Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 147 Girls Should Be More Reserved

Seeing Zhou Xi hesitating to move forward, Qinchuan turned his head and looked at her indifferently, "Don't worry, I have no interest in your skin. If you do not wish to awaken the Taiyin Treasure Body, it doesn't matter to me."

At his words, Zhou Xi's face immediately flushed with embarrassment, her alluring shyness on display, as she whispered, "Turn around!" Explore more adventures at empire

Qinchuan had no interest in peeping, so he turned away.

Zhou Xi watched Qinchuan's back, pursed her lips lightly, and only after making sure that Qinchuan would not suddenly turn around, did she quickly strip off her clothes and then swiftly immerse herself into the cauldron.

The liquid in the cauldron was thick enough to obstruct the line of sight, and Zhou Xi only left her neck above the surface, running her True Qi within her body to resist the high temperature inside the cauldron.

"You can turn around now," Zhou Xi said softly.

Qinchuan turned back and looked towards the cauldron, then suddenly spoke, "I only told you to take off your outer clothes, how come you removed the inner ones as well?"

Zhou Xi was at first stunned, then quickly realized and hastily covered her chest with both hands, indignantly saying, "You can see?!"

The liquid inside the cauldron was fiery red and thick like magma, impossible to directly peer into. How could he know she had taken off all her clothes?

Qinchuan said without embarrassment or pause, "Nonsense, your clothes are lying on the ground."

He certainly wouldn't admit that his Innate Pupils could see through the liquid in the cauldron to discern the truth…

Hearing that Qinchuan had only seen the clothes on the ground, and deduced from there, Zhou Xi immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still so embarrassed her face turned crimson as she stammered, "You didn't say it was just the outer clothes, I thought…"

"But I also didn't say to take everything off, did I?"

"Young lady, remember to be more reserved in the future."

Qinchuan mercilessly shifted the blame.

Zhou Xi immediately bowed her head, her face red as if it were about to bleed.

Qinchuan didn't linger on the matter, "All right, I'm going to continue adding medicinal ingredients. From now on, you need to focus all your concentration, circulate the Taiyin True Qi through your entire body, absorb and refine the medicinal potency."

"Additionally, I will pass on to you an oral incantation for nourishing the Innate. When all the medicinal ingredients have melted and the Innate Qi has consolidated, you must quickly circulate this incantation to absorb that Innate Qi."

Zhou Xi nodded at his words and replied in a low voice.

Qinchuan stopped talking and continued to add various medicinal ingredients into the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron.

Meanwhile, his hand seals changed, the temperature in the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron steadily increased, and the medicinal ingredients melted even faster.

Inside the cauldron, Zhou Xi felt it getting hotter and scorching, her whole body starting to redden and steam.

However, Qinchuan was not the least worried about Zhou Xi's safety.

With the protective power of the coolness of the Taiyin True Qi, such temperatures were not unbearable.

But to suffer some pain was inevitable.

Moments later.

Pain appeared on Zhou Xi's face as she felt as though her body might melt away.

Just then, Qinchuan suddenly said, "Circulate the oral incantation! The first strand of Innate Qi has appeared!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xi immediately circulated the oral incantation Qinchuan had taught her, absorbing the Innate Qi from within the cauldron.

During the process of absorbing the Innate Qi, Zhou Xi suddenly felt agitation from her Taiyin True Meridian within her body, and her meridians felt as though they were being torn apart, nearly causing her to faint from the pain.

"The path to becoming a strong warrior is never smooth. The greater the pain one can endure, the more powerful the strength one can achieve,"

"If you want to condense the most extreme Taiyin Treasure Body, the entrance of this first strand of Innate Qi is merely the beginning."

"If you can fully absorb and refine all nine strands of Innate Qi, then you can possess the most complete Taiyin Treasure Body, and your future path will be even broader."

Qinchuan stated flatly while continuously adding medicinal ingredients.

"I can endure it!"

Zhou Xi clenched her teeth and managed to speak with difficulty.

Qinchuan didn't have much to say.

A moment later.

The second stream of Innate Qi appeared, and Zhou Xi felt as if her entire body was being torn apart, the agony even greater than before.

"Absorbing two streams of Innate Qi is already sufficient to awaken the Taiyin Treasure Body. If you can't bear it, you can give up on the subsequent Innate Qi,"

Qinchuan stated.

Zhou Xi, clenching her teeth, made no sound but clearly had no intention of giving up.

Then, after successive absorption and refining of the third and fourth streams of Innate Qi.

Zhou Xi almost passed out, but ultimately she persevered, to Qinchuan's mild surprise.

"Unexpectedly, this woman is even tougher than I imagined. For a woman to endure such pain and possess such willpower is indeed rare."

Qinchuan continued to add the subsequent medicinal ingredients.

As more and more medicinal ingredients were added into the cauldron, its temperature also rose higher and higher.

And when the eighth stream of Innate Qi emerged, Zhou Xi couldn't help but scream in agony and finally passed out.

In the instant she fell unconscious.

Qinchuan swiftly slapped the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron, making Zhou Xi's figure immediately fly out of the cauldron, her luminous body bare.

Qinchuan quickly dressed, picking up the clothes that Zhou Xi had earlier removed from the ground and draping them over her body.

"Never expected you to absorb eight streams of Innate Qi; it seems I underestimated you,"

Qinchuan murmured, not expecting that she could actually endure the absorption of eight streams of Innate Qi. Such determination, at her age and realm, was truly extraordinary.

Without any delay, he reached out and grabbed Zhou Xi, using True Qi to make her sit up.

Afterward, Qinchuan sat cross-legged and tapped several acupoints on Zhou Xi repeatedly, finally releasing a palm filled with True Qi into her body, guiding the Innate Qi within Zhou Xi to circulate throughout her body.

Inside her, the Taiyin True Meridian began to absorb the Innate Qi frantically, growing wildly stronger.

Subsequently, every inch of Zhou Xi's flesh started to undergo a transformation.

A layer of translucent ice rapidly spread over Zhou Xi's entire body.

Qinchuan withdrew his True Qi.

Looking at the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron next to him, Qinchuan smiled slightly and said, "If that guy knew I used you to cook medicine, letting a woman take a medicinal bath in it, he'd probably fight me to the death."

"Buzz!"

The Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron floated into the air and vibrated slightly.

Qinchuan raised an eyebrow and declared, "He's no match for me."

The cauldron fell back to the ground as if deflated.

"That guy left a message saying that you could lead me to him. Do you know where he is?"

"He's really still alive, isn't he?"

Qinchuan seated himself at the table in the room, pouring himself a cup of tea.

"They say good people don't live long, but a scourge lasts a thousand years. That rascal, a brawler through and through, I never expected him to actually survive that life-and-death ordeal and continue to live."

Qinchuan, as if talking to himself, sipped the tea and then added, "That's good."

"Buzz buzz buzz!"

The Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron hummed.

Qinchuan shook his head: "I know what he meant by leaving you here; he wanted you to protect my path, didn't he?"

"He's underestimating me too much. Even though my cultivation level is not restored, I still possess an invincible aura unmatched in this world and need no one to guard my path."

As he spoke, an invincible aura naturally emanated from Qinchuan—this was a true invincible aura, forged in killing!
