[Initiate Law of Equal Exchange?]

Han Cai's system was a cheat that called itself the Exchange Points System, which allowed him to exchange points for various things, such as increasing his stats, making something out of nothing, and more. He had been experimenting with the system for the past 10 years and had a basic understanding of how it worked. The system required you to have a minimum of 100 points before you could make an equal exchange; that did not mean every exchange would cost 100 points or more. Han Cai planned to save up to 1000 points to unlock the System Update attribute and explore it further.

So far, he learned from the last few exchanges that the system could give him anything he wished for as long as it was an equal exchange. Even bringing a basket of fruits out of thin air, which cost him just 2 points, or getting diet coke from his past world for him to drink cost him 102 points for some reason. He figured most probably the things that don't exist in this world. If he wished to exchange those things, it would cost more points. The best use of exchange points for Han Cai was to use them to increase his stats. That's how he brought most of his stats to 1, which meant at ten years of age, his strength was on the level of an adult man. Increasing each stat cost him around 100 to 150 points, and he increased his intelligence the most.

Now that he was ten years old, the system was collecting 1 point every day. Han Cai had planned to save 1000 points to unlock the locked System Update attribute and explore it further. He had intended to collect the points in the comfort of his home, then exchange them to boost his stats, and, when he was strong enough, to explore this world and join a sect to learn cultivation. However, his father had other plans, and he sent Han Cai to the Sky Soaring Sect as an outer sect disciple.

Han Cai understood his father's effort to get him a spot in the sect. He had to bribe officials and the mayor of Cloud Mountain City, a major city near the Sky Soaring Sect. The mayor was a relative of an elder of the sect, and Han Cai's father had almost gone broke collecting the bribe money of 15,000 gold coins. One gold coin was enough for a farmer to live a year comfortably. Han Cai did not have any brothers or sisters. When Han Cai was born, his mother died at a young age. Han Dai, who was Han Cai's father, raised him.

Despite his initial reluctance, Han Cai decided to make the most of this opportunity and put all his effort into learning and growing in the sect.
