"Ah Qiu! Who's cursing me again?"
Qin Luo sneezed in the room, scratched his head, and said.
[Xia Zihan's affection level has reached 40 (Deep Affection), granting her an additional critical strike cultivation bonus: a multiplier of 1000 times her third-stage Spirit Gathering Realm cultivation.]
Xia Zihan's affection level has reached 80 (secret engagement), and she has received new investment points.
Suddenly, two system notification sounds rang out, causing Qin Luo to pause for a moment.
Before he could think further, an incredibly powerful surge of spiritual energy rushed into his body, coursing through his meridians like a wild horse. Moreover, the room was now filled with a purple-hued spiritual energy, so dense it seemed almost liquefied.
The sudden surge of powerful spiritual energy within his body caused Qin Luo to experience excruciating pain in his meridians. His face contorted slightly, his teeth clenched, and all the muscles in his body tensed up, with large beads of sweat appearing on his forehead.
Seeing this, Qin Luo endured the pain with all his might and sat cross-legged on the bed, circulating the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique.
A faint light emanated from his body, and the surrounding spiritual energy began to surge into his dantian. His dantian, like a bottomless vortex, began to frantically absorb the surging spiritual energy.
As time went by, the spiritual energy in the room became increasingly scarce, while Qin Luo's Qi Sea was filled with purple radiance spiritual energy, looking like a boundless purple ocean.
"I didn't expect the reward to be so rich in spiritual energy, enough to fill my huge Qi Sea."
Qin Luo smiled with delight, but not long after, a crisp sound came from his body, and his aura also increased significantly. Under this spiritual energy, he broke through to the third stage of the Spirit Gathering Realm!
But Qin Luo's smile froze on his face, because his newly filled Qi Sea began to expand at a visible speed.
His Qi Sea was previously like a vast ocean, boundless and limitless; now, after the breakthrough, it has doubled in size.
This sea of qi resembled a vast treasure trove of energy, its depths unfathomable. The surging spiritual power within it resembled layers upon layers of ocean waves, endlessly surging. From a distance, the flowing spiritual power within the sea of qi appeared like dense clouds, thick and full of power.
The boundaries of the Qi Sea were indistinct, making it difficult to see its end. Tiny specks of purple spiritual energy flickered within, like stars in the night sky, dazzling and mysterious.
The moment Qin Luo's new Qi Sea condensed, the spiritual energy in the room was completely plundered by this Qi Sea, and in an instant, it was swallowed up.
The purple light in the Qi Sea also increased.
"Sigh, this land reclamation project seems to have no end in sight!"
Qin Luo looked at the boundless sea of qi within his body, and his face completely fell.
The only good news is that the purple spiritual energy within his body is no longer just nourishing his body in wisps. At this moment, his meridians, bones, and other internal organs are all enveloped by spiritual energy, and the continuous flow of spiritual energy is enhancing his physique.
Qin Luo then stopped thinking about these troubling matters and opened the system panel.
Name: Qin Luo
[Realm Level: Level 3 of the Spirit Gathering Realm]
[Constitution: Ethereal Holy Body]
[Technique: The Ultimate Unity of All Things]
[Number of investments available: 1]
[Number of simulation attempts: 0 (refreshes once every 24 hours)]
[None women suitable for investment]
"Finally, I can invest again. It seems that I need a lot of affection points to get investment points."
Qin Luo looked at the extra 1 point of investable funds and said calmly, but there was still no one to choose to invest in the woman.
"Looks like I'll have to go for a stroll around Xufeng City tomorrow..."
Qin Luo's soft murmur echoed in the empty room.
Meanwhile, in the cubicle, Xia Zihan was diligently cultivating.
The thought of her brother, the Emperor, arriving soon filled her with anxiety. She had previously intended to introduce Fellow Daoist Wang Wu to her brother.
Because her elder brother, the Emperor, loved to associate with geniuses, she assumed that Fellow Daoist Wang Wu and her brother would get along very well, and that he might even support her relationship with Fellow Daoist Wang Wu...
But after her honest confession, her naive idea was shattered. Her brother was always very tolerant of geniuses, but he didn't give mediocre people a kind look, which was what worried her.
She didn't want to see Fellow Daoist Wang Wu being looked down upon and neglected by his elder brother because of his own lack of talent, and she was even more afraid that this would hurt Fellow Daoist Wang Wu's self-esteem.
At this moment, she was in a state of utter confusion, completely losing her usual composure and calmness.
"Therefore, I need to restore my cultivation to the Spirit Vortex Realm as soon as possible. Even if my elder brother is still dissatisfied with Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, he probably won't say much because of my cultivation level. Once I return to the Spirit Vortex Realm, I can use the Soul Contract within my body! If my elder brother really wants to make things difficult for me, then don't blame me..."
Thinking of this, Xia Zihan unconsciously clenched her fists, secretly vowing to find a way to protect Fellow Daoist Wang Wu, even if it meant clashing with her imperial brother.
At this moment, her eyes were filled with determination, and the spiritual energy circulating within her body accelerated.
A blinding light pierced the night, and a new day began.
Qin Luo left the shop quietly without disturbing Xia Zihan, who was cultivating.
After a night of nurturing, his speed and strength have increased significantly. Even the meridians in his body have expanded considerably, allowing him to utilize more spiritual energy.
This time, Qin Luo arrived in Xufeng City in just half an hour. There were already quite a few people walking around here early in the morning.
The streets were lined with various stalls, and the vendors enthusiastically called out their wares, selling a wide variety of goods.
The crowd was bustling, including rich young men dressed in fine clothes and ordinary people dressed in simple clothes.
Watching the bustling scene in the city, Qin Luo weaved through the streets, constantly observing the system interface as he watched the endless stream of people, but the name of the woman who had invested still hadn't appeared.
To this end, he even went out on the street to chat up many women to verify this, but the system still did not show any names that were suitable for investment.
During one attempt to strike up a conversation, Qin Luo was spotted by a woman's husband, and in his haste to escape, he abandoned any further attempts to flirt with her.
"It seems that only specific women are worth investing in. It seems that meeting Xia Zihan in the dungeon is indeed a stroke of luck amidst misfortune."
Qin Luo sighed and then walked into a pill shop that looked very luxurious from the outside.
The store is decorated in a lavish style, with luxurious carpets on the floor and display cases made of the finest sandalwood, yet there are very few customers inside.
