Han Cai began the process of concocting High-grade Vitality pills. As usual, he failed at first, but he persisted. After a few months of trial and error, he was able to concoct a high-grade pill.
However, Han Cai decided not to tell the family about the pill. He was already standing out too much, and he did not need more hassle. So, he provided the family with three thousand medium-grade pills. He had become so proficient that he could concoct twice the number of medium-grade pills now, but he still kept supplying the family with only three thousand pills while he spent his time mastering the concoction of the remaining high-grade pills.
A year passed, and little Han Cai was eleven now. He had mastered many high-grade pills too. His ability did not awaken, but there was some improvement.
The Yan family stabilized its position as a supplier of medium-grade, high-potent pills. They used the pills as leverage and built many relationships, making the best use of the pills to stabilize their roots in the area around Verdant City.
eαglesnovel`c,om During the Spring Tournament, Han Cai did not have to participate anymore, as he was the number one talent of the family. The tournament was for talents to prove themselves, but Han Cai had already proven himself as a heaven-defying talent.
Three Nascent Soul elders of the family watched over Han Cai's courtyard to make sure that the Yan Family's Qilin child was protected.
After Spring came the Banquet of the Xu family, the Xu family threw a big banquet in Verdant City, celebrating the opening of their businesses in verdant city and acceptance of their family's Heaven-grade talent, Xu Qiaolian, into the Azure Dragon Sect.
The Yan family, being in-laws of the Xu family, had to visit the grand banquet. The patriarch brought Yan Pengfei, his parents, his grandparents, Han Cai, Yan Rui, and some core elders of the Yan family with him to Verdant City. The procession was large, and they left Yan City in luxurious carriages bearing many gifts.
The procession arrived at Verdant City without any hassle. They rented a large mansion for their stay during the banquet.
The banquet was supposed to be in two days, so Han Cai used his time to go meet Lan Xue and get more supplies for his alchemy, array, and talismans.
Two days later, the time of the banquet arrived, and the Yan Family members left the mansion for the banquet in luxurious carriages, carrying many gifts.
The Xu family had recently bought a big mansion in Verdant City just for this occasion. Now that their family member was going to be an outer sect disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect, they would automatically receive rights to own stores and businesses in major cities of the Azure Dragon Kingdom.
To own a business in cities such as Verdant City, one of the main requirements was that a member of the family had to be a member of the sect; then only would they get the rights to do business in major cities of the kingdom.
Now that the Xu family had a talent that was an outer sect disciple, they could officially begin to do business in Verdant City, just like the Hui, Pei, and Qi families.
Various cultivation families were invited to this grand banquet, which included the Ren Family, Ma Family, and many other cultivation families. The big three families of the Verdant area, which included the Hui, Pei, and Qi families, were also going to make an appearance. These families grew in power because they had family members who had entered the Azure Dragon Sect. Now the Xu family was going to join their fray, so they had to be quick and build a good relationship with the Xu family.
Han Cai was not very interested in grand banquets. The food was always good, but he had a history with grand banquets, which he did not like. He planned to keep quiet during the whole banquet and eat.
When they arrived at the Xu mansion, servants welcomed them and brought them to the big banquet hall. There were many families present already, and there was a lot of hustle and bustle around.
The Yan Family members sat in the designated location of the banquet, and guests kept on pouring in.
When the Ren family patriarch arrived, one could see the somber look on his face. His family was going through a very rough patch; they had been robbed, and even their family heirloom treasure was stolen. This affected their family business a lot, and the family was putting in a lot of effort to make ends meet, as they were very low on funds.
After the Ren family, the Ma family, the Guo family, and many other families arrived.
The last to arrive were the Hui, Qi, and Pei families. The young masters of the Hui and Qi families, Hu Lei and Qi Ming, also came with their families. Han Cai noticed both young masters were around the age of fourteen. The young lady Pei Yao, whom they both were trying to impress, also arrived. Han Cai could see both young masters looking at her as if she were a heaven-grade treasure.
When Han Cai saw Pei Yao, He felt good that he stole the flower from the young masters in an auction. Pei Yao was just an eleven-year-old child. He felt bad for kids of cultivation families. None of them had a normal childhood. No wonder most of the cultivators he met were half psychos. This world needed therapy.
After all the guests had arrived, the patriarch of the Xu family went and sat at the center seat of the banquet. Near him sat many members of the Xu family. Closest to him was a young thirteen-year-old girl who was none other than Xu Qiaolian, who had just returned from the sect after a year. She was the star of the show, the outer sect disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect.
Her fiancé, Yan Pengfei, was sitting quietly some distance from Han Cai.
Soon the banquet feast began. The patriarch of the Xu family spoke, "Today is a very auspicious day for us, the Xu clan, as we start new businesses in Verdant City. Our clan will be looking forward to your support. We also want to use this moment to celebrate the acceptance of Xu Qiaolian, my great-grandniece, into the Azure Dragon Sect. I hope everyone enjoys the banquet."
As the patriarch finished his speech, the guests applauded, and the banquet officially commenced. The atmosphere in the hall was lively, with people laughing, talking, and enjoying the delicious food and wine. Han Cai, as planned, quietly savored the delicacies in front of him, trying to keep a low profile.
