Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System
chapter-211

He stored these Vitality Pills in a jade box, which would preserve their potency and freshness.

Han Cai realized that the change in the pill must have been due to Yongnian's death Qi being too potent. Even though Yongnian had controlled it, the pills had been transformed into something else altogether.

Despite the unexpected outcome, Han Cai felt something move deep within his soul. He could now create Vitality Pills and as many as he wanted because the core knowledge of it was imprinted deep within him due to his talents.

His latent abilities allowed him to permanently master skills like arrays, talismans, and pills as long as he created them once. Han Cai understood the mistakes he had made and realized he didn't need Yongnian's spirit Qi to make the pill. His previous errors had caused his Qi to dry up, forcing him to ask Yongnian for help. Now, he could create Vitality Pills effortlessly, even with his eyes closed without any help.

Han Cai asked Blacky to catch an animal for experimentation. The next day, Blacky returned from the forest with an animal that looked like a Hyena, tied in shadow Qi. Han Cai fed the pill to the hyena. As soon as the hyena consumed the pill, its body began to shrink as if someone was sucking up all its vitality. The hyena cried in pain, but the process was too quick. Soon, the entire hyena disappeared, leaving behind a pill with red marks on it.

Han Cai felt bad for Hyena, but he consoled himself that He did this for Mufasa.

Looking at the vitality pill that ate the Hyena instead of the Hyena eating the pill, Han Cai sighed. He had created the Vitality Pill, but its effects were the direct opposite of what they should have been. However, he wasn't surprised by this outcome.

Yongnian was a poisoned elder in the past and is now an Immortal who has almost comprehended the laws of death Qi. It made sense that such a reaction would occur. Nevertheless, there was growth in his alchemy skills.

Determined to become an alchemy master, Han Cai decided to focus on this skill to enter the Azure Dragon Sect. He divided his time into two parts: diligently cultivating all night and learning alchemy during the day.

As he became more proficient in concocting the pills, he avoided taking support from Yongnian, as the effects of his Qi were very negative for the whole process.

Time passed, and soon it had been more than six months since Yan Rui, Han Cai's great-grandfather, left for the Azure Dragon Sect to attend his cousin's testing. Han Cai had reached level nine of Qi condensation, but his skills had not grown much. They were still stuck at level three.

One day, while Han Cai was busy concocting pills, a maid from his courtyard informed Zhen Long that Yan Rui had returned and wanted to see Han Cai. For the past six months, Han Cai had not left his courtyard, focusing on cultivating and learning alchemy diligently.

Before meeting his great-grandfather, Han Cai made sure to take a shower and clean up the residue of burning herbs from his body. After bathing and wearing fresh new clothes, Han Cai left his courtyard and walked towards Yan Rui's courtyard.

As Han Cai walked toward his great-grandfather's courtyard, many servants saw him passing by. Each servant who caught sight of him stared wide-eyed for a while. One of the maids who had served Han Cai in the past hadn't seen him for six months, as he had only interacted with Zhen Long and another maid who served his food. When she saw him, she almost fainted. Han Cai ignored her reaction and continued walking into his great-grandfather's courtyard.

Upon entering, his great-grandfather Yan Rui raised his head to look at him. When Yan Rui saw Han Cai, even he stayed agape for a while. The reason for everyone's shock at Han Cai's appearance was that he had overdone his alchemy practice, trying to manage the flames, which had led to him burning his clothes and hair many times.

Presently, Han Cai was bald. Even his eyebrows had been burnt to nothingness. It's not that Han Cai enjoyed looking like this, but he was not planning to stop just because of this minor setback. He had his priorities straight; he was going to try his best to awaken at least one of his abilities.

Yan Rui stayed quiet for a long time before he spoke. "So, you have been practicing alchemy diligently? Any progress?"

Han Cai nodded and took out a jade bottle. He opened it, and the smell of herbs permeated the air. He took out a Vitality pill from the jade bottle and showed it to Yan Rui. This was a Vitality pill he had created himself.

Seeing the Vitality pill, Yan Rui's smile widened. He took the pill and inspected it carefully. The more he inspected, the more pleased he became.

Yan Rui laughed and said, "Great, you actually managed to create a Vitality pill. My household not only brought up a Heaven-grade talent but a future Alchemy Master too."

They stayed silent for a while as Yan Rui continued to inspect the pill. Han Cai then asked, "Grandpa, how was the test for Brother Yan Pengfei? Did he get selected?"

Yan Rui shook his head and replied, "No, he lost to another twelve-year-old in the third round. The elders and the patriarch were very disappointed. They had paid a heavy price to get him access to the test of the Azure Dragon Sect."

Yan Rui's cheerful mood became somber. "Every few years, we become hopeful that one of our Heaven-grade talents will get an opportunity to enter the Azure Dragon Sect, and they will become as strong as the top three Hui, Qi, and Pei families. And every year, their hopes are destroyed."

Han Cai consoled him by saying, "Don't worry, Great-Grandpa. I will join the Azure Dragon Sect for you."

Yan Rui nodded and said, "Tomorrow, I will take you to meet the patriarch. Make sure to dress up properly."

Han Cai nodded and left, returning to his courtyard to practice alchemy.

The next morning, Han Cai got ready and arrived at his great-grandfather's courtyard.

Yan Rui was waiting for Han Cai when he arrived. Upon seeing him, Yan Rui motioned for Han Cai to follow him. They took a family carriage that brought them to the main household of the Yan family.
