Rebirth of MC

After withdrawing all his money from the bank, Huo Zaiyuan immediately buys a train ticket and leaves S city. His destination is V city, because V city is the largest agricultural-orientated place amongst the twenty-six cities. Before he headed to the bank this morning, he already made plans to go there in order to purchase a large quantity of rice and barley, as well as fruits and vegetables. Although he has a lot of money right now, but it is very likely this amount is insufficient to get everything he wants or might need. Therefore, he cannot afford to spend carelessly.

On top of that, in order to avoid the "kind-hearted person" who issued that arrest warrant, he specially bought a train ticket for X city at the same time. This way, that person can dream of accurately tailing him to V city. By the time they realise he is in V city, they will not know his exact whereabouts.

The time it takes to travel from S city to V city is actually not too long. In three hours he reaches his destination. After disembarking from the train, he finds a nearby hotel to check in. Of course, it isn't to stay the night but rather so he can arrange the cash in his space.

Closing the door and sitting himself down on a chair, Huo Zaiyuan blinks and his surroundings changes, the bamboo house in his space appearing before him. And on the small bed, the pile of cash lies.

Although Huo Zaiyuan was accustomed to spending extravagantly in his previous life, but this is still the first time he is seeing so many notes. He is momentarily so emotionally moved that his body trembles. Reaching out to stroke a large wad of cash a few times before he calms down enough to get down to business.

Because of that damned warrant, he needs to find a room for his body while he enters his space to look over each note, checking if the bank left something on them to trace him with. The reason he is not worried he will leave a trail when he transferred the seven million into his space is due to his previous experiments. There is no signal within this space, so he doesn't have to worry about the bank tracking anything on the notes and locating him.

Checking over each note is a very tedious and tiring task, but in order not to get caught, Huo Zaiyuan is very patient as he inspects them. Just as he reached three million, sure enough, there is a piece of blank thing stuck on one of the notes. Lifting his eyebrows, Huo Zaiyuan takes that off.

As expected.

Discovering the first tracking device, he becomes more focused and thorough in his inspection. Who knows how long passed before he finishes checking the seven million. His back and waist are sore, and he found a total of five black strips. Looking at these strips, his pupils light up, thinking of an amusing matter, keeping the black strips with him.

Hmph, trying to track down his position, he will definitely let them play to their heart's content!

Busying for such a long time, Huo Zaiyuan feels hungry and so asks the hotel service for a pot of hot water before returning to his space. Within the pantry, he still has two packets of instant noodles, enough for two more meals. Putting the noodles to soak in the hot water and covering the pot, Huo Zaiyuan decides to read the ancient cultivation text again. After all, he has already booked the room for today. Since that's the case, he might as well not waste time.

Taking the book out of the brocade box, he flips to the page detailing the first level of the "Mysterious Nine Dragon's Heaven" method. Following the instructions, he takes out one peach seed and walks out of the house, selecting a dead branch from amongst the pile of firewood near the doorway. Then, he heads over to an empty and spacious location and follows the book's "Ninth Heavens Holy Dragon Formation" image depicted on the page to draw the array. It looks like a soaring dragon by the time Huo Zaiyuan completes it.

But, he doesn't really care about these things. Extending his hand, he places the seed on the eye and covers it with soil.

"Next, I need to fill a bamboo cup full of spring water from the "Holy Dragon Spring Pool". Half of it needs to be drunk and the other half to water the seed"Holy Dragon Spring Pool"? Where is that?" He has spent a relatively long time in this space but has yet to see a pool anywhere.

Just as Huo Zaiyuan mutters to himself, the small bamboo forest beside the house suddenly rustles in the absence of wind, letting out sha-sha noises, as if to remind him of something.

If this was the past, he would immediately suspect ghosts. Now, however, he understands instantly. It is evident the pool will be within the bamboo forest.

Returning to the house to retrieve the bamboo cup, Huo Zaiyuan enters the forest.

Passing through it, a clear pond appears before his eyes, expect there is no water within it. Next to the pond is an extraordinarily imposing, life-like dragon head sculpture. And from the dragon's mouth, drops of sparkling, translucent water drips down, each drop radiating faintly.

"This must be the spring water mentioned, right?"
