Han Zhao ran all the way and stood on the hill, looking at the city wall of Blackrock City not far away.

“Squawk-”

A palm-sized gorgeous bird circled down from the sky and landed on Han Zhao’s shoulder.

Because of Ji Zhuling’s existence, Han Zhao did not want her to discover the Ice Whisper Bird, so he asked Yu Niang to follow him in the sky for this period of time.

“Yu Niang! Let’s go home!” Han Zhao rubbed the Ice Whisper Bird’s head with his fingers and ran to Blackrock City with a cheer.

After leaving Blackrock City for two months, he felt an urgent urge to go home.

Han Zhao returned to his house in Xinqiao District and opened the door. There was a layer of dust on the table, stove, and blanket. Everything else was normal.

If he was still in the state he was in before he transmigrated, his house would probably have been robbed three days after he left home.

And now, the house of a Bone Tempering Realm martial artist was not something a little thief dared to enter, even if there was no one at home.

“How dirty! Indeed, this is what happens when there’s no one at home.”

Han Zhao frowned slightly and placed Yu Niang, who was standing on his shoulder, on the bed.

“Yu Niang, clean the room and boil some hot water. I’ll come back to shower Idtel.

With that, Han Zhao walked out of the room.

Soon, the sound of clothes rustling could be heard in the room.

After a while, Yu Niang put on her clothes, opened the door, and walked out.

“Brother Han, do you want me to make dinner?”

“No need. I’m going to the martial arts school. I’ll bring food when I come back. What do you want to eat?” Han Zhao asked.

Yu Niang gently bit her finger and pretended to think. “I want to eat roast duck and hazelnut crisps.”

If it was at the beginning, Yu Niang would still be very reserved. However, after interacting with her for a period of time, especially after experiencing Taoyuan Village together this time, they already felt like family.

“Alright, I’ll get going first.” Han Zhao nodded and walked out.

This feeling of having someone to accompany him at home was really good. Moreover, it was too satisfying not to have to do housework.

“Yes, come back early.” Yu Niang smiled.

“I locked the outer door.”

After Han Zhao walked out of the door, he closed it.

“I’ve earned a lot of money this time. Isn’t it time to change to a bigger house?” Looking at the slightly old hut, Han Zhao muttered.

“Forget it. There are too many things to spend money on. The house is secondary. Anyway, there’s no problem with security here.” On second thought, he decided not to buy a house for the time being.

Although Xinqiao District was only a commoner district, the living environment was not bad. As long as he had his current strength, no one would provoke him.

This time, he had earned 5,000 taels of silver from selling the secret manual of the Hundred Poison Palm and more than 3,000 taels of dried meat. However, he had already eaten more than half of it.

In addition, with the 9,000 taels of silver that Ji Zhuling had given him, he now had a total of 14,000 taels of silver.

Among them, 6,000 taels had to be used to buy black gold. After all, the Afterlife Sword and Extraction Saber had to be reforged.

In particular, the Extraction Saber had a hole on the first night of the battle in Taoyuan Village and could not be used anymore.

The Afterlife Sword that was reforged in the simulation was finally sentient and its power increased greatly. It was very similar to the divine weapon Ji Zhuling mentioned. Clearly, it could greatly increase his combat strength.

In any case, he had to buy a weapon. This kind of weapon that could grow spiritually was naturally the best choice.

“When I advance to the second Blood Qi Breakthrough, I’ll avenge Zhu Kangsheng.” Han Zhao thought to himself that it was time to deal with the Flying Dragon Stockade.

In fact, with his current strength, in a one-on-one battle, even if he encountered an expert with the third Blood Qi Breakthrough, he had a high chance of winning. However, he had many trump cards, so it was not impossible for others to have a trump card.

Even if there was one in a hundred, he did not want to fail because of this 1% chance.

When he reached the second Blood Qi Breakthrough, his blood qi would improve again. His normal combat strength would probably surpass an expert with a third Blood Qi Breakthrough. There was no need to use the Sword Drawing Technique at all.

“I’ll convert money and Yin energy into combat strength first to stabilize myself.”

Yejiang District.

Mountain Shaking Fist Academy.

When Han Zhao arrived, some apprentices who were practicing fist techniques immediately stopped. “Senior Brother Han?” “Han Zhao?!”

“Are you okay?”

A portion of the apprentices came up to greet him and ask about his health. After all, they had already learned from Xu Ling that Han Zhao was seriously injured and had been recuperating outside for almost a month and a half.

“I’m fine. I’m fine.” Han Zhao greeted the apprentice who came forward and walked towards the inner courtyard.

He noticed that there were fewer apprentices greeting him this time. They probably thought that he was seriously injured and could not take another step forward.

How realistic.

Noticing that some apprentices were whispering, Han Zhao couldn’t help but shake his head and laugh as he walked into the inner courtyard.

There were only three people practicing in the open space in the inner courtyard. One of them was a man and a woman who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old. They looked unfamiliar and seemed to be newcomers.

The other woman was Xu Ling.

“Raise your hand high. Don’t shake your hand that’s holding the saber! Step steadily! ”

Xu Ling held an unsheathed saber in her hand and demonstrated the saber movements. She instructed the other two with a serious expression.

Hearing footsteps, Xu Ling subconsciously turned around. When she saw Han

Zhao, who had not returned for a month and a half, her eyes suddenly widened.

Clang!

Xu Ling casually threw the long saber in her hand to the ground and rushed in front of Han Zhao.

“Junior Brother Han, you’re finally back.” Xu Ling’s eyes were filled with joy, and her voice was filled with reproach. Considering that there were still her junior brothers and sisters present, she resisted the urge to hug Han Zhao.

“I’m sorry, Senior Sister Xu. I’m late.” Han Zhao smiled. With outsiders around, he didn’t call Xu Ling by her nickname.

“It’s fine. It’s good that you’re back.” Xu Ling looked relieved.

Seeing that Lu Yi was not in the inner courtyard, Han Zhao asked, “Is Master Lu around? I’ll inform him.’

“Master Lu is in the backyard.” Xu Ling pointed at the corridor, then tiptoed to

Han Zhao’s ear and whispered, “He hasn’t been in a good mood recently.”

“Got it. I’ll go see Teacher Lu first. I’ll look for you later.” Han Zhao smiled ambiguously.

“Go quickly.” Xu Ling’s face heated up as she gently patted Han Zhao.

Han Zhao walked towards the backyard.

At this moment, a gossipy voice came from behind. “Senior Sister Xu, is this the Senior Brother Han who hasn’t appeared because of his injuries? He’s too good-looking! Is he your sweetheart?”

“What are you looking at?! Go and practice your saber! If you don’t do it well, I’ll give you additional training alone!” Xu Ling’s serious voice sounded.

Han Zhao could not help but laugh, but he was wondering if he should teach Xu Ling this Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique first.

He was not a eunuch, so he naturally liked women. It was just that survival and becoming stronger were more important and suppressed his desire in this aspect.

Now that he could become stronger through the Luan Phoenix Harmony Technique and do some things he liked to do, why not?

When Xu Ling cultivated the First Level to perfection, it would probably be enough. At that time, both parties would be able to obtain great benefits.

Xu Ling’s foundation was much better than his, but she did not have a cheat.

Moreover, it was indeed a little difficult to cultivate the Second Level to the

Third Level of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique. The Blood Tempering Realm was also the first big bottleneck for martial artists. It was not easy to break through, other than him.

When Han Zhao rushed to the backyard, Lu Yi was lying on a recliner with his eyes closed, basking in the sun. However, for once, he did not munch on melon seeds.

“Master.”

Han Zhao walked forward and bowed.

“Huh?” When Lu Yi heard a familiar voice, he suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw Han Zhao standing on the porch, he could not help but be delighted.

Seeing Han Zhao walk over, his expression suddenly collapsed. He lay back on the recliner and snorted. “You’re not dead?!”

Hearing the resentment in Lu Yi’s words, Han Zhao quickly reacted. He walked to Lu Yi’s side and massaged his shoulder. He smiled and said, “Master, what are you saying? Aren’t you sad if I die? I just recovered from my injuries. I came to see you as soon as I returned to the city.”

“At least you still have some conscience.” Lu Yi carefully sized up Han Zhao’s face and his expression relaxed. “Fortunately, from your complexion, it’s obvious that your injuries have completely recovered and you don’t look like you’re depleted of blood qi. It won’t affect your breakthrough to the Blood Tempering Realm in the future. Stay in the city well next and don’t run around, understand?”

“Yes.” Han Zhao felt Lu Yi’s concern and nodded repeatedly.

“By the way, Master, is that martial arts school…” Han Zhao asked softly.

This time, he came back a month later than planned. The martial arts school’s sparring was probably over.

Lu Yi glared at him with a fierce expression. “You still dare to mention it! Kid, you promised me that you would do your best back then. In the end, you ate so much of my demon beast meat and didn’t do anything. You made me lose face when we were sparring in the martial arts school!”

Han Zhao smiled awkwardly.

Although there was a reason for this, he had indeed broken his promise.

He immediately patted his chest and said, “Teacher Lu, don’t worry. The next time we fight in the martial arts school…”

“Stop promising me things!” Lu Yi interrupted Han Zhao angrily and immediately changed the topic. “In the next year, I’ll provide you with a few pieces of demon beast meat to nourish your body. However, if you dare to lose to a Bone Tempering Realm martial artist of the same level in the next fist competition in the martial arts school, prepare to stay in the martial arts school and teach the newbies to repay your debt until I die!”

“Master, don’t worry. I promise I won’t lose to any martial artist of the same level. I’ll definitely help you earn back this face next time!” Han Zhao said seriously.

“By the way, actually, I

“Alright, alright!” Lu Yi waved his hand. He did not want to hear Han Zhao thank him. How annoying!

“Master, I…

“Sigh go quickly! Yuantu’s been here many times. Go and see him and let him know that you’re fine.” Lu Yi urged impatiently. If he let this shameless brat speak again, he would definitely push his luck.

“Yes…” Han Zhao walked out helplessly.

Actually, he was prepared to tell Lu Yi that he had already broken through to the first Blood Qi Breakthrough.

Forget it. Since he didn’t want to hear it, he would give him a surprise when he reached the second Blood Qi Breakthrough in a few days.

Han Zhao quickly left the backyard and called Xu Ling to Zhao Yuantu’s house.

After that, he said that he would definitely treat him another day. Only then did he persuade Zhao Yuantu to let him go home first.

Han Zhao shopped with Xu Ling for a while more before buying roast duck, pig head meat, roasted chicken, and hazelnut crisps and returning home.

At night, Han Zhao sat cross-legged on the bed.

“The Yin energy is enough for a short period of time, but I still have to think of a way to obtain more Yin energy.”

“If it’s not a coincidence that Anomalies appeared in Taoyuan Village, there might be other Anomalies. I can search for them in the simulation.”

Thinking of this, Han Zhao kept chanting in his heart, “Find Anomaly, find

Anomaly, find Anomaly!”

“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”
