Chapter 106: Overflowing True Qi.

Edited by: Mochiusagi 

The Evil Calamity and the turmoil in the Great Wilderness Province, as well as the battle in Ningshan City, were not within Shen Changqing's foresight.

He simply went about and visited all of the places in the city where there may be monsters hiding during the night.

The reward for his efforts was that he managed to kill four monsters and gained a lot of Killing Value.

When he returned to Tianyi Lou, Shen Changqing didn't take the usual way. Instead, he jumped in through the room's open window.

After closing the window, Shen Changqing sat on the stool. He then took out the Satiety Pills, the Qi and Blood Pills that he carried, then placed them neatly on the table.

His mind moved and he looked at the panel.

___________________________

Name: Shen Changqing

Faction: Great Qin Demon Suppression Division

Status: Yellow Rank Official Slayer

Martial Arts: Impregnable Golden Body (Level 7, can be upgraded), Heavenly Martial Astral Qi (Level 15, can be upgraded), Hundred Battles Sword Technique (Level 3), Iron Sand Palm (Level 5, can be fused), Heaven Capturing Astral Steps (Level 5, can be fused), Splitting Mountain Palm Technique (not yet activated, can be fused), Willow Wool Body Technique (not yet activated, can be fused)

Killing Value: 47

___________________________

Not counting the original two points of Killing Value, the four monsters contributed a total of 45 points.

Making the average for killing one monster about 11 or 12 points.

With this, Shen Changqing was satisfied.

A monster at the peak of the Ghost Level and about to break through to the Grudge Level, only contributed about 15 points of Killing Value.

The monsters hidden in Jin City were not strong.

But four of them gave him 45 Killing Value points, which was already very good. Several small things, when added together, would become significant after all.

“45 points is enough for my strength to improve a lot. Should I take this opportunity to directly step into the Grandmaster Realm?”

Shen Changqing thought to himself.

The Grandmaster Realm was his current major goal. If he currently breaks through to it, his strength would definitely increase greatly.

""

Fury Level monsters could only be dealt with by Guardians, while a Grandmaster could sweep a city full of monsters.

Not wasting any more time, Shen Changqing first swallowed a few Satiety Pills to make sure his body contained enough energy, before he began to upgrade the [Impregnable Golden Body].

Internal Strength might be the main path to progress, but the body was still indispensable, as it would supplement Qi and blood.

8 points of Killing Value were consumed.

In an instant, the satiety pills that Shen Changqing ate were completely consumed, and a strong sense of hunger surged into his belly. It then forced him to eat a few more pills to balance out the consumption.

As the pills fell into his stomach, it was digested in less than a second.

The consumption this time around was much stronger than the breakthrough to Level 7.

In the process of breaking through, Shen Changqing had consumed two bottles of Satiety Pills, before he was finally able to balance the consumption.

At this time, he felt a sudden itching sensation from his body. Soon, dead skin began falling off his body, and the new skin became tougher than ever.

[Boom~]!

His Qi and blood flowed vigorously, like a river.

The [Impregnable Golden Body] not only made the defense of his body stronger, it also made his Qi and blood flourish.

Level 8 of the [Impregnable Golden Body] could be regarded as a further transformation of Shen Changqing's Qi and blood.

Now, he felt an inexhaustible amount of power in his body.

“The [Impregnable Golden Body] Level 8!”

Shen Changqing opened his eyes, feeling the power of Qi and blood in his body, with a faint smile on his face.

But he also knew that the feeling was just an illusion, brought about by the breakthrough.

The [Impregnable Golden Body] Level 8 was still far from the point where his Qi and blood was really inexhaustible.

“I still have 37 points left, let's continue…”

Shen Changqing then started a new round of upgrades.

If it was in the past, with the current consumption of the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi], the Qi and blood brought by the upgrade of his External Martial Art wouldn't be able to offset its consumption.

But it's different now.

The [Impregnable Golden Body] was of a higher rank. The improvement of each level brought a lot of Qi and blood.

Although it couldn't completely offset the consumption of the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi], it could maintain it.

""

After eating a few Qi and Blood Pills, Shen Changqing's attention fell on the [Heavenly Martial Astral Qi]. 

“Upgrade!”

His Killing Value then dropped sharply from 37 to 21.

Simultaneously, a force that drew Qi and blood rose from his dantian. All of the Qi and blood in his flesh was decaying at a rapid speed at this moment.

In less than one breath, the Qi and Blood Pills he ate had been exhausted.

“So fast!”

Shen Changqing took a deep breath, took out a new bottle, and ate the entire bottle of pills.

The pills were also consumed by the suction.

Around ten breaths later, the power of the pills were exhausted, and a sense of weakness flooded Shen Changqing.

So he ate another bottle of pills.

Each bottle of pill could only support about ten breaths before Shen Changqing had to eat more.

Dozens of breaths passed by.

It could also be hundreds of breaths.

But gradually, the suction in his dantian disappeared. Instead, it was replaced by an almost full True Qi.

It then broke through his dantian and rushed towards the meridians in his body.

With the meridians opened up, after the True Qi's power was exhausted, new True Qi poured out from the opened meridians and re-entered his dantian.

So far, the liquefied True Qi in Shen Changqing's dantian had reached a state of complete overflow.

That feeling made Shen Changqing feel bloated and uncomfortable.

After inspecting his body, his expression did not look so good.

“My dantian is full”

Yes!

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

When he looked just now, Shen Changqing could clearly see that the liquefied True Qi in his dantian had completely filled the space. It even threatened to break through his dantian.

He felt like he was being stretched to the limit.

Before this, Shen Changqing never thought that the day would come where his dantian would be filled with True Qi. But now that the facts were in front of him, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

“If I forcibly increase the True Qi right now, it would very likely break through my dantian.” 

“My True Qi probably isn't even comparable to a Grandmaster, so how can it reach this point?”

He frowned. The Grandmaster realm was definitely not the pinnacle of Cultivation.

There's still Earth Rank, Heaven Rank and Guardians.

That being the case, there should be no reason for him to reach the limit so quickly.

“Did I miss something?”

Shen Changqing's mind turned frantically, recalling all of the Cultivation knowledge he had read. He wanted to see if he had forgotten anything.

After a while, his thoughts gradually calmed down.

Unfortunately, Shen Changqing couldn't find anything about the situation where the dantian would be filled with True Qi.

If he was in the Demon Suppression Division, he could ask others for advice.

But here…

“Could it be that I have to further compress the True Qi?”

Shen Changqing thought of this and couldn't help, but try it. He wanted to use his mind to control the liquefied True Qi and started further compression.

However, as soon as his thoughts moved, a burst of pain came from his dantian.

It was the feeling of his dantian about to burst.

With this, he gave up the plan of compressing the True Qi. 

“The liquefied True Qi can not be compressed. The dantian is also too fragile. If I forcibly compress it, the True Qi will not be compressed, but rather be squeezed out.”

Shen Changqing frowned.

What happened in his body was completely beyond his expectations.

Glancing at the remaining Killing Value, Shen Changqing decided to stop thinking about True Qi for the time being. Instead, he began to upgrade his [Impregnable Golden Body]. 

He'll ask for advice when he returns to the Demon Suppression Division.

Shen Changqing didn't believe that there was no one in the Demon Suppression Division who had faced this problem before.

After making a decision, Shen Changqing started to upgrade the [Impregnable Golden Body].

Simultaneously, Shen Changqing kept eating Satiety Pills to maintain the consumption.

Soon, the upgrade was completed. Surprisingly, the swelling in his dantian had subsided significantly! 

“Huh?”

This change instantly caught Shen Changqing's attention.

He checked himself again.

He saw that in the range of his perception, the liquefied True Qi in the dantian was still full, but it was no longer threatening to overflow at any given time.

Had his True Qi decreased?

However, just as Shen Changqing thought of this idea in his mind, he instantly rejected it.

No.

It's not that the True Qi had decreased, but the capacity of his dantian had increased.

“The capacity of my dantian has become larger. That is to say, the improvement of External Martial Arts can actually expand the capacity of the dantian.”

Shen Changqing was a little excited about this discovery.

In the past, he didn't pay attention to how the external Martial Arts affected his dantian. Instead, he focused all of his attention on Qi and blood, as well as his body's defense.

It was just that at that time, his True Qi had not reached the state of overflowing. So even if his dantian expanded, he didn't feel it that much.

But it was different now.

With his dantian being full, any changes would become as bright as day.

“So as long as I continue to improve the [Impregnable Golden Body] and expand my dantian, I should be able to accommodate more True Qi.”

He had always thought that Cultivators would mainly focus on Internal Strength and would not necessarily waste time training their bodies.

But now, it seemed that he was blind.

Thinking about it now, if Grandmasters did not have a strong physique, there would be no way for them to hold that much True Qi.

“Hah!”

With a long breath, Shen Changqing calmed his mind. Finally, he looked at his remaining Killing Value…
