or should he take matters into his own hands and come up with a plan himself? He spent a lot of time contemplating his options. He knew that he had to help.

At the same time, he wondered if the sect already had a plan in place and how dark hall could have let such a situation pass them by when they had discovered the poisoning scheme.

Then he remembered that the dark hall was currently occupied by medium-sized spirit mine.

Han Cai was aware of the fact that he did not possess the strength necessary to defeat the core condensation level cultivator as well as the Black Wind bandits on his own. He required a plan in order to protect himself and achieve his goals successfully.

Both Han Cai and Yonginan decided to remain in the same location for two days.  Yonginan would prepare spirit meals for Han Cai while he worked on a plan.

Han Cai's mind eventually formed a plan. He realised that if he followed the plan correctly, he could not only escape unscathed, but also earn a substantial amount of exchange points. However, in order to be implemented, just like his other plans, this  plan also required a significant amount of exchange points.

So, Han Cai and Yonginan embarked on a journey to smaller spirit mines to gather more exchange points. Han Cai would go inside the mines while Yonginan waited outside. Once the mine was depleted, they would immediately continue their journey without stopping, except for short breaks when they were out of Qi.

Han Cai pushed himself to the limit, absorbing more than ten spirit mines dry by the end of the fourth week and saving over a billion exchange points in the process.

Han Cai put those billion points to good use by developing an innovative new skill technique.

Han Cai looked at the system panel.

[Initiate Law of Equal Exchange?]

After reaching the foundation establishment, he had all his stats boosted up. His daily income of exchange points had increased a lot too. But that was still peanuts compared to his needs.

Han Cai examined new skill techniques he had developed using a system. He paid one billion exchange points for this skill technique. This technique would have been more expensive if Han Cai did not have the element escape technique, as it was the foundation of this technique.

First, he had to level up the element escape technique and then use the system's upgrade feature to level up the skilled technique itself.  He could still use element escape instead of space escape if he wanted, but there were differences between heaven and earth in this technique and the element escape technique.

Han Cai had an affinity for space elements as a result of the celestial technique, so he wanted the system to create an escape technique that could not be blocked or stopped by anyone, including immortals.
