The ancient palace was very safe. When Luo Lingyan saw Qin Xin hurriedly run to the side, she did not chase after him. Instead, she sat down cross-legged and activated the five-colored spiritual lotus with her breathing exercises.

She was as if she were wearing a colorful robe, and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth around her kept converging on her. After circulating through the body, it was transformed into pure true energy and stored in her dantian. In addition, the true energy in her dantian was also subtly changing in this process.

Qin Xin, who was standing to the side, was a little bored when he saw the veiled woman in front of him. He took out the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique that he had obtained from the bones of the senior and began to examine it.

The Desolate God Body Forging Technique is a beginner-level Xuan-rank martial art. It's a body-forging technique; beginners develop skin and bones of iron, making them impervious to ordinary swords and blades, and their physical strength rivals that of demonic beasts. Those who achieve minor mastery attain a jade-bone, golden-body form, further strengthening their bodies; their physical strength alone can shatter mountains, causing the earth to tremble with every step. Those who achieve great mastery attain the Desolate God Body; with its operation, the body's regenerative speed is greatly enhanced, even allowing severed limbs to regenerate.

Upon seeing this, Qin Xin's eyes revealed joy, but when he saw what was needed and how difficult it was to cultivate the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique, he couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Kid, this body-strengthening technique is pretty good. Mastering it will be of great help to you."

Danqing's voice resonated in his heart, indicating his approval of the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique.

"Teacher, don't you have many cultivation techniques? Do you have any more advanced body-strengthening techniques?"

Qin Xin showed no embarrassment and directly asked Dan Qing for martial arts techniques. However, Dan Qing seemed very stingy and after giving him the Earth-rank martial arts technique, he never gave him any other martial arts techniques.

"That Earth-rank martial art is already the worst I have. You can't cultivate anything else yet, so don't even think about it now," Danqing replied directly.

"Master, as your only disciple, I don't even have a single Heaven-rank martial art. Wouldn't it be embarrassing for you if I went out like this?"

Qin Xin did not give up the idea, but instead began to try to get Danqing to produce some more advanced techniques.

"Alright, kid, don't even think about those Heavenly Rank martial arts. With your current strength, you'd probably explode and die just from looking at them. Once you're stronger, your master will give them to you."

Danqing completely ignored Qin Xin's tricks and instead kept dangling empty promises at him.

"Stingy!"

Qin Xin muttered a dissatisfied remark. Because of the constant harassment, Dan Qing had no choice but to use a Heaven-Rank martial art. However, because Qin Xin's strength was too weak, he was unwilling to teach it, but he would suffer a backlash from the power of the Heaven-Rank martial art.

"You brat! Do you even know what it means to respect your teacher?!"

Danqing and Qin Xin started arguing without warning.

Qin Xin, after provoking Dan Qing, immediately shut down his mind, blocking out all of Dan Qing's curses, and instead devoted himself entirely to the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique.

"There were ancient gods of the wilderness!"

"It can tread upon the stars of countless worlds and feed on the sun!"

"With a wave of the hand, space is torn apart; the physical body is immortal and indestructible, able to rival the Heavenly Dao!"

A series of words floated in Qin Xin's mind, and then these words constructed the figure of an ancient, primordial god.

The figure was in a void, and the myriad stars of the world appeared small in comparison. With a wave of his hand, several beams of light continuously lit up his body, which stretched for thousands of miles, and converged at his heart, then burst forth with powerful energy.

"This Desolate God has no dantian!"

Qin Xin also noticed the phantom of the Desolate God before him. Its power came from its physical body, and its abdomen was empty, without any true qi. However, with just the power of its physical body, it could shatter a star with a light touch, and all the creatures within it would be annihilated in an instant, turning into a stream of pure qi that flowed into the body of the Desolate God.

After this power was injected, the figure of the desolate god seemed to grow a little longer, and its physique became even more powerful.

However, a streak of light suddenly flashed by, and the enormous figure of the Desolate God suddenly stopped, its skin cracking like ravines, its shape stretching for thousands of miles.

"This is terrifying!"

Qin Xin's eyes widened at this sight, partly in amazement at the power of the Desolate God's Body Tempering Technique, and partly in fear of the streak of light. The Desolate God's figure, stretching for thousands of miles, was instantly destroyed in a single encounter.

After seeing the last line of text after the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique, Qin Xin fell into deep thought!

"This body-tempering technique has been mastered by only one person in the Luo Shen Sect over tens of thousands of years. Any practitioner who cultivates it will eventually have their body petrified and perish if they do not have a different kind of fire to suppress the desolate energy. Future generations, be careful! Be careful!"

The cultivation method of this Desolate God Body Tempering Technique comes from the enlightenment of the Desolate God, but it is a low-level Xuan-rank body tempering martial art. This is mainly because the help this martial art provides to the martial artist in the early stage is far less than other body tempering martial arts. Moreover, it requires the assistance of a strange fire to cultivate. However, once it is mastered and the Desolate God Body is achieved, it is difficult for even some Heaven-rank martial arts to compare with it. However, the difficulty of its cultivation is self-evident.

"Since we don't have any special fire yet, I'm afraid we won't be able to cultivate for a while."

Qin Xin felt somewhat helpless upon seeing the warning at the back.

"Hmph! You brat, have you forgotten about your master?"

Just as he released his mind from the immersion in martial arts, Danqing's somewhat dissatisfied voice came out.

"Does the teacher have a solution?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xin's hope for cultivating the Desolate God Body Technique was rekindled, and he asked with shining eyes.

"Of course I do. Why don't you just borrow my strange fire?"

Danqing spoke with a hint of disdain. Although Qin Xin couldn't see it, he could sense that the white-bearded old man, Danqing, was rolling his eyes.

"If I use this strange fire, I wonder if it will have any effect on the teacher?"

Although Qin Xin was happy, he knew that Danqing's spiritual body could be maintained mainly by the power of this strange fire. Otherwise, even the strongest spiritual body would have collapsed in the tens of thousands of months of this long river of time.

"You're still a decent kid. It does have an impact, but it's nothing I can do. Just focus on your cultivation. When that desolate energy appears, I'll help you get rid of it," Danqing said confidently.

Seeing this, Qin Xin didn't hesitate. He swallowed the Qi Restoration Pill, adjusted his state, studied the Qi circulation path of the Desolate God Body Tempering Technique, and then closed his eyes.

Several beams of true energy lit up on Qin Xin's body in a certain pattern. After a while, a mysterious power seemed to leave its mark from the void and flow into Qin Xin's body.

This mysterious power was extremely violent, completely different from true qi and the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. After entering various parts of the body, it continuously devoured the flesh and blood within. In just an instant, Qin Xin's face turned pale, and he himself became thinner.

"Teacher!" Qin Xin exclaimed inwardly upon seeing this scene.

"It's alright," Danqing said softly.

Immediately afterwards, golden light flashed on Qin Xin's body, and flames full of life force rushed directly towards the desolate energy. Through refining, the desolate energy, which was originally violent, suddenly became peaceful and began to merge into his flesh and bones.

"hiss!"

The pain from the fusion felt like countless ants constantly biting at my body, and I almost had a mental breakdown and fell into a deep sleep.

"Hold on!" Danqing shouted softly.

If one falls into a deep sleep, the refined desolate energy will dissipate directly, thus rendering all efforts futile.

After several repetitions, Danqing became somewhat exhausted, while Qin Xin used the refined desolate energy to strengthen various parts of his body.

To test the effects of the desolate energy, Qin Xin poured it all into his right hand. At this moment, Qin Xin's right hand was surrounded by mysterious air currents, and his flesh and bones were undergoing transformation.

With a light clench of his right hand, a powerful surge of blood energy erupted, seemingly distinct from the rest of his body.

Having tasted success, Qin Xin focused intently on strengthening his right hand, momentarily forgetting the passage of time outside.
