Han Cai was dressed in his light green Alchemy hall robes when they left the luxurious inn. Today, they were going to register the clan as a vassal of the Azure Dragon Sect. With this, they would become an official clan of the Azure Dragon Country. When they arrived at the city hall, they  members working in hall were all officials from core vassal families such as the Lan Clan. The process was smooth, and now, as a registered clan, the Yan Clan could purchase properties in any of the major cities.

The registration process still took the whole day, and Han Cai had to be present because, with the disciple present, the process was smoother, or it might have taken a longer time. In the evening, they arrived back at the luxury inn. The patriarch was in a good mood, so he asked if Han Cai wanted anything. Han Cai shook his head and told him he just wanted good food.





All the elders couldn't help but marvel at their amazing seed. He was studious, talented, a genius, and never demanded anything from the elders. When they arrived at the inn and went to the dining area, they found the Hu, Qi, Pei, and Xu Clan members seated together, discussing something.

Near them, on a separate table, were seated their younger generation who were participating in the general tournament. Seeing the Yan Clan enter, the patriarchs of all four families were surprised, but then they saw the hairless child in a light green robe. They stayed wide-eyed for a while.

The patriarch of the Yan Family went and greeted all the present Patriarchs.

The patriarch of the Pei family was the first to speak, "Patriarch, did Yan Cai get selected for the sect?" T

he patriarch of the Yan family nodded, smiled proudly, and said, "Yes, he participated in the special Alchemist test. These tests are specifically set up for the most talented Alchemists, and he was one of the five to be selected."

Hearing this, all the families present realized no wonder they did not see the Yan family members in the general tournament. This was the first time they had heard about the special Alchemy hall test. Then again, many of them had already expected that such a talented Alchemist would join a respectable sect, if not the Azure Dragon Sect.

The patriarch of the Xu family was pleased, feeling he had made the best investment by planning an engagement contract with the Yan Clan in future. He decided next year when Yan Clan throws banquet for Han Cai's selection he will make sure to get the engagement contract signed. The elders made space for the elders of the Yan Clan to sit with them at their table, while Han Cai sat at the kiddie table with the younger generation.

All the young masters from the Hu, Qi, Pei, and Xu clans looked at Han Cai curiously. They knew about him, had seen his talent at the banquet, but what they remembered most was the bald kid with no eyebrows. Now, this bald kid was a member of the Azure Dragon Sect, while they were still struggling in the test.

Han Cai sat at the table, and before his arrival, Hu Lei, Qi Ming, and the kid from the Xu Clan were busy trying to woo Pei Yao. But now that Han Cai had come, he became the center of attention. They were curious about him because he had achieved what they were striving to achieve.

Han Cai did not chatter with the other children. Instead, he ordered tons of food and enjoyed it with heartfelt contentment.

If it was earlier, Han Cai would have offended the young masters for treating them like air, but now all these kids had respect for him. He was a member of the most powerful sect in the country. After enjoying his food, Han Cai saw the elders still caught up in chatting. He got up and went to his great-grandfather, telling him he was tired and wanted to rest.

If it was before, the elders of other families would have frowned upon a child disturbing their conversation in the middle. The child should wait for the elders to finish, but now things were different. Han Cai was the star of the show; everything the Yan Clan was going to receive was because of him. So they felt it was not wrong for Han Cai to disturb them. Yan Rui nodded and said that Han Cai could go rest. They were discussing business in Verdant City.

The Qi, Hu, and Pei families were discussing the same thing with the Xu family: how to share the pie of the Verdant area. But now the Yan Family had joined the fray, and the pie had to be divided into one more part.

In one day, the Yan family had earned the respect of all the heavyweights of the Verdant area. The next day their Younger generation was going to participate in general test, so the elders of other families also sent their young seeds to rest following Han Cai's cue.

When the next day arrived, the Yan family had nothing to do, so the patriarch took them to see the tests with the Xu family. The tests were being held at a massive ground outside the city. When they arrived at the venue, the test was about to begin. They found seats to sit down, and the test was taking place in the massive ground. There were fifty thousand participants present, and twenty thousand had already been eliminated at the first stage.

In the first stage, participants were given a written exam to test their understanding of fundamental cultivation concepts, techniques, and theories. Those who scored below a certain threshold were eliminated, reducing the number of competitors to fifty thousand. The theory tests could be taken by all the participants at once, but when it came to combat testing, the process was long, which was why they had to spend a month waiting for the test to finish.

The second stage was for Endurance and Stamina. This stage tested the participants' physical endurance and stamina. They were required to complete a series of physically demanding tasks, such as long-distance running, weightlifting, or traversing an obstacle course. Those who failed to finish the tasks within the allotted time or demonstrated insufficient stamina were eliminated. There were more than a thousand outer sect elders testing fifty participants each.
