Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System-Novel



The room was silent as the elders from the Jade Lotus Dynasty, Lang Nation, Longyi Dynasty, and Shenwei Kingdom contemplated Elder Xue Liang's words. The thought of possessing a pill art that could dramatically enhance their sect's strength was enticing. But, the trust and history they shared with the Azure Dragon sect were not easily dismissed.

After a moment of silence, Elder Longyi Jinhai spoke up, "These are grave accusations you make against the Azure Dragon sect. If they are indeed true, it changes the dynamics greatly. But we must also be careful not to rush into any hasty decisions based on speculation. We need evidence."

The elders agreed. While the prospect of an art that could turn grass into pills that rivaled hundred-year-old ginseng was alluring, they needed more than the words of the White Tiger Sect to turn against their longtime ally.

The meeting ended with an agreement to investigate the allegations independently. They would reconvene to discuss their findings and decide their next course of action. All the elders knew the weight of their decision; it was not just their sects but the entire mortal world that would feel the ripple effect of this imminent war. It was not a decision to be made lightly.

Han Cai had returned to his life in seclusion, cultivating and concocting pills. As time passed, rumors about Spirit pills Hall had spread throughout the sect.

Many people were intrigued and sought out the Spirit Pill Department. Everyone one wanted spirit pills with high potency. Spirit pills were pills that could be consumed by anyone be it they are Qi condensation or Soul Formation. 

But when they came to visit blue mountains of spirit pill department.  To their surprise, what welcomed them was not the expected bustling mountain department but rather a mirage of an endless death desert. This startling Illusionary Array unnerved everyone who attempted to venture into the department, sparking a sense of fear.

At first, the unexpected display deterred many, but as the word spread, the Spirit Pill Department on the Blue Mountain was renamed the Desert Department. It had become an unconventional landmark and tourist destination for disciples.

Whenever they entered the Illusionary Array, they would spend a day in the death desert before being ejected. The thrill-seekers among the disciples saw this as an opportunity to face their fears, train their Dao hearts, or attempt to break through the illusion. The news of the Desert Department's unique characteristics reached the Inner sect and even the Core of the sect. Even disciples from the Inner sect began visiting, seeking their share of the thrill.

Han Cai found himself faced with a peculiar problem. He had created the Illusionary Array intending to deter intruders, but instead, it was having the opposite effect. He was forced to rely on Blacky to throw the unexpected visitors out of the array.

Meanwhile, in the luxurious heart of Fairy Lotus Abode, the Holy Daughter of the Azure Dragon Sect, Lan Yanmei, was seated at her grand table, crafted from a single piece of iridescent Spirit jade. Accompanying her were her friends Lan Yulan, Wei Biyu, and Bai Qian.

As Lan Yanmei sipped her Azure Lotus tea, she pondered, "What should we do next? Should we visit the Flower Floating Pagoda again?"

Wei Biyu interjected, "We have already visited the pagoda so many times. I have heard that there is something new in the sect which all the disciples are visiting."

The others perked up with curiosity, prompting Lan Yanmei to ask, "What is it?"

Wei Biyu explained, "I heard that the Outer sect's Alchemy Department, known for creating Spirit pills, has a new attraction. The department was gifted a beautiful blue mountain for their operations. But when disciples went to visit, they found a complex array that transported anyone who entered into a vast, deathly desert. It's said to test your Dao heart, and you must spend a day in the desert before you are allowed to leave."

Upon hearing this, Lan Yanmei sprang to her feet, "This is it! We are going to test our Dao hearts in this deathly desert."

With shared enthusiasm, the four of them immediately flew towards the Outer sect. News of the Holy Daughter's visit quickly spread, causing an uproar among the Outer sect disciples. 

When the  four women arrived, a large crowd of disciples was already present around the Blue Mountain, eagerly waiting their turn to test their Dao hearts.

Seeing the Holy Daughter arrive, their jaws dropped. Lan Yanmei's beauty had every disciple present utterly mesmerized.

Unlike the waiting disciples, the Holy Daughter and her friends didn't have to wait. They walked directly towards the array and entered, crowd parted to let Holy Daughter and her friends to enter.

Once inside, they were greeted by the vast deathly desert: endless grey sand, an ink-black sky, and an intense chill. At first, the sight was terrifying, but they eventually grew accustomed to it. They found a suitable sand dune, took out sitting cushions, placed them atop of the dune, and set up a fire in the middle to ward off the chill. They sat, taking in the ominous yet fascinating desert scenery.

Han Cai, in his abode, noticed new people entering the array. He didn't bother to check, but Blacky came and informed him that it was the fairy he had asked it to watch. Surprised, Han Cai left his concoction and flew towards the array.

In the illusion of the vast desert, the four girls were engaged in friendly chatter, enjoying themselves. Suddenly, Lan Yanmei, Wei Biyu, and Bai Qian disappeared one after the other, leaving Lan Yulan alone. She frowned, wondering if their sudden disappearance was part of the illusion.

She then heard a rustling sound and saw a young man approaching. Han Cai came over, sat on a cushion next to Lan Yulan, and simply stared at her. Lan Yulan stared at him wide eyed too for some reason.
