Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 331 Simultaneous Cultivation

Whether it's a difficult question or a simple technique, this new disciple named Han Yi seems to have quite a few questions.

Therefore, Zhong Han would occasionally glance at Han Yi with a questioning look in her eyes.

Han Yi was also quite helpless. Although the course content taught by Zhong Han was the first level of the basic introductory course of Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm, the content was mostly about the laws of Qi and Blood Transformation into Strength, and how to quickly increase the Nine-Bend Strength, etc.

Although the content wasn't difficult, he hadn't even practiced the first level of the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm, so it naturally sounded like gibberish to him.

"Alright, that's all for today's lesson. If you have any questions, you can come to me after class for answers." After lecturing for about two hours, Zhong Han stopped and dismissed the get out of class.

Immediately, the disciples scattered like birds and beasts, leaving in a swarm. Of course, a few who did indeed have problems remained seated, and we approached them one by one to inquire. Han Yi was one of them.

He wasn't in a hurry. He sat leisurely on the futon, watching the people next to him come forward, ask questions, and seek answers.

After most of the people had left, he got up and walked towards Zhong Han.

At this moment, there were two junior sisters who had just started learning. The two little heads with pigtails huddled together, asking questions: "Senior Sister, how can you tell if someone has mastered the first level of the Cold Yin Nine Curves Palm? What are the signs?"

These two junior sisters are not very old, only thirteen or fourteen years old. They are new disciples who joined Han Yi after he became a disciple.

Unlike Han Yi, who joined the sect later in life, they were true direct descendants of Jingtian Manor. Jingtian Manor recruited disciples through several channels: first, by absorbing elite individuals from outside the sect; second, by accepting the children and relatives of disciples from the inner courtyards; and third, through recommendations from its subordinate martial arts schools and strongholds.

These two are the disciples newly recommended this year by Jingtianzhuang's martial arts school in the city.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Han chuckled softly and said in a calm tone, "If you master the first level of the Cold Yin Nine Curves Palm, it will first manifest on your skin, making your skin more delicate and fair."

Secondly, in terms of strength, the Nine-Bend Strength is drawn into the chest, solid and not loose.

Finally, if it's truly impossible to tell from appearance, as a woman, one can check her menstrual blood...

As she said this, she glanced at Han Yi, who had just gotten up and was slowly walking over, and lowered her voice.

Han Yi also stopped in his tracks and waited in place.

Among martial artists, although they are all practitioners and not bound by formalities, there are still many differences between men and women, and it is best to respect those differences. While explaining the situation, Zhong Han glanced at Han Yi and noticed that he was standing at a distance without approaching, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

These days, male martial arts masters who respect women so much and have such delicate feelings are truly rare.

"Alright, do you two understand? When you get back, be sure to practice diligently and don't waste your precious youth," she concluded.

"Yes, Senior Sister!" The two female disciples left with flushed faces.

For the two of them, discussing topics like Tiankui (a type of herbal medicine) still made them feel a little shy.

"Senior Sister." Han Yi stepped forward and bowed in greeting.

"Junior Brother Han, you seemed to have a lot of questions earlier. Did you encounter any problems on the first floor?" Zhong Han asked with a smile.

She stood tall with her back straight, her gaze meeting the other person's, a gentle smile on her face. Anyone who saw her would feel a sense of goodwill towards her. Senior Sister Zhong Han was always like this, whether she was a direct disciple or a member who joined later, like Han Yi. She was very gentle and caring, and she would try her best to treat everyone equally, regardless of their status or position.

This is why, despite its low ranking and lack of resources, many disciples of Jiuqu Academy chose to come here because of Zhong Han's personality.

"Indeed, we encountered quite a few problems," Han Yi did not deny, "but I have another matter to discuss."

After saying that, he took out twenty taels of gold notes from his pocket and handed them over: "Senior sister, thank you for what happened last time."

This was another reason he came to see Zhong Han: to pay back the money he had borrowed last time.

He disliked the feeling of owing someone something or borrowing money and not paying it back; he always felt guilty.

Therefore, once he had made enough money, his first choice was to pay back the money.

Moreover, considering Zhong Han's personality, he didn't repay more than he borrowed; he only repaid what he had borrowed.

I had heard before that someone borrowed money from Zhong Han and repaid a lot more than they owed, which Zhong Han mistakenly thought was a lie and refused to accept.

"Not bad. You found a way so quickly?" Zhong Han smiled as she took the gold note, then glanced at Han Yi. "Are you injured?"

After his fierce battle with Long Shezi yesterday, Han Yi inevitably suffered some minor abrasions and bruises, which he treated with some hemostatic and bruise-reducing medicine.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury from fighting someone, nothing serious," Han Yi said nonchalantly.

"Hmm, it's good that you're alright." Zhong Han nodded. "What problems did you encounter while practicing the Nine Curved Cold Yin Palm? Why haven't you even gotten the basics down yet?"

Her tone was tinged with surprise. She had already cultivated the Nine-Bend Palm to the sixth level, nearing the seventh level of mastery, and was intimately familiar with the manifestations, external conditions, and physical effects of each level. Therefore, with just one glance, she could tell that Han Yi's problem wasn't that he hadn't cultivated the Nine-Bend Palm, but rather that he seemed not to have cultivated it at all.

But how could someone who can become a martial arts master possibly fail to cultivate the first level?

"It's like this..." Han Yi explained helplessly.

Actually, it's nothing serious, just the problem of dissipating one's internal energy. Dissipating one's internal energy damages the body's vital energy and blood, leading to a weakened foundation. The total amount of vital energy and blood will be inherently weaker than others. Basically, after dissipating one's internal energy, the potential of one's physical constitution will decrease by one level.

"A way to cultivate true skills without losing one's power?" Upon hearing this, Zhong Han frowned and remained silent.

There have been other martial arts masters like Han Yi who started learning martial arts halfway through their careers.

However, most people choose to discontinue their practice and start cultivating their true skills again.

After all, no matter what, those who come to Jingtian Manor to become disciples must not have had martial arts skills that are truly powerful.

Therefore, even if one's internal energy is depleted and one's vital energy and blood are damaged, one's strength will be significantly greater than before when one starts cultivating again.

She had never heard of a way like Han Yi's, where one could have the best of both worlds.

Zhong Han thought for a while and then spoke up: "Junior Brother Han, there is no such thing as perfection in the world. Many times, you have to give up something to gain something."

The reason why you need to disperse your previous power when cultivating true skills is for two reasons. First, cultivating too many other skills will affect the purity of the true skill's power, thus increasing the difficulty of breakthroughs. Second, dispersing power will return the amount of vital energy needed to convert true skills.

Therefore, in my opinion, even if one's energy is depleted, it does not necessarily mean that one's future potential will be exhausted.

Dispersing one's cultivation only damages the body and reduces the total amount of vital energy. But in this world, there are many treasures, medicines, and secret manuals that can increase the amount of vital energy and nourish the foundation... "'Increase the total amount of vital energy?' Upon hearing this, Han Yi was taken aback and then fell into deep thought.
