According to ancient legends, the most exquisite Primordial Bloodstones possess the purest spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the bloodlines of ancient beings.
The bloodline power contained within it is not only extremely pure, but also unimaginably powerful. For cultivators with ancient bloodlines, being able to activate and strengthen their own bloodline with the help of such a divine object would undoubtedly be a heaven-defying opportunity to ascend to the heavens in one step.
This is precisely why, throughout history, very few people have been able to truly possess and successfully utilize it.
In ancient times, countless powerful figures waged fierce battles for a single Saint-grade Primordial Blood Source Stone, even triggering bloodshed among numerous sects and families...
Dan Bingli undoubtedly knew the value contained in this Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone. Her eyes widened as she stared intently at the stone in Qin Luo's hand that was radiating brilliant light. Her heart was filled with shock, mixed with an indescribable bitterness.
What shocked her was that she never imagined she would be able to witness such a legendary treasure up close in her lifetime.
The bitter part is that she has just experienced a disastrous failure in activating her bloodline, which not only consumed the precious Primordial Blood Source Stone, but also left her with a huge debt of five million spirit points to the person in front of her.
Under such circumstances, even with the Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone right in front of her, she felt that she was not qualified to touch this heaven-sent opportunity.
With a pause, Dan Bingli slowly shifted her gaze from the Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone in Qin Luo's hand, her eyes revealing a deep sense of helplessness and self-mockery.
He thought to himself, "I can't let her ask for credit again, can I? Not to mention that even if she shamelessly incurs a huge favor, how can this Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone be measured in spirit value?"
Thinking of this, she lowered her head slightly, looking at the somewhat gray ground beneath her feet, just like her heart, which was riddled with holes.
Having just incurred a debt of five million spirit points, how could she possibly have the audacity to ask Qin Luo for the Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone? Just thinking about it made her feel as if her face was being burned by fire.
Seeing the icy beauty before him, head bowed and silent, Qin Luo smiled faintly:
“Since Miss Dan just said that this Primordial Bloodline Stone cannot induce other bloodlines, then to me it is nothing more than a useless stone. In that case, I might as well do you a favor and help you this time.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli was slightly taken aback. She raised her eyes and looked at Qin Luo with some disbelief.
"However, this favor isn't given away for free; there are conditions. Just the ordinary Primordial Bloodline Stone from before was worth five million spirit points, so this one in my hand is even more valuable."
As Qin Luo spoke, he looked at Tantai Bingli with a half-smile, his eyes revealing an unfathomable expression.
"Moreover, it would be unreasonable to ask for this stone on credit, after all, Miss Dan still owes me a huge sum of five million spirit points."
Qin Luo played with the Saint-grade Primordial Blood Source Stone in his hand, which was radiating a dazzling light, while speaking slowly and deliberately. However, his gaze never left Dan Bingli, as if he wanted to take in every change in her expression.
Upon hearing these words, Dan Bingli immediately became wary. When she left home, her mother had repeatedly warned her that the world was full of treacherous people, and she must be wary of men with ill intentions.
Qin Luo's words reminded her of her mother's warning, and she felt that Qin Luo's actions were probably not so simple.
Thinking of this, she looked at Qin Luo coldly, her eyes filled with wariness.
Seeing the wary look in Dan Bingli's eyes, Qin Luo sighed inwardly.
I thought I could offer her some seemingly win-win terms while she was at her lowest point after failing to break through, which would both help her and bring my strategy one step closer. But I didn't expect her to be so vigilant and wary.
Even the slightest hint of a word could trigger her guard up, so Qin Luo had no choice but to give up his idea of winning her over in one go.
"Looks like I guess I have to take things one step at a time."
With a slight sigh, Qin Luo shook his head, a faint smile still on his face, but now tinged with helplessness. He slowly spoke:
“Miss Dan, please don’t be so nervous. Although I, Qin Luo, am not exactly a gentleman, I am certainly not the kind of person who would take advantage of someone in distress or have ulterior motives. The conditions I have proposed are not anything that is difficult to say.”
Dan Bingli continued to stare coldly at Qin Luo, her wariness undiminished. She pursed her chapped lips and uttered a few words in a cold voice:
"Hmph, words alone are not enough to prove anything, they may not be credible."
After speaking, she turned slightly to the side, ready to turn and leave at any moment. Her posture was like that of a frightened fawn, which would immediately flee away from the person who made her so wary if it sensed even the slightest danger.
Seeing her wary expression, Qin Luo smiled wryly, then said softly:
"Since Miss Dan thinks I'm just making empty promises, then I'll be frank. My condition is simple: I want Miss Dan to help me get first place in the freshman competition. If I can do that, I'll give you this Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone."
"Miss Dan knows that it is indeed quite difficult for me to compete for the top spot among the new students with my current Soul Contract Realm strength. That's why I've resorted to this unavoidable measure. If you disagree, then just pretend I never said anything."
After speaking, Qin Luo looked quietly at Dan Bingli, a hint of helplessness in his eyes. Seeing that she didn't react for a long time and still had that cold and wary look, he simply made up his mind, shook his head slightly, and finally said no more, slowly turning around and leaving.
Dan Bingli watched Qin Luo's receding figure quietly, her heart churning with hesitation and struggle.
She knew that this Saint-level Primordial Blood Source Stone was a golden opportunity for her to change her own destiny.
But there's no such thing as a free lunch. Based on her years of experience in cultivation and hardship, she had to consider things carefully and think twice before acting.
He pondered Qin Luo's words. Was it truly just a plea for his help to win first place in the freshman competition? Or was there some other motive hidden behind this request?
She bit her chapped lips, her mind racing with various thoughts. But she was unwilling to just watch Qin Luo leave and let this rare opportunity slip through her fingers.
The debt of five million spirit points has been suffocating her for some time to come, and her cultivation path will likely become increasingly difficult. Perhaps this is her only hope of turning things around.
"Perhaps, if we're careful, it's not something we can't give it a try."
