Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 420 Inspector (Part 7)

“Even during the process of genetic development, the bloodline may gradually decline due to the long time it has been in existence, and there may be various mutations due to atavism... For example, Fang Chengqi has a mutated fire ape bloodline.”

As he was thinking, Han Yi suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"From this perspective, the concept of physique is actually about a person's most fundamental and basic physical qualities. The reason why I am worried that Master Zhong Yunxiu can see through whether I have lost my cultivation is simply because my physical body is no different from that of other disciples. Therefore, as long as she examines me closely, she will be exposed."

After all, people who have lost their internal energy will suffer physical damage, and their qi, blood, and foundation will be weaker than ordinary people.

So, let's look at it from another angle. Since everyone believes I have a special physique, I can use various means to maximize the enhancement of my physical body. That way, even close observation will only reveal that my physical abilities surpass those of ordinary people.

Furthermore, with the replenishment of energy from the Heaven-Mending Technique, this explains why I was still able to surpass others in cultivation speed even after my energy dissipated.

"It's very simple. It's because of my special constitution that I can ignore the aftereffects of dissipating my internal energy. Or rather, my constitution is too strong; that little damage to my foundation and loss of qi and blood is negligible!"

The more Han Yi thought about it, the more feasible this method seemed.

In any case, people's constitutions are incredibly diverse, and no one can possibly know the functions of all the different constitution classifications in the world.

He was born like this; he was born with a strong constitution, extraordinary talent, and blood and energy that were different from ordinary people.

Does this need explanation? Obviously not.

Just like Meng Ren's special physique, the Ironwood Body, he was born with it, and his defensive capabilities were incredibly strong, so no one had any objections.

"Perfect timing. Cultivating external martial arts and strengthening the physical body was originally a plan of mine, so this is just starting to implement it ahead of schedule."

Han Yi had long wanted to try cultivating both internal and external aspects, which was a way for him to adjust his cultivation direction.

"If only I could elevate my physical body to the level of Tantai Xunzhen..."

His heart immediately burned with excitement.

Even now, he might not be able to defeat that extremely ferocious Blackbird King from back then.

Tantai Xunzhen, however, could shatter everything with a single punch.

That powerful, ferocious, and violent physique... still leaves a deep impression on Han Yi to this day.

The "pure white lotus body" is the first step in external cultivation, so what comes next...?

He quickly went to the section of bookshelves displaying external martial arts and hard body techniques.

Since his status as a disciple changed, all his expenses on the second floor of this library have been free.

Now, he's no longer in a rush and is taking his time searching.

Based on his own characteristics, he also found several external martial arts manuals that suited him.

"Iron Armor Skill", "Jiujiang Iron Chain Skill", "Tongsheng Stance Skill"... and a few other seemingly impressive secret techniques were also picked up.

There were six martial arts manuals in total. After making his selection, he headed straight for the counter.

Han Yi showed his waist token, and when the disciple behind the counter saw it, his eyelids twitched wildly.

"Brother, what are you trying to practice? Martial arts are about quality, not quantity. Practicing too much can lead to internal injuries. Besides, these are all external skills; what's the point of practicing them?"

The disciple at the counter was clearly a proponent of the strength-based versus physical-body-based debate, harboring considerable prejudice against external martial arts methods for training the body. Han Yi had visited the library frequently, so the two knew each other, and the disciple was simply offering a well-intentioned reminder.

"It's alright, I know what I'm doing," Han Yi said dismissively.

He's about to leave Jingtian Manor to take up the post of Inspector. While it's unlikely he'll go too far, there will still be some distance between them.

He can't keep running back and forth every day, so he can only take a few more books.

"Alright, as long as you understand." The clerk at the counter had no choice but to take out several handwritten copies.

After Han Yi accepted it, he left the library.

Then he quickly went straight to Mingfeng Courtyard, bought a lot of medicine for injuries to be used when traveling, and prepared the medicinal herbs according to the medicinal bath prescriptions of several external martial arts.

He also asked for a few more doses of medicine.

After all, he was away from home for a long time. Once he left, the surrounding area was mostly filled with ordinary pharmacies, and many of the medicinal herbs specifically for martial arts practitioners were not available elsewhere. The price of the medicine was at cost, so the expense was minimal. This was because he had asked Meng Ren to help him buy the medicine.

Of course, during this process, Meng Ren also kept chattering away, making wild claims and challenging others.

Han Yi didn't waste any words. After giving Meng Ren two big slaps, Meng Ren obediently went to buy him medicine.

Carrying a large bag of things, Han Yi quickly left Mingfeng Courtyard, preparing to return to Jiuqu Courtyard.

However, before he even reached his doorstep, he heard a commotion ahead, as if a large group of people were talking and discussing something.

Han Yi frowned slightly, his ears twitched, and he slowly walked over.

They had only walked halfway when they discovered a large group of muscular, shiny-skinned men standing in front of his house.

The leader was exceptionally tall, with bulging muscles that seemed about to tear his clothes apart. Two axes were stuck in the leather pouch on his back.

His eyes lit up when he saw Han Yi, and he jogged towards Han Yi with a fawning smile, reaching out to take the heavy object from Han Yi's hand.

Han Yi didn't move his hand, and the burly man wasn't embarrassed either. He stepped back, turned around, and made a gesture.

Immediately, the group rushed forward and bowed to Han Yi.

“Meet Big Brother!!!”

The sound was so loud that it made the eardrums of those around them buzz.

Many neighbors and passersby looked on in surprise, wondering if they had seen things wrong. When did Jingtianzhuang become a gangster village?

Han Yi stood at the door, his gaze momentarily blank.

Looking at the group of burly men dressed in black, each one brimming with energy, calling him "Big Brother," he felt as if he had suddenly become the leader of the Axe Gang. Feeling the gazes of the passersby, Han Yi's face flushed with a rare embarrassment. He quickly opened the courtyard gate and called the group inside.

After some questioning, he finally understood the origins of this group of people.

In fact, they are the subordinates of the inspector he is about to take office as.

The man leading the group was named Qu Qiao. After learning that Han Yi was the new inspector, he immediately led his men to greet him.

"Hmm... So, you were all trained by Senior Sister Shen Qiuling before?"

Qu Qiao, with his buzz cut and shiny forehead, said, "Yeah, brother, we used to be in the outer courtyard. Boss Shen specifically transferred us out to be in charge of security work in the mining area."

"I see..." Han Yi nodded, then suddenly paused, "Wait, what did you say? Why did you call Senior Sister Shen before?!" "Replying to Big Brother, we called her Boss Shen, what's wrong?" Qu Qiao scratched his forehead, looking very smart.

"Shen... Boss Shen?" Han Yi's temple twitched.
