Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Forty-Six: Treatment

Zheng Yuncheng, Senior Brother Zheng, such high values ​​probably indicate that you have reached the late stage of Blood Refinement and are only one step away from the Meridian Opening stage. If you successfully break through, you will become a Meridian Opening stage martial artist!

Han Yi had tested it before; as long as the value exceeded 100, it meant he was at the level of the Meridian Opening stage.

"This is really stressful. Even a random disciple from the inner sect is stronger than me..." Han Yi thought to himself, and he pursed his lips almost imperceptibly.

Of course, aside from Senior Brother Pan, who is currently engrossed in visiting the 'Drunken Immortal Pavilion,' Han Yi was already quite surprised that his strength could be maintained at the mid-stage of Bone Refinement.

“Junior Brother Han, let me tell you about the situation,” Pan Sheng said, standing up. “Senior Brother Zheng is an elite disciple of our Crimson Flame Sect. He will soon be in seclusion to cultivate in preparation for breaking through to the Meridian Opening stage, so…”

Squeak

The door to the private room opened again.

"Sir, now all your dishes are served!"

The waiter placed several bowls and plates behind the table, gave a slight bow, and spoke.

"How can we have food without wine?"

"Go and fetch a bottle of good wine!"

what?

Upon hearing Han Yi's words, Pan Sheng frowned slightly and tugged at Han Yi's clothes.

You should know that wine is more expensive than food; a bottle of good wine can cost as much as a whole meal!

The dishes at 'Fulinlou' that were originally chosen weren't expensive, but if you add wine, the price would be quite high. However, Han Yi thought that he wasn't short of money right now, and a feast wouldn't be complete without wine. Serving only dishes would indeed be impolite. If it were just him and Pan Sheng, it wouldn't matter.

But Zheng Yuncheng was specially invited by Pan Sheng to come for the matter of Han Yi's name being attached to him. If this gets out in the future, it won't sound good!

Han Yi moved his lips and gestured the shape of 'Martial Alliance' to Pan Sheng.

Pan Sheng seemed to understand something, so he stopped dwelling on it and continued, "Senior Brother Zheng is currently affiliated with several small forces. After he goes into seclusion, he probably won't have time to take care of them all, so he's planning to find a few trustworthy fellow disciples to help him with the affiliation."

"I have several affiliated forces in Changningfang and Changlefang."

"Among them, some have good benefits and some have poor conditions."

"Junior Brother Han, to be honest, before meeting you today, I also met several of our fellow disciples. Naturally, those with stronger abilities can choose contracts with better benefits. Junior Brother Han, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Han Yi instantly understood. Although Pan Sheng and Zheng Yuncheng had mentioned his cultivation level, he himself had not yet truly become an inner disciple, nor did he have any convincing battle achievements.

Zheng Yuncheng wanted to see if his strength was really as formidable as Pan Sheng had described!

"It would be a bit frightening to reveal my Blood Refining stage strength, so let's just show off a little..."

Without much thought, Han Yi casually picked up a white-shelled salted duck egg from the table.

He slightly stimulated his qi and blood, and although Han Yi didn't seem to exert much force, his finger bones merely touched the outer shell of the duck egg.

The duck eggshell was intact and undamaged.

"Could this be?"

When Pan Sheng first saw Han Yi's actions, he was somewhat puzzled. But then something suddenly occurred to him, and he murmured to himself, "Could he be in the late stage of Bone Refinement...?"

Impossible, absolutely impossible. Junior Brother Han only just broke through to the mid-stage of Bone Refinement.

Then, Han Yi handed the white-shelled duck egg to Zheng Yuncheng, gesturing for him to open it.

Zheng Yuncheng casually peeled off a piece of eggshell, only to find that the egg white, yolk, and oil inside had already been seeped into it by Han Yi's force, and flowed out like a muddy mess.

"Bone penetration, late stage of Bone Refinement?"

Pan Sheng's lips twitched slightly as he asked in surprise, "Junior Brother Han, when did you break through to the late stage of Bone Refinement?"

A martial artist in the late stage of Bone Refinement has bones as hard as refined iron. After stimulating their Qi and blood, their bones and flesh become one, and every move they make will have highly concentrated power with a penetrating effect. Therefore, this is also called Bone Power.

If a late-stage Bone Refinement martial artist fights a mid-stage Bone Refinement martial artist, the late-stage Bone Refinement martial artist, relying on bone strength, can often knock the mid-stage Bone Refinement martial artist to the ground with just one punch.

This is why, even though they are both in the Bone Refining stage, those in the middle stage who register their names may only receive a monthly stipend of ten taels of silver.

However, in the later stages of bone refining, one might receive thirty taels of silver per month!

"Just a few days ago, after consuming the 'Bone Strengthening Pill' awarded by the sect, I suddenly felt like I was about to break through, and then..."

Han Yi spread his hands, looking quite innocent.

"I don't believe you for a second! You're a wicked little devil; you said the same thing last time!"

Pan Sheng rolled his eyes at him from the side.

Han Yi surprised him too much in one night, and he's a little numb now.

“Not bad, not bad, it really exceeds my expectations. When Pan Sheng first told me that you were very strong, I didn’t quite believe it. But now that I see it, it’s true!” A smile appeared on Zheng Yuncheng’s lips.

"You're too kind, you're too kind..."

What would you think if you knew that this was only a small part of my strength...? Although Han Yi thought this in his heart, a faint smile appeared on his face.

"There are several small gangs in Changningfang that I am currently affiliated with. If you were to have the strength of a mid-stage Bone Refinement cultivator, you would probably only be able to choose one of these."

"Changning Ward? Wasn't it said that the Crimson Flame Sect shouldn't interfere in matters within Changning Ward?"

Han Yi asked, puzzled, as he seemed to recall hearing someone mention this before.

"Haha, junior brother, our Crimson Flame Sect really doesn't interfere. We are just nominally martial artists at the mid-stage of Bone Refinement!"

"Anyway, there aren't any powerful figures in Changningfang. The small gangs and factions there like to do this: they give you some money, you show your face and put on a show, and then they use your Bone Refining stage martial artist status to attract new people to join or to intimidate some ordinary people."

Zheng Yuncheng laughed heartily as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Han Yi suddenly thought of the 'Mad Dog Gang' members he had seen at the entrance of Changningfang that day.

Those people were just ordinary folks. Indeed, in Changning Ward, where would powerful individuals live in a slum? Even a Bone Refining stage martial artist could probably walk around like a madman…

"However, small gangs in Changning Ward don't make much money. The allowance they give is not much. For someone in the late stage of Bone Refinement, they can only get a little over twenty taels of silver a month at most."

"Even with my Blood Refining stage strength, I only get thirty-five taels of silver a month for being a nominal member."

Zheng Yuncheng gave a few bitter laughs.

It seems that Changningfang, this slum, is really not wealthy... Han Yi thought to himself.

"Of course, choosing to be affiliated with a small gang in Changningfang is not all bad; there are a few advantages as well."

Zheng Yuncheng continued.
