Chapter 56 - Second Encounter with Xiao Leng (1/2)

Qin Nan’s expression remained the same after witnessing the final outcome. He was never merciful toward his enemies.

“Let’s see how many pills this guy has on him.” Qin Nan approached the body and searched him, finding two jade jars. Each jar had ten Xiantian Pills in it.

“Twenty Xiantian Pills, this guy is actually quite rich.” A smile appeared on Qin Nan’s face, as he regarded the pills as his belongings now without hesitation.

Following this, Qin Nan did not waste any more time; he sprang forward immediately and plucked the five Violet Flame Flowers.

“I should go to the well-hidden place I found before, and consume these Violet Flame Flowers.”

As he made this decision, he moved speedily toward his destination while using his Eyes of the Divine Battle Spirit.

In the time it took for three incense sticks to finish burning, Qin Nan arrived at a well-hidden cave.

The cave was around two meters tall, but it was quite narrow, and was only able to allow one person to enter at a time. Once he went deeper into the cave, he found a pond around thirty meters squared; the pond was clear, with reflections of blue light forming a beautiful view.

Qin Nan took out the Violet Flame Flowers, and clenched them all tightly in his fists, turning them into a handful of violet liquid, which was dropped into the pond.

The previously clear pond turned violet instantly; a rich amount of Qi was released, and it had a pleasant scent, which was oddly strange at the same time.

“Let me try and see how good these Violet Flame Flowers are.”

Qin Nan took a deep breath and jumped straight into the water.

However, the moment he entered the pond, his whole expression changed instantly.

Qin Nan could only feel a needling pain all over his body, as if countless tiny needles pierced through his pores; the degree of the pain was self-explanatory.

Qin Nan took a cold breath; the crazy pain had caused him to contort his face, with voices appearing in his mind telling him to escape from the pond, and the pain.

“No, I won’t leave! With so many people hunting me, I have to raise my power—I won’t leave even if I’m going to die here!”

Qin Nan let out a deep roar while he endured the extreme pain; he then clenched his teeth and remained in place.

Time passed slowly.

While Qin Nan was still in the pond, every breath became a challenge as to his limit, as the pain all over his body grew even stronger.

At that instant, Qin Nan’s brain felt like a fully stretched string. He had to tried his best to hold the string in place; if he lost his focus, the string would snap in any moment.

After five hours, Qin Nan was covered in blood in the pond, as if he had been slashed with a sword countless times.

Even though being immersed in the Violet Flame Flower Liquid would not bring any direct harm to the body, due to the extreme pain the skin was torn apart.

As expected, while Qin Nan was enduring the terrifying pain, a stream of Qi continued to flow into Qin Nan’s body, tempering his whole body, including the organs.

The progress in these five hours, was equivalent to five days of cultivation with the help of his Martial Spirit.

“Keep going… Keep going… It’s not enough… not enough…”

Qin Nan clenched his teeth; he continued to roar and howl in his heart, and his legs were rooted as if there were filled with lead.

At last, after a period of twelve hours, an arcane force was released from Qin Nan’s body, which completely sucked the violet liquid from the pond of water.

The water turned clear once again.

At the same time, Qin Nan’s twisted face had finally calmed down and returned to normal; he opened his eyes slowly.

Following it, a forceful aura burst out from Qin Nan’s body, which now appeared to have reached the sixth-layer Body Tempering Realm.

“It’s about time that I reached the sixth-layer Body Tempering Realm.” Qin Nan exhaled as an excited expression appeared on his face. He instinctively clenched his fist to feel the enormous power within his body and said, “Not only that, I can feel that the force in my body would not be any weaker than the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm; I’m just lacking some experience before I have a breakthrough to achieve the seventh-layer Body Tempering Realm.”
