I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Actually.

The main reason why Song He was stationed here was not due to the Xuandan Sect or Han Yi, but rather the uneasy premonition he had regarding this particular wave of demonic being frenzy.

The Blood Sea originated from the extreme northwest of the Yu Heng World, bordering the Northern Wilderness, flowed through the Western Desert and Daqin, before finally reaching the Daqian Immortal Country.

Not long ago, Daqin sent a secret report that a Blood Demon Disaster had erupted in their section of the Blood Sea.

From the historical records of the Yu Heng World, the Blood Demons, who hardly ever stepped out of the Blood Sea, unexpectedly invaded the Daqin Immortal City in an unprecedented move, catching Daqin cultivators off guard.

In addition, among them, there were more than a dozen Monarch-level Blood Demons and a Spirit Transformation-level Blood Demon.

In the records.

This Blood Sea in the Yu Heng World is only a branch of the real Blood Sea across the myriad realms, and it has been many years since any Spirit Transformation Blood Demon has appeared in this branch.

The emergence of the Spirit Transformation Blood Demon shocked the entire Daqin Empire.

Daqin deployed two Dao Sovereigns to force the Spirit Transformation Blood Demon back into the Blood Sea, and either drove away or killed the other Monarch-level Blood Demons, finally suppressing the sudden mutation.

However.

In Daqian’s view, the end of the Blood Sea cannot accommodate a Spirit Transformation Blood Demon, but the advent of Nascent Soul-level Blood Demons would also be a huge disaster.

It must be guarded against.

That’s why he rushed here first to assess the situation and report to Duke of Zhenbei if necessary, prompting a Monarch from the Zhenbei Residence to come and suppress the Blood Demons.

On the other hand.

After leaving the Blood Sea and returning to the Eighteen Immortal Cities, Han Yi assisted Shen Ping in killing three more Golden Core Demonic Beings. Once there were no more Golden Core Demonic Beings within sight, he flew up to Xuanxue Peak.

On Xuanxue Peak, the Little Four Saints Array had been repaired, and Han Yi entered the formation before entering the Xuanxue Hall.

Inside the hall.

Si Hongxue’s complexion had improved somewhat, but Zhuge Wu You’s face looked even worse than before.

Lian Tingxi was not present, presumably reinforcing the Little Four Saints Array.

Seeing Han Yi, Zhuge Wu You’s eyes flashed, and he was about to speak when he coughed and coughed up blood.

Han Yi’s face changed, looking worried, but Zhuge Wu You waved his hand.

“No need to worry.”

“I’m still far from dying.”

Although Zhuge Wu You didn’t look like he was on the verge of death, he seemed to be just a step away from it.

Han Yi hastily asked:

“Senior Uncle, what poison have you been afflicted with? Is there any antidote?”

“If it’s urgent, I can escort you back to the sect and let the sect master have a look.”

Without waiting for Zhuge Wu You to speak, Si Hongxue replied this time:

“It’s Soul-locking Powder.”

Han Yi frowned; he did not recognize ‘Soul-locking Powder’ among the myriad of poisons in the world, even though he had learned some after being poisoned by Hellbreak Powder and Returning Ruin Powder.

“Once poisoned with Soul-locking Powder, one’s Spirit Sea and Sea of Consciousness will be sealed off.”

“However, my Senior Brother is right — if it was a Golden Core cultivator, they wouldn’t die but would only need to spend several years reopening their Spirit Sea and Sea of Consciousness before gradually detoxifying themselves.”

Han Yi sighed in relief when he heard this.

Next.

He told the story of meeting Zhenbei Envoy Song He from the Zhenbei Residence at the edge of the Blood Sea.

Zhuge Wu You’s face was puzzled, and his eyebrows were furrowed.

“Zhenbei Envoy, Song He.”

“To think that it was him.”

“However, it’s strange; even though I alerted the Zhenbei Residence, I only expected a Wind Chasing Official to come at most. I didn’t expect it to be the Zhenbei Envoy.”

This was the source of Zhuge Wu You’s confusion.

After thinking for a moment, he shook his head.

“No matter; as long as Song He is here in person, the hidden danger of the Blood Sea mutation is no longer an issue.”

“The top priority now is to defend Xuanxue Peak and the nineteen Immortal Cities below it.”

Zhuge Wu You looked at Han Yi.

“I never thought that you would have broken through to the Golden Core realm in just a few years, Han Yi, and your combat prowess is astonishing. You deserve the most credit for this battle.”

“However, this merit will have to wait until after the Blood Sea anomaly and our return to the sect. I will then report to the sect master on your behalf and ask for rewards.”

“Rest assured, I will secure you a second boat equivalent to the Jade Level Immortal Boat at the very least.”

Han Yi initially wanted to politely refuse, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn’t help but feel elated.

Whether it was a Heavenly Immortal Level Boat or a Jade Level Immortal Boat, they both had saved his life. An extra Immortal Boat would mean an extra life, so even without Zhuge Wu You, he would request to exchange his old boats for new ones once he returned to the sect.

He currently had four damaged Immortal Boats in his possession, two of which were mid-grade Treasure Immortal Boats. It would be reasonable to exchange them for a brand-new Immortal Boat.

Shen Ping, who had been quietly following Han Yi, chuckled as he saw Han Yi’s changing expression.

“Don’t worry, Han Junior Brother. You must have rushed this time.”

“The sect’s resource allocation for Supreme Elders is much more abundant than during the Foundation Establishment stage. Once we return to the sect, I will personally handle it for you and make sure you are satisfied.”

Han Yi’s little plan was seen through, but having ample resources and allies was indispensable for cultivators, so he simply clasped his hands in gratitude.

“Thank you, Senior Brother Shen.”

Suddenly.

A thunderous roar erupted, and Han Yi’s face changed. In a flash, he left the Xuanxue Hall and soared into the sky, staring in the direction of the Blood Sea with an extremely grave expression.

Shen Ping appeared next to Han Yi, and in less than a breath’s time, Lian Tingxi also soared into the sky. As for Zhuge Wu You and Si Hongxue, they did not forcibly fly due to their severe injuries.

“It’s the Blood Sea.”

“What’s happened?”

“I don’t know.”

Suddenly.

From the Blood Sea ten miles away, a demonic being suddenly broke through the air. Then, it let out a deafening roar, scattering clouds and even blowing up the demonic beings that had just climbed the Blood Sea, all in the wake of its earth-shattering howl..
