Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 627 Intention

After dismissing Qu Qiao with a few casual words, Han Yi watched him leave with some satisfaction.

In just a few days, he looked much more haggard than when he first arrived.

Indeed, no matter what world it is, the civil engineering industry is always the place with the most cattle and horses.

"Xiao Yi..."

Han Yi shuddered and looked at Zhong Yunxiu.

"Master, did you call me?"

"This Six Harmonies Spirit Thorn Grass..." Zhong Yunxiu pulled out a stalk of grass and asked with a frown.

"This thing secretes a special liquid that repels insects. It must be built underground during the foundation construction to prevent poisonous insects from damaging the foundation," Han Yi explained simply.

"And here, this is white thorn, which has excellent rainproofing properties and is used to fill the roof. The only drawback is that it's dry and flammable, so it needs black moss to neutralize it. Around it are purple phantom flowers, which can absorb and transform miasma, thus playing a purifying role..."

Since he had already said it, he simply gave a brief explanation of the materials currently being used for building houses in the current area.

Of course, the planning and design of these infrastructure projects were all discussed and agreed upon by him and **. The concept of drugs and toxic substances sharing the same origin, particularly the latter, plays a crucial role in material selection for pharmacological research.

"...Xiao Yi...you've really gone to a lot of trouble..." Zhong Yunxiu looked at Han Yi and said with great emotion as he recounted every detail of the reasons.

As the leader of a faction, she naturally knew how much effort it would take to build something from scratch, especially now with external blockades in place, to realize the current blueprint. "It's nothing, just a small matter," Han Yi waved his hand, his expression calm.

The three of them surveyed the area roughly.

"I've met the sect master!"

"Sect Master..."

The elders from the Nine-Bend Sect who had followed Zhong Yunxiu were all excited to see that she could now walk and that her injuries seemed to have improved a lot, and they all bowed to her.

For these elderly people, Zhong Yunxiu's identity was not just that of a sect leader, but also that of a pillar of support for them.

"Sect Leader, have you fully recovered from your injuries?" Chen Yun emerged from the crowd and asked.

"About 80 or 90 percent... There are still some lingering symptoms, but it's nothing serious, it'll be fine in a while," Zhong Yunxiu said with a smile.

"How are you all settling in? Are you getting used to living here?"

"The food and lodging... are all quite good..." Chen Yun couldn't help but glance at Han Yi, then paused, "It's all thanks to... Inspector Han... for being so thoughtful in everything..."

Her voice softened slightly at the end of her sentence, as if she were extremely afraid of Han Yi.

Actually, it wasn't just her; ever since Han Yi's "glorious" record came out, everyone's attitude towards Han Yi... has been one of both respect and fear.

He single-handedly slaughtered more than 300 people, leaving no survivors... Even the biggest villains in novels are not necessarily so ruthless.

Even though they knew in their hearts that such a terrifying record was for their own benefit, they still couldn't help but feel intimidated by dealing with such a powerful demon.

Zhong Yunxiu frowned, but didn't directly address the question. Instead, she changed the subject: "Have all those meat fields we brought from inside the sect been properly stored? Are they damaged?"

"They've all been placed in the open space at the back of the valley. The mutant species were just planted, and the meat field is still small, so the output isn't high right now." Seeing that Han Yi wasn't mentioned again, Chen Yun breathed a sigh of relief. "Although we were in a hurry on the way and damaged some mutant species slightly, fortunately, there's plenty of fresh and high-quality blood from monsters here in Black Miasma Mountain. Overall, the output is even higher than before."

"Yes, it's good that the alien species is alright. The Flesh Field is the foundation of our Nine Curves Sect. As long as it's still there, we still have a chance." Zhong Yunxiu nodded. "Everyone, if you had the chance now, would you still want to go back openly and honestly?"

Her words immediately caused a stir in the crowd.

Leaving their homes and abandoning all ties, they came to this desolate and barren land. It's impossible not to miss the past.

Although these elders of the Nine-Bend Gate followed the sect wholeheartedly, if they had the chance to return to a bustling town and walk openly on the streets, they would surely have their own thoughts. Unfortunately, they can never go back.

The local military had long ago listed them as wanted criminals, posting their portraits on the city gates with a hefty reward. If they went back, and their identities were exposed, they would face certain death.

"What does the sect leader mean?" Chen Yun said with a wry smile, "We old folks have followed you until now, which is enough to prove our loyalty. Why do we need to test you like this?"

“Testing? No, that’s not what I meant.” Zhong Yunxiu shook her head. “Why don’t you think about it? Our Nine Curves lineage, from the original Nine Curves Academy, to the Nine Curves Gate that was forced to become independent, and now we’re wanted by the authorities… In all the hardships and difficulties we’ve faced… what exactly did we do wrong?”

Everyone present fell silent.

Yes, from beginning to end, Jiuqu Academy has never intentionally caused trouble. In each incident, Jiuqu Academy has played a passive role, forced to become independent, forced to flee, and forced to come to this barren land. "We at Jiuqu Academy are few in number and weak in strength. So from the beginning, we never had any intention to harm others," Zhong Yunxiu continued. "What we wanted to do was only to protect ourselves. Think about it, after leaving Jingtian Manor, we kept a low profile in everything we did, and took the initiative to go to the most remote Wangshan, wanting to escape the vortex of struggle and live a peaceful life. But what was the result? Who made us end up like this?"

A voice gradually rose from the calm crowd.

"...the government troops..."

"Yes, it's the government troops..."

"It's the government troops' fault, it's all their fault!"

Finally, someone shouted out from the crowd.

Zhong Yunxiu nodded: "That's right. We didn't do anything wrong... All of this was persecution by the government army... Everyone knows my personality. We don't bully others or cause trouble, but we absolutely cannot let others bully us."

But back to reality, the government troops tore Jingtian Manor apart, massacred several branch leaders, and forced my Jiuqu Sect into exile, leaving us sparsely populated... We've been bullied by the government troops to this extent... I just want to ask you one thing, are you content with this?"

"Not reconciled!"

"I'm not reconciled!!"

"I'm not reconciled!!!"

"If you had the chance, would you choose to take revenge?"

"revenge!"

"Revenge!! Revenge!!!"

"revenge…..."

Looking at the crowd, everyone's emotions were completely stirred up, and it was no longer a stagnant pool.

Zhong Yunxiu seized the opportunity to press her advantage: "Then what wrong did Han Yi do? The government troops were chasing us, and he was only forced to fight back to save people. It's one thing for others to criticize him, but not for us! He not only saved me and you, but also our entire Nine Bends lineage!"

"Indeed, Senior Brother Han is a hero of our Nine Turns Sect, a true hero and a role model for us all!!"

"That's right! If I had your senior brother's strength, I could kill three hundred people, or even three thousand, without hesitation!!"

"Yes, are we allowed to hunt them down but not fight back? Well done, Senior Brother Han!!!"

The sentiment is exciting.

Zhong Yunxiu's explanation completely reversed the reputation of Han Yimen.

"Master..." Han Yi finally understood Zhong Yunxiu's intention.

Bring him before the crowd, defend him and explain the matter, thereby breaking down the barriers between him and the crowd and bringing them closer.

Although he doesn't care much about what others think of him, a harmonious relationship is much better than indifference.

"Han Yi has done so much for us. From now on, if you have any thoughts, don't hold back. Speak them up so we can discuss them together and avoid conflicts," Zhong Yunxiu said with a smile. "Sect Leader, what are you saying? It was Senior Brother Han Yi who saved us; how could we possibly hold a grudge?"

"Yes, yes, how could we be ungrateful? If you need anything from now on, just let us know, and we will do our best."

"Good. Next time you go out to fight, don't forget to call us. I've been wanting to get rid of those bastards in the government army for a long time..."

For a moment, everyone was excited, and when Han Yi was mentioned, they were less afraid and more affectionate.

Zhong Yunxiu smiled, nodded, and looked at Han Yi, signaling him to say something.

Han Yi understood, stepped forward, clasped his hands and smiled: "Dear senior brothers and sisters, we had just moved here and there were too many things to do. I didn't have time to take care of everyone's feelings. It was my fault. I apologize to everyone here."

Since Zhong Yunxiu took the initiative to step forward and help him ease the tension between himself and the others.

From both a moral and logical standpoint, this is a good thing.

His gesture of greeting caused everyone to scatter and make way for him.

"Senior brother, you're too kind. A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude, let alone the debt of saving a life. Just tell me what you need."

"I noticed my junior brother was close to me before, and now I feel even closer to him."

Everyone returned the greetings and expressed their gratitude.

"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony." Han Yi smiled and said, "Our encampment in Moyou Valley is still a bit small. If you have any free time, you can hunt monsters around here to create extra space."

In addition, many medicinal herbs in this Black Miasma Mountain are extremely useful. I will compile a list later, and everyone can pick some. When you go out, remember to bring a sachet to ward off miasma.

"Okay, I'll go prepare right away. I've been here so long, I'm practically crawling with lice..."

After receiving Han Yi's instructions, the group gradually dispersed under Chen Yun's leadership.

Watching the crowd depart, Han Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of emotion.

Old ginger is spicier...

Zhong Yunxiu easily resolved a major problem with just a few words.

When he first arrived at Moyou Valley, he couldn't directly give orders because many of the elders from the Nine Turns Sect had more seniority than Han Yi.

He could only delegate many tasks to the people from Tao Yaohui's Yingtang and Qu Qiao's Xuanwutang.

However, these sects were only newly established, and their average strength was far inferior to that of the Nine-Bend Sect Elder.

During that period, Han Yi was also extremely busy and exhausted.

With the help of these elderly people, his stress has been significantly relieved. "Thank you for your intervention, Master," he said, bowing to Zhong Yunxiu in gratitude.

"Xiao Yi, why are you saying all this? I've seen you working so hard for the Nine Turns Sect, and I'd feel bad if I didn't do something in return," Zhong Yunxiu said with a smile.

The three chatted as they walked, and soon reached the edge of the camp.

Near the edge, a ring of small purple flowers was planted, their faint light shimmering as they swayed in the wind.

"This is the Purple Ghost Flower. Thanks to my friend's cultivation and modification, it can reproduce quickly and is used to resist miasma," Han Yi said with a smile.

Beyond the purple flowers, in the distance, miasma, like thick fog, blankets the entire mountain range and sea of ​​trees, stretching to the horizon.

"Your friend must be the one from the Hu family... I didn't expect him to take the initiative to help under the pressure of the government army. This friendship is extremely rare, you must cherish it." Zhong Yunxiu instructed.

"Yes. I understand." Han Yi nodded. Just as he was speaking, the miasma suddenly flickered, and the cloud-like white mist parted.

call! ! !

Before the others could react, a streak of snow-white light leaped out like lightning and pounced on Han Yi.

It was a huge, silver-white ice wolf.

Its shoulder height alone exceeds 1.3 meters. Its size is comparable to that of a male lion, and the silver-white giant wolf has a flowing mane like a lion on its neck, making it majestic and extraordinary.

"Alright, alright, Xiaoyue." Han Yi forcibly shoved the sticky tongue back in and dragged him off his body.

This guy is getting heavier and heavier...

It's only because his physical strength is strong enough; if it were someone else, that one lunge would probably have forced them to start over.

"Which little ice wolf is this?!" Zhong Han's mouth gaped open, her pupils dilated. She clearly remembered petting Xiaoyue not long ago; it was small, soft, and adorable then. How could it be like this after just a few days...?

"This guy... he probably ate too much and developed too much..." Han Yi smiled wryly.

He felt that Xiaoyue was now in a period of rapid growth, changing every day and increasing in size by several centimeters each day.

If it continues to grow at this rate, sooner or later we'll have an extra ice wolf mount.

“But… this is too fast…” Zhong Han muttered to herself.

No matter what, she couldn't connect the giant wolf in front of her, which vaguely resembled the king of wolves, with the soft and cuddly little cutie from the past.

Her eyes were also somewhat vacant. If she had known that Xiaoyue would develop so quickly, she should have petted the wolf's head a little longer back then.

"Xiao Yi, when you summoned the wolf pack to surround You Shang before, did you also do it through Xiao Yue...?" Zhong Yunxiu asked softly.

“That’s right. I know nothing about the beast-taming methods that people talk about; it’s all just hearsay.” Han Yi nodded.

Everyone says that the art of beast taming is difficult to learn, but in his opinion, it's just that he hasn't found the right method.

Isn't his indirect control also a form of beast taming?
