In the evening, Su Fan returned home from the market town with a worn-out bundle on his back.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Ye Tianhe walking out of the kitchen. Seeing him, Ye Tianhe asked, "Do you still have any of that stewed demonic beast meat?"
Su Fan shook his head and said with a wry smile, "It was all gone yesterday..."
Ye Tianhe's face fell when he heard this, showing his displeasure.
"Then why haven't you gone to buy more? I love this stuff, hurry up and go..."
What the hell...
You're acting like a lord in someone else's house.
"I made that myself. You can't buy it in the market town. You'll have to make do with some pickled vegetables today."
Ye Tianhe's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"You made those stewed demonic beast meats yourself? You've got some skills! Make some more tomorrow..."
"Old Ye, fresh demonic beast meat in the market town is several times more expensive than before. It's not worth it. See if you can buy some cheaper ones from Qingxuan Sect."
If it were in the past, Su Fan wouldn't have cared, but not anymore.
He was so stingy now that he wished he could split a single spirit stone in half.
Ye Tianhe shook his head and said, "This isn't Qingxuan Sect's mountain gate. They also buy from the market town."
After speaking, he thought for a moment and clapped his hands.
"Let's go to Shaoyang Mountain. We can treat it as a relaxing trip, and kill a few demonic beasts while we're there. We'll stew them all when we get back."
Su Fan was stunned when he heard this. You call killing demonic beasts relaxing?
Are demonic beasts like pet dogs that you can just grab and pet whenever you want?
In his limited memory, the few times he had entered the mountains to hunt demonic beasts were quite perilous.
And almost every time, someone got injured.
Ye Tianhe gave Su Fan a contemptuous look.
"When I was only at the Qi Refining Second Layer, my master threw me into the mountains. I fought my way out with just a sword."
Su Fan felt no reverence for Old Ye's glorious deeds.
He just thought it was incredible that he had survived this long.
What kind of master is that?
So cruel, how can anyone treat their disciple like that?
Ye Tianhe chuckled and taunted, "Have you even seen what a demonic beast looks like yet?"
Su Fan immediately got angry. Who are you looking down on?
"I used to hunt demonic beasts in the mountains frequently. I stopped going only after I became a Talisman Master."
Ye Tianhe slapped him on the shoulder and laughed heartily, "Then what are you afraid of? It's settled. We'll go into the mountains tomorrow morning. I'm sick of staying in the market town every day."
Old Ye turned and left after speaking. Su Fan called out a few times, but the man didn't even acknowledge him.
This is...
Fine, I'll go. With my current strength, as long as I don't go deep into the mountains, there shouldn't be any danger.
Besides, Old Ye is here. Even if we encounter a second-tier demonic beast, he'll be the one to handle it.
No, this guy always gets me into trouble. I can't trust him anymore.
No matter when, I have to rely on myself.
Su Fan took out the jade slip Old Ye had given him from his storage bag and placed it on his forehead.
This secret technique was not simple. It was a lineage inheritance from the Ghost King Sect, named "Profound Nether Ghost Eye."
It was a spiritual eye secret technique of the enchantment and intimidation type.
Through enchantment, it could affect a cultivator's mind, causing them to completely lose themselves and their reason.
It could also be used for intimidation. Against opponents who were timid and fearful, it could even scare them out of their wits. It was said that if trained to the extreme, it could instantly scare a person's soul out of their body!
Su Fan put down the jade slip. He couldn't be more satisfied with this secret technique; it was excellent for tricking people.
After careful study, he quickly got the hang of it.
Su Fan opened his panel and had "Lightning Eye Dharma Eye" merge with "Profound Nether Ghost Eye."
As the secret technique merged, a large amount of information entered his mind, all of which were insights and experiences of the "Profound Nether Ghost Eye" secret technique.
After an unknown amount of time, the spiritual power and secret technique finally finished merging.
He opened his panel again: Lightning Eye Dharma Eye (Great Accomplishment): 321/400.
The "Lightning Dharma Eye" spiritual power not only gained the abilities of enchantment and intimidation, but its proficiency also increased by more than a hundred points.
He hadn't really put much effort into this spiritual power, but after absorbing two spells, it had been pushed to near perfection.
Ancient Spiritual Power is truly amazing.
With the help of the game Panel, if I can fuse more Spiritual Eye type Spells in the future, this Spiritual Power will become extraordinary.
Su Fan's eyes narrowed, a faint flash of electricity flickering within them.
He wasn't sure if it was his imagination, but the "Lightning Eye Dharma Eye" now had a hint of haziness.
Of course, mental Secret Techniques all have a drawback.
That is, your spiritual strength must be higher than the caster's, otherwise, you will suffer spiritual backlash, and the result will be very tragic.
Su Fan took out another booklet and found the Secret Technique called "Misty Smoke Step."
Compared to the Ghost King Sect's inheritance, "Profound Nether Ghost Eye," this Secret Technique was inferior. It was likely the lineage of some minor sect.
"Misty Smoke Step" can make one's movement speed as fast as lightning.
Su Fan didn't care much about this; nothing could be faster than "Lightning Ghost Step."
What he cared more about was another function of the Secret Technique: creating an afterimage to confuse opponents.
This was quite impressive.
While fighting, suddenly two figures appear in front of you, and they're incredibly fast. How can you defend against that?
However, it requires a Yin material called "Soul Falling Sand" to achieve this surprising effect.
This material isn't available in the Market Town. It's said to be easily found within the Demonic Sect's territory.
Fortunately, Yue Heng's Storage Bag still had a few bottles of "Soul Falling Sand" left, enough for him to use dozens of times.
It's a shame that although Yue Heng had mastered this Secret Technique, he didn't get a chance to use it before Su Fan severely damaged his spiritual sense.
He must have died feeling quite frustrated.
Su Fan excitedly went into the courtyard and began practicing diligently.
After his efforts, he quickly got the hang of this Secret Technique.
Su Fan repeated the process, fusing the Spiritual Power "Lightning Ghost Step" with "Misty Smoke Step."
As insights flooded his mind, "Misty Smoke Step" was completely integrated into the Spiritual Power.
He was a little excited because "Lightning Ghost Step" was already close to the Subtlety realm. He wondered if this fusion could break through.
Su Fan opened his Panel, a smile appearing on his face. It had finally reached Subtlety.
Lightning Ghost Step (Subtlety): 3/800.
He had invested a lot of time and effort into the Spiritual Power "Lightning Ghost Step," and it finally paid off.
Su Fan closed his eyes, and a flash of electricity flickered beneath his feet. His figure instantly vanished from his original spot.
When he reappeared, he was already seven or eight meters away, and his speed had noticeably increased.
Su Fan patted his Storage Bag, took out a gray porcelain bottle, and poured some onto his hand.
Activating "Lightning Ghost Step," his figure disappeared again.
When he reappeared, two blurry figures appeared where the opponent had been seven or eight meters away.
But the afterimage only remained for a few breaths before naturally dissipating.
The duration was short, but it was enough.
After all, during a duel, the opponent wouldn't wait a few breaths before attacking.
Su Fan was extremely satisfied with this fusion.
The Spiritual Power "Lightning Ghost Step" was, at the very least, his most important trump card right now.
