In a spacious palace hall, a disciple with a gloomy appearance hurried inside. The black-robed man cultivating within saw the reckless disciple and immediately became displeased.
"How dare you? I am in the midst of cultivation. Who allowed you to barge in?"
"A great matter has occurred within the sect! This disciple was so anxious that I acted rashly. I beseech the Great Elder for forgiveness!" the disciple said, quickly kneeling.
Hearing this, the Great Elder's expression changed. "What has happened?"
The disciple dared not conceal anything and immediately recounted everything that had just occurred.
"What? You said that kid swallowed the Jade Marrow Stone?" The Great Elder slammed the table and shot to his feet, his wide eyes filled with disbelief.
"This disciple wouldn't dare speak nonsense. After he swallowed the Jade Marrow Stone, he didn't explode and die. I suspect he must have used a Secret Technique to suppress it within his Dantian."
