"This pill came unexpectedly, but it was also just in time."
Playing with the Imperial Spirit Pill in his hand, Qin Luo lowered his head and pondered for a moment.
He originally planned to talk to Dan Bingli after imprinting the Nine Dragons Sky-Splitting Array again, but the return of the Imperial Spirit Pill disrupted his plans. However, for him, it was also an excellent opportunity.
"Ten days have passed already, her anger should have subsided considerably by now, right? We can't let it die down like this; we need to add fuel to the fire..."
After putting away the Imperial Spirit Pill in his hand, Qin Luo stood up and went to the ice wall. Looking at the icy ice crystals on it, he gave up the idea of reaching out his hand.
He cleared his throat, his tone slightly indifferent:
"Ten days have passed. I wonder if Miss Dan has made any progress in her cultivation over these ten days?"
Although the tone was questioning, it carried a subtle hint of accusation. Enveloped in spiritual energy, the voice pierced through the ice wall and reached Dan Bingli, who was sitting cross-legged on the spirit pool.
At this moment, Dan Bingli sat cross-legged on the ground, her eyes gently closed, her expression serene and focused. A simple long dress draped into the pool, like the first snow of winter, exuding a captivating, cool beauty.
Countless ice crystal particles floated around her.
As the spiritual energy flowed, the ice crystal particles trembled slightly. With these trembling ice crystal particles, the spiritual energy in the spiritual pool continuously flowed into her dantian, making Dan Bingli appear as otherworldly as an ice fairy, breathtakingly beautiful.
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Dan Bingli opened her eyes, a trace of anger still lingering in them.
You have to understand, for her to break through to the late stage of the Spirit Control Realm within a month is already a pipe dream. Even in this spirit pool, she cannot guarantee that she will definitely succeed in breaking through.
The path of cultivation follows a gradual approach. If she were to break through in a short period of time, she would face the risk of unstable spiritual energy. If it weren't for Qin Luo's request, given her personality, she would never have cultivated so recklessly.
She was already irritable because of her cultivation progress and worries about the future, and when she heard Qin Luo's slightly questioning words, her anger flared up even more.
"Don't bother!"
Dan Bingli's icy voice came from inside the ice wall, like a biting wind, and carried obvious anger.
"It seems that her previous actions have not yet quelled her anger."
Qin Luo muttered to himself, inwardly complaining that this woman was truly a vengeful person.
Then, his gaze fell on the ice wall that stood between the two of them, and his tone was tinged with coldness:
"Miss Dan, don't forget the demands I made of you. Ten days have passed, so you should at least tell me about your cultivation progress, right? If you really can't meet my requirements, then I'll have to find someone else to cooperate with!"
The words echoed in the silent spiritual pool, carrying an undeniable force.
"you!"
Upon hearing Qin Luo's words, Dan Bingli's expression within the ice wall grew even more somber. She abruptly stood up, water droplets falling from her long dress, and the surrounding ice crystals swirled violently with her emotional fluctuations, making a rustling sound.
A flash of anger crossed Dan Bingli's eyes, and amidst the intense fluctuations in her emotions, she couldn't help but curse Qin Luo inwardly.
She was already dissatisfied with Qin Luo's previous recklessness, and now he was using such a threatening method to 'oppress' her, which greatly hurt her self-esteem.
In her view, Qin Luo's eagerness for quick success was completely risking her future, but for the sake of that secret realm of heaven and earth, she still took this risky step. But now he was questioning her and even wanted to examine her cultivation progress.
What did they take her for? A disposable tool? They forced her to cultivate when they needed her, and if she didn't comply with their wishes, they would come to interrogate her and even try to find someone else to cooperate with.
Dan Bingli clenched her fists tightly, suppressing the anger in her heart.
But recalling the terrified looks in her people's eyes during their escape, and the worried yet hopeful gaze of her parents, struck her heart like a heavy hammer, allowing her to regain a sliver of reason amidst her anger.
A moment later, Dan Bingli slowly released her grip. In order to achieve her goal, she had to suppress her emotions again. However, this feeling, like something stuck in her throat, made her extremely uncomfortable.
The ice wall slowly dissipated, and Dan Bingli's figure appeared in Qin Luo's eyes.
Her posture was upright, like a plum blossom in the snow, but her slightly trembling shoulders still betrayed the emotions she was trying so hard to suppress.
At the same time, she emitted a strong spiritual energy fluctuation, which swept towards Qin Luo.
"Are you satisfied now?"
As the spiritual energy fluctuations dissipated, Dan Bingli said through gritted teeth.
Sensing the fluctuations of her spiritual energy, Qin Luo ignored her increasingly gloomy expression and said calmly:
"It's too slow. Cultivation in this spirit pool shouldn't be this slow."
"Don't you know the consequences of weak spiritual energy?"
"I've been trying my best to build up the foundation for a breakthrough. Do you think I don't want to be fast?"
Dan Bingli stared intently at Qin Luo, her eyes full of questioning, her voice laced with a hint of grievance that even she didn't notice.
"I don't care about any of that, I just want the results."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo tossed a jade bottle into his hand. The jade bottle drew an arc in the air and landed steadily in front of Dan Bingli.
"This is......"
Dan Bingli subconsciously reached out and caught the jade bottle, a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.
After tossing the Heavenly Spirit Pill to Dan Bingli, Qin Luo didn't linger. He turned away indifferently, his unquestionable voice echoing in the silent spirit pool.
"It seems I was too lenient with you before. With the help of this Heavenly Spirit Pill, I'll give you another ten days. If you still can't break through to the late stage of the Spirit Control Realm, then let's call off the matter of the Heavenly Secret Realm!"
Watching Qin Luo's departing figure, Dan Bingli's anger instantly turned into sorrow.
He gripped the jade elixir bottle tightly in his hand, a look of confusion in his eyes, but it slowly turned into a severance a moment later.
Without hesitation, she swallowed the pill. It melted instantly in her mouth, and a powerful medicinal effect spread throughout her body.
At the same time, she made hand seals and activated the Ice Crystal Divine Decree at full power, directly drawing the spiritual liquid condensed in the spiritual pool into her dantian.
The spiritual liquid surged wildly into her dantian, each drop carrying a large amount of spiritual energy. This caused her meridians to endure unprecedented pressure, as the incompletely refined spiritual energy rampaged through them, causing waves of stinging pain.
But she gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain from the impact on her meridians.
As a large amount of spiritual energy poured in, the spiritual energy within her body became increasingly unstable, and the originally stable spiritual vortex within her Qi Sea began to show signs of loosening...
