Han Yu spent several hours watching the people from afar, his mind going through various thods he could use to get in.
But no matter what he ca up with, it all seed inviable to him.
"Looks like attempting this alone is not possible. I’ll have to rely on so help," Han Yu concluded.
Thankfully for him, he had kept a helping hand nearby.
Thinking of this, he quickly picked up the high-grade communication jade slip and contacted the sole contact that was registered in it.
The ssage was sent instantly, and a minute later he received a response.
’I shall do as you instruct, Elder,’ was the reply.
Han Yu smiled and muttered, "Let’s see what you can co up with, ng Jueyan."
With that done, he left the area and went back into the forest. He stood there in silence, listening to the sound of rustling leaves as well as the cries of beasts that inhabited the forest. On his travel, he had co across a few beasts but had managed to kill them relatively easily, as they were just at the Qi Refining realm.
He patted the spatial storage bag with satisfaction, feeling quite content with it.
’I should take this chance to fill it up to the brim. I still got enough space left in it after storing the Bronze Tribe wolf corpses ng Jueyan hunted, as well as the other beasts I hunted on the way,’ Han Yu thought to himself. ’I should get quite a bit of bonus with this,’ he reckoned.
After all, he wasn’t restricted from storing more corpses. The only condition he had on borrowing the bag was to return it in its original condition. Though it also made him yearn for a spatial storage bag of his own even more.
In the stories of cultivators he had heard, a spatial storage treasure like a bag or ring was a staple. No cultivator would be complete without one. And while he did have enough rit points to get a spatial storage bag, he would end up spending all of them, which he could not afford, as he needed to save for the other materials he needed for the Undying Life Charm.
Not to ntion, the spatial storage bag he would get with it would be of the lowest grade and would only have enough space for a couple of weapons, so pills, and spirit stones. He might not even be able to store more than a single beast corpse in it if it were the size of a Bronze Tribe Wolf.
As Han Yu continued to think of this, he soon heard a set of footsteps.
They were clearly intended for him to sense, to make sure he didn’t mistake them for an enemy.
"That was quick," Han Yu said as he spotted the woman in a plain white mask.
"It is the order of the elder. I cannot waste any ti," ng Jueyan replied.
"That’s good. Elder Yi really picked soone competent. I wonder how many more people like us he has," Han Yu said, showing a look of wonder on his face.
"It is Elder Yi. He has an eye for talent," ng Jueyan replied in a plain tone. "So what is it that you needed help with? Elder Yi asked to go find you."
"You already know about the mining operation, right?" Han Yu said, pretending as if he weren’t the one who had instructed her in the first place.
ng Jueyan nodded.
"They’re intending to send the spirit stones to so elders of the Twin Leaf Peak Sect as well as so other prominent cultivators," ng Jueyan stated.
"Then you must know we cannot let that happen," Han Yu replied.
"If this is the wish of Elder Yi, then it will have to be," ng Jueyan stated without question.
"Then we need to find a way to get in," Han Yu replied.
"That will be difficult..." ng Jueyan’s brows furrowed under her mask. "The scouts have checked the formation and it is beyond sothing I can handle. I am not versed in formations enough to do it. From my estimates, it was set by a Core Condensation realm formation master at the very least," she added.
"Hmm, I did guess that," Han Yu replied. "But I have another thod..."
"What is it?" she asked, feeling curious.
"It’s a trump card Elder Yi gave , and it’ll be able to break the formation... or so I hope," Han Yu replied. "But doing that directly would definitely attract attention. As such, I need a distraction," he added.
"You want to draw the attention?" ng Jueyan questioned, feeling averse to it.
"No, no." Han Yu shook his head. "That will be too dangerous. Elder Yi said you’re valuable," he said, flattering the woman a bit.
"Then what do you propose?" ng Jueyan asked, her tone a bit softer than before.
A wisp of yellow energy drifted over to Han Yu, making him smile internally.
’So my silver tongue works on her too...’ Han Yu had done a little test to see how much of an enmity she had with him.
But it was clear that with Elder Yi’s warning, ng Jueyan had abandoned any thoughts of offending him.
"We’re in a forest. We have plenty of targets that can draw the attention for us," Han Yu spoke. "And I believe you’ll have a thod to do that?" he asked, knowing already that ng Jueyan—or rather, the Mist Eye Sect disciples—were decently versed with poisons and other substances.
"I can..." ng Jueyan said, understanding what the boy ant.
She put her hand in a small pouch by her side and took out a glass vial.
"This can work," she said.
"What is this?" Han Yu asked, looking at the vial. "Poison?"
"No. It’s Frenzy Vine Sap," ng Jueyan replied.
"What does it do?" Han Yu recalled hearing the na from Li i before but didn’t know its use. ’Does it make the consur go crazy or sothing?’ It sounded exactly like sothing Li i would use.
