Chapter 80: Seeing Blue Investments Again!

"Junior Brother Ye, please come in," a gentle voice replied.

Outside the door, Ye Han took a deep breath, straightened his clothes, and pushed open the door, stepping inside.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a young man of tall stature in purple robes, smiling at him. "Junior Brother Ye Han pays respects to Senior Brother Li Xun!"

Ye Han didn't dare to be neglectful and quickly bowed. "Please, have a seat."

Li Xun pointed to a chair beside him and casually said, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

As they sat down, Li Xun gave Ye Han a meaningful look and said, "The competition for the entry to the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm will begin tomorrow. Why has Junior Brother Ye Han, who should be focusing on cultivation, suddenly come to me?"

"Senior Brother..." Ye Han pursed his lips and took out a black stone from his hand, saying hesitantly, "I came today to thank Senior Brother."

"Oh?" Li Xun noticed Ye Han's small action but didn't point it out, smiling as he asked, "What is Junior Brother thanking me for?"

"Today, in Zhentian City, thank you for helping me fend off the situation. If it weren't for Senior Brother's intervention, I'm afraid I would have..." Ye Han's expression was extremely complex.

The events at the Third Princess's mansion today had already spread throughout Zhentian City.

Many people were amazed at Li Xun's toughness but also felt that he was not acting wisely. If Xuanyang Sect didn't confront Beast Taming Sect, the trip to the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm this time would have benefited Xuanyang Sect to some extent because of Li Xun's presence. However, Li Xun put Xuanyang Sect in a very dangerous situation just to protect an inner disciple, which was clearly very unwise.

If this inner disciple had a strong cultivation base, it would have been understandable. However, the key issue was that Ye Han's cultivation base was only at the late stage of the Qi Refining Realm, or even just at the peak of the Qi Refining Realm. In everyone's eyes, Ye Han was just a hanging ornament, and it was uncertain whether he could even enter the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm.

But Li Xun had offended Ning Cheng for such a person, and no matter how you looked at it, it was a losing proposition.

Of course, many people also saw that the situation in the Beast Taming Sect was not much better. Countless people had already concluded that the confrontation between Li Xun and Ning Cheng this time was bound to end in mutual destruction. With these two top geniuses out of the picture, opportunities would arise for others.

Many disciples of various sects, when discussing today's events, all looked like they were looking forward to seeing a good show.

As a disciple of Xuanyang Sect, and also one of the catalysts for today's events, Ye Han must have known all the news in Zhentian City. After hearing about everything that happened at the Third Princess's mansion, his heart was undoubtedly extremely complicated.

This time, it was Li Xun once again who saved him. If it weren't for Li Xun, even if he wasn't handed over by Xuanyang Sect, he would probably have no chance of entering the Elemental Phoenix Secret Realm this time.

"It's just a trivial matter, not worth mentioning," Li Xun said with a wry smile. Today's matter, whether it was Ye Han or anyone else, would definitely not have been handed over. Once someone was handed over, it would mean that he, Li Xun, had backed down.

This style of doing things not only makes outsiders look down upon it, but it will definitely also invite contempt from many people when returning to Xuanyang Sect in the future.

Just because of a threat, he handed over his senior brother, and I guess no one would be willing to follow him.

"For senior brother, it's indeed a small matter, but for junior brother, it's crucial."

Ye Han was extremely solemn. He raised both hands, holding up a black stone, and presented it to Li Xun. He said, "Senior brother, today's great kindness, junior brother cannot repay. Before this, junior brother already owed senior brother a lot."

"Please make sure to accept this small token of appreciation from junior brother!"

"Hmm?"

Li Xun glanced at the stone in Ye Han's hand.

This stone, roughly the size of a fist, was pitch black all over. From the surface, it seemed like there was nothing special about it.

At least.

He couldn't see anything unusual about it.

Sure enough.

As expected of the protagonist.

Ye Han had brought this thing to him, and he still couldn't figure out what was special about this stone. If it were placed on the street outside, it would definitely be overlooked.

"Is this the stone that the disciple from Beast Taming Sect was contending for with you?"

Li Xun asked as he reached out to take it, examining it up and down.

"Yes."

Ye Han nodded. "Today, junior brother was in the mood and bought this stone. Based on junior brother's intuition, this stone should contain a secret technique!"

As if afraid that Li Xun would misunderstand, Ye Han explained again, "Junior brother still doesn't know what secret technique is contained inside this stone."

"Is that so?"

Li Xun said with some amusement.

In his view, the reason why Ye Han could be sure that there was a secret technique contained in this stone should be because of the old man behind him telling him so.

...

Otherwise, if he could determine what was inside the stone just by intuition, that would be too mystical.

At this moment.

He suddenly understood the Third Princess a bit.

It seemed that when she asked him how he knew she needed the Enlightenment Pill, he also answered like this.

After pondering for a moment.

Li Xun's spiritual sense penetrated into the stone.

At the moment when his spiritual sense entered the stone, a massive amount of information rushed into his mind.

It was a scripture.

Named the "Blood Ignition Secret Technique."

It was only a few thousand words long, but its grade was Top Grade Profound Ranked.

After roughly browsing through the content, Li Xun suddenly understood.

What Ye Han said was true. This was indeed a kind of secret technique, different from spiritual arts or cultivation methods. There was no concept of minor achievement, major achievement, or perfection in practicing secret techniques...

As long as you learned it, you could use it.

The "Blood Ignition Secret Technique" belonged to the type that enhanced strength. At the Qi Refining stage, it could enhance one major realm; at the Spirit Connection stage, it could enhance one or two minor realms.

By the time one reached the Profound Core stage, its effect would be minimal, at most enhancing a bit of strength. It couldn't even elevate a minor realm.

Each use of the Blood Ignition Secret Technique could only last for about an hour, and once the time passed, one would be weakened for a day.

Of course.

With the assistance of elixirs, this time could be greatly shortened.

‘It seems like this was a special technique specifically prepared for Ye Han.’

After reading the content, Li Xun clicked his tongue in amazement.

Having already reached the Profound Core stage himself, this secret technique was of no use to him. If he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, even if his strength was enhanced slightly, it wouldn't change the outcome.

However, in Ye Han's hands, it was different. He was only at the late stage of Qi Refining. Once he activated the Blood Ignition Secret Technique, his strength would instantly skyrocket to the late stage of Spirit Connection realm.

With such strength, coupled with Ye Han's protagonist aura, wouldn't it be like a god among men, invincible?

Retracting his spiritual sense, Li Xun looked at Ye Han again. He saw that Ye Han, who had seemed ordinary before, was now emitting a visible layer of blue light at a rapid pace.

At the same time, the voice of the system rang in Li Xun's mind.

【Ding, congratulations, Master, you have discovered a blue investable person. Investing in the Blood Ignition Secret Technique will grant you a part of the Six Paths Heavenly Fist (Middle-Grade Earth).】
