The old man was shocked; the kid did not need his legacy?
Before the old man could say anything more, gray Qi swallowed him, and the room became quiet again. Han Cai went back to cultivating.
After cultivating all night, in the morning, when Han Cai opened his eyes, he saw a black cat sitting in his room's corner. It was an adorable, small feline with silky, pitch-black fur that looked soft to the touch. Its eyes were a gentle shade of green, reminiscent of the original beast's eyes but with a friendlier, more inviting glow. The cat's body was petite and lean, with just the right amount of muscle for an agile and playful creature. Its whiskers twitched playfully, and it had an endearing, curious expression that made it impossible not to smile at the sight of it.
Han Cai smiled and said, "So you can travel in the shadow dimension now, Blacky?"
The black cat tilted its head and gave Han Cai a soft meow as if confirming his words.
The cat jumped on his shoulders, starting to show affection to Han Cai. Han Cai said, "I am more of a dog person. You should know that."
Hearing this, the cat growled, jumped into the shadow, and disappeared.
Han Cai laughed and said, "Come back. I was joking."
The cat reappeared and started showing him affection again. Han Cai had given Blacky two duties: one was to protect the sect, and the second was to become a void shadow beast. These beasts could travel through the void and shadow dimensions, arriving at any destination they liked. They were very rare, and it was even rarer to tame one, but Han Cai had given Blacky enough support and resources that it was just a matter of time before it became a void shadow beast, which was equal to being a void immortal.
Balcky was rarer than any shadow beast because it had the spatial abilities and skills of Han Cai from past life too.
Han Cai got up and went out into the courtyard, calling out to the maids. One maid came and bowed.
Han Cai said, "Bring me a bowl of hot water and three cups."
The maid nodded and came back with a bowl of hot water and three cups. Han Cai asked the maid to leave.
When the maid left, Han Cai took out his spirit coffee from the system storage and mixed it in hot water. Once the coffee was ready, he went to call Yongnian to have coffee with him and Blacky, but Yongnian was nowhere to be found.
Han Cai had no choice but to serve only two cups, saying, "Blacky, try some spirit coffee."
Han Cai took a sip. Now that he was a Qi Condensation cultivator, the coffee hit a whole other level. He felt like he had drunk twenty Red Bulls at once. Blacky noticed Han Cai's expression and warily came close to the coffee cup, using its tongue to taste the coffee.
When Han Cai saw Blacky drinking the black coffee, he felt he had achieved something that morning. He wasn't sure what it was that he had achieved, but he had achieved something.
Blacky, after one taste of the black coffee, disappeared into the shadow dimension. Han Cai sighed. Coffee was an acquired taste, and these people didn't even try to put in the effort to understand the beauty in the taste of black coffee.
Today, Great Grandpa was not going to train him, so Han Cai was free. Great Grandpa had scheduled for Han Cai to meet him once every week to show his progress. If he had any questions, he could go to Great Grandpa anytime, but for Han Cai's general guidance, it would be once every week. His grandfather wanted to see how Han Cai fared and, accordingly, would train his great-grandkid.
Han Cai spent all day wondering what exactly he had achieved when he made Blacky drink black coffee. To someone outside seeing him contemplate like that, they might think that he was enlightening himself in the grand Dao.
The day passed, and the night came. Han Cai could not figure it out; this Dao was too difficult for him. Giving up, he went back to cultivating.
Life for Han Cai in Yan Rui's household was mundane. He would cultivate all day and night, and slowly, his cultivation kept increasing. He was now a level four Qi Condensation cultivator. After a few months of staying with Great-grandfather Rui, Han Cai revealed to him his second level of Qi condensation cultivation. Great-grandfather Rui was beyond pleased with his progress.
Han Cai didn't have much to do; the more he cultivated, the more he felt connected to Celestial Plane 616. Unlike other cultivators, as their cultivation grew, it became difficult for them to raise their cultivation. However, it kept becoming easier and easier for Han Cai.
The two reasons for this were his talent, affinity, and bonding with Celestial Plane 616.
In his last life, he was always in a hurry, so he could not take the time to understand the Celestial Plane. But now that he had all the time in the world and the enemies of his benefactor were not chasing him, he spent time cultivating and bonding with Celestial Plane 616. The plane would respond to Han Cai's requests as if it had its own consciousness. Perhaps because of his affinity, it felt that the plane welcomed him as if he was a child of that plane.
While cultivating, Han Cai's body would become ethereal, moving from this world to Celestial Plane 616. He did not even use the ethereal invisibility technique. However, the ethereal invisibility technique was one of the causes for it, as it had become an innate ability of Han Cai.
By the age of six, Han Cai had already reached level five of Qi condensation. When he reached level five of Qi condensation, he went to inform his great-grandfather Yan Rui about him reaching level three of Qi condensation.
