Chapter 36

The more he understood, the more Wei Changfeng admired the high-ranking expert who had created the Tungri Danyang Technique. If his guess was correct, the true author of this technique, who had written it by hand, was a master with profound expertise in alchemy and martial arts, undoubtedly a genius of the highest caliber!

This unknown expert was not the original author of the Tianjun Sword Technique, the Free and Easy Hermit, as the handwriting, strength, and style were vastly different.

As for why the Tungri Danyang Technique was written at the back of a sword manual, it would forever remain a mystery.

Wei Changfeng put down the sword manual, closed his eyes, and in his mind, he re-enacted the technique, using the principles of the Tai Xu Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra. His thoughts flowed smoothly, encountering no obstacles!

A sneer involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Liang Wu had somehow obtained the Tianjun Sword Technique and, no doubt, had also seen the value in the Tungri Danyang Technique, wanting to practice it. That was why he had led people to capture the demon beasts that matched his innate constitution, only to end up benefiting Wei Changfeng instead.

However, even if Liang Wu obtained the white python's inner core and practiced the Tungri Danyang Technique, it would certainly lead to his death!

Wei Changfeng had to thank Liang Wu for providing him with this great opportunity!

He took out a box of intermediate-grade Qi Nourishing Pills given to him by Dongfang Lingtian and swallowed one.

The pill quickly dissolved in his stomach, and the powerful medicinal energy surged through his martial veins into his limbs and bones. Wei Changfeng immediately began to circulate his true qi, controlling and absorbing the medicinal energy to transform it into qi in his dantian.

The Qi Nourishing Pill is a second-grade pill, most suitable for martial artists in the Body Tempering stage, accelerating the enhancement of their strength and breaking through bottlenecks.

A box of nine intermediate-grade Qi Nourishing Pills was quite valuable, and Dongfang Lingtian had invested a significant amount in Wei Changfeng.

It took him a full half an hour to completely absorb and refine the medicinal energy of the pill. His qi sea and dantian felt full, and his martial veins pulsed strongly with his heartbeat.

This was a sign that the medicinal energy had reached its peak. Seizing the opportunity, Wei Changfeng swallowed the Fire Nian inner core!

The inner core of the demon beast dissipated even faster and more violently than the pill, the yang fire and malevolent energy surging like a flood breaking through a dam, wreaking havoc inside Wei Changfeng's body.

This was the most dangerous step in practicing the Tungri Danyang Technique, as even innate experts dared not swallow demon cores raw, for fear of being overwhelmed by the spiritual energy and dying.

At that moment, Wei Changfeng felt as if he had swallowed a ball of extreme heat, his internal organs burning, and his muscles and bones being incinerated to ashes!

This feeling was indescribable, the pain unbearable, making him want to tear open his chest and dig out his heart, lungs, liver, and gallbladder!

The Fire Nian was a fire-type demon beast, and the yang fire and malevolent energy in its core were extremely intense. If not promptly controlled, it would be enough to kill Wei Changfeng in a few breaths.

At this critical moment, Wei Changfeng's extraordinary willpower came into play.

He was not overwhelmed by the pain and instantly discarded any thoughts of regret, focusing all his efforts on controlling the dantian and using the Tungri Danyang Technique to firmly control the violent yang energy inside his body.

It was like a weak child trying to put a bloodthirsty beast in chains, a slight mistake could result in being devoured whole!

After a brief struggle, the true qi in Wei Changfeng's body, which had been abundant, was rapidly depleted, showing signs of exhaustion.

Without hesitation, he reached out and swallowed the second Qi Nourishing Pill, followed by the third and fourth...

The intense conflict of the two different energies caused Wei Changfeng's body to swell and deform, his muscles twitching involuntarily, and his bones grinding together with a "crack."

His face was contorted with extreme pain, and blood seeped from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth!

However, Wei Changfeng's will remained clear. His spirit seemed to separate from his body, and the 237 characters of the Tungri Danyang Technique floated and faded in his mind.

Using his body as a furnace and true qi as fire!

Under Wei Changfeng's control, the violent yang fire and malevolent energy continuously poured into his qi sea and dantian, forming a swirling vortex of qi in an instant, with a point of red fire flickering at its core.

After an unknown amount of time, the yang fire and malevolent energy in Wei Changfeng's body gradually calmed down, and all the pain receded like a tide.

In his qi sea and dantian, a small red bead had appeared.

A pseudo-dan!

Success!

Wei Changfeng couldn't help but want to roar, his joy indescribable.

The pseudo-dan, no larger than a pearl, had countless fine threads of fire surrounding it.

These threads of fire spread in all directions, densely covering the entire qi sea, completely merging with the true qi Wei Changfeng had cultivated.

But he could clearly feel the immense power contained within the bead!

With its existence, Wei Changfeng now had the confidence to face the life-and-death battle in a little over half a month!

It was not yet time to relax.

He took a deep breath and then activated the Tai Xu Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra, refining the remaining yang fire and malevolent energy in his body, using it to enhance his dantian qi.

After half a moment, a ball of dan fire formed in his lower dantian!

The first level of the Tai Xu Nine Heavens True Yang Heart Sutra had been broken through so smoothly.

In fact, Wei Changfeng had already been very close to restoring the first level of the Tai Xu Heart Sutra. Now, with the help of refining the yang fire and malevolent energy, breaking through was a natural progression.

However, it was still a double joy, as he had successfully condensed and ignited the dan fire. Without needing to rely on earth fire, Wei Changfeng could now use a dan ding to refine pills, truly having the means to make a living.

He was extremely satisfied, as today's gains were truly significant!

At this moment, Wei Changfeng realized that the entire box of nine intermediate-grade Qi Nourishing Pills had been used up, and his body felt greasy and uncomfortable.

Refining the demon core not only gave him a pseudo-dan but also made him undergo a process similar to cleansing and purifying his body. Many impurities and even toxins in his body had mixed with his blood and seeped out through his skin pores.

This made Wei Changfeng feel as if he had just crawled out of a mud pit, emitting a foul odor.

He quickly sneaked to the woodshed, took off his dirty clothes, and took another bath with the still warm Longhu Soup.

After returning, Wei Changfeng did not continue practicing. He lay down on the bed and soon fell into a deep sleep.

That night, he slept exceptionally well, without a single dream.

...

The next morning, Wei Changfeng was awakened by the chirping of his two younger sisters.

"Why did you come over? Aren't you going to school?"

He opened his sleepy eyes and pinched the little face of Wei Xiaoying, who was standing by the bed.

She pouted and said, "Brother, get up quickly! Mother called for you!"

"What's the matter?"

Wei Changfeng was fully awake.

Wei Xiaoyu, standing beside her, chirped, "Someone came to look for you, um, three people!"

Who would come to look for him so early in the morning?

Wei Changfeng's heart stirred, and he immediately got up, put on his outer clothes, and walked out.

The guests were in the small hall, accompanied by Murong Wan. One of the black-faced big men saw Wei Changfeng and immediately knelt down, bowing and saying, "Tieyi pays respects to my benefactor!"

The beautiful young woman who came with the black-faced man also bowed gracefully.

"I can't accept such formalities, Brother Tie, no need for so much ceremony!" Wei Changfeng immediately reached out to help him up.

He recognized the man as Lao Tie, the hunter he had once saved. He immediately helped him up.

The beautiful young woman was naturally Lao Tie's wife, Jingniang, who was holding a five- or six-year-old girl, who shyly hid behind Jingniang, secretly observing Wei Changfeng.

Wei Changfeng found it interesting and asked, only to learn that the little girl was Tieyi and Jingniang's only daughter, Tixinlan, who was only five years old.

"How did you find my home?"

After sitting down again, Wei Changfeng couldn't help but ask curiously.

Tieyi quickly explained, "I asked the people at Jingyun Martial Academy, as I was once a disciple there. Then I asked the neighbors and found out that you live here."

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Don't call me benefactor, it sounds too awkward. Just call me Junior Brother Wei."

Tieyi, who had once studied martial arts at Jingyun Martial Academy, was quite normal, as the academy had no restrictions on admitting disciples. As long as the tuition was paid, anyone could become a junior disciple.

"Junior Brother Wei..."

Tieyi scratched his head awkwardly and pointed to a large package on the table. "I wanted to visit you earlier, but I didn't... I had good luck two days ago and caught a fierce tiger."

"This tiger skin was just made today, a small token of my gratitude. Please accept it, Junior Brother!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "Brother Tie, you're too polite. Healing people is just a small act of kindness. You don't need to remember it so much. You should take the tiger skin back!"

He could see that Tieyi and his wife were not in good financial condition, and the medical expenses must have been high.

Although a tiger skin was not very valuable, the silver it could fetch would be enough to solve their basic needs.

Most importantly, Wei Changfeng did not lack money now.

"This won't do, this can't be!" Tieyi shook his head. "I..."

Wei Changfeng said, "If you want to repay me, I might have something that needs your help."

Tieyi was taken aback and then patted his chest, saying, "Junior Brother Wei, just say it. Even if you ask me to climb a mountain of knives or dive into a sea of fire, I won't flinch!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "It's not that serious. I'll find you when the time comes."

He insisted on not taking the tiger skin, noted down Tieyi's address, and then, together with Murong Wan, sent off the grateful Tieyi and his wife.

This delay made Wei Changfeng return to the martial academy's library a bit late.
