Chapter 135: Chapter 134: Fishing Law Enforcement? (5/5)
This time, He Fengdi came up to say hello, stating that he had seen Han Yi kill the four-meter-tall Demon Clan members. This was his way of expressing his lack of ill intentions. He further mentioned that after returning, he would invite Han Yi for more exchanges, indicating his desire to build a rapport.
Connecting with those stronger than oneself was only common sense.
Han Yi did not refuse, “Elder Brother He thinks too highly of me. It was merely by a stroke of luck that 1 managed to pull off such a feat. 1 lad it happened anywhere else, I would surely be the one dead.”
“However, I have always preferred solitude over boisterous occasions. I hope Elder Brother He can understand/’
“Furthermore, the Spirit Wine at Yi Xian Building is not bad. Whenever you’re free, let me treat you to a hearty drink”
Han Yi’s message was clear. He did nor declare outright that he was strong but displayed a humble demeanor, revealing his preference for keeping a low profile. He politely requested He Fengdi not to publicize his affairs, and with his final remark, conveyed that he was not declining rhe chance to keep in touch.
He Fengdi’s face brightened with delight, “Junior Sister Chu once said that Junior Brother Han is a diligent cultivator. It seems that her words hold true. No wonder you possess such impressive strength. I admire you greatly.” “Alright, once we return to Xuandan Sect, allow me to be the host and treat you at Yi Xian Building.”
They briefly chatted some more before He Fengdi left with a smile.
Seated in a meditative posture, Han Yi didn’t despise this behavior of currying favor with the strong. In both the Cultivation World or any other world, it’s always like this.
Flocking to the strong is not pitiful, while bullying the weak is deplorable.
Besides, he wasn’t a strong cultivator yet himself.
This time, no one came to disturb him again.
As usual, Han Yi decided to undertake some summarization.
He first went through each and every detail of his past two months in the Cave Heaven world, repeatedly analyzing it until he was sure he had left nothing out.
Next, he made a mental list of the losses and gains from his Cave Heaven trials.
The main losses were Spiritual Talismans and magical weapons, including the Annihilation Bailsman, Shadow Bearing Sword, Seven Stars Sword, Rosy Clouds Sword, four Wind Demon Daggers, and other inferior sword tools.
On the other hand, there were two gains.
One was the ball of light from rhe witch’s hand, known as the Facing Reality Imprint in rhe Cultivation World or the Origin Qi in rhe Cave Heaven world.
The second was a stone insect that could enhance his physical constitution, also from the witch’s hand.
The Origin Qi was still in his storage bag, while the stone insect had already been consumed and digested.
However, the effect of the stone insect still awaited verification.
Besides these, there were also his insights.
The Taixu Illusionary Realm, Demon Clan, Li Changsheng, funeral cloth, Sword Cliff, Sword Immortal, Southern Dipper Divine Palace, Yujing Mountain, White Jade Tower, Spirit Combat Sect, Daqian…
Having summed up his experiences and gains in rhe Cave Heaven world, the next thing was to plan.
Undoubtedly, upon returning to Xuandan Sect, he’d have to replace his sword tool. If there were daggers available, he’d need to ger a set of those as well.
Moreover, this time, rhe daggers would have to be at least superior-grade magical tools to meet his needs.
If there’s an opportunity, he’d need ro buy an ultimate-grade magical tool. However, he was short on money. Han Yi contemplated the items in his storage bag and planned to sell what he could ro save up for the magical tool.
Or should he sell the Golden Light Shuttle and buy an ultimate-grade Sword Tool more suited to him?
Han Yi did not dismiss this idea completely.
The Immortal Boat traveled at breakneck speed, unpredictably.
The journey to and fro was riddled with towering mountain ranges and vast landscapes.
From the southeastern direction of Qianzhou, they crossed rhe vast expanse of Qianzhou, moved over the boundary of Qian and Shu, entered Shu State, traversed across many counties and towns, until finally arriving at Xuandan Sect.
However,
Upon entering Shu State, specifically Lingfu County, the Immortal Boat suddenly halted. Among the three Supreme Elders standing at the front of the boat, Fu Canghai and Su Changkong abruptly took to the sides, piercing straight through the cloud sea.
A moment later, they resumed their positions on rhe Immortal Boat. However, while two had left, three returned.
Accompanying them when they returned was rhe head of rhe Xuandan Sect, Yuan Shun.
Yuan Shun s face was calm, unreadable, communicating with other Golden Core Supreme Elders through his spiritual sense alone.
However, after Yuan Shun boarded rhe Immortal Boat, the speed of the boat suddenly increased by thirty percent, as fast as thunder and lightning, the clouds and the mountains and lakes below whizzed by at extreme speed.
“Master Yuan is actually here, so it seems like something must have happened.”
“Could it be a law enforcement trap? But the fish did not take the bait?”
The thought emerged in Han Yi’s inner heart, otherwise it would be hard to explain Yuan Shim’s sudden appearance and the sudden increase in the speed of the Immortal Boat.
After that, the journey was smooth.
Thanks to the increased speed of the Immortal Boat, what would have taken a month’s journey was shortened by seven days.
On the Immortal Boat, Han Yi also tried to measure the speed of his cultivation and found no change. After his body absorbed the Stone Insect he had exchanged from the witch, there was no visible effect as if a stone had sunk into the sea.
Han Yi was despaired, but there was nothing he could do.
Upon returning to the Xuandan Sect, as expected, another grand observatory conference was held. Many disciples from both inside and outside the peak, through rhe Illusion Fairy Mirror, watched the scene of the Immortal Boat landing and over a hundred disciples returning.
After a vigorous ceremony, everyone went their separate ways.
After more than three months, Han Yi returned to Azure Dragon Peak. When he stepped into his own courtyard, he felt a sense of homecoming.
Having traveled through rime for more than twenty years, he only felt at home when he returned ro his own courtyard in the Xuandan Sect.
Next, Han Yi began to inventory his belongings.
There were six storage bags that hadn’t been opened yet. Four of them were from the Robbing cultivators he met outside Daofu City, one was from Liu Heng of Daofu City, and one was from rhe spear-wielding youth who was presumably a descendant of the Daqian Duke that he killed in the Evil Mountain Range.
Superior magical tool: one piece, Golden Light Shuttle.
Top-grade magical tool: one piece, Silver Makeup Mirror.
Mid-grade magical tool: several pieces, among them, none were sword tools.
Inferior Magical tool: None, all were sold. The only leftover sword tool was self-detonated by Han Yi in the Cave Heaven world.
Spiritual Talismans: an Annihilation Talisman, two Yin Thunder Talismans, two Escaping Talismans, and several Explosion Symbols…
After listing the magical tools and spiritual talismans, Han Yi then calculated his Spirit Stones. There were more than two thousand eight hundred middle-grade spirit stones in the storage bag, over two thousand of which were from the original owner of the Golden Light Shuttle.
“The price of a top-grade magical tool is over a thousand middle-grade spirit stones. If 1 buy an ordinary top-grade sword tool, more than two thousand spirit stones should be enough.”
“As for my daily cultivation, if I really run out of spirit stones, 1 can sell the unused magical tools, the Silver Makeup Mirror is not indispensable.”
“Alright, that’s settled.”
The next day, Han Yi went straight to the Nine Dragons Shop in Red Sun Fang. This time, the shop was not run by He Fangwei, but another shopkeeper at the ninth level of the Qi Cultivation stage.
After some inquiries, Han Yi learned that He Fangwei had been transferred to the branch at the Combat Peak.
Han Yi’s eyes flashed, and after giving thanks, he chose not to sell his magical tools and left instead.
Even acquaintances would flay him, and strangers would likely butcher him. Han Yi was no fool.
However, after a brief hesitation, he headed straight for Combat Peak.
His own strength was already not weak. Within the entire sect, apart from the elder-level Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, he feared no one else. Even if he encountered the first in the Earth Ranking, Geng Changxu, or the second in the Earth Ranking, An Xin, with the Golden Light Shuttle in his hand, he would dare to fight.
Strength is confidence. At this moment, unmasking himself to face He Fangwei was inconsequential.
If at this moment when he believed himself to be fearless of any cultivator below the Foundation Establishment Stage, he was still trembling before a mere ninth stage Qi Cultivator, then he might as well have cultivated into a dog.
On arrival at the Combat Peak, the scenes were still bustling. Moreover, because of the influence of the Cave Heaven trial, the other disciples from inside and outside the peak were extremely fanatic. This fanaticism would last for a while before gradually settling down and returning to normal.
Han Yi headed straight for the shops on the outskirts of Combat Peak, and walked into one of the stores displaying the Nine Dragon Shop sign.
The Nine Dragons Shop at Combat Peak was smaller than the one in Red Sun Fang, given how many cultivators congregated here, it was worth its weight in gold.
When He Fangwei saw Han Yi, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, bur rhe familiar smile on his face remained unchanged.
“Fellow Daoist, are you here to sell magical tools, or to buy spiritual talismans?”
