I Have Unlimited Dantians

"Feng Xiao?"

"Yeah, that kid’s progressing even faster. He’s already reached the Mid-Stage Gang Formation Realm. I can’t keep up anymore!" Yangg Yan was a burly man, and he spoke just as bluntly.

"What’s he up to?" Nie Yun was a little confused.

’That Demon Core from yesterday should have been enough for Feng Xiao to reach the Peak of Gang Formation Realm, so why did he only advance to the mid-stage? And why did he give it to Yangg Yan to absorb?’

’Whatever. No point dwelling on something I can’t figure out.’ Nie Yun shook his head and stated his purpose for coming. "I need to borrow your family’s Blood Dragon Armor. See if you can get it for me to use. I’ll return it in a few days!"

"The Blood Dragon Armor? I don’t know anything about that. Wait here, I’ll go ask the Elders. They should know!"

Yangg Yan had only just taken control of the Yangg Family, so he wasn’t clear on what treasures the family possessed. After speaking, he turned and headed for the Council Hall, but stopped after a few steps. "Even if they know, they might not agree to lend it out. Last time, I killed the sons of the Great Elder and the Second Elder, so those two have a huge problem with me. They oppose basically every decision I make. My strength isn’t enough, so there’s nothing I can do about them!"

The last time Yangg Yan returned to the family, he was challenged by the sons of the Great Elder and Second Elder over his position as the primary heir. He ended up cleaving both of them into mincemeat with a single swing of his axe. Back then, everyone was afraid of his master, so the matter was dropped. Now that he was leading the family, these two Elders didn’t dare oppose him openly, but they constantly resisted him passively and undermined his authority, which gave him a huge headache.

"I’ll go with you."

"Great! With you here, let’s see who still dares to spout nonsense!" Yangg Yan’s eyes lit up when he heard Nie Yun would be backing him.

In his eyes, Nie Yun had an endless bag of tricks. If the Great Elder and Second Elder dared to cause trouble, Nie Yun would definitely have a way to teach them a lesson.

"Heh, you go in first and discuss it with them. Tell them you’re borrowing the Blood Dragon Armor to deal with the Demon Race, and that the safety of Luoshui City is at stake. If they see the bigger picture and just lend it, then fine. If not, I’ll make them hand it over obediently!"

Nie Yun gave a faint smile.

Luoshui City was at a critical juncture of life and death, yet many people were clinging to their old status within their families and refusing to follow unified command. If this kind of situation were to occur during a Demon Race invasion, it would be a classic case of one rotten apple spoiling the bunch.

To prevent that from happening, Nie Yun planned to make a show of force to intimidate them.

’Those who obey will be fine. Those who don’t will be killed on the spot!’

「Inside the Council Hall.」

"I just stepped out for a moment. Young Master Nie Yun of the Nie Family came to see me. He wants to borrow our family’s Blood Dragon Armor. I’d like to ask for the opinions of you Elders!"

Following Nie Yun’s instructions, Yangg Yan entered the hall first, sat in the main seat, and spoke directly.

"Borrow the Blood Dragon Armor?"

"How does he know our family has a Blood Dragon Armor?"

A murmur of discussion rose from among the Elders.

"Anx Jing for a moment and let me finish. I’m sure you all know by now that Nie Haotian was possessed by a demon! The fact that the Demon Race could successfully possess the Clan Leader of one of the Four Great Families shows that Luoshui City is in imminent danger! This time, Young Master Nie Yun is borrowing our Blood Dragon Armor specifically to fight the Demon Race. He’ll return it in a day at the soonest, or four to five days at the latest!"

Yangg Yan relayed what Nie Yun had told him to say.

"The Demon Race is the greatest enemy of the Human Race. If it’s to fight them, there’s no harm in lending it to him!"

"That’s right. Nie Xiaotian is already a Qi Sect Powerhouse. It’s only a matter of time before the Empire ennobles them as a Royal Family. He probably wouldn’t even care about a single Blood Dragon Armor!"

Hearing from Yangg Yan that it was only being borrowed to fight the Demon Race, most of the Elders didn’t have any major objections.

The Demon Race was the common enemy of all humans. If an invasion really happened, they would lose everything anyway. The Blood Dragon Armor was just an inanimate object; if it could be of some use, the crowd didn’t mind lending it out.

"I disagree! The Blood Dragon Armor is our family’s Clan Treasure. The clan precepts have long instructed that we descendants must not reveal its existence, let alone lend it to an outsider! I staunchly refuse to let you lend this item out!"

While the other Elders had no major objections, the Great Elder stood up, his brows shot up, and he bellowed.

"I also disagree! We address you as Clan Leader for now, but don’t forget, one must be at the Peak of Armor Realm to be truly qualified for that seat. If you want to lend out the Clan Treasure, wait until you’ve reached the Peak of Armor Realm!" the Second Elder chimed in.

With the Great and Second Elders voicing their opposition, the originally quiet hall erupted into discussion once more.

"I think the Great Elder is right. The Blood Dragon Armor is our family’s Clan Treasure. How can we just lend it out so easily?"

"It’s better not to lend it. Lending it out is like revealing our strengths and weaknesses to others. How could it still be called a Clan Treasure then?"

"The Nie Family isn’t borrowing this for their own use, but to fight the Demon Race! If any of you are willing to step up and fight the Demon Race, then we don’t have to lend it. But, I’ll tell you this in advance: the demon they’re fighting is a Qi Sect Realm powerhouse. Otherwise, they wouldn’t need to borrow this!"

Seeing many people change their minds and turn against him under the Great and Second Elders’ Enchantment, Yangg Yan suppressed his rage and shouted with a flick of his sleeve.

"If they want to fight the Demon Race, let them. What does it have to do with us? Why must they borrow *our* Blood Dragon Armor? I’d say they’re probably using the Demon Race as an excuse to covet our Clan Treasure!"

The Great Elder snorted sarcastically.

"What did you say? Covet our Clan Treasure? Uncle Nie Xiaotian is a Qi Sect Powerhouse! If he really coveted this treasure, he could just charge in here and take it by force. Which one of you would be his match?" Yangg Yan couldn’t believe how shameless the Great Elder was, and he trembled with anger.

"Who knows about that! You never know what’s truly in a person’s heart. If someone’s going to fight the Demon Race, you, the Clan Leader, should be the one to go! Don’t drag us into it. And another thing—lending out the Blood Dragon Armor is absolutely impossible!" the Second Elder also huffed.

"Heh, you shrink back from fighting the Demon Race, yet you feel no shame making cynical remarks from the sidelines. Great Elder and Second Elder of the Yangg Family, you two have really impressed me, Nie Yun."

Just then, a calm voice sounded from outside the hall. A faint smile on his face, Nie Yun walked in.

"Insolence! This is the Yangg Family’s Council Hall! It’s not your place to come in here and boss people around! Hmph, you’re Nie Yun, is that right? To reach the Peak of Gang Formation Realm at your age means you have some connections. However, there’s still a vast gap between the Peak of Gang Formation Realm and the Armor Realm. If it weren’t for the respect I’m showing your father, Nie Xiaotian, I would teach you the punishment for trespassing in another family’s Council Hall!"

The Great Elder flicked his sleeve, revealing his Mid-Stage Armor Realm strength with a look of pure arrogance.

Nie Yun hadn’t revealed his Cultivation, but a few days ago, he had fought and killed many elders from the Four Great Families, demonstrating power at the Peak of Gang Formation Realm. While that level of strength wasn’t weak, in the eyes of a Mid-Stage Armor Realm expert like the Great Elder, it was still insignificant.

"Barging in here without being announced... I now suspect you of having ulterior motives. Get out right now, write a formal request for a visit, and apologize. If you do, perhaps I’ll let it slide. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson today, and not even the City Lord’s Mansion will be able to say a thing!"

The Second Elder let out a sinister chuckle and took a step forward. His Early-Stage Armor Realm power surged out wildly, as if he would dare to strike the moment Nie Yun refused his demand.

PS: Still asking for votes! It’s the same old plea—everyone, please cast your Sanjiang votes! Don’t let us fail so badly and look so pathetic, boohoo. We have over 5,000 bookmarks; if even a tenth of you voted, we’d have over 500 votes. But right now, we don’t even have 50, which is just terrible!

I work so hard to write every day, and each Chapter takes one or two hours, all for the sake of getting your approval. I hope you can all take pity on this old Lao Ya, boohoo. After all, I’m not young anymore, I have a kid, and I need your help and support!

Your help is the only thing that motivates me to write like crazy so I can support my family. It allows me to pour more energy into writing more Chapters to repay you all!

Thank you so much!
