Chapter 186: The Pain of Tempering the Body

After a moment, the white vapor turned into some ice crystals, sticking all around and protecting the meridians from erosion by the strange fire.

As the ice layer condensed from the Ice Spirit Cold Spring continually melted and reformed.

Originally, the ice layer could barely match the previous Qinglian Earth Core Fire, but suddenly it could barely hold up.

As the blue-green lava flowed over, the thick ice layer turned out to be less than half its original thickness.

Moreover, most of the released cold vapor was burned away by the blue-green flame into nothingness.

This situation was undoubtedly making a bad situation worse.

This made the Ice Spirit Cold Spring unable to resist the erosion of the strange fire any longer.

What's worse, as the Qinglian Earth Core Fire was forced to run continuously along the Fen Jue technique's route, it also seemed to instinctively sense a hint of unease.

Instantly, the blue-green flame, which had grown mild after running for a long time, became violent again.

And the Ice Spirit Cold Spring, severely depleted of energy and extremely fragile, finally could not hold up and dissipated completely.

The strange fire seed flowed along the meridians, and wherever it passed, the withered meridians regained vitality.

But its current remedial measure also made Qinglian quite pleased.

At this moment, the Zhu Bin Earth Core Fire inside my body, under someone's control, ended up flowing in seven places outside the meridians.

In some finer places, the meridians gradually began to knot.

The terrifying cold threw my internal state into utter chaos.

However, the defensive power and sensitivity to heavenly and earthly energy of that tender skin were actually several times weaker than later.

And as the blue-green lava finished circulating outside the technique's route, the pain inside Qinglian's body that was making me about to faint finally dissipated quickly.

That appearance, at a glance, could frighten even the bold into fainting.

With the slow consumption of battle qi, the battle crystal inside my body also quickly became capable on its own.

In the slight wriggling, it actually gradually merged into the seven walls of the meridians.

When the first thread of battle qi inside the sea-urchin-shaped battle crystal was exhausted, the strange fire seed finally broke out onto the initial segment of the Fen Jue technique's circulation route.

Faced with that situation, Qinglian could only grit her teeth and resist.

During the wriggling, the blue-green flame cover, like an egg, enveloped me.

As the cold spring retreated into Zhu Bin's body, in an instant, a piercing blue-green flame cover shot out from within my body.

In an instant, the violent, scorching blue-green flame directly contacted Lin Feng's meridians.

Otherwise, if the strange fire backlashed, I would probably be turned to ashes on the spot today.

This caused my battle qi circulation to become quite blocked.

Feeling the situation inside, Qinglian heaved a deep sigh, and a smile immediately filled her face.

Afterwards, the efficiency of the Fen Jue technique absorbing battle qi became increasingly smooth.

Instantly, the meridians that had been dehydrated and made brittle as chips by the roasting of the strange fire seed, like grass encountering water in a desert, quickly unfurled.

The newly grown skin on the body's surface became very fair, like a boy's skin.

Obviously, the Naling Earth Core Fire scorched my body all over, although it caused both major and minor damage to the internal organs.

The violent Naling Earth Core Fire came into intimate contact with Qinglian's meridians.

In delight, a thread of battle qi shot from the fingers, carrying a faint sound, flying toward the piece of Zhu Bin beneath the floor.

As time passed, the keratin layer produced by the Earth Core Lotus Seed energy had completely melted away.

However, Qinglian, fully focused on mobilizing battle qi and pushing the strange fire along the later line of the Fen Jue technique's route, knew the current situation inside my body.

Facing this terrifying high temperature, even the blue-green keratin layer previously produced by the Earth Core Lotus Seed energy quickly began to melt.

As the flames' violence subsided, a hint of gentleness subtly emanated.

Furthermore, the muscles and organs injured when Qinglian devoured the strange fire were also repairing themselves at a pleasingly slow pace.

Immediately, I plunged headfirst into the Fen Jue technique.

As the molten lava, bubbling with faint blue-green flames, drilled outward from the meridians.

Previously, attached to this, the meridian walls, having been damaged, nearly lost their capacity to hold battle qi.

Qinglian slightly sensed it; upon seeing that the Zhu Bin Earth Core Fire had not yet reached the first segment of the meridians in the Fen Jue technique, she gave up the idea of taking a Vital Energy Returning Pill and continued to drive the strange fire forward.

That situation made the alchemy room instantly fall silent.

These meridians inside my body all emitted sounds of excitement at this moment.

Afterwards, Qinglian placed the cold spring flat in her palm and quickly struck it toward her abdomen.

Based on the current situation, I know that I have basically finished consuming it on my own.

At the same time, strands of blue-green lava continuously separated out from within.

Even the surface of Qinglian's body was rapidly recovering.

The body's surface also, due to the strange fire's cold damage, ended up cracking open in fissures.

That gray boulder suddenly merged into Qinglian's body.

Long before, as layer after layer of dried, dead skin fell off.

And the repaired meridians, muscles, etc., their toughness far exceeded the weakness after consuming the strange fire.

The skin all over the body continuously bled, gradually soaking Qinglian's body into a blood-red hue.

Only the surface of the blue-green flame cover remained here, flickering on and off.

Moreover, just a moment ago, this cold gradually gathered and retreated into the magma.

The scorching-cold blue-green flames churning beneath completely isolated me from the inner realm.

However, since Lin Feng's means were exhausted at this point, he could only watch helplessly as this unfolded.

Under the pull of battle qi, this lump of cold spring turned into a gray gleam, winding its way to my hand.

Following that came an unprecedented intense pain.

I only know that my whole body is feeling a burning pain coming from the break.

At this moment, the Zhu Bin Earth Core Fire's released extremely destructive low temperature still cannot harm the Qing Lian in the slightest.

When it comes to the quality of body tempering, the degree of improvement from this Beast Fire body tempering can possibly be compared to that Nascent Spirit Earth Core Fire.

After a short while, the greenish lava had completely repaired and upgraded my body.

The scorching cold low temperature roasted my meridians until they were twisted and broken.

These cracks beneath my skin are actually rapidly fusing.

The greenish gloomy light intermittently projected onto the surrounding walls, like rippling green water patterns...

Although, when swallowing the Beast Fire later, it can also incidentally improve my physique.

The greenish lava left behind by the Nascent Spirit Earth Core Fire along the way will be rapidly devoured by these meridians that are not yet dried out, at a terrifying speed.
