Ma Yuanzhou's face froze for a moment, obviously he did not expect that Fang Han would refuse so simply.
But he quickly returned to his "high posture" and tapped his fingers twice on his knees:
"You may wish to think about it again. Skyfire Sect has been in Cloud Province for hundreds of years, and our sect's connections are spread all over the county. If you have the friendship of our clan, many things will be much easier for you to travel here in the future."
His tone was still gentle, but the word "convenient" fell into Fang Han's ears, and it clearly had another meaning.
If you don't get Skyfire Sect's friendship, it may not be convenient.
Fang Han's face darkened.
He raised his eyes and looked at Ma Yuanzhou. There was no emotion in his eyes, but it made Ma Yuanzhou sit up straighter unconsciously.
Fang Han did not draw the sword, but put his hand on the edge of the table and said calmly:
"Ma Elder, I say it again, please come back."
This time, there was a hint of undisguised coldness in his voice.
Ma Yuanzhou's lips moved, as if he wanted to say something more, but when he met Fang Han's eyes, the words were stuck in his throat.
A sharp aura came out of Fang Han's body, carrying a chill that sent chills to the bones.
Faced with this aura, all the persuasion and pressure he had prepared were difficult to spit out and had to be swallowed back.
He stood up, cupped his hands, and his voice was a little lower than before:
"Since your mind has been made up, I won't bother you any more."
Without saying another word, he turned around, pushed open the door and walked out, his footsteps quickly disappearing in the corridor.
Fang Han sat where he was, looking at the door that had closed again, and was silent for a moment.
He did not regret rejecting Ma Yuanzhou. That piece of Starry Ink Jade was worth far more to him than any treasure or favor.
But Ma Yuanzhou felt so deeply depressed when he left that he could tell that the matter might not just be forgotten.
He stood up, tied up Silver-Gray Longsword, and quickly packed up the things in the bedroom.
A few changes of clothes, Danyao, and the roll of animal skins were included in Storage Ring.
He didn't check out, didn't even alert the waiters, he just climbed over the wall from the backyard and left the inn after a few ups and downs.
The sky has not yet darkened, and there are still many pedestrians on the street. Fang Han blends into the crowd and heads towards the city gate.
After leaving the city, Fang Han did not follow the official road. Instead, he turned into a remote trail and ran for about half an hour before stopping deep in a dense forest.
Surrounded by towering ancient trees, their branches and leaves blocked the last few rays of skylight, and the forest was so quiet that the only sound left was his own breathing.
He raised his hand to take off Human Skin Mask from his face and put it into Storage Ring, revealing his true face.
He took off his gray cloth robe and put on a clean green shirt.
Except for the extremely ordinary-looking Silver-Gray Longsword at the waist, the whole body has been replaced, and the whole person's image is completely different from the Grey-Robed Middle-Aged Man just now.
"We can no longer keep this false identity!"
Fang Han stood under the ancient tree with his hands behind his hands and glanced at the way he came.
Ma Yuanzhou's visit made him realize that he could no longer keep his current identity.
A piece of Starry Ink Jade the size of a human head is enough to make a top power like Skyfire Sect, with Top Grandmaster at its command, excited.
Although he has combat power comparable to that of a grandmaster, it is only comparable to the most ordinary grandmaster, and is far from comparable to a force like Skyfire Sect.
Today it is Skyfire Sect, and tomorrow it may be other forces.
Those top forces were like sharks that smelled blood, and they gathered around again and again.
Compared with the threat posed by the master killer Dark Abyss, the trouble caused by this disguised identity is actually greater now.
If you continue to walk around with the identity of "Grey-Robed Middle-Aged Man", you will cause more trouble sooner or later. It is time to give up this identity.
"Whoosh!"
Cast Body Movement, Fang Han returns to Misty City.
More than a day later, he returned to Misty City.
He entered the city from the north gate, walked through the streets and alleys, and followed a familiar route to the rented courtyard in the north of the city.
The lock on the courtyard door was still hanging. He took out the key and unlocked it, pushed the door in, and lowered the latch with his backhand.
The branches and leaves of the old locust trees in the courtyard are a bit denser than when we left, and the thick shade completely covers most of the courtyard.
After checking the yard, he walked to the main room, put Silver-Gray Longsword on the table, and sat down on the pear wood chair in front of the window to rest.
After leaving for a few days, no one visited the courtyard. Of course, even if a thief visited, he would not get any benefit. All valuable things were kept in Storage Ring.
After sitting and resting for a while, Fang Han got up, washed briefly, and changed into a clean white robe.
After he regained some of his energy, he sat down in front of the window, took out the yellowed animal skin booklet from Storage Ring, placed it on his lap, and slowly unfolded it.
"Based on Wind Concept, Body Movement is like the wind, traveling thousands of miles a day, chasing the wind and the moon."
Fang Han's eyes stayed on this sentence for a moment, and then continued reading.
Those simple words spread out before his eyes, and the mystery contained in them was more than one level deeper than <Wind God Step>.
He pointed his fingertips at the paths of Internal Qi circulation in the album, deducing and confirming them over and over in his mind.
When he encountered something obscure and difficult to understand, he stopped and chewed it several times until he understood it thoroughly before continuing to read.
Outside the window, the sun moves from the east to the center, and then slowly tilts westward from the center.
Sunlight shines on the pages of the book through the gaps between the branches and leaves of the old locust tree, and the light and shadow slowly move as time goes by.
Fang Han never stood up, but occasionally took a sip from the teacup, his eyes never leaving the volume.
About half a day later, when it was almost dusk outside the window, Fang Han slowly closed the yellowed animal skin booklet.
He closed his eyes and replayed everything he had just read in his mind.
From the essence of the general outline, to the three levels of energy movement methods Beginner stage, Minor Accomplishment, and Proficiency Realm, to the integration methods of those Internal Qi circulation keys and Artistic Conception.
All the words, diagrams, and annotations were clearly imprinted on his mind at this moment.
He opened his eyes and breathed out a breath.
"I've memorized it thoroughly."
Fang Han put away the booklet, opened the door, and walked into the courtyard.
The crown of the old locust tree rustled in the evening breeze, and a few dead leaves swirled down, spreading a thin layer on the ground.
He stood in the courtyard, closing his eyes and concentrating.
The mental formula of <Wind-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Steps> flows slowly in my mind, and those ancient methods of energy movement, the circulation route of Internal Qi, and the combination of Wind Concept and Body Movement emerge one by one, as clear as ever.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and his body moved.
"Whoosh--"
He was not in a hurry to go faster, but just followed the most basic method of moving energy described in the book, trying to mobilize Internal Qi in his body to move forward in line with his pace.
His figure slid silently along the Azure Gangstone ground in the yard, not very fast.
On the first trip, his movements were a bit jerky, and there were obvious stagnations at several turning points.
The second time, the harshness subsided a lot, and the stagnation between turns was also alleviated.
The third trip, the fourth trip, the fifth trip--
He practiced it over and over again.
The moonlight gradually climbed up the courtyard wall and slowly moved westward in the night wind.
Fang Han seems to have forgotten time, only remembering the steps under his feet and the flow of Internal Qi in his body.
He could clearly feel that there were many similarities between this Middle-Grade Artistic Conception Body Movement and his own Perfection Realm<Wind God Step>.
Although the methods of transporting energy and the routes of circulation of Internal Qi are different, many of the principles are the same, and understanding them will yield twice the result with half the effort.
Every time he practices it, he becomes more mellow and smooth.
When the night got darker and the silver-gray moonlight filled the entire courtyard, Fang Han's figure finally became completely coherent.
"Shuashuashua--"
He swept from the east to the west of the courtyard, and then turned to the south wall.
There was no hesitation during the turn. When the toes were a little bit on the Azure Gangstone ground, the whole person floated to the other end of the yard silently.
The movements are smooth and free, and there is no trace of jerkiness.
"I can already use it skillfully."
Fang Han collected his figure and stood in the courtyard.
The evening breeze blew through the corners of his clothes and gently blew up a few strands of hair on his forehead.
He stood with his hands behind his hands, feeling the feeling of the last drill just now, and nodded slightly.
With the Perfection Realm<Wind God Step> as the basis, it only took him a few hours to master Body Movement's moves and movement techniques.
However, if you want to go one step further and reach the Beginner stage level, it cannot be achieved in a short time.
He needs to integrate Wind Concept into Body Movement to truly push this Body Movement to the level of Beginner stage.
"It will take at least two months."
Fang Han estimates that it will take at least two months to cultivate <Wind-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Steps> into Beginner stage.
This is because <Great Void Wind God Sword> has Beginner stage, and his understanding of Wind Concept has reached the Middle-Grade Artistic Conception Beginner stage level, meeting the Beginner stage conditions of <Wind-Chasing Moon-Pursuing Steps>Artistic Conception.
All that is missing is to integrate the insights of Artistic Conception with Body Movement and apply Artistic Conception to Body Movement.
Otherwise, this time may be doubled.
"Compared to Body Movement, the breakthrough in cultivation will be faster."
Fang Han whispered to himself.
At up to five hundred and twelve times Root Bone Talent Amplification, his cultivation level was improving at an extremely fast rate.
After coming to White Cloud Prefecture, because Heaven and Earth Origin Energy has become more abundant, the cultivation speed has been accelerated by 20 to 30%.
Now that I have obtained Starry Ink Jade, which can increase the cultivation speed by three times, it is difficult to imagine how fast the cultivation speed will be improved.
Therefore, he estimated that his cultivation level should be able to break through faster than Body Movement.
The next morning, after Fang Han had breakfast, he sat cross-legged among Quiet Room.
He took out the piece of Starry Ink Jade from Storage Ring and placed it in front of his knees.
The head-sized ink jade glows with a deep luster in the morning light, and the stars inside slowly circulate.
He took out a jade bottle from Storage Ring, poured two grains of Earth Spirit Pill into his mouth.
"Wow--"
<Greenwood Poison-Avoidance Scripture>Run slowly.
Dark Green and Internal Qi began to surge in the meridians, capturing and refining the medicinal power bit by bit.
The fluctuations of Starry Ink Jade were revealed, like an invisible hand, which suddenly increased his cultivation speed.
The speed at which the medicinal power is refined is significantly accelerated, and the converted Internal Qi is gathered and poured into Purple Mansion Acupoint at a speed far faster than before.
"With this speed of cultivation, a breakthrough is bound to be not far away."
Fang Han can clearly feel that Internal Qi is growing at a considerable rate in his body.
At this speed, Purple Mansion Acupoint can be filled up with Internal Qi in at most half a month, breaking through to the next level.
