Han Zhao ran all the way and stood on the hillside, looking at the wall of Blackstone City not far away.

"Ji~"

A gorgeous palm-sized bird hovered from the sky and landed on Han Zhao's shoulder.

Because of Ji Zhuling's existence, Han Zhao didn't want her to discover the Ice Whispering Bird, so he asked Yu Niang to follow him in the sky during this period.

"Yu Niang! Go home!" Han Zhao rubbed Bing Yuniao's head with his fingers, cheering and running towards Black Rock City.

He had been away from Black Rock City for two months, and now he only had an urgent urge to go home.

...

Han Zhao returned to his home in Xinqiaofang, opened the door, found a layer of dust on the table, stove, and quilt, but everything else was normal.

If he was still in the same state as before time travel, it is estimated that his home would have been stolen within three days of leaving home.

Now, no little thief would dare to enter the home of a Bone Refining Realm warrior, even if there is no one at home.

"It's so dirty! Sure enough, it will be like this if no one lives in the house."

Han Zhao frowned slightly and put Yu Niang who was standing on his shoulder on the bed.

"Yu Niang, please clean the room and boil some hot water. I will come back later to take a shower."

After saying that, Han Zhao walked out of the room.

Soon, there was a rustling sound of dressing in the room.

After a while, Yu Niang got dressed, opened the door and walked out, "Brother Han, do you want to make dinner?"

"No, I'm going to the martial arts studio and I'll bring food when I come back. What do you want to eat?"

Han Zhao asked.

Yu Niang bit her finger gently, as if thinking, "I want to eat roast duck and hazelnut cake."

If it were the first time she came here, Yu Niang would still be very reserved, but after getting along with her for a period of time, especially after experiencing the things in Taoyuan Village together this time, we already feel like a family when we get along with her.

"Okay, I'll leave first." Han Zhao nodded and walked outside.

It feels really good to have someone with me when I get home, and it's great to not have to do housework.

"Well, go early and come back early." Yu Niang smiled slightly.

"I locked the outside door."

After Han Zhao walked out of the door, he closed the door outside.

"I made a lot of money this time, is it time to move to a bigger house?" Han Zhao muttered as he looked at the slightly old cabin.

"Forget it, there are too many places to spend money, and the house is the second best. Anyway, the security here is fine."

He thought about it again and decided not to buy a house for the time being.

Although Xinqiaofang is just a civilian area, the living environment is not bad. As long as he maintains his current strength, no one will provoke him.

This time he got 5,000 taels of silver from selling the 'Hundred Poison Palm' secret book, and more than 3,000 taels worth of dried meat, but he had already eaten most of it.

In addition to the subsequent nine thousand taels given to him by Ji Zhuling, he now has a total of fourteen thousand taels of silver in his hands.

Six thousand taels of it will be used to buy black gold. After all, both the Rebirth Sword and the Extraction Knife have to be recast.

Especially the extraction knife, which had a gaping hole during the first night of battle in Taoyuan Village, and can no longer be used.

The recast sword of death in the simulation was finally channeled, and its power was greatly increased. It was very similar to the magic weapon Ji Zhuling mentioned, and it could obviously greatly enhance his combat power.

You have to buy weapons anyway, and weapons that can grow psychically are naturally an excellent choice.

"When you reach the second level of Qi and blood, you will go and avenge Zhu Kangsheng." Han Zhao secretly thought that it was time to deal with Feilong Village.

In fact, with his current strength, in a one-on-one match, even if he encounters a master with three levels of energy, he has a high probability of winning. However, he has many trump cards, and others may not have a trump card at the bottom of the box.

Even if there is one in a hundred, he doesn't want to overturn because of this one percent chance.

When he reaches the second stage of qi and blood, his qi and blood will break through again, and his normal combat power is estimated to surpass that of a master with three levels of qi and blood, and there is no need to use the 'sword drawing technique' at all.

"First convert money and Yin Qi into combat power to gain a firm hand."

...

Yijiangfang.

Shanshan Boxing Academy.

When Han Zhao arrived, some apprentices who were practicing boxing suddenly stopped.

"Senior Brother Han?"

"Korean photo?!"

"Are you okay?"

Some apprentices came up to greet him and inquire about his physical condition. After all, they had learned from Xu Ling that Han Zhao was seriously injured and had been recovering from his injuries for almost a month and a half.

"It's okay, I'm fine." Han Zhao greeted the apprentice who came forward, and then walked towards the inner courtyard.

He noticed that there were far fewer apprentices greeting him this time. He probably thought that he was seriously injured and there was no possibility of further progress.

It's really a reality.

Noticing the apprentices whispering, Han Zhao couldn't help shaking his head and laughing, and walked into the inner courtyard.

There were only three people practicing in the open space in the inner courtyard. Among them, a man and a woman were both fifteen or sixteen years old, with unfamiliar faces, as if they were newcomers.

And the other woman is Xu Ling.

"Raise your hand high, and don't shake the hand holding the knife! Keep your steps steady! The so-called practice until you don't practice the steps, and practice the steps to hit the master, is..."

Xu Ling held an unedged long knife, demonstrated the knife movements, and guided the other two people with a serious expression.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Xu Ling turned around subconsciously. When she saw Han Zhao, who had not returned for a month and a half, her eyes suddenly widened.

Bang!

Xu Ling threw the long knife in his hand to the ground and rushed in front of Han Zhao.

"Junior Brother Han, you are finally back." Xu Ling's eyes were full of joy, and her voice was filled with anger. Considering that there were other junior brothers and sisters present, she resisted the urge to hug Han Zhao.

"I'm sorry, Senior Sister Xu, I'm late." Han Zhao smiled. There were outsiders around, so he didn't call Xu Ling by his nickname.

"It's okay, just come back." Xu Ling showed a relieved expression.

When Han Zhao saw that Lu Yi was not in the inner courtyard, he asked, "Is Master Lu here? I'll go and inform him."

"Master Lu is in the backyard." Xu Ling pointed to the corridor, then stood on tiptoe and leaned into Han Zhao's ear, whispering: "He has been in a bad mood recently."

"I know, I'll go see Master Lu first and I'll find you later." Han Zhao smiled ambiguously.

"Go quickly." Xu Ling's cheeks warmed up and she gently took a photo of Han.

Han Zhao walked towards the backyard.

At this time, a gossiping voice came from behind, "Senior Sister Xu, is this Senior Brother Han who never showed up because he was injured? He looks so good-looking! Is she your sweetheart?"

"What are you looking at! Go and practice your sword! If you don't get it right, I'll give you extra practice alone!" Xu Ling's serious voice sounded.

Han Zhao couldn't help but laugh, but in his heart he was wondering if he had to teach Xu Ling the 'Luan Feng and Ming Gong' first.

He is not a eunuch, so he naturally likes women. It's just that survival and becoming stronger are more important and outweigh this desire.

Now you can become stronger through the 'Luan Feng and Ming Gong' and do some things you love while doing it, so why not do it.

By the time Xu Ling completes the first level, it will probably be almost done, and both parties will benefit greatly by then.

Xu Ling's abilities were much better than his, but she didn't give up.

Moreover, the second to third levels of the Duanyue Sword Technique are indeed a bit difficult to practice. The blood training realm itself is also the first big bottleneck for warriors, and it is not easy to break through, except for him.

...

When Han Zhao arrived at the backyard, Lu Yi was lying on a lounge chair basking in the sun with his eyes closed, but rare for him, he did not eat melon seeds.

"Master."

Han Zhao stepped forward and bowed.

"Huh?" Lu Yi suddenly opened his eyes when he heard a familiar voice. When he saw Han Zhao standing on the corridor, he couldn't help but look happy.

Seeing Han Zhao coming over, his face suddenly fell, he lay back on the recliner again, snorted coldly: "He's not dead?!"

Hearing the seeming resentment in Lu Yi's words, Han Zhao quickly reacted. He walked to Lu Yi and beat his shoulders, and said with a smile: "Master, what are you talking about? If my disciple dies, won't you be sad?"

?I have just recovered from my injury, and I will come to see you as soon as I return to the city."

"You still have some conscience." Lu Yi looked at Han Zhao's face carefully and relaxed, "Fortunately, judging from your complexion, it is obvious that your injury has fully recovered, and you don't appear to be depleted of energy and blood. It will not affect your ability to break through and practice blood in the future.

Jing. From now on, stay in the city and don’t run around, you know?"

"Yes." Han Zhao felt Lu Yi's concern and nodded repeatedly.

"By the way, Master, is that martial arts gym for boxing..." Han Zhao asked in a low voice.

This time he came back a month later than originally scheduled, so the sparring at the martial arts studio was probably over.
