Alchemy & Martial Supreme

This time, Qin Ming did not act carelessly. Instead, he began to absorb the energy bit by bit.    

Xu Shan heaved a long sigh of relief when he saw that Qin Ming had stabilized.    

"Alright, I didn't expect Qin Ming to be so smart as to use this kind of method to refine his body." Xu Shan said with lingering fear.    

Xu Ying's eyes were glowing as she stared at Qin Ming. "Father, can I do the same thing as Qin Ming and refine my body like this?"    

She noticed that Qin Ming was improving at a speed visible to the naked eye by using the energy of the Guarded Ground to cultivate his body.    

If she was able to do the same as Qin Ming, she reckoned that in a few days, she would be able to break through from the early stage of the Divine Beast Realm to the peak of the Divine Beast Realm.    

Body training was too tiring. If there was a shortcut, how could she not want to take it?    

Xu Shan smiled when he heard his daughter's words. "Of course you can. Although the effect will be much worse than that of Qin Ming, it will be much faster than your current body-tempering method!"    

"Really?" Xu Ying beamed with joy.    

When Xu Shan saw that his daughter actually took his words seriously, he said earnestly, "What I said is true, but you seem to have forgotten what I said before."    

"Body refining is different from comprehending the Great Dao. There are no shortcuts!"    

"Then how can Qin Ming take a shortcut?" Xu Ying was unconvinced. She had seen with her own eyes how Qin Ming was able to take a shortcut in the path of body refinement. Why was it that Qin Ming was able to take a shortcut, but she couldn't?    

Xu Shan shook his head and pointed down at Qin Ming. "You should have already seen that Qin Ming's body-tempering method allows energy to enter his body and cause wanton destruction."    

"Although you've entered the Guarded Ground once and can no longer use the energy of the Guarded Ground to cultivate, you can still use the energy of the Guarded Ground to harm your own body and heal yourself with the energy of the Guarded Ground!"    

"However, have you ever thought about the pain that you will have to endure?"    

"Compared to your body-tempering method, Qin Ming's body-tempering method is much more difficult!"    

Xu Ying observed Qin Ming carefully, but when she saw that he didn't even frown, she was immediately unconvinced. "If Qin Ming can take it, then I refuse to believe that I can't!"    

"Father, look carefully. If Qin Ming can do it, then I can as well!"    

As she spoke, Xu Ying jumped into the Guarded Ground.    

She had been here countless times; except for the first time when she used the Guarded Ground to cultivate, the rest of the time she came here to pick the strange fruits.    

She could no longer use the energy of the Guarded Ground to cultivate. However, it was still possible for her to use it to harm herself and heal herself.    

After entering the Guarded Ground, Xu Ying thought for a while and decided not to enter the center of the Guarded Ground.    

The closer she got to the center, the more energy there was in the Guarded Ground. Seeing how serious her father was, although Xu Ying was confident in herself, she was still a little worried.    

There was not much energy above the Guarded Ground, so the pain she would have to endure would be much less than that of Qin Ming.    

Xu Ying absorbed a little bit of the energy from the Guarded Ground and entered her body, and just like Qin Ming, she released the restraint on the energy.    

"It hurts... it hurts..." Xu Ying felt a bone-piercing pain, as if a hundred knives were cutting into her flesh. She screamed and screamed at the top of her lungs.    

Luckily, she reacted fast and quickly used her own Dao of Space to clean up the energy in the Guarded Ground.
