At the start of the game, you have one equipment slot; the effects of unequipping the equipment rema

at the same time.

The armory of the Demon Slayer Division, the long corridor on the right.

Mu Yang took the note he had approved and went to the martial arts exchange office.

The person in charge of distributing martial arts techniques was a middle-aged man who looked quite ordinary.

Upon seeing that the note Mu Yang wrote "The Method of Constructing the Vast Great Dantian," and glancing at Mu Yang's overly youthful face, he immediately understood.

Another stubborn kid who thinks he's exceptionally gifted.

Despite his inner musings, he didn't show any unusual expression on his face.

Having been an administrator for over a decade, he'd seen plenty of stubborn kids like this and was used to it.

He turned around and went into the martial arts storage area. About fifteen minutes later, he came back with a thick book in his hand.

"Your martial art, the 'Vast Dantian Construction Method,' can be practiced in a free training room at our Demon Slaying Division. Just walk to the end of the path."

"Before you begin practicing, it's best to read it carefully to avoid making any mistakes."

"If anything goes wrong during the construction process, you can go to the left side of the training room, where there is a physician in charge of treatment."

The middle-aged man kindly offered this reminder.

All of these are free benefits from the Demon Slayer Division.

There are places for cultivation and physicians responsible for treatment. If you have merit, you can exchange it for demon meat, precious medicines, or even pills.

Because of the abundance of resources, countless people are willing to join the Demon Slayer Division, which has an extremely high mortality rate.

All for the sake of a better future.

"Thanks for reminding me."

Mu Yang thanked him and then eagerly headed towards the cultivation room.

The so-called training room is actually just a well-soundproofed private room.

The interior space is small, only about twenty square meters. The walls are made of iron and stone, and the only light source is a fluorite embedded in the ceiling.

......

[Equipable Item: Fluorite]

[Rank: Tier 3]

【Equipment Effect: ① Fluorescent (White): Consistently emits a soft light, illuminating an area with a radius of approximately one zhang (about 3.3 meters).】

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for ten full hours, or slay any monster of rank three or higher while equipping this item.]

......

"This little stone is actually a Tier 3 item?"

Mu Yang glanced at the fluorite's panel and clicked his tongue in amazement.

As expected of the Demon Slayer Division, even a lighting device is ranked third.

I wonder if there are any Tier 4 gadgets to enhance his sleeve.

Thinking it over, Mu Yang sat down on the futon in the center of the room, cross-legged, and took out the "Great Dantian Construction Method" from his bosom.

A panel in the color of ink wash suddenly appeared.

......

[Equipable Item: Vast Great Dantian Construction Method (Qi Condensation Martial Art)]

[Rank: Fourth Rank]

【Equipment Effect: ①Perfect (White): The proficiency of the Vast Dantian Construction Method has reached the perfect level.

② Vast Dantian (Blue): Constructs a dantian five times the size of a martial artist of the same level. After the dantian is constructed, it greatly increases the speed of true qi condensation and greatly reduces the meridian pressure caused by an excessively large dantian.

③ Meridian Expansion (White): The width and resilience of the body's meridians increase slightly.

[Permanent fixation conditions: Equip this item for 100 days, or slay any fourth-tier or higher-grade monster while equipping this item.]

......

"Equip the 'Vast Dantian Construction Method'." Mu Yang withdrew his gaze and silently recited in his mind.

[Ding! The "Vast Dantian Construction Method" has been equipped!]

In an instant, a wealth of complex knowledge about the construction of the dantian flooded into my mind.

Meridian pathways, Qi and blood transformation, opening and expanding of the dantian...

All his skills, as if honed through over a decade of personal practice, were ingrained in his very being, becoming second nature.

At the same time, a surge of energy, even more powerful than the blue energy-filled attribute, erupted from his body.

Mu Yang closed his eyes and began to guide the flow of Qi and blood.

Despite it being his first time trying it, he did it with ease and without any awkwardness.

Qi and blood surge like rivers, flowing along specific meridians and converging at the point where the dantian is built.

The place was originally a chaotic area, but under the constant flow of qi and blood, a vague spatial outline gradually appeared.

This is the prototype of the dantian.

As blood and qi continuously flow in, the dantian space begins to solidify.

One percent, two percent, three percent...

With almost every breath, the density of the dantian increases further.

After ten breaths, a complete dantian suddenly took shape.

This is not over yet.

Mu Yang's internal energy and blood flowed like a surging river, constantly washing over his newly formed dantian.

The expansion that would normally only occur after the dantian is fully formed and the true qi fills the entire dantian has now appeared!

The dantian began to expand like a balloon.

Double, triple, triple...

It only stopped completely when it expanded to five times the size of an ordinary martial artist.

Fourth-stage Qi Condensation Realm, achieved!

"boom--!!"

The moment the dantian was completely formed, the surging qi and blood seemed to find an outlet and rushed into it wildly.

After the Qi and blood flow into the Dantian, it seems to undergo some kind of wonderful change, gradually fading its original color and turning into a transparent mist.

That's true qi!

After a breakthrough, an ordinary martial artist will condense about ten strands of true qi in their body, which is the level of the initial Qi Condensation Realm.

Then, one can gradually replenish vital energy by continuously consuming foods that nourish blood and qi.

Once the amount of true qi reaches the limit of the dantian, which is one hundred strands, all the true qi can be integrated into the dantian to carry out the first dantian expansion and break through to the early stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

After that, it's a matter of time and effort; you just need to continue filling and expanding it step by step.

Until the true qi in the dantian reaches a thousand strands, one arrives at the perfect state of qi condensation.

However, what others take years or even decades to complete, Mu Yang has already begun to sprint at this moment.

Strands of true energy eagerly gathered within Mu Yang's vast dantian.

In just a few breaths, five hundred strands of true energy were formed, completely filling the vast dantian.

Just as Mu Yang was preparing to make a breakthrough from the initial stage of Qi Condensation to the early stage of Qi Condensation in one fell swoop, an unexpected change occurred.

The wisps of white, misty true energy did not merge into the dantian barrier, but instead flowed slowly within the dantian.

"What's going on?"

Mu Yang frowned slightly.

The true energy, which had originally resembled a thin mist in a clear sky and was almost transparent, began to gradually thicken.

It was as thick as the white mist that lingers in a secluded valley or mountain stream.

Although still light and ethereal, hazy and white, it is now more clearly visible.

Once all five hundred strands of true energy within the vast dantian have been completely transformed.

All the special true energy suddenly merged into the dantian.

His dantian, which was five times the size of a normal Qi Condensation Realm martial artist, expanded once again.

The size doubled.

Initial stage of Qi Condensation Realm, achieved!

Strands of special true energy condensed once more.

Until the body's vital energy and blood were exhausted, a full five hundred strands of special true energy occupied half of the vast dantian.

I'm still half a unit of true qi short of breaking through to the mid-stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.

Mu Yang opened his eyes and channeled a wisp of true energy into his palm.

A white mist swirled in my palm, warm to the touch, and noticeably thicker than ordinary true energy.

Mu Yang tried to exert his strength, and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Two hundred jin! This wisp of true energy has actually increased by two hundred jin!"

A martial artist at the Qi Condensation Realm can only increase their strength by 100 jin with a wisp of true qi.

But this wisp of his true energy can increase his weight by two hundred jin!

It's twice the boost of ordinary true qi!

"Is the 'Great Dantian Construction Method' special, or is it because I completed three rounds of tendon and bone tempering?" Mu Yang secretly analyzed in his mind.

But no matter what, he made a fortune this time.

Even if an ordinary Qi Condensation Realm martial artist cultivates to perfection, their dantian can only store a thousand strands of true qi. If they were to unleash it all, they would only have a force of 100,000 jin.

However, he was only at the early stage of Qi Condensation Realm, and his dantian was only half-filled, yet he already had five hundred strands of special true qi.

When fully unleashed, the increased force is a full 100,000 jin!

When he reaches the peak of the Qi Condensation Realm, he will condense five thousand strands of special true qi.

The power-enhancing effect will reach a terrifying force of a million pounds!

With that kind of power, if he were to face Fan Duan again, he could probably take him down with a flick of his finger.

Fan Duan: Are you being polite?!
