The cultivation of the Desolate God Body Forging Technique requires a massive amount of blood energy to support it. After Qin Xin only completed a slight strengthening of his right hand, the blood energy in his body began to become somewhat unstable, so he had to quickly stop cultivating. Moreover, because he needed to refine the desolate energy, the use of the strange fire also put a great burden on Dan Qing's spiritual body.

However, being able to cultivate was already very good news for Qin Xin. As for cultivating the Desolate God Body, Qin Xin hadn't thought that far ahead yet.

With a gentle exhale, the turbid qi in his body was instantly expelled. Now, the true qi of the nine main meridians in Qin Xin's body is merging with each other. Within the Fire-Wood Martial Pill, the two surging true qi powers are clearly distinct. As they transform into each other, the true qi becomes even purer. This is also a characteristic given by the Fire-Wood Martial Pill.

As for entering the Enlightenment Realm, Qin Xin is not in a hurry. Instead, he chooses to accumulate more true qi in his main meridians. After cultivating with Luo Lingyan, he also has a lot of Luo Shen flower power in his body. Not only have he opened up two main meridians, but other main meridians have also been expanded to varying degrees.

The main meridian is a very important meridian for martial artists. It is an important channel connecting the martial core and the surface of the martial artist's body. The wider the main meridian is, the more changes in true qi can be generated in an instant, and the stronger the power will be. To give an analogy, if the martial core of a martial artist is a water pump, then the main meridian is the water pipe. The greater the power of the water pump and the narrower the water pipe, the stronger the power that the martial artist can exert.

After finishing his cultivation, Qin Xin slowly opened his eyes.

"Hold!"

A startled cry echoed through the ancient hall.

The moment Qin Xin opened his eyes, he saw Luo Lingyan's clear eyes, but there was a coldness in them. She held an ancient longsword with a blue hilt in her hand, pointing it at his manhood, as if she was caught in a dilemma.

Qin Xin had been so engrossed in his cultivation that he forgot to use his spiritual sense to be on alert of his surroundings, which is why he was so startled when he woke up and saw this scene.

“Miss Luo…”

Qin Xin felt a chill beneath his body. He had already communicated with Dan Qing. Luo Lingyan was at the half-step Qi Sea Realm, and Qin Xin couldn't possibly escape on his own. However, if he forced his way in, Dan Qing would have to take some unknown risks to help Qin Xin escape.

"Oh well! So be it!"

As Luo Lingyan gently swayed the ancient longsword in her hand, her delicate brows furrowed tightly. Finally, she let out a deep sigh and then sheathed the sword.

Seeing Luo Lingyan withdraw her intimidating aura, Qin Xin sighed inwardly, but still instinctively protected his lower body and took a few steps back warily.

"Since Miss Luo has forgiven me, I shall take my leave now."

Qin Xin was extremely nervous, fearing that the girl in front of him would change her mind and he would run away.

Luo Lingyan did not reply, but stood quietly in place, watching the boy's departing figure. Beneath the thin veil covering her face, her lips, as red as the sunset, parted slightly.

"I still couldn't help but soften my heart." A soft sigh echoed through the ancient hall.

Luo Lingyan once made a vow to leave her virginity to the person who would stay with her for life, but that person must be someone who can stand tall and support her.

But the man in front of her was clearly different from the one she had imagined. Even though the determination in Qin Xin's eyes moved her for a moment, she still felt a strange feeling whenever she thought of the figure that stood in front of her.

But she didn't know what this strange feeling was. Perhaps it was because her background was different from ordinary people. She had never had any romantic feelings for her children, nor had she ever been close to any man. Qin Xin's appearance made her feel warm and that someone was protecting her.

"Sigh! Anyway, I'll be powerless to change things in the future. Maybe this is fate!" A soft sigh revealed countless feelings of helplessness.

Qin Xin, who hurriedly left the ancient hall, was unaware of Luo Lingyan's exclamation. Still in shock from the long sword, he only wanted to leave the ruins of the Luo Shen Gate as soon as possible.

~~~~~~

The moment Qin Xin stepped out of the ancient hall, he sensed several powerful auras emanating from beneath the bluestone steps. With a furrowed brow, he still chose to descend.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, rather than facing Luo Lingyan behind him who made him feel awkward, he would rather go and meet these people who had designs on him.

"Qin Xin, we meet again!"

As Qin Xin lightly leaped down from the ancient hall, Xia Qi, dressed in plain clothes, and Xia Ming, holding a folding fan, appeared directly in front of Qin Xin and blocked his way. Of course, Qin Xin also saw Ba Dao behind Xia Ming, who was holding a large sword. Underneath his bare clothes, there were some terrifying scars that were shocking to behold.

Seeing that the person in front of him was coming with great force, Qin Xin knew that things were not going well. He used his spiritual sense to observe the surroundings and immediately planned an escape route, ready to flee at any time.

"Brothers, why are you doing this?"

Xia Yue, who had been waiting nearby, also came over. Seeing her two usually at odds suddenly joining forces, she couldn't help but be surprised.

The group from Donghuang Academy saw that Qin Xin was being blocked, so they all came over.

"Why do you gentlemen intend to attack the people of my Eastern Wilderness Academy?"

Shi Shan, holding a shield that looked as if it were cast from black gold, with several smooth lines flowing across it, stepped forward and stared directly at Ba Dao, who was holding a large sword. He seemed to be still not satisfied with the fight, and his eyes were full of fighting spirit.

When Ba Dao saw Shi Shan's provocation, he let out a soft snort. Because he had to protect the Fifth Prince Xia Ming, Ba Dao had been holding back and could not fight Shi Shan with all his might. In the end, Shi Shan was the only one who could take away the shield artifact.

Although the others from the Eastern Wilderness Academy remained silent, they were all quietly circulating their true energy, seemingly preparing to clash directly with the two princes. However, Lin Jinglei was the only one missing from this group, as it seemed he had left after seizing the spiritual weapon from the Refining Pool Hall.

"My Great Xia Dynasty has no desire to be enemies with you all, but this brat has stolen my spiritual weapon." Xia Ming smiled as he looked at the people from the Eastern Wilderness Academy and spoke with his head held high.

"Of course, I once lost a local-level martial art without explanation, and I suspect it's in Qin Xin's hands. As long as he hands over his Qiankun bag, I can search it." Xia Qi said directly.

Before he could finish speaking, a giant two-headed dragon coiled up behind him.

"Seven-Star Martial Spirit, Two-Headed Illusionary Spirit Dragon!"

The martial artists watching the spectacle exclaimed in surprise. Qin Xin also took a look at the martial spirit behind Xia Qi and found that the martial spirit's aura was somewhat unstable, but it revealed a dangerous feeling.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

With a soft thud, the students from the Eastern Wilderness Academy also directly activated their martial spirits.

The entire Luoshen Palace fell silent instantly, with only the whooshing sound of true energy circulating.
