Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange System



What the Pei family patriarch said was true. Marriage contracts within families were transferable from one member to another, as sometimes young generations died during missions or experienced other tragedies. This rule was formed so that the death of one member would not affect the entire clan, as a marriage contract between two talented members wasn't just about the two individuals but affected the whole clan.

The patriarch of the Xu family thought for a while and then said, "It is indeed true that we have heard the Yan family has a heavenly seed with a heaven-defying talent in alchemy, but we have not seen this seed, so we cannot make a decision about that."

The patriarch of the Pei family turned to the patriarch of the Yan family and said, "Patriarch, I believe you have brought the little one with you, haven't you?"

When he said "little one," he looked at Han Cai with a smile.

"Mother F****R," was Han Cai's silent reaction when the patriarch of the Pei family mentioned him. Han Cai immediately understood that the patriarch of the Yan family was in on the plan. The moment Yan Pengfei failed, the patriarch was sure that sooner or later, the engagement would be canceled, as a frog cannot fly with a swan. However, to the patriarch's surprise, the core elder brought him a "swan" in the form of Han Cai and a plan formed in his mind.

He went and bribed the Pei family patriarch with a large number of high-potency medium-grade pills, asking him to speak for the Yan family whenever the situation of canceling the engagement came up. The situation had indeed arisen much sooner than he had anticipated.

Now, everyone was looking at the eleven-year-old bald little boy with no hair and no eyebrows - Han Cai.

The patriarch of the Hu family interjected, "People say that the Yan family has a heaven-grade talented Alchemist, but how do we know that it is true?"

The patriarch of the Pei family nodded and replied, "It is the truth, but I understand your doubts. Also, having a heaven-grade Alchemist might affect not only the Yan family but our whole Verdant area. It will be the pride of our whole Verdant area if we could produce a Master Alchemist in the future. How about we have the child concoct a pill in front of everyone on this auspicious occasion and find out the truth of the matter?"

Saying this, he looked at the patriarch of the Yan family, who nodded in agreement. The Pei family patriarch then turned to one of the core elders of his family. The elder flew out and returned shortly, carrying a cauldron and alchemy materials.

Han Cai was surprised at how prepared they were.

The cauldron and materials were set up at the center of the banquet. Even the patriarchs of the Xu, Qi, and Hui families were curious. If it was really true that the child was a heaven-grade talent in alchemy, then it was not a bad idea to form a relationship with the Yan family.

The patriarch of the Yan family looked at Yan Rui, who nodded and brought Han Cai in front of the cauldron and alchemy materials. Han Cai sighed and got to work.

Han Cai began the process of concocting the pills. He carefully measured the ingredients and added them to the cauldron with a practiced hand. The fire beneath the cauldron was perfectly controlled, ensuring that the ingredients were heated at the ideal temperature for optimal fusion. Han Cai seemed to be completely in his element, expertly stirring the concoction and adjusting the fire as needed.

As the process continued, it became clear that Han Cai was a master at concocting pills. He effortlessly made adjustments to the process, ensuring that every step was executed flawlessly. Finally, he finished the process and produced a batch of perfectly crafted pills.

By the time Han Cai was done, every clan member was wide-eyed, including the Xu, Hu, and Qi family patriarchs. Even the Pei family patriarch was surprised at how amazingly talented this child was when it came to concocting pills. Han Cai had demonstrated the skill of a level that was almost close to Master Alchemist.

Han Cai handed the pills to his great-grandfather, who in turn passed them to the Yan family patriarch. The patriarch then distributed the pills to the other patriarchs.

Some of them were surprised at how potent and perfect the pills were. They realized that the chances of Han Cai being accepted into the Azure Dragon Sect were very high. Even if he did not get accepted into the sect, the Yan family would continue to grow with such a talented alchemist in their ranks. Many alchemy clans or sects would offer anything to have him join their ranks.

Any clan Han Cai married into would have an unlimited supply of pills. The behavior of the Xu family patriarch changed from earlier when he had treated the Yan family with disdain to now when the Yan family seemed like valuable allies. If his niece Xu Qiaolian married Han Cai, his clan would be the first to receive the pills. They could have stores in Verdant City and become official sellers of the pills. What his grand-niece was bringing to the table for the Yan family outweighed what Yan Pengfei was offering, but now the tables had turned. What Han Cai brought to the table far outweighed what his grand-niece could provide.

Xu family patriarch spoke up, "We Xu family follow our traditions diligently, so we have no qualms against our daughter Xu Qiaolian getting engaged to Yan Cai. We will wait for a year until Yan Cai takes the sect test before we announce the engagement. If the Yan patriarch is fine with it."

The reason he chose a year was that he wanted to see how things played out. Han Cai was incredibly talented and would be the envy of all the families of the Yan family, so perhaps they might try to destroy this heaven-grade talent before he even grew up. So, the Xu family patriarch decided to wait it out before making any decision. He did not want to be known as a breaker of family traditions by breaking an engagement later in case Han Cai died.
