The sudden turn of events caught them both completely off guard.
Zhao Ci truly hadn't expected a Secret Skill like this to exist—one that involved sticking needles all over someone's body to forcibly draw out all their True Qi. He was in a world of hurt but couldn't even put it into words.
He had long accumulated enough True Qi for his first Body Refining. The only reason he'd been delaying was that the Emperor Pill could increase his body's maximum capacity for True Qi.
So, he had intentionally stockpiled it for an extra half a month.
One had to understand that the Imperial Extreme True Qi cultivated in the Harmony Realm was terrifyingly immense in both quantity and purity.
He hadn't even thought he could use it all up in a single Body Refining session, but now every last bit of it had been drawn out.
'This is gonna be the death of me!'
'I'm not going to explode from this, am I?!'
