I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Han Yi was generous in his hands, he gave ten high-grade Spirit Stones in one go. These Spirit Stones were worth half a year’s salary for the innkeeper, who was at the 9th level of Qi cultivation. Having received payment, the innkeeper’s face bloomed with a radiant smile.

“The Yu family.”

“Respected guest, you’ve asked the right person.”

“The Yu family moved more than half a month ago, and they left in a hurry. I heard they moved to Yang State. As for the reason, a cultivator from the Yu family joined the Creation Gate.”

“That’s the Creation Gate, the leader of the four sacred places in Daqin, and rightfully so.”

“I heard that the cultivator from the Yu family was initially a student at Guanxuan Academy. However, for some reason, they were directly noticed by a Supreme Elder of the Creation Gate and then entered the Creation Gate.”

“This is a leap to the sky in one step.”

“On the day the Yu family moved, there was even the aura of a real Monarch-level Nascent Soul cultivator pressing down on the Tian Nan Immortal City. No one knows better than I do because I live nearby. I was the closest one to the Yu family, and my feeling of that day was the most vivid.” Han Yi was slightly stunned.

“Yang State, Creation Gate?”

Suddenly, he had a thought. If someone from the Yu family was valued by the Creation Gate, it should be Yu Ling, who possessed Tai Yin True Body.

Previously in Zhang Hai’s memory, Zhang Tu had said that Yu Ling was the Tai Yin True Body. However, it would be difficult to discover before reaching the Golden Core stage. In that case, it’s possible that a Supreme Elder of the Creation Gate – a Spirit Transformation Expert – discovered her unique physique. Alternatively, Yu Ling may have broken through to the Golden Core stage and somehow became a disciple of the Spirit Transformation Expert in the Creation Gate.

Some details were difficult to guess, but the general outline should not be far off.

Han Yi understood in his heart, and thought back to the Yu family seeking help from the Profound Immortal Pavilion, followed by Zhang Tu’s act of revenge, and the most likely timeline of events became clear.

Zhang Tu tried to capture Yu Ling, but she became a disciple of the Creation Gate and joined the Spirit Transformation Expert. Zhang Tu failed in his plan and was furious, so he attacked the Xuandan Sect, which had ruined his plan.

Specifically, Zhang Tu wanted to take revenge on a hidden Gold Core cultivator named ‘Wang Lin’ in the Profound Immortal Pavilion. It was Wang Lin who killed Zhang Hai and the four Tuoba brothers and allowed the Yu family to escape the penalties imposed by the Supreme Pavilion, causing the Zhang family’s plan to fall through.

“Thank you, innkeeper.”

“By the way, besides the Yu family, I’d like to inquire about another family, the Zhang family. Innkeeper, do you have any recent news about the Zhang family?”

The innkeeper was slightly puzzled and shook his head.

“The Zhang family?”

“Respected guest, you must be talking about the Zhang family of Huaiwu Fang. The Zhang family has had a great development in recent years.”

“As for the most recent news about the Zhang family, it should be that the family head, Zhang Hai, has closed for cultivation. The new family head is now the former second master of the Zhang family, Zhang Jin.”

“Nothing else was mentioned.”

Han Yi thanked the innkeeper and left. After some thought, he flew towards the Zhang family, changing his appearance halfway there.

This time, his appearance was that of Zhang Tu.

This was the appearance and aura of Zhang Tu from Zhang Hai’s memory. Han Yi’s Disguise Technique had reached the pinnacle level of “Return to the Truth”. He wasn’t far from the next level, and at this stage, no one of the same rank would recognize him when using this technique.

Arriving at the Zhang family, Han Yi stepped directly into the compound.

Then, his figure flickered, and his divine sense was transmitted to where the current family head, Zhang Jin, was located.

“Second Uncle, there’s an important matter, please come with me quickly.”

“Remember, don’t let anyone find out.”

Zhang Hai had died. The one who took over his position as the family head was his own younger brother and Zhang Tu’s second uncle, Zhang Jin.

At this moment, Zhang Jin was in the study. When he heard Han Yi’s message, he scanned with his divine sense and found Han Yi disguised as Zhang Tu. He felt a chill in his heart. Whatever could make Zhang Tu so nervous must be a major matter, and he could not help but take it seriously.

To Zhang Jin, the future of the Zhang family entirely depended on Zhang Tu. Zhang Tu was a true disciple of the Jiuding Sect. As long as Zhang Tu continued to rise, the Zhang family would also rise.

He stood up and quickly left without informing other Gold Core cultivators in the family. He followed Han Yi, who had already left a step ahead.

Han Yi flew to a secluded forest and descended.

In less than three breaths, Zhang Jin followed and landed. He didn’t doubt much because, for Gold Core cultivators, disguising appearances was easy, but it was absolutely difficult to disguise one’s aura. Unless a Nascent Soul cultivator was disguised, it would be easy for someone of the same rank to detect something amiss.

So, he didn’t have too many doubts.

“Second Uncle, this is a big deal.”

“I’ve learned about Yu Ling’s whereabouts in the Yu family, and I need your secret assistance to capture her.”

Zhang Jin was shocked when he heard this.

“But, isn’t Yu Ling already a disciple of the Creation Gate and taken in by Lord Heavenly?”

“If we offend a Lord-level figure, our Zhang family will be destroyed in an instant.”

“Tu’er, have you thought this through?”

Han Yi nodded solemnly but then shook his head as if in contemplation. However, in his heart, he was already counting down. These words were just bluffing, drawn from Zhang Hai’s memories to deceive Zhang Jin into coming closer.

At this moment, three breaths had passed. Zhang Jin suddenly furrowed his brows, and his face changed drastically. He discovered that the spiritual power in his body was stagnating, his Spirit Sea was sealed, and he could not even sense his Sea of Consciousness..
