Han Yi first broke the restrictions on the storage bag of the twelve Robbing cultivators, organized the items within, and found that there were not many Spirit Stones in these storage bags. The least held only a few thousand low-grade Spirit Stones, and the most held only over two hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones. There were also various odds and ends, low-grade Spiritual Talismans, Formation Plates, and Transfer Jade Plates, etc.

However, every little bit adds up, and Han Yi was not greedy.

After sorting them out, he broke open the storage bags of three Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer cultivators he had obtained from the Evil Mountain Range. Among them, the one who wielded the Silver Scale Fan was the richest, with as many as over seven hundred middle-grade Spirit Stones in his storage bag. Surprisingly, there was even another top-grade magic treasure, which was a golden pot-like magic treasure that greatly lifted Han Yi’s spirits.

After that, he opened the last storage bag, which belonged to the owner of the Golden Light Shuttle, the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer cultivator he had killed in Tianqing City.

Han Yi had only encountered one Qi Cultivation Stage cultivator with such a top-grade magic treasure, and he speculated that there must be great surprises inside this storage bag.

As expected, after breaking the restriction, Han Yi scanned the storage bag with his divine sense, took a deep breath, and his eyes shone brightly.

“A large pile of Spirit Stones, and they’re all middle-grade Spirit Stones, nearly two thousand in total; this is a huge fortune.”

Aside from Spirit Stones, there were also many Spiritual Talismans.

“Annihilation Talismans, and there are two of them?”

“Hiss.”

Han Yi’s face was shocked.

In this storage bag, besides the middle and high-grade Spiritual Talismans, there were also two first-stage premium-grade Annihilation Talismans.

The Annihilation Talisman, when activated, is not as flashy as the Yin Thunder Talisman but rather silent, targeting only the Divine Soul. With a single strike, the opponent’s Divine Soul would be obliterated, making it even more terrifying than the Yin Thunder Talisman.

Han Yi did not expect there to be an Annihilation Talisman in the storage bag of that gloomy teenager from Tianqing City. If he had used it back then, Han Yi reckoned he would have perished without any chance of survival.

Thinking about this, Han Yi shuddered. Fortunately, he had been decisive at the time, otherwise the consequences would have been unpredictable.

Han Yi solemnly placed the two Annihilation Talismans into his storage bag. These were weapons and trump cards that could save his life at critical moments.

Next, Han Yi looked at the magic treasures in the storage bag and his eyes were immediately attracted to a silver magic treasure.

This magic treasure was a silver mirror.

“Is it another silver series top-grade magic treasure like the Silver Light Pearl and the Silver Scale Fan?”

After checking it out, Han Yi solemnly put it into the storage bag. He would study it when he had time.

Breaking the restrictions on these dozens of storage bags took Han Yi almost two months.

After organizing everything, Han Yi did not go to the Nine Dragons Market to sell the magic treasures to He Fangwei, as he had done in the past. This was because he had obtained a large number of Spirit Stones from these dozens of storage bags, which were enough to support his cultivation until the Foundation Establishment stage. There was no need to worry about Spirit Stones, so why sell the magic treasures?

Another reason was that after experiencing the mysterious land, Han Yi realized that he had a very serious shortcoming:

His techniques were too weak, and his magic treasures were too singular.

All in all, he only had a Sword Control Skill, a Spirit Void Finger, a Wind Demon Dagger, a Shadow Bearing Sword, and a Golden Light Shuttle as his trump card.

Besides that, he needed to rely on Spiritual Talismans to enhance his combat strength.

Against Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer, ordinary Ninth Layer, or even experienced Ninth Layer opponents, this proved abundantly effective in securing a kill.

However, when facing Qi Cultivation Peak, or even legendary Qi Cultivators – commonly known as half-step Foundation Establishment – Han Yi’s techniques appeared somewhat weak.

Han Yi believed that the mysterious yellow-robed immortal in the Luo family’s Spirit Field could definitely be considered half-step Foundation Establishment, or even possibly hiding their true strength, comparable to an ordinary Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator.

Although he defeated the yellow-robed immortal using the Golden Light Shuttle, if he encountered another legendary Qi Cultivator such as Blood God’s child Han Xuxiao, Han Yi wouldn’t simply stand there waiting to be attacked without fighting back.

This was one of his conclusions on the mysterious land: his techniques were still weak and needed to be strengthened. He needed to refine more magic treasures, which could even be used to buy time or inflict severe damage to the enemy at critical moments by self-destructing.

Another consideration was his skills: on the one hand, their power needed to be increased, and he needed to break through either the Spirit Void Finger or Sword Control Skill to reach the realm of Peak Mastery as soon as possible.

On the other hand, he needed to learn more skills: he only had one defensive skill, Fire Shield Skill, which was too specialized, and he needed to learn another one. He had the Turtle Breath Skill but still lacked a Concealment Skill.

Within the Xuandan Sect, there was no need for a Concealment Skill, but it became critical outside, especially during his trip to Daofu City, which made Han Yi realize the importance of Concealment Skills. If he had been able to move stealthily while concealing his breath, he would not have been discovered by the Robbing cultivators, and none of the following events would have happened.

“Indeed, as one cultivates to higher levels, one feels increasingly pressed for time.”

“Since my realm cannot be broken through in a short period of time, let’s focus on working on my skill proficiency first.”

“But there’s no need to rush. We should take it step by step and plan well to avoid chaos.”

Taking a deep breath, Han Yi started to choose the most important task, which was to cultivate the Spirit Void Finger. This skill progressed faster than the Sword Control Skill and was inherently less difficult to cultivate. Han Yi chose to focus on it as his breakthrough point.

In the outside world, the Three Realms Rankings constantly changed, and the Immortal Path was full of ups and downs.

In the courtyard, Han Yi’s mind was unswerving, as he practiced the Spirit Void Finger, Sword Control Skill, refining magic treasures, learning Concealment Skills, and defensive magic skills…

In his spare time, Han Yi would stand alone atop Azure Dragon Cliff, sometimes gazing into the distance, sometimes sipping wine, sometimes pondering, and sometimes sitting cross-legged.

During the first year, he spent one day every month going to Combat Peak to find out about major events happening within the sect. He kept track of the implementation progress of the sect’s new policies and stepped onto the Combat Platform to effortlessly defeat a Qi Cultivation eighth-level disciple, thus completing the new policy’s challenges.

In the second year, he left the house even less frequently.

During the third year, he only went out once.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

At this point, Han Yi was already forty-one years old.

It had been a full twenty years since he had crossed over.

It had been sixteen years since the battle in the demonic cave.

It had been twelve years since the conflict between the Xuandan Sect and the Blood God Sect.

Eight years had passed since the introduction of the new policies.

Within the courtyard of Azure Dragon Peak.

Han Yi sat cross-legged inside the Soul Locking Array, his fingers gliding along the black shadows on his body. With the movement of his fingers, the sound of breaking through the air rang out and sword light flickered like lightning, with only a phantom left to be seen.

At some point,

The sword light whizzing beside him suddenly vanished. No, it didn’t vanish – it just moved too fast for Han Yi to control it at that moment.

Boom!

In an instant, the sword light penetrated the Soul Locking Array, slamming into the courtyard. The entire courtyard shook, and the formation in the courtyard swayed violently, its spirit light constantly flickering.

“I did it!”

Han Yi stood up abruptly, his face full of delight.

“I finally broke through in the Sword Control Skill!”

Han Yi gently beckoned, and the Shadow Bearing Sword, which was deeply embedded in the ground, flew up with a whoosh and returned to its sheath.

Then, he looked at the pale red Proficiency Panel in front of him.
