"As expected, the alchemy book was sent to her so-called imperial brother, but why did she still turn on me in the end? It must have started with that argument two months later."
Qin Luo stared at the simulation before him, lost in thought.
He gained more information from this simulation, but he still felt completely confused.
The only consolation was that Xia Zihan finally had an epiphany and actually took the initiative to borrow spirit stones from him to buy cultivation resources. This could be considered good news in the simulation.
Qin Luo looked at the five bottles of Spirit Gathering Pills, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He gently picked up one bottle, uncorked it, and a rich spiritual energy rushed out.
"The quality of this Spirit Gathering Pill is only average, barely reaching the middle grade."
Qin Luo thought to himself, with his current level of expertise as a second-grade alchemist, he could naturally tell the grade of the pill at a glance.
Pills are divided into low-grade, medium-grade, high-grade, and top-grade. It is said that there are other grades above top-grade, but only high-level alchemists can refine those pills.
"Now that we have the pills, let's send them to her. There's still a month left, so I need to make some preparations in advance."
Qin Luo naturally wouldn't sit idly by like his simulated self. With that in mind, he casually selected 1 point of emotional intelligence, then shut down the system and walked out of the room to the small cubicle outside.
Xia Zihan was seen leaning on a counter with one hand, staring blankly ahead with a faint smile on her lips, as if she was thinking of something pleasant.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, what are you thinking about? Why are you so engrossed?"
Qin Luo gently patted her shoulder and asked softly.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu! You walk so quietly!"
Xia Zihan was startled by Qin Luo's slap. She looked flustered, with a hint of unease in her eyes, and lowered her head slightly.
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo couldn't help but tease her, "Are you perhaps thinking about some girl who's making you so absent-minded?"
Unexpectedly, Xia Zihan glared at him fiercely upon hearing this, before her expression returned to normal.
"Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, you didn't come out just to make fun of me, did you?"
Seeing that she had regained her composure, Qin Luo also put away the teasing smile on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, I do have something important to discuss with you today."
"Although we have escaped to the Southern Region, it is inevitable that those men in black will find us. Therefore, I think that improving our strength as quickly as possible is the most important thing right now."
Xia Zihan listened silently to his advice. She knew in her heart that her fourth brother would come to her soon. At that time, with her fourth brother's strength, no matter how powerful and influential the sects in the Central Plains were, they could still save their lives in the Southern Region.
Although she wanted to tell Wang Wu about herself, she didn't want him to get involved in the mess, so she felt guilty every time she saw him.
Something's not right. According to the simulation, isn't she currently lacking cultivation resources? Why is her expression so calm when she hears my words?
Qin Luo's mind was racing, unsure where he had gone wrong. But seeing her listening intently, he forced himself to continue.
"Therefore, I have found these pills for you, hoping they can help you improve your cultivation. Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, please do not refuse."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he took out the five bottles of Huiling Pills in his hand.
Xia Zihan was slightly taken aback when she saw the pills. Her guilt grew stronger, and she opened her mouth, but then stopped herself from speaking.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's mind went blank. Damn, this is really chaotic now, completely different from the simulation. But he still managed to ask:
"Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu, is there perhaps something you're having trouble telling me? If you trust me, please speak frankly."
Xia Zihan took a deep breath and slowly said, "Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I appreciate your kindness. However... this pill is too precious. You should keep it for your own cultivation. It would be a waste to use it on me."
Qin Luo's expression changed slightly upon hearing this, then he let out a soft sigh and said in a slightly sorrowful tone:
“Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu may not know this, but one thing I said in the temple before was true: my aptitude for cultivation is indeed not very good. Reaching the Spirit Gathering Realm is probably the bottleneck I will face in my life.”
"how so!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Zihan's face turned pale instantly, and she quickly took Qin Luo's hand and used her spiritual energy to examine him.
She felt her spiritual energy vanish without a trace as soon as it entered Qin Luo's body. No matter how she tried, she couldn't sense the spiritual energy she released, which made her heart sink completely.
Qin Luo watched as she tried again and again. Within half an incense stick's time, Xia Zihan released her spiritual energy into his body hundreds of times, but without exception, it all went unanswered.
Finally, she dejectedly let go of Qin Luo's hand and then picked up the Spirit Gathering Pills from his hand.
Xia Zihan looked at him with a firm expression: "Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, I will accept these pills. I will cultivate diligently and protect you in the future."
Although her voice was soft, it sounded like a vow, a solemn and unwavering promise to Qin Luo.
Qin Luo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw her like this. In the end, it was all good; at least she was able to start cultivating.
"Then I'll have to rely on Fellow Daoist Zhao Jiu from now on."
Qin Luo smiled and said something, then remembered something, took out a bottle of pills from his chest and stuffed it into her hand. It was the bottle of Huiling Tianling Pills!
"Good luck with your cultivation, Fellow Daoist Zhao. I'll head back now."
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he returned to his room, leaving Xia Zihan standing there with a complicated expression.
But when she saw the bottle of pills clearly, she was still surprised, even though she was mentally prepared.
"This, this is actually the Spirit Gathering Heavenly Spirit Pill!"
This is the highest-grade pill in the Spirit Gathering Realm. If you knew that when her elder brother, who is now the Crown Prince, was in the Spirit Gathering Realm, her father had to go to the sect for a long time to obtain one for him.
I never expected that Fellow Daoist Wang Wu would be so willing to give me this entire bottle...
At this moment, Xia Zihan recalled the past scenes with Fellow Daoist Wang Wu in the Southern Region. Each memory was like a pebble hitting her heart, creating ripples.
Today's elixir and Fellow Daoist Wang Wu's honesty were like a heavy punch, smashing a huge hole in her heart and causing her hidden emotions to surge out like a tidal wave, making her unable to extricate herself from it.
Xia Zihan gripped the pill tightly in her hand, her eyes filled with determination: "Don't worry, I will definitely find the treasure to solve the problem in your body!"
After saying this, Xia Zihan's eyes suddenly filled with tenderness, and a soft voice rang out in the cubicle.
"From this day forward, we will be together through life and death, and I will never let you down."
