The storage room wasn’t small, roughly the size of a room. It didn’t look particularly large, but it could indeed store items like Storage Bags, Storage Rings, and other types of spatial equipment. This made the storage room virtually much larger, big enough for Qi Tian’s use for a considerably long time in the future. Furthermore, Qi Tian had a premonition that this storage room appeared because the Heavenly Dao Engine devoured a Storage Ring. If he could figure out the reason or find a similar treasure that would cause such a change, perhaps the space of the storage room could continue to expand.

Qi Tian quickly moved all the potentially unnecessary treasures from his body to the storage room of the Heavenly Dao Engine. Even if these things were transferred into the storage room, they were easily accessible when needed. He simply needed a very short time to retrieve them through the black hole in his palm. The whole process even took less time than retrieving them from a Storage Bag in the past.

After Qi Tian finished moving the items, he turned his gaze to the third and last brocade box. Before opening this box, he habitually felt it with the Heavenly Dao Engine and found that the Engine had a strong reaction to it, indicating that there should be treasures with abundant Spirit Qi inside.

The brocade box, like the previous two, was without any prohibitions and opened quite easily. However, contrary to Qi Tian’s expectations, there were no special treasures inside. Instead, there was a small figure, very similar in size and shape to those straw dolls used for cursing people in his previous life. It was no bigger than a palm and not very pleasant to look at.

Qi Tian instantly became vigilant. This small figure seemed ordinary, yet it elicited such a large reaction from the Heavenly Dao Engine. Simply based on this fact, he could affirm that this was not an ordinary object. Instead of reaching out to grab the small figure, his first reaction was to close the brocade box.

At that moment, the small figure flew out of the brocade box and hovered less than a meter away from Qi Tian. Suddenly, it opened its mouth and emitted an extremely sharp sound wave towards Qi Tian.

This sound wave struck Qi Tian’s soul directly. He felt as if his head was about to explode, and he almost fainted.

The straw doll revealed a wicked smile. A strand of black smoke suddenly flew out of its head, forming a humanoid shape. Glancing at Qi Tian, who had passed out, the humanoid nodded in satisfaction, murmuring, “Forty meridians have been perfectly unblocked. Even in my era, this would have marked him as an extraordinary genius. Haha, it was worth it for my main body to leave a strand of its soul here, finally waiting for such a perfect body. Boy, you’re in luck to meet me.”

The humanoid then transformed back into a strand of black smoke and pounced towards Qi Tian like an arrow leaving a bow.

But at this moment, Qi Tian suddenly raised his hand. Several Transporting Whirlwinds flew out of his palm, rushing towards the black smoke.

The black smoke suddenly felt entangled by the pulling force of the Transporting Whirlwinds. It felt as if it had been wrapped by giant pythons and couldn’t struggle. It exclaimed, “What is this technique you’re using? Why is it so powerful?”

Naturally, the Transporting Whirlwinds wouldn’t respond and simply continued dragging the black smoke towards the black hole in Qi Tian’s palm.

As the black smoke struggled desperately, it shouted at Qi Tian, “Young man, this is all just a misunderstanding. If you let me go, not only can I teach you how to form a Gold Core, but I can also tell you the method to form a Nascent Soul, assisting you along the Cultivation path to the Nascent Soul Stage.”

Qi Tian’s eyes returned to normal. He looked at the black figure coldly and said, “Sorry, but I can only be at ease if you’re dead.”

The black smoke didn’t expect Qi Tian to recover so quickly. It said, “How is this possible? How can you be unharmed under my Soul Splitting Sound? Could it be that your spiritual power has reached the Gold Core level?”

Qi Tian couldn’t be bothered to respond to the black smoke. Both because he didn’t want to and because he didn’t know how. He himself didn’t know how strong his spiritual power had become, but it was likely that his spiritual power had been greatly strengthened when he went through unbearable pain while opening up his meridians and refining his body during the Qi Cultivation Period.

“Young man, let’s talk. I know the whereabouts of many Innate Spiritual Treasures, I can tell you all of them.” The black smoke, still begging Qi Tian even at the very last moment before being dragged into the black hole by the Transporting Whirlwind. However, Qi Tian wouldn’t give the black smoke any opportunity and simply let the hole absorb it. The black smoke wasn’t even sent to the storage room but used directly as fuel by the Heavenly Dao Engine.

Qi Tian let out a sigh of relief. He didn’t expect to run into such a thing. If it weren’t for the Heavenly Dao Engine, there was a very good chance that he would have been possessed by the black smoke. At the same time, he was grateful for the hardships endured during the Qi Cultivation Period. Otherwise, even if he had the Heavenly Dao Engine, if his soul were torn by the Soul Splitting Sound of the black smoke, he would still be doomed.

He had been extremely cautious, yet he almost fell into the trap and became someone else’s puppet. The dangers in the Cultivation World were indeed everywhere and difficult to guard against.
