92: Mind’s Eye
Han Yi looked at the Old Man in front of him. Although he was just an ordinary person, he possessed a unique, special aura.
His appearance showed slight signs of age, with white hair at his temples, but his tied long hair was meticulous and neat. His clothes were a bit worn but clean, without a speck of dust. In his hand was a shiny black ruler, seemingly used to discipline countless disobedient students.
"Mr. Yuan, I'm here to deliver medicine to A Qiu."
Han Yi clasped his hands and bowed respectfully.
No matter where he was, he always held deep respect for these teachers who dedicated their lives to education.
After speaking, Han Yi took out a few packets of medicine from hisPregnant and threw them to A Qiu.
Before coming to the Sutra Hall, he had specifically gone to the 'Dan Ding Pavilion' to find a Physician and formulated a potent medicine specifically for Martial Artists, mixing various herbs like Schizonepeta, Saposhnikovia, and Notopterygium to dispel wind and cold, invigorate Qi, and nourish blood. He planned to have A Qiu take it back for Xiao He to try.
This could also be considered an experiment for Han Yi, to find a way to solve this strange illness.
"Keep these safe, one packet at a time, once every two days. Take them back for Xiao He to try..."
Seeing that Han Yi didn't seem to be here to cause trouble for A Qiu, Mr. Yuan turned and entered the courtyard.
"Thank you, Brother Han!"
A Qiu's expression was excited, his face flushed red.
Although he had previously found doctors for Xiao He, those were just ordinary Physicians.
Moreover, it was clear that A Qiu and Xiao He didn't have much money. The doctors who came to see Xiao He would hardly put in effort, often giving a few perfunctory words, writing a prescription, and leaving in a hurry...
"Alright, no need to be polite. If anything similar happens again, leave a mark at the usual place, Fu Lin Restaurant, and I will naturally come to find you."
Han Yi hesitated repeatedly but still didn't mention the 'Bai Family Courtyard', not because he didn't trust A Qiu, but mainly because he feared A Qiu wouldn't be able to enter Heyue Ward...
"Oh, and A Qiu, your teacher is a good person, study hard under your teacher..."
Han Yi had only walked a few steps when he suddenly turned back and said to A Qiu.
"Okay."
A Qiu responded loudly.
In the sky, the crimson sunlight shone in all directions, and the clouds turned red, suddenly looking menacing and bizarre.
At this moment, the sun was gradually setting; it was already dusk.
Heyue Ward, Bai Family Courtyard.
Elder Li's Li Residence was absolutely out of the question, but staying in inns or restaurants meant too many eyes and ears. After much thought, he still returned to the Bai Family Courtyard.
At this time, Bai Sanren and Qian Xue were not at home, so Han Yi returned to his room alone.
He didn't light the oil lamp but sat quietly on the bed, his eyes fixed on the porcelain bottle in his hand. The dim yellow light filtered through the rosewood carved window lattice, hitting the side of his face, looking as beautiful as a sculpture by a master.
First, let's look.
[Name]: Han Yi (16/111)
[Realm]: Refining Blood (17/100)
[Cultivation Technique]: Yang Yuan Skill (Incomplete, Trait: Rejuvenation, Minor Accomplishment 4/50, Can be enhanced); Jade Bone Skill (Mortal Rank, Trait: Strong Bones, Body Protection, Great Accomplishment, Cannot be enhanced)
[Martial Arts]: Ben Lei Palm Technique (Yellow Rank High Grade, Trait: Stone Crushing Earth Splitting, Frenzied Strike, Proficient (5/20), Can be enhanced); Basic Knife Technique (Mortal Rank, Trait: Knife Dance, Minor Accomplishment 9/20, Can be enhanced); Flying Swallow Kick (Yellow Rank Low Grade, Trait: Gale, Minor Accomplishment (1/50), Can be enhanced)
[Essence Value]: 20
My own value is '60~69'.
After running around for so long, I'm still short on essence...
It seems I need to visit the Bureau of Unusual Matters more often during this time, or perhaps get more xuan yin stones...
Thinking of this, Han Yi started to get a headache again. When he browsed the exchange catalog of the Bureau of Unusual Matters, xuan yin stones were only listed for recycling, not exchange.
He was troubled about how to get his hands on the xuan yin stones held by ordinary Martial Artists without arousing suspicion.
Let's just max out 'Basic Knife Technique' first, Han Yi sighed. Although he had some talent in Blade Technique, time was pressing now, and enemies were all around. It wasn't the time to save essence.
Add points!
As the System panel changed, a feeling of complete understanding of Blade Technique emerged.
It was as if since his childhood, the knife had never left his side. Whether sleeping, eating, or training, he never put down the knife handle.
As he grew older, he found that as long as he touched a knife, his mind would be free of distractions, and his intuition would be sharp. Even though he hadn't learned any profound Blade Techniques, he could always defeat opponents in combat.
But in a fierce struggle, he encountered a formidable expert. Facing the enemy's sharp and skillful sword moves, he was in constant danger, full of flaws, but he believed in the jade ring knife in his hand. He didn't give up but tightly gripped the knife handle, looking for an opportunity.
Finally, in a certain instant, a strong intuition arose within him.
The opponent was clearly slashing horizontally at his waist with a sword. Logically, he should have defended with a vertical knife, but he didn't. He felt that the opponent's next sword move would definitely be a circling motion, with the long sword reversing the slash.
He trusted his intuition, so he roared and chopped straight down!
Thus, the enemy was defeated and killed, his face filled with disbelief and astonishment!
From then on, his reputation soared, and because his moves were without any fixed pattern, relying entirely on his intuition, he gained a new title—'Heart-Eye Saber'!
[Martial Arts]: Ben Lei Palm Technique (Yellow Rank High Grade, Trait: Stone Crushing Earth Splitting, Frenzied Strike, Proficient (5/20), Can be enhanced); Basic Knife Technique (Mortal Rank, Trait: Knife Dance, Mind's Eye, Great Accomplishment, Cannot be enhanced); Flying Swallow Kick (Yellow Rank Low Grade, Trait: Gale, Minor Accomplishment (1/50), Can be enhanced)
[Essence Value]: 9
"Not bad..."
Han Yi closed his eyes and focused, contemplating the moves in his memory. His hand involuntarily touched the Xuan Tie Sword.
Fortunately, the Xuan Tie Sword resembled a sword but was actually a saber, so Basic Knife Technique could still be effective.
Holding the Xuan Tie Sword in both hands, a feeling of confidence welled up in Han Yi's heart. He felt that if someone were to swing a knife in front of him, he could instantly see through it and counterattack immediately!
This is 'Mind's Eye'!
He looked at his strength again. When his hands were empty, it was still '60~69' with no change.
However, as long as he picked up the Xuan Tie Sword, his strength would be greatly enhanced!
For example, now, after raising the Xuan Tie Sword, his strength had actually reached '75~94'!
Before, although the Xuan Tie Sword had a 20-point value bonus, it could only increase his attack upper limit.
But after Basic Knife Technique reached Great Accomplishment and produced the new trait 'Mind's Eye', he could better utilize the power of the Xuan Tie Sword and receive bonuses in both defense and attack!
