Great Grandpa Rui had provided Han Cai with two cultivation techniques, one for Flame Qi and another for freezing Qi, but they both were lower-grade techniques than what Han Cai had, so Han Cai only pretended that he was cultivating those techniques while he cultivated the Celestial Ascension Cultivation Technique and converted it into frigid Qi and flame Qi with the Frigid World Cultivation Technique and another cultivation technique called Crimson Spirit Technique. He did not have to put extra effort into these two cultivation techniques as he was already cultivating far superior Qi and cultivation technique.
Yan Rui did not have frigid Qi-related fighting skill techniques, but he gave Han Cai fighting skill techniques for Flame Qi. But Han Cai was not lacking in fighting techniques for frigid Qi either because he had the portable grandpa, who was a prisoner of Yongnian, to help him there.
One day, Han Cai went to Great Grandpa's house. Great Grandpa was not present, so Han Cai sat down and started meditating on a technique he was trying to learn. This new technique was given to him by Portable Grandpa. It was called the Sword Blizzard Technique. It was his strongest technique, where one formed thousands of swords in the air to attack the enemy.
Since Han Cai had only mastered level one of this technique, so he could summon one sword right now and was trying to summon a second one.
The moment he tried the technique, a sword made of ice formed around him and started revolving around Han Cai. Han Cai continued meditating on the technique, trying to summon a second sword. Time passed, and slowly, a second sword was formed. Now, two swords revolved around Han Cai. This pleased Han Cai a lot. He had mastered the complete first level of the Sword Blizzard Technique.
In his last life, all the techniques came through cheats; there was no hard work involved, so when he used the skills, it was like money received from his parents, not his hard-earned money. Han Cai did not understand the value of achieving something in cultivation through one's hard work.
But now he had to work for it. He realized how fulfilling it was when you practiced and succeeded in something. He had to work on the techniques day and night to improve them. It was a lot of work for lazy Han Cai, but the euphoria he felt after doing the work and achieving a result was unparalleled.
Han Cai opened his eyes with two swords revolving around him. He noticed his Great grandfather standing at the door, watching him practice the technique. Han Cai unsummoned the technique, as the Qi in his dantian had almost depleted anyways.
Yan Rui asked, "Where did you learn this technique?"
Han Cai answered honestly, "There were a few more techniques in the Jade that you gave me, Great Grandpa. This is one of them."
Great Grandpa Rui nodded and said, "It is a very good offensive technique. Can you summon more swords?"
Han Cai nodded, "Yes when I achieve a higher level in the technique, I can summon hundreds of them."
Yan Rui was surprised and said, "That's a formidable technique. You will need it; most of the people you will meet will have a flame affinity, so you are a direct counter to them, and they are a direct counter to your frigid techniques, but you have a flame to support you too, so you will always have an edge with whoever you competed."
Han Cai nodded.
Great-grandpa Rui came inside the hall and sat on his cushion, looking at Han Cai for a while. It would be an understatement to say he was pleased with this great-grandson of his.
Yan Rui explained, "Usually, we don't allow children as young as six to participate in clan tournaments. Participants must be at least eight years old and no older than twelve. This is to give them an opportunity to join a respectable sect by the age of twelve. However, since your talent is exceptional and your aim is not just to join any sect, but specifically the Azure Dragon Sect, we'll make an exception for you."
Han Cai nodded, showing that he understood what his great-grandpa was saying.
Yan Rui continued, "But luckily for our clan, two more Heaven-grade talents were born in our clan besides you in the period of last five years. So you will be competing with your cousin brother and sister to join the Azure Dragon Sect."
Han Cai listened quietly.
Yan Rui continued, "It is time that you understand the history of our family. Our ancestor was the founder of Yan City and the Yan family. He was a farmer's son. With some lucky chances, he became a talented cultivator. He went to the Azure Dragon sect, took the outer sect test, and became the outer sect disciple of the Azure Dragon sect. Later He became an elder in the Azure Dragon Sect. After serving the sect for a thousand years, he left the sect to start his own cultivation family, as his cultivation was not growing anymore. He had grand ambitions; he wanted our family to become the biggest cultivation family that could even rival the sect someday – a son of a farmer that could rival the grand sect. That was his dream.
The truth was he had suffered a lot in his journey to become a cultivator, which led to a lot of inner demons, and he could not pursue the path of cultivation peacefully. The Yan family ancestor that everyone shows reverence to was my grandfather too. My grandfather had three children, and those children had multiple children, including me. So, you can say I am the third generation of our Yan family, while you are the sixth. As time passed, our family flourished, but as the family flourished, the number of members kept growing. With the growth in the number of family members, there was a lot of strain on resources. Because of this, our family started to participate in many cultivation trades and businesses to meet the demands. Still, our family is doing relatively better compared to many families. We have around twenty-six thousand family members, while more than thirty thousand outer members. "
