Remaining in the fetal position, I can still feel the spiritual sense of the guards wash over .
As ti has passed, and their emotions have settled, it appears theyre doing the smart thing and ascertaining what is going on with .
This is quite bad for .
With the level of the sense that they haven , as well as the situation that they saw in front of them, it will be clear to them I have so sort of self-healing ability. They will also be able to tell that I havent formally started into cultivation just yet, which would have at least given the option of using my cultivation thod as an excuse.
With this, it is more likely they will realize that I have a healing constitution of so sort. And a powerful one at that, as I was able to almost instantaneously heal from clearly deadly wounds.
This is pretty terrible because that now ans that the alchemy Guild will know that I can heal this quickly. They will understand why I survived their assassination attempt.
And even worse, they may co up with plans on how they could use as a test subject. Foreign alchemist, having a self-healing test subject would be the best thing you could ask for, as you could determine just how bad a poison would be. Alternatively, they could just try to torture to get information and see how they could replicate the ability.
Last idea would be for a particularly resourceful cultivator to take over my body, to gain access to the ability.
Obviously, since the ability is tied to my soul instead of my body, it wouldnt work, but it would still be an overall terrible outco for .
I have a few chances to avoid this fate, though.
The first chance is that the sect would be the first to know about what happened here. In the event that sothing happens that is worth the attention of a superior, they would either inform them imdiately or wait until their posting ends.
Considering the waves Ive already made in my application, theyd easily be able to match my description and what I was going for.
This would make an asset to them.
Despite the shock of the situation, this hasnt reached the level of using their communication tokens to contact a superior imdiately. Only a demonic attack or a full assault would warrant such a thing.
The main reason? When soone cos through the first and second areas of the teleportation, each step passes along so information from the previous areas guards.
Not only that, but the information that they received from the first area is that Im a noble of so kind. Just this is enough to stay their hand and use caution with the situation.
Its likely also the reason they didnt attack when I was in the house and simply got out of the array area. Already, such an action is one that could get them in hot water, even if they were right to do so.
They will try to put this off as long as possible to figure out a way to deal with this.
Their next shift would begin in a few days. Since sothing had happened, they would need to at least report it at that ti.
It would likely not end in their favor, but if they tried to hide it and a noble group revealed it, they could be stripped of their position. Maybe more.
This is what leads to the main chance to fix this.
I just need to convince them to not report this or share it with any groups.
Of course, I have to make it through this first.
So, I continue bearing with the pain, as I remake my ridians and expand my dantians.
While my body is no longer going through seizures or spurting puke out of my neck, Im still fighting to my body from doing so.
Its a slow process, as I still have to push through every small bit of my body to recreate my ridians. Ive already changed my dantians and expanded that area.
Milliter by milliter, I branched out my ridians. These portions extended out to touch the surface of my skin. The goal for it is for it to ultimately allow my Qi to already be at the surface of my skin, so at a thought, it could be summoned for to command.
The shape of the tunnels is what will allow to mark control of it a little easier. Otherwise, I just have it coming out at a constant rate, being loosed into the air against my will.
Many of these things are combining, enhanced by my healing constitution and aura to make it into a more effective action.
What I do notice is that most of the guards have seed to co to a decision. One of them has started to approach . Despite the fact that I have left their operating area within the array.
This is highly abnormal, as normally they stay within the realm of the array.
Just as he reaches the edge of their territory, he sprints out and then dashes towards . Luckily for , I do not sense a murderous attempt from him, more of one that looks like hes going to rescue .
And so he does.
Despite the distance, he quickly reaches , picks up, and moves back into the house, which has now been cleaned.
While carrying , he quickly checks to see if Im conscious or not. I can see his face pale as he realized that Ive been awake the whole ti. That I have seen each of their actions.
After placing back in the house on the mats in the position they found , he goes back and communicates this to the other guards, who also start worrying.
The anger of a noble is no joke.
Regardless of how right you are.
I can already see them going through different scenarios of what they might have to do. As they appear to be foundation establishnt cultivators, they can speak in extrely low tones that no normal human could hear, but still communicate clearly between each other.
It is only with my scan that Im able to determine what theyre saying.
Funnily enough, one of them looks up sharply in comnts that there is a possibility that I may be able to hear them with so artifact or sothing, so they switched to using a private sign language communication between each other.
Since most of my scan is focused on trying to make sure that everything is set up correctly for my cultivation journey, Im not able to decipher what their code ans.
However, it doesnt really take a genius to know what theyre thinking. They are considering whether it is better to just get rid of .
If they are smart, they will quickly realize that theyve left too many clues for a dedicated noble group looking for answers to follow.
And theres one thing that you can say about nobles.
They take threats and injuries to their face very seriously. No matter who its from.
If sothing happened, itll be bad. But if you try to hide sothing away, and you dont do a good enough job of doing so, it infuriates them.
I can practically see the resignation fill their face as they co to the sa realization. Theyll just have to wait for to formally go towards them and address the issue.
Soon enough, my changes are completed. It takes a couple more hours to do so than planned.
Almost imdiately, I let my Qi flow through all parts of my body in accordance with the cultivation thod. A wave of Qi washes out from , showing that I just reached the first level of Qi Condensation.
The sweat increases on their brows.
