Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 108 Bottleneck

Han Yi slowly exhaled a breath of white air. This time, he chose to add points to the 'Thunderclap Palm Technique'.

While the Xuan-rank martial art 'Dual Kill with Sword and Saber' is excellent, it also consumes a lot of Yuan energy. Both are at the proficient level, but Thunder Palm only requires twenty Yuan energy points to break through, while Dual Kill with Sword and Saber requires thirty!

If I allocate points to the dual-wielding sword and blade attack, I'll have less Yuan Power left...

So after thinking for a moment, Han Yi added some points to the Thunderclap Palm technique.

Moreover, fists are the ultimate romance for men!

He glanced at his information again; it had changed from '65~95' to '75~99'. Was this the bottleneck?

Han Yi frowned. He had tested it before, and a value over 100 indicated combat power at the Meridian Opening stage.

It seems that with his current Blood Refining stage cultivation, 99 is already the limit...

Unless I can break through the meridians, my overall stats won't even reach 100 when I'm unarmed.

A single step can make all the difference, like an insurmountable chasm!

This tiny difference is an insurmountable chasm that countless people spend their entire lives trying to overcome!

Although he had already decided to try his best to cultivate the 'Yang Yuan Gong' to perfection to see the effect, after all, if he could gain internal strength through the 'Yang Yuan Gong', and if there were no conflicts in cultivating multiple techniques, and if the characteristics of each technique complemented and superimposed each other...

That smells amazing!

Bai Sanren once told Han Yi that the key to breaking through the Meridian Opening stage is that any martial artist who wants to generate internal strength and become a Meridian Opening Martial Master must comprehend the fundamental visualization diagram that accompanies the cultivation method.

Humans have three treasures: essence, energy, and spirit.

A martial artist's cultivation is a process of tapping into the body's treasures, and the fundamental diagram is something that fully embodies the core of essence, energy, and spirit.

After a martial artist fully comprehends the fundamental diagram, they imprint the essence of the technique in their mind. By maintaining this essence in their mind during daily practice, they can break through the limitations of the technique, gradually perfect their physical body, and become stronger.

Although Bai Sanren was vague about the cultivation beyond the Meridian Opening stage, Han Yi was able to glean from his fragmented understanding that breaking through the Meridian Opening stage was not as simple as refining the skin and bones. Rather, it was a different kind of process that could only be understood intuitively and not explained in words!

Furthermore, the 'Yang Yuan Gong' lacks a fundamental visualization diagram, and Han Yi doesn't possess a breakthrough pill like the 'Breaking Meridian Pill' for breaking through the Meridian Opening stage. Bai Sanren also advised him to relearn the cultivation method…

Even with the system at his disposal, the real problem was right in front of him: he couldn't guarantee that he could break through to the Meridian Opening stage using the Yang Yuan Gong! So, Han Yi came up with a solution: after becoming an inner disciple, he would choose a cultivation method with a fundamental visualization diagram, break through to the Meridian Opening stage through the sect's cultivation method, and then, from a higher perspective, cultivate the Yang Yuan Gong to verify whether it could dispel the saying that 'one cannot cultivate two different methods at the same time'.

This is another important reason why Han Yi retained some Yuan Power...

Therefore, I must participate in the sect's minor competition and become an inner disciple!

Swish!

Inside the courtyard, a thick iron-clad wooden stake, about the size of a bowl, was sliced ​​open as smoothly as tofu, with not a single splinter on its smooth cross-section.

"Not bad!"

Han Yi nodded in satisfaction, gripping the hilt of the Xuan Tie sword as he pondered in his mind.

He tested his strength after stepping out of the house.

Han Yi simply waved his hand, and the iron-clad, incredibly sturdy wooden stake snapped in two without him feeling any resistance whatsoever.

As expected, both sword and saber techniques can be used on the Xuan Tie Sword, and it seems that only now can I unleash its true power…

He kept stroking the blade of the Xuan Tie sword, his eyes flashing with excitement.

This deal with Master Lu from Baibaoge was truly a profitable one!

Oh right, there seems to be one more thing I haven't picked up from the Treasure Pavilion...

Thinking of the Treasure Pavilion, Han Yi suddenly remembered something: his black gold gauntlets were still being repaired by Master Lu, and he hadn't had time to retrieve them.

"Looking at the dates, it's probably time to go collect it..."

Baibaoge

"Young Master Han, the boxing gloves you ordered have already been made..."

.

"This little thing looks unremarkable, but it took a lot of effort to make it..."

Master Lu was covered in sweat, his muscles were flushed, as if he had just come out of the forging room.

He took something down from the shelf next to him.

It was the same black gauntlets that Han Yi was familiar with, shiny black, but with specks of gold appearing on their surface under the sunlight.

However, this time the black gold boxing gloves have some small gadgets added, such as some sharp objects.

These are a row of short, sharp spikes, also known as fist spikes!

The black gold gauntlets needed to be repaired eventually, so he specially instructed Master Lu to add these things, which greatly increased their lethality!

"Two hundred taels of silver." Master Lu quoted a price. It took him a lot of effort to ensure that the two rows of spikes were both sharp and secure.

"good…..."

Since Han Yi accepted missions from the Martial Alliance and the Extraordinary Affairs Office, he has finally become much more financially secure.

At this moment, Han Yi, wearing spiked gauntlets and wielding a black iron sword, finally felt a sense of security.

At this moment, his overall strength is floating above his head as '95~130'!

A day passed in the blink of an eye, and night fell.

"Young Han, after becoming an inner disciple, you'll need to choose a branch. Have you decided where you want to go?"

嗑！

puff!

Han Yi grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds, ate the kernels, and spat out the shells. "I haven't decided yet. Do you have any suggestions?"

"The Crimson Flame Sect's External Affairs Hall is responsible for distributing items from the exchange points at various guard camps outside Anyan City."

"The Enforcement Hall is responsible for supervising the behavior of disciples both inside and outside the sect."

"The Internal Affairs Hall is responsible for various affairs within An Yan City of the Crimson Flame Sect."

"Oh, right, there's also the Secret Affairs Hall. This hall usually handles secret matters, and I know very little about it..."

"Mr. Bai, do you have any recommendations?"

Han Yi grabbed a handful of candied melon seeds and placed them in Bai Sanren's hand.

"Brother Yi, I want to eat too..."

Qianxue sat on the rosewood rattan chair, her two little legs crossed and swinging back and forth.

"Children shouldn't eat candy, it will cause cavities!"

Han Yi's expression was cold, feigning the ruthlessness of a killer. "Let me think..." Bai Sanren stroked his long beard, pondering.

"Young Han, if we're talking about meeting your requirements, the Internal Affairs Hall is the most suitable. I have some old friends there. Although the pay is lower, it's safer, and most of the missions are within the city..."

"Alright, then I'll choose the Internal Affairs Hall..."

The moon is very big tonight, and there isn't a single cloud in the night sky. It looks like tomorrow will be a good day.

With this thought in mind, Han Yi fell into a deep sleep, hoping that everything would go smoothly for his initiation tomorrow.
