Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 132 Retirement Life

"The black market is located on the border of Yuqingfang. Entering the black market and working as a janitor earns fifty contribution points per month. Although it's not much, it's easy..."

Perhaps feeling he had lost face in front of Han Yi, Cai Yu strode ahead and began explaining things about the black market to Han Yi, trying to salvage his senior brother's dignity.

Han Yi followed Cai Yu along the main road of Yuqingfang, and after several turns, they arrived at the junction of Yuqingfang and Changningfang.

The Crimson Flame Sect's black market has a very special location.

On the left is the bustling Yuqingfang, while on the right is the neglected Changningfang.

Strangely, the facilities in Changningfang were brand new, showing no signs of the dilapidation seen in other places. Even more strangely, the original fences around the market had all been removed, leaving only a surrounding wall.

Walking along the alley, at the end, there is a large gate, and next to it are some houses, pavilions and other buildings.

Inside the pavilion, there was a bamboo and rattan reclining chair covered with animal fur.

A middle-aged man who looked to be about the same age as Cai Yu appeared to be lying on a recliner and snoring.

"Old Wang, get up!"

Cai Yu felt much more relaxed when he returned here, as comfortable as if he were back home.

"Um?

"Next, we'll pay the market entry fee..."

The middle-aged man on the recliner was kicked awake by Cai Yu and mumbled something incoherently.

"Wang Dong, a new guy has arrived!"

"Huh?" The middle-aged man named Wang Dong jumped up from the recliner with a start.

"there?"

He exclaimed with delight.

"Senior Brother Wang Dong!"

Han Yi clasped his hands in a salute and took the opportunity to glance at Wang Dong. Wang Dong's strength was similar to Cai Yu's, and he was also someone who was getting old and had exhausted his potential.

But Han Yi vaguely felt that this person looked familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.

"what?"

Wang Dong was surprised to find that he also had this feeling.

"Junior Brother Han Yi, did you come to the black market with Brother Pan before?"

"Hmm... there must be something like that..."

Han Yi paused slightly, recalling the circumstances of obtaining his first Xuan Yin Stone. At that time, it was indeed Pan Sheng who brought him to the black market, and the person on duty at the entrance seemed to be the same person standing before him.

"Haha, I was wondering why my junior brother looked so familiar. I never would have guessed..."

Wang Dong sighed with emotion. He never expected that Han Yi, who was just a follower of Pan Sheng back then, would now become their colleague. He couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"That's great! So you and Junior Brother Han Yi know each other, Old Wang. It saves me the trouble of introducing you..."

Cai Yu said with a smile from the side.

"Alright, that's about all the work. Junior Brother Han, is there anything else you want to ask?"

After the three of them sat down, Wang Dong and Cai Yu began to tell Han Yi about the specific responsibilities of the black market. Han Yi had already heard a general outline of these things from Huang Ze when he visited him, and what Wang Dong and Cai Yu said was almost the same, except for a few more details.

In the black market, including Han Yi, there are currently four inner disciples: Han Yi, Cai Yu, Wang Dong, and Lin Ping, and eighty outer disciples.

However, Lin Ping was off today and did not attend.

The black market duty is divided into day and night. Outer disciples are in groups of ten, with a total of eight groups. They take turns patrolling the four sides of the black market to prevent anyone from causing trouble and to collect entry fees. However, if there is anything important, they must report it to the inner disciples in time for handling.

Before Han Yi arrived, Cai Yu and the other two worked day and night, which was very arduous.

Now, Han Yi and the other three can work in pairs to share responsibilities.

"Let's settle on this then. Han Yi and I will be in one group, and Wang Dong and Lin Ping will be in another. We'll take turns every seven days, how does that sound?"

"Um…..."

Han Yi nodded in agreement.

The work in the black market was indeed leisurely. He would work for seven days and then rest for seven days. During his rest time, he could go out and take on missions from the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau. There weren't many duties to be performed on weekdays, which was perfect for his cultivation.

"Han Yi, Lin Ping is off today. I'll introduce you to him another day... Let them get to know you first..."

After everything was agreed upon, Wang Dong suddenly looked up and spoke.

"?"

Han Yi was a little confused.

"there…..."

Cai Yu smiled without saying a word and casually pointed.

On an open space, eighty outer disciples were already lined up and waiting.

This open space is located between the gate and an alley. The alley is lined with high walls and has a dark, gray color scheme. Beyond this alley lies the black market.

Beside the open space, there were rows of sheds, which were used by the disciples to rest during night duty. Han Yi quickly scanned the surroundings and then looked at the eighty outer disciples.

With swords at their waists, they were strong and robust. Although they wore ordinary gray robes and their overall strength was only around '7~10' skin refinement level, they all stood tall and full of energy.

"Hello, Master Han!"

The eighty outer disciples shouted in unison, like the deafening sound of gongs and drums, drawing everyone's attention. Their eyes were all fixed on Han Yi, and many people in the black market also turned their gazes toward this place.

I never imagined I'd become a big shot...

Han Yi chuckled to himself, "Who would have thought that the little guy who used to scavenge for food in the mine would be where he is today?"

Immediately, a surge of pride welled up in his heart, and a hint of excitement shone in his eyes. Wasn't this the day he had been training in martial arts?

Afterwards, under Cai Yu's guidance, Han Yi inspected the room where he would be on night duty and learned how to handle daily affairs from Wang Dong. And so, time passed quietly.

Squeak!

On this day, Han Yi was lying on a recliner with an air of composure. On the mahogany table next to him was a set of translucent jade tea set, in which the finest Maojian tea was steaming.

After Han Yi joined Cai Yu and the others on duty twice, he officially began his retirement life in the black market.

Han Yi was in a very good mood. He was served food and drink, and his daily work was taken care of by the outer disciples. He didn't even need to buy the pills for cultivation himself, but instead occasionally got them from Bai Sanren.

Han Yi now only needs to stroll around the black market every morning and evening, which can be considered a way to relieve fatigue and ease the restlessness caused by cultivation.

Although guarding the Black Market only grants fifty contribution points per month, Han Yi had checked within the sect and found that the 'Fire Essence Pills,' essential for cultivating the 'Fire Essence Technique,' could be obtained in quantities sufficient for the initial stage with just one hundred contribution points. This meant that if he slacked off for another two months, he could attempt to learn the 'Fire Essence Technique,' and then find an opportunity to max out his cultivation with Yuan Power, thereby breaking through to the Meridian Opening stage!

In short, everything is developing in the right direction, just as Han Yi predicted!
