I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Bao Zhc Sheng looked like a young man in his late thirties, dressed in extravagant clothes, looking noble and dignified. However, the sinister look in his eyes betrayed that he was not an easy person to deal with.

“Zhang Jin pays his respects to Lord Bao.”

As Bao Zhe Sheng sat at the head of the table, his expression was rather stern as he asked Zhang Jin, “What does Zhang Tu want this time?”

Even now, he was still somewhat fearful.

He didn’t know that Zhang Tu’s ambition was targeting Yu Ling. He had put in a lot of effort in the Yu family’s matters to gain Zhang Tu’s promise to help him.

When he learned that Yu Ling had been taken as a disciple by the Heavenly Lord of the Creation Gate, he was frightened and somewhat grateful to the Daqian cultivator named Wang Lin. If it were not for Wang Lin’s intervention, he would have almost offended Yu Ling.

Becoming a disciple of a Spirit Transformation Expert was no small matter. Despite his lofty status, he still fell short compared to the personally-taken disciple of a Spirit Transformation Expert.

In order to ensure his safety, he quietly made a decision to stay within the Supreme Pavilion for the next three years. Even a Spirit Transformation Expert wouldn’t dare to lay a finger on a branch of the Supreme Pavilion. Furthermore, due to a twist of fate, the agreement between the Yu family and the Supreme Pavilion remained undamaged and had been finalised.

If the Yu family wanted to retaliate, they would target the Zhang Family or Zhang Tu, it had little to do with him.

However,

Zhang Tu’s pledge to him remained, and he still needed to meet Zhang Jin.

Han Yi didn’t know what Bao Zhe Sheng was thinking. He hesitated for a moment before glancing meaningfully towards the grey-robed cultivator standing behind him.

“This is a matter of great importance, I hope Master Bao will dismiss everyone,” he said.

Without thinking much, Bao Zhe Sheng waved his hand. The grey-robed cultivator vanished on the spot.

Having met with Zhang Jin a few times, Bao recognised his aura and did not suspect anything amiss. Moreover, even if Zhang Jin did harbour malicious intentions, Bao, as a Golden Core Peak cultivator inside the Supreme Pavilion, had nothing to worry about with the Pavilion’s lord guarding him.

“What is it? Speak.” Bao Zhc Sheng’s tone was rather impatient.

At that moment, Han Yi leaned forward and whispered, “It’s about Yu Ling of the Yu family.”

“Oh? Yu Ling?”

Bao Zhc Sheng’s eyes flickered with interest.

He was now aware of Yu Ling’s uniqueness, but the Creation Gate had not announced what made her special. He had secretly investigated and even approached members of the Yu family and some inner instructors of the Guanxuan Academy, but found nothing.

“Yes,”

Han Yi emphatically confirmed, leaning in even closer.

“Yu Ling has the Tai Yin True Body. According to legend, this kind of heaven-defying physique can only be awakened after reaching the Golden Core stage.”

“Once awakened, the mysteries of reincarnation can be understood, leading to a profound change. Following this, there will be no obstacles in forming a Nascent Soul, undergoing Spirit Transformation, and even potentially ascension.”

These two pieces of information were shocking, causing Bao Zhc Sheng’s complexion to change. He had never heard of this kind of physique before, but considering Zhang Tu’s determination to seize this, he somewhat believed it to be true.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to him, Han Yi had leaned in even closer, speaking in a low voice.

“If Yu Ling hasn’t awakened her Tai Yin True Body and forms an alliance with a cultivator through a certain ceremony, that cultivator can obtain part of the traits of this heaven-defying physique, known as the Taiming Body.” “Originally, what Tu’er was seeking was to become the Taiming Body, but now that Yu Ling has broken through, the plan has failed, and Tu’er cannot become the Taiming Body.”

“However…”

Han Yi moved even closer, and Bao Zhc Sheng’s interest was piqued tremendously by the word ‘however’, causing his eyes to gleam with anticipation.

“However, what?”

At this point, the two were less than three meters apart.

After Han Yi revealed the truth about Yu Ling’s physique, Bao Zhe Sheng had completely fallen into it. He did not notice, or rather, even if he had noticed, he did not mind. If the Zhang family dared to harm him, they would undoubtedly face extermination.

Besides, he didn’t even think in that direction.

While his eyes sparkled with anticipation, he suddenly furrowed his brows and his face changed dramatically. Just as he was about to take action, he saw the respectful and hunched ‘Zhang Jin’ suddenly rise up.

Two Sword Tools swept across, severing both of Bao Zhc Sheng’s arms at the shoulder.

The Green Reed Sword and the Five Elements Sword.

Given their proximity of less than three meters, it was no exaggeration to say that this was a point-blank attack.

The disarmed Bao Zhe Sheng’s face changed drastically, but he soon found out in horror that his cultivation base was completely blocked, and even his Sea of Consciousness was totally sealed off, leaving him unable to move his Divine Soul.

The words ‘poisoned’ appeared in his mind, but just as they did, he saw two hands bearing down on his head. A boom resonated in his head as a severe headache suddenly attacked him. Then, his consciousness darkened and he plunged into blackness.

Meanwhile, outside,

Han Yi took advantage of the time he spent revealing the truth about Yu Ling to gradually get within three meters. The poison he silently released had already dispersed, and the timing was just right.

Moreover, this time the amount of poison Han Yi used was ten times that of Zhang Jin. Aside from the Soul-locking Powder and the Mind Confusing Powder, he also added the Soul Detachment Powder targeted at Divine Souls and Yang Perishing Powder which targeted the physical body.

All four of these pills were top-notch pills targeted at Golden Core cultivators. Han Yi had brought these poisonous pills with him when he left the sect to investigate the death of Qin Wuxian in Shu Du, just in case.

Now, it was the perfect time to use them.

These four pills might not guarantee success. After all, Bao Zhc Sheng was at the Golden Core peak stage. While he had gotten too close to him, he would have some resistance against the poison for a while..
