Han Cai gazed at the grazing colossal bison in the distance, circling around the herd twice on Blacky before finally deciding to approach.
Those herding the bison had seen Han Cai approaching. With a few loud calls, a crowd of over three hundred gathered, filling the entire breadth of the herd.
Once these people saw Han Cai on the large black raven, they knew it was a spirit beast, and they revealed reverence and started to bow and salute Han Cai.
While Han Cai was amazed by the display, a luxuriously dressed middle-aged man stepped forward from the crowd and nervously said something. He stood by helplessly, as if waiting for Han Cai's command.
Han Cai did not understand their language. With Azure Dragon Country he did not have to worry about language barrier because he was born there so learnt the language fast. He wasn't able to understand or make sense of a single word of their language. The question of how to communicate with them gave him a headache.
Seeing that Han Cai didn't reply, the middle-aged man grew panicked and urgently said something. Although Han Cai didn't understand what he said, he was able to guess what he meant.
After some thought, he spoke out in the common tongue used by cultivators, "If there is anyone here that can understand my words, please tell me!" Han Cai then swept his gaze across the crowd.
The middle-aged man appeared at a loss. It was quite obvious that he didn't understand what Han Cai had said. As for the others, they were also left baffled.
Han Cai helplessly sighed and started to use words from several different languages he knew from Daixing, cycling through them one by one. He had learned these languages randomly when his intelligence was at a really high level. With just one look, he had mastered each language.
Han Cai saw a reaction from an old man when he used one of the languages.
"Old man, do you understand my words?" Han Cai slowly spoke using one of the languages. As he didn't use the language often, he was very unfamiliar with it.
When the old man heard Han Cai, he hesitated for a moment before walking to the side of the middle-aged man. Also using the language, he respectfully replied, "This old man, Liu Baihe, indeed learned this Immortal Clan's language when he was young. Does this Immortal Master have any commands?"
Han Cai revealed a slight smile upon seeing that the old man understood the language. His figure suddenly flashed, and he appeared beside the old man, startling both the old and middle-aged man.
Han Cai spoke with a gentle tone, "As you well know, I am not able to speak the local tongue. I only passed by here to ask about a few matters. There is no need to panic!"
He had previously swept through the massive herd and found that only mortals were present. Because he found no cultivators, he was able to approach without worry.
Han Cai didn't pay attention to the mutterings of the old and middle-aged man. Instead, he beckoned to Blacky in the sky, blacky flew away carrying Yongnian.
After this was done, Han Cai took a sideways glance.
Although the mortals on the wagon saw this, they didn't appear shocked at all and maintained their original reverent expression. They were clearly accustomed to seeing cultivators and their beasts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have appeared nearly as calm. Also, since these people didn't seem to come from particularly exceptional backgrounds, it appeared that it wasn't taboo for the cultivators of this land to reveal themselves to mortals.
Currently, the old man had translated Han Cai's words for the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man was initially shocked before revealing a look of pleasant surprise. He then said a long string of unintelligible words towards Han Cai with an extremely excited expression.
Han Cai felt at a loss and couldn't help but turn his gaze towards the old man.
The old man naturally understood what Han Cai meant. He quickly gave Han Cai an explanation, "Great Immortal, this man is Lord Zhu, the master of this caravan. He intends to invite you to reside as a guest at his residence on the Robust Bison Plateau. He is willing to supply the resources for your cultivation."
"Robust Bison Plateau?" Han Cai rubbed his chin and gave a noncommittal response.
Seeing that Han Cai wore an indifferent expression, the middle-aged man became even more fervent and uttered another long string of words. This time, he revealed an apologetic smile. Han Cai didn't need the old man's translation to understand why he wanted to invite Han Cai to stay on the Robust Bison Plateau.
Without waiting for the old man to translate, Han Cai bluntly waved his hand and said, "First, tell this caravan's master that I am new to this noble land and am unfamiliar with the local conventions.
Consequently, I am not able to agree to anything. I will decide whether I want to stay on his Robust Bison Plateau after I am given an explanation. Also, I currently do not understand your language. I hope he will allow me to follow this caravan for a few days so that I may learn the local language and a few local conventions from you in passing."
Not daring to slight Han Cai, the old man hurriedly gave the middle-aged man a translation.
When the middle-aged man heard Han Cai, he revealed obvious disappointment. But still, he respectfully saluted Han Cai and loudly yelled a few words behind him. Suddenly, everyone at the front of the wagon withdrew like a swarm of bees. After giving the old man his reply, he also withdrew.
As such, only Han Cai and the old man remained at the wagon's head.
The old man smiled at Han Cai and said, "Immortal Master, Lord Zhu has agreed to your request. In addition, he has given you a luxury wagon. Please follow me."
Han Cai agreed, indifferently nodding his head. As such, He followed the old man, Liu Baihe, into the wagon.
They passed through many wagons. Whenever a mortal saw Han Cai, they revealed reverent expressions and made way for him.
After passing through various wagons, He arrived at a comparatively large one.
Liu Baihe pushed open the door of the wagon without any hesitation and stepped to the side, inviting Han Cai to enter first. Han Cai didn't bother being polite and entered the wagon taking a look around afterwards.
The inside of the wagon was quite decent! Not only was it large, but it also didn't feel stuffy at all.
