Han Yan was extremely nervous.
He tried his best to appear pleasantly surprised, guarding against Xing Hongxuan's attack at any time.
Xing Hongxuan suddenly walked forward and grabbed his hand tightly. She smiled excitedly. "As expected of you, you're really my lucky charm!"
"As long as you're happy."
[Xing Hongxuan's favorability towards you has increased. You can become Dao companions. Favorability: 3 stars.]
This line of words appeared in Han Yan's mind. He smiled bitterly.
However, Xing Hongxuan did not see through it. She walked around Han Yan, picked up the alchemy manual, and began to flip through it.
She seemed to be looking for something.
Han Yan waited nervously.
Should he make a move?
If he let Xing Hongxuan take the alchemy manual away, he would not be able to obtain the sword technique.
Xing Hongxuan seemed to be injured. Her breathing was very unstable.
Trick her?
Let her know the difficulty and retreat.
Just as Han Yan was hesitating, a gust of cold wind swept in from the door.
Han Yan was caught off guard. He was sent flying, smashed into the wall, and rebounded to the ground.
It did not hurt much.
It was just a little scary.
Han Yan focused his eyes. Elder Iron!
His neck tilted, and his right leg trembled. He pretended to faint.
"Put down my alchemy manual!"
Elder Iron said in a deep and cold voice.
Xing Hongxuan said coldly, "You're back!"
Elder Iron said expressionlessly, "I've been back for a long time. I've just been waiting for you to appear. I saw the two of you the moment I came back. For so many years, the other disciples did not accept my missions. There must be something fishy going on."
With that, Elder Iron suddenly struck out with a palm strike at Xing Hongxuan.
There was a talisman in his palm.
Xing Hongxuan instinctively jumped away. Thunder and lightning burst out from Elder Iron's palm, turning into a net of electricity that wrapped around Xing Hongxuan.
Elder Iron followed up with a kick, sending Xing Hongxuan flying.
Almost instantly, Elder Iron snatched the alchemy manual away.
Xing Hongxuan landed on the ground. Her whole body twitched.
Elder Iron took advantage of the opportunity to pursue. Xing Hongxuan hurriedly ran away.
The two of them quickly rushed out.
Han Yan, who was lying on the ground, hesitated whether or not he should get up.
No way!
If he got up, he wouldn't be able to wash away his guilt.
Han Yan also thought of escaping.
But it was too dangerous. He didn't even know where to run.
He waited patiently.
After a full hour, Han Yan couldn't help but scratch his butt.
He suddenly felt an aura approaching the attic.
Elder Iron!
Han Yan did not dare to move.
Elder Iron walked into the pavilion.
He frowned when he saw Han Yan.
Han Yan suddenly coughed.
Elder Tie walked to a chair and sat down, quietly staring at Han Yan.
Han Yan displayed his best and most realistic acting skills from his past life.
He clutched his head and got up.
He looked around in confusion. When he saw Elder Iron, he was pleasantly surprised.
"Old Iron! You're finally back! "
Han Yan shrunk his neck and looked around nervously.
He cautiously asked, "Where did the witch go?"
Elder Iron looked at him expressionlessly.
Han Jue hurriedly stood up and lowered his head to face Elder Iron, looking uneasy.
Han Yan was taking a gamble!
He was betting that Elder Iron didn't notice the conversation between Xing Hongxuan and him.
If he did, Han Yan would have no choice but to go all out.
"What did she say to you?" Elder Iron asked.
Han Yan didn't dare to hide anything and answered honestly.
"Hmph, she wants to train you to be her husband. What a joke"
Elder Iron was so angry that he laughed, thinking that this kid was dreaming.
He carefully looked at Han Yan.
Huh.
You don't say.
This kid really did become handsome. Just by looking at his face and eyes, he didn't lose out to those inner sect disciples.
The change was too big!
Could it be …
Elder Iron reached out and grabbed Han Yan's right wrist, carefully examining it.
Han Yan was very nervous, ready to attack at any moment.
"This kid has no spirit root and no cultivation. Could it be that I'm worrying too much?"
Elder Iron silently thought. Seeing Han Yan's fearful expression, he couldn't help but think of Han Yan's parents, feeling a bit irritated.
He angrily said, "Go back to sleep!"
Han Yan sighed in relief and quickly bowed.
He quickly left the loft.
Elder Iron started to clean up the room.
…
Back in the room, Han Yan quietly went to bed.
[Because you didn't help Xing Hongxuan steal the pill recipe, you've received a sword art — — Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword]
Han Yan was very happy. He finally had a way to save his life!
He immediately chose the inheritance.
A stream of memories flooded his mind.
Unparalleled Finger Divine Sword wasn't a martial art, but a spell. It used the finger as a sword and spirit energy as sword qi.
Han Yan had great understanding of the way of the sword, so he learned this spell that night.
However, he didn't expose himself and kept a low profile.
The next day.
After Han Yan woke up, he heard from the other servants that Zhang Ge was dead.
It was said that she died a terrible death, bleeding from all orifices.
The male cultivator guarding the entrance of the herb garden also left early in the morning. Something big seemed to have happened last night.
Han Yan couldn't help but mourn for Zhang Ge.
[Xing Hongxuan's favorability towards you has increased. You can become Dao companions. Current favorability: 3.5 stars]
Han Yan was stunned.
Why did her favorability increase again?
This was ridiculous!
However, Xing Hongxuan probably wouldn't dare to appear in the near future. Han Yan could cultivate in peace again.
…
Half a month later.
Elder Iron left the herb garden again.
In the past ten years, he went out more and more frequently.
Han Yan heard from Old Man Wang that Elder Iron seemed to be reaching the end of his life and was looking for herbs to increase his lifespan.
Not everyone was like Han Jue, who could break through so easily.
Elder Iron's cultivation was stuck at the seventh level of the Qi Refinement realm and couldn't increase anymore.
This was the difference in talent.
Elder Iron was a typical mortal cultivator who wanted to change his fate.
Han Yan prayed in his heart, hoping that the old man would die on the way.
He was so vicious because he noticed that Elder Iron still had 1 star of hatred towards him.
He was a potential enemy!
…
In the blink of an eye.
Two years passed.
The 20-year-old Han Yan had cultivated all four types of spirit roots to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
As long as he cultivated his lightning and fire spirit roots to the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm, he could begin to prepare to break through to the Foundation Establishment realm.
However, he couldn't capture any lightning or fire spirit energy around the herb garden.
Han Yan knew that it was time for him to leave.
That night, he left quietly.
Han Yan still had a thousand superior-grade spirit stones that he hadn't taken out. This would be his confidence in walking in the cultivation world.
Along the way, Han Yan used his divine sense to scan his surroundings.
He was prepared to go directly to the Jade Pure Sect and become a disciple.
The Jade Pure Sect shouldn't reject a cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
The next morning.
Han Yan finally found the Jade Pure Sect's entrance.
The Jade Pure Sect was located in a valley between mountains. Immortal fog filled the air, and two huge stone statues stood at the entrance. They looked like Qilins.
"Stop, show me your sect token."
A Jade Pure Sect disciple raised the sword in his hand and said.
There were a total of four disciples guarding the entrance of the Jade Pure Sect. They were all at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement realm.
Han Yan turned off the concealment function and cupped his hands. "I am Han Yan, an itinerant cultivator at the ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm. I want to join the Jade Pure Sect. Is there a way?"
Ninth level of the Qi Refinement realm!
The attitude of the four disciples instantly changed.
The sword-wielding disciple said something to the disciple beside him, who quickly left.
"Wait a moment. I'll get someone to inform the outer sect deacon," the sword-wielding disciple said.
Han Yan thanked him.
In the Jade Pure Sect, other than Elder Iron, no other cultivator knew his name. Elder Iron hadn't returned yet, so it was very likely that he had died outside. Therefore, Han Yan wasn't worried about exposing his identity.
