Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 139 Shrinking Bones and Disguising One's Appearance

Master Jiang Xiu and Feng Yingying turned pale and trembled as they looked behind them.

Before they could turn around, a pair of hands, like iron clamps, first loosened, then tightened, and grabbed their necks one by one.

boom!

The two of them were pressed down into the chairs like little chicks.

"Go ahead and fight! Why did you stop?"

Han Yi's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared intently at the two of them.

He's registered at "Liu's Rice Shop" and receives a stipend; if he doesn't act now, when will he?

Besides, he has now realized that after meeting people, regardless of whether they are sick or not, he asks them to buy talisman water and spend money. This is exactly the style of the "Grain God Sect"!

For some reason, the "Gushen Cult," which originally only operated in Changningfang, has extended its reach to Changlefang.

Even though he wasn't affiliated with "Liu's Rice Shop," he had no fondness for this sect.

Upon hearing this, the two looked up at Han Yi, trembling like leaves.

Although Han Yi was only a young man, he was dressed in black martial arts attire, which only martial artists would wear, and he looked like a gatekeeper or guard specially hired by "Liu's Rice Shop".

'Damn it, that wretched maid Feng Yingying didn't mention that there would be martial artists guarding this rice shop! I must report this to the sect leader when I get back!'

If they had known that a martial artist like Han Yi was there, they would never have rashly come to preach!

Master Jiang Xiu was filled with resentment. Originally, he and his companion had planned to go to the "Liu's Rice Shop" because it seemed to have some money but no powerful backing. They thought they could make a fortune there and perhaps even bring Madam Liu into the sect.

But just when success seemed within reach, an obstacle suddenly appeared out of nowhere!

"Young Master Han..."

"How about we leave it at that..."

Manager Liu stepped forward to mediate and persuaded Han Yi to let go of his hand. Manager Liu was a businessman who followed the principle of "harmony brings wealth".

Although he was slapped, he swallowed his anger and kept his grievances to himself, considering the "Valley God Sect" behind Master Jiang Xiu and Feng Yingying. He then spent five taels of silver to buy the so-called "talisman water".

After all, you can only be a thief for a thousand days, not a thief for a thousand days.

This time, Han Yi was there and managed to defuse the situation in time. But if Han Yi weren't there one day, and he were to offend the "Valley God Cult" again, they'd stick to him like glue, and his business would be over! Since his boss had spoken, Han Yi had no choice but to let go. He didn't have a better option; he couldn't very well kill two ordinary people in front of everyone…

After receiving the silver, Daoist Jiang Xiu and Feng Yingying hurriedly slipped through a small gap beside Han Yi, like deserters fleeing in disarray, and quickly exited through the back door of the rice shop.

"Young Master Han, we really owe you a great debt this time..."

Manager Liu sighed deeply, and Madam Liu beside him also looked distressed, with the expression of someone who had just survived a disaster.

Han Yi smiled slightly, exchanged a few polite words, and didn't say much more. He was just doing his job, since he was being paid to do what was right.

As they were talking, he followed Manager Liu into the inner hall.

"Young Master Han, please wait a moment..." After exchanging only a few words, Manager Liu went into the inner room.

Soon, Manager Liu returned to the inner room, carrying a tray covered with red silk.

He placed the tray on the mahogany table and pushed it towards Han Yi.

Han Yi took the red silk and glanced at it. Inside were two rows of large, shiny silver ingots, ten in total, each weighing ten taels.

"Manager Liu, is this month's allowance too high?" Han Yi looked up at Manager Liu.

"Not much, one hundred taels of silver. Thirty-five taels is this month's allowance, but the previous allowance was based on the Bone Refining stage. However, I heard that Young Master Han recently broke through to the Blood Refining stage, so the extra silver is a congratulatory gift for you!" Manager Liu said with a smile.

"Furthermore, now that Young Master Han has advanced to the Blood Refining stage, his treatment will be improved, and the contract will also be changed. I wonder if Young Master Han wants to continue to be a nominal member, or to become a retainer of our family... The previous contract stipulated that we, the rice shop, would be given priority in signing the contract..." Han Yi walked out of "Liu's Rice Shop" with a heavy purse in his pocket, satisfied.

After the discussion, he chose to continue working at the rice shop, and his salary was greatly improved, with his monthly allowance increasing from thirty-five taels of silver to sixty taels of silver!

In other words, Han Yi basically doesn't have to do anything and can receive sixty taels of silver every month for free.

The reason why "Liu's Rice Shop" treated Han Yi so generously was partly because of his status as an inner disciple of the Crimson Flame Sect. However, during their conversation, Han Yi also realized that Manager Liu was a kind and honest person.

Therefore, Han Yi felt that he should do something. He was just taking money every month without doing anything, so it was time to do some work.

Otherwise, he himself would feel guilty.

After all, when Master Jiang Xiu left just now, his eyes were darting around and his hands were clenched tightly, clearly indicating that he was unwilling to accept it.

Moreover, when Han Yi came to collect the silver, he naturally used his true identity.

What if the "Valley God Cult" has a change of heart and comes looking for trouble again, disturbing his peaceful life? Wouldn't that lead to endless troubles?

Even if we don't go looking for trouble with Han Yi, if the "Valley God Cult" comes to "Liu's Rice Shop" to cause trouble, Han Yi will still have to take action again.

Moreover, Han Yi is a grateful and empathetic person. The manager of "Liu's Rice Shop" has been so kind to him, so he doesn't mind nipping the trouble in the bud!

As the saying goes, remove the root of the problem to prevent future troubles!

Another important reason is that Han Yi is very interested in this so-called "Valley God Sect". Can a bowl of "talisman water" really cure this strange disease?

After leaving "Liu's Rice Shop," Han Yi's facial muscles twitched, and his bones cracked incessantly. In an instant, a muscular giant, nearly two meters tall with a wild face, appeared in the alley. This man would be called Li Kui!

This is a disguise created by Han Yi using the "Transformation Technique" - a bone-shrinking and disguise characteristic.

"Body Manifestation Technique" is a special martial art of the lower grade of Yellow Rank, which only involves the operation of the body's bones and muscles.

As a martial artist in the Blood Refining stage, Han Yi's tendons were like a bowstring, and his bones were like refined steel. All 206 bones in his body could stretch freely and easily. He mastered the "Body Transformation Technique" in just half a month.

That wasn't the end of it. Han Yi then put on a black cloth hat, so that others would subconsciously think that what was under the hat was his true appearance. Little did they know that this was just Han Yi's second layer of disguise!

In this wave, Han Yi is standing on the third level!
