Eroge: I can Travel To The Ancient World

35  Happy Cai Yunhai

While Jia Hao was walking down the street, his mind was occupied by the food he ate in the Hongxin Tower.

' The food is so bland. But it's because the cooking technology was limited here and there was a lack of sauces and spices.' Jia Hao mumbled. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

" Aha! Here, I finally found my gold mine!" Jia Hao suddenly clapped his palms as an idea flashed in his mind.

As he returned to the Cai Family estate, the guards bowed as they allowed him to go inside.

However, he suddenly saw Cai Yunhai talking with some members with a serious face. Seeing Jia Hao, Cai Yunhai sent them away as he looked at him.

" Not bad. Yixue has told me everything." Cai Yunhai nodded as he patted the shoulder of Jia Hao.

" Hmm? Not bad. You look more vigorous and powerful than before. Did the Crimson Vigor Pill work well?" Cai Yunhai smiled.

"En, It worked well, Uncle Cai." Jia Hao nodded with a smile.

" What uncle?" Cai Yunhai snorted. " Shouldn't you call me father in law?"

" Errm…Yes, Father in law."

Cai Yunhai grinned when he heard Jia Hao calling him that. " Come with me. I have something to show to you."

Jia Hao followed Cai Yunhai into the study room. Cai Yunhai carefully took out a few manuals as he passed them to Jia Hao.

" Our Cai Family is a military family. We have been serving as a powerful army and martial force for three centuries. Therefore, the accumulation of our martial arts is also high."

" I know you can never reach the Profound Awakening Stage. However, it's necessary for you to learn some self defence. Therefore, I have taken out some martial arts manuals for you."

Jia Hao was surprised when he saw the manuals. No matter how terrifying Cai Yunhai looks, it looks like he still has a soft spot for Jia Hao.

" Qi Sea Gathering Art, Gentle Flowing Breath, Rock Shattering Fist, and Lightly Ferry Steps?" Jia Hao was surprised when he took out the manuals. Flipping them, he could see that they weren't as shallow as the martial arts of Tianshu Nation Suddenly, thinking about something, Jia Hao also took out three booklets from his robe.

" Father in law, I have gotten these martial techniques. I wonder if these are useful?"

Cai Yunhai was surprised as he took the three booklets. Reading the Eight Trigram Palms, he shook his head.

" What are these? I can't understand the language." Cai Yunhai looked at Jia Hao and spoke.

" Ahh...Right. I apologize." Jia Hao facepalmed himself. After all, the original language of the Tianshu Nation would be incomprehensible to the Yunlan Continent people.

But there are also various drawings for example and Cai Yunhai could deduce a bit from them. After Jia Hai explained the first two techniques, Cai Yunhai nodded.

" This looks like the most basic form of Eight Trigram Great Palm Art. These moves are good for mortals who have never practiced."

" However, for practitioners, learning this technique is a waste of time."

" This…Wind Parting Sword Art?" Cai Yunhai's eyes squinted. " Not bad. This one contains a sword technique that is fast and deadly. This is good as a yellow grade technique."

" Yellow grade?" Jia Hao was surprised. " Are there different grades of techniques?"

" Of course." Cai Yunhai nodded.

 " There are five grades of martial arts. Iron grade, Yellow Grade, Xuan grade, Earth grade, and Heaven grade are the five divisions of martial arts."

" Each technique has four stages, Initial stage, Mid stage, Advanced stage, and Completion. When you reach the completion stage, that means you have mastered the technique completely."

" This technique is a peak Iron grade technique, touching the threshold of Yellow grade. If you can practice, it would be good."

" As for this…"

When Cai Yunhai opened the scroll of Hundred Army Battle Formation, his eyelid shrank.

" Although I can't understand anything…This feels like a book about army formations and tactics, right?"

" Yes, Father in law." Jia Hao took the scroll and casually spoke the lines that he felt were important.

Cai Yunhai's eyes became wider and wider as Jia Hai explained the basic concept of it.

" This…This is no regular technique." Cai Yunhai's breathing became haggard when he heard that.

" If we create an army squadron like this, the power of the squadron would be greater than three times that of normal soldiers."

" Not to mention, if every soldier uses a uniform martial art, the power of the army formation would increase by a lot." Cai Yunhai explained.

" Our Cai Family only has one Xuan grade military technique. And that's only a movement technique reserved for our elite soldiers."

" A complete technique like this? Perhaps only the Imperial Family of Yan Kingdom and Sun Family have them."

" However, This feels like…A peak Xuan grade or even a Earth grade technique for the army. I…"

Jia Hao could see the eagerness in Cai Yunhai's eyes. "Father-in-law, Do you want this?"

" Well, I would be lying if I said I don't want this." Cai Yunhai spoke.

" However, This is a very precious technique. I can't just take it from you because you married my daughter."

" Hehe, It looks like Father in law isn't a bad person at all." Jia Hao chuckled.

" Why? You thought I was a bad person earlier?" Cai Yunhai was speechless.

" Anyway, I can trade this technique with you. However, I require something."

" What is it?"

" Cores. Demonic beast cores." Jia Hao spoke. " I want high quality ones, which contain a lot of energy."

" Our family do have some. I will give to you." Cai Yunhai nodded. " However, you must translate the technique thoroughly. If there is any mistake in translation, it would be very bad for us."

" Very well, Father in law." Jia Hao nodded. But then, thinking about something, he looked at him again.

" Father in law, Have you tasted the Yellow Wave Wine of Hongxin Tower?"

" Yes, Why do you ask?" Cai Yunhai nodded.

" How did you feel about the wine?"

" It's very good." Cai Yunhai smiled. " However, It's not the best I had. They give a special wine every year at a high price. It's called Hundred Wave Wine, which is much stronger and flavorful."

" Then, I hope you can also taste this." Jia Hao smiled as he took out the bottle of whiskey."

" This…This is a polished glass bottle?" Cai Yunhai was stunned. " I have never seen a crystal this transparent."

" Really? You don't have mirrors?" Jia Hao asked in surprise.

" We do have glass mirrors. However, they don't like reflective as this one." Cai Yunhai admitted.

Jia Hao made another mental note while Cai Yunhai opened the cork. " Mm…This smells…"

" Shall I bring a cup-"

Before Jia Hao could finish his sentence, Cai Yunhai drank the entire bottle in a single breath.

" Hahaha! AHAHAHA!"

Cai Yunhai wiped his lips as he laughed out loud. " My, such distinct and flavorful wine. I have never tasted such wine before."

" To think after a long time, I can finally get drunk with wine." Cai Yunhai held Jia Hao tightly.

" Brat, You were hiding such a good thing for me? Hurry up and give me a dozen more bottles?"

" Father in law, I can't carry that much on me, can I?" Jia Hao was speechless. " But if you say, I can purchase more."

" Good! Very good!" Cai Yunhai nodded. " You must bring a lot this time. As for money…Hehe, I will pay."

" Old Yang? Old Yang!"

" Yes, Patriarch."

Old Yang appeared before Cai Yunhai. Cai Yunhai gave him a seal. " Take him to the storehouse and let him pick whatever he wants."

" Yes, Patriarch." Old Yang nodded as he guided Jia Hai to the warehouse.

Jia Hao took a breath of cold air as he followed Old Yang to an underground cellar. He could see various traps around the passage through his Sage's Divine Eyes.

Pressing the seal on the wall, a heavy door slowly opened. Jia Hao's eyes shone as he walked inside.

" Wow, you stored so many things here." Jia Hao looked around with amazement. From weapons to gold, various secret techniques, and even medicinal pills, he could see many things.

" Ah, there it is."

Walking to a place, Jia Hao opened a box and saw a few crystals glowing with a faint gleam.

Jia Hao picked all of them and threw them into the Pot of Miracle. However, after a while, the pot spat back the smaller ones out.

' Damn, What a picky bastard. Now, You only want to eat the high quality demon beast cores?' Jia Hao couldn't help but snort.

[ Ding! The energy quota has been met. Asking the host to prepare the blood and soul energy]

" ??? I beg your pardon?"

Jia Hao's expression changed when he saw that. " Now, I have to kill people and feed their corpses to you?"

" What the hell? Are you Pot of Miracles or Pot of Death?" Jia Hao almost cursed out. However, the Pot of Miracles remained silent, making Jia Hao angered even more.

' Fuck you!'

With a sigh, he turned around and looked at Old Yang. " I took what I wanted."

" You…You really took the four high grade demonic beast cores?" Old Yang was speechless.

" You know they cost over 100,000 taels of gold, right?"

" What?"
