Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 81 Headquarters

"roll!"

Han Yi unleashed the aura of a Blood Refining stage martial artist, instantly frightening the shifty-eyed man so much that he wet himself in fear.

Even so, the man muttered rudely, "Fine, don't change it then. Why are you being so fierce? It's just blood refining..."

Han Yi shook his head, ignoring the little incident, and continued browsing the items in the booklet.

"The Silk-Pulling Technique?"

This exchange booklet even allows you to exchange for a cultivation technique that includes a visualization diagram for entering the internal energy realm. However, to comprehend the visualization diagram, you need to exchange for a D-level lower-grade cultivation technique.

"This is simply a pie in the sky that's out of reach..."

..

"The Extraordinary Affairs Bureau is practically blatantly seducing martial artists, making them keep taking on missions. Their methods are truly ingenious!"

Han Yi chuckled bitterly to himself and continued flipping through the booklet. He had no shortage of other martial arts techniques; he just wanted to find one that suited the Xuan Tie Sword.

Unfortunately, he couldn't find a suitable martial art in this white jade-level investigator's exchange book.

The Xuan Tie Sword resembles a sword but is actually a knife. Although its shape is that of a sword, its way of exerting force is somewhat similar to that of a broadsword.

If he only practices one sword technique, he cannot fully unleash the power of the Xuan Tie Sword. However, if he chooses a saber technique, his 'basic saber technique' is not yet fully mastered.

Perhaps such martial arts techniques exist in the Jade-grade Investigator Exchange Book?

But with the skill to become a Jade-level investigator, it would be better to go within the sect and search for suitable martial arts! No, absolutely not!

Han Yi's initial thought was quickly dismissed.

He secretly reminded himself that he must not be tempted by the rewards from the Strange Affairs Bureau and lose sight of the essentials, forgetting his original purpose.

I'm here to find ways to increase my Yuan Power, not to work myself to death like a beast of burden for others!

"Huh, what's this...."

Han Yi caught a glimpse of a name he seemed to have heard somewhere before on the last few pages of the exchange book.

'The Yangyan Arrow is forged by a sorcerer using high-grade fire crystal. It is extremely powerful and extremely effective against Yin energy. Each arrow requires a C-grade superior skill. The arrow can be activated by the strength of a martial artist in the Meridian Opening stage or by a martial artist in the late Blood Refining stage by consuming Qi and blood.'

Note: If the user is in the late stage of Blood Refinement, this may shorten their lifespan. Use with caution!

Fire crystal, that long-forgotten name, awakened long-dormant memories in Han Yi. When he was still an outer disciple, his daily task was to go to the mines and dig for fire crystals…

He had previously speculated about the uses of fire crystals, but unexpectedly, he witnessed their true function here.

The Sunfire Arrow is forged from top-grade fire crystal stone!

Suddenly, Han Yi remembered something else. When he was in the outer sect mining camp, Black Wind Stronghold had robbed fire crystals and even swept away all the high-grade fire crystals that the sect's secret affairs hall was secretly transporting.

Moreover, when he encountered a bandit from Black Wind Stronghold before, he still had something called Brute Force Gu.

Is this a coincidence, or is there some conspiracy at play...?

"Hey Han, it's been so long, haven't you made your choice yet?"

"I am sitting in the hall," Bai Sanren shouted.

Bai Sanren and Qianxue didn't have anything to exchange, so they simply waited in the lobby. "Alright, let's go over now!"

Han Yi stopped overthinking. In any case, improving his strength as soon as possible was definitely the right thing to do.

However, he doesn't need martial arts techniques, weapons, or armor for the time being. In the end, he used his Grade C intermediate skill to exchange for a bottle of 'Essence Blood Pill'.

The Essence Blood Pill is made from the essence of poultry and animal blood and flesh, along with precious medicinal herbs such as ginseng. Therefore, it contains very few impurities and is said to be the most suitable pill for martial artists in the early stages of Blood Refining.

"Young Han, if you have too much erysipelas in your body, remember to take the Cleansing Spirit Pill to remove it..."

"Yes, what Master Bai said makes sense..."

Han Yi smiled helplessly. It seemed that Bai Sanren was somewhat dissatisfied with the bottle of pills he had exchanged for. Ever since leaving the Strange Affairs Room, Bai Sanren had been patiently instructing him.

However, it always felt like someone was missing along the way…

"Qianxue, why are you so quiet today? This isn't like you."

It took Han Yi a while to realize that Qianxue, who was usually lively, had been mostly silent the whole way.

"Hmph, you only remember me now!"

"I feel that Bai Sanren is here to protect you!"

"Nobody takes care of me at all!"

Qianxue pouted and said with dissatisfaction.

Han Yi and Bai Sanren were silent for a moment, then they laughed.

"Qianxue, didn't you skip breakfast? Come on, let's take another stroll through the food street in Yuqingfang."

Han Yi's skill in changing the subject was superb; he successfully steered Qianxue to another topic.

"it is good!"

When food was mentioned, Qianxue's eyes lit up, and she immediately perked up, instantly forgetting her earlier unpleasantness.

Heyuefang

"Mr. Bai, you should go back first. I have some things to take care of."

Han Yi planned to visit the Li residence to see Li Feng.

"Well, I was just about to visit an old friend... See you tonight..."

After leaving Heyuefang and walking through several streets.

Soon, Han Yi arrived at Shanzhongfang.

Shanzhongfang is the headquarters of the Crimson Flame Sect. All the halls are located here, and most of the inner disciples, stewards, hall masters, and elders also live here.

For various reasons, this was Han Yi's first time visiting the headquarters of the Crimson Flame Sect. He walked forward, carefully observing everything.

The headquarters of the Crimson Flame Sect is no different from a city within a city; it can be described as a small inner city.

Although the dark walls are not as towering as the outer city walls, just by looking at the black stone walls cast in one piece, you can tell that they are probably even more sturdy than the outer city walls.

In addition, disciples wearing black leather armor with crimson patterns on the hem of their clothes, dressed like soldiers, patrolled the two large iron gates and the city walls, carrying swords.

Figures moved about on the arrow towers and in the watchtowers on the walls, indicating that there were people stationed inside.

These disciples are all between '20 and 30' in strength, and they are all martial artists in the Bone Refining stage.

As expected, the Crimson Flame Sect's foundation is indeed profound... Han Yi sighed inwardly.

At the city gate entrance, several teams of disciples were checking people entering the city. The checks were extremely strict; anyone whose identity was not confirmed was not allowed to enter.

Although Han Yi has not yet issued the identity certificate for inner disciples, fortunately, Li Feng sent him a token when he replied to him yesterday.

"Han Yi, an inner disciple, is a distinguished guest of the Li family. He has Elder Li's written order to allow him to pass!"

After checking the token several times, a guard captain granted Han Yi permission to pass.

Han Yi casually cupped his hands in greeting before turning and stepping into the headquarters of the Crimson Flame Sect.

Or rather, in Crimson Flame City.

Han Yi gave him a small shock as soon as he entered the city.
