I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

“Instead of killing monsters, why not cultivate?”

That’s right, this was Han Yi’s initial plan. It didn’t matter where he cultivated, and he had no intention of making a name for himself, so he would lay low for now.

There were too many forces participating in this Evil-slaying Union event, including the cultivators from the rival sect, Blood God Sect. This place was not the Facing Reality Heavenly Realm, and if Han Yi were to expose himself, it would be difficult to guard against hidden attacks.

Re-confirming his plan inwardly, he ventured further into the island.

The nameless island was vast. Han Yi planned to find a cave to temporarily stay in, symbolically hunt a few ninth-stage Evil Beasts, and then cultivate to make progress.

According to his estimation, with his increased aptitude and the Fire Shield Skill reaching perfection, it would take him a bit more than a year to break through to the senior Ninth Level. To reach the peak of the Ninth Level would take about four years.

It shouldn’t be too difficult to find a stable place on such a vast island.

Han Yi sneaked into the dense forest, where towering trees obscured the sky, with only a sparse few insects and mosquitoes making noise. From time to time, a roar of a powerful beast could be heard deep within the forest, making ordinary beasts nearby shiver in fear.

With Green Reed Sword in hand, Han Yi’s figure flickered through the woods. A three-meter snake suddenly lunged out from the shadows, only to be met by the silently sweeping Green Reed Sword, which instantly split it from head to tail, crimson blood spilling all over the ground.

“It’s a third-stage Evil Beast.”

“These outer monsters are too weak; I’ll have to go deeper.”

“I’ll clear a few more, then retreat to find a cave and cultivate.”

The flesh and blood of a Third-stage evil beast weren’t worth much, so Han Yi only took the snake’s gallbladder and three snake scales and discarded the rest.

An hour later, Han Yi encountered his first seventh-order Evil Beast and effortlessly killed it before continuing to advance.

Eighth Level, Ninth Stage…

After slaying three Ninth-stage beasts, Han Yi stopped advancing and began retreating instead.

Based on his estimation, he had not yet reached the center of the island. The top of the Ninth-stage Evil Beasts, and even the unusual species of those with inherent supernatural powers, should be at the center, along with half-step Demon Cultivators on the edge of transformation but not yet condensed their demon pill.

But, this place would do for now.

As Han Yi began to retreat, his footsteps suddenly halted. A blazing red-striped unusual beast appeared twenty meters in front of him out of nowhere.

The size of the beast was similar to a giant tiger he had seen before in the Evil Mountain Range, but its fur was more lush and fiery red. It looked like a combination of a tiger, a leopard, a lion, but not really like any of them. If he had to describe it, it resembled a house cat from his past life.

There were countless types of Evil Beasts, and this species had not experienced reproductive isolation. As time passed, more and more varieties emerged. Han Yi didn’t know what kind of species the unusual beast before him belonged to.

Nevertheless, since he had encountered it, there was no way he could just walk away. Even if he wanted to go, the beast would not let him leave without doing anything.

Han Yi held up his sword, and the Green Reed Sword silently rushed out, faster than the speed of light, barely visible to the naked eye.

Swish!

The long sword silently passed through the space where the giant cat was, but there was no obstruction in its path.

“What?”

Han Yi’s face changed slightly as the afterimage of the beast slowly dissipated.

It was fast, even faster than his Sword Control Skill.

Han Yi’s expression changed, but his combat instinct kicked in automatically.

A Wind Wall Skill and Fire Shield Skill combined, flames fueled by the wind, creating an intertwined, dense, and impenetrable defense wall.

Bang!

A sharp claw slammed down on Han Yi’s defense, tearing through the Wind Wall but was stopped by the Fire Wall, revealing the fierce fiery red-striped giant cat. Han Yi had no doubt that if it bit him, it would easily crush his head.

At the moment the giant cat was blocked, Han Yi waved his hand and shot out three daggers.

The golden daggers were smaller than the Wind Demon Daggers he had used before, but they emitted an even more chilling murderous intent.

These were top-grade magical weapons given to him by Fu Canghai: the Heavenly Daggers.

There were six Heavenly Daggers in total, and Han Yi could now control them completely, albeit with some effort. He had tested that controlling three daggers would give him the most strength.

Whoosh!

Two of the daggers missed the giant cat, but the third grazed its ribs, blood gushing out.

The giant cat cried out in pain, and the ferocity in its eyes intensified.

However,

Han Yi had already seized the initiative and wouldn’t let the giant cat cause any more harm.

The two daggers that missed earlier suddenly changed direction, circling around the giant cat at high speed while opposite the third dagger which had also grazed the beast.

From afar, it appeared as if three golden circles were surrounding the giant cat.

The cat seemed to have sensed the danger as it roared angrily. Its roar was far from gentle like a house cat, but rather exuded a hint of brutality.

Avoiding the golden circles instinctively, the giant cat leaped into the air, attempting to break free from the encirclement and tear apart its prey..
