I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Han Yi did not continue forward, choosing instead to retreat back to Daofu City.

This place was just five or six kilometers out of Daofu City, and more than a hundred li away from Tong City.

With such a long distance and his injuries, the consequences would be hard to predict if he encountered robbing cultivators again.

Especially if the twelve robbing cultivators he had just killed had accomplices, and if the accomplices found out that he had killed their comrades, they might chase after him, and by that time, it would be a desperate situation for his severely injured self.

It would be better to return to Daofu City, wait for his injuries to heal, and then leave. There was no need to rush for the time being.

Having learned a lesson, Han Yi became more cautious towards robbing cultivators because at any moment, they could suddenly give him a big surprise.

On the way back, he simply bandaged his left arm, put on new ordinary clothes, and aside from his face still looking somewhat pale, there were no major problems.

He quickly crossed the five to six li distance, neither slow nor fast, passing through the city gate and re-entering Daofu City.

After entering Daofu City, he didn’t go straight to the Luo family, but instead found an inn for cultivators to rest, renting a high-quality room.

Three days later.

Inside the room, Han Yi opened his eyes and moved his left arm, finding that it had fully recovered and had no internal injuries, so he completely let out a sigh of relief.

The black light had barely grazed him, and the injury to his left arm was not serious, as he only used some healing spiritual medicine for three days, leaving only faint traces. These traces would gradually disappear in the next week, making them completely invisible.

As for the scar on Luo Yunzhou’s face, healing it would also be easy. Injuries like these were only superficial, and as cultivators, with some treatment, they could be fully restored.

During these three days, Han Yi not only treated his injuries and recovered his strength, but also reflected on the gains and losses of the battle and sorted out things that he couldn’t understand.

“These robbing cultivators, four at the ninth level and eight at the eighth level, would have a chance to fight even at the peak of the Qi Cultivation Stage. Did Luo Zhiguang escape because he has a secret too?”

This was the main reason why Han Yi had returned to Daofu City but did not dare to go to the Luo family.

He faintly felt that there was more to the matter of the Luo family’s spirit field, but he didn’t want to get involved.

“Besides that, the battle this time was extremely dangerous, and luckily, I decisively used the spiritual talismans.”

In the end, Han Yi wanted to use both Yin Thunder Talismans, but the split-second timing was too short, and his strength and reaction speed could only activate one Yin Thunder Talisman at most.

He didn’t choose the fierce man for the Talisman, but instead chose the other four Late Stage Qi Cultivators who were gathered together, simply because they were the closest to him and could guarantee a one-hit kill with the Yin Thunder Talisman.

Then, the Shadow Bearing Sword pierced through the leader of the robbing cultivators, completing the killing.

“Once back at Xuandan Sect, I need to find someone to ask about that black sphere and what it is. Its power is too strong.”

The whole battle was very fast, from the moment Han Yi threw his four dagger-like weapons, to when the Shadow Bearing Sword pierced the ground diagonally, it took less than ten breaths of time. It was certainly not an exaggeration to describe the situation as changing rapidly.

Han Yi was very fortunate that his actions were fast enough. If he gave these robbing cultivators more time and encountered more weird treasures like the black sphere, he would be in danger.

“I will set off for Xuandan Sect in three days.”

“As for Liu Heng, forget it, it’s not important, and doesn’t matter.”

It wasn’t that Han Yi was kindhearted or cowardly, but after weighing the pros and cons, he found that killing Liu Heng, apart from venting his anger and keeping a secret, would not bring any other benefits to himself and might even cause more trouble.

Han Yi just wanted to return to Xuandan Sect safely and cultivate without any accidents.

Moreover, Liu Heng would definitely be frightened by the robbing cultivators and might even suspect something was wrong afterwards, so he would go into hiding.

He escaped during the battle with the formation, and thinking about it from another angle, no matter if it was those robbing cultivators surviving or himself surviving, Liu Heng would think that they wouldn’t let him go, so it would make sense for him to flee this place.

Finding him would be a waste of time.

If he happened to encounter Liu Heng and the opportunity was right, Han Yi would definitely kill him, but he didn’t think it was necessary to specifically set up an ambush to hunt Liu Heng down. In other words, Liu Heng’s importance in his heart wasn’t worth it.

Three days later.

Han Yi tidied up and left the inn, heading towards the city gate of Daofu City. As he passed by the city gate, he saw a few cultivators gathered together, pointing and discussing something on the wall.

Just as he was about to walk past them, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

“This Liu Heng is quite overbearing, daring to commit a mass murder within the city. Isn’t this a slap in the face of Daqian?”

“Just for a Spirit Field, he chose mutual annihilation, an unwise decision.”

“Exactly, if he doesn’t have a Spirit Field, he can find another one. But now he’s angered Daqian, and the Demon Extermination Guard, the Monster Slayer Army, the Heavenly Observatory, and the Bandit-Catching Department will be after him. Does he really think he can get away just because he’s killed someone? He’s truly foolish.”

“It’s a pity that the Luo family also met with misfortune, encountering such a madman.”

Han Yi quickly turned around, walked towards them, but his gaze fell upon a wanted poster on the wall.

The poster clearly displayed Liu Heng’s face and name, with the reason for the warrant written as: assassinating the head of the Luo family, Luo Zhiguang, killing 18 members of the Luo family, and then fleeing.

Han Yi’s pupils contracted violently, his eyelids twitched, and then he quickly turned around, rushing towards the Luo family’s estate.

“Senior Brother Luo couldn’t have been robbed, could he?”

With a deep frown, Han Yi thought about his friends; he didn’t have many. If he had to say, many years ago, there were only Zheng Hai and half of Guan Di.

Now, after the events in Tianqing City, Luo Yunzhou could be counted as one, along with Zheng Hai, and Chu Jinmo, Yan Ru, and Guan Di were all counted as half-friends each.

A moment later, Han Yi stepped into the Luo Mansion and came out half an hour later.

He stood at the entrance of the Luo family, looking back at the white lantern hanging outside the door, his expression dazed, feeling suffocated. It was the first time this emotion had appeared since his transmigration.

Luo Yunzhou was dead.

This Senior Brother, whom he had met before he turned thirty years old, had once tearfully invited him to Ascending Immortal Pavilion to repay his life-saving favor. Later, Luo Yunzhou had often found him to have a drink and connect with him emotionally. But now, Luo Yunzhou had died on his home soil, Daofu City.

The Immortal Path was suddenly cut off.

He had seen the corpse with his own eyes.

That was the reason for his trance and distraction.

Just now, he had entered the Luo family and learned the cause of Luo Yunzhou’s death.

Three days ago, Liu Heng had sneaked into the Luo family at night, assassinating Luo Zhiguang and then killing Luo Yunzhou, who had come to find Luo Zhiguang. After that, he killed other family members and left triumphantly.

After coming out of his stupor, a terrifying murderous aura erupted from his whole body, even causing the surrounding spirit energy to vibrate slightly. If there were Middle Stage or Low Stage cultivators present, they might even lose their minds due to this murderous aura and faint on the spot.

“Liu Heng, you’re courting death..”
