Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 676 Lotus Leap True Skill

Thump...

A soft knock sounded on the door.

"Go in," Han Yi said calmly.

He put down his pen and paper, rubbed his slightly sore eyes, stretched his neck, and prepared to receive visitors.

Since changing his name to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he has spent most of his time eating, drinking, and relieving himself in this two-story building.

With the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect newly established, there were too many official matters to attend to, and many things required his personal review and confirmation as the sect leader.

Fortunately, with Zhong Han's help, a large part of the work was taken care of.

"Sect Master, it's me..." Meng Ren tiptoed into the room.

He was bald, strong and muscular. He walked normally, but when he deliberately slowed his pace, he had a comical, clown-like quality that made people laugh.

"Hmm?" Han Yi frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Are you injured? Or is your leg uncomfortable? Why are you walking like a girl?"

"Sect Master, they all say I'm reckless... I'm just more composed and mature..." Meng Ren said somewhat embarrassedly, touching his shiny bald head.

"You believe everything they say?" Han Yi said speechlessly. "What, does becoming the sect leader make me less of a person? Does it mean we have to sever all ties? That we'll become estranged? What will you do if I'm no longer the sect leader one day?"

“Then…I…” Meng Ren was clearly at a loss.

Looking at his follower of many years, Han Yi immediately smiled: "Alright, alright, do what you did before. Call me what you used to call me, don't worry about it."

"Okay, big brother!" Meng Ren immediately resumed his address, calling out enthusiastically, his tone noticeably lighter and his body much more relaxed.

"Ah."

Han Yi was very satisfied with his attitude and smiled with satisfaction.

He is a person who values ​​relationships and dislikes changes in his status, which has led to rifts in his relationships with those around him.

That's pointless.

What keeps people connected is affection.

It is by no means about external status or position.

"Let's not talk about that. How many people did you bring this time? How's it going at the martial arts school?" he asked casually.

"There are over thirty people in total, all carefully selected orphans with clean backgrounds. I have personally tested their talent; they are all above average. Those with slightly lower aptitude who are willing to stay are in the martial arts school, while those who are not are trained alongside them to make their own way in the world," Meng Ren replied.

"As for other aspects, everything is normal at the martial arts school. There are currently about a hundred people, divided into three groups according to their strength. Those who may enter the sect are under special observation."

"Are the funds and supplies... enough?" Han Yi asked with concern.

Having climbed his way up from the bottom as a disciple, he knew that training disciples, especially someone like Meng Ren who started as an ordinary person, required a considerable amount of resources.

"It's alright. Because of the current chaos, many wealthy families around here are sending money. One reason is that they want to send their children to learn martial arts for protection, and the other is that they want to befriend martial arts schools and help them resolve troubles."

Therefore, with one increase and the other decrease, consumption and income can barely be maintained.

"Yes, if you don't have enough money, just say so. Although the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is short of money right now, we can ignore everything else, but your martial arts school is the only place we must strongly support," Han Yi said calmly.

"Here's what we'll do. Go down to the Nine-Bend Hall later and collect some extra funds to expand the martial arts school and recruit more disciples. They can be considered the new blood for the future of our Ten Thousand Beasts Sect."

With a wave of his hand, he handed over a written edict.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect is now lying dormant in these deep mountains, and the replenishment of its disciples mainly relies on Meng Ren's martial arts school.

If things go smoothly for him, he can recommend around a hundred disciples a year.

Of course, these hundred or so people first entered the outer sect of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, and then underwent another selection process before they could be considered true members of the sect.

"it is good."

Meng Ren nodded and accepted the imperial edict, then hesitated before saying, "By the way... elder brother... I..."

"What? Just say it straight. There's no need for such beating around the bush between us." Meng Renyi gritted his teeth, his face contorted with sarcasm. "Big brother, I have a younger sister, in the prime of her youth, a beautiful woman with a slender figure..."

"Stop!" Han Yi interrupted him before he could finish speaking.

"What is it?" Han Yi said unhappily. "If you dare to say you want to introduce your sister to me, I'll break your legs today."

What he hates most is the idea that this change in status requires sending his family members away.

What's the difference between this and selling your daughter or son?

Seeing the murderous intent in Han Yi's eyes, Meng Ren couldn't help but shiver.

He quickly flattered, "No, no, brother, you're overthinking it. I hope to send my sister to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect so she can become your disciple... Don't worry, brother, my sister has some talent in martial arts; she's definitely not one of those mediocre talents!"

Meng Ren has been the head of the martial arts school for many years. Although he still has a bold and unrestrained personality, he has experienced a lot and is by no means the simple-minded person he appears to be.

He has now pledged his allegiance to Han Yi, entrusting his life and fortune to the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect.

So now that Han Yi has risen to prominence, he naturally wants to strengthen the relationship between the two.

The master-disciple relationship is the most stable relationship in this generation, second only to that between father and son.

Just like Han Yi, even though he is now the sect leader of the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect, he is still a junior in front of Zhong Yunxiu and treats her with the respect due to a disciple.

Han Yi, remembering this matter, realized he had misunderstood the other party, smiled and did not refuse: "Send it to me for a look first, as a disciple in name only."

If she has talent, it wouldn't hurt to promote her to disciple. However, there's one thing: I might not have time to manage her then, and she'll most likely be sent to Master's side.

"Thank you very much, elder brother." Meng Ren was overjoyed and immediately bowed deeply.

Being a nominal disciple doesn't sound very prestigious, but it depends on who the master is.

Han Yi currently has only one disciple, Tao Yaohui, who is also a nominal disciple.

Tao Yaohui is now the deputy head of the Yingtang Hall, truly wielding great power.

With such a precedent in place, Meng Ren was not worried that his younger sister would have no future.

Besides, once she's sent to Zhong Yunxiu for instruction, it's hard to imagine her not having a future.

Assigning any task to Jiuqu Hall would be a piece of cake.

After seeing Meng Ren off, Han Yi continued to handle official business.

Most of them are routine matters of the sect, such as personnel transfers and financial expenditures.

Han Yi was incredibly quick in handling matters; he would approve what was acceptable and set aside what wasn't.

However, while handling official approval matters, he was clearly distracted, and seemed somewhat impatient and agitated.

In fact, Zhong Han usually handles these kinds of official business for him.

However, Zhong Han had other important matters to attend to these past few days, so he had to personally intervene.

call…...

After a long while, Han Yi breathed a sigh of relief, put down his pen and paper, and looked much more relaxed.

He can endure some hardship if you make him practice martial arts.

But sitting still for hours on end, staring at the text, is really a bit of a headache.

"Ugh..."

The sound of the chair scraping against the floor startled Xiaoyue, who was lying down sleeping. She looked up and called out affectionately.

"This is none of your business. Go to sleep." Han Yi stroked the wonderfully soft wolf fur, then got up and left.

Lately, I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoyue. She just eats and sleeps all day long, and she's even too lazy to go out and bully small animals, which is her favorite thing to do.

However, judging from its inflatable body, Han Yi knew that it was probably about to enter another period of rapid growth.

So we let it be, feeding it well and keeping it by our side.

Han Yi strolled away from the small wooden building and arrived at the side hall of the Law Hall.

It is also a wooden building, but it occupies a huge area, with thick pillars neatly arranged in a semi-circular shape like a stadium.

"metropolitan!"

When the disciples guarding the area saw Han Yi arrive, they all bowed respectfully.

The news that Han Yi had become the sect leader and renamed the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect had already been spread to everyone through the notices from the several hall masters.

For ordinary disciples, especially for many of the former elders of Jiuquyuan.

Han Yi truly saved the entire Nine Turns lineage.

Everything he did afterward was for the sake of the Nine Turns Sect and Jingtian Manor.

Even the last vestiges of Jingtian Manor were preserved by him.

Therefore, it was only natural and popular choice for him to become the sect leader, and there was no opposition.

Everyone unanimously agreed.

Upon entering the law hall, the first sound that reached my ears was the arguing between Master Fu and the Grand Secretary.

When the Myriad Beasts Sect was first established, all sorts of rules and regulations needed to be re-established and improved by the two of them.

Therefore, the work of these two elders is extremely busy.

Rules and laws, if poorly established, will inevitably lead to complaints from both superiors and subordinates. They cannot be taken lightly in the slightest.

Han Yi nodded to them as a greeting, and then walked towards the place where the books were stored at the back.

As soon as I opened the door, the first thing that hit my nose was the smell of sawdust.

Then there was a long row of bookshelves, arranged in a somewhat chaotic manner.

These bookshelves were all moved out of the library by a group of people working together.

On some bookshelves, books are stacked together, like small mountains.

Under some bookshelves, traces of the fight still remain, with dark red bloodstains on the edges.

Some bookshelves were even supported by pieces of wood, which were now propped up with stones and leaned against the wall.

When we moved the books, time was of the essence, and there wasn't much time to think about it.

So, everyone just packed up the bookshelves and books and took them all with them.

The building where the Law Hall is located was also recently completed, and these bookshelves were just put in.

There are many details inside that I haven't had time to organize yet.

Han Yi shook his head, not angry.

He was indeed very busy with official duties, but everyone in the Ten Thousand Beasts Sect was very busy.

This kind of simple tidying up is far too low a priority compared to other urgent matters.

*Sizzle...*

Han Yi gently placed his hand on the side of the bookshelf and gave it a push.

These bookshelves are made of the finest materials, and with the layers of books piled on top, each one must weigh four or five hundred pounds, close to half a ton.

However, this weight was only slightly strenuous for Han Yi at his current level, not enough to break a sweat. His current physical strength, when unleashed at full power, would be at least close to ten thousand jin.

Han Yi walked around the room, tidying it up a bit.

Although it's still a bit dirty and messy, it's a completely different scene compared to the beginning.

After tidying up the place, Han Yi went straight to the innermost small room.

Take out the key and unlock the door.

The small room was much tidier and cleaner.

There are no bookshelves here; instead, there are small tables.

There were labels on the table: Nine Curves, Phoenix Cry, Reprint...

A series of exquisite black boxes sat in the center of the table, each locked. *Clatter*...

Han Yi took out a set of keys and opened the black box labeled with the words "Floating Light".

What came into view was a thick, heavy book, padded with red cotton cloth, with dried insect repellent pills stuffed in the gaps.

"Lotus Leap True Skill..." Han Yi gently took out the book, his expression moved.

What's inside this room is none other than the true Jingtian Seven Courtyards True Skill.

Although most of them are copies after being copied, the content is not bad, and the power after cultivation will not be bad either.

"Lotus Leap... It's said to be the fastest technique in Jingtian Manor... Now that my Willow Dance Technique is fully mastered, small-scale dodging and weaving isn't a weakness. What I lack is linear acceleration..."

Han Yi disregarded his status, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began to carefully peruse the contents of the ancient texts. "Twin lotus blossoms... manifested through thought, the path ahead is unobstructed, leaping forth reveals true reality... then it arrives in an instant..."

Han Yi read it through once and understood the basic principles of this technique.

"Simply put, it involves concentrating energy in several acupoints on the legs. When accelerating in a straight line, it follows a sequence, like a rocket's three-stage booster. Each time a speed limit is reached, a burst of energy explodes, accelerating several times in succession, breaking through speed limits. This short-range acceleration is practically invincible..."

Because the shape that appears after the force explodes resembles blooming lotus flowers, it is named Lotus Leap... So the first level of this skill... first requires planting a seed of force on the Yangjiao acupoint on the lower leg..."

Han Yi closed his eyes, but quickly opened them again.

His calves suddenly burst open like springs, and his whole body shot forward like an arrow.

laugh…...

Han Yi stomped his left foot on the ground, thus neutralizing the momentum and stopping his body.

"The first level... is complete..."

【Main Skills】: Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm (Eight-layer inscription, characteristics: extreme cold, extreme yin, profound darkness); Mending Heaven Technique (highest level, characteristics: flawless); Dancing Willow True Skill (eighth level, characteristics: riding the wind, borrowing strength, clouds move with the wind); Lotus Leap True Skill (first level, characteristics: condensation).

"Condensation... refers to the process of condensing energy seeds in the vital acupoints of the legs... each layer will increase the burst acceleration effect... let's try again!"

Now that he had mastered the basics of the technique, Han Yi wasted no time and directly tapped the "+" sign next to the Lotus Leap Technique several times with his mind.

With my attention focused, the panel suddenly jumped, and the first layer instantly became the third layer.
