Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 131 Cai Yu

The next day

Sanzhongfang

In the early morning, Zhongdian was peaceful and serene. The warm air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and grass. The great sun rose in the east, shining on the several halls in the square, making the whole building look magnificent.

This is the core square of the Crimson Flame Sect, where the council hall, the external affairs hall, the law enforcement hall, and the internal affairs hall are neatly arranged.

Yesterday, as agreed with Han Yi and Huang Ze, he arrived at the entrance of the Internal Affairs Hall early.

"Hey, you must be Junior Brother Han Yi, right?"

"Someone called me?" Han Yi looked up at the sound and saw that the speaker was a middle-aged man in his thirties. He was of average build, with sparse hair and a pair of small, date-shaped eyes that darted around in their sockets, making him look extremely slick.

"I am... I don't know who this senior brother is..."

Han Yi asked cautiously.

Yesterday, Huang Ze only asked him to come to the Internal Affairs Hall at this time, but didn't mention anything else.

"Come, come, I'm Cai Yu. Didn't you want to take on a job in the black market? This morning I'll take you to register, and then show you around so you can get familiar with our Internal Affairs Hall. Elder Huang has already instructed that you be treated well. Come, let's go register first..."

A middle-aged man who identified himself as Cai Yu greeted Han Yi with a smile.

"good…..."

Although he couldn't stand Cai Yu's greasy manner, Han Yi followed along since it was Huang Ze's arrangement.

"Our Internal Affairs Hall is mainly responsible for various affairs within the city..."

As the two walked, Cai Yu began to introduce Han Yi to some information about the Internal Affairs Hall, but this information was all already known to Han Yi and was common knowledge.

It was still early, and there were only a few scattered people at the registration counters.

"This is the new recruit registration area. Han Yi, go register first, and then I'll show you around." After entering the main hall of the Internal Affairs Hall, Cai Yu led Han Yi to the new recruit registration area with practiced ease. He called out to a registering disciple, "Junior Brother Xu, come and register Junior Brother Han Yi..."

Unexpectedly, the disciple registering inside looked up upon hearing this, glanced at Cai Yu with disdain, and then turned to Han Yi: "New disciple? Show me your identification token, I'll process your paperwork..." "401?"

When the registered disciple saw the waist token that Han Yi took out, he exclaimed in surprise, attracting the attention of many people around him.

"Are you Han Yi, who defeated Song Qing and won first place in the sect's minor competition?"

Ignoring the surprised looks of others, he loudly asked Han Yi.

"Is he Han Yi?"

"The waist token is here; it should be correct. It's said that Song Qing carried two magical artifacts that day, and even a magical artifact-level armor..."

"Is Song Qing still this cunning? How could Han Yi actually defeat him..."

"Um... that's me, what's wrong?" Han Yi frowned slightly, he had already heard the discussions among the people in the hall.

It seems that news of his defeat of Song Qing has already spread throughout the sect. His talent has surpassed that of others; going to the black market to lay low is truly a wise choice. Han Yi sighed inwardly.

"Nothing much, it's just that it's rare for a contestant to come to the Internal Affairs Hall to win a small competition!"

The registered disciple chuckled, seemingly pleased to see a powerful figure join the Internal Affairs Hall.

After all, there is competition between each branch of the temple. Every three years, there is a grand competition where branches compete against each other.

The Internal Affairs Hall has been at the bottom twice in a row, resulting in a significant reduction in the resources allocated to its disciples. Moreover, many of the more powerful new disciples have chosen to join other halls. The strong will remain strong, and the weak will remain weak. If this continues, the Internal Affairs Hall will have no chance of turning things around!

Han Yi won first place in this sect competition. Although the competition is not as prestigious as the sect competition, Han Yi must have some skills to defeat Song Qing.

"Junior Brother Han, I wonder what kind of job you'd like to do in the Internal Affairs Hall? I have some connections there, so I'll put in a good word for you."

The attitude of the registered disciples suddenly changed, and they became very enthusiastic.

"Junior Brother Xu, no need, no need..."

"Junior Brother Han Yi has already decided to go to the black market with me..."

At this moment, Cai Yu quickly stepped forward and spoke to the registered disciples.

"black market?"

The registered disciple frowned and said, "Senior Brother Cai Yu, you're not just trying to fool others because you think no one else is willing to patrol the black market, are you?"

'So Cai Yu is also on duty in the black market. No wonder Huang Ze arranged for him to receive me...'

Han Yi glanced at Cai Yu. This person's overall strength was '32~42'. At this age, breaking through to the Blood Refining stage, he had probably already exhausted his potential.

It's no wonder that the disciples of the Internal Affairs Hall didn't speak to Cai Yu with much respect.

"How could that be? If you don't believe me, ask Junior Brother Han."

Cai Yu gave an awkward smile and pointed at Han Yi.

"Yes, I'm going to the black market..."

Han Yi nodded.

Squeak

The disciple, disregarding his duties, pushed back his chair, stood up, and peeked out.

He earnestly advised, "Junior Brother Han Yi, don't think I'm being nosy. In our Internal Affairs Hall, the black market is considered a retirement home. You're so young and your combat strength is so strong... You should go to a place like Ming City to fully utilize your talents..."

Han Yi simply smiled without saying a word. He had already made up his mind to hide in the black market.

Finally, Cai Yu couldn't stand it any longer and stopped the registering disciples from speaking. "What a pity, what a pity..."

As the registering disciple held Han Yi's waist token and filled out the register, he kept muttering to himself.

"Here are the standard uniforms and swords of our Crimson Flame Sect. When we are guarding the Black Market, Junior Brother Han, you will have to wear these clothes when you go out."

"Furthermore, if you wear this outfit when you're out, ordinary people won't cause you any trouble, which will save Junior Brother Han a lot of trouble."

After registering, Cai Yu took Han Yi away from the registration office to collect some sect benefits.

Han Yi looked closely and saw that the clothes were all black, with a red line resembling a flame at the corner, which was the standard uniform of the inner disciples.

The sword, with its sharp blade and golden-red body, had a cluster of red silk cloth on its pommel. Although it couldn't compare to Han Yi's Xuan Tie sword, it was still a fine weapon, and it was the standard sword of the inner sect. "Excellent, this outfit fits perfectly, the size is just right!"

After Han Yi changed his clothes, Cai Yu was immediately struck by his appearance.

Han Yi was dressed in black with red trim. His sharply defined face was as cold and stern as if it had been sculpted. With a long sword at his waist, he exuded a unique kind of power.

"In that case, let's head to the black market as soon as possible and familiarize ourselves with the job..."

Han Yi smiled faintly and said to Cai Yu.

"yes…..."

Cai Yu seemed to be intimidated by Han Yi's aura. He was stunned for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
