Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 57 The Figure Behind the Courtyard Gate

Han Yi's overall strength suddenly changed to '55~95'!

He had tested it before, and as long as the value was over 100, it meant he was at the level of the Meridian Opening stage.

In other words, Han Yi's attack power at this moment is already very close to the Meridian Opening stage!

"Let's test the power of this meteorite sword!"

Han Yi suddenly had a brilliant idea.

I haven't had a chance to experience this meteorite iron sword since it was forged.

Han Yi slowly drew the meteorite iron sword and held it in his hand. Instantly, his entire arm sank slightly. The sword had a simple design without any superfluous decorations. Although the blade looked cold and sharp, making one's heart tremble, it did not feel cold to the touch. On the contrary, it had a warm feeling.

Whew, whiff, whiff!

Han Yi's arm muscles were bulging, and he struggled to swing them a few times.

The meteorite sword was swung through the air with tremendous force, creating a fierce gust of wind.

thump!

Where the sword passed, a large blue stone in the corner of the backyard of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion was split into two pieces in the middle, just like tofu, revealing a smooth cross-section.

"Such power?"

Master Lu, standing behind Han Yi, twitched slightly at the corner of his forehead, feeling as if he had misjudged the weapon and missed out on a fine piece of equipment.

It's alright. No matter how powerful it is, this meteorite iron sword can't be infused with internal energy. It's just a mortal-grade weapon. I didn't lose out on this deal!

Master Lu comforted himself in this way.

"What a sword! This deal is definitely worth it!" Han Yi's eyes lit up.

He hadn't even exerted his full strength; the sheer weight of the meteorite sword was enough to achieve such an effect!

"A heavy sword with a sharp edge, exquisitely crafted, and entirely black... I'll call you the Xuan Tie Sword!"

Han Yi swung the Xuan Tie sword a few more times, feeling much more comfortable with it, before casually carrying it behind his back.

He is now over 1.8 meters tall. The Xuan Tie sword can reach his chest when it is standing on the ground, and the hilt can be seen when it is slung diagonally across his body.

Suddenly, a strange look appeared on Han Yi's face: the Xuan Tie Sword, the Divine Condor, and Little Dragon Girl.

If he collects two more items, he can call himself the Condor Hero! "Forget it, forget it, I don't want to lose an arm." Han Yi shook his head and quickly banished the thought from his mind.

"Young Master Han, if you wish to sell weapons in the future, such as if you no longer want this meteorite iron sword, you can always come back to our Treasure Pavilion to discuss it further..."

At the entrance of the Treasure Pavilion, by the light of the lanterns, Master Lu bowed to Han Yi.

Clearly, he still had his eye on Han Yi's Xuan Tie Sword!

"Haha, no problem, no problem, I'll definitely do it next time..." Han Yi laughed, making empty promises with increasing skill.

"Perhaps I should learn a martial art suitable for the Xuan Tie Sword?"

Dusk had long since faded into the deepening night, and on the streets, only the light from the lanterns hanging in front of the shops in the distance could be seen.

These tiny lights were like stars in the sky. As soon as Han Yi turned a corner, the stars disappeared instantly.

Han Yi had long ago considered purchasing some high-level martial arts techniques to cultivate, since the system could add points, and as long as he could get started, reaching a high level would only be a matter of a moment.

Especially after receiving the five hundred taels of silver from Wu Awei and having his purse bulging, his idea became even stronger.

However, after searching through several markets in An'yan City, he couldn't find any shops selling martial arts techniques. Later, he subtly inquired about this matter with Pan Sheng.

Only then did they learn that in An Yan City, there might be some martial arts techniques for sale on the black market, but these were all ordinary, even incomplete and low-grade martial arts techniques. The truly powerful martial arts techniques could only be exchanged within the sect.

But just a few days ago, he received a message from Zheng Yuncheng that it was said that Yellow-rank martial arts techniques were being sold freely in the city, and that Xuan-rank martial arts techniques were even being auctioned off occasionally at some large auction houses!

From then on, Han Yi understood one thing.

Anyan City, a small county town, may seem very big to ordinary people!

However, it was too small for the four powers in Anyan City.

The smaller forces simply cannot tolerate other forces selling cultivation techniques right under their noses!

Perhaps only in a vast region like a prefecture city, where a hundred schools of thought contend and martial arts are prevalent, can there be no hoarding of one's own skills, and only then can there be a prosperous world of martial arts!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a surge of urge to go to the prefectural city.

But then he touched his purse. He'd spent two hundred taels of silver at the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, and now he only had a little over three hundred taels left…

You don't really notice the cost in normal times, but when it comes to buying things related to martial arts, the money just disappears too quickly!

Han Yi felt his wallet was empty after buying just two weapons. Whether he went to the prefectural city or not, he still needed to find a way to make some money…

Da da da

Han Yi walked through the alley, his mind deep in thought.

With the Xuan Tie sword slung over his back, his steps became somewhat heavy, and Han Yi, who was usually agile, felt a little uncomfortable.

"Just think of it as weight training!" he thought optimistically, finding joy in the hardship.

Grasshopper~ Grasshopper~

At night, the insects in the yard chirped merrily, signaling the arrival of Qiuzhu Alley.

Han Yi walked to his front door, took out his key, and prepared to open the gate, but suddenly, he stopped.

Han Yi caught a glimpse of the number '35~60' flashing by through the crack in the door.

But when he came to his senses and looked closely, he found that the crack in the courtyard gate was completely dark and empty.

"My imagination?" Han Yi frowned, his right hand involuntarily gripping the hilt of the Xuan Tie sword.

Han Yi calmed down and listened attentively.

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh”

There was breathing coming from inside the door?

Han Yi's expression darkened.

Amidst the cacophony of crickets, there was a faint, persistent breathing sound. Judging from the previous readings, the person was at least at the early stage of the Blood Refinement realm!

This time, if it weren't for Han Yi's greatly enhanced hearing after breaking through to the Blood Refining stage, plus the help of the system, he would almost have been fooled as well!

"Is someone lying in ambush inside?" Han Yi's mind raced.

It seemed that he hesitated slightly as he unlocked the door; the breathing inside became noticeably more rapid. What if someone really is there?

Click, click.

"This damn lock should have been replaced a long time ago!" Han Yi cursed. "Did I grab the wrong key? I've been trying to turn it for ages and it still won't open!"

Dingling clang

A sound of rummaging through things rang out, seemingly Han Yi searching for his keys.

"Finally found the key..."

click

Han Yi inserted the key into the lock and gripped the sword hilt tightly with his right hand.
