Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 246 Flying Dragon Skill

Han Yi composed himself and looked at it carefully.

"Using the Black Serpent Leg as the main framework, combined with the Azure Scale Sword Technique and Flying Swallow Kick... it retains explosive power and endurance, and can inflict internal injuries..."

He hesitated for a moment, wanting to add more effects, but a strange feeling arose in his heart. He knew that too much of a good thing would be bad, and if he asked for more, he probably wouldn't be able to deduce it anymore.

"That's it, let's proceed with the deduction!"

With a thought, something mysterious began to rapidly deplete.

Immediately, a wealth of knowledge, combined with the three martial arts classics deeply imprinted in his mind, began to stir and become active.

One by one, possibilities arise, dissipate, and are eliminated, leading to various changes, which in turn cause his Qi and blood to begin circulating in various feasible sequences.

In just ten breaths.

As the images flashed by, eventually, like a montage, a still-motion animation slowly formed in Han Yi's mind.

It was a strange creature.

With five claws, tiger whiskers, a mane, and a tail, and a body as long as a snake, this is a crimson dragon that roams freely under the blazing sun, as if soaring through the clouds and reaching the heavens.

The system panel began to flash, and in the martial arts section, the Flying Swallow Kick quickly faded and disappeared, then a new change occurred.

Name: Han Yi (17/176)

[Realm]: Early stage of Meridian Opening, First-level Martial Master; Sword Realm: One kill in ten steps; Sword Realm: As heavy as a mountain

[Martial Arts]: Qianyang Gong (Entry-level martial art, Qianyang Jin, Characteristics: Rejuvenation, Evil-Dispelling, Stable Strength 17/30); Unknown Entry-level Martial Arts (Entry-level martial art, not yet mastered) [Martial Techniques]: Benlei Palm Technique (Minor Mastery 11/50, Special Effects: Shattering Stones and Splitting Earth, Frenzied Strike, Can be upgraded); Dual Sword and Saber Technique (Proficient 11/30, Can be upgraded, Special Effects: Concentration, Dual Wielding, Can be upgraded); Golden Muscle Jade Bone Technique (Proficient 8/20, Special Effects: Iron Wall, Can be upgraded)

[Secret Technique]: Moon Concealment (Special Effect: Concealing Breath and Illusion)

[Elemental Power Value]: 22

Han Yi slowly opened his eyes, and a special aura emanated from him, like a scholar who had finally achieved his goal and published a paper after going through many hardships.

In his mind, although the name of this unknown martial art was unknown, he was very clear about its progress, what to practice in the first step and what not to touch, what tonics to take in the second step, and the precautions to take when breaking through in the third step. Moreover, it would be completely complementary and compatible with Qianyang Gong.

Even though he can't practice this martial art yet, he can feel that this new martial art not only retains the explosive power of the Black Snake Leg, but also perfectly integrates the internal injury effect of the Jade Scale Sword Technique and the sustained swiftness effect of the Flying Swallow Leg.

As for why, it's simply because although this new martial art relies on the system's deduction function, its foundation and basis are all Han Yi's basic knowledge.

It can be said that the new martial arts encompass all of Han Yi's current martial arts knowledge, common sense, and various experience books, from martial artist to martial master!

This is the culmination of his hard work, and it will perfectly fit his physical condition!

"Visualize a dragon soaring in the sky; let's call this new martial art the Flying Dragon Skill!"

Han Yi recalled the majestic dragon soaring through the sky in his mind, and thought to himself.

Suddenly, the unknown martial arts displayed by the system slowly changed into the three characters "Flying Dragon Skill".

Name: Han Yi (17/176)

[Realm]: Early stage of Meridian Opening, First-level Martial Master; Sword Realm: One kill in ten steps; Sword Realm: As heavy as a mountain

[Martial Arts]: Qianyang Skill (Entry-level martial art, Qianyang Strength, characteristics: rejuvenation, exorcism, stable strength 17/30); Flying Dragon Skill (Entry-level martial art, not yet mastered)

[Martial Arts]: Thunder Palm Technique (Minor Proficiency 11/50, Special Effects: Shattering Stones and Splitting Earth, Frenzied Strike, Can be Upgraded); Dual Sword and Saber Technique (Proficiency 11/30, Can be Upgraded, Special Effects: Concentration, Dual Wielding, Can be Upgraded); Golden Muscle and Jade Bone Skill (Proficiency 8/20, Special Effects: Iron Wall, Can be Upgraded)

[Secret Technique]: Moon Concealment (Special Effect: Concealing Breath and Illusion)

[Elemental Power Value]: 22

[Deduction complete, consuming 30 Yuan Power Points]

Thirty points of Yuan Power?

Han Yi was stunned. He hadn't expected that this simulation would consume so much Yuan Power.

Of course, although a lot of Yuan energy was consumed this time, it was all used effectively, finding a path for his next step. So he wasn't heartbroken, but rather a little helpless.

Unfortunately, there's no way to reliably replenish one's Yuanli (energy points).

Unlike monster meat resources, which have abundant supply channels, elemental energy is less valuable once used.

These few dozen system points were obtained by him from finding a few blood coins among Bai Yuechou's miscellaneous belongings.

The rest were obtained only after experiencing some strange and demonic events.

"Yuan Power requires absorbing Yin Qi to convert and replenish... Does this mean I always have to go through a lot of trouble to find it?"

Han Yi frowned, some thoughts swirling in his mind.

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. At least I have the martial arts skills to become a second-level martial arts master."

"First, I'll master the Qianyang Gong to its peak, then I'll quickly develop the Flying Dragon Gong's power and become a second-level martial arts master!" he thought as he got up and put on his clothes.

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

The blood-red setting sun slowly sank below the horizon, leaving only half of it on the horizon, with only the menacing red clouds swirling and drifting on the horizon.

The black market, the disciple's hut on guard duty.

"Brother Han, you've arrived!"

Before Han Yi could even open the door, Cai Yu inside had already opened it with a smile and welcomed him in.

"Brother Cai."

Han Yi smiled and clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

As he greeted him, he carefully examined Cai Yu. Cai Yu had a ruddy complexion, a bright and clear complexion, lively eyes, and a lithe figure. Dressed in the blood-trimmed black robes of an inner disciple, he looked quite spirited. He was a world apart from the stiff and rigid Cai Yu of last month!

"This is today's goods register, this is the sales record, and this is the amount of tax payable..."

Cai Yu took out a stack of booklets from the table and handed over the work in a gentle manner.

Han Yi quickly followed and began to examine the area carefully.

"this?"

He suddenly let out a soft "Huh?" and asked in confusion, "Why are the transaction volume and amount of goods so low these past few days?"

Han Yi immediately noticed that something seemed amiss with these details.

The daily transaction volume and profit were less than two-thirds less than before, and the tax paid in the previous day was at least three times that of today!

“Alas, Brother Han, you don’t know this…” Cai Yu sighed and said, “A few days ago, the black market suffered a disaster!” He lowered his voice as he said this, as if afraid of being overheard.

"What does 'suffered a disaster' mean?"

Han Yi was taken aback and quickly pressed for an answer.

Cai Yu seemed very satisfied with Han Yi's performance, and it also seemed that his own desire to share had been completely stimulated by Han Yi's praise. He whispered to Han Yi and slowly told him what had happened.

"A few days ago? When the temperature dropped?" Han Yi immediately realized what he meant and gave a wry smile.

A few days ago, he knew that it was hailing and snowing suddenly one night, and the temperature dropped sharply, but he didn't expect it to have such a big impact.

Now, two-thirds of the transactions on the black market have essentially disappeared.

"Oh, by the way, Brother Han," Cai Yu said casually as he left, "Although that matter wasn't our responsibility, the sect has recently added a few requirements, especially regarding night shifts. We must keep a close eye on the situation at the live goods area, patrol and inspect, and prevent a recurrence of what happened last time."

"Ah."

Han Yi nodded in agreement. Given the magnitude of the losses, establishing this rule was only reasonable.

Afterwards, Cai Yu staggered away, while Han Yi took the booklet he had finished organizing and carefully examined it.

After a while, he looked up, handed the register to Zhang Dongping who was standing to the side, and said, "Alright, go and hand over today's taxes and transaction records to the Internal Affairs Department."

"Yes, Master Han!"

Zhang Dongping took it with both hands, opened the door, and ran towards the Internal Affairs Hall.

Zhang Dongping had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a sturdy build. He wore the standard black robes of an outer disciple and seemed to be a rather honest person.

Like Xiao Ba, he was another minor leader in the black market responsible for the outer disciples. These past few days, Xiao Ba had gone home to rest, so he took over Xiao Ba's work.

"Xiao Ba went home to rest... Well, so much happened last week, it's clear these outer disciples must have worked a lot, they deserve a break..."

Han Yi watched Zhang Dongping's departing figure, lost in thought.

…....

…....

"Concentrate your mind, clear your thoughts, guide your energy with your breath, and circulate your blood throughout your body..."

Inside the red-tiled octagonal pavilion, Han Yi closed his eyes and guided his qi. Following the method of the Flying Dragon Technique, he began to imagine a dragon soaring in the sky in his chest. It kept roaring and accumulating power, but it just wouldn't take off.

"Use intention to guide the body, and use the body to generate strength..."

Han Yi muttered to himself, and the flow of qi and blood in his body instantly changed direction, flowing out from his kidneys and downwards into the Yin Qiao and Yang Qiao meridians. *Poof!*

Just then, he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, staining one corner of his mouth blood red. He felt an intense heat and discomfort in his chest, and a faint pain came from his kidneys.

"As expected, aiming too high still doesn't work..."

Han Yi felt his whole body burning up, and he immediately gave a wry smile.

Because of what happened a few days ago, the quantity of goods has decreased, and the flow of people in this black market has also decreased significantly.

This also allowed Han Yi a lot of time to take the time to familiarize himself with and comprehend the Flying Dragon Skill that he had just deduced.

Since he had nothing better to do, he wanted to explore and try it out. He knew he couldn't develop the Flying Dragon ability in advance, but if he could cultivate the Flying Dragon Force ahead of time, he felt his strength would definitely increase significantly.

However, the idea was beautiful, but reality was harsh; the process wasn't smooth...

"It seems that if I want to cultivate the Flying Dragon Technique and develop internal strength, I really have to follow Bai Yuechou's advice and cultivate the first main cultivation technique to its peak perfection..."

Han Yi wiped away the blood and began to summarize his lessons learned.

The Flying Dragon Skill is mostly leg-based, requiring breakthroughs in the Yin Qiao Meridian and Yang Qiao Meridian, which govern the lower limbs. Once these two meridians are opened, one can be full of energy, move swiftly, and generate strength.

Just now, when I was practicing the Flying Dragon Technique, I saw that my blood and qi were about to break through these two meridians, but unexpectedly, at this moment, a vortex of blood and qi suddenly appeared in the meridian that Qianyang Technique mainly cultivates.

This vortex of Qi and blood is like a black hole, generating a huge pulling sensation, causing the circulation of Qi and blood to become somewhat disordered.

This also caused the Flying Dragon Skill to be interrupted instantly, resulting in some minor internal injuries.

"Is this the hindrance that mixed martial arts bring?"

"Alas... without true qi martial arts, I can only choose this method..." Han Yi sighed, then circulated the Qianyang Gong. A large amount of Qianyang energy naturally emitted a faint coolness, repairing the damaged meridians and internal organs.

After a long while, the heat in his body gradually subsided, and his injuries recovered.

"It seems that for now, my only option is to cultivate the Qianyang Technique to its peak before considering anything else... I'm still lacking in demon beast meat. If I had an unlimited supply of such resources, I probably would have already reached the peak of perfection..."

He had already consumed the few kilograms of Crimson Tiger meat he received from the sect, eating it as a snack, which only increased his progress by two points.

Han Yi sometimes thinks that if he were reborn as a rich kid from a prominent family in this world, that would be so much more comfortable. He could eat monster meat whenever he wanted, unlike now where he has to find a way to buy more after he has finished eating.

"Forget it, forget it. Life is full of disappointments, and there's no such thing as a free lunch..." He stood up from the recliner and boiled another kettle of water for himself, so he could have some hot tea when he returned from his patrol.

He was prepared to stay in this guard post tonight. Anyway, with his current energy as a martial arts master, he wouldn't feel anything even if he didn't sleep all night.

"Call a few people and let's go."

He called out to Zhang Dongping, who was standing to the side, and then five or six men dressed in the uniforms of the outer disciples of the Crimson Flame Sect, carrying knives and lanterns, quickly came over.

Han Yi, carrying a paper lantern that emitted a yellow light, walked into the black market.

He was going to the wooden shack where the goods were kept to check on the condition of the 'live goods' and examine them...

Above the black market, a dark cloud hung in the air. The crescent moon cast its pale light, but it could not penetrate the thin layer of clouds. The alley was silent, with only the faint sound of footsteps echoing through it.
