C28 Embarrassment
Ever since Qin Yuan was young, his body was nourished by the cultivation method crystal and after he became a martial artist, he had also taken the Dragon and Wolf Body Transforming Pill. As a result, his injuries recovered at a rate far surpassing that of an ordinary person, much to Xiao Qi's surprise.
However, Qin Yuan was currently facing an important problem — he was running out of time. After two more days, there was only a month left until the family's Martial Meeting.
According to the speed of advancement of a normal warrior, it would take at least half a year for a 5-star warrior to reach the 6-star level. Although Qin Yuan's speed of improvement was terrifying, it was impossible for him to reach the 6-star level within a month even with such a long period of time.
After considering it over and over again, Qin Yuan decided to use the method he did not want to use the most.
"That... Xiao Qi. " Qin Yuan sat beside Xiao Qi, who was lighting a fire to cook the rations.
Xiao Qi choked on her cigarette, coughed to wipe the dust off her face, and turned around to ask, "What's wrong?" This isn't like you. "
After hesitating for a moment, Qin Yuan straightened his back and tried to make his words simple and understandable, "It's like this … If I am injured and my training is delayed, I might not be able to make it to become a Six Star Warrior in the next few days. "
Xiao Qi still did not believe that someone could jump from a 5-star to a 6-star in a month's time. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Even if you're not injured, you won't make it in time!"
"BOOM!"
Qin Yuan gave Xiao Qi a bellow and continued, "Don't interrupt. However, I have a method that might be able to increase my strength rapidly and raise my cultivation level by one star within a month. "However, this method will cause you some harm, so …"
She could tell that Qin Yuan was seriously discussing the matter with her. Without even asking what harm it was, she agreed. "If there really is such a method, I'm willing to help you."
Qin Yuan was stunned and asked subconsciously, "Why didn't you ask what the damage was?"
Xiao Qi smiled indifferently, her bright eyes like stars in the sky: "Although I'm a little stupid, but I believe you, if it's too serious of an injury, you would definitely not mention it to me."
Qin Yuan felt warmth in his heart and explained, "It's true that it won't cause too much damage, but it will definitely harm your Martial Seal. Without a special method, it will take at least half a year to recover. "During this period of time, your training speed will become slower …"
"That's it?" Xiao Qi asked doubtfully.
Qin Yuan nodded.
This was the method that Qin Yuan wanted to use. He wanted to use the Reverse Universe Art to absorb Xiao Qi's Martial Seal in order to speed up the advancement to six stars. Although the Martial Seal would not cause irreversible damage after being absorbed, it would slow down one's cultivation after half a year. It was hard for any martial artist to accept this.
From before, Qin Yuan had been happy with the method of reversing the absorption of the Heaven and Earth Art to increase the Mortal Martial Seal's cultivation. However, he had suffered for not having the opportunity to do so and had only seized Qin Zhuo's Sharp Edge Martial Seal.
"It's only been half a year. After recovering, wouldn't it be fine to spend more time to rush back?" Xiao Qi did not care and puffed out her proud chest. "Don't look at me like that, I'm a genius in the family!"
Qin Yuan laughed involuntarily. After some thought, he stuffed a jade pendant into Xiao Qi's hands and said seriously, "Xiao Qi, this jade pendant is for you. If you have anything you want me to do in the future, take out this jade pendant. No matter what, no matter how difficult, I will definitely do it for you! "
Xiao Qi felt the jade pendant still warm from Qin Yuan's body and could not hide the joy in her heart, which turned into a smile. After hearing Qin Yuan's words, she was a little angry. "You gave me the jade pendant just for this!"
"Huh?" Qin Yuan was stupefied by Xiao Qi's question. "If you don't like this jade pendant, then I'll just change it to a keepsake …"
In his previous life, Qin Yuan had never been in a relationship even up to the time he climbed the mountain and fell from the cliff. In his current life, Qin Yuan had never been in a relationship even up to the time he climbed the mountain and fell from the cliff.
Xiao Qi put the jade pendant into her pocket. "No matter what, you've already given it to me. It's mine!"
Qin Yuan felt his head grow heavy. This was the first time he felt like Xiao Qi's brain wasn't that straightforward …
After eating, Qin Yuan called out to Xiao Qi to prepare to absorb the Martial Seal.
Xiao Qi's Martial Seal attribute was "Ice Vein", a three star top grade item. It was not far from Qin Jue's four star Common Grade. Due to the attribute of the Ice Vein Martial Seal, the astral energy that Xiao Qi cultivated had an ice-cold attribute. The longer they fought with her, the slower the astral energy in their body circulated.
When he had entered the teahouse that day, Qin Yuan had casually mentioned that he would absorb an ice attribute martial art imprint in the future. He hadn't thought that it would actually come true.
Xiao Qi looked at Qin Yuan's burning gaze and felt a little scared. She probed, "Then … What am I going to do? "
Qin Yuan shook his head and said, "You don't need to do anything, but the process might be a little painful. Just hold it in."
The two of them sat cross-legged facing each other. After confirming that Xiao Qi was ready, Qin Yuan stretched out his right hand towards her lower abdomen.
Like a frightened cat, Xiao Qi quickly took a few steps back. "What are you doing?"
"Nothing …" Qin Yuan exhaled helplessly and explained, "This process requires me to touch your lower abdomen before it can continue."
Girls maturing at an early age, even someone as honest as Xiao Qi, had long understood a lot of things. Returning back to her original position doubtfully, Xiao Qi's face was as red as a ripe apple. Her voice trembled as she said, "Come!"
Qin Yuan circulated the Supreme Force again and stretched out his right hand to touch Xiao Qi's lower abdomen. He immediately felt her body tremble slightly.
"I'm about to begin."
Xiao Qi closed her eyes, gritting her teeth as she gently nodded.
"Why do I feel like something isn't quite right …" Qin Yuan silently cursed.
Qin Yuan gritted his teeth, and without any further delay, he used the reverse Qi of Heaven and Earth Art to absorb the Martial Seal. The center of his right palm slowly formed a spiral of astral energy as he fiercely tore at Xiao Qi's dantian.
"En!" Xiao Qi couldn't help but snort. It was as if the Martial Seal in her Dantian was being torn apart by a giant invisible hand. It was so painful that her body was trembling violently, and there were faint traces of tears at the corners of her eyes.
"Does it hurt? Should I stop first? " Qin Yuan asked subconsciously, but as soon as he spoke, he felt that something was even more off.
Xiao Qi forcefully shook her head, indicating that Qin Yuan could continue.
"What am I thinking at a time like this!"
Focusing his mind and stabilizing the roiling Supreme Force in his right palm, Qin Yuan steeled his heart and increased the rate of absorption.
Longer pain is better than shorter pain!
Ah!
Under the intense pain, Xiao Qi finally couldn't help but cry out. However, Qin Yuan had also completed absorbing the Martial Seal at this time.
Qin Yuan withdrew his palm, restrained his aura, and did not immediately refine and absorb the Ice Vein Martial Seal. Instead, he smacked the ground and leaped up, catching Xiao Qi who had almost fallen due to the pain and asked worriedly, "Xiao Qi, are you alright?"
Xiao Qi wiped the tears from the corner of her eyes, took a deep breath, and shook her head. "I'm fine, just that the process really hurts a bit …" "Also, I feel as if my Martial Seal has cracked, and my circulation of the astral energy is somewhat blocked."
"It's good that you're fine …" Qin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and helped Little Seven to sit down. He said, "For the next two days, don't use force. Rest more. And … "Thank you!"
Xiao Qi's pale lips lifted into a smile, making Qin Yuan's heart ache. "If you want to thank me, then treat me to a big meal when we get back!"
"You only know how to eat!"
