Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 153 Crimson Blood Spirit Rice

It is said that this rice is grown by infusing the blood of demonic beasts, and it takes more than a day to grow. It requires a year of continuous watering to produce. This rice can strengthen the body and improve the health of martial artists if consumed for a long time.

However, its yield is extremely low, with only ten catties of spirit rice produced per mu (unit of land area). Therefore, this product is extremely rare, and no force in Anyan City has the resources to cultivate it.

They bought this spirit rice from Xin'an Prefecture at a high price. Part of it was for their own children to improve their strength, and the other part was to be given to the children of powerful families as a favor.

"Okay, if you're not going, I will! Come with me!"

Manager Liu flicked his sleeve and led his steward toward the storeroom.

"Liu Fangxi!" Madam Liu stomped her feet in anger.

"You silly woman! Stop arguing! Read the letter, and remember to burn the envelope after you've finished reading it!"

At this moment, Manager Liu handed the letter over again. Madam Liu looked at the serious expression on her husband's face, reached out, took it, and slowly unfolded it.

-------------------

Wow

Han Yi gently turned the pages, reading the book in his hands.

In the Bai family courtyard, the nanmu wood windows carved with bats and goldfish were wide open. The fragrance of roses baked by the sun wafted through the windows, so strong it filled the nose and so warm it made one's head spin.

Today was a rare sunny day, and Han Yi was basking in the sunlight, examining the "Bear Claw Skill" he had obtained from a hidden compartment in Jiang Cheng's house. Although he had some talent in fist and palm techniques, he didn't plan to practice the "Bear Claw Skill." He didn't care for techniques that couldn't be applied to internal energy, and he really didn't have any extra cultivation resources.

Furthermore, this martial art emphasizes straightforwardness, forcefulness, and power, and the corresponding fighting style can be summed up in one word – recklessness!

But Han Yi prefers bursts of speed and sustained agility; brute force is simply not his fighting style.

Therefore, he was preparing to sell this martial art along with the refined iron bear claws he had acquired, but he was troubled about where to sell them.

This thing can't be seen in the light!

"Or, take it to the black market? No, no..." Han Yi rejected the idea. Although it's called the black market, there probably aren't many people who would buy something like this. Besides, the black market is full of people and all sorts of eyes. If they recognize him, that wouldn't be good.

"Sigh, it seems I'll have to ask Master Bai again, see if he has any good connections..." Han Yi put down his book and sighed.

However, judging by the days, the two of them should be back by now…

Perfect timing, I also got some rare food.

Immediately, Han Yi returned to the house, walked straight to a sack of rice, and grabbed a handful of rice.

This rice is entirely blood red and has a slightly fishy smell, which is somewhat unpleasant.

This is fifty catties of Crimson Blood Spirit Rice. Whether eaten raw, cooked, or used to brew wine, it can invisibly enhance a martial artist's Qi and blood. Among these methods, eating it raw results in the least nutrient loss, the best effect, and the greatest enhancement of Qi and blood.

Unfortunately, this rice, if not processed, is extremely coarse and has a strong fishy smell, making it unpalatable.

That day, after he dealt with Jiangcheng, he returned to the black market to continue his duty. He then asked someone to write back to Manager Liu, and the next day he received a gift from Manager Liu in return.

Originally, he thought it was just some ordinary rice and was about to refuse it, but unexpectedly, Manager Liu subtly reminded him that this rice was quite valuable and would be of great benefit to martial artists, so he accepted it.

raging!

Inside the stove, flames fiercely licked the bottom of the pot, causing a large amount of steam to accumulate inside.

Whoosh!

Han Yi lifted the pot lid, and a waft of steam rushed out. A pot of bright red spirit rice came into view, each grain crystal clear and plump.

However, as the pot was boiled, a faint fishy smell also wafted up.

Han Yi picked up a spoon, scooped up a spoonful, took a bite, and frowned: "The texture is indeed not as delicate as regular fragrant rice, and it has a slightly fishy smell... It seems that my cooking skills can only go so far..."

He was a little helpless. In his previous life, he made a living by ordering takeout and eating out. Even now, he is still a kitchen novice. He is completely clueless about cooking.

Now, he's starting to miss Bai Sanren a little; Bai Sanren's cooking skills are so much better than his!

"Hmm, the effect is indeed quite good!"

After eating the Crimson Blood Spirit Rice, Han Yi felt a surge of heat rising from his stomach, and his blood and qi became more active, with his total blood and qi increasing slightly.

On the panel, his cultivation level also increased slightly.

If you could eat this kind of rice every day for a year, I believe it would definitely increase your blood and energy levels.

Unfortunately, Manager Liu said that this Crimson Blood Spirit Rice could not be bought with money in Anyan City. It required a lot of connections and could be specially ordered from the prefectural city. It was only available in limited quantities. In other words, Manager Liu implied that only those prominent families were qualified to buy it.

"Let's forget about it. True masters never rely on external things; they all rely on their own hard work and cultivation!"

Han Yi, unable to reach the grapes, consoled himself with the saying "sour grapes." *Squeak*

Just then, the courtyard gate suddenly opened, and a hearty laugh rang out.

"Hey Han, have you missed us lately?"

Bai Sanren laughed heartily and strode over. He was wearing his usual white robes, a smile on his face, and carrying a package as he entered.

"Brother Yi, do I look good in this outfit?" Behind him, Qianxue was not wearing her usual bright yellow ruqun, but a bright red, tight-fitting dress with a white silk shawl, which made her waist look particularly slender and gave her a mature woman's appearance.

Han Yi's eyes lit up immediately. When they were together, Qianxue was always wearing either a loose and bright ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) or a chest-wrapping martial arts outfit. But now, after changing into well-fitting clothes, she immediately gave off a different vibe.
