After informing Han Cai about the family, Yan Rui took so breaths and continued speaking, "At present, including , our family has around twenty-four core elders. We have our own households, and our children have their own households. Soday, you will have your own household."
Han Cai mused in his mind, "I doubt that. I already have my own continent – not have, but almost had it." But he did not say anything and listened to his great-grandfather.
Yan Rui continued, "You have to participate in the clan tournants so that you can receive more resources. That's how resources are decided in our clan. The more resources you receive, the easier the cultivation journey will be for you until you go to join the sect."
Han Cai mused again silently, "I have more than a million dium-grade spirit stones in my storage. How many more resources could the family give ?"
Yan Rui continued, "So start preparing with the mindset that you will be participating in the tournants of the family. The two Heaven-grade talents are born from the lineage of two other core elders, so they will be your competition. They both have a fla affinity, so you need to work more on your frigid attack techniques. They both have reached level three of Qi condensation cultivation, even though they are older than you, so you are not far from them when it cos to cultivation. But they might be ahead of you in skills."
After learning about the Clan from his great-grandpa, Han Cai went back to his courtyard to focus on cultivating and practicing new techniques. A few days later, his great-grandfather inford him that the next clan's yearly tournant would take place in nine months.
Han Cai nodded in understanding.
As promised, Yan Rui would et Han Cai every week to help him with his cultivation. Yan Rui had now long realized that he wasn't of much help to Han Cai in freezing Qi cultivation due to his lack of understanding of how the cold Qis work. However, he was able to help Han Cai with his techniques and cultivation related to fla Qi.
He would encourage Han Cai and tell him stories about the clan.
Han Cai would reciprocate to entertain the old man, so Yan Rui would feel as if he was contributing to his growth. From ti to ti, Han Cai would ask random cultivation questions that were neither too difficult nor too simple, such as "How can I balance the flow of Qi between my ridians for maximum efficiency during cultivation?"
To which old man Rui would happily explain the process of it to Han Cai.
When alone in his courtyard, Han Cai would cultivate diligently. His affinity worked miracles, but his cultivation was still slower compared to his past life. Han Cai learned a few fla techniques, such as Scorching Chains and teor Strikes. He also made progress in two techniques he was mastering: Instant Freeze and Sword Blizzard Technique. Both Frigid Qi skills had reached level two. He could now summon four ice swords and freeze anyone within a 20-ter distance, given the cultivators were equal to or below his cultivation level.
Besides that, Han Cai spent ti practicing arrays. Even though his innate skills were dormant, the affinity was there. To awaken the dormant skill, Han Cai had to reach higher cultivation or practice continuously. He could already create normal defense arrays that could keep out Foundation Establishnt cultivators.
Ti continued to pass, and soon it was ti for his first clan tournant. Han Cai had nothing to worry about, but the sa could not be said for his great-grandfather, who was sweating buckets. Yan Rui planned to sit close to the tournant to protect Han Cai if any problems arose.
The day of the tournant was selected as the first day of spring. After the tournant, the top-ranking younger generation would receive special resources from the clan, such as spirit stones, elixirs, and cultivation manuals. The location for the tournant was settled on the main arena of the Yan family household.
The arena was large enough for all the mbers of the Yan family to visit and watch the battle between the younger generation. Most of the younger generation participating in the tournant were between the ages of eight to twelve, with Han Cai being the youngest at only seven.
The news of a third Heaven Grade talent being born in the clan was known by most people. Since Han Cai did not go out much, people didn't have much of an impression of the child. They only knew that the third Heaven Grade talent was born in the Rui household and had an affinity for frigid Qi.
A Heaven Grade talent being born in the clan was celebrated by many, but a few frowned as well. This included so who were not on friendly terms with Yan Rui, especially the two core elders whose lineage had given birth to the other two Heaven Grade talents.
When the day of the tournant arrived, Han Cai wore a crimson and white Yan Family robe and went with his great-grandfather to the arena. Upon their arrival, they noticed there was a lot of hustle and bustle in the arena. Many family elders and core elders had arrived.
Since Yan Rui was a core elder himself, he received a seat near the patriarch. The patriarch was not present for the younger ones' tournant today, but his seat was always kept at the center. Han Cai stood near his great-grandfather.
Many younger generation mbers were present. Han Cai did not count, but there were more than a thousand people. However, the participants in the tournant were not more than 17. The reason is, in this tournant, only Earth Grade or above talents were allowed to participate. Every year, the clan would have separate tournants for Mortal talents, but the talents participating today were the cream of the crop – future elders, core elders of the clan, and maybe even the future patriarch.
Because of this, many younger generation mbers were brought to watch the tournant. Han Cai's grandfather and father ca to see Han Cai participate, but they were seated away from the core section, where only core elders were allowed.
