Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Sixteen: The Treasure Hunter

Suddenly, a pair of eyes filled with ferocious malice and devoid of any emotion shot over!

'He' or rather 'it' seems to be spying on Han Yi!

Before Han Yi could react, the camera suddenly zoomed out.

After he came to his senses and realized that he was still in the cave, he noticed that his clothes were soaked with cold sweat!

But recalling what had just happened, Han Yi couldn't suppress his rising anger!

"The people of an entire county..."

Although Han Yi didn't consider himself a saint, treating living, breathing people like himself as playthings...

He clenched his fist. If one day my strength is sufficient…

"And that gray fog?" Han Yi murmured.

He once heard Pan Sheng say, "If you encounter fog at night, you cannot enter; deep in the mountains lies the Great Yuan."

Could the gray fog be related to that thing?

Recalling that last eye in the image, Han Yi still couldn't help but shudder.

He shook his head, forcing himself to stop thinking about the scene.

Let's see how much elemental energy this 'purification' consumed!

Name: Han Yi (16/86)

[Realm]: Early stage of Bone Refinement (13/100)

[Technique]: Yang Yuan Gong (Incomplete, Proficiency 2/20, can be improved)

[Martial Arts]: Mountain-Shattering Fist (Mortal Rank, Trait: Stone Shattering, Minor Mastery 8/20, can be improved); Basic Swordsmanship (Mortal Rank, Trait: Sword Dance, Minor Mastery 2/20, can be improved); Flying Swallow Kick (Low-Grade Yellow Rank, Beginner 5/10, can be improved)

[Elemental Power Value]: 10

[Demon Artifact]: Blood Plum Blossom (Purified, ???)

"Hmm, not bad. My lifespan has increased by five years, and my martial arts have also made breakthroughs in battle. This will save me a lot of Yuan energy!"

"No, I have so much Yuan Power, don't I have 50 points?"

"Spit out the system!"

After the system purified the 'Blood Plum Cloth', Han Yi felt that the temperature inside the cave had returned to normal, and the cold and damp atmosphere from the beginning was gone.

"There's even such a demonic artifact?"

Han Yi's eyes flickered as he looked at yet another unfamiliar word on the system.

"The purified 'Plain Cloud Handkerchief' has a faint shimmering light on its surface, it doesn't look like an ordinary item!"

Han Yi tried using strange incantations, gestures, and even dripping blood, but no matter how he manipulated the handkerchief, there was no reaction.

Does this series of question marks really mean I can't use it?

"No, it can't be my problem. It's because this 'Suyun Handkerchief' women's outfit doesn't suit my masculine temperament!"

Han Yi employed a self-deceptive, Ah Q-like approach to mental victory, with remarkable results.

"Never mind, let's put this 'Blood Plum Handkerchief' away first and see what's in this cave."

In the corner of the cave

Several jet-black 'insects' lay dying on the wall, their malicious compound eyes fixed on Han Yi's movements.

The hideous mouthparts and bizarre limbs are things that most people would only see in their nightmares! "Alright, alright, buy one get three free, first recharge bonus, right?"

Han Yi was not afraid but happy. He was just feeling sorry for the loss of his Yuan Power, and now a 'gift package' was coming his way.

不过他发现这几只‘阴气虫’头顶飘着的数值分别为‘16~18’、‘15~17’、‘14~16’。

"Also, these 'Yin Qi Insects' seem to have shrunk considerably in size compared to the one we encountered last time. I hope their Yuan Qi value hasn't decreased..." Han Yi frowned slightly.

Han Yi was about to touch the three 'Yin Qi Insects' when a thought popped into his head, and he withdrew his hand.

He casually took out the fox fur gloves, which he had bought from the peddler and were said to be extremely warm, from his package.

"It seems like it can't be absorbed like this. It looks like the only way to activate the system right now is through physical contact!"

"But it doesn't feel cold anymore, and it feels nice to touch..." Han Yi's eyes lit up. He saw a 'yin energy worm' being brutally ravaged in his hands, a perfectly normal worm being rubbed and rubbed in his clumsy hands.

'Yin Qi Beast', 'Yin Qi Bird'...

Han Yi sculpted all sorts of bizarre and wonderful poses.

"Hmm, physical objects like daggers have no effect on it, and sprinkling lime powder and kerosene on this 'yin-qi worm' has no reaction either..."

"I only feel a little fear when facing flames..."

"This 'Yin Qi Insect' seems to have no fixed form, formed entirely from condensed Yin Qi. No wonder it dissipated after being absorbed..."

Han Yi then took out several more bottles and jars and conducted various experiments on the 'Yin Qi Insect'.

"However, this Yin Qi Insect feels bouncy and smooth to the touch, and its shape can be shaped at will. If this were my previous life, wouldn't it be a boon for many single men?" A 'strange' shape appeared in his hand!

Han Yi's filthy thoughts seemed to have provoked the 'Yin Qi Worm'. As if it could not bear the humiliation, the 'Yin Qi Worm', which was originally like a dead object in his hand, suddenly jumped and rushed towards his face.

"Hmph, such a trivial skill, how dare you show off your limited abilities before an expert!" Han Yi was secretly annoyed as the 'otherworldly Fijian cup' was smeared in his face.

With a wave of his hand, the remaining two 'yin energy worms' curled up together instantly turned to ashes!

[Elemental Power Value]: 40

Han Yi got up, preparing to search the side cave.

"Hey, this is it?"

Han Yi's expression was solemn. Although these weapons had been corroded beyond repair by the giant spider silk, the key point was that these longswords were clearly the standard weapons of the Crimson Flame Sect's guards!

"Could this be the same as last time..." Han Yi had a thought. He tore open the dense spider web, and dozens of corpses appeared before his eyes, obviously dried up by the 'giant human-faced spider'.

Several of the corpses were dressed in black short-sleeved shirts belonging to the outer sect of the Crimson Flame Sect, while one of them wore a gray robe with the character "宝" (treasure) on his chest.

He had heard people describe the clothing characteristics of the disciples of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion before, and now he could indeed match them up.

Sure enough, Han Yi sighed. This must be the same escort mission the guard team carried out last time to protect the treasure hunters.

I'd heard that something had gone wrong while the Guardians were on a treasure hunt mission, but I never expected to find their remains here.

"Since we're fellow disciples, you should step forward and tone it down!"

Of course, the philanthropist Han readily accepted any usable relics.

“This jade pendant doesn’t seem to be an ordinary thing.” The treasure hunter had a jade pendant hanging from his waist. The surface of the pendant was as white as jade, and it felt as warm and smooth as mutton fat. A large character ‘探’ (explorer) was engraved on it, but a crack on it ruined the overall beauty.

"Hey, there's a diary here too." Han Yi pulled a booklet from the treasure hunter's body. The booklet seemed to be made of some kind of unknown animal hide, and it hadn't been corroded.
