Someone Is Looking for You

Thinking of this, Nie Yun continued onward while sinking his consciousness into the four dantians he had just opened.

These four dantians were no different from any others. He could not make out any attributes at all. After examining them for a while and finding nothing unusual, Nie Yun shook his head helplessly.

"Looks like I have no talent for beast taming..."

He casually sighed and was about to withdraw his consciousness from his sea of qi when his mouth suddenly fell open and his eyes nearly popped from their sockets.

The first of the four dantians, which had shown no attributes whatsoever, abruptly changed shape. In an instant, waves of a special aura capable of making demon beasts submit rippled out from within it.

This dantian had actually transformed into a Beast Taming Dantian at his mere thought!

Th-this... How was that possible?!

Logically speaking, a dantian's attributes matched a person's talents. Once they appeared, they could never be changed. So how... could his dantian alter its form according to his will?

Am I seeing things?

Shaken to the core, Nie Yun sent his consciousness through the dantian once more. He discovered that he had indeed not been mistaken. This dantian, which had originally possessed no attribute at all, had become a Beast Taming Dantian—the very kind he had envied beyond measure in his previous life—at a single thought of his!

Could the Nameless Cultivation Technique really be this miraculous? Not only could it create dantians, but the dantians it created could take on any attribute at will?

If that was true, then the first two...

The thought made Nie Yun abruptly stop. The two dantians he had created the second time, he had always believed, were one for dantian fire and one for storage. So they had transformed according to his will... and he had thought they had been born that way from the start...

"Little Tiger-head Beast, weren't you chasing me? Then become my Demon Pet!"

Having figured it out and gained a Beast Taming Dantian, Nie Yun could not help bursting into excited laughter. His feet shifted, and he came to a stop before turning to face the Little Tiger-head Beast charging after him!

"Roar?"

After taking a blow in the cave, the Little Tiger-head Beast had been so frustrated it was nearly mad. It had wanted nothing more than to kill the thief who had stolen the Life-Reviving Flower and injured it. Yet this fellow, who could clearly have escaped, had suddenly stopped. The beast froze in confusion, its thick tail swaying as it did not know what to do.

"Hehe, now I'll tame you and make you my Demon Pet!"

Ignoring the Little Tiger-head Beast's shock, Nie Yun laughed. With a leap, he immediately charged at it!

Having a Beast Taming Dantian merely made beast taming more convenient. To truly tame a demon beast, one had to possess greater strength or stronger methods, completely subduing it!

Only once a demon beast thoroughly acknowledged your strength could you take it into your Beast Taming Dantian and make it your Demon Pet!

Moreover, a single Beast Taming Dantian could tame no more than five Demon Pets. Any more than that was impossible! Without those two prerequisites, if someone with a Beast Taming Dantian could take in every demon beast they saw, then releasing an army of demon beasts in battle would make them invincible, wouldn't it?

"Roar!"

Seeing Nie Yun rush toward it, seemingly challenging its authority, the Little Tiger-head Beast roared in fury. Its tail and body twisted into a curve as it snapped at Nie Yun like a pair of shears!

An adult Tiger-head Beast could produce a special demonic aura within its body, something similar to true qi. Once unleashed, its power was boundless. But this Little Tiger-head Beast clearly did not possess it yet, nor did it have much combat experience. Its only moves were "pounce," "flip," and "shear"!

To Nie Yun, who had lived two lives, these three moves were child's play. He chuckled, twisted his body again in midair, and landed another punch on its soft belly!

Thud!

The Little Tiger-head Beast crashed to the ground again, its tiger eyes reddening.

It seemed utterly unable to understand why this fellow would not strike any of the hard parts of its body, instead insisting on hitting the place that hurt most and was most vulnerable!

"Roar!"

Though puzzled, the Little Tiger-head Beast was not one to surrender easily. It struggled back up and unleashed its final move on Nie Yun—a flip!

Whoosh!

It went fast, but came back even faster. Clearly, this move had failed against Nie Yun as well.

"Little Tiger-head Beast, become my Demon Pet!"

He had struck it three times in a row, yet it had not hit him even once. Nie Yun knew the Little Tiger-head Beast must be filled with frustration. This was the best time to tame it. Smiling faintly, he walked over as the special energy within his Beast Taming Dantian surged through his palm and enveloped it in an instant!

"Master!"

After the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, Nie Yun felt a special will flow into his mind.

"Success!"

Feeling the sudden new will in his mind, Nie Yun's eyes lit up.

The Beast Taming Dantian was truly powerful. He had never expected his very first attempt to succeed!

A Demon Pet and its master could communicate mentally. The Little Tiger-head Beast calling him master meant that it had completely accepted him and become his first Demon Pet!

"You'll be called Little Tiger!"

He casually gave the will in his mind an order.

"Yes, Master!"

Restrained by the Beast Taming Dantian, a Demon Pet did not dare show the slightest resistance toward its master. Whatever Nie Yun commanded was law in the Little Tiger-head Beast's mind.

"Take me back to Luoshui City!"

Knowing that it could not possibly refuse its master's command, Nie Yun chuckled excitedly. He leaped onto the Tiger-head Beast's back and had it carry him at full speed toward Luoshui City.

Tiger-head Beasts excelled most at speed. Although Little Tiger had not yet reached adulthood, it was still far faster than Nie Yun over long distances.

It had taken him nearly four hours to get here, but with Little Tiger's rapid sprint, he saw the walls of Luoshui City in just over two hours. The sight left Nie Yun inwardly startled.

Fortunately, he had trapped Little Tiger's parents with the Thousand Desire Flower earlier. Otherwise, with his own speed, there would have been no chance at all of escaping their pursuit!

"With the Life-Reviving Flower, I now have enough ingredients to refine the Heart-Returning Pill. Once Father's damaged sea of qi is restored and he reaches the peak of the Weapon Armor Realm again, there'll be no need to fear even if Nie Haotian comes!"

As he calculated silently, Little Tiger soon followed his instructions and returned quietly to the branch family.

The branch family was no longer as messy as it had been the night before. The furniture that had been smashed to pieces had all been replaced, and even the gate had been changed. The courtyard looked completely renewed upon entering. Judging from appearances alone, no one would believe that the Enforcement Team had reduced this place to ruins the previous night.

Nie Yun was not surprised, though. Money made things easy. He had gathered fifty thousand taels of silver from the Enforcement Team, and he also had more than a million taels on him. That money was enough not only to replace the ruined furniture, but even to buy an entirely new residence!

No sooner had he entered the branch family, settled Little Tiger, and stepped out of his room than he saw the steward, Nie Chong, come to greet him again.

"Young Master, someone is looking for you!" Nie Chong said.

"Someone is looking for me? Who?" Nie Yun froze. It was neither day nor night; what could anyone want with him at this hour? Could it be Yang Yan? No, if it were Yang Yan, he should have come directly without needing to be announced...

"It's a woman!" Nie Chong interrupted his young master's wild thoughts.

P.S. Ahem, ahem, harmony, harmony—"tiger winds rising" can only be described briefly... But does everyone know who has come to see Nie Yun? There will be a reward for guessing correctly...
