This was the Flawless Saint Body. Not a single hidden injury or flaw remained within him, and his potential was now perfect. It was the most supreme of physiques.
A torrent of medicinal power surged through his entire body. Veins bulged on Qin Feng's skin, twisting and squirming like earthworms. Soon, they covered his entire body, and even the fine meridians on his forehead swelled as if they were about to burst.
Qin Feng knew this meant his body's ability to absorb had reached its limit. The medicinal potency of the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill was too strong; this was merely one percent of it.
Qin Feng was prepared for this situation. He formed a seal technique with his hands, and the power of the Taixu Mixed One Spirit Stealing Technique surged. He locked away the remaining potency of the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill, sealing it to be slowly refined in the future.
Even though he had only absorbed one percent of the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill's potency, his entire body felt completely renewed, as if reborn. The bottleneck that had once shackled him was gone. A brand-new power surged within him, several times stronger than before.
Thousand Jins of Elephant Throwing Power!
Qin Feng swung his arm and formed a Fist Seal, his power like a landslide or a tsunami. Forcibly suppressing the urge to unleash it, he thought joyfully,
'In the Early Stage of Martial Arts Third Heaven, blood is like mercury and lead. Right now, my blood is being baptized by the power of the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill and is rapidly transforming. You could say I'm improving with every passing moment. Blood is the mother of Qi, and Qi is the commander of blood. Next, I just need to thoroughly temper all the blood in my body until it reaches the state where it rumbles like spring thunder. Then I can enter the Martial Arts Third Great Perfection. After that, once I comprehend Qi Sensing and produce a sliver of Inner Breath from the "spring thunder" in my blood, I'll be able to fully step into the Martial Arts Fourth Heaven!'
'And now, my constitution has been completely transformed into a Flawless Saint Body. My cultivation will surely advance by leaps and bounds. I think I'll definitely be able to break through to the Martial Arts Fourth Heaven in a month at most!'
Qin Feng's eyes shone brilliantly, like timeless stars. All the gloom of the recent past was swept away, replaced by an indescribable feeling of exhilaration bubbling up from the bottom of his heart. He rose to his feet, unable to resist the urge to let out a long, loud roar.
He forcibly suppressed the impulse, his heart surging with emotion. At this moment, he had finally shed the label of "trash." A Flawless Saint Body, absolutely perfect. Such aptitude would be considered top-tier even in an entire Commandery Kingdom. As long as he cultivated diligently, restoring his peak cultivation was just a matter of time. He could even go further and take that crucial step he had failed to take in his previous life.
Calming his mind, his gaze swept around, finally landing on the pill furnace in the center. A faint trace of reluctance appeared in his eyes. With his current cultivation, he couldn't open the pill furnace, let alone refine elixirs.
'I can only leave this pill furnace here for now!'
Pushing aside the trace of regret in his heart, Qin Feng hurried toward the exit.
In the ancient temple, the stench of blood was rampant. Outside the dilapidated temple, large crocodiles with bronze-colored scales lay cold on the rocks. These overlords of the swamp had already lost all their vitality. The swamp was in disarray, clear evidence of a recent, brutal battle.
Outside the ancient temple, two groups of people were in a standoff. One side was led by a large man in green robes. This man had a profound aura, and one could tell at a glance that he was not to be trifled with. His face was grim, his anger brewing. He had arrived a step too late, missing his chance to enter the Earth Palace.
In the blink of an eye, the cicada had slipped away, leaving the hunter, the oriole, and the mantis all dumbfounded.
He had originally planned to deal with Qin Muyun's group and then study the entrance mechanism carefully. However, just as he was about to silence them for good, they were rescued by the arriving Qin Family members.
The other side consisted of the young masters of the Qin Family, led by a cool and handsome youth. He had sword-like brows, star-like eyes, and wore a Bauhinia Crown, possessing an extraordinary air. To his left was the Qin Family's Sixth Young Master, Qin Muyun. His sinister gaze was fixed malevolently on the green-robed man, his hatred undisguised. He had just had a brush with death and was nearly silenced. If the Qin Family members hadn't arrived in time, he would have died under the blade without ever obtaining the secret.
But as his gaze occasionally swept over a few of his brothers, his expression turned grim. It was clear that his every move had not escaped their notice. 'Have I just become their pawn?'
To the right was the Qin Family's First Young Master, Qin Shu. He had a steady expression. For some unknown reason, he was acting as if the Seventh Young Master, Qin Fang, was the leader, willingly taking a subordinate position.
The Fifth Young Master, Qin Muhai, stood behind him. When his gaze occasionally swept over Qin Muyun, his eyes held a trace of mockery. However, he was very discreet about it, and no one else noticed.
"Seventh Young Master, must you really make things difficult for me?" the green-robed man said lightly, facing the members of the Qin Family.
A flash of annoyance crossed Qin Fang's eyes. In truth, from the moment Qin Muyun made his move, he had understood the whole situation. He had even taken note of the unusual actions of the other young masters of the Qin Family.
The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind!
He was that cunning oriole. He had long since considered Qin Feng's secret to be his for the taking, and his brothers were merely pawns in his hand.
It was all to draw out Qin Feng's secret!
Although he didn't know what Qin Feng's secret was, his intuition told him it was extremely important, and he had made thorough preparations for it.
However, plans could not keep up with changes. The Ning Family had interfered, and now the situation's development had spiraled beyond his control.
Yet, the more this was the case, the less he could afford to give up. He had been at the Peak of the Martial Arts Third Heaven for some time now, but he had been unable to comprehend Qi Sensing and produce Inner Breath.
