Yasuo thought about which one to buy for a few minutes before finally deciding on a decision. "I'll take the Library of Forbidden Arts and place it on the other side of the chamber of Spirit and Time at the edge of the holy land."
Suddenly, all his points returned to zero, and the library emerged at the edge of the Holy Land. Surprisingly, it mirrored the appearance of the Chamber of Spirit and Time. However, instead of a typical white chamber, this one was black.
"Simple is best. The system truly doesn't care about fancy decorations; it only cares about quality." He was satisfied as he gazed at the black chamber. This provided him with additional income without restraint on how many cultivators could enter at a time.
To make matters even better, Yasuo chose the library over the elemental chamber primarily because he also wanted to practice those forbidden arts!
As he contemplated the ability to learn various martial arts of forbidden origins without restraint, he couldn't help but ask a question.
'System, if anyone visits the Holy Land and I'm not there, will I get a notification or be teleported instantly?' This information was crucial; he didn't want to suddenly disappear while training outside.
"Concerning the host's question, you will be notified, but you can decide on whether to show up or not. The host may also hire someone to work full time on his holy land in case he has matters to take care of outside and can't attend to his clients.
Yasuo exhaled in relief and observed what it said; he then casually checked his nearly full dantian and teleported out of the holy land, appearing in the hotel room where Richard had left him.
Subsequently, he notified Richard that he was ready to take the lessons from him and waited.
Richard had told him many times about taking him under his wing, and Yasuo wasn't opposed to it. He didn't care about the resources since he knew they wouldn't be significant at first, but he cared about the old man's connections in case he ran into any trouble.
In the next moment, Richard messaged him back," You will have to wait for a day or so before I pick you up. An urgent matter has come up. For now, use the herb I got you. It will most likely allow you to reach the fourth layer of qi condensation with your talent. You can also look for a cultivation technique online, and with your funds, it will be no problem finding one that gets you to the foundation establishment realm's peak with ease."
Yasuo read through the message and then tossed the phone away,' Too much trouble, too many restrictions. This is too boring.'
He took out the box that Richard gave him and retrieved the tier four herb, worry-free grass. This herb aids in cultivation, with each leaf providing three months of cultivation for anyone below the foundation establishment realm.
'The old man thinks I can only reach the 4th layer with this?' Yasuo smirked as he teleported into his holy land the next moment, hopped on top of the black rock, and sat cross-legged as he closed his eyes, ready to cultivate.
Bam!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
However, right before he even ate a leave, he heard several loud booms echoing as an ethereal black door materialized in the next second, and six people with a dragon that could barely fit through the door sped towards him at their highest speed, their expressions horrified, and clothes were torn apart.
'Finally, a lot of clients,' Yasuo rejoiced inwardly,' With this, I'll be able to finish the quest and even earn a fortune to buy several things I need. I might not even need earth at all!'
He couldn't help but admire his cleverness for auctioning the holy land door before taking any other action; he felt he would have missed a great opportunity if he had merely dropped his doors in the streets without thought.
"Sir Absolute! I'm a client. I'll rent whatever is available. Just save me!" Luke beat everyone and yelled aloud first, but even then, he kept running, afraid that a random attack might obliterate him into smithereens.
Yasuo clapped his hands, and all six people and their dragon were bound, unable to speak, and teleported in front of him while the dragon's size was forcefully reduced to three meters.
As Yasuo was about to speak and reassure them that nothing could harm them inside his place, the chilling old voice of the system echoed in his head.
Quest: Receive three clients that pay to use your facilities.
Quest update: Completed!
Rewards currently calculating: Rewards calculating...Rewards...
Error...Error....Error
'Huh? Why would it show error?' Yasuo didn't wait for long before he got his answer.
SSS Quest: Detected that the host's potential clients will die if he doesn't do anything about it!
Mission: Save your potential clients without using force to intimidate them.
Rewards: A two-way trip to a random world and 10.000 points.
This sudden quest and its rewards dumbfounded Yasuo; he felt the system was too generous with him.
Logically speaking, such a mission would be problematic if it were anywhere outside of his holy land, but this wasn't anywhere outside!
Yasuo believed that with a few words, he could accomplish this mission.
Although he didn't know what's the train of thought of the absolute relic, Yasuo didn't mind obtaining free rewards out of nowhere.
He instantly teleported and stood before the gate, patiently waiting. Within seconds, a man towering two meters in black and red armor appeared before him. In his hands was an axe twice Yasuo's size, and resting on his shoulder was a small bird with its eyes closed.
'What a duo,' Yasuo thought before saying," Welcome guest to the holy land of cultivators. Here, we have several facilities that could elevate your strength to a whole new level and deepen your understanding of reality so that you might even think you have been living in a dream this entire time."
"Absolute, that man is deaf, and his only purpose is obeying his master. Only force works on him."
'Shit,' Yasuo cursed, his chest tightening and mind running at first speed,' Why did you take ages to inform me about it?'
Before he could even consider whether to abandon the mission, everything darkened above Yasuo as the man thrust his axe in a vertical motion toward him.
"Die ant."
