All three side quests have already been maxed out; to break through to the second tier, I'll need 100 low-grade spirit stones to add points.
As for adding some spiritual roots, he didn't consider it.
It takes 1110 low-grade spirit stones to upgrade a low-grade Yellow Rank spiritual root to a low-grade Profound Rank spiritual root.
Anyway, I don't rely on spiritual roots for cultivation.
As for cultivation techniques, there's no need to add points to upgrade them to the superior grade at the moment.
After thinking about it, I used 100 spirit stones to add some points to the talisman.
As he added points to the deep blue, Li Daoxuan felt his mind clear, and a large amount of obscure and difficult-to-understand knowledge about talismans appeared out of thin air.
My mental strength also increased slightly as my talisman level broke through.
"Now, my success rate in making first-tier talismans is probably 99%, if not 100%."
Thinking about it, he got up, washed up, and went into the cultivation room to experiment.
after a while.
"really..."
"Let's try making a second-tier talisman."
Li Daoxuan was portrayed.
However, he thought that even if his cultivation level was only at the tenth level of Qi Refining, he could still create a second-tier talisman if he had enough mana.
As a result, the mana was exhausted after only one-tenth of its potential was realized.
"ha..."
"It seems that crossing borders is a huge chasm, the gap is too big."
Li Daoxuan sighed, but he didn't regret adding the talismans. After all, with the talismans in such a state, his alchemy and weapon crafting wouldn't be much better.
With the skill level of a second-tier talisman, it will be much less likely to fail in crafting a first-tier top-grade talisman.
"I'm not fully capable yet, so I can't sell pills and equipment together. Otherwise, I could easily earn hundreds or thousands a month."
In the days that followed, Li Daoxuan comforted Lu Xueqi while earning spirit stones.
Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
Rent collection day.
Li Daoxuan paid fourteen spirit stones and received a pleasant look from Steward Zhao.
A small number of people couldn't afford to tip, seemingly because this greedy guy had his eye on them.
After collecting the rent.
"The rent will go up by two dollars next month."
Manager Zhao left after saying those words.
Everyone frowned.
Once Manager Zhao had walked away, someone complained, "Another price increase? What is the Green Wolf Gang trying to do?"
Don't they know that doing this will lose most of their customers? This is killing the goose that lays the golden eggs; I don't believe the higher-ups of the Green Wolf Gang didn't think of that.
The group pondered and ignored the complainer. Each had their own moral compass, and they knew the saying that loose lips sink ships. Since they were just strangers who had met by chance, they all kept their mouths shut.
Cultivating immortality is a serious matter; those who are not careful die long ago.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and went inside.
After deducting expenses and rent, I have 500 spirit stones left this month.
Both his alchemy and weapon crafting skills have reached the second-tier perfection.
"My husband."
Lu Xueqi stepped forward, hugged Li Daoxuan, and rubbed against him.
After a month of counseling, I successfully... well... successfully transformed her feelings of inferiority into attachment to him.
I didn't use psychological manipulation. In short, he became Lu Xueqi's emotional support.
From a psychological perspective, this is because people with low self-esteem and sensitivity instinctively seek refuge in the safety of firelight.
Does this mean the condition has worsened?
Li Daoxuan had deep suspicions.
However, to completely solve this problem, we need to trace it back to its root cause: make Lu Xueqi a cultivator. Once she has power, her anxiety will dissipate.
I glanced at the sentiment score.
[Emotional Value: Level 4 (780/800)]
It'll be done soon; we should be able to finish it in the next few days.
What story would you like to hear tonight?
Li Daoxuan gently stroked the kitten in his arms.
Fearing that Lu Xueqi might be bored, he started teaching her to read and write this month, and telling her bedtime stories every night.
Once the other party can read completely, buy some books for Lu Xueqi to enrich her knowledge and mind.
"I want to hear my husband tell the story of Journey to the West."
Lu Xueqi said happily.
"Journey to the West...where did I leave off last time?"
"Three Battles with the White Bone Demon!"
Lu Xueqi blurted it out.
"You remember it so clearly. Yesterday you asked me to tell you about Dream of the Red Chamber, and today you want to hear about Journey to the West."
"Please tell me, please tell me, my dear husband~"
Lu Xueqi started to act coquettishly.
"Okay, okay."
Li Daoxuan affectionately pinched the bridge of her nose.
After dinner and washing up.
Inside the bedroom.
Lu Xueqi nestled in Li Daoxuan's arms, and he vividly described the wonders of the Journey to the West world.
Lu Xueqi listened intently.
When he got to the crucial point, Li Daoxuan paused.
"Please continue, my husband."
Lu Xueqi urged.
"Cough, my mouth is dry."
Lu Xueqi, being sensible, took a glass of water from the bedside table and handed it to him.
Li Daoxuan didn't answer: "I don't drink things that aren't imported."
"stare..."
Lu Xueqi scrutinized her, realizing that thirst was just an excuse.
She took a small sip and brought it to Li Daoxuan's lips.
Only then did he suck on it with satisfaction.
"Hmm!"
After a while, Lu Xueqi's eyes became glazed over.
This shouldn't be happening... I want to hear more stories, but I can't hold back any longer, I'll listen tomorrow.
Putting the story out of her mind, she took the initiative.
[Cultivation Level +8]
[Spells +8]
...
...
A few days later.
After doing some romantic things with Lu Xueqi, we finally maxed out the skill.
[Ding! Host's feelings have moved Lu Xueqi, affection points +20!]
[Ding! Your emotional level has broken through to level five!]
[Ding! New feature activated due to specific conditions detected!]
Damn it, I knew the system had hidden features!
Li Daoxuan was somewhat excited. Just a moment ago, he was really afraid that his previous guesses were wrong. Now, the weight that had been hanging over his heart had finally been lifted.
Immediately open the system to see the newly released features.
I found this feature in the Daoist Couple template.
[Daoist Partner: Lu Xueqi]
[Cultivation Level: Mortal]
Age: 22
[Spiritual Root: None]
[Emotional Level: Level 5]
[Unlock Features: Sharing Happiness, Unbreakable Bond]
Sharing the blessings: Daoist partners can enjoy half of the host's cultivation as a reward, and the host can also receive the full reward from the other party.
Your love is stronger than gold: Your affection is as clear as the sun and moon, and your lovemaking can improve your physical condition.
"!"
The saying "sharing blessings" goes without saying. Simply put, when making love now, he gains 24 experience points, while his partner gains 8.
What he cares about is unwavering affection and improving physical constitution; spiritual roots are definitely included within physical constitution.
This also means that Lu Xueqi can have spiritual roots, and he can also improve his spiritual root level through this function.
He would scoff if you asked him to add something, but it's free, so why not take it?
A higher level of spiritual root means a faster efficiency in absorbing spiritual energy and restoring mana.
"Husband, what's wrong?"
Just after undressing, Lu Xueqi saw Li Daoxuan standing there in a daze.
So, as if deep in thought, he skillfully stepped forward and did it himself.
"Ah~ Ugh~"
"!"
Li Daoxuan snapped back to reality in a flash.
Looking at Lu Xueqi, he didn't stop her from continuing, and brushed her hair behind her ear to reveal her face.
[Water Spirit Root +24]
[Constitution +24]
...
It really works!
So I opened Lu Xueqi's panel.
At this point, the spiritual root attribute is no longer zero.
[Spiritual Root: Water Spiritual Root, Yellow Rank, Low Grade (8/10)]
The experience points are still rising, and in the blink of an eye, they break through to the intermediate level and move towards the advanced level.
Why haven't other spiritual roots increased?
Is it because of my posture?
He wouldn't suspect anything if it were another system, but his own system's behavior was truly questionable...
Seeing that Lu Xueqi was already in the zone, Li Daoxuan didn't tell her the good news right now.
Let's surprise them tomorrow.
