The grandfather said, "I have sired seven kids. None of the seven disappointed me, giving us good seeds, but today's occasion is very special to the family because Yan Huan not only gave our household an Earth-grade talent but also sired a Heaven-grade talent."
The grandfather continued, "We must make sure to nurture our younger generation. The more they grow, the better they will be. I don't need to explain that the better our young talented members perform in the clan, the better our family's treatment by the clan, and the more resources we will receive from the clan. So, let us celebrate today."
With the grandfather's speech, the feast began. Unlike Daxing, where the seasons were cold, the Vermilion Phoenix Continent was in a warm temperate zone.
Life thrived here, so the food came in many varieties. The food quality wasn't as if it was a royal family feast, but it was not bad either. Han Cai enjoyed the food wholeheartedly.
Suddenly, their grandfather spoke to Han Cai's father, "From tomorrow on, send them both to my courtyard. I will be training them in cultivation personally."
Hearing their grandfather's words, Han Cai's mother gave a wide smile. While other family members nodded, Han Cai's grandfather would train the talented young seeds himself – that was another tradition. Han Cai being a Heaven-grade talent, it was obvious that the grandfather would train him.
The family celebrated the two new talents, and the banquet came to an end late at night. Everyone returned, and Han Cai went back to his quarters and went back to cultivating diligently.
Tomorrow, he planned to shock his grandpa by reaching level one Qi condensation in a day. Han Cai did not have enough Qi to use ethereal invisibility, so he had used a talisman that he had created in his last life through the system to hide his cultivation.
The next day, when morning came, there was a knock on Han Cai's door. Han Cai opened the door to see his mother.
His mother told him, "From today on, you will be training with your grandfather. Cultivate diligently."
Han Cai nodded and followed Zhen Long to his grandfather's courtyard.
They arrived at the main hall of the grandfather's courtyard, and Han Cai entered while Zhen Long stood outside.
The hall was mostly empty, and there were cushions on the floor. Han Cai saw some of his cousins sitting on the cushions. There was a cushion placed in the center where his grandfather was sitting. When his grandfather saw Han Cai, he gave a wide smile and motioned for Han Cai to come and sit right in front of him.
Han Cai nodded, moved forward, and sat on the cushion right in front of his grandfather. Soon, Han Cai's other brothers and cousins arrived too. All of them were mortal-grade talents. All the cushions were filled with his brothers; there were around nine young seeds sitting in the hall ready to receive guidance from grandfather Yan Bo.
Yan Bo made Yan Che sit in front of him too, just like Han Cai. Han Cai thought that if all these nine became strong nascent soul cultivators, the Yan Bo household would be a force to be reckoned with.
But the truth was, even with Earth-grade talent, rarely would all reach the Earth Immortal level, let alone with mortal-grade talents. Some would die in different struggles, be it in the family or the sect they joined, while some would not be able to get enough resources for one reason or another. It would be rare if, out of the nine here, even two reached the nascent soul stage.
When everyone arrived, their grandfather turned to Han Cai and his brother and said, "Today, you will be learning the Yan family's special cultivation technique."
Their grandfather took out two parchments. The parchments had the name – Yan Family Spirit Flow Technique – written on them, and there were images on the parchments of how to make Qi flow through your body to the dantian.
Their grandfather also took out two lower-grade spirit stones, gave them to Han Cai and Yan Che, and said, "Hold the stone in your hand, try to absorb the Qi in the stone, and follow the image in the parchment. Try to make the Qi reach your dantian."
Han Cai and Yan Che nodded. They took the stone, looked carefully at the parchment, then closed their eyes and tried to absorb the Qi in the spirit stone, attempting to move it through their dantian. Yan Che was actually trying, while Han Cai was pretending. Their grandfather waited patiently.
Thirty minutes passed, and both Han Cai and Yan Che kept trying. Their grandfather was about to start guiding the other younger generation, but suddenly he felt something.
He turned to Han Cai in surprise, his eyes widened. In front of him, this young grandson of his had broken through to level one of the Qi Condensation realm.
Removing the effect of the talisman did not cost much to the system, so Han Cai could still use it for these minor things.
His grandfather stayed wide-eyed for a while before a big smile appeared on his face.
Han Cai opened his eyes, and the spirit stone in his hand had turned to dust. Han Cai gave an innocent look to his grandfather, pretending he was not sure what was going on.
Han Cai's grandfather stayed speechless for a while before he coughed and said, "Great job, Yan Kai! You are a cultivator now."
Yan Bo had no words to explain this; he had never trained a Heaven-grade talent before, so he was not sure how to react to such a situation. He decided to consult his father about this. Yan Bo's father, Yan Rui, was an experienced cultivator and had seen many talents grow in front of him. Yan Bo was sure his father would give right guidance when it came to how to train a heaven-grade talent.
