Seeing how Yan Rui trained his household's seed to such a level that he got accepted in the Azure dragon sect.
Now, most of the core elders had decided that if a heaven-grade talent was ever born in their household, they would seek guidance from Yan Rui.
While Yan Rui and his sons were engrossed in reading, they suddenly sensed something outside the hall. Yan Rui glanced at one of his sons, who stood up to investigate.
Outside, he found a household guard who had brought a letter. The son took the letter, which bore the seal of the Azure Dragon Sect, and brought it to Yan Rui. His eyes widened at the sight of the seal.
He quickly handed the letter over to Yan Rui, who opened it and read its contents. While reading the letter, Yan Rui's eyes widened momentarily. He then rose to his feet and flew towards the main family hall.
Soon, Yan Rui was seated with the Patriarch, who was carefully reading a letter in his hand. After the Patriarch finished reading, Yan Rui confirmed, "It is not fake, as the letter has the stamp of the elder of the Azure Dragon Sect."
The Patriarch smiled, "He is so talented, so obviously, the elder would appreciate him. Since the elder wants to help his clan by investing in us, I guess we can trade the pills in the Verdant Area."
They both had reason to be happy. The letter was from the Azure Dragon Sect, specifically from Han Cai. It informed them that Elder Du was very pleased with Han Cai's talent, and when Han Cai requested the elder to support his clan. The elder agreed and decided to help Han Cai's clan.
The letter requested that the family send a few members to set up a store in Sapphire Fang City and other cities.
The elder would be supplying medium-grade pills, high-grade pills, and fasting pills for the clan to trade. The earnings from these profits would be divided in two. Half the profit would go to Elder Du, while the other half would be kept by the clan. This was Elder Du's way of supporting the clan of the talented individual he had taken under his wing.
The letter also mentioned that the elder was sending some funds to help them out.
While Yan Rui and the Patriarch were in discussion, Blacky appeared some distance away from the Yan main household. He transformed into Shu Tao and approached the Yan main household. Every subordinate of Han Cai had his legendary skills, including transformation, except for Han Cai, whose legendary skills had become dormant.
When Shu Tao arrived in front of the Yan main household, a guard approached and asked for his identity. Shu Tao did not speak. Instead, he took out the Azure Dragon Sect medallion and handed it to the guard. Seeing the medallion, the guard hurriedly went to inform the Patriarch that someone from the Azure Dragon Sect had come to visit.
The Patriarch and Yan Rui quickly came out to welcome him, but Shu Tao did not enter the household. He waved his hand, revealing an earth-grade storage ring, and threw it at Yan Rui. Without saying a word, he turned around and left.
Yan Rui caught the storage ring and sent his spirit Qi inside. There were five million medium-grade spirit stones in the ring and more than ten million lower-grade spirit stones.
Yan Rui handed the ring to the Patriarch, who was momentarily shocked. Yan Rui and the Patriarch were taken aback. They were astounded that Han Cai was so talented that the elder would send someone from the sect to deliver letters and spirit stones. What surprised them even more, was the earth-grade ring and the five million medium-grade spirit stones. This elder of the Alchemy Hall must be incredibly wealthy. It was a stroke of luck for their clan that the elder was investing in their family due to the talented seed the family had provided.
In the following days, the Yan Clan prepared more spirit stones to buy properties in several more cities within the Azure Dragon Kingdom. Most of the properties were near or within Verdant City, while some were in proximity to the Azure Dragon Sect, as suggested by Elder Du. Since an elder had come forward to help them, they had to take these things seriously.
The preparations were elaborate, involving a multitude of tasks, from surveying potential properties and negotiating prices to setting up the necessary paperwork for the transactions. The members of the Yan Clan worked tirelessly, their spirits fueled by the extraordinary opportunity that had been presented to them.
Simultaneously, Yan Rui and the Patriarch were in frequent communication, discussing and strategizing on how best to utilize the spirit stones they had been given. They understood that the elder's gesture was a rare opportunity, and they were determined to make the most of it. Their plans were meticulous and detailed, covering every aspect of the business. This was the future of their clan.
First, Han Cai had contemplated utilizing only merchants to sell his pills, but he realized this wouldn't suffice when he had his own clan that could assist him. He had plans to produce a large number of pills until his grandmaster alchemist ability awoke, and his clan could help him distribute these effectively, and they will earn some income too. He might be a scoundrel, but he never turned back on people who supported him. He used the elder's name so the clan would pay back half of the profits, which he could use for his resources.
When it came to procuring resources for the pills, the sect provided two options. You could either use spirit stones to purchase from the sect or accumulate sect points by undertaking sect missions. Han Cai was going to need a considerable amount of resources from the Pill Hall, but he wasn't planning on spending his saved money. Instead, he resolved to use the practice pills to earn spirit stones and then use those spirit stones to buy more resources to concoct more pills, thereby continuously enhancing his alchemy skills. Once his alchemy skill was awakened, he would begin creating the Awakening Pill. Hopefully, the pill should help him awaken his abilities.
After carrying out his duties, Blacky returned to sit on Han Cai's shoulders.
