Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 202 Lian Chengyue

'This… I knew it, this kind of problem would definitely happen!'

Han Yi wore a calm smile, appearing nonchalant, but inwardly he was torn between two conflicting emotions, unsure how to explain himself.

According to Bai Sanren, ever since that incident, Lian Chengyue has been the most hostile towards men, and a handsome stranger like Han Yi is especially targeted by her!

He seemed to sense a faint, scrutinizing gaze surrounding him, constantly examining the areas where his qi and blood were concentrated, bringing him immense pressure.

This was precisely the scrutinizing gaze of Lian Chengyue, who sat in the superior position.

Han Yi had no choice but to fully utilize the Iron Wall characteristic of the Golden Muscle Jade Bone Technique, compressing his qi and blood to the limit and trying to contain it as much as possible. 'Hmm, this can't go on. Once my qi and blood are compressed to the limit, I can't maintain it for long. It seems I really need to find a martial art that can contain qi and blood…'

He sighed inwardly, feeling somewhat helpless. Breaking through to the Meridian Opening stage was something he hadn't expected. His previous plan was to defend the Black Market, exchange contribution points for 'Fire Essence Pills,' and then try to enter the Inner Sect's cultivation technique, "Fire Essence Skill."

During this period of downtime, he originally intended to search for related martial arts techniques, such as those that could conceal one's aura or increase explosive power. However, before he could do any of these things, he entered the realm of "Yang Yuan Gong" and gained strength!

But Han Yi was also somewhat relieved, because after entering the realm of "Yang Yuan Gong", he seemed to have truly broken the drawback of "not being able to cultivate multiple techniques at the same time". Now his main cultivation technique, "Qian Yang Gong", seemed to be able to be cultivated with any technique. In other words, he could really try to cultivate multiple techniques and become a true all-rounder!

However, how should we deal with the current situation?

"Ahem... I have something to say..." Bai Sanren couldn't stand it anymore, so he stood up and stood in front of Han Yi, blocking Lian Chengyue's view and allowing Han Yi, who was about to experience a blood qi fluctuation, to breathe a sigh of relief.

Bai Sanren shouted indignantly, "Lian Chengyue, Han Yi is someone I brought with me. I dare to swear on my life that he is not a malicious person. Moreover, no matter what, he truly saved me and Qianxue!"

Bai Qianxue, who was standing to the side, seemed to realize something as well. She ran up to Lian Chengyue and said, "Mother, yes, Grandpa Bai is right. I've known Brother Yi for a long time. He can't be a bad person!"

Brother Yi!

Upon hearing this, Lian Chengyue's face immediately changed color, but then her expression relaxed and returned to normal. She said, "So, I was judging you by my own petty standards?"

"Master Bai, it's only natural for Daoist Yanyue to have doubts, but I have indeed been hiding something from you regarding this matter..." Han Yi laughed heartily, then suddenly stood up and took something off his neck: "Daoist Yanyue, please take a look. This is something I obtained by chance. Although I don't know its specific ingredients, it seems to have the effect of calming the mind and invigorating the spirit. It's incredibly miraculous!"

"It was this thing that helped me break free from the illusion!"

In Han Yi's palm, a jade statue of Maitreya Buddha, dressed in a kasaya, with bare chest and breasts, smiling amiably, and carrying a cloth bag, sat on the ground, catching everyone's eye.

As Lian Chengyue, who was sitting upright, raised her hand, and without any apparent effort, the jade Buddha in Han Yi's hand seemed to be pulled by a great force, and it floated directly over.

Lian Chengyue grasped the jade Buddha with a pinch of her hand.

'Her strength is indeed unfathomable!'

Han Yi's expression hardened. Just now, he felt a gentle force, completely different from the Rejuvenating Force and the Evil-Breaking Force, brush past his palm.

If the Exorcising Force is as masculine as the blazing sun, and the Rejuvenating Force is as warm as the morning sun, then the force cultivated by Lian Chengyue is like the gentle moonlight.

What's even more outrageous is that he could only release his strength from his palms at most, and he would be unable to support himself if the force was more than an inch away from his body. But Lian Chengyue seemed to be able to release his strength from all parts of his body, and in terms of the distance of release, it was probably more than ten feet!

A martial artist who has mastered the power of the meridians is truly terrifying!

"This item is indeed somewhat strange!"

Lian Chengyue stroked the small jade Buddha with her fingers, a strange look flashing in her eyes.

Jade Buddha pendants are not uncommon; they are usually carved from materials such as jadeite, white jade, and Hetian jade. She comes from a prominent family and has a deep understanding of this type of jade.

But this thing Han Yi is wearing...

She examined it closely, but couldn't discern what material the small jade Buddha was made of. Its surface was crystal clear and lustrous, possessing a spiritual aura, seemingly fragile like glass, yet even applying force couldn't leave a mark. The areas she touched were incredibly warm to the touch, and a slight coolness seeped into the depths of her mind, refreshing and invigorating her spirit!

Perhaps this truly is a rare treasure…that's why this person was able to see through the illusion and awaken from it…

At this moment, Lian Chengyue's vigilance relaxed a bit. Although she hadn't seen through Han Yi's strength just now, she could vaguely sense that this person was not weak, at least at the late stage of Blood Refinement.

As for the possibility that Han Yi is a Qi Opening Martial Master, she didn't even consider that possibility. Han Yi was too young; how could someone his age be a Qi Entering Martial Master?

Such a person of extraordinary talent may only have appeared in that one person in decades!

Furthermore, according to Qianxue, the monster they encountered was at most skilled at using drugs to ambush people, and its own strength was not strong. If this person could wake up from the illusion and secretly use a warding item like the "Sunfire Arrow" to launch a sneak attack, it would indeed be possible to resolve everything.

It seems that perhaps she loved her daughter too much and was too cautious... Thinking of this, her expression softened a little.

So she used her invisible force to gently return the small jade Buddha to Han Yi, who then put it back on his neck.

"Young Master Han, I was presumptuous just now. Please forgive me!"

Lian Chengyue picked up her teacup and apologized to Han Yi.

"Master Yanyue, you're too kind. Everyone has a sense of caution, I understand!" Han Yi replied with a smile, picking up the teacup beside him.

However, after he picked up his teacup, he realized an embarrassing situation: ever since he came into the room, there had been a tense exchange of words, and he hadn't even poured tea into his own teacup yet!

"Young Master Han, I was in a bit of a daze today and forgot to serve tea to my guest. Please forgive me!" But before Han Yi could speak, Lian Chengyue became anxious. She waved away Xiao Qing, who was about to pour tea for Han Yi, and stepped down from the main seat herself.

She went to the charcoal brazier in the middle of the room, reached out and untied the lid of the purple clay teapot. Rich steam mixed with the aroma of milk wafted out and turned into white vapor rising.

A few bright red rosebuds occasionally bob in the milky white milk tea.

"This is a new product that's popular in the city, called Fragrant Milk Tea. It's said to have calming and nourishing properties."

Lian Chengyue grabbed a handful of spices from the condiment dish next to her and sprinkled them in.

Then, she gently pressed her palm on the table, seemingly without using any force, and the tea set that the group had placed on the table was pulled over by her with great force.

'I wonder what kind of cultivation method the Master of the Hidden Moon Temple practices, and what effects or characteristics the energy he generates possesses, that it is so gentle and sticky.'

Although he had just witnessed Lian Chengyue use his strength, Han Yi still felt a sense of emotion.

Wow!

The smooth, silky white liquid, like milk, poured from the spout of the purple clay teapot into a cup and bowl, and was then handed to Han Yi. The sweet, milky aroma filled the air, refreshing and delightful.

The tense atmosphere inside the room eased considerably.

"Qianxue, you've been away for so long, what have you learned?" Lian Chengyue asked gently as she poured milk tea into her cup.

"I learned a lot: never enter a forest, never cross a river. Oh, and we even encountered robbers a few times... and a big tiger too..." Qianxue held the steaming hot teacup in both hands, sipping her milk tea slowly as she recounted her experiences.

Lian Chengyue, too, listened patiently with a gentle smile.

…....

"Delicious! Mother, I want more!" Qianxue raised her right hand and handed over the teacup again. "As the saying goes, kindness must be repaid. Young Master Han, you have helped my daughter so many times, what would you like to repay us?"

Lian Chengyue refilled Qianxue's teacup and asked.

At first, Qianxue's experiences seemed interesting, but the more she listened, the more annoyed she became. The reason was that all of Qianxue's stories involved a strange man named Han Yi.

Could it be that Qianxue has been living with this person all this time?

She grew impatient and intended to repay Han Yi with several high-value items to prevent a certain possibility from happening.

"This..." Han Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "Daoist, Qianxue and I are just friends. It is only natural for friends to help each other. How can we measure value by material things!"

"Gold, silver, and treasures, houses and mansions—you don't need them?"

"unnecessary."

"Breakthrough pills, martial arts manuals, divine weapons—you don't need them?"

"unnecessary."

"The Visualization Diagram for Entering the Energy Realm, the key to breaking through the meridians, is it unnecessary?"

"No need! Daoist Master, between friends, only sincerity can be exchanged for sincerity, how can it be compared to external things!"

"Good, good, good!!!" Lian Chengyue laughed when Han Yi snatched the prize away, but there was no warmth in her smile.

If Han Yi were to make exorbitant demands, using her gratitude as leverage to ask for valuable things like a breakthrough pill, a meditation diagram for entering the inner strength stage, or even the secret to breaking through the meridians, she would actually feel relieved.

Those things are nothing but external objects!

But there's no such thing as a free lunch, and certainly no easy way to get something for nothing. What falls from the sky are only natural disasters and man-made calamities! Having lived to be over fifty and experienced the full spectrum of life's joys and sorrows, Lian Chengyue deeply agrees with this principle and regards it as her guiding principle in life!

Therefore, if someone is wholeheartedly good to you without asking for anything in return, this person is either after material things, or after your soul, or even has ulterior motives!

But Han Yi, that kid, didn't want it at all, only saying that he wanted to maintain a good relationship with his daughter...
