Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter Ninety-Eight: Hearing Strange Voices Again

Chirp, chirp, chirp

After the hungry tiger died, the two black stripes on its body transformed into two ghostly accomplices, which circled around the hungry tiger and kept chirping, seemingly wailing about their master's death and feeling extremely sad.

"Human hearts are treacherous, but ghosts are inherently innocent..."

"People often scatter when faced with danger, but these few vengeful spirits seem even more loyal than humans..."

Han Yi sighed to himself.

The two vengeful spirits' extremely pitiful screams were truly heartbreaking to hear and brought tears to the eyes of all who heard them.

However, the remaining two ghosts, one only had a mouth and the other only had an eye. Considering the "one ear," "one eyebrow," and "one nose" that had just died, it is clear that these five ghosts may have been devoured by their "master" before they died, and not even a complete set of facial features remained.

So, why bother...?

"Weak in life, killed by a tiger; powerful in death, yet serving as a tiger's accomplice..."

Han Yi sighed and gently waved his right hand. The two vengeful spirits didn't even try to dodge before turning into wisps of green smoke and disappearing.

Name: Han Yi (16/114)

[Elemental Power Value]: 39

Twenty points of Yuan Power and two years of lifespan are yours.

"Brother Yi, are you alright...?"

Behind Han Yi, Qianxue ran over anxiously.

"It's alright, it's just that my clothes are a bit..."

Han Yi's newly bought, pristine white clothes were now stained with blood and dust. He should probably avoid wearing white clothes when going out in the future…

scoff!

Before the enormous tiger carcass, Han Yi skillfully gutted it, collecting useful items.

Tigers are valuable from head to toe; tiger skin, tiger blood, tiger meat, and tiger bones are all highly nutritious.

"This thing... if you used it to make medicinal wine, it would be incredibly potent..."

His expression was strange as he stared at the enormous thing between the tiger's legs.

Unfortunately, the flesh and blood of this beast, tainted by yin energy, are inedible; otherwise, the flesh and blood alone would be worth a fortune.

Since the tiger's blood, meat, and bones have all been tainted by yin energy, the only thing of value left is this tiger skin.

The tiger's fur was beautiful and its hide fresh; if it were intact, it would undoubtedly be worth a fortune. However, the several large holes on its hide significantly reduced its value. These were caused by Han Yi hacking at it with his Xuan Tie sword; there was no way to stop him in the heat of battle.

Fortunately, Han Yi didn't come away empty-handed!

He found a Xuan Yin Stone, about the size of a chicken egg, in the dantian area of ​​the giant tiger's abdomen!

This Xuan Yin Stone was shiny black, surrounded by wisps of black energy, and had two faint black lines on it. This was a 'second-tier Xuan Yin Stone'!

The first-tier Xuan Yin Stone I found on the wild dog leader last time added two years to my lifespan and twenty points to my Yuan Power!

And wouldn't this second-tier Xuan Yin Stone add even more!

Big win! I made a profit!

Han Yi grinned, his lips almost reaching the sky.

"Brother Yi, your drool..."

Qianxue reminded him with disgust. "Cough, cough!"

Han Yi quickly composed himself and coughed a few times.

Keep a low profile, keep a low profile, one must always keep a low profile...

He silently recited a few words to himself and calmed down.

Crackling!

The fire instantly reduced the tiger carcass to ashes, billowing black smoke and emanating a foul, pungent smell of burning.

The best way to deal with a corpse that has been exposed to yin energy is to burn it to ashes in a large fire; otherwise, there might be lingering problems...

Cough, cough...

At the entrance of the Bai family courtyard

"Master Bai, you rest first. I'll go to the Department of Extraordinary Affairs to exchange for a 'Spirit-Dispelling Talisman'..."

"Okay...go and come back quickly..."

Supported by Qianxue, Bai Sanren spoke weakly. Han Yi wore a bamboo hat and carried a talisman he had exchanged from the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.

This type of talisman is specially drawn by sorcerers to remove the yin energy from a martial artist's body. It is extremely effective, and of course, it is also very expensive, costing two hundred taels of silver per talisman.

The reward for the 'Investigate Qingxi River' mission is barely enough to exchange for one item. If you add the wear and tear on various weapons and clothing, you'll probably have to pay out of pocket!

It really proves the saying: "The extramarital affairs room makes money, and the extramarital affairs room spends it..."

Those old fogies in the government are really shrewd…

Han Yi secretly grumbled to himself.

After leaving the Strange Affairs Room, he first went to Fulinlou in Yuqingfang for a look, but Aqiu did not leave any mark on him.

"It seems nothing has happened these past two days..."

"How about we go to Changningfang to take a look?" Han Yi was very concerned about the strange illness that A Qiu had mentioned. He always felt that the Gu worms in the hands of Black Wind Village were related to this strange illness.

"Let's go take a look. Anyway, we'll be passing through Changning Ward on our way to the inner city."

He made a decision.

Changningfang

The gate at the entrance of the neighborhood was dilapidated, with half of it crookedly lying in the mud. Inside, there were dirt roads, and the sewage and mud that no one had cleaned made the whole street muddy.

Even though it's daytime, it's quiet inside, and there's not a soul in sight on the street. The only occasional sound is coughing coming from the shacks on either side of the street.

"It seems things are more serious than I thought..."

Han Yi frowned and trudged through the mud, stepping deep into the mud.

The road on the main street of Changningfang is in slightly better condition. It is paved with blue gravel and there is a row of various shops on both sides, but the doors are locked and the signs are covered with dust, indicating that they have been closed for a long time. Only a few food stalls selling steamed buns and dumplings have their wooden doors half open, and people inside are tidying up.

On the street, there were few people. Passersby hurried by, bought some dry food and snacks, and left quickly. Moreover, these people were hidden under patched, oversized robes and wore old hoods, so their faces could not be seen.

Apart from the occasional clatter of pedestrians walking and the clanging of wooden doors opening, the main street was eerily quiet, like a ghost street.

"The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female!"

"The spirit of the valley never dies; it is called the mysterious female..."

"The spirit of the valley never dies; this is called the profound..."

Han Yi had just walked through an alley when he heard a rustling sound coming from it. Someone was shouting something in a melodious voice, seemingly a leader, and then a large group of people echoed and muttered in response, some of them with very strange accents.

"This is…..."
