C24 - The Man Named Bu An

"I'll take them," Yin Kai replied. Between his various businssses and sect contributions, he had made a little over 30K in sect points.

With this, his remaining balance was 38,482 sect points. Such a method was somewhat costly, but he was also able to procure his kukhri ahead of time, allowing him to practice.

As he was leaving, a commotion ocurred behind him. But by that time, he was already too far away.

As he returned to his house, he saw Bu An waiting for him. Bu An handed him a note.

After reading it, Yin Kai threw it into the fireplace. "Leave both pieces of evidence Make sure only the first is revealed."

The man vanished in place. After a few minutes, the man was back. "I have completed the task you assigned me."

"Good!" Yin Kai replied. "After elder Ke Tian finds the proof and sends elder Ji Ye to the Bone Binding Prison, allow the investigation team to find both proof of elder Ji Ye's further wrongdoing and that it was elder Ke Tian that fabricated the plot."

"Yes!" Cupping his hands, the man disappeared. Yin Kai cultivated while he waited.

This time, the man didn't reappear for several hours. When he finally did, Yin Kai asked, "Is if done?"

"The job is complete."

"Good, good. I have a third task for you."

"In the proceeding fallout, ensure that Punishment Elder Mo is made Acting Sect Master."

"Yes."

This time, Yin Kai waited several days. While cultivating, he made sure to keep an eye on the chickens.

'Come to think of it….' After a short while, he decided to contact his Senior Sister Su Ling. He left a note at her pavilion and returned to cultivate.

Su Ling came to visit the next day. After examining his intentions, Su Ling agreed to care for the chickens in exchange for a profit margin of 20%.

Both of them were quite happy with the deal, as Yin Kai's production value and rare breeds offered her more profit than the sect's pavilion could entail.

After they signed a contract, Bu An appeared. Thanking Su Ling, Yin Kai walked her out the door. "Bu An. What's the status?"

"The mission you gave me has been completed in full."

"Good! For your fourth mission, make sure that the Acting Head Master is able to properly clean up the sect."

As Bu An disappeared again, Yin Kai took the chance to walk around the sect. Such big news did not come lightly.

Along his trip, he confirmed his suspicions, and found a curious surprise. In 10 days, the sect would hold a gathering.

An ancient master had left an inheritance space inside a large cave in a mine outside the bazaar.

Several young cultivators managed to get in before being rejected. After some consideration, the three nearby sects and the three powers of the Holy Land decided to jointly explore the inheritance.

Martial Fist Temple had 100 slots. Accordingly, the slots would go to those with the highest cultivation.

But they could only go to those below 20 years old, as the inheritance had a restriction.

Yin Kai immediately went to the Elder Hall to declare his cultivation and sign up.

After signing up, he returned to his house and began to cultivate again. The next few days passed without incident or worry. After 8 days, Bu An returned.

"Bu An!"

"I have urgent business for you."

"In a few days I will be competing in a sect competition for an inheritance space. I need you to visit the southeastern islands. I plan to join the Alchemist Guild as an apprentice to one of their outstanding members."

"To do this, I need you to find and secure for me information on the masters who are looking for pill apprentices, as well as some decent pills to boost my soul strength."

"In addition, I need you to find the location of an island. The place I'm looking for is Moon-Shatter Island in the Star Sea."

"I look forward to your return."

"Yes!" This time, the man looked eager.

As the man left, Yin Kai began his preparations. In the Qi Fusion stage, one needed to be aware of their thoughts.

If a cultivator became too blurred in their thinking, they could lose their path and experience qi deviation.

One of the best ways to accomplish this was to avoid fighting and hone one's martial mind.
