To outer sect gray robes Han Cai was just a ten year old kid who was interested about what goes in sect and wanted to learn more about sect. They themself were mostly teenagers not very old. Han Cai had good manners so most of the gray robe disciples who delivered meals had a good impression of him.
in the beginning they were a bit jealous of him because he was a 10 year old yellow robe while they had to serve him and bring his meals, but seeing his kind behavior they accepted him as friend. They assumed Han Cai must be from a rich and educated background as all yellow robed disciples who bought their way to the sect were rich kids but none were humble.
Han kai was thinking what he should do to get more spirit stones. As he could see there were two methods. The first was to go to sect hall and inform them he reached qi condensation level 1 and start taking in missions. If he did that he would be noticed by everyone for sure he had just joined the sect 7 months ago and is already at Qi cultivation level 1.
It might have a positive effect that he might receive more support from the sect or might have a negative effect since the sect would see him like a prodigy that might put him in unnecessary spotlight which could get him in some trouble. Even if he wanted to disclose his cultivation he first had to get his crane sword skill to level 4, then even at level one cultivation with the help of technique he could fight a cultivator of the foundation realm.
Second method was to earn a lot of gold coins and then use those gold coins to buy 10 spirit stones per month and earn a lucrative amount of exchange points. But either way he had to go out and find some way to earn some spirit stones.
After thinking for a while Han Cai decided to go ahead with the first method but he will wait until 20 months have passed. Then he will go to the sect hall, register his cultivation level and start taking missions.
Spending only One and half years to get to Qi condensation level was something very talented disciples could do as most disciples took 3 to 5 years to reach level one of qi condensation level, but it was not that amazing that they would consider him as a monster.
He had around 12 months in his hands. He should be able to collect around 23 thousand exchange points. With those points he could update the system and get his cultivation and Sword skill to level 2.
He decided that he will increase his fighting power first instead of his cultivation. So in the upcoming 12 months he would try to get his sword skill to level 3 instead of increasing his cultivation.
Han Cai knew, before registering him as a cultivator, the outer sect hall will measure his cultivation if it shows level 2 of qi condensation, he will get more attention than he needed as reaching level 2 of qi condensation level in one and half years will be too shocking. For general disciples it will take around 7 - 8 years to reach qi cultivation level 2 if they start from no cultivation.
But there was no tool in outer sect hall that could measure his skills . They will see his sword skill at the level he would like to show them.
Upgrading his sword skills will give him great advantage. If he reached level four of crane sword skill he could hurt a foundations establishment realm cultivator. At level 3 even if he could not hurt them at least he could engage them for a while, that was good enough for him.
From what he saw increasing sword skills also improved his cultivation so maybe he might be able to reach level 2 of Qi condensation just by upgrading his sword skill level that will save him a good amount of exchange points.
