Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 507 Miscellaneous Jade (Part 2)

His eyes were cold and vast, devoid of any emotion.

Han Yi exchanged a glance with him, and even he felt a slight stirring in his heart.

This feeling is like a naked traveler who has been wandering through the desert for a long time, traversing mountains and valleys, and finally discovering an oasis that can save his life after being scorched by the sun.

They rushed over in excitement, only to find it was just a mirage.

The feeling emanating from those eyes was a suffocating sense of despair.

Han Yi turned his head away, refusing to look at it.

The black, cotton-like substance quickly condensed again, and the eyeball disappeared once more. Han Yi held the crystal in his hand, remaining silent. A soft touch came from within, as if he were truly holding an eye.

But whose eyes possess yin energy that can be absorbed by him...?

Soon, Han Yi recalled that feeling.

That was the feeling he experienced when he encountered the demon envoy and the Yin Gu in An'yan City.

Back then, after he killed the Yin Gu, the long hair he left behind absorbed Yin energy in a similar way to how it feels now.

"In other words, this crystal seems to be the essence organ left behind by a demon, and a powerful one at that..."

This crystal contains a large amount of dense Yin energy, the most concentrated and purest kind of Yin energy.

He can directly absorb and transform this pure Yin energy, and use it to deduce and improve at any time.

"Such abundant yin energy, such a dense concentration..."

"So if I just keep absorbing like this, in just a few months, it will be enough to compare to all the Yin energy I've absorbed in the past..."

Han Yi roughly calculated based on the absorption rate and was immediately surprised.

This single crystal alone is equivalent to all his past efforts in absorbing knowledge.

Han Yi absorbed the Yin energy for a while longer before releasing it again.

Only then did he notice that the rhombus-shaped crystal seemed to have shrunk slightly compared to before.

"That's true. How could there be a perpetual motion machine in this world? It's enough to replenish so much Yin energy."

Han Yi immediately realized that this crystal probably also had a certain capacity for Yin energy.

It's just that the amount of Yin energy is relatively large compared to his absorption rate, which is why it seems endless.

Han Yi spent some time calculating and observing, and found that if he removed the restrictions and absorbed the crystal with all his might, it would only last for a few weeks.

"But even this quantity is enormous for me. With such a plentiful supply of Yin energy, I can fully implement my previous plan... The combination of inner and outer power is the strongest path..."

Han Yi secretly made his own plans.

Actually, the reason he chose to improve the Heaven-Mending Technique last time was entirely because of insufficient Yin energy.

Compared to the Heaven-Mending Technique, he now prefers to improve the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm, which can increase the duration of the pure Yang state.

"Guest, we have arrived at Jingtian Manor."

The carriage swayed for a moment and then came to a stop, at which point the driver's voice rang out.

"Okay, hard work."

After paying the carriage fare, Han Yi headed towards the Nine-Bend Courtyard.

......

The night was filled with the glittering stars and a gentle breeze.

Inside the main hall of Jiuquyuan, rows of low tables are placed on both sides, neatly arranged.

Seated on both sides were senior disciples such as Han Yi, Xiao Zhong, and Liu Song, while the head of the academy, Zhong Yunxiu, sat in the main seat at the very front.

“Zhong Han has just resigned from his title as chief disciple. He has gathered everyone here today to re-select a chief disciple for the inner academy. Please feel free to speak your mind and express your opinions.”

Zhong Yunxiu sat above and spoke calmly.

From her perspective, she could clearly see the expressions on the faces of the disciples below.

Xiao Zhong, Han Yi, Zhan Xiuying, Liu Song, plus Zhong Han, who serves as the leader of an external branch.

This is the foundation of the elite disciples of the Nine-Bend Academy. Each one of them, if chosen at random, possesses at least the cultivation level of the fourth level of True Skill.

Each of these individuals has a significant impact on the overall development of Jiuquyuan. This is also a major reason why Zhong Yunxiu convened this small meeting.

The air remained silent for a long time; no sound was heard.

“We’re all in this together, so there’s no need to be so formal,” Zhong Yunxiu said with a smile.

“Master, I think Senior Brother Xiao Zhong is suitable,” Zhan Xiuying said first.

She is currently working as an instructor in a bustling market town in Huayang City. She has a lot to deal with every day, and her first request was to settle this matter as soon as possible so that she can return home soon.

“That’s right, Senior Sister Zhan is right, Senior Brother Xiao is the most suitable.”

After Zhan Xiuying finished speaking, Han Yi and Liu Song nodded in agreement. Xiao Zhong's true skill level in the entire Nine-Bend Academy was second only to Zhong Han, making him the second-ranked disciple.

Now that Zhong Han has resigned from his chief position due to being busy with other matters, Xiao Zhong is the more suitable candidate in terms of seniority, ability, and age.

Besides Xiao Zhong, no one else would be suitable.

Zhan Xiuying is not lacking in qualifications and strength, but she is quite old and has long been married with children. She only wants to live a peaceful and stable life.

Being a chief instructor brings so many troubles; it's much more comfortable to stay at home as a teacher, a wife and mother, with gifts coming over every day.

Liu Song is young, but he lacks the ability to command respect. In addition, he is not good at speaking and is naturally dull, making him unsuitable for the position of chief disciple, which requires being shrewd and adaptable.

As for Han Yi… he meets all the requirements, but unfortunately, he doesn’t want to do it…

For him now, he'd rather keep a low profile than do anything that would draw attention to himself. Being the top disciple might bring him more benefits, but ultimately, it's just an empty title.

He's even capable of deliberately losing to Ye Tianjun during the day, so why would he care about a mere chief position?

"Alright, then the matter of the chief executive is settled."

Seeing that no one had any objections, Zhong Yunxiu finalized the matter.

She wasn't surprised by the result; it was entirely within her expectations.

"Xiao Zhong, from now on you will be the chief disciple of the Nine-Bend Academy. The rules of our Nine-Bend Academy are: courage, integrity, loyalty, and unity... The chief disciple must strive to be the first in all matters, remain calm in all situations, cherish the inner disciples, and treat others with solidarity... Only in this way can we avoid any disadvantages and be invincible in every battle..."

Then, she went on to give a long list of requirements for the chief disciple before finally concluding the meeting.

"Xiao Zhong, Xiao Yi, you two stay for a moment..." Just as everyone was saying goodbye and preparing to leave, Zhong Yunxiu spoke up again, stopping the two of them.
