Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 419 Inspector (Part 6)

"Thank you for taking care of me, Master." Han Yi bowed, his heart truly filled with gratitude.

As long as you choose to stay, the subsequent techniques of the true skill will naturally be released.

However, while the techniques are techniques, no one cares about the breakthrough points for the Cold Yin Nine Curves Palm.

The disciples usually have to find their own ways to consume these resources. They might buy them with money, hunt demons outside, or trade with others.

The only thing a master can do is offer suggestions or provide purchasing channels.

The fact that Zhong Yunxiu was willing to provide Han Yi with breakthrough catalysts shows that Han Yi's treatment was already similar to that of those so-called personal disciples.

The only thing lacking is a proper title.

However, he wasn't a vain person, and he didn't care about titles or fame. This perfectly suited his low-key personality; he wanted to quietly develop his wealth.

It's likely that Zhong Yunxiu knew his character, so she didn't insist on bringing it up.

"It's nothing. Just focus on your cultivation. You'll inevitably encounter all sorts of troubles when you're out in the world. But remember, the Nine-Bend Academy will always be open to you. If you can't make it outside, just come back."

Zhong Yunxiu gave a few words of advice.

Han Yi felt a warmth in his heart, but he didn't say anything; he simply bowed respectfully.

“Alright, it’s about time…” Zhong Yunxiu paused, and then suddenly blurted out, “Xiao Yi, I heard that you are over twenty years old now and still unmarried, and you don’t even have a partner?”

"This..." Han Yi felt a jolt in his heart and suddenly had a bad feeling. "Master, I am still young and have not thought about such an important life matter."

“That won’t do. Time flies. It may seem like a long time, but in reality, several years will pass in the blink of an eye.” Zhong Yunxiu shook her head and said in a friendly tone, “Xiao Yi, you’re twenty this year. It’s time to talk about marriage. Even if you haven’t thought about marriage, you can get to know a few women and see how it goes.”

Besides, your role as an inspector in the field involves certain risks. It's only natural that you choose a suitable partner, marry as soon as possible, and have descendants.

"Master, I plan to consider these matters after I have achieved success in martial arts," Han Yi quickly declined.

“No, martial arts cultivation and marriage are not contradictory; they are both things that one must experience in life. You have to carry on the Han family line.” Zhong Yunxiu’s face became serious, and her tone left no room for doubt: “My cousin has a daughter who is beautiful, has a delicate figure, and comes from a superior family. How about we arrange for you to meet her when you have some free time?”

She paused for a moment: "I know your parents passed away early and it's been very hard for you to make a living on your own, but since I'm your teacher, I have to consider your future."

I have met this woman before; she is gentle, poised, and elegant, possessing the air of a lady from a prominent family—truly a perfect match.

Although Zhong Yunxiu's words implied a desire to discuss something with Han Yi, they were not entirely unrelated.

But in this day and age, a teacher for a day is a father for life.

Therefore, Zhong Yunxiu's words, though seemingly a question, would be considered disobeying one's teacher and elders, on par with arguing with one's parents, if Han Yi were to refuse directly.

When parents arrange a marriage, the children have no say in refusing.

Han Yi could only smile wryly and nod: "I will leave it all to Master's arrangements."

“Master, but if neither of them is interested in the other, then perhaps they are not destined to be together. After all, marriage is a major life event, and it’s not just about the man’s opinion; the woman’s opinion also needs to be considered.”

However, he still subtly suggested that if things didn't work out, it would leave room for maneuver.

He's currently focused entirely on martial arts and has no interest in marriage.

It depends on fate; I won't force it.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yunxiu's tired face, which was burdened by official duties, softened slightly.

"Yes, of course. Marriage is a matter between two people. Don't worry, I'm not a rigid or old-fashioned person. I know that forced marriages are never happy."

These days, male martial arts masters who consider women's thoughts are rare.

"Alright, let's settle this for now. I'll ask the woman about her schedule later. It's getting late, you should go back and get ready." She gave her a few final words of advice.

Subsequently, Han Yi also learned a lot about the current situation and common sense of the martial arts world from Zhong Yunxiu, as well as various ways of dealing with people and things in the future.

For example, within a sect or region, there are rules on what situations to encounter and how to deal with them, and what things to avoid or shirk to prevent accidents.

"Okay, okay, thank you, Master." Han Yi quickly slipped away.

He really doesn't dare to stay with Zhong Yunxiu any longer.

Although he knew that Zhong Yunxiu's original intention was good, it wasn't to examine his body and repair his weakened foundation, but rather to arrange a marriage for him.

No one could stand it if it happened to them.

Fortunately, Zhong Yunxiu was probably too busy today and hadn't thought about dispersing her internal energy.

If we really have to take him to see a doctor, wouldn't everything be exposed? "It seems I need to think of a solution as soon as possible..."

Han Yi quickly left the Nine-Bend Courtyard.

It was already sunset, and the sky was darkening. Most of the disciples of Jiuqu Academy had already left.

He didn't care, following the moonlight, he walked through several paths and disappeared into the distance.

However, he's now twenty years old, and it's time for him to start thinking about his future marriage...

Jingtian Manor, Library.

Han Yi stood quietly on the second floor of the library, flipping through the books in his hands.

What he was holding was a thick black leather book.

"According to this book, human constitution can be divided into innate and acquired types. Innate constitution, as the name suggests, refers to a special change that occurs in an infant from birth due to the combination of various factors such as blood, bones, and skin. This change can be benign or malignant..."

For example, Meng Ren's Temujin Body represents a benign change...

For example, there's a constitution called the "Heavenly Fiend Cold Body," which makes the possessor physically weak, prone to various ailments, and unable to live past the age of twenty...

Acquired constitution refers to a constitution that is artificially and consciously formed through various means, such as cultivating secret techniques, using rare and precious materials. This type of constitution usually tends to change towards the desired effect, thereby producing…

Han Yi read it very carefully, page by page, line by line.

After a long silence, he slowly closed the book and placed it back on the shelf: "So, the physical constitution of those scions of noble families is also a result of acquired alterations and modifications. However, this modification is a long-term process that can be genetically modified..."
