Experiencing the Body

"Dan Jin!"

"Another Dan Jin!?"

As Li Pin and Wang Daoyi clashed, the Black Market Guardian, Qi Dongyuan, and the others felt a tremor in their hearts.

That young man…

He had actually cultivated Dan Jin!

Wang Daoyi's luck was truly terrible, choosing to make an example of someone who had cultivated Dan Jin?

But upon closer thought, it was reasonable.

The other party dared to follow them alone to spectate, meaning they were either…

A greenhorn who knew no fear.

Or someone with absolute confidence in their own strength.

Before they could even laugh at Wang Daoyi's bad luck for encountering the latter, the young Dan Jin's renewed confrontation with him sent everyone's spirits soaring once more.

In an instant, the clash of three Dan Jin attacks was like lightning and fire, vividly portraying the perilous life-and-death struggle of a Martial Artist.

Swift as a rabbit, sudden as a falcon!

With one mistake, the young Dan Jin seized the opportunity and delivered a fatal blow, ending the battle!

The entire process was seamless, without the slightest pause or hesitation from either combatant.

Every move, every stance, erupted with the strongest state they could muster, unleashing their most potent power, pushing Dan Jin and Embrace Dan to their limits.

This was not merely a contest of physique and Qi and Blood, but a clash of spirit and will!

Had it been anyone else, with even a sliver of hesitation, fear, or retreat in their hearts…

They would have died far quicker than Wang Daoyi.

Unfortunately…

Wang Daoyi was strong, but the young Dan Jin was stronger!

The moment Wang Daoyi's body slammed heavily onto the ground, the sound of the impact was like a colossal hammer, striking the hearts of the more than ten people present, causing each of them to tremble.

"So strong! This Dan Jin…"

Qi Dongyuan, a Dan Jin himself, saw his pupils contract sharply.

He had a feeling that if he were to face this young man…

His outcome would be no different from Wang Daoyi's.

Let alone him, even the Black Market Guardian who had Embraced Qi into Dan felt his eyelids twitch violently.

He was a seasoned Embrace Dan Martial Master, yet if he had to face Wang Daoyi, who was injured but still capable of fighting, he wasn't confident he could do any better than this young Dan Jin.

"Canglong City, when did such a powerhouse emerge!? And judging by his voice… he's still very young!"

Furthermore, he was somewhat puzzled. "His physique is slightly inferior to Wang Daoyi's, so using direct confrontation to aggravate Wang Daoyi's internal injuries was indeed the correct tactic! But… he hasn't Embraced Dan, so why could he unleash three Dan Jin attacks in a row!? Can his body withstand such an outburst!?"

Gazing at the man standing still, he was filled with questions.

"Embrace Dan."

Li Pin stood in place, quietly sensing the collision of Dan Jin against Dan Jin during his fight with Wang Daoyi.

And the sensation of stimulation and pain as the Dan Jin permeated his skin and pressed against his bones during the intense vibrations of their clashing attacks.

That feeling…

Made him feel as if his entire being had come alive.

Often, people's senses are limited to the larger parts of their bodies—torso, limbs, head, and so on.

But after the Dan Jin penetrated his body, he not only felt the presence of his muscles and meridians but could also clearly feel the stimulating pain emanating from within his bones. It was the feedback from damage to the periosteum, bone tissue, and bone marrow.

This feedback…

Made him acutely aware of the existence of these parts, and they greeted him with an overwhelming enthusiasm.

He couldn't help but let out a heartfelt sigh in response.

"Pain."

It was precisely because of this pain that he knew he wasn't just a "pilot" of a mechanical body.

He and his body were an inseparable whole.

"This is good."

Li Pin murmured to himself.

It was like a massage.

Although the process was a bit painful, it felt truly comfortable afterward.

After a while, Li Pin slightly moved his swollen arm, feeling a burning heat, and only then did he contentedly pull himself back from the sensory experience of his Dan Jin vibrating, colliding, and tearing within himself.

He didn't bother maintaining any semblance of a master's demeanor.

He began searching Wang Daoyi's corpse.

Before long, he found two small booklets, a data disk, and several large denomination Gold Yuan.

He didn't stand on ceremony and pocketed the items. Then, his gaze shifted to the Five Elements Sect, the Black Market Guardian, and the eight Martial Artists.

As his gaze swept over them, the eight Martial Artists, including three burly men among them, tensed simultaneously.

Without daring to linger, they quickly left with their seven companions.

From the Black Market's side, the Embrace Dan Martial Artist smiled faintly, "Will you be handling these corpses?"

"No need to trouble you, Mr. Yi. They are all our Five Elements Sect members; we need to take them back."

Qi Dongyuan said, suppressing his injuries.

The Embrace Dan Martial Artist, known as Mr. Yi, nodded. He cupped his hands towards Li Pin, signaling he meant no harm, and then left with the other two.

"Thirty million?"

Li Pin stated.

"Of course."

Qi Dongyuan's heart skipped a beat.

Having witnessed Li Pin's ferocity, they didn't dare renege on the payment. They quickly said, "Please provide a contact method or account number, sir."

Li Pin recited an account number.

After hearing it, Qi Dongyuan said solemnly, "Please rest assured, sir, we will deliver it soon."

"I believe in the Five Elements Sect's reputation."

Li Pin said, then turned and left.

After Li Pin departed, the few Embrace Strength Martial Artists who had scattered and fled earlier rushed over.

Gazing at the corpses on the ground, their faces were filled with grief.

"Let's take them back to the sect first."

Qi Dongyuan sighed.

At dawn.

The Five Elements Sect was shrouded in a somber atmosphere.

At this time, not only had other experts from the Five Elements Sect arrived, but even Cao Tianyou and Zhao Yuan, who were far away in the capital, had rushed to Canglong City.

"Scum! Utter scum!"

Zhao Yuan, his expression filled with rage, vented his anger on Wang Daoyi's corpse.

Cao Tianyou, an elderly Gang Refining Grandmaster, sat beside Cao Zuoqiu's corpse. Uncontrollable grief welled up in his eyes. The sixty-six-year-old man now appeared even more aged.

Cao Zuoqiu was Cao Tianyou's son. Although not his only son, he was the only one who had inherited his mantle and cultivated to the Embrace Dan realm.

His death...

Undoubtedly broke the spirit of Grandmaster Cao Tianyou.

"Sect Master..."

Qi Dongyuan, having slightly recovered, looked at Cao Tianyou, whose spirit had been crushed, and advised, "The dead cannot be brought back to life. Please accept my condolences..."

"I never imagined that I, Cao Tianyou, would one day have to bury my own son..."

Cao Tianyou said dejectedly. Finally, he withdrew his gaze from Cao Zuoqiu. "Prepare the coffin."

Immediately, disciples began making arrangements.

Other children also helped support Cao Tianyou to another room.

"Have you found out?"

"We have people in the bank; we found out he provided a real, registered account."

Qi Dongyuan handed over a document.

Cao Tianyou glanced at it, his gaze lingering for a moment on "Changfeng Martial Hall," his place of origin, and his age of "twenty-two."

"Truly... formidable youth."

After a long while, he said, "Transfer the money as soon as possible."

He then let out a long sigh. "The Five Elements Sect cannot withstand any more turmoil."
