Chapter 185 Yan Family

 

Han Cai brought the space and frigid elements affinity from his last life while the flame affinity he received from the present family. He had also saved ten million medium-grade stones from twenty that he earned in the auction so he does not start poor in this life.

Han Cai had decided not to rely on the system for a long time, at least until he could find a loophole to eliminate the debt he would incur whenever he used the system. This debt would only arise when he used the equal exchange function, and he had already paid for his past exchanges through immense suffering. Every drop of river water that touched his soul felt like millions of knives stabbing him at once, causing him unimaginable pain.

This harrowing experience left a deep trauma in Han Cai's heart, and he wasn't ready to face such agony again. At times, he even considered ordering Yongnian to abandon his soul in the underworld. No matter how well-prepared one might be, the pain of the soul would be unbearable even for deities, he was sure.

The body Han Cai had acquired in this life was perfect for cultivation since he had already brought along his frigid and spatial affinities. He felt ready to cultivate in this life even if he did not have any fire-related techniques.

Han Cai planned to depend on himself more. He wanted to avoid situations where he might have to seal Immortals or alter the destiny of the continent. Because to Handle such situations, he would require the system.

As time passed, Han Cai grew up in the Yan family, cared for by maids during his early years. His mother was with him for the first few months, after which the maids took over most of his care. His father visited him only when he intended to cultivate Yin and Yang with his mother.

Han Cai had no complaints, as this arrangement provided him with ample time to be alone and cultivate. By the second year since his birth, he reached Qi Condensation Level One, and by the third year, he advanced to Qi Condensation Level Two. Han Cai practiced the Celestial Ascension Technique. This time, because he had an affinity with element cultivation, the cultivation was smoother. Han Cai used the talismans he brought from his last life to hide his cultivation so no one would notice.

He would also cultivate a technique called the frigid world technique for his frigid affinity.  Han Cai did not plan to disclose his spatial affinity in this life either. This continent was relatively warm, so there wasn't much frigid Qi available. However, Han Cai had no issues, as he used celestial Qi to convert it into frigid Qi, ensuring a steady supply for his cultivation.

Yongnian, now acting as a guard under the name Zhen Long, made sure to watch over young Han Cai at all times. Han Cai continued to grow and cultivate, preparing himself again from scratch and He wanted to avoid the dangerous consequences of the system at any cost and best way to do that was be over prepared.

As a child, Han Cai was extremely obedient and charming. The maids loved taking care of him, considering him a beautiful and obedient child.

When Han Cai turned four, on the exact date of his birthday, he was given a new courtyard with maids to take care of him and a guard for his protection. The Yan family preferred their children to become independent as soon as possible.

Han Cai was surprised to find that his personal guard from now on was going to be Zhen Long. He didn't know that Yongnian was so resourceful. Zhen Long was originally a guard in his mother's courtyard, also watching Han Cai as Han Cai stayed in his mother's courtyard for the past four years.

The plan was for Yongnian to kill the guard and use transformation to become the new personal guard of Han Cai, but since Zhen Long had been watching Han Cai from the start, his mother decided to assign Zhen Long as Han Cai's personal guard.

It wasn't difficult for Yongnian, who was a Heaven Immortal, to manipulate his way into becoming Han Cai's personal guard, as Han Cai's mother was only a Foundation Establishment level cultivator.

When Han Cai turned Five, it was time for him to go to the ancestry hall of the Yan family.

The Yan family had a tradition that when a child turned five, they would bring the child to the ancestor's hall, where with the help of the family treasure and affinity testing arrays, the elders of the family would check the child's affinity and cultivation talents.

If the child seemed promising, they would invest in their future.

Twenty days after his fifth birthday, Zhen Long came to bring Han Cai to the ancestry hall of the Yan family. The maids dressed chubby little Han Cai in beautiful traditional clothes. The five-year-old looked adorable in his new attire, with his cheeks flushed.

pαndα,noνɐ1,сoМ Zhen Long brought Han Cai to a carriage. Yan Bo Household was at some distance from the main Yan building and ancestral hall.

Han Cai's grandfather was the youngest elder of the Yan family. His grandfather's household was called Yan Bo Household. Though this household belonged to Han Cai's father, he kept the name Yan Bo household to please his father.

The Yan family was a very large family with a long history. Yan Bo's father was the younger cousin of the patriarch of the Yan family. Yan Bo had seven children and more than twenty brothers, each of whom had many children of their own. Each of them needed their own household and courtyard. More than half of the people in Yan City were from the Yan lineage. The family was so large that they needed their own city.

The carriage moved swiftly towards the ancestors' hall through various streets. They finally arrived at a large household where the ancestral hall of the Yan family was situated. They got down from the carriage, and Han Cai followed Zhen Long to the ancestor's hall.

They moved through multiple clan buildings, one after another. After walking for a long time, they arrived in front of a large building with a sign that read "Ancestry Hall." Zhen Long entered the hall, followed by Han Cai.
