Fairy Eye

Han Lin stepped forward and took out the short sword from a distance. He saw that it was stained with Cao Xiu's blood, but he dared not touch it.

Who knows if this guy's blood contains the poison of the shrimp-centipede monster?

If I were to infect myself, I'd be in big trouble.

Han Lin hovered the fat sword in front of him and released a fireball to burn it, attempting to "disinfect" the sword.

As a result of the burning, Fatty Sword seemed to have its own intelligence and suddenly moved to the side.

"Um?"

Han Lin was taken aback when he saw this.

He then controlled the fireball to fly towards Fat Sword, but Fat Sword dodged it again.

"Does it truly possess sentience?"

Han Lin was stunned and controlled the fireball to chase and burn the fat sword.

Upon seeing this, Fatty Sword immediately began to jump around.

Han Lin suddenly thought of something, and with one hand he released a burst of true energy to control the fat sword, and then used fire to burn it.

"Help!"

Suddenly, a childish scream came from inside the fat sword.

"Holy crap, this is unbelievable."

Han Lin took half a step back. This thing not only had intelligence, but it could also talk!

"Who are you? Why are you hiding inside my sword?"

Han Linqiang composed himself and asked in a deep voice.

As a result, he waited for a long time, but the chubby short sword did not respond at all.

Han Lin asked a few more times, but to no avail, as if the thing had vanished without a trace, leaving Han Lin completely baffled.

Unexpectedly, when he tried to burn it again, the fat swordsman started dodging and crying for help.

Han Lin was completely dumbfounded. After several attempts, he finally came to a conclusion.

This fat swordsman definitely has his own ideas.

But that talking thing seemed to be mentally unstable or something, and couldn't say anything except for shouting for help.

Moreover, as long as he doesn't burn it, the fat sword will still be under his control, and he can easily take it to his side.

Worried that the Qingyun Gang would come after them, Han Lin took out a piece of cloth, wiped the blood off the sword, and put it in his pocket.

I thought I'd wait until it was safe to investigate this thing more carefully.

Immediately afterwards, Han Lin walked back to Cao Xiu's body.

Wrap your right hand in rags and search the body. You'll eventually find a storage bag and a mid-grade Swift Wind Talisman.

There was also blood on the storage bag's surface. Han Lin didn't check what was inside; he carefully held it and put it into the Heavenly Treasure Vault.

Then he threw out several fireballs, turning Cao Xiu's corpse into ashes, and ran away into the distance without looking back.

What Han Lin didn't know was that it wouldn't have been a big problem if he hadn't run away, because most of the people from the Qingyun Gang who came looking for him were already dead.

The strongest among them was Cao Xiu, the captain at the sixth level of Qi Refining.

……

As evening approached, the sky gradually darkened.

Han Lin fled all the way and finally found a cave where he could take shelter on a rocky hillside.

The cave wasn't large, but there was a stone embankment several meters high in front of it. If someone came, they wouldn't be able to fly directly into the cave and catch him off guard.

Han Lin activated the Tongtian Dharma Realm and took out Cao Xiu's storage bag from the Tongtian Treasure Vault to examine it.

It is worth mentioning that...

Storage spaces are classified into different grades, and storage bags cannot contain other storage bags; this is a basic common sense in the cultivation world.

Only more advanced items like storage rings can store storage bags inside.

As for Han Lin's Heavenly Treasure Vault, although he didn't know its exact grade, he had already discovered that he could easily put his storage bag inside.

"Wow, this guy's really rich!"

Han Lin held the storage bag between his fingertips and entered it with his divine sense, discovering that the storage bag was actually quite spacious.

It should be classified as a mid-grade product.

The interior is also incredibly rich in collections.

Besides various monster materials, there were also more than thirty spirit stones, a precious bow engraved with the words "Silver Serpent Bow", and a spellbook called "Azure Cloud Steps".

Han Lin first dripped blood onto the Silver Serpent Bow to bind it to his master, and then tried to pull the bowstring. With a snap, the Silver Serpent Bow did not react at all.

He glanced at the Silver Serpent Bow with a puzzled look, then suddenly understood something.

When the bowstring is drawn again, a stream of ordinary true energy is injected into the bowstring through the fingers.

As expected, with this pull, the true energy in the dantian seemed to be drawn towards the bowstring.

It quickly condensed into a semi-transparent arrow-like aura.

Boom!

As soon as Han Lin released his grip, the arrow shot out with a whoosh, disappearing into the air only after traveling half a mile.

"Hehe, great, that's wonderful!"

Upon seeing this, Han Lin was overjoyed. He played with it for a long time before finally putting it into the Tongtian Treasure Vault.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the book "Qingyun Steps" and started reading it.

This Qingyun Step doesn't look like the original; it's a handwritten copy. It's estimated that many people in the Qingyun Gang have learned this movement technique.

It's not particularly precious.

But for Han Lin, it was a treasure.

It's really frustrating not having a movement technique to rely on sometimes. Now that I've gained one for free, how could I not be happy?

This technique is not obscure or difficult to understand, and it is a non-attribute technique, meaning that this technique does not restrict the attribute of one's spiritual root.

Han Lin mastered the essentials of the technique in just half an hour, expanded the Dharma Realm by one time, and began practicing directly within the Tongtian Dharma Realm.

Perhaps it was because it was his first time learning a movement technique, and he simply thought it was quite good.

When he circulated his internal energy and channeled it to the designated points on his feet, his body felt as light as half its original weight, and he could even float when he walked.

The speed is indeed much faster than before.

Half an hour later, Han Lin felt that he had fully adapted to the changes brought about by the Azure Cloud Step, and finally stopped practicing.

He walked to the cave entrance, gazing at the hazy night outside, a thoughtful expression on his face.

Despite the series of crises that followed, the day was marked by the acquisition of a considerable amount of resources.

Most of these resources are not listed in the sect's bounty list, and they would be difficult to handle if brought back. It would be better to just sell them in Qingyun Town.

Moreover, this storage bag is of medium grade. Even if you buy it in the Guiyuan Sect, it will cost several thousand contribution points. If you sell it, you should be able to get a lot of spirit stones.

Now he doesn't need anything else, what he needs most is spirit stones. As long as he has spirit stones, improving his cultivation level will be just around the corner.

"Fine, let's risk going back to Qingyun Town! Otherwise, it would be a waste to have so many resources but not be able to make use of them."

Han Lin suddenly made up his mind, took out a black triangular face mask from the Tongtian Treasure Vault, and covered his face.

Then, with a leap, he floated lightly down the stone embankment and quickly disappeared into the woods below.

……

"Cao Xiu and the others haven't returned yet?" Inside the room, Chang Yushan, the leader of the Qingyun Gang, sat behind his desk, frowning as he looked at a maid in front of him.

"Reporting to the hall master, not yet."

"None of them came back?"

"without……."

The maid shook her head, about to say something, when suddenly a young figure stumbled in, "Master, something terrible has happened, Master!"
