Chapter 385 - What Did You Say?!

Rean couldn't help but feel somewhat sad for the guy.

'Hmm... I somehow don't feel like kidnapping this guy anymore.'

As for Roan, well, he was just annoyed that he hadn't sent Tissan directly into the Dimensional Realm Yet.

'Stop the bullshit. Once this Sam guy leaves, let's immediately take this drag away and get out of this place. Otherwise, I won't get access to the Black Market. Just be happy that our target is really a weakling and forget the rest. Besides, he does seem like to know something about what's going on inside the Imperial Family.'

Rean scratched the back of his head but nodded in the end. He turned his head back and looked at how Uncle Sam helped Tissan in cultivating. It was then that he had an idea.

'Let's move on the back. I want to try something.'

Roan nodded, not minding it much. The two then moved behind Tissan. There, Rean concentrated and released his Spiritual Sense. However, he didn't use all of it. Instead, he only spread it enough to touch Tissan's body. After all, if his Spiritual Sense touched Uncle Sam's, the old man would notice it straight away. Such risk didn't exist with Tissan since his cultivation was two entire realms below Rean.

Roan noticed what Rean was doing and, after pondering a bit, released his Spiritual Sense as well.

Uncle Sam was helping out in guiding the Spiritual Energy inside Tissan's body to reach the Dantian easier. Usually, one would be doing it by themselves until they became experienced with it. However, Rean and Roan could see that it was not easy to circulate the Spiritual Energy inside Tissan's body.

'Weird, his meridians don't seem to be blocked or anything like that.'

Roan looked at Rean and shook his head.

'So that's what you wanted to see. Couldn't you have waited until we brought this guy into the Dimensional Realm?'

Rean smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he kept looking at how Tissan cultivated. However, he did find a few injuries and sequelae in his body.

'Those should be the effects of the Black Market items Tissan talked about. This guy is quite resilient even though he has such a feminine appearance. I can guess how painful it was just by looking at it.'

Roan shrugged his shoulders and simply let Rean do as he wished. As long as he doesn't alert the old man, then he didn't care.

Finally, Rean reached the Dantian of the guy and could see where the problem was.

'He wasn't lying. Look at that. His Dantian is expelling all the Spiritual Energy that enters it.'

Roan used his Spiritual Sense and noticed the same thing.

'True. But that isn't all. Look at the connection to the Dantian. They are also damaged.'

It was then that Rean understood.

'Oh! I see. They destroyed his Dantian in the past so that Tissan could build a new one. He had to enter the Energy Gathering Realm twice, and the second time should have been quite a hassle. Unfortunately, it seems like it didn't work. The new Dantian also had the same problem as the previous one.'

Rean shook his head. He could fix the damaged connections and the side effects of the medicines Tissan took. However, that Dantian was out of his league. First of all, it was not like Tissan's Dantian was damaged to start with. It was just different. There was nothing to be healed there.

However, as Roan looked at that, his eyes narrowed.

'Weird...'

Rean noticed Roan's expression.

'What is it?'

'Can't you see? He is already in the Middle Stage of the Energy Gathering Realm.'

Rean was taken aback for a second. He did notice it at first, but he didn't mind at that time. Only now did he see the problem here.

'That's right. If all the Spiritual Energy dissipates, then how come he has reached the middle stage?'

'That can only mean that his Dantian doesn't dissipate all the Spiritual Energy, but most of it. It is still taking a very small percentage of it.'

Roan kept observing the Dantian closely. In the end, he could feel something else from it.

'Yin Energy?'

Rean heard that and looked at the Dantian as well.

'Yin Energy? Where? Can you feel any Yin Energy coming from his Dantian?'

Roan shook his head.

'No. No Yin Energy is coming out at all.'

Rean got puzzled.

'Then what?'

Roan then explained.

'That the issue here. Yin Energy is an energy that is present everywhere. It's just that the Yin Energy in the environment is too weak for cultivators to use it. Usually, they need something like Calina's Cultivation Technique to make use of it. It would be much better if they had some natural items with a lot of Yin Energy so that they can absorb them directly.'

'That being said, even the Spiritual Energy we take when we cultivate has Yin Energy inside it. You can also feel it thanks to our Soul Connection, no? At least, I can feel the presence of Yang Energy because of you.'

Rean nodded.

'Of course. But I believe you are much better at feeling Yin Energy than me.'

Roan didn't deny that.

'That doesn't matter right now. Pay close attention to the Spiritual Energy in Tissan's body.'

Rean narrowed his eyes and further focused on the Spiritual Energy itself. However, he couldn't see anything wrong with the Spiritual Energy entering Tissan's body. It had Yin and Yang Energy as always. It was then that an idea popped into Rean's mind. He quickly focused on the Spiritual Energy that was dissipating from Tissan's Dantian. Only then did he notice. The dissipated Spiritual Energy had Yang Energy, but the Yin Energy was gone entirely. There wasn't even an iota present.

'This... Is his Dantian absorbing all the Yin Energy and leaving the Yang Energy aside?'

Roan nodded.

'At least, that's how it feels. I'm a Yin Energy Freak in my own way, so I can tell. His Dantian is using Yin Energy alone to cultivate.'

[Wait! What did you say?]

Rean and Roan were taken aback by Sister Orb's sudden shout.
