Cultivating

"Alright, you just finished breaking through and need to stabilize your cultivation realm. I also need to cultivate for a while. Before that though I have to let you know how good my hunt was. I got not one, but four carcasses of demonic beasts."

With that said Shen Yu cheered and said " I knew you were the strongest. No demonic beast is a match for you."

Yun Tian let go of Shen Yu and said with a smile "Yes I am the strongest and will always protect you, but for now let's cultivate for a while." Shen Yu agreed with her own cute expression to what he said and quickly sat down in a meditative posture to cultivate.

He stared at her for a while thinking 'It should be fine if she finds out that I can absorb the energy from demonic beast cores, but I am still not going to go out of my way to tell her. I won't exactly hide it from her either. I will however hide how I killed that man from her. I don't want to worry her.'

He then sat down and took out the same demonic beast core he got from the snake and started absorbing the energy from it again. While absorbing the qi he noticed that while it did contain a large amount of qi the more noticeable thing was how his body was getting much stronger. This made slight sense to him though, since demonic beasts focused on their bodies more than anything else.

He absorbed the energy for around an hour and then the core shattered and turned to dust with all of its energy drained. He felt himself much more full of qi than before and his qi was much stronger too. All of the exhaustion from the prior battles were gone.

He thought to himself 'This is definitely the best way for me to cultivate. I can absorb the cores and sell the rest of the parts for pills to cultivate with as well. I just don't know why I can absorb the qi from the demonic beast cores or if there will be any side effects. Just in case I should try to cultivate with pills just as much as I do with the cores.'

After he finished with the core he thought about his future plans. 'I now have a way to get stronger fast. Others will have to take a while to absorb the energy from qi gathering pills, but I can absorb the energy from them much faster and I can even absorb qi from demonic beast cores. The only downside is that it seems like I will require a much larger amount of qi to advance through the realms than others.'

'On second thought though this downside doesn't even seem to be that large. I am already stronger than others in the same realm as me. Add my higher talent that allowed me to gain high comprehension in my skills and I can even challenge those in higher realms. Also the demonic beast cores seem to be strengthening my body even further, so if I keep on absorbing the qi from them who knows how strong my body can get.'

'All of this added up gives me a great advantage over others. If I keep up on this path it won't be long before I can get my revenge. Though since the clan didn't even want to try and get revenge that means that the clan who killed Mom and Dad must have someone in their ranks that is in the realm above the dantian building since my grandfather is in the peak of dantian building. That is the only reason they would tolerate someone in the clan dying. Either the killer is very strong or the clan backing them is very strong.'

'No matter what, everything depends on my strength in the end so for now I should just get as strong as possible then decide what to do.'

As Yun Tian was finishing his thoughts he saw Shen Yu was finishing up her cultivation. When she opened her eyes and looked at him, Yun Tian said "Let's head back into town for now so I can sell the demonic beast materials for qi gathering pills for cultivation. It's getting dark anyway so we can spend the night at an inn in town. We won't have to spend the night out here."

"Okay then let's go I'll follow right behind you."

So they left the cave and started on the way back to town. On the way back Shen Yu noticed that he had gained a deeper comprehension into his movement technique and congratulated him. He then gave her some advice on how to better use the skill herself.

Since Shen Yu had broken through a layer they made it back to town much faster than when they left and Shen Yu went to rent a room at an inn while Yun Tian went to the best store in town that buys and sells things, the spirit market.

He had been here before, but just to sell materials from wild beasts. He was slightly nervous about what they would think about him selling the materials of demonic beasts without their cores, but he hoped they wouldn't care too much.

The building had three floors. The first was for business with meridian opening realm experts and the second was for experts at the dantian opening stage. The third was for the manager of the building and for VIPs. The building was large and looked very fancy. There were attendants waiting to help people at the door to find what they needed, since they sold many things. They sold almost everything a cultivator could need including spirit artifacts, skills, and pills.

Since they had seen him many times before, the attendants were not surprised when they saw a young and handsome teen come in with a bag of materials from beasts on his back. One of the attendants, a beautiful girl in her twenties with only a weak cultivation came up to him and was about to lead him to the counter where they buy the materials for wild beasts when he said.

"Sorry Ren Qing, this time I need to go to the second floor." He knew the names of a lot of the people who worked here by now including this attendant.

Even though no one was surprised when he came in, when they heard what he said everyone nearly fell over.

The attendant Ren Qing even cried out "You broke through!?"

Rumors always spread so it was common knowledge to most that there had been a heavenly talent in the Yun clan, but the talent could not break through into dantian building. That was why no one cared about Yun Tian. Now that he broke through, with his talent he had shown before it was enough to make people nervous about how strong he could grow.

Yun Tian himself was also just realizing this himself. 'Shit, now everyone will know that I have broken through. I hope no problems come from this.'
