《The Strength of Duality (Newly Edited)》Two Peak Dantian Building
Advertisement
Yun Tian’s action though made the guards and the two newcomers float weird expressions. Although, they didn’t comment about it as they merely continued to inspect his group.
Still, they were thinking things like, ‘They are quite bold.’
Aside from Shen Yu, Yun Tian wasn’t too worried about the wolves' safety. After all, they weren’t sitting ducks and he was sure they could at least preserve their own safety if a fight immediately broke out.
He became wary when he realized there were two peak dantian building experts, but at the same time he also became excited.
The wolves also became alert. Bolin especially felt pressured at the appearance of two powerful possible enemies. As the strongest among the wolves, he felt that he should take the greatest burden in battles. If something were to happen, he felt he would help with one of them.
As for the two who arrived, they were surprised to see Yun Tian's group, but they didn't interact immediately with them as they saw the guard next to Yun Tian.
They became confused since there was an alarm and the man barked at the guard, "What is going on?"
The guard replied, “Patriarch, this sir over here has just arrived in town to look for high grade qi gathering pills and asked me to use the horn to gather everyone here.”
He explained everything that happened concisely without adding any of his own opinions and didn’t say anything after that, letting the two of them gauge the situation themselves. Their judgement would definitely be better than his.
The man noticed he had nothing else to say and dismissed him saying: “You can leave now.”
The guard replied, “Yes,” and respectfully bowed to the two experts and Yun Tian before leaving.
After the two of them inspected Yun Tian’s group, the woman was the first to speak, saying, “Little brother, you seem like a man with great abilities, why don’t you come over to my clan and we will entertain you?”

The man snorted after hearing that and said, “Mu Wen, didn’t you hear? He came here for pills not to be seduced. Besides, how can you compare your appearance with the girl already in his arms?”
Hearing this, Mu Wen’s originally genial smile crumpled for a moment before returning to normal. At the same time, Shen Yu in Yun Tian’s arms had her face redden. Yun Tian also immediately decided which of the two he liked better.
Mu Wen retorted, “Well, What do you think little brother?”
At this, Yun Tian said, “I am indeed here for high grade qi gathering pills and not anything else.”
With that the man chuckled, while the woman’s expression crumpled once more. She scowled before regaining a calm appearance but her genial smile was now gone.
The man was the first to speak next saying: “If you want high grade qi gathering pills, you must have something to trade for them right?”
At this, Yun Tian’s gaze sharpened. The man’s words seemed normal, but they also included other meanings such as probing him out. If he couldn’t even take something out to trade for them, then they wouldn’t take him seriously at all. But taking something valuable out would also show them he had it, which meant if he wasn’t strong enough they could rob it.
They could both feel a faint sensation of danger from him, but they couldn’t tell just how strong he was. And, they were certain the wolves were just mid stage demonic beasts. So, the only reason they would take his group seriously was if they saw proof of Yun Tian’s strength and a good item could somewhat prove it.
Yun Tian, took out a late stage core with one hand while holding Shen Yu with the other and asked almost sarcastically, “Will this suffice?”

Both of the two opposite him had their eyes brighten and they also both felt their guards raise. While they couldn’t tell whether Yun Tian had gotten that core himself or not, he at least felt confident in even taking it out in front of them.
So, they didn’t plan on underestimating him.
In fact, the man introduced himself saying: “My name is Gu Jie. May I ask what your name is, fellow?”
He even addressed him as ‘fellow’ showing that he placed great belief in his strength, regarding him as an equal.
As for Mu Wen, Gu Jie had already spoken her name.
Yun Tian said, “My name is Yun Tian. Besides that, do either of you have any pills you would like to trade?”
Gu Jie, replied, “I don’t have any and I’m pretty sure she doesn’t either.”
As he said that, Mu Wen confirmed, “I do not.”
Gu Jie, continued, “Though I am sure there are some if we head over to the Spirit Market.”
Other experts started arriving in waves at this moment, either from the gates or over the wall. They all arrived in a flurry with their guards up, only to calm down when they saw the situation.
There were old men and women dantian building experts. In fact there were many more strong women dantian building experts than Yun Tian had ever seen. Most of them gathered together near Mu Wen so he figured they must be with her. He was surprised by this, but did not think too much of it. But he was once again excited though as he saw the Thirteen late stage dantian building experts. Thirteen!
The people who arrived saw the strongest experts in town facing a young man and they appeared to be calmly talking so their alert from the previous alarm calmed down. They didn’t even dare to ask what was going on and just watched from the sidelines even after their arrival.
Yun Tian and the two opposite him waited until everyone seemed to arrive and Gu Jie said, “That should be everyone. Want me to ask them for you?” to Yun Tian.
Yun Tian said, “Go ahead,” as he knew what he meant.
With that, Gu Jie turned and addressed everyone behind him as he said, “Everyone fellow Yun Tian has come here looking for high grade qi gathering pills. So, if anyone is willing to take some out, he is willing to trade late stage demonic cores for some pills.”

The Discarded
The Umbrae Lunae existed before man, beautiful abominations birthed in the nightmares of mad gods. They wait for humanity to misstep, for the angels to look away. For the moment when they can cloak the world in moon shadows once again. But even horrors have children. Even nightmares must feed. One child, unlike the others, finds his way to a school for young abominations. Will he be a sheep cast before the wolves, or a terror that wears the skin of wool to entice the wolf close? The flesh of his body was his only coin, strips cut to pay debts that never ended. Everyone has scars, stories in a life led, lessons learned, and licks taken. Luminous bodies touched by darkness. There are a cursed few that are the opposite, black shadows consumed by scars, twisted minds devoured by diseased hungers, bodies tortured misshapen works of gouged flesh, silver lines of blade thin cuts, ragged tears of teeth and glass. For them, the scars are marks of homecoming, the mangled wasteland the only place they feel at peace. Hell is a place. It's made of concrete, steel and glass. It's the sounds of starving kids crying themselves to sleep, huddling into small balls as creepers come and take their due of innocence and tender meat. It's eating rotten food and carrying ticks in your hair. It’s having no one and nothing while surrounded by everything. It's the life of a street kid. What abomination was birthed in the corrupt womb of man’s cast-off shit? Pretty people don't know the power of ugly. They can't see the strength in a broken soul or the power in a calloused heart. Those secrets are for the discarded alone. Only the broken understand the grace of darkness. The blessed folds that hide scars and tears, the protection of its concealing umbra.
