Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 477 Characteristics: Yin Qiong Shang

"Eagle Nine, you're still here too, what right do you have to talk to me?" Luo Meiwei's voice even became extremely rough, indistinguishable from a man's voice.

"Hmph, I hope everything goes smoothly this time, and that it won't be like last time, where I had to go to so much trouble to clean up your mess." Ying Jiu's tone was icy.

"Stop talking nonsense and get moving. That guy surnamed Han has been staying home all this time, and we've finally got our chance," Luo Meiwei urged.

"What's the rush? My brothers from the Green Robe Alliance sent word that the military commander in Huayang City has just been replaced, and everything hasn't been settled yet. What's the use of you rushing me here?" Ying Jiu said impatiently. "The longer we wait, the more things might go wrong. This is the last time. The longer we delay, the greater the chance that Han will find out. What, do you also want this matter to be exposed?" Luo Meiwei retorted.

“Precisely because this is the last time, we need to be cautious. What we’re delivering this time is definitely not the simple weapons and food we’ve sent before. If it’s discovered, not only you and me, but even the higher-ups behind us could be in trouble.” Ying Jiu shook his head.

The Green-Clad Alliance, an illegal organization within Yunzhou, is at odds with the official Demon Hunting Society, constantly fighting each other. Despite numerous attempts to suppress them, they have managed to survive and remain free.

The Green-Clad Alliance has intricate connections with several major local powers, and they conduct transactions through clandestine channels.

Food, weapons, daily necessities, and so on were all replenished in this way.

Otherwise, if everyone in the Green Robe Alliance couldn't even get enough to eat or wear, they would have perished long ago. As a member of the Green Robe Alliance, Eagle Nine had cooperated with Luo Meiwei many times. On previous occasions, they had secretly transported nothing more than food, weapons, and the like.

Trading these things secretly with the Green Robe Alliance is illegal, but given the current state of the government's incompetence and the weakness of the court, it is a viable option.

In this kind of situation, we tend to turn a blind eye.

But the items to be transported this time are prohibited items specifically requested by higher authorities, items that would inevitably be discovered if reduced.

It is also a major contraband that, once exposed, can be killed on the spot.

Therefore, both Eagle Nine and May Lo took this final transaction very seriously and were extremely cautious.

"This is the last time, the last time. Don't you know how important this is?" Luo Meiwei sneered. "But if we follow your approach and arrange everything properly, how long will it take? Every extra day we wait is another day of danger." She had actually had a premonition recently that she was being watched.

Things like this are best done secretly, little by little, accumulating over time until the quantity is definitely not small.

After all, she is the head of the Lotus Hall, and her responsibilities include logistics, finance, and statistics. She has a natural advantage in controlling the quantity of goods entering and leaving the hall.

However, this will take time; slowly and secretly, the accounts will be smoothed over.

Unlike now, where large quantities are being smuggled out one after another in a frenzy. Even if she uses her own power to make the ledgers look normal for a while, she can still manage to do so.

But if things continue like this, it's only a matter of time before they get caught.

Therefore, she had no choice but to be responsible for carrying out the task and could only follow orders.

Fortunately, this operation was extremely dangerous, and the goods were contraband that could cost her her life, and the quantity was astonishing, which gave her a chance.

An opportunity to retire and go home.

This was also the last time she took on such an extremely dangerous task, one that could cost her her life.

"Then what good ideas do you have?" Ying Jiu asked, dissatisfied. "By brute force, we'll only end up dead."

“Then you should listen to me… like this… like this…” Luo Meiwei lightly leaped onto the tree trunk and said a few words to Ying Jiu.

"Is this... okay...?" Ying Jiu hesitated, feeling it was too risky.

"How can you catch tiger cubs without getting into the tiger's den? Are you even a man? Why are you more indecisive than a woman?" Luo Meiwei said impatiently. "Besides, no matter what you choose, there will always be risks in this kind of thing. This is the first time we've gone down this path, and nothing has happened in all this time. I don't believe something will happen this time."

Ying Jiu thought about it for a moment and felt that what he said made a lot of sense, so he was convinced.

"When does it begin?"

"Now!" Luo Meiwei lightly touched the ground with her feet and floated away into the distance.

"Okay, I hope everything goes well."

Ying Jiu sighed and moved to follow closely behind.

…....

…....

Jingming Town, the Inspectorate.

At this moment, Han Yi was leaning back in his chair, carefully examining the classic texts in his hands, taking advantage of the bright sunlight.

Whoosh...

He turned the page rather lazily.

Having just finished lunch, a large amount of demonic beast meat had piled up in his abdomen, causing a noticeable bulge. He was clearly quite stuffed. "My senior sister said that the most crucial element for advancing from the fourth to the fifth level of True Skill is choosing the right catalyst. Ideally, one should acquire a special characteristic, so that under the same force, one can gain an advantage..."

He narrowed his eyes slightly and slowly closed the book in his hands.

"The special characteristic that Zhong Han comprehended is 'Water Transformation,' which can disperse and break down the icy Yin energy, which is like ice, into countless tiny water lines. These water lines can then rapidly spread throughout the martial artist's entire body, searching for weaknesses and penetrating every crevice. Once a weakness in the enemy's protective energy is detected, it can be targeted and used to strike directly at vital points..."

Han Yi got up and slowly paced around the study to facilitate the digestion and absorption of food in his stomach.

"Ice can indeed turn into water. But I've also heard that millennia-old ice, hidden tens of thousands of meters below the seabed, is still difficult to melt even under the scorching sun... and even if you put it on an ordinary flame, the coldness it exudes can directly extinguish the flame..."

He paused, feeling that his thinking made a lot of sense. "Hmm... If that's the case, the reason why my Cold Yin Force was easily neutralized by Zhong Han when we fought was definitely because the icy intent in my force wasn't cold enough. It's like the collision of fire and water; water can extinguish fire, but a large enough fire can definitely evaporate all the water!"

Han Yi's eyes lit up, and he quickly returned to his desk, wrote a letter, and prepared to send it to Zhong Yunxiu.

There are rules in the Nine-Bend Academy that anyone who is willing to stay can apply for a breakthrough enhancement catalyst after their strength cultivation reaches its limit.
