Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Ninety-Four: Qingxi River

The sky was not yet fully bright; the east was just beginning to lighten, the black sky was gradually fading, and the air was still filled with the mist of night.

Han Yi stretched and got up early to begin his daily cultivation.

"what?"

In the courtyard, Bai Sanren seemed to have gotten up even earlier.

"Practice hard in the coldest days of winter and the hottest days of summer."

"Young Han, come here and cultivate with this old man!"

This Bai Sanren… Han Yi touched his nose and smiled silently.

"Eyes follow hands, legs follow elbows, steps follow the body!" On the steps, Bai Sanren lay on a grand chair, smiling as he watched Han Yi cultivate, occasionally shouting out a few incantations.

"it works!"

After Han Yi put Bai Sanren's words into practice, his eyes lit up.

Some minor flaws in my training have been corrected. Although my strength has not improved, I can feel that the power of each move has increased considerably.

"Alright, Han, you can rest now." Bai Sanren clapped his hands, gesturing for Han Yi to come over. "I've found out about what you asked me to inquire about..."

"Han Yi, what are you thinking about?"

Since what happened last night, Qianxue's attitude towards Han Yi has suddenly become a bit cold again.

"nothing…..."

Han Yi, who was gulping down his spicy soup and eating his flatbread, suddenly paused, pondering the information Bai Sanren had given him. Previously, Han Yi had asked Bai Sanren to help him find out the meaning of the phrase "Shadow Master walks alone, a moment of eternity" shouted by the man in black.

After contacting several old friends, Bai Sanren learned about this matter.

The intelligence he provided was almost identical to Elder Li's, consisting mainly of information from the Shadow Pavilion.

The only difference was that Bai Sanren told Han Yi about the Shadow Pavilion's stronghold in Anyan City.

Han Yi had originally planned to find the Shadow Assassin's stronghold and then wait for an opportunity to try and find information about the person behind it all, but after the Iron Killing incident, it seemed unnecessary to go to the Shadow Assassin's stronghold...

"You still say you're not having any wild thoughts!"

"You ate my plate of fried dough!"

Qianxue shouted fiercely at Han Yi.

"Huh? No wonder it tastes so good..." Han Yi chuckled awkwardly, turned around and called out, "Boss, two more plates of fried dough sticks..." On the distant horizon, which was still a bit dark, the cold morning light turned into a golden and brilliant color in the blink of an eye, and Han Yi and the other two were instantly covered with a golden glow.

call out!

The three moved swiftly, crossing vast fields before arriving at a gently flowing stream.

"It should be right here."

Han Yi, speaking in a low voice from under his straw hat, placed his meter-long black iron sword, wrapped tightly in layers of black cloth, on his wide white robe, making it look like an inconspicuous stick.

To conceal his identity, he went to a general store and bought a straw hat and a loose-fitting coat.

"But there's nothing unusual here..."

Qianxue frowned on her delicate face as she carefully observed the changes in the 'evil-revealing talisman' in her hand.

"Let's go around a couple more times!" Han Yi paused and said slowly, recalling the mission he had received in the Extraordinary Affairs Room.

'A suspected river ghost has appeared upstream of the Qingxi River. Investigate for details. Mid-stage Bone Refinement level, minimum two people required. Reward: One bottle of Marrow Tempering Pill or Blood Transformation Pill. Note: Additional reward for discovering and killing the river ghost!'

This mission is a reconnaissance mission, with much lower requirements than the previous 'Wild Dog Crying at the Grave' mission.

In fact, most of the missions in the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau are investigation missions like this, which are the daily routine for most investigators. Missions like cleaning up evil spirits are only taken on by a few teams.

Han Yi originally wanted to take on some cleanup missions to increase his Yuan Power, but the requirements were either too high or too dangerous. There were no suitable ones, so he reluctantly accepted the mission to investigate the 'River Ghost'.

"Follow the stream, each person keep a distance equal to the distance of a 'manifestation talisman'..." Bai Sanren seemed quite experienced in this kind of thing, shouting and directing as he went. Han Yi walked along the riverbank, secretly observing his surroundings.

The river flows gurglingly, meandering and winding its way out from the depths of Black Rock Mountain, with lush trees and meadows on the banks, a vibrant green rolling in the air.

The chirping of birds could be heard from time to time, as if swallows were flying around. In the air, there was a faint fragrance carried by the breeze. It was the end of the hottest period of summer, the time when pomegranate flowers, oleanders and gardenias were in bloom and bearing fruit.

Everything seems normal here...

After walking for a while, Han Yi found nothing unusual.

He turned his head and carefully examined the surface of the water.

The Qingxi River is not very wide, only about six or seven meters wide, as if Han Yi could easily jump across it. However, the bottom of the river is not visible at a glance, and its depth is unknown.

The sweltering heat of midsummer made one sweat profusely, but the sight of the deep, cool, emerald-green river gave one the urge to strip naked and jump in for a refreshing dip. Han Yi shook his head, banishing the thought from his mind.

This 'Qingxi River' is indeed a bit strange....

However, I didn't see any problems with the 'manifestation talisman' or in my field of vision.

However, Han Yi was not careless at all. He still remembered the incident when he encountered that middle-aged woman in the forest last time. These things related to demons were very strange, and he had to be careful in everything he did.

Pat, pat

Han Yi carefully walked upstream along the Qingxi River.

"Phew, I really didn't find anything..."

At this moment, he arrived at the foot of a mountain, which was the end of the exploration range for this mission.

Apart from a few dilapidated wooden boats with rotten wood and broken sails, there was nothing else here.

Near the Qingxi River, under an old peach tree. "No trace of the 'river ghost' was found..."

"I didn't find anything unusual either..."

The three agreed to meet here after they finished their investigation.

"That completes the mission. Let's go back now."

Bai Sanren stroked his beard and said with a smile.

"What's going on? I thought I was going to show off my skills and display my power!"

Qianxue turned her head away, revealing a dissatisfied expression.

This time, she had prepared thoroughly to avenge her previous encounter with wild dogs, but it turned out she hadn't needed to do so and was about to go back.

"You little rascal, your injury just healed from last time, and you're already making a fuss here again..."

"That's normal... There aren't that many unexpected events..."

Bai Sanren snapped his fingers at Qianxue.

The water of the Qingxi River was a dark, cold green, and beneath its surface, countless eyes filled with resentment seemed to watch the three depart...
