Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 359 Troublemaking (Part 1)

Han Yi slowly activated his Reverse Scale State. Inside his body, the Qianyang Force and the Youlong Force merged and exploded from the left and right, causing his entire body to slowly expand and grow larger.

Inside the body, a blazing, fiery fusion line emerged from the dantian and traveled throughout the body.

This fused force, because of its fierce and explosive nature, was full of masculine energy, and he called it Pure Yang Force.

As usual, whenever he uses the Reverse Scale state, all sorts of negative emotions such as rage, cruelty, and garrulousness will surge into his heart, and he may even have the urge to torture and kill others and wantonly slaughter everything.

In this state, all his vital energy and blood secretion will be greatly enhanced, resulting in a significant increase in strength, defense, and speed. However, his emotions and personality will also become brutal and ruthless, extremely aggressive, and even somewhat insane.

This is perhaps one of the prices for gaining immense power, and it is also the fundamental reason why he dares not maintain the Reverse Scale state for a long time, and can only use it as a trump card to unleash power in desperate situations.

But now...

One breath, three breaths, ten breaths...

Han Yi, who maintained this powerful state for a long time, remained completely unmoved.

The unique violent feeling inside his body and the extreme killing intent in his heart had completely disappeared.

Of course, instead, the large amount of cold yin energy in his body was constantly being consumed, soothing the fused pure yang energy and maintaining his calm and composed mind.

"In other words, the negative effects of the Reverse Scale state can now be completely offset by the Cold Yin Force?!"

He calmed himself down and carefully sensed the changes within his body. In his reverse scale state, his strength was comparable to that of a martial artist who had mastered the three levels of true skill.

If this can be maintained for a long time, its importance to Han Yi is self-evident.

From this perspective, the frost-like properties of the Cold Yin Force are of great significance to him.

"However... the duration of this state still depends on the capacity of the Cold Yin Energy..." He slowly withdrew his Reverse Scale state, his body rapidly shrinking and returning to normal, lost in thought.

Even though the Cold Yin Nine Curves Palm can counteract the negative effects of the Reverse Scale state, it cannot be maintained indefinitely.

As the cold yin energy was completely depleted, the familiar feeling of brutality and slaughter quickly surged into his heart.

In other words, the duration of the Reverse Scale state after it is activated depends entirely on the capacity reserve of Cold Yin Energy.

The amount of cold yin energy generated by the third level of the Cold Yin Nine Curve Palm was not much more than the duration of the previous Reverse Scale state.

However, this is only the third level of true skill; there are six more levels to come... The Cold Yin Force has enormous potential.

Han Yi always felt that one day he would be able to easily maintain the changes in the Reverse Scale state and use it as a daily routine.

After testing his newly acquired power, he stretched his body.

Everything was going well. Besides the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm, the blood network established by the Heaven-Mending Technique within his body was also constantly increasing and gradually taking effect after being replenished with a large amount of demon beast meat.

With the support of the Heaven-Mending Technique, the body's deficiency in vital energy and its inherent weakness were further improved.

His entire being was like an animal being nurtured and hatched inside an eggshell, undergoing subtle and earth-shattering changes under the protection and improvement of the Heaven-Mending Technique.

This kind of change cannot be completed in a short time; it is a long-term, slow, and thorough transformation. In that case, it's time to get out and about.

People always need to interact with society.

Coincidentally, a letter from Tao Qingtang from Baiqiaofang in Huayang City also reached his hands.

Having taken so much money from her, it's time for him to do some work.

Otherwise, Han Yi himself would feel guilty.

......

......

Huayang City, Baiqiaofang.

Plum Blossom Pavilion may not be the most famous or have the strongest market share in the entire Huayang City, but it has the most stable customer base.

Throughout Huayang City, in its dozens of wards and markets, almost every relatively wealthy ward and market had a branch of Plum Blossom Pavilion.

The Meihua Pavilion flagship store, located within Baiqiaofang, is the oldest, has the most customers, and is the most profitable shop. Bang!!

"This is outrageous! Absolutely outrageous!!!" Yue Hongying suddenly threw the account book in her hand to the ground with a loud thud.

The shopkeeper and other staff around them were so frightened that they trembled.

"Qingtang, look at this, look at this!!!" Yue Hongying was furious. "The most profitable month of the year is during the Chinese New Year period, and now, we haven't had a single sale for almost half a month!"

As the year draws to a close, it is the time when most people are purchasing supplies and daily necessities.

This is also the busiest time of year for Baiqiaoge.

As a result, in the past few days, a bunch of rascals and lazybones have appeared out of nowhere.

Once inside the store, they wouldn't leave, looked at the items but wouldn't buy anything, and blocked the store entrance, preventing anyone from entering.

Every time the authorities were notified, these troublemakers would slip away long before the officials even arrived, as if someone had tipped them off. This meant the shops couldn't sell anything and couldn't earn a single penny.

Yue Hongying and Tao Qingtang are best friends since childhood, so she naturally owns a share in Baiqiaoge.

When profits are damaged, dividends will decrease, which naturally makes her angry.

"Qingtang, what do you think we should do?" She turned to Tao Qingtang. "Should I go find Father..."

In business, fighting and killing are secondary; the most important things are capital, experience, and connections.

Just like Tao Qingtang, Plum Blossom Pavilion was able to develop steadily when her father was alive. But once she took over, after losing those relationships, a lot of trouble followed.

As for Yue Hongying, her father is one of the top merchants in Huayang City, with top-notch connections and resources. With just a word, he could solve the current predicament of Plum Blossom Pavilion.

"Hongying, let's wait a little longer. Don't trouble Uncle Yue. I've already notified that person," Tao Qingtang shook her head and refused. It wasn't that she was afraid Yue Hongying had malicious intentions, that she would use her family's power to interfere in Plum Blossom Pavilion's affairs and then gradually take it over.

Her best friend, though fiery and hot-tempered, is kind at heart, which is the foundation of their friendship that has lasted for more than ten years.

The main issue is that in business matters like this, if you get help this time and overcome the difficulties, what about next time, and the time after that?

She can't possibly ask for help every time she encounters a problem, can she?

If that were the case, she might as well sell Plum Blossom Pavilion as soon as possible and go home to enjoy her life.

"What use is that person you're talking about?" Tao Qingtang's words only made Yue Hongying's voice rise an octave.

"A few days ago, when I had a small gathering with Senior Sister Sun Ruoqing at Tingyu Pavilion, I asked that person again... No background, no potential, no strength, he's clearly a disciple with no background, no potential, and no strength..."

If you're hiring Ouyang Qi, whose teacher is Chen Ying of the Three Mountains Sect, with his background he could easily gather several fellow disciples to secretly watch over each shop, follow the clues, and ultimately solve the problem….”

She shook her head at this point.
