Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 125 The Case in the Heart

"It seems the injuries have almost healed..."

After a hearty meal, Han Yi returned to his room, sat cross-legged on the bed, and tore off the bandage covered in blood scabs, revealing smooth, fair new skin underneath.

During his fight with Song Qing, he did not suffer any serious injuries, only superficial wounds. In addition, thanks to the rejuvenating properties of the "Yang Yuan Gong," he has almost fully recovered.

"We should find a way to get rid of this pill..."

Han Yi toyed with the 'Bloodstone Rejuvenation Pill' given to him by Elder Li. Although Bai Sanren had verified that the pill was safe, he still decided to find a shop to recycle this precious recovery pill. After all, it was something he was going to ingest, and it was given to him by Elder Li; he really didn't dare to take it!

"Keep your upper body upright, relax your whole body naturally; relaxation allows for smooth flow of Qi and unobstructed circulation throughout the body..."

Afterwards, Han Yi opened the "Transformation Technique" and practiced according to the incantation. After eating a large bowl of Crimson Blood Tiger meat, he felt a warm burning sensation in his abdomen, which was the time when his blood and qi were growing stronger, and it was also the best time to cultivate.

Moreover, the "Transformation Technique" is just a martial art that involves shrinking bones and changing appearance, which only involves the body's skeleton and is relatively simple to practice.

In addition, as a Blood Refining stage martial artist, he had already mastered bone refining. Furthermore, with the added benefit of refining the "Jade Bone Technique" to its extreme, Han Yi's tendons were like bowstrings, his bones were like refined steel, and all 206 bones in his body could stretch freely and easily.

In just about an hour, he felt that he had mastered the "body transformation technique".

"System," he murmured, and the panel that hadn't appeared for a long time suddenly appeared before his eyes.

[Realm]: Early stage of Blood Refinement (22/100); Sword Realm: One kill in ten steps; Blade Realm: As heavy as a mountain

[Elemental Power Value]: 56

Proficiency level: Mastery?

Han Yi was taken aback. As a special martial art, the "Transformation Technique" was indeed different from ordinary martial arts. He had only practiced it for a short while and had already reached the mastery stage.

Strangely, even after reaching the Great Perfection stage, no new characteristics emerged. Moreover, after trying it out, Han Yi discovered that he could only control the bones and muscles of his torso, making extension or contraction movements, but he still could not freely control the muscles and bones of his face.

Even so, Han Yi was quite satisfied; he felt he could now temporarily and freely change his height…

scoff!

For example, right now, he activated the "Body Transformation Technique," extending the muscles and bones along his spine, transforming himself into a burly man over two meters tall, his clothes instantly ripped apart.

However, this is the limit of his extension. Of course, he can shrink his bones and muscles to become about 1.4 meters tall, like a child.

'I wonder if the "Body Manifestation Technique" can be applied to that part of the body...'

Han Yi glanced almost imperceptibly at a certain part of his lower body, a strange expression appearing on his face—a meaning that men who understand will know.

'If I can temporarily change my body shape, I can also hide myself by covering my face...'

Han Yi was in a very good mood at this moment. After mastering the "Body Transformation Technique", he would have an extra layer of security. Moreover, he had a feeling that when the "Body Transformation Technique" was fully mastered, new changes would occur, such as changing his appearance by controlling his facial muscles and bones.

"The 'Body Manifestation Technique' is merely a low-grade Yellow Rank martial art. With my current Blood Refining stage cultivation, I believe I'll soon reach its highest level!"

Han Yi's face lit up with excitement, filled with hope for a bright future.

But, very quickly!

The harsh reality dealt him another heavy blow!

'Fire Essence Pill, an essential elixir for cultivating the "Fire Essence Technique." During cultivation, one must first use this pill to ignite the internal fire within the liver…'

"Damn it, do I really need a 'Fire Element Pill' as a starting point to learn the 'Fire Element Technique'?"

Han Yi rarely cursed. He hadn't expected that choosing a cultivation method with a fundamental visualization diagram would turn out to be like a chicken rib—a frustrating experience of entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed.

"Moreover, these Fire Essence Pills can be exchanged within the sect, and each one costs several dozen contribution points..."

Fortunately, a few more sentences were added to the cultivation method, stating that the pills used for cultivation could be exchanged within the sect. Unfortunately, Han Yi had just entered the sect and was penniless, without even a single contribution point!

Moreover, Han Yi estimated that this 'Fire Essence Pill' must be an exclusive pill for the inner sect of the Crimson Flame Sect, otherwise why would it force these newly initiated disciples to work so hard?

"No wonder the sect isn't in a hurry to assign tasks to everyone, but instead lets each disciple choose freely... Sigh, it seems I still need to hurry up and follow the path that Master Bai introduced..." Han Yi sighed, his good mood from easily mastering the "Transformation Technique" vanished. Thinking about it, it makes sense; if given a choice, who would want to work for someone else?

Wouldn't it be wonderful for an inner disciple to cultivate at home every day, receive two catties of Crimson Blood Tiger meat from the sect every month, and live in a free house?

However, if you want to cultivate techniques and become stronger, you need to utilize the resources within the sect. These resources are not free, nor can they be purchased with silver; they must be exchanged for contribution points!

When you see your fellow disciples who entered the inner sect at the same time as you taking on missions, receiving rewards, growing rapidly, and becoming high-ranking members of the sect, while you are slowly cultivating with only some Crimson Tiger meat, how can you accept that?

Moreover, the rankings of inner disciples are compiled monthly by disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall. This is similar to the so-called bottom-ranking elimination system in Han Yi's previous life. If someone ranks at the bottom for three consecutive months, they may be demoted to an outer disciple again! Therefore, under such circumstances, inner disciples of the sect cannot afford to be idle. They must not only take on missions and acquire resources to cultivate diligently, but also guard against challenges that could lower their rankings!

In my past life, I was a corporate slave, working overtime like crazy with 996 (9am-9pm, 6 days a week) and having no rest time. Do I still have to struggle in this world?

Han Yi inwardly screamed "No!" and resisted vehemently; he wanted to lie down!

Drinking tea, practicing martial arts, and admiring pretty girls—isn't that wonderful!

Therefore, Han Yi already had a plan in mind...

Everything will be decided tomorrow. I hope everything goes well!

With this thought in mind, he fell into a deep sleep.
