Chapter 29: The Enforcement Team Arrives

"Originally, I thought it would take a week, but I didn't expect to reach the first level of the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique in less than three days!"

With a whoosh, Nie Yun jumped out of the wooden tub in his room.

After talking with his father, he returned to his room and used pure dan fire to refine the prepared herbs, including the Lotus Root Flower, into a medicinal liquid, which he poured into the tub.

Refining medicinal pills is very complex, but refining medicinal liquid is much simpler. In less than ten minutes, the large tub was filled with a green, fragrant medicinal liquid. Just by the smell, one could feel their blood circulation quicken and their muscles tremble with excitement.

Entering the tub and circulating the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique, he originally thought that soaking in the Lotus Root Flower medicinal liquid would take a week to reach the first level, but he succeeded in less than three days!

Although he had practiced once before, avoiding many detours, Nie Yun still felt that his rapid success with the first level of the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique was related to the unnamed technique!

When the unnamed technique first awakened in his body, it refined his physical body, coinciding with many effects of the first level of the Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique!

"The Lingxi Body Cultivation Technique has reached the first level, and the Ninefold Nirvana Art has also made progress. Although it hasn't reached the middle stage of the fourth level, it's not far off!"

For Qi Sea cultivators, each level is harder than the last, like climbing the nine layers of the sky. Nie Yun had only been at the fourth level for less than three days and was already approaching the middle stage. If this news got out, it would surely shock everyone!

"Once the Ninefold Nirvana Art reaches the peak of the fourth level of the Qi Sea, the first Nirvana will likely occur. I wonder how much my strength will increase after the first Nirvana!"

The Ninefold Nirvana Art was obtained from an ancient ruin, and its exact level is not detailed in the technique. The so-called 'Imperial Upper Rank' was a designation he made on a whim!

Why did he choose this level? Because he had seen many Imperial Lower Rank techniques, and none of them could compare!

This technique not only accelerates cultivation speed but is more importantly about the Ninefold Nirvana!

As the name suggests, the Ninefold Nirvana means experiencing nine transformations like a phoenix reborn from the ashes. Each transformation is like a caterpillar turning into a butterfly, bringing a qualitative leap in strength, essence, energy, and spirit!

In his previous life, he knew very clearly that if he continued to cultivate, he would face the first Nirvana when he reached the peak of the fourth level of the Qi Sea.

Although the Nirvana transformation greatly enhances strength, it is also extremely dangerous. A slight mistake could lead to a mental breakdown. Even in his past life, he only experienced six transformations and dared not attempt the seventh.

"Although I haven't eaten or slept for three days, my spirit and physical strength haven't been affected at all. Now that my cultivation is complete, it's time to go out and take a look."

Thinking about how he hadn't slept a single day since his rebirth, Nie Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head.

With his current strength, it's impossible to go without food or sleep, but the branch is fraught with danger, and he must quickly enhance his strength.

"Master, the family enforcement team is here to see you! They want you to go to the living room!"

Just as he was about to change his clothes and leave, he heard the voice of the steward, Nie Chong, outside.

"Enforcement team? It seems they're faster than I expected!"

Hearing that they had found him, Nie Yun was not surprised but instead smiled faintly.

Beating Nie Chao to the point of unconsciousness, even though he forced Nie Chaoxing to deny it with the Zi Wu Bone Grinding Technique, the matter couldn't be hidden for long. He thought it would take ten to fifteen days, but they found him in just four days.

The living room was in the center of the branch. Following Nie Chong, he soon arrived at the hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, Nie Yun's eyes immediately narrowed.

In the center of the hall, two young men were seated in the main positions, with several enforcement team members below them, and his mother at the farthest guest position.

This was the living room of the Nie Tian branch, and only the head of the family had the right to sit in the main position. Even if someone of high status came to visit, they could only sit in the guest position. These people sitting in the main position and making his mother sit in the farthest guest position clearly intended to intimidate him.

"Are you Nie Yun? We need to investigate Nie Chao's injury. Follow us quickly, or you'll be in trouble!"

As soon as he entered the room, one of the young men stood up and shouted loudly.

"The enforcement team needs a hand order from the family elders to enforce the law. My son hasn't committed any crime, and even if he did, as the successor of the Luoshui Golden Shield, you have no right to speak to him like this!"

Before Nie Yun could respond, his mother, Nie Ling, was already furious, standing up and flicking her sleeve.

The Luoshui Golden Shield is similar to the yellow vests of some imperial dynasties, both a symbol of honor and a protective charm. As the sole successor of the Golden Shield, the enforcement team should have held an elder's punishment order and invited him politely, only resorting to force after confirming the evidence. Speaking like this upon meeting was too arrogant!

"Ridiculous!" The young man immediately roared, extremely arrogant: "How we do our job is none of your business, you lowly woman! Hmph, I bet you're an accomplice. We'll take you with us to the enforcement team. If you confess, it might be better for you, but if not, we have at least ten thousand ways to make you wish you were dead!"

"Wish you were dead? Who are you making wish they were dead?"

A dragon has its scales, and family is Nie Yun's Achilles' heel!

In his previous life, he couldn't protect his family, and their departures became lifelong regrets. In this life, reborn, Nie Yun cherished this family bond. Hearing this young man insult his mother, he immediately turned grim.

"Of course, it's the one who talks nonsense, who is it? Are you daring to question the decision of the enforcement team and defy the family's orders? You and that lowly woman should kneel and admit your faults immediately, or you'll have no place to bury your bodies!"

The young man laughed coldly, a cruel look in his eyes.

"Who are you calling a lowly woman?" Nie Yun's lungs almost burst.

"Of course, it's Nie Ling, your mother..."

The young man pointed at his mother, but before he could finish, he suddenly felt a pain in his finger. "Crack! Crack!" Two crisp sounds, and his entire hand and fingers turned to powder.

"Ah..." The young man screamed in pain. When he saw that it was this young man who had attacked him, he couldn't help but shout, "You dared to attack me! You are a heinous criminal! Not only will you die, but everyone in your branch will die..."

"Heinous criminal? Everyone will die? Haha, you should take care of yourself first!"

Ignoring his nonsense, Nie Yun pressed his palm down, and the young man, who was roaring, immediately fell silent, landing on the ground like a flattened toad.

Silence!

The entire hall fell silent!

The enforcement team members were always extremely arrogant in any branch, used to seeing others bow and submit. They never expected this young man to dare to attack openly. Everyone was stunned, feeling the world had turned upside down and was about to go mad.

"Good, good, I've already recorded what just happened using a special method. Nie Yun, you dared to attack an enforcement team member. Even without the Nie Chao incident, you are guilty today!"

Nie Liao, seated in the main position, didn't look at the young man lying on the ground, but stood up and smiled faintly at the young man in front of him.

"Guilty? Haha, Deputy Captain Nie Liao, I don't like the sound of that. By the way, I have a question for you!"

Nie Yun recognized this person and no longer looked fierce. He suddenly smiled faintly and asked in a gentle tone, "Is your mother a lowly woman, a whore? Has her business been good lately? How many men does she see in a day?"
