After exploring the fifth floor, Qin Xin set his sights on a martial arts manual that emitted a fiery red light.
Through his spiritual sense, Qin Xin could vaguely sense that this martial art was related to the physical body and could cause great injury to the enemy through the instantaneous burst of one's own power in close combat.
Although Qin Xin now possesses the Desolate God Battle Body, which makes his physical body even stronger, he also has the Heavenly Phoenix Battle Armor formed by the first Nirvana of the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Spirit Pattern, which greatly increases his own defense.
However, because he had never had any corresponding martial arts techniques to assist him, Qin Xin could only rely on his instincts in every close combat engagement and was unable to unleash the true strength of his physical body.
However, Qin Xin did not make a decision immediately. His instincts led him to explore the sixth floor again. If he encountered other suitable martial arts here, he would have another option.
Upon arriving at the sixth floor, Qin Xin glanced around and saw only five martial arts manuals, which looked quite ordinary.
Just as he was about to return to the sixth floor to retrieve the physical technique, the mysterious fragment suddenly emitted a fluctuation, which surprised Qin Xin for a moment.
At the same time, one of the five martial arts manuals suddenly burst out with a dazzling white light and continuously emitted waves, as if trying to break through the energy shield.
"Bang!"
The light shield suddenly shattered, and an extremely ancient-looking scroll fell directly into Qin Xin's hands.
Then everything around him returned to normal. Qin Xin, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, looked at the ancient scroll in his hand with a look of astonishment, because it was not he who chose this thing, but this thing that chose him.
Upon seeing the martial arts scroll in Qin Xin's hand, Feng Lian, who was resting with his eyes closed, also showed some surprise.
"How did you manage to take this out!" Feng Lian said in surprise. "This sword technique is just a fragment of a scroll. It has existed in the Self-Management Martial Tower for a long time. All the successive sect leaders and elders of the Tianxuan Sect have tried to learn it, but none of them could figure out how to cultivate it. They had been planning to remove the scroll and had forgotten about it. I didn't expect you to take it out. Why don't you choose a different martial art?"
Upon hearing Feng Lian's words, Qin Xin's heart wavered somewhat. After all, the strength of the previous Tianxuan Sect Masters and Elders was terrifying, yet they had not been able to understand this incomplete sword technique scroll, so it was even more impossible for him to do so.
However, the things that the mysterious fragments and the spirit-devouring stones triggered each time were never ordinary objects, so Qin Xin still wanted to study them this time.
"This disciple is quite interested in this and would like to try to study it," Qin Xin said after examining the scroll in his hand.
Seeing Qin Xin's persistence, Feng Lan had no choice but to say softly, "Remember, this martial art cannot be forcibly cultivated. After three days, you need to return the original scroll to the Martial Tower. Do not take it out of Tianxuan Mountain. Of course, you can also cultivate it directly within the Martial Tower."
Qin Xin nodded. Since the operation of the mysterious fragment required a large amount of mental energy, if it were inside the Martial Tower, some clues might be discovered. Therefore, Qin Xin decided to return to his residence to study it further.
“Disciples of the Tianxuan Sect can only choose to practice the next martial art after they have fully comprehended the previous one. Your situation is special, so you are able to choose one more.”
With Feng Lian's help, Qin Xin naturally took out the fire-attribute physical technique without hesitation. Although it was only a mid-level Xuan-rank martial art, if it were cultivated to perfection, a single swing of the technique would unleash fire-attribute true energy capable of piercing through a small mountain.
After completing the registration, Qin Xin left the Martial Tower with two martial arts scrolls in his hands, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Although the martial arts scroll must be returned to the Martial Tower within three days, if a disciple has not fully memorized the contents of the scroll, he/she can continue to study it in the Martial Tower for a period of time until he/she has fully memorized it.
After leaving the Martial Tower, Qin Xin headed towards the pavilion where he lived.
He had only taken a few steps when he heard a violent explosion coming from the mountainside. Qin Xin was very familiar with this sound, as it was the sound of a furnace exploding.
"Judging from the location, it should be the medicinal field where Ling Hanyan is located."
The Qin clan stopped and watched for a while, because it was very common for alchemists to have their furnaces explode when refining pills. However, it also carried considerable risks, and many alchemists had died in such explosions.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Xin still headed down the mountain. His initial impression of Ling Hanyan was quite good.
If there are no problems, he can go back to the pavilion to study the two martial arts manuals he just acquired.
Qin Xin walked towards the mountainside, occasionally catching whiffs of the delicate fragrance of medicinal pills, but this fragrance seemed to contain extremely explosive fire-attribute energy.
Upon arriving at the location of the medicinal field, Qin Xin immediately sensed the explosive fire attribute aura emanating from it.
"What's going on?!"
Qin Xin was somewhat surprised, because there were many spiritual herbs in the medicinal field outside, but now, under the sweep of this explosive fire attribute aura, they had all been destroyed and lost their spiritual energy.
At this moment, Qin Xin couldn't care less about anything else and walked anxiously toward his dantian.
Qin Xin stopped in front of a bamboo house, because the explosive fire-attribute aura was emanating from there.
Qin Xin braced himself and pushed open the door of the bamboo house. A woman with her eyes tightly closed and an explosive fire aura emanating from her body appeared directly in front of Qin Xin.
Fortunately, the woman's clothes were not completely destroyed by the violent fire aura. Although a large amount of her body was exposed, her most important parts were still covered.
"Oh no! It seems this girl suffered a backlash from refining a seventh-grade pill!"
Danqing's voice also rang urgently in Qin Xin's heart.
Upon hearing about the backlash from the elixir, Qin Xin was also somewhat terrified, as he, being a fellow alchemist, was naturally very familiar with the dangers involved.
The advancement of an alchemist is different from the cultivation of a martial artist. It requires gradual accumulation over time. Therefore, to cultivate a high-level alchemist, it means that countless spiritual herbs will be consumed, which is beyond the reach of ordinary families and sects.
Of course, some alchemists, after staying at a certain grade for a long time, want to try to refine higher-grade pills. If they make a mistake in the refining process, at best the pill will be destroyed and the furnace will explode, and at worst, like Ling Hanyan now, they will be directly devoured by the pill energy and eventually die from exhaustion.
Danqing immediately informed Qin Xin of the method for removing the elixir energy.
However, to perform this technique, one must remove the opponent's clothes so that the direction of the veins can be better identified.
Upon hearing Danqing's method, Qin Xin's first thought was to refuse. After all, he had always felt it was inappropriate to help Xia Yue resolve the martial spirit's hidden dangers. He blamed himself for being too young at the time and neglecting the matter of a girl's chastity.
