Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 599 Unexpected Turn of Events (Part 1)

Xiaoyue struggled to stay afloat, either ducking or retreating. Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, a dangerous glint appeared in its large eyes, and it immediately opened its jaws wide, ready to bite.

Boom!

Just then, a large hand descended from the sky and gave Xiaoyue a sharp rap on the head.

"What did I tell you? You need to be polite when you're out and about. You don't need to be so harsh on your own people." Han Yi couldn't stand it anymore.

Hey!

Xiaoyue glanced at Han Yi with a wronged expression, then helplessly lay down and let Zhong Han stroke her without moving.

"That's more like it..." Han Yi nodded in satisfaction. Everyone says that beast taming is difficult to learn, but he felt that was because they hadn't found the right method.

Isn't this quite simple?

Time passed slowly, and Zhong Han realized that she had been petting the dog for a while, so she stuck out her tongue and got up, feeling embarrassed.

Han Yi didn't mind. He was in a stable period of martial arts practice and didn't care about wasting a little time.

After the two stood still, they began to fight.

However, the two of them had fought many times, and were so familiar with each other that it was impossible to determine who was better.

Of course, the "difficult to determine who is better" here refers to the premise that Han Yi only uses his strength and does not use his full power.

As the sun set, the two figures touched and then separated.

"Junior brother, let's call it a day. We'll fight again another day." Zhong Han was panting, her vision blurred by sweat, but her fighting spirit remained high. Deep down, however, she harbored a burning desire.

I just can't accept it.

She refused to believe it. She clearly had higher internal strength and her progress in developing bone patterns and true body techniques far surpassed Han Yi's. Yet, every sparring session ended in them only equal.

She even had a strange feeling that she was no match for Han Yi at all, because Han Yi hadn't used his full strength.

"Okay. I'll trouble you to give me some pointers, Senior Sister." Han Yi nodded.

Although his actual strength far surpasses that of Zhong Han, the sparring between the two is not entirely without benefit to him.

Zhong Han's various methods of applying force, as well as the special techniques available to those in the Inscription stage, also greatly benefited him.

After saying goodbye, Han Yi led Xiaoyue down the mountain.

As one of the three high-ranking members of the Nine Turns Sect, with his territory outside the sect, he naturally spent most of his time at Qiyun Mountain.

After passing through the plaza in the center of the gate, there were still many disciples shouting and sparring with each other.

Among the dozens of disciples, the number of men and women was roughly equal, each making up about half.

Because of its cultivation techniques, the Nine-Bend Sect's leader, Zhong Yunxiu, is also a woman, which has attracted many female disciples to join the sect.

In order to distinguish it from the uniforms of the past Jingtianzhuang.

The male disciples were all dressed in light blue short-sleeved outfits, looking very energetic.

The female disciples wore slightly looser clothing on their upper bodies, with a blue belt around their waists and their hair tied in a ponytail. This was actually done with the characteristics of women in mind, so that they could practice martial arts while also looking as beautiful as possible.

Meanwhile, considering Zhong Yunxiu's good aesthetic sense, a beautiful water ripple pattern was drawn on the chest area of ​​both men's and women's clothing with paint.

This water ripple was also used as a marker to distinguish the identities of the disciples.

Those with one to three layers of markings are registered disciples who have only recently entered the sect. Those with three to six layers of markings are outer disciples who have been disciples for some time and are beginning to attempt to develop internal strength.

Those with six or more layers of patterns are formal disciples, signifying that they have begun cultivating the true skill, the Nine-Bend Cold Yin Palm.

Those like Han Yi and Zhong Han, who have almost reached the pinnacle of their true skills, have no taboos and can dress however they like.

Therefore, as soon as Han Yi approached, he was quickly recognized at a glance.

Many of the new disciples stopped what they were doing, bowed and greeted them.

Han Yi didn't presume to be arrogant and responded with a smile to each of them.

In the path of martial arts, diligence can make up for shortcomings.

The Nine-Bend Gate is located in a remote area, and its influence can only cover a radius of several dozen miles, so the welfare benefits are not generous.

But for most new disciples of the Nine Turns Sect, being able to practice martial arts is already considered extremely fortunate. Martial arts is the only thing in this world that can protect oneself and one's family.

They had to be diligent.

Although most of the disciples training here are outer disciples or new disciples with less than six runes, perhaps some of them will grow from humble beginnings to become high-ranking members of the sect, just like him.

Looking at the young men and women sweating and striving in the square, Han Yi suddenly felt a surge of emotion.

Didn't he go through the same thing before?

Han Yi walked further and further away, slowly descending the mountain.

The light shifted, and the field of vision became somewhat dim.

Who could know the despair and hopelessness in the heart of that young man who spent all his savings to go to Yuanmiao Sect alone, only to be driven down the mountain?

Who could have imagined that an outer disciple from a poor background with no connections could one day stand on equal footing with the high-ranking members of various sects? Now, he not only stands at the top of the martial arts world in terms of strength, but also possesses his own truly significant power.

Qiyun Mountain and Jingming Town were transformed into an impregnable fortress by him; his will represented absolute authority.

This is his internal power.

Externally, he has the "Plum Blossom Pavilion" where Tao Qingtang works as a business partner, which is mutually beneficial and can provide him with a basic business.

Meng Ren's martial arts school is his main training base, and it can provide a lot of guards and helpers to share his worries.

In Huayang City, one of the three major families, **, is his good brother, with money and manpower.

In particular, his father, Hu Liuyun, who was recently promoted to the position of judge of Huayang City, in charge of local government affairs, was well-informed and was his main source of intelligence.

He himself was one of the three high-ranking members of the Nine Turns Sect and a renowned martial artist. The relationships between these people and Han Yi formed a network of connections.

If a problem arises, they can leverage this network of relationships to exchange benefits, complement each other, coordinate, and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

Whether they are from all walks of life, officials or scholars, they can all be contacted and have a conversation with him.

Even the most inconspicuous martial arts school disciple, if they can develop into a capable individual, can provide a guarantee for many industries in Qiyun Mountain and Jingming Town.

This is Han Yi's current foundation, the basis for his ability to protect himself and survive in this chaotic world and continuously improve his strength.

If possible, he wants to maintain this network of relationships indefinitely.

Until all the chaos subsides, or until I stand at the very top of the world, free from all pressure.

But it's a pity.

Han Yi understood a principle: stability is only temporary.

All peace eventually evolves into chaos and disorder, just like entropy change. All systems will always spontaneously move towards chaos until they perish.

Huayang City, Baiqiaofang.

Meihua Pavilion, the location of the main store.

In the backyard of the main store, in the large flower room, Tao Qingtang sat in the center, staring intently at the piece of wood in her hand.
