Setting Up Abode

Discovering that the total contribution was almost negligible, Han Cai felt a wave of disappointment.

Did this imply that he was to provide all the spirit stones? The elder had claimed that the residents would contribute some spirit disks towards the maintenance of the protective array. It seemed those words were merely to comfort him. Their assistance would hardly make a difference.

Internally, Han Cai grumbled about the elder but managed to voice a few words of assurance to the old man. He gauged the amount of spirit stones needed and compared it with the old man's estimate of their input. Han Cai then handed over five year's supply of spirit stones to the old man to uphold the defense array.

He informed the old man that, after five years, he could visit Han Cai's Immortal cave to collect the required spirit stones for the next five years. Disregarding the old man's continuous gratitude, Han Cai set off towards the northern part of the grassland area.
