Chapter 333: Nineteen Hammer Strikes

Xiao Fan was naturally unaware of the discussions among the Disciples outside.

However, what he was thinking at this moment was not much different from that group of Disciples outside.

He was wondering if he had offended Beiming somewhere.

This old guy was actually so vicious!

This was clearly intended to shake him to death…

"Boom"…

"Pfft"…

With every hammer strike from Beiming, Xiao Fan rhythmically spat out mouthfuls of blood…

With each hammer blow, Xiao Fan spat a mouthful of blood.

His consciousness had already begun to blur, and he was almost out of strength to even cry out; his remaining energy was all being used to mobilize his spiritual power to protect his heart meridians.

If he relaxed even a little, he suspected that it wouldn't just be a simple serious injury afterwards.

He might be shaken to death by a single hammer blow…

Although Beiming had his back to Xiao Fan, he had been keeping an eye on Xiao Fan's condition the entire time, and the look of shock on his face grew increasingly intense…

He was actually able to persist until now without passing out while in the first stage of the Tongtian Realm.

"Kid, that's eighteen strikes already. Two more; can you hold on!"

Beiming laughed loudly, his tone filled with excitement.

Xiao Fan: "…I… Pfft!"

Xiao Fan wanted to say that he couldn't, but before he could say it, he coughed up a mouthful of blood directly.

Under this scorching high temperature, he couldn't even finish a complete sentence properly…

"Hahaha, if you don't respond, I'll take it that you can!! Well done!"

Beiming laughed wildly, raised his iron hammer high with his right hand, and then brought it down fiercely.

It was fiercer… and more vicious than before…

Old man Beiming, you…

"Boom"…

As this hammer fell, Xiao Fan, who had been cursing wildly in his heart just a moment ago, suddenly felt completely disoriented…

"Pfft" "Pfft"…

He coughed up two mouthfuls of blood in succession and was knocked onto the ground by the force.

The last bit of consciousness in his mind became blurred as well.

He didn't even have the energy to curse Beiming anymore.

Seeing this, Beiming finally turned around to examine Xiao Fan…

"Tsk tsk tsk… Still haven't passed out? Impressive, truly impressive!"

Beiming praised him loudly, glanced at the iron hammer in his hand, and then cast a glance at the nearly completed long sword.

He pursed his lips and ultimately decided to give up, choosing not to strike the final blow.

Although Xiao Fan wouldn't die if the final hammer blow landed, he would definitely be seriously injured.

Although he really wanted to strike it down, he managed to restrain himself in the end.

If he were to mess this guy up to the point of disaster…

Not only would Sect Master Xu Yongnian and Sect Master Wu Xinjue not let him off, but the other three peak masters would probably come to cause him trouble too!

Beiming put away the hammer and stuck the nearly completed long sword into the furnace.

He patted his Storage Pouch, a jade bottle appeared in his hand, and he walked over to Xiao Fan, feeding it to him with a look of heartache.

"Sigh… I didn't expect to lose this as well… Kid, this is a grade 5 pill that I swindled from Kong Ping back in the day; it's your lucky day now."

Xiao Fan's consciousness was blurred at this moment, and he didn't even have the strength to speak, but he heard Beiming's words very clearly…

A grade 5 pill refined by Kong Ping?

He didn't need to ask to know how precious this was.

He didn't have time to think about that right now; the Medicinal Pill entered his body and melted instantly…

A massive warm current instantly flowed through all of Xiao Fan's limbs and bones…

The refreshing fragrance of this Medicinal Pill could not be masked even within this scorching Secret Room.

After a few breaths, Xiao Fan's consciousness cleared up.

His own spiritual power and injuries were recovering at an astonishing speed…

Seeing that Xiao Fan's complexion was beginning to flush, Beiming smiled and asked, "How is it? Are you feeling better?"

Xiao Fan shook his head, his internal organs gradually stabilized, and the burns on his skin were also slowly healing…

He glanced at Beiming, who had practically infuriated him to death…

"Good, I'm feeling better."

He really wanted to scold Beiming, and even wanted to beat him up!

But he couldn't beat him…

He had to endure it.

Beiming smiled: "Kid, stand up, move your body, and feel if there's any difference."

"Hm?"

Xiao Fan was stunned, because after the grade 5 pill entered his body, he had already recovered almost completely in an instant.

Following Beiming's words, he slowly stood up.

Xiao Fan first moved his neck, then exercised his wrists and ankles…

"Eh?"

Xiao Fan was stunned, and then he began to mobilize his spiritual power, discovering that it was smoother than before, and it seemed that even without using spiritual power, he was no longer very afraid of the surrounding high temperature.

One must know that the magma in the furnace had never been extinguished and had been releasing high temperatures the entire time.

And the magma had just been releasing its scorching heat to the fullest; how much could it have cooled down in such a short time?

Xiao Fan looked at Beiming with a puzzled gaze…

"Hehe, kid, first you were in this environment, letting the scorching heat of the Earth Core Rock roast your entire body, putting yourself in a boiling state; even if you used spiritual power to resist, with your current cultivation, it would be difficult to withstand it. This in itself is an extremely strong tempering for the Physical Body."

"And then you endured nineteen of my hammer strikes…"

"The sound of my hammer during Artifact Refining, and the vibrations emitted, can provide excellent tempering for the Physical Body. Just a moment ago, it was almost equivalent to the effect of five years of Body Refining for an ordinary Tongtian Realm cultivator."

Beiming looked composed, but his heart was aching immensely.

After all, he had paid with a grade 5 pill…

That was his only one!
