I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

That is, to return immediately to the Xuandan Sect.

Although in a certain sense this was risky, Han Yi did not know whether other cultivators from the outer courtyard, or beyond, were still watching him, but he couldn’t just remain at the Guanxuan Academy and ignore the Xuandan Sect because of this concern.

Of course.

If he went out and encountered a lethal assault he couldn’t resist, Han Yi would still choose to retreat to the Guanxuan Academy, first to secure his own safety, then to slowly formulate a plan.

In short.

Han Yi was energetically trying to leave the Guanxuan Academy and head to Daqian.

He first went to the palace of the internal court’s management instructor and submitted an application for leaving. To the external instructors, a trip outside could last years, or even decades; it could even be a one-way trip. The academy naturally wouldn’t insist on them staying.

After submitting his application and making thoroughly the appropriate registration, Han Yi took flight.

This was his first time leaving the internal court in nine months. His appearance had already changed before leaving, transforming into an ordinary-looking middle-aged man carrying a golden long sword on his back.

This was the Traceless Sword, a medium-grade artifact owned by Tuoba Tu.

Han Yi’s Seven-Star Kunwu Sword had been shattered, the Heavenly Cold Sword and Giant Tower Sword were too conspicuous, the Illusory Fire Cauldron was badly damaged and not yet repaired, and the Green Reed Sword was only a low-grade artifact. Therefore, the only somewhat low-key option suitable for Han Yi to use was this Traceless Sword.

After rising into the sky, Han Yi released the Immortal Boat.

This Immortal Boat was not the previous Red Moon Immortal Boat, which had been destroyed by Zhang Hai’s Spiritual Talisman. This boat had been obtained from Zhang Hai’s Qiankun Ring, and its quality was better than the Red Moon Immortal Boat.

A top-grade artifact, the Nine Orifices Immortal Boat.

This top-grade artifact-level Immortal Boat was produced by the Linglong Heavenly Sect, one of the Nine Great Heavenly Sects of the Daqin Immortal Country. It had a unique design with nine orifices on the hull. When all nine were activated, its speed was remarkable.

This Immortal Boat had 49 grooves in its control center, each of which could be inserted with 100 top-grade Spirit Stones, for a total of 4>9OO Spirit Stones. At full speed, it was extremely fast by Gold Core cultivator standards.

The very fact that Han Yi dared to try to leave was partly thanks to this Immortal Boat.

During this special period, Han Yi naturally didn’t skimp on Spirit Stones. After filling it to the brim with Spirit Stones and firing at full speed, despite the fact that the Guanxuan Academy, situated in the seventh Immortal Ring, theoretically didn’t allow Immortal Boats to fly, Han Yi no longer cared about that.

Besides, with his speed, even the official cultivators of Daqin in Yu State’s Immortal City would have trouble capturing him. He didn’t believe he was so unlucky as to encounter a Monarch cultivator.

Compared to running into a Golden Core Peak cultivator who had chased him out from the Supreme Pavilion, the likelihood of encountering a Daqin Monarch cultivator was much lower.

Given these two factors, Han Yi made his choice.

A day later, Han Yi arrived at the Eighth Immortal Ring without encountering any official cultivators from Daqin along the way, which was a relief to him.

Two days later.

Han Yi arrived at the Ninth Immortal Ring.

Three days later.

Han Yi exited from a side gate of Yu State’s Immortal City and headed quickly towards Tian Nan Immortal City.

The breakthrough of his Ninefold Soul Tower to “Breaking through the mortal and entering the holy” significantly enhanced Han Yi’s divine soul power. With his consciousness surging, the speed of this Nine Orifices Immortal Boat was much faster than that of Golden Core Peak cultivators.

The Immortal Boat sped past in a flash, headed straight for Tian Nan Immortal City.

Twelve days later, the Immortal Boat crossed over Tian Nan Immortal City and headed directly for the Evil Mountain Range. This time, Han Yi didn’t take the Immortal Boat to cross the mountain range but instead crossed it using his own power.

Six days later, Jinyun Immortal City was in view.

Four days after that, Daqian Immortal City came into view.

Qian Du, Eighth Immortal Court, Daying Road, Fengpu District, Jianggao Street, Nanliang Fang, Profound Immortal Pavilion.

Nearly a year later, Han Yi returned to this place.

He landed on the fourth floor of the Profound Immortal Pavilion, where Liu Ruyan was originally. When Han Yi landed, she looked both shocked and delighted, immediately greeting him.

“Junior Brother Han, you’re back.”

“This is great.”

“Did Elder Brother Qin come to pick you up?”

Within the entire Xuandan Sect, only Zhuge Wu You, Huo Ming, and Han Yi currently knew about Qin Wuxian’s death. The others were unaware.

Han Yi shook his head.

“No, I felt the time was right, so I came back on my own.”

Just at this moment, a figure appeared on the fourth floor. It was Huo Ming. Seeing Han Yi, he nodded, then turned to Liu Ruyan and said: “Ruyan, you go down first. Junior Brother Han and I have something to discuss.”

Liu Ruyan didn’t think much of it. Some of the sect’s secrets were naturally only known to the Supreme Elder.

After Liu Ruyan left, while Huo Ming ostensibly chatted with Han Yi, wanting to learn about what had happened in Daqian, he was actually using mental telepathy. Similarly, while Han Yi appeared to be explaining the events of his trip, he was actually communicating back via telepathy.

Naturally, Han Yi asked about Qin Wuxian. In the previous Jade Butterfly message, there was only a brief record, just a message about Qin Wuxian’s Soul Tablet being shattered and him dying, no other details.

However, after Huo Ming’s explanation, Han Yi was still puzzled because Huo Ming himself didn’t know much.

All he knew was that five months ago, Qin Wuxian had left a message for the sect saying he had a lead on Yuan Shun and was heading to Shu Du. However, his Soul Tablet shattered two months later, so when Zhuge Wu You informed Huo Ming, he made a Jade Butterfly and sent it to the Guanxuan Academy for Han Yi.

“Aren’t there any other messages?” Han Yi asked.

“None?” Huo Ming replied.

“Did you ask Zhou Su from the Xuandan Pavilion in Shu Du?” Han Yi asked again.

Huo Ming shook his head: “I didn’t.”

“Asking is simple; the challenge is if it causes trouble.”

Han Yi nodded. The sect directly asking Zhou Su about Zhuge Wu You implied something extraordinary. Both Zhuge Wu You and Huo Ming were thinking and planning deeply, naturally not daring to rashly inquire.

By asking, they would represent that the sect had lost Qin Wuxian’s trail. If someone with ulterior motives found out, it would naturally cause troubles.

“Junior Brother Han, Elder Brother Zhuge’s idea is to let you go to Shu Du and secretly investigate.”

“With your disguise technique, which can deceive heaven and earth, you’re the best person for the job.”

Huo Ming said in a deep voice. This was the reason why Zhuge Wu You and he urgently needed Han Yi to return.

The news of Qin Wuxian’s Soul Tablet being shattered was of utmost importance. Only someone with strong abilities, whom they could trust, and who had strong skills, could they feel reassured.

Han Yi nodded. He had had some guesses on his way here.

“Alright, I will start on my journey immediately.”

Han Yi locked eyes with Huo Ming, and both saw the seriousness in each other’s eyes. Without any further hesitation, he took flight from the Profound Immortal Pavilion, released the Nine Orifices Immortal Boat again, and dashed towards the outskirts of Qian Du.

His destination: Shu Du..
