I Have Unlimited Dantians

Inside a hidden compartment of the backpack, a map had been etched with special, faint markings. You would completely miss it if you weren’t looking closely.

’Isn’t this the map of the Luoo Qu Tomb?’

After carefully examining the most crucial part of the map, Nie Yun confirmed that it depicted the very Luoo Qu Tomb he had just entered!

’The map to the Luoo Qu Tomb!’

’Could the Luoo Qu Tomb be related to the secret of the Seven Swords?’

Nie Yun couldn’t make heads or tails of it.

’In my past life, I reached the Peak of my power, but I never heard of any Seven Swords. It’s probably nothing important. Since I can’t figure it out, there’s no point in dwelling on it.’

’This Luo Yan was really unlucky. Who knows how long he searched with this map, only to find the place and die at the entrance... Oh well. Your two nephews ran off too quickly, so I guess I’ll be the one to bury you.’

His eyes fell on the skeleton Luo Yu and his companion had brought. The two had been so scared their legs turned to jelly, and they had run so fast they forgot to take the skeleton with them. He had no choice but to bury it for them.

Of course, there were also Xiaohu’s parents.

Recalling the enormous bodies of Xiaohu’s parents, Nie Yun couldn’t help but shake his head. ’If I’m really going to bury bodies that big, how long would it even take just to dig the pit...’

’I should just cremate them. Demon Beast corpses don’t decay for many years. It would be a real shame if someone found them, dug them up, and sold their pelts.’

After some thought, he decided to cremate Xiaohu’s parents.

RUSTLE!

As his mind wandered, he heard a stir from Xiaohu, who had been sleeping in front of him. Its enormous eyes slowly fluttered open.

A substantial gleam shot from its eyes, radiant and mesmerizing.

’Peak of Qi Sect... and with its mutated body, I’m afraid even an ordinary Ultimate Venerable Powerhouse would be no match for it!’

Seeing the gleam in Xiaohu’s eyes and the aura it exuded, Nie Yun knew that now, for the first time since his rebirth, he finally had the means to protect himself!

"Master!" Xiaohu’s voice reached Nie Yun’s mind through his Beast Taming Dantian. "I want to take my parents’ bodies with me!"

"Take them with you?" Nie Yun paused, taken aback.

"Yes." Xiaohu opened its massive maw, generating a powerful suction that instantly pulled the two corpses off the ground, making them vanish in the blink of an eye.

’A Storage Dantian? Demon Beasts have Storage Dantians, too?’ Seeing that it seemed to have placed the corpses into a Storage Dantian, Nie Yun’s eyes widened in disbelief.

’Demon Beasts aren’t Qi Sea Cultivators and they don’t have Bloodline Factors. How could it possibly have a Storage Dantian?’

"Master, it’s not a Storage Dantian," Xiaohu’s voice came via Sound Transmission. "It’s a Secret Technique unique to us Demon Beasts, one I comprehended upon reaching the Qi Sect Realm. It allows me to create a space inside my body!"

’So that’s how it is.’ Hearing that it was a Secret Technique unique to Demon Beasts, Nie Yun nodded.

All Demon Beasts could be considered a single race, known as the Beast Race. Though the Beast Race wasn’t as powerful as the Demon Race or the Human Race, they possessed quite a few Secret Techniques. Creating an internal space similar to a Storage Dantian probably wasn’t that difficult for them.

After Xiaohu stored away the bodies of the two Tiger-Headed Beasts, Nie Yun found a spot and buried the skeleton of the man named Luo Yan. With everything taken care of, man and beast once again sped off toward the valley to capture the Cyan Nightmare Centipedes.

Xiaohu’s power level had increased, and it was much faster than before. The journey that previously took over an hour now took only about twenty minutes—a full three times faster!

’It’s been over a day. The bait is probably gone and any Cyan Nightmare Centipedes have long since fled...’

He was supposed to check the trap after an hour, but now, more than a day later, the bait was surely eaten.

Without much hope, Nie Yun arrived at the spot where he had buried the chicken and slowly began to dig away the top layer of soil.

’Hm? They’re still here? Haha, where do you think you’re going!’

The moment he broke through the surface, he saw two cyan centipedes latched onto the plump rooster. By now, the chicken had been eaten down to the bone, its innards long gone.

Confirming that they were indeed the Cyan Nightmare Centipedes he needed, Nie Yun gave a sly grin, and his fingers moved like the wind to snatch up the two little creatures.

’Pill Fire, burn! Refine into an Elixir!’

With all the ingredients for the Red-Tailed Fossil Pill gathered, Nie Yun smiled. He activated his Pill Fire Dantian, and a burst of intense flame instantly seared the Cyan Nightmare Centipedes dry, forcing out their venom in moments.

His fingers danced as he tossed the medicinal materials he had prepared into the flames one by one. In a little over ten minutes, a golden elixir appeared in his palm.

’The Red-Tailed Fossil Pill! With this elixir, the petrification of my brother’s legs can be cured. He’ll be able to move freely again soon!’

Thinking of how his brother would soon be able to walk, Nie Yun smiled, stored the elixir in his Dantian, and hopped back onto Xiaohu, speeding toward Luoshui City.

"Yun’er, Feng Xiao from the Feng Family is waiting for you in the Council Hall. Do you want to go see him?"

His mother spotted him as soon as he entered the courtyard and spoke with a smile.

By now, his mother had already begun cultivating the Misty Immortal Heart Technique, and her strength had successfully advanced from the Early-Stage to the mid-stage of the True Qi Realm.

"Feng Xiao? Alright. Mother, give this elixir to Nie Tong. It will cure the petrification of his legs. I’m going to go see what’s up."

After telling Xiaohu to find a place to consolidate its power, Nie Yun casually tossed the elixir to his mother.

’Anyway, the elixir is already made. As long as he takes it, it will definitely work. I don’t need to be there to watch.’

"It can cure the petrification of his legs? This..." His mother froze, stunned by the elixir’s claimed effect.

His mother didn’t know about the matter he had discussed with his father, so hearing about such an elixir left her too shocked for words.

"That’s right. Take it to him. Oh, and when Nie Tong takes it, you should probably call Father over. He’s a Qi Sect Powerhouse, so it will be safer with him watching."

After giving his instructions, Nie Yun walked over to the Council Hall.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered, he saw Feng Xiao sitting inside with an anxious expression, looking as if something was weighing heavily on his mind.

"Nie Yun, you’re back!"

The moment he saw the young man enter the hall, Feng Xiao shot to his feet, a look of excitement on his face.

"What’s wrong?" Nie Yun couldn’t help but ask, seeing his strange expression.

’Feng Xiao has always been pretty composed. Why does he seem so indecisive today?’

"I discovered something strange yesterday and wanted to come discuss it with you... Ah! Your cultivation! Your cultivation..."

Feng Xiao was only halfway through his sentence when he noticed that Nie Yun’s strength had increased yet again. His eyes nearly popped out of his head in disbelief.

Not long ago, Nie Yun’s leap from the True Qi Realm to the Gang Formation Realm in just ten days had been astonishing enough. Feng Xiao had assumed that after such a massive surge in power, advancing further would be incredibly difficult. He never imagined that after not seeing him for only a day, Nie Yun would break through again, reaching the Qi Sea Seventh Layer Armor Realm!

The Seventh Layer Armor allowed one to use a Marquis Clan’s Top-Grade Martial Arts, representing a significant leap in power over the previous layers. Only a person of this caliber could be considered part of the Nobility, and only someone of this level could rightfully become a Clan Leader and suppress any and all dissent!

’Such a rapid advancement speed... Is... is he even human?’

’I remember when my Dantian first awakened, I was so proud of myself for advancing from the Early-Stage Body Emergence Realm to the Peak in just a few days. I thought I had the fastest cultivation speed in the world. But seeing Nie Yun now, I realize my own speed isn’t even worthy of carrying his shoes!’

’This is what you call heaven-defying! This right here!’

’This is what you call a monster! This right here!’

’Actually, I let Feng Xiao see my cultivation on purpose. My relationship with him isn’t like my one with Yangg Yan. Right now, he only admires me because I did him a favor. To make him follow me willingly, from the bottom of his heart, I have to show him that his most promising future is with me!’

"So, what happened? Tell me."

Seeing his reaction, Nie Yun knew his goal had been achieved. He retracted his aura, once again becoming an enigma whose true power was impossible to gauge.

"It’s like this."

Suppressing the shock in his heart, Feng Xiao took a deep breath as if to organize his thoughts. "I discovered a strange place outside the city. It seems to be the ruins left behind by some powerful expert..."

"Ruins left by a powerful expert?"

Nie Yun was taken aback. ’Things left behind by powerful experts are usually well hidden, either concealed by a Secret Technique or built in some remote, inaccessible location. To be discovered so easily... since when did ruins become so common?’
