Turns Out, I’m In A Villain Clan! Chapter 4 4: Myriad Breathing Technique

After weighing his options, he decided to buy the Myriad Breathing Technique, which required a staggering 15,000 points.

This high price was justified, however, as the technique surpassed the Azure Dragon Breathing Method, an art already renowned as one of the finest within the Desolate Heaven Empire.

The System interface flashed the moment Bai Zihan finalized the transaction.

[Purchase Successful!]

[Would you like to learn the Myriad Breathing Technique now?]

Floating text appeared in his line of sight, glowing softly as the prompt waited for his response.

"Yes!"

[Learning Myriad Breathing Technique…]

A radiant golden light instantly wrapped around Bai Zihan's frame.

A massive surge of information crashed into his mind like a tidal wave, with every fragment of knowledge weaving itself perfectly into his consciousness.

He could feel his entire perspective on Cultivation shifting and broadening far beyond his previous limits.

The Myriad Breathing Technique was more than just a higher-tier skill; it represented a fundamental shift in the way one cultivates.

While the Azure Dragon Breathing Method relied on a rigid and disciplined flow of Qi, the Myriad Breathing Technique felt like inhaling the very essence of the world.

It did not merely collect Qi; it purified and forged it into a version that was far more concentrated and powerful.

"So that's how!"

Bai Zihan grasped the mechanics of the Myriad Breathing Technique instantly; thanks to the System, there was no need for him to spend months mastering the basics.

He immediately put the new Cultivation method to the test, noting that his body was drawing in Qi at a significantly higher velocity than before.

He couldn't quite claim the speed had doubled, primarily because the Qi density in his room was limited and was being drained as fast as it could be replenished.

"This is incredible!"

Furthermore, even when he wasn't focused on active Cultivation, he noticed Qi naturally swirling toward him and slowly permeating his skin.

With this advantage, the road toward reaching higher realms had become considerably less daunting.

While this didn't solve all his problems—as he remained too weak to face those damn protagonists—it served as a solid foundation for his rise.

Bai Zihan let out a slow breath, watching a thin mist of Qi drift from his mouth.

He had finally taken the initial step toward rewriting his fate.

His next goal was to activate the 10x Cultivation Speed card he had earned and attempt to break through to a new level of power.

Armed with this superior technique and the 10x multiplier, he felt certain he could advance by at least one minor realm.

Without a second thought, he retrieved the 10x Cultivation Speed card and activated it.

[10x Cultivation Speed (Active) – 72 Hours Remaining]

The atmosphere around him began to vibrate with energy as the local Qi density seemed to multiply by ten. It felt as though he were submerged in a spiritual spring.

"Additionally, let's take these pills!"

Bai Zihan muttered, pulling the Golden Core Condensation Pill from his storage ring.

With such a massive accumulation of resources, he refused to believe a breakthrough was out of reach.

Entering a deep Cultivation trance, Bai Zihan began circulating his Qi according to the Myriad Breathing Technique.

The ambient energy roared around him, rushing into his body like a turbulent river.

As he steered the refined Qi through his Meridians, his Dantian began to swell with newfound strength.

The golden radiance of his technique merged with the thick Qi from the speed card and the essence of the Golden Core Condensation Pill.

His whole body vibrated with intensity, and he could feel the pressure of a breakthrough mounting within.

Hours slipped away like seconds until, suddenly—

BOOM!

A powerful shockwave of Qi erupted from Bai Zihan’s body and rippled outward.

His cultivation base surged upward, transitioning from the Early Core Formation Stage to the Core Formation Mid-Level.

He let out a sharp breath as his eyes flew open, his pupils shimmering with the light of his new power.

"I've already broken through in just 10 hours?!"

Bai Zihan was briefly stunned by the result.

He hadn't anticipated that the synergy between the Myriad Breathing Technique, the 10x card, and the Golden Core Condensation Pill would be this potent.

He squeezed his fists, savoring the fresh strength flowing through his veins.

Though he acknowledged that being close to a breakthrough already played a part, he had never experienced such an effortless advancement before.

(So this is what geniuses must feel like.)

He recalled that his sister never seemed to struggle with her bottlenecks. For her, a breakthrough was a certainty, unlike his own history of repeated failures.

"This is only the beginning!"

Refusing to waste even a moment, Bai Zihan dove back into his trance, determined to maximize the remaining duration of his buff.

The Qi surrounding him grew even thicker as he concentrated on refining the energy, stabilizing his new level, and pushing for further gains.

Time became a blur as he cycled his Qi, strengthening his Meridians and cleansing his Dantian.

The Myriad Breathing Technique worked without pause, enhancing the quality of the Qi stored within him.

Another 24 hours passed, and Bai Zihan’s aura flared once more.

While he hadn't jumped to the next major realm, he had reached the absolute peak of the Core Formation Mid-Level, standing right at the threshold of the Top-level.

Though sweat beaded on his brow, his face showed nothing but resolve and pride.

"The remaining time will be spent consolidating my strength. I can't afford to damage my foundation!"

He realized that if he pushed even harder, he might force another minor breakthrough, but doing so could destabilize his foundation and hinder his future path.

Choosing wisdom over haste, he decided to stop his advancement and focus on solidifying his current power.

He spent the final hours cultivating steadily, ensuring his foundation was flawless and his power was perfectly integrated.

As the timer on the 10x Cultivation Speed card finally ran out, Bai Zihan opened his eyes, which now held a confident spark.

Phew!

This session of Cultivation had felt incredibly smooth compared to his past efforts.

Whether the credit belonged to the Myriad Breathing Technique or the 10x card, those three days had been both incredibly fast and highly productive.

In the past, a full month of effort might not have yielded the results he achieved in just seventy-two hours.

Previously, his poor talent meant he could spend an entire day in meditation without gaining a single thing.

Now, however, he found his efforts to be deeply rewarding, sparking a genuine desire to keep pushing forward.

He stood up, the air around him buzzing with the weight of his suppressed aura.

"Shall I take a bath?"
