I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

If it didn’t exceed five years, there was nothing to worry about. Just as he had done in Jinyun Immortal City, he would follow, find an opportunity to poison the target and put the matter to an end.

The main reason for setting a five-year limit was the issue of the Immortal Boat.

This time, in order to avoid any accidents, he spent a large sum of money to rent a Heavenly Immortal Level Boat from the Black Divine Tower. A Heavenly Immortal Level Boat was a mid-tier spiritual treasure usually affordable only to gold core cultivators in the late-stage Golden Core, and even up to Golden Core Peak stages.

Five years’ time would cost a huge amount of spirit stones. If it exceeded five years, his business would have been for nothing, and he would have wasted years of time and earned a bad reputation with the Black Divine Tower.

If it was within five years, the cost of renting the Immortal Boat could be deducted, and he could still make some profit.

Although the speed of the Heavenly Immortal Level Boat was not fast, it cautiously followed Han Yi’s boat, keeping a distance of over fourteen kilometers to avoid detection. This was because Yan Bu’s spiritual sense could reach a range of fifteen kilometers.

Since Han Yi was only at the Foundation Building late stage, even if his abilities were exceptional, his spiritual sense would not exceed ten kilometers. Yan Bu set a distance of fourteen kilometers, which was the maximum limit considering any unexpected situations.

Han Yi, who had survived the Hellbreak Powder, was not simple.

As an assassin, Yan Bu had done his utmost to be cautious.

Up until the distance of fourteen kilometers, Han Yi really hadn’t noticed the pursuit behind him.

In fact, when Han Yi condensed the second Soul Tower of the Ninefold Soul Tower and stepped into the Return to the Truth Realm, breaking through to the Foundation Establishment Peak, his spiritual sense had already exceeded ten kilometers.

The limit of a Foundation Establishment cultivator’s spiritual sense was ten kilometers; this limit applied to general cultivators, but not First-Class Immortal Foundation cultivators, including both Divine Soul and Spirit Sea First-Class Immortal Foundation cultivators.

Han Yi’s spiritual sense had now reached twelve kilometers. If Yan Bu had not been so cautious and only set a distance of ten kilometers, he would have been discovered, and Han Yi probably would not have continued his journey.

That was how chance worked.

Yan Bu remained unmoved as he crossed the boundary between the eighth and ninth Ninefold Immortal Courts.

As Han Yi passed through the Immortal Ship Channel and left Qian Du, Yan Bu still did not take any action.

Half a month later, when Han Yi was about to reach the border of Qian Shu, Yan Bu, who was seated on the Heavenly Immortal Level Boat, suddenly opened his eyes and showed a chilling killing intent.

He didn’t rush forward immediately. Instead, he controlled the Heavenly Immortal Level Boat, circling around to Han Yi’s side, maintaining a distance of fourteen kilometers. Then he hurried forward, arriving ahead of Han Yi.

From high above, it was originally Han Yi in the front and Yan Bu in the back. Yan Bu circled around, essentially drawing a half-circle centered on Han Yi with a radius of fourteen kilometers, changing positions so that Yan Bu was in front and Han Yi was behind.

Following that,

Yan Bu quickly calculated the distance, and in a place that Han Yi must pass through behind the Immortal Boat, he threw a Trapping Spirit Talisman. The activated talisman instantly caused the space within a hundred meters to shake as if it had turned viscous.

This viscosity of space was aimed at the Immortal Boat, and Yan Bu activated a third-stage Trapping Spirit Talisman that could trap any Immortal Boat below the Heavenly Immortal Level.

But that wasn’t all.

After throwing the Trapping Spirit Talisman, he took out a set of array discs, and with a few flicks, he sent eight array discs into the void 300 meters away. With the void shimmering, he kept the ninth and main array disc in his hand, then imprinted the disc with seals, causing the array to temporarily disappear from sight.

After putting away the main array disc, Yan Bu put the Heavenly Immortal Level Boat into his Qiankun Ring and descended into the forest below.

Less than a minute later, an extremely fast Immortal Boat arrived, swiftly flashing through space. The boat was so fast that Luo Bu, who had just entered the Middle Golden Core Stage of cultivation three years ago, couldn’t keep up with Han Yi’s Earth Immortal level boat.

Han Yi, who was seated on the Immortal Boat, glanced up sharply, about to make a move, but it was already too late.

Boom!

The Immortal Boat seemed to be stuck in mud, its speed changing from extremely fast to extremely slow in just an instant.

Han Yi’s face changed, and he immediately leaped into the air with his sword, his eyes flickering with a golden light. However, he found that in the blink of an eye, the boat was encompassed by a shimmering spirit light that formed a spiritual wall within a radius of three hundred meters.

It was an array.

Moreover, Han Yi realized using his Qi Observation Skill that this array was at least third-stage and seemed to be a trapping array.

A black-robed cultivator arrived, walking through the air, holding a short sword in his hand.

Han Yi’s pupils constricted.

He didn’t know this cultivator, but he was not unfamiliar with the short sword. The poison on the sword had taken him more than two years to completely remove, making it terrifying.

This person was the Black Divine Tower cultivator who had tried to kill him last time.

However, what surprised Han Yi was that this Black Divine Tower cultivator had always been known for assassination and sneak attacks. Why would this cultivator choose to stand openly in front of Han Yi, giving up on ambushing him?

As Yan Bu stepped out, his mind was filled with another kind of sensation.

As an assassin, he rarely revealed his true face, but this time was different. The opponent was in the Foundation Building late stage, but possessed a strong ability to flee. Even after being affected by Hellbreak Powder, Han Yi could still escape. The most crucial thing was that Yan Bu had already been punished by the tower for ending this task prematurely. If he failed again, the consequences would be unpredictable.

In order to guarantee a thorough kill, and make Han Yi a fish in a barrel, Yan Bu had pursued him with the intention of killing him personally.

As an early-stage Golden Core cultivator, and having activated the most powerful third-stage array, Yan Bu didn’t believe that Han Yi would be able to survive and escape.

The two stared at each other without speaking.

In the next instant, Han Yi watched as Yan Bu placed his hand on a palm-sized array disc. Yan Bu’s figure then completely disappeared, and at the same time, within three hundred meters, an extremely dense fog spread from within the array.

This thick fog was very strange. With Han Yi’s cultivation base, he could only see clearly within three meters. Beyond three meters, he couldn’t see anything further, even when his eyes emitted a golden light while using Qi Observation Skill, he could only see as far as five meters.

The third-stage array, Spirit-killing Illusion Array.

This was one of Yan Bu’s trump cards.

Han Yi was fully focused with an extremely serious expression on his face, but he did not panic.

It had been three years.

Three years ago, Han Yi had just entered the Foundation Building late stage for not long. Three years later, he was now at the Foundation Establishment Peak. In addition to practicing the Ancient God Visualization Method, which brought him the enhancement of spirit and body dual cultivation, he was far from ordinary.

Three years ago, Han Yi could kill Golden Core evil beast Golden Beast and Que Chen in a single blow. Although they were somewhat careless, Han Yi’s killing spree proved that he could kill Golden Core cultivators.

Now, three years later, facing a Middle Golden Core Stage cultivator, Han Yi felt confident that he could hold his own against the opponent.

Futhermore-

Han Yi still had a trump card. If he fell into a disadvantageous position, he could break the array with his Demonic Dagger, based on his intuition. Although the array was powerful, he was sure it couldn’t withstand the Demonic Dagger.

Behind Han Yi, the Seven Star Kunwu Sword hovered above his head, and in his hand, two spiritual talismans had appeared.

These were the two spiritual talismans he had purchased with a heavy cost, depleting his entire fortune – one Tri-Spirit Falling Immortal Talisman, and one Six Spiritual Beings Fallen Immortal Talisman.

These spiritual talismans, the Demonic Dagger, Foundation Establishment Peak, and the Seven Star Kunwu Sword were all reasons why Han Yi was confident in challenging his opponent.

As Han Yi remained vigilant, the fog suddenly rolled.

A figure in a mysterious robe, holding a short sword, appeared from the side, charging and trying to kill.

Han Yi suddenly turned his head, and the Seven Star Kunwu Sword, hovering above his head, swung out fiercely.

Whoosh!

The sword tool flashed past, instantly slicing through the mysterious robe figure, which exploded with a “peng” and dissipated into a thick fog.

An optical illusion.

At the same time-

The second mysterious robe figure had already appeared above Han Yi’s head, stabbing with the short sword..
