After that, poison cases started to reduce. One or two cases still happened, but the victims informed the elders in their household in advance. The elders informed the core elders and a few culprits were caught. It was an internal feud between families; the poison they used was not Hushroot Blossom. Still, the patriarch banished the culprits from the family.
After the punishment, poison incidents were reduced significantly. Poison attempts on Han Cai disappeared too.
Time passed, and Han Cai was nine years old now. The springtime tournament happened again. Han Cai, who was a level eight Qi condensation cultivator, wiped the floor with his competition. His frigid skills and flame skills were still at level 3. From level three to level four was a qualitative jump in the skills, so they needed time. Han Cai felt that if he needed to reach level four, he might need to reach the foundation establishment first.
His connection with Celestial Plane 616 strengthened, and the more it strengthened, the faster his cultivation grew. Han Cai believed the best thing he could do before shifting to a new life was to increase his spatial affinity and make it his innate ability.
Now, the whole Yan family had accepted that Han Cai was the top talent of the Yan Clan when it came to talents below the age of twelve. While everyone in Rui's family was proud, many other households were jealous, but they all knew this was one of the top future core elders of Yan family. Even the patriarch of the family paid special attention to Han Cai. He was an official future pillar of the family.
Han Cai had no time to care what other thoughts he kept working on his growth. He already had some mastery in arrays theory and talismans theory, which he did in his spare time. Now, as a nine-year-old, Han Cai decided it was time he began with alchemy too.
He needed pills. As this time, he wanted to do everything on his own without getting help from the system as much as possible. That's why he became a grandmaster in all three before making them his innate ability.
Han Cai went to his great-grandpa and said, "Grandpa, I want to try alchemy. So I will be going to the market to get some materials."
Yan Rui shook his head and said, "If you really want to learn alchemy, we will need to go to Verdant City; they are known for herbs and alchemy. Wait for a month, and I will take you."
Han Cai shook his head, "Grandpa, it's okay. I will go myself."
Yan Rui was not ready to allow Han Cai to leave alone, but Han Cai persisted.
Eventually, Yan Rui gave in. Han Cai had always been an obedient child who never made any demands, and this was the first time he had been so persistent about something. Yan Rui decided to let Han Cai follow his wish. He wasn't surprised that Han Cai wanted to try alchemy, as he had seen him diligently reading alchemy books at home. If Han Cai could learn alchemy, it would benefit the entire Yan family. Yan Rui didn't try to stop him, especially since Han Cai's cultivation growth hadn't been hindered by his interest in alchemy, arrays, or talismans.
But Yan Rui made Han Cai take many Foundation Establishment level guards from the family. Also, Two elders of golden core and one elder of the Nascent Soul level were selected to go with Han Cai to Verdant City.
As they prepared for the journey, Han Cai's great-grandpa Yan Rui gave him a stern warning, "Be careful and stay close to the guards and the elders. Do not take any unnecessary risks."
Han Cai nodded in agreement and reassured his great-grandpa, "Don't worry, Grandpa. I'll be cautious and won't take any risks."
Verdant City was around two thousand miles from Yan City, which sounded very far, but with strong horses and beasts, the journey wouldn't take more than three weeks. However, since Han Cai was planning to travel in a luxurious carriage of the Yan family, this journey might take longer than usual.
A few days later, Han Cai, along with Zhen Long, a few Foundation Establishment level guards, two golden core, and a Nascent Soul elder named Yan Fucheng, left the Rui Household to go to Verdant City. When Han Cai left Yan City, he was surprised by the level of greenery this continent had. Daxing was a cold continent, and there were trees and greenery in Daxing too, but it was nothing compared to the beauty of the greenery the forests in this continent had.
Their journey was smooth for the first week, covering more than seven hundred miles. The horses everyone was riding on and the horses that pulled the carriage were spirit beasts, specially nurtured by the Yan family for the use of clan members. They were very fast and agile, covering more than a hundred miles just in a day.
After a week into their journey, they stopped by a town called Willow Town. This town had a population of around six thousand people. When the procession was close to Willow Town, Elder Yan Fucheng went ahead and booked an inn, especially for them. Han Cai was the young master of the Yan family, one of the most talented ones at that. The clan was going to make sure he received all the comfort he wanted.
When the procession entered the town, everyone looked at the massive horses and luxurious carriage. They understood some big shot of the city was traveling in the carriage. The carriage stopped in front of Willow Inn, the best inn in the town. Han Cai got down from the carriage and went into the inn. The elder had made the people clear the inn just for Han Cai.
