Volume 2 Chapter 51 (2/2)

The middle-aged cultivator turned his head and looked at the direction. His complexion greatly changed. Previously, they had been chased by a group of Blood Soul Sect's disciples and he had already been frightened easily due to this experience, so he did not care about taking Han Ji's life again and hurriedly shouted, ”Leave!” He stamped his feet and brought the 2 others and hurriedly escaped.

Seeing their figures fleeing in panic. Zhang Yan showed a faint smile. Then he appeared ion the back and walked slowly in front of Han Ji, ”You are fine, no?”

Han Ji was lying down and yet, still kept breathing. He looked up and saw that Zhang Yan came. For a moment, he could not help but be surprised and asked in amazement, ”Senior Brother Zhang? Just a moment ago…”

Then, he seemed to think of something and struggled to stand up. He lifted his hands high and saluted with a bow, ”Thanks a lot for saving my life, Senior Brother.”

Zhang Yan unperturbedly received his ceremony and calmly said, ”Ah, you know me?”

Han Ji looked at him with a bit of an excited expression and said, ”Senior Brother Zhang recently has slapped Zhuang Bufan's face. I've heard about you from the Ancient Families' disciples when we were waiting in the Guardian Hall that day, so how would this one not know you? It's just because of those hateful slaves from the family that were keeping an eye on me that I didn't greet you, Senior Brother.”

Zhang Yan looked at him and could see some admiration from his eyes. He pointed to the cave nearby and said, ”This place is too s.p.a.cious and easily seen. Senior Brother Han please follow me inside. There are a few things that I want to ask Senior Brother Han.”

Han Ji quickly stepped back, cupping his fists and said, ”I dare not to accept the honor, everything that Senior Brother wants to ask, please do ask. And I will tell you everything I know.”

Zhang Yan nodded and headed forward. Han Ji waited for him to pa.s.s by his side and then followed behind.

The 2 of them sat in the cave. Zhang Yan handed over a Rejuvenation Pill at him to restore his vital energy and then spoke, ”Senior Brother Han, after you came to this Demon Hole, have you seen Senior Brother Xie Zongyuan and the others?”

Hearing Zhang Yan's question, Han Ji put down the pill and straightened up his body, only then did he reply, ”Yes, I've seen them. At that time, they encountered several Blood Soul Sect's disciples and had a battle. We joined the fray to repel them, after which, we separated from then on.

“I heard that when you were fighting, that Blood Soul was very powerful. Since Senior Brother Han is a junior from an Ancient Family, can you see in what realm that Blood Soul was at?”

Han Ji pondered seriously and said, “That drifting Blood Soul, except for it's body, the face seemed to resemble a Dao Master. So that Blood Soul should be comparable to a Dan Transformation Realm cultivator.”

At this time, a trace of a rejoiced expression was revealed on his face, ”At that time, Senior Brother Fang Zhen fortunately had his Five Ring of Flame Divine Weapon, causing heavy losses to that person's Blood Soul. But if he dispatched several Blood Souls, I think I could only resign myself to be killed.”

Zhang Yan was astonished when he heard that and said, ”A Blood Soul at the level of the Dan Transformation Realm? How could it be so easy to create?”

Han Ji explained, “Senior Brother Zhang needs not to feel strange. There are hundreds of Dan Transformation Realm Blood Souls, which are graded from superior to a low grade. Powerful Blood Souls won't be easily released. The lower ones which usually are dispatched to thousands of miles away outside, should be used for pathfinding or to supervise disciples.”

Zhang Yan pondered for a moment as he said with a sigh, ”If so, it looks like I can't keep cultivating here. The number of days is too tight. The entrance to the Sea Eye will be opened wide on the 15th day, and I'll have to cut a b.l.o.o.d.y path to leave this place. But I fear that to cultivate to breakthrough into the Profound Light Realm will take a year or so. But then, I cannot catch up and partic.i.p.ate in the war to destroy Three Anchor Lakes.”

Upon hearing it, Han Ji did not speak and just lowered his head. It seemed that he was considering some things.

He looked up after a long time and slowly said, ”Benefactor Zhang has just saved my life. This Han is uncertain whether being able to return this grat.i.tude. But if Senior Brother trusts me, I can try to delay 2 months of time for you, helping you cultivate.”

“Oh?”

Zhang Yan looked at him and asked win a particularly astonished tone, ”May I ask with what means Senior Brother Han able to achieve it?”

Han Ji lifted his sleeve and took out a porcelain bottle and handed it over, saying, ”I heard that Senior Brother Zhang is Pavilion Master Zhou's outstanding disciple. So presumably, you should know about this.”

Zhang Yan received in and pulled out the cork to look inside. His eyes congealed and spoke in an unsure tone, ”This is… the Profound Blood Pill?”

Han Ji nodded and said, “Yes, Senior Brother has a good eyesight. This is precisely the Profound Blood Pill that was concocted by Dao Master Ru Huang from the Blood Soul Sect those years ago.”

100 years ago, Dao Master Ru Huang was a notorious-infamous Demonic Path's powerhouse in the Great Eastern Continent. He had always acted in absolutely unrestrained ways, slaughtering cultivators from the Righteous Path arbitrarily without any scruples. It went so far to the point that he incited the wrath of the Heavens and seethed discontent from humans, even the Blood Soul Sect had no choice but to expel him.

However, this person was but also a genius. At that time, his cultivation had reached the synchronization state between the Blood Souls with his state of mind, reaching the realm of fusion and fission according to one's will. As long as he was not killed along with his Blood Souls together, n.o.body was able to kill him.

But, for reasons unknown, 6 Dao Master powerhouses in the Great Eastern Continent collaborated to lay an array of siege and thoroughly eliminated him.

Han Ji pointed to the Profound Blood Pill and said, ”My grandfather also partic.i.p.ated in that battle in the past. Henceforth this Profound Blood Pill was obtained from that demon. For us, cultivators from Righteous Path, we have no uses for this pill. But for those disciples from the 6 Demonic Sects that lack a wonderful elixir, if they get this wonderful pill, they would have swallowed this pill immediately and they wouldn't be able to absorb the full efficacy of this within a few months of time. In this way, I think Senior Brother will be able to win over some time for at least 2 months.”

Zhang Yan handed back the Profound Blood Pill to him and smiled, ”Senior Brother Han, this method is good. But how would you hand this pill to that person? Even if you take the initiative, you aren't afraid that this pill will be taken swallowed by the other disciples from the Blood Soul Sect?”

Han Ji's facial expression turned dejected and said, ”I've been injured when I was in my mother's womb so I was born congenitally deficient. So it's hopeless for me to make progress in cultivating profound cultivation method in this life. But if I take shelter in the Demonic Sects, perhaps there are some opportunities to have some enlightenment for my cultivation.”

He paused for a second and looked at Zhang Yan, saying, ”This Profound Blood Pill… is but a gift to enter the sect!”
