Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 936 Inheritance (Part 5)

Han Yi's words seemed to stir up some sadness in Chun Huiru's heart.

She sighed, her voice weary.

"Yes...we're all part of the same school...if everyone could think like my junior brother...we'd all be family..."

Chunhui has no evidence.

But she had a gut feeling.

Judging from that familiar figure, the person who made the move...

He's very similar to Lu Chenxin, who usually puts on a perfect facade, appearing righteous and upright in his actions. The school currently only has a handful of disciples—you could count them on one hand.

With a little thought, it's not hard to identify suspicious individuals.

no doubt.

Lu Chenxin is the prime suspect.

Only he possessed such strength, capable of injuring Chunhui while simultaneously clearing away any traces left in the complex Thunder Cave, moving freely and retreating with composure.

of course.

Worried that this would be too much of a blow to Lin Mu, and lacking substantial evidence, Chunhui didn't voice her speculation.

“Speaking of which… we’ll have to trouble you a lot with the future of our school of thought, Junior Brother…” She suddenly remembered something and said with a wry smile, “I’m currently unable to move around and we’re short-handed. If you have time, Junior Brother, please keep an eye on the Thunder Cave area.”

Chunhui didn't know if Lu Chenxin was the murderer. That was her greatest hope.

He hoped he was wrong, that the person wasn't Lu Chenxin, but someone else.

However, since something happened at Thunder Cave...

Ultimately, someone still needs to keep an eye on things a little, as a way of taking precautions in advance.

"Understood. I'll keep an eye on it." Han Yi nodded.

Lin Mu's guidance gave him a lot of inspiration, and he was preparing to go to the Thunder Cave to test it out. He would wander around and keep watch whenever he had free time, just to relax during his cultivation breaks.

Chunhui wasn't the talkative type, and Han Yi was used to listening. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they realized there wasn't much to say.

The room fell silent again.

Han Yi was just about to get up and take his leave.

"By the way, junior brother, Elder Hui said he wants to see you. You..."

. "

Just then, Chunhui called out to him, hesitatingly saying, "There must be something you need to talk to."

"Elder Hui..." Han Yi frowned slightly, somewhat puzzled, wondering what this mysterious Elder Hui was up to.

However, he was quite interested in Elder Hui, who was clearly from the same clan as Xiaoyue, so it wouldn't hurt to take a look.

"I'll go check on her right away. Senior sister, please focus on recovering."

After leaving Chunhuiru's residence, proceed straight ahead along the ice path.

Soon, Han Yi arrived in front of the main hall and saw the huge ice wolf statue that was more than ten meters tall.

Da da da…

hiss…...

As the footsteps drew closer, a single blue light suddenly appeared in the center of the ice sculpture. The blue light gradually expanded, growing larger and rapidly splitting into streaks that quickly moved along the ice wolf, the ice layer receding to form conspicuous blue lines.

The ice wolf, which had been dozing with its eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them, revealing a pair of indifferent blue eyes that gazed silently at Han Yi before it.

"You... are the person Rongrong entrusted to you...?"

An aged woman's voice, bearing the marks of a long time, appeared in Han Yi's mind.

"Greetings, Elder Hui. I am Han Yi." Han Yi replied telepathically, his divine sense revealing his presence.

"you…..."

Elder Hui stared intently at Han Yi with his blue eyes.

"Hmm? You... have the aura of your clan? Or is it someone from an unfamiliar clan..." Her tone was surprised, clearly she had noticed something.

“Her name is Xiaoyue.” Han Yi had already prepared his answer in his mind. “The Rongrong Sect Leader once said that she is a descendant of Baiya.”

"White teeth..."

Elder Hui fell silent, his eyes revealing an undisguised deep sense of remembrance.

"White Fang...it seems...she's dead too...no wonder this aura felt somewhat familiar, yet utterly alien..."

"I will bring Xiaoyue over in a while," Han Yi said, pressing his advantage. "I wonder if Elder Hui would be willing to give her some pointers then?"

He had long wanted to find a way to improve Xiaoyue.

Eating and sleeping all day long, consuming so many resources, yet making no progress—it's a complete waste of talent.

pity.

Han Yi had no idea how Ice Wolf could improve his training, so now that he had the opportunity, he naturally couldn't miss it. "No problem," Elder Hui readily agreed. "We can talk about Xiaoyue's matter later. What we need to discuss now is your matter."

"My business?" Han Yi was taken aback.

"You... are very good..." Elder Hui praised. "As a newcomer, you risked your life to save Huiru and even returned to the scene multiple times to try to find the murderer. This is enough to prove that Rongrong did not misjudge you."

"You flatter me, Elder Hui. It's just my duty." Han Yi's heart stirred, and he gave a very standard, template-like reply. "As a member of the school, I was just doing what I should do."

“You can’t say that. Merit must be rewarded; that’s the rule of our school.” Elder Hui spoke more and more fluently, as if his earlier sluggishness was due to his long slumber. “Material rewards will be provided by Elder Mu; you can go and ask him.”

"I see." Han Yi immediately laughed. "Elder Lin Mu has been very kind to me, so let's just forget about it."

The school is so poor that it can barely afford to eat. What good stuff can Lin Mu possibly bring out?

Besides, his original intention was not for a reward. Lin Mu was willing to teach him wholeheartedly and pass on his legacy to him, which was enough.

"Forget it? That won't do." Elder Hui's eyes lit up with a blue light, and a beam of icy blue light shot out from them, landing on Han Yi.

"Although I can't give you material things, you can't miss out on the rewards you deserve."

Han Yi wanted to dodge, but suddenly, as if sensing something, he stopped abruptly, letting the rays penetrate his body.

A continuous stream of cool energy surged in, circulating throughout his body, turning into a large amount of pure essence, which he digested, absorbed, and integrated into his body.

"This extremely cold icy power can repair hidden injuries to the body and, to a certain extent, strengthen the soul. Judging from your soul realm, you should be on the verge of a breakthrough. Go back and recuperate properly."

The stronger your spiritual essence and the more profound your accumulated knowledge, the more powerful the imagery of your achievements will be, which will undoubtedly be of great help to your future development...

"

Master Hui gave a simple explanation.

"Thank you very much, Elder Hui."

Han Yi bowed slightly in gratitude.

Compared to the total amount of vital energy in his body, the amount of vital energy he just absorbed was at most the size of a hair, not as exaggerated as the other party claimed.

But it's still a token of our appreciation from our elders, so we should express our gratitude when the time comes.

Besides, he could sense it.

Although the quantity of this aura was not large, its unique nature brought him a strange sense of coolness as it circulated within his body.

After absorbing lightning power continuously for several days, the agitated and violent fluctuations in his soul have gradually calmed down.

So it wasn't entirely useless. "By the way, besides the 'Four Seasons Demon Blade'... have you practiced anything else?" Elder Hui asked. "Your physical body... is surprisingly resilient..."

"Elder Hui has a keen eye," Han Yi said with a smile. "Back in the Central Plains, I had some exposure to martial arts and even practiced the Benzhen Gong."

"Oh? This isn't something you can just practice casually. Most people can't reach this level..." Elder Hui smiled meaningfully, as if he had seen through some of his secrets.

"Although we in the North mainly cultivate the soul, the physical body is always the vessel that carries the soul. I hope you can continue to maintain this and not waste your talent."

"You mean..." Han Yi was somewhat surprised and looked up at the person opposite him.

"If you want to advance to a higher realm... physical body and soul... are both indispensable. You will know the benefits of a strong physical body later..." Elder Hui did not say much and slowly closed his eyes.

"At the very least... with your current physical strength, the sect leader's test... shouldn't be a problem for you..."

She suppressed her aura, and her entire body was once again covered with a thick layer of ice.

"interesting…..."

Han Yi understood what the other party meant.

They've given you the boot.

He stood there quietly for a while, thinking for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, before turning and leaving.

……………

……………

Click.

A bolt of lightning flashed, rushing down along countless thick chains, illuminating the entire cave in a snowy white light.

Splash...

Han Yi sat cross-legged in the middle of the basin, as streams of electricity surged into his body.

Inside the ruins of the Thunder Cave, cracks were everywhere, like a dense spider web. The huge black cracks resembled the gaping maw of a monster, and wisps of chilling aura slowly drifted out from the gaps in the ground, sending shivers down one's spine.

Looking around, most of the dense caves that once stored lightning power had collapsed and sunken, with charred rubble scattered everywhere and pits of varying sizes visible all around, a scene of devastation and unevenness.

boom! ! !

With a deafening roar, countless iron chains rattled, and another massive bolt of lightning struck. Suddenly, the dim cave was illuminated by a blinding white light, as if a giant sword of thunder had descended from the sky, tearing the entire dark space apart.

The golden lightning quickly faded to white, transforming into arcs of electricity as the chains swayed, then shooting along the chains into the cave. Crackling sounds echoed...

In an instant, the dark cave floor seemed to glow, with thousands upon thousands of electric currents, like countless golden electric snakes, soaring and rolling wildly.

In an instant, a vast, golden ocean appeared on the ground, covering everything, with lightning and fire raging like mercury spilling onto the earth, flowing endlessly.

After quite a while...

The Thunder Cave then quieted down again, returning to its original tranquil and profound state.

Thunder Cave has been in this state ever since the last incident.

Most of the caves were destroyed and rendered unusable, losing their ability to store lightning power. They were left unrepaired and unmanaged.

Chun Huiru, the only descendant of the Chun family, almost lost his life.

The tradition is almost lost.

Even within the sect with few disciples, there was an internal traitor. Lin Mu had neither the inclination nor the means to rearrange manpower to repair the Thunder Cave.

It's also possible that the main lightning-attracting array is still intact, but the lightning storage cave has a problem, so there's no need to worry about it.

of course.

Han Yi believes that the former is more likely.
