Fantasy: I'm in a discarded alchemy room, but I can turn trash into treasure!

Hua Meiniang increased the pressure on her feet.

Xiao Tong's face was pressed against the cold stone slab, his teeth were bleeding, and he let out a few muffled groans.

Blood trickled down the corner of his mouth, meandering through the cracks in the rocks.

He clenched his fingers tightly, trying to activate his golden core, but the Netherworld Softening Powder had already penetrated his meridians. As soon as his dantian began to circulate, his limbs twitched, and even his strength to struggle was gradually drained away.

Xiao Lie, standing next to him, wasn't much better off.

His hands were tied behind his back by Luo Xiaoman, and he lay sprawled on the ground in a disheveled state, his shoulder bones almost dislocated.

The Spirit-Binding Rope at his waist had already fallen into Cang Wuyue's hands. Even after being freed from the restraints of the magic weapon, he still dared not make any rash moves.

Hua Meiniang glanced around at the Xiao clan cultivators, whose faces turned pale and whose hands trembled slightly as they gripped their swords.

A cold smile curled at the corner of her lips, and she stomped her foot again.

"Don't just stand there, tie these two up first."

Cang Wuyue untied the Spirit-Binding Rope and wrapped it around Xiao Lie several times.

The runes on the rope lit up, sealing his dantian and meridians.

Following her example, Luo Xiaoman tied Xiao Tong up as well.

Xiao Tong's face was covered in blood, and his chest ached with a tightness in his chest.

He, a dignified Golden Core cultivator of the Xiao family, was actually knocked down by three injured women using poison, and his face was even stepped on in front of so many people.

If this gets back to the Xiao family, how will he ever be able to face anyone again?

"Get your foot off!"

Xiao Tong's neck tensed, and his voice changed tone.

Hua Meiniang looked down at him, her feet not faltering at all.

"Weren't you just going to cripple our cultivation? Why are you lying down now?"

Xiao Tong's fingertips dug into the crack in the ground, and his nails broke off on the spot.

Xiao Lie was unable to move due to the binding rope, and could only turn his head to look outside the camp.

"Master Jingxing, save us!"

As soon as the sound rang out, the Xiao clan cultivators around them made way.

A figure emerged from behind the collapsed array platform.

With each step Xiao Jingxing took forward, the flames on the ground dimmed.

The nascent soul's true essence spread out from under his feet, and the broken stone slabs sank one after another.

Hua Meiniang stopped in her tracks first.

The spiritual energy within her body suddenly became heavy, and her meridians were also compressed and unable to circulate.

Just as Cang Wuyue was about to draw his sword, he lost feeling in his five fingers.

The beast mark on Luo Xiaoman's waist kept vibrating, but it couldn't fly out no matter what she did.

Xiao Jing walked ten feet away and glanced at the three women.

An even stronger pressure followed.

Hua Meiniang bent her knees and slid her foot away from Xiao Tong's face.

Cang Wuyue held his sword horizontally in front of him, and as soon as he raised the sword, a crisp sound came from his arm.

The stone slab beneath Luo Xiaoman's feet shattered.

She gritted her teeth and remained in front of the two men.

"A few Golden Core cultivators dare to detain people from my Xiao Clan."

Xiao Jingxing raised his sleeve and casually swept it across.

True energy pressed down.

The long sword in Cang Wuyue's hand flew out, and she fell into the pile of rubble.

The wound on her shoulder that had just healed reopened, and blood quickly seeped through her clothes.

Hua Meiniang was thrown several feet away, her back slamming into a stone wall.

She had just propped herself up when a mouthful of blood gushed out.

Luo Xiaoman crossed her arms in front of her chest, and several beast patterns emerged from her body.

The true energy collided with the beast pattern, producing a series of muffled sounds.

She was also thrown off, but only rolled a few times on the ground.

Xiao Jingxing paused, his hand still raised.

The beast markings on Luo Xiaoman's body were very faint, and others might not be able to see them, but he had seen this kind of technique before.

That is the secret technique of Beast King Valley, the "Battle Body of Ten Thousand Beasts".

Those who can master this technique mostly possess the essence and blood of demonic beasts within their bodies.

Ke Luo Xiaoman's aura was different again.

Xiao Jingxing released his divine sense and forcibly probed into her meridians.

Deep within Luo Xiaoman's body, a wisp of golden blood energy rapidly contracted into her heart meridian.

The amount of blood energy was extremely small, yet it still caused his nascent soul to react.

Xiao Jingxing paused for a moment.

Beast King Bloodline!

And it's frighteningly pure.

There must have been a true Beast King among her ancestors.

It is only because so many generations have passed that this bloodline has become so thin.

Xiao Jingxing gently pressed his thumb against his index finger.

In his early years, he obtained half of the Blood-Swallowing Evil Skill in a monstrous cave.

As long as he extracts Luo Xiaoman's bloodline and refines it with Nascent Soul True Fire, he can claim this power for himself.

At that time, both his physical body and his nascent soul will be upgraded to a higher level.

They may even have the opportunity to reach even higher levels.

Xiao Tong, lying on the ground, finally caught his breath.

He was bound by the Spirit Binding Rope and struggled several times but could not get up.

Xiao Jingxing, however, did not rush to save him.

Two Golden Core cultivators were taken down by a few women, and he had to personally intervene, which truly disgraced the Xiao family.

His gaze turned to Hua Meiniang.

"Give me the antidote, and I won't destroy your dantian."

Hua Meiniang wiped the blood from her mouth and stood up, supporting herself against the wall.

"I prepared the medicine myself, and I didn't leave any antidote."

Xiao Jingxing's face tightened slightly.

He took a step forward and landed directly in front of Hua Meiniang.

Her nascent soul essence sealed off the surroundings, preventing her from even taking a half-step back.

Xiao Jingxing raised his hand and pressed it against her lower abdomen.

"Then let's shatter your golden core first. Once you're in the Xiao family, you can slowly learn how to serve me."

Hua Meiniang pressed her back against the stone wall, her fingers curling tightly.

The force of the palm strike had already landed on her clothes.

Luo Xiaoman got up from the ground.

Her left leg was still trembling, but her hands had already formed the beast seal.

The silent beast bone at her waist emitted a low groan, and all the blood energy in her body was forced out.

"Old man, stay away from her!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Luo Xiaoman slapped her chest.

The roars of tigers, the cries of eagles, and the howls of monkeys resounded simultaneously.

Hundreds of beastly figures rushed out from behind her, crowding the dilapidated encampment.

The giant tiger shattered the flames, the eagle tore through the spiritual energy, and several black apes pounced on Xiao Jingxing from both sides.

The Xiao clan cultivators all retreated.

The protective auras of several people were grazed by the beast's shadow and shattered on the spot.

Xiao Jingxing, however, remained standing still.

He became increasingly certain that Luo Xiaoman possessed the bloodline of the Beast Emperor.

A Golden Core cultivator can summon so many beast shadows.

Once he absorbs that bloodline, this power will only become stronger.

Xiao Jingxing withdrew his hand from Hua Meiniang and turned to press forward.

The Nascent Soul's true essence instantly suppressed all the beast shadows.

The giant tiger at the very front exploded first.

Immediately afterwards, the eagle, the black ape, and the other beastly figures shattered one after another, turning into large swaths of scattered blood energy.

Luo Xiaoman's body trembled, and two streaks of blood flowed from her nose.

She is still activating the beast mark.

Xiao Jingxing closed his five fingers together, and the last dozens of beast shadows were crushed.

He swept his arm outward, and all the remaining force slammed into Luo Xiaoman.

The beast-patterned designs on Luo Xiaoman's chest went out in patches.

She flew backwards for more than ten feet, crashing into a cracked pillar of lightning.

When he landed, blood splattered all over his clothes, and his right hand was still tightly gripping the animal bone.

Xiao Jingxing did not make any further moves.

He had already come to regard this body as his own, so naturally he couldn't destroy it prematurely.

He looked at Luo Xiaoman lying under the lightning pillar, his fingers tightening little by little, and his heart also felt hot.

Not long after the Ancient Ruins opened, a bloodline of the Beast Emperor was presented to him.

If he can devour her and then take down Lei Ze, Xiao Jingxing will be the one who gains the most from this trial.

Xiao Jingxing raised his hand, his five fingers reaching out to grab Luo Xiaoman from a distance.
