When they were younger, Yan Rui competed against the patriarch, Yan Xun, for the position of patriarch, but Yan Xun was more talented than Han Cai's great-grandfather, so Yan Rui had to settle for being a core elder in the family.
Yan Bo continued, "Let us end our session today. Everyone, go train in your courtyards, and do not slack off. I will check your progress tomorrow."
All the kids nodded and left, as did Han Cai.
Han Cai went back to his quarters and began cultivating seriously. This time he was not pretending as he did during training sessions with Grandfather.
When celestial Qi flowed through Celestial Plane 616 and moved into his body, the feeling was invigorating. Han Cai, who depended too much on the system, had never experienced this feeling of cultivation.
It felt as if every pore in his body was thirsty, and celestial Qi was water; his body and dantian kept absorbing celestial Qi rapidly. This feeling was very addictive; Han Cai felt as if he could continue doing it forever. This pleasure of cultivating was the silver lining brought about by the suffering he had to endure to remove the debts he owed.
While Han Cai was enjoying the pleasures of cultivating, Yan Bo had just arrived in front of his father's abode, and he had already informed the servant of the Rui household that he needed to meet his father urgently. Soon, Core elder Yan Rui asked Yan Bo to come inside.
When Yan Bo entered, his father was sitting on a cushion alone, reading some details related to the family business.
Core elder Yan Rui asked, "What happened to you? Why are you in such a hurry to meet with me today?"
The talent test was done just the day before, so not everyone was aware of the results yet, including Core elder Yan Rui.
Having a heavenly talent in the family was rare but not heaven-defying rare, so it was not the news that could break the peace of the Yan family.
Yan Bo replied, "Father, you are not aware, but one of my sons sired a Heaven-grade talent with a Heaven-grade physique and dual element affinity."
Yan Rui gave him a curious and surprised look and spoke, "Which two elements?"
Yan Bo replied, "Flame and Frigid. He has an affinity with both Yin and Yang."
Yan Rui gave a smile, "This is good. With frigid, he might be able to counter most of the flame technique cultivators of our continent."
Yan Rui thought for a while, then continued, "Boer, you make me proud. Tell me about this seed. Is the urgent message related to the seed?"
Yan Bo nodded and answered, "Father, we did the talent test yesterday. Today, I decided to train him personally. When he came in the morning, I gave him the family cultivation technique to cultivate. I thought in a year, he should make some progress, but he broke through to level one Qi Condensation in thirty minutes."
Yan Bo continued, "I have never trained a heaven-grade seed before, so I am not sure how to train him."
Hearing that Han Cai broke through in thirty minutes, even his great-grandfather was shocked. He spoke, "Bring the child to me."
Han Cai had just had a fulfilling meal. He was sitting in his abode, preparing to go back to cultivating.
The moment he entered the world of deep cultivation, there was a knock on his door, which irritated him. Han Cai still opened the door to find out that Zhen Long was at the door, and standing behind him was his grandfather Yan Bo.
Seeing Han Cai, his grandfather smiled and spoke, "Come with Grandpa; we are going to meet your great-grandfather."
Han Cai nodded and followed his grandfather.
His grandfather brought him to another carriage. They got in, and the carriage started moving. His grandfather made sure to stop the carriage to buy him some pastries before they reached his great-grandfather. Han Cai had no complaints about eating warm, sweet, fluffy pastries.
When they arrived at Yan Rui's household, Yan Bo took Han Cai directly to visit his father. When they entered the hall, Han Cai saw his great-grandfather sitting on a cushion, reading something. Seeing them enter, Great-Grandfather Yan Rui stopped his reading and motioned them to come and sit.
Yan Bo sat down on one cushion below the platform Yan Rui was sitting on, while Han Cai sat on another. Yan Rui gave Han Cai a deep look from head to toe and nodded.
Yan Rui spoke, "Come near, Grandpa; let me see your progress." Han Cai walked forward and stood in front of Yan Rui. Yan Rui held Han Cai's hand and sent a small amount of spirit Qi through Han Cai.
After checking Han Cai's cultivation, Yan Rui nodded and spoke, "Indeed, level one Qi condensation." Yan Rui was pleased, too; this was the best kind of seed he could hope that his family had.
Yan Rui spoke to Yan Bo, "Move Yan Kai to the Rui household. He will be training under me."
Yan Bo was surprised; his father was going to train his grandkid. His father had never trained any of his great-grandkids before. Nevertheless, Yan Bo was pleased - an Earth Immortal, his father training his grandkid - what more could he ask for?
Yan Rui had twenty-three sons, Yan Rui personally trained each of his children, but he never trained any grandchildren or great-grandchildren. He kept himself busy cultivating and handling core family matters. But today, his father made an exception for his grandkid.
Yan Rui spoke, "I understand your surprise, but none of my sons bore a heaven-grade talent, nor did their grandkids have one. Today, we have a seed and a chance to get one of our children to enter the Azure Dragon Sect."
Yan Bo understood why his father decided to teach Han Cai himself. He wanted his grandkid to enter the Azure Dragon Sect. Unlike Yin, where multiple sects were in the country ruled by the royal family, here, the Azure Dragon Sect ruled the kingdom. There was a royal family here too, but they were vassals of the Azure Dragon Sect.
There were many sects and martial schools too, but all of them abided by the rules of the Azure Dragon Sect. Hearing that his grandkid had a chance to enter the Azure Dragon Sect, Yan Bo became even more pleased.
