n“How troublesome!” Han Zhao looked at the information in the simulation and frowned.

nThe other party was stronger in that situation. It seemed that he could not use force and could only use logic to convince them.

n“Two.”

nAttribute Points 3

n“Yu Niang, go to the sky and take a look. Inform me if anyone approaches.” Han Zhao instructed the Ice Whisper Bird on his shoulder.

n“Ji-” Yu Niang replied. Although she couldn’t speak human language after transforming into an Ice Whisper Bird, she could still communicate with Han Zhao without any barriers through her bloodline connection.

nYu Niang flapped her wings and flew into the sky, looking down at the entire village.

nMartial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Second Level Perfection

n100%; Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 3)

nHan Zhao arrived at an abandoned mud brick house. He looked at the system interface and muttered in his mind,

n“Improve the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique.”

nThe attribute points jumped from 3 to 2, and then to 1.

nThe words on the martial arts column changed.

nHan Zhao felt his body burning as if he was hugging a furnace. His blood qi increased rapidly, and his muscles began to swell.

nHowever, after the intense pain when he broke through to the Life Nurturing Technique previously, this change in his body was nothing to him. It was neither painful nor itchy.

nThe feeling of his blood qi increasing was really wonderful.

nPower surged from all over his body.

nMartial Arts: Mountain Splitting Saber Technique (Third Level Entry Level 13%, Upgradeable; Special Effect: Explosive Level 4, Mountain Splitting Force Level 1, Life Extension 20 years)

n“Internal Force?” Han Zhao looked at the new special effect of the cultivation technique and was stunned.

nAccording to Lu Yi, it was considered quite good to be able to comprehend Internal Force at the Second Blood Qi Breakthrough. Those who could comprehend Internal Force at the First Blood Qi Breakthrough Realm were all geniuses.

nIndeed, with the system’s small help, he could be considered a genius.

nHis bitter cultivation and occasional points were not in vain.

nHan Zhao mobilized the blood qi in his body and quickly realized that his arms were starting to heat uD.

nHe rolled up his sleeves and saw a mountain-like pattern appear on his left and right arms.

n“Is this the Blood Imprint symbol that Master Lu mentioned?” Han Zhao recalled what Lu Yi had said.

nHowever, when martial artists who normally cultivated the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique reached the first Blood Qi Breakthrough stage, only a mountain pattern would appear on one arm, representing that their blood qi had doubled.

nEven for some martial artists with powerful innate blood qi and good foundations, they would at most have half more patterns, and their blood qi would increase by a few times.

nAfter all, the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was not a top-notch cultivation method. After breaking through, it could not increase blood qi by two times.

nHowever, this restriction did not apply to Han Zhao.

nSwish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

nHan Zhao unsheathed his saber and moved around the abandoned mud brick house.

nAlthough he had only used the first two moves of the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique, Cross River Style, and Stacking Waves, the power was completely different from before.

nAfter a while, the walls of the mud-brick house were covered in fine saber marks.

n“It seems that the so-called Internal Force is a high-end use of strength.” Han Zhao roughly understood what Internal Force was about.

nInternal Force was an invisible force, unlike nourishing true qi that was tangible.

nSoon, he realized that he could easily mobilize all the blood qi in his body and unleash the strongest attack.

nIn this state, his blood qi was extremely active, but it consumed a lot of energy.

nIt seemed that only a Force Tempering Martial Master could sustain such a level of Internal Force consumption for a long time.

n“There’s still one attribute point left…” Looking at the remaining attribute point on the system interface, Han Zhao was not in a hurry to use it. Instead, he prepared to continue simulating.

nAfter all, the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique was inferior to the Life Nurturing Technique. Furthermore, Lu Yi had yet to teach him the third move, Mountain Splitter. There was not much point in continuing to improve it.

n“System.”

nCollected 35 Notification Fragments. Do you want to synthesize the Trait? Each synthesis will consume 30 Notification Fragments and 10 taels of gold.

nYou will definitely obtain a one-time Basic Trait, Life Simulation. The probability of obtaining a White Trait will increase by 6%. The probability of obtaining a Green Trait will increase by 4%. The probability of obtaining a Blue Trait will increase by 2%. The probability of obtaining a Purple Trait will increase by 1%.

n“Good lord, the price increased so much this time?” Han Zhao looked at the system notification and his eyes skipped a beat.

nThe Blood Tempering Realm was indeed the first bottleneck for martial artists.

n“It’s alright. There’s the hope of obtaining the Purple Trait. Moreover, according to the past situation, the attribute points will also increase.” Han Zhao comforted himself in his heart.

nAlthough the price had increased, it was fine as long as the quality of the service increased.

nHowever, money was easy to earn, but this Yin energy was almost insufficient.

n“Synthesize. Beginning simulation.”

n19 years old…

nYou have relied on the Mountain Splitting Saber Technique to reach the first Blood Qi Breakthrough of the Blood Tempering Realm and have grasped the initial stage of Internal Force.

nAfter an intense battle, you escaped from the village with Xu Ling and the seriously injured Feng Xiao. Although you consumed a large amount of true qi, you were not injured. It’s just that killing the monsters made the Yin energy in your body gather and feel a little uncomfortable.

nYou guys escaped to the mountains and hid. Rested on the spot.

nAt dawn the next day, you got Xu Ling and Feng Xiao to leave first. You went to investigate Taoyuan Village alone.

nXu Ling was worried about your safety and gave you the remaining healing pills she carried with her.

nWhen you returned to Taoyuan Village, you met the girl in green. You easily defeated her and captured her.

nAt this moment, the white-robed woman appeared and attacked you. In a moment of desperation, you used the Sword Drawing Technique with all your might and beheaded her with one strike.

nHowever, the woman in white reached out to catch her head and put it back on her neck, indicating that no one below the Visceral Tempering Realm could hurt her.

nAfter your explanation, the girl in green understood that she had mistaken you for someone else and apologized to you. The woman in white didn’t attack you either.

nAfter the two of them left, you regulated your breathing for half a day and consumed the medicinal pill Xu Ling gave you to recover your vitality.

nIn the evening, when you rushed to Taoyuan Village, you realized that Aunt Tao and the others were washing clothes at the village entrance. Moreover, they looked like they had never seen you before.

nIn order to investigate, you infiltrated the village at night and were attacked by monsters again.

nAfter you killed the monster, the Essence Soul Bead accumulated more Yin energy. You escaped from the village according to the previous method and entered the mountain to rest for the night.

nAt dawn on the third day, you went to Taoyuan Village again. Aunt Tao and the others were still washing clothes at the entrance of the village, and they still didn’t know you.

nAt night, you infiltrated Taoyuan Village again. It was the same batch of monsters. The Essence Soul Bead accumulated another wave of Yin energy.

nAfter leaving the village to rest, you decided to continue accumulating Yin energy in Taoyuan Village and see where the upper limit of the Essence Soul Bead is.

nAt dawn on the fourth day, when you went to Taoyuan Village, you realized that the entire village was already empty.

nIn order to find out, you waited until it was dark. However, you didn’t meet Aunt Tao. Instead, you encountered the girl in green.

nThe girl in green seemed to be very interested in you and pestered you to ask why you were here. You casually found an excuse to brush it off. Soon, the woman in white appeared and wanted to take the girl in green away.

nAt this moment, an evil aura overflowed. The demon appeared and attacked you. You were no match for it at all and fell to the ground with heavy injuries.

nThe green-clothed girl begged the white-clothed woman to save you, but she was killed instead.

nThe demon discovered the Essence Soul Bead on you, so they broke your limbs and used torture to interrogate you about your background. In the end, they swallowed you in one gulp and you died.

n“Good lord!” Han Zhao’s expression changed.

nDecapitated and not dead! Demons! Monsters that kept appearing!

nThere was too much unexpected information in this simulation.

nAlthough the situation in Taoyuan Village was strange, in his previous life, it felt like a game dungeon that could be refreshed repeatedly.

nThis was an excellent place to constantly accumulate Yin energy.

nHowever, he did not know if it was because he had exploited the bug too many times, but not only did the ‘Instance Dungeon’ not refresh, but it also attracted the ‘System Administrator’—Demon!

n“Could it be that Taoyuan Village wasn’t formed by accident but was ‘man-made’? Otherwise, why would demons appear on the fourth day?”

nHan Zhao’s expression was a little uncertain.

n“It seems that this world is far more dangerous than I imagined!”
