Han Cai sat down on a chair, while Xiaoyun sat comfortably on his bed.
Han Cai asked, "How was it? Is there anything new?"
Xiaoyun answered, "No, most of the city is talking about the royal tournament. The emperor has offered very generous rewards."
Han Cai asked, "Is there anything else?"
Xiaoyun spoke: "The Royal Castle has Earth Immortals, so I did not try to get nearby."Han Cai shook his head and said, "If you use ethereal invisibility, they will not notice you. But we don't need to offend them, so leave it at that. Just keep watch around the city and inform me if you find anything."
Xiaoyun nodded, and then she disappeared.
Han Cai sighed and rose from his chair. He lay down on the bed and opened his system panel.

Han Cai felt relieved when he saw the trading points. He Cai had long realized that cultivators provided far more trading points than spirit stone mines. The spirit stones in the mines were tainted with impurities. The energy system obtained from cultivators was pure and filtered, and those cultivators had worked diligently for years to produce this pure QI. The system took into account more than just the value of energy in the cultivator's body; it assigned trading points based on the cultivator's overall worth, including the skills they had cultivated and knowledge they had gained; everything was used by the system and delegated an equal value of trading points.
The most important reason he received a large number of trading points from cultivators was because of their souls. When the system converted souls into trading points, it was very generous. The higher the rank of the cultivator's soul, the higher the number of trading points he received. Han Cai used to think a soul of being would be priceless, but it seemed the system could add a price tag on anything and everything.
A week has passed since Han Cai and the sect master came to the capital.
Today, Cui and Wang's family members came to visit the mansion they were staying in. With the patriarchs of both families came Wang Jie and Cui Wei too.
When they came in front of the mansion, Yongnian went to welcome them.
After they entered the mansion, they were surprised that the only people who came from the sect were the Sect Master and Han Cai.
The sect master greeted them and offered them a seat. Yongnian served them some tea.
The Sect Master looked at Wang Jie and Cui Wei and spoke: "I hear the rewards for the tournament offered by the Emperor are very generous this time; you guys might face some difficult battles in the upcoming tournament."
The Patriarch of the Wang family nodded and spoke. " The Li family wants to show off the talents of their family, so they are sending their best talents. The Yang family wants to win back its face, so it is planning to send its strongest talents too. Since the emperor has offered such generous rewards, even royal princes plan to participate in this tournament."
Sect Master asked, "What about other sects? Are they planning to participate?"
Cui family patriarch answered, "Except for the Sky Soaring Sect, all other sects, including the Frost Peak Sect, the Heavenly Thunder Sect, the Divine Wind Sect, and the Starfall Sect, are participating. There are countless numbers of outsiders participating who came looking for new opportunities in the north."
Wang Family Patriarch added, "If Sky Soaring Sect was participating, I am sure your sect would be taking first place in this tournament. I don't think there will be anyone who might be as talented as the sect master's disciple."
The Cui family patriarch nodded too. They had seen Han Cai in action; they knew Han Cai was too powerful; they might not be able to fight him, as during the friendly spar, they could not keep up with Han Cai's movements.
"Do not praise him too much, lest it goes to his head," the sect master said, shaking his head.
Sect Master continued, "This is Han Cai's first time visiting the capital; it will be a great opportunity for him."
The patriarch of the Cui family nodded and spoke to Han Cai, saying, "If you feel bored, Cui Wei can show you around the capital. Our Cui family has a lot of entertainment businesses here too. I think you might enjoy them."
The patriarch of the Wang family spoke too: "Yes, yes, our Wang family has a lot of good entertainment businesses, too, and we also have trading and auction houses too. Wang Jie can show you around the capital too."
There was a reason that these two were so concerned about Han Cai's entertainment. In the northernmost part of Yin, there were three powers Sky Soaring Sect, Wang Family, and Cui Family.
But now, the sky-soaring sect had become their biggest customer. They first thought the Sky Soaring Sect had come across a medium-grade mine, and slowly that mine would dry up, then the sect would go back to being as they were in the past. But soon, they realized the sect was doing the opposite on a monthly basis. With demand exceeding supply, the amount their family used to make tripled. Now the income from Sky Soaring Sect made up for the majority of their family's income, and they had to hire more workers to keep up with the demand, leading to the expansion of their mining operations. They were grateful for the sect's patronage.
They realized Sky Soaring Sect, and they were not in the same League anymore. The Sky Soaring Sect was literally soaring in the sky while they were still on the ground. Seeing how talented Han Cai was, they knew their sect's power would only increase in the future. They also knew that Han Cai was going to be the leader of the Sky Soaring Sect in the future. Not to mention, he was powerful enough to fight the patriarchs of both families. Because of this, both wanted their sons to become close to Han Cai.
The Sect Master responded instead of Han Cai, "No, no, he will get spoiled. It is better for him to stay and cultivate instead."
The Cui family patriarch spoke, "In three days, the Emperor will be throwing a welcoming banquet. I hope the sect master will be joining us at that banquet."
The sect master shook his head and said, "Han Cai will be attending the banquet on my behalf. Please take care of him during the banquet, as this is his first time in the capital."
The Eyes of the Patriarch of the Cui family and Wang Family glowed. They immediately spoke, "Of course! Of course! We are family. You don't have to request such things, sect master."
The sect master smiled and said, "I am glad to hear that. We should always support each other."
After having some more friendly chats, the Cui and Wang family patriarchs left with their sons.
Three days later, the royal castle was filled with excitement and hubbub. All the leading cultivator families were going to visit the royal banquet today. The entire castle was bustling with activity as the servants and the royal chefs prepared for the grand event. The castle was decorated with flowers and exquisite ornaments, and the dining hall was being prepared for the guests.
