I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

The spirit of the Green Reed Sword was much more powerful than any of the half-step treasures he had seen. It was only slightly less powerful than the Spiritual Treasure, the Chaos-cleaving Sword, which was held by the grandson of the Emperor of Daqin, Qin Tong. This sword tool had already absorbed three separate swords and its spirit and power were not restricted by their levels.

Han Yi didn’t just regard it as a simple sword tool. He treated it as a companion.

At this moment.

As soon as Han Yi finished speaking, the Green Reed Sword hovering in front of him trembled lightly, as if it was excited by his words.

Then, after the Green Reed Sword spiraled once, it flew towards the northwest. Its speed was very slow, as if it was sensing and confirming the direction. It took a full three minutes before its speed gradually increased. It flew faster and faster, and finally made a loud booming sound as its speed surged.

But the booming sound abruptly ended because Han Yi had already grabbed the sword tool.

“Alright, if you speed up any further, even I won’t be able to catch up.”

“Slow down and lead the way.”

Han Yi calmed down the trembling Green Reed Sword. Riding the Black Emperor Immortal Boat, he followed the direction indicated by the Green Reed Sword and flew towards the northwest. This direction was indeed towards the headquarters of his sect. As he passed over the Xuandan Sect, he did not pause and continued northwestward, then entered Evil Mountain and kept moving forward.

However.

About a stick of incense’s time after he entered Evil Mountain, he stopped. Because the location here coincided with the abnormal position sensed by the Suizhu Command Tablet he had.

This was indeed too much of a coincidence.

He took out a palm-sized black token from his body. The token trembled slightly and a faint red glow appeared on it. He confirmed once again that the direction indicated by the token’s glow coincided with the direction indicated by Green Reed Sword.

Han Yi felt a bit uneasy. This was different from his initial plan.

At the time when he had annihilated the Robbing cultivator of Flying Thunder, Han Yi sensed the abnormality of the Suizhu Command Tablet. But he didn’t go to investigate it directly, because he recalled that the last two times when the tablet experienced abnormalities, the first time he was lead into a mysterious Immortal Mansion, and the second time he descended into the Nine Layer Void Prison.

Both incidents took him outside the Yu Heng World. If the command tablet showed abnormalities again and he was required to leave the Yu Heng World, there was another matter that he needed to settle.

Originally, Han Yi’s plan was to follow the Green Reed Sword to find possible divided swords that existed in the Yu Heng World. Then, he would finish the unfinished task. But now, judging from the guidance of Green Reed Sword and the abnormality of the Suizhu Command Tablet, they could be pointing towards the same place.

This made him hesitate.

A moment later.

Han Yi didn’t continue on. He thought about it and decided that he should complete the unfinished task first and then explore the place that possibly contained the Green Reed Sword’s broken piece and caused abnormality in the Suizhu Command Tablet.

That’s why he immediately turned around and headed southeast.

The Immortal Boat was fast, and as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he only needed a short two days to gallop from the north side of Shu Du to Evil Mountain, cross the boundary of Qian Shu, and then continue southeast direction until he reached the southeast of Qian Du. There he slowly reduced his speed.

Not far ahead of him, there was a vastly stretching mountain range.

Tanggu Mountain Range.

From Han Yi’s current position, the Chi Xiao Sword Sect was to the north, the Eastern Sea was far to the south, and if he managed to cross the continuous mountains in front of him, he would be able to reach Qingzhou in the Nine States, which was also the territory of the Great Yong Immortal Country.

The reason for his visit this time was naturally not to cross the mountains and enter Dayong. To him, Qingzhou didn’t contain anything that would attract him to go there.

However, in the Tanggu Mountain Range, which was the border of Qian and Qing two states lying between the two immortal countries, it contained what he was looking for this time. It was the relic of the Star River Monarch, who died in a hidden Cave Mansion deep in the Tanggu Mountain Range after the demonic cave in Shu Du.

This included the Qiankun Ring and the Spiritual Treasure, the All Heavens True Form Diagram, of the Star River Monarch.

This was the other task he needed to complete.

Star River Monarch was the Supreme Elder of the Star Moon Sect and a Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator. He was also one of the eight grand protectors of the Fragrance Sect. There must be many spiritual items in his Qiankun Ring, and his spiritual treasure, the All Heavens True Form Diagram, although a lower grade spiritual treasure, it was considered one of the top among the lower grade spiritual treasures.

In the cave in the depths of the Tanggu Mountain Range, the Nascent Soul of Star River Monarch was devoured by an Immortal Puppet. The Puppet’s attack was too unexpected and it happened too quickly. There was simply no room for him to fight back, and even his Spiritual Treasure, the All Heavens True Form Diagram, had no time to explode and resist.

If he was lucky, the Qiankun Ring and the Spiritual Treasure should still be in that mysterious cave.

Collecting his scattered thoughts, Han Yi boarded the Immortal Boat and flew off towards the depths of the Tanggu Mountain Range. Although he had been sucked into the space of the Spiritual Treasure, the All Heavens True Form Diagram, and transported deep into the Tanggu Mountain Range, he wasn’t sure about the path from the Daqian Direction till that particular cave.

However, he was familiar with the path that he ran away from the Immortal Puppet after it swallowed the Nascent Soul of the Star River Monarch. So he crossed over the Tanggu Mountain Range first and headed to the place near Qingzhou where he first stepped into Qingzhou, then retraced his steps from there.

It took seven days before he finally arrived at the cave from which he had escaped in terror. He put away the Immortal Boat, held Green Reed Sword in front, and slowly approached the cave.

When he was first caught by Star River Monarch and later escaped from the cave, he didn’t encounter anything like a defensive formation. But he couldn’t be a hundred percent sure that there was no formation at all. Perhaps the formation set up by Star River Monarch only worked outwardly and not inwardly?
