Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 52 Pan Sheng's View

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural cycle of life and the common experience of humankind.

Although the people in this world are generally more physically fit and stronger than the ordinary people in Han Yi's previous life, they are still plagued by diseases.

However, for minor illnesses like colds and fevers, ordinary people in this world can tough it out with their bodies, while for difficult and complicated diseases, there are miraculous medicines from the Dan Ding Sect to cure them.

Therefore, a persistent cough is not normal.

But it's hard to say whether this kind of illness is real or not. Based on Han Yi's limited biological knowledge from his previous life, it could be that the virus has mutated and become more toxic.

Han Yi rubbed his temples, deciding not to think about it anymore. Even if it was an accident, A Qiu had still shown her kindness.

"You be careful lately, don't catch a cold. If you really can't, come stay with me."

Han Yi lowered his head, took out twenty coins from his pocket, handed them to A Qiu, and said with a smile, "Go buy some good food to nourish your body."

It wasn't that Han Yi didn't want to give more; the main problem was that if he gave a large sum of money to a child, it would be like a child holding gold, attracting jealousy and resentment.

Twenty coins are enough for Ah Qiu to eat well for a week.

"Thank you, Brother Yi." A Qiu's eyes seemed a little red. He continued, "I've been staying in a dilapidated temple outside the city recently. Don't worry, I'm fine."

Han Yi stood at the courtyard gate, watching A Qiu's departing figure. No matter what, he remembered this matter.

Thump, thump!

Upon hearing the familiar knocking sound, Han Yi smiled slightly. This time it must be Pan Sheng.

He opened the courtyard gate, and sure enough, it was Pan Sheng knocking at the door.

"Junior Brother Han, I brought you the contract. After signing the contract, you will be registered under Liu's Rice Shop."

The terms offered by Liu's Rice Shop and Sun's Noodle Shop were almost identical, but Pan Sheng said that his father was acquainted with the head of the Liu clan, so he chose a contract for Han Yi from Liu's Rice Shop.

"Alright, now you can go to Liu's Rice Shop and collect your first month's allowance."

The contract was made in duplicate. Pan Sheng took one copy and returned it to Liu's rice shop, while Han Yi kept one copy as proof.

After signing the contract, the two began to chat.

“Brother Pan has extensive connections in Anyan City and knows many people. Why not ask him if there are any excellent blacksmiths in the city to reforge the Blue Jade Sword?”

During the conversation, Han Yi suddenly had this idea. Since he didn't have a good sword technique, he had long planned to reforge the Blue Jade Sword, but a reliable shop was not easy to find.

Without much thought, he asked Pan Sheng.

"Recast?"

Pan Sheng's brow furrowed.

"Junior Brother Han, do you possess some kind of shady weapon?"

Han Yi paused, but did not answer immediately.

Then, he got up and took out the Blue Jade Sword.

Pan Sheng is still trustworthy, and it's just a flower thief's weapon, so it shouldn't be a big deal.

"What a sword!"

Upon seeing the Blue Jade Sword, Pan Sheng stroked the blue jade on the hilt and couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Could this sword be the sword of 'Silver Sword' Wu Awei?"

He seemed to have thought of something and asked Han Yi. "Senior brother has keen insight," Han Yi said calmly, his expression unchanged.

“Uh…” Pan Sheng was a little surprised.

He also knew about the bounty on 'Silver Sword' Wu Awei; he had heard some of his martial arts friends who had encountered Wu Awei mention it vaguely.

Those friends all said that Wu Awei's movement and swordsmanship were definitely not at the early stage of Bone Refinement as stated in the bounty order. His true strength was definitely no weaker than that of an ordinary late-stage Bone Refinement martial artist. It was probably only a Blood Refinement stage expert who could take him down.

Pan Sheng still had a lot of faith in his friends' judgment, after all, their cultivation levels were all at the late stage of Bone Refinement.

He had also heard that Wu Awei's bounty had been withdrawn by the Martial Alliance a few days ago, and that he had been killed by a mysterious martial artist.

At the time, he and some friends lamented that they wondered which Blood Refining stage quasi-martial master had done it, managing to bring the long-arrogant Wu Awei to his knees. Unexpectedly, today Han Yi's junior brother saw Wu Awei's signature weapon, so it's obvious who killed Wu Awei…

For the first time, Pan Sheng carefully examined Han Yi, his junior brother Han, from head to toe.

Previously, Pan Sheng only regarded Han Yi as someone to chat with casually.

While in the Ninth Squad, Li Feng was busy with various matters and also focused on his cultivation. Although Pan Sheng and Li Feng had a good relationship, they didn't have much time to spend together.

Wang Meng, who was previously an outer disciple of the guard team, felt a deep sense of inferiority when facing an inner disciple like Pan Sheng, a feeling that he himself was unaware of.

In addition, Wang Meng was taciturn and not good at speaking, so Pan Sheng was unwilling to communicate with him.

Only Han Yi had neither the inferiority complex of Wang Meng nor the many troubles of Li Feng. Moreover, Han Yi was very discreet, never gossiping or discussing others behind their backs.

Therefore, when he was in the Ninth Squad, Pan Sheng spent most of his time communicating with Han Yi.

Pan Sheng's impression of Han Yi had always been that he was cheerful, cautious, and careful in his actions, or rather, too cautious, which made him seem a bit petty.

But just at this very moment.

Pan Sheng's opinion of Han Yi suddenly changed.

He felt that Han, who seemed harmless and always smiling, was actually just a big cat that usually hid its claws deep in its paw pads, hiding its true strength.

Han Yi seemed shrouded in mystery, making even Pan Sheng, who thought he knew him well, unable to see through him...

"How did you deal with Wu Awei? I've heard people say that Wu Awei's strength is definitely not as simple as the bounty poster suggests."

Pan Sheng looked at the blue jade sword, a faint light flashing in his eyes. He remained silent for a while before speaking.

"Senior Brother Pan, you don't know, I was just lucky and got a bargain."

"At that time, I happened to be passing by Chang Le Fang. Wu Awei seemed to have just been in a fierce fight with someone in Chang Ning Fang. He had several wounds on his body, so I chased after him. I didn't expect that after only a few blows, Wu Awei would fall down on his own..."

Han Yi told a white lie.

"After obtaining this Blue Jade Sword, I considered that in this Anyan City, besides Senior Brother Li, only Senior Brother Pan is trustworthy. That's why I wanted to know which reliable forging shop in the city is available," Han Yi said with a warm smile.

Trust? Yeah, why think so much? No matter what, he still has to call me senior brother.

"Cough, cough."

Pan Sheng snapped out of his daze, coughed twice, and then tried to adopt the air of a senior brother, saying in a low voice, "Junior Brother Han, you've come to the right person!"

"?"

"Senior Brother Pan, why is your voice hoarse?"
