Seeing Qin Luo's smiling expression, Dan Bingli was shy and her heart was already in turmoil.
He spoke without thinking:
"Now that you have seen it, leave quickly and do not disturb my peaceful cultivation."
As she finished speaking, she secretly glanced at Qin Luo with her lowered eyes. Her tone didn't reveal any harshness; instead, it sounded like a coquettish attempt to refuse.
Seeing this, Qin Luo's smile deepened. He slowly approached Dan Bingli and whispered:
"If Miss Dan does not believe me, I have nothing more to say. If Miss Dan is truly angry with me, I will leave now, hoping that you will not let my presence affect your cultivation."
After speaking, Qin Luo pretended to turn around, but his steps were extremely slow, and he secretly watched Dan Bingli's reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Seeing Qin Luo turn to leave out of the corner of her eye, Dan Bingli felt a sudden panic, and her attempt to maintain composure crumbled instantly.
He instinctively called out, "Wait!"
Although the sound was not loud, it could be clearly heard in the quiet room.
Upon hearing the call, Qin Luo was secretly delighted, but still pretended to be somewhat surprised and slowly turned around, looking at Dan Bingli with a questioning gaze.
Dan Bingli's cheeks grew increasingly hot. She lowered her head, avoiding Qin Luo's gaze, and murmured:
"Since you've come... I'll listen to your insights on my cultivation."
"Let me clarify first that you were the one who said you wanted to stay, not me! This is to let you know that I am not such an unreasonable person, so that you won't go around making up stories about me later."
Dan Bingli raised her eyes slightly, glanced at Qin Luo quickly, and then quickly looked away. Her eyes held a hint of expectation, as well as a touch of pride and shyness.
Like a plum blossom just beginning to bloom, it is both eager to reveal its beauty and yet still conceals it, completely devoid of its usual aloofness and pride.
Looking at Dan Bingli's shy and bashful appearance, Qin Luo secretly weighed the situation and felt that the timing was just right. If he continued to tease her recklessly, it might be difficult to control the situation later. After all, this was not a simulation, and there was no chance to start over.
So, under the shy and demure gaze of Dan Bingli, he slowly stepped forward.
As he approached her, Qin Luo reached into his robes, took out an exquisite porcelain bottle, and handed it to Dan Bingli:
“Miss Dan, I’m afraid I don’t have as much insight into cultivation as you do, but I do have a solution for your bottleneck. This is the Spirit Control Breakthrough Pill. With your current peak Spirit Control Realm cultivation, you are already very close to the Soul Separation Realm. This pill can give you more confidence when you break through your bottleneck.”
"I hope this will help you, Miss Dan, break through your limitations and enter a new realm."
As he spoke, Qin Luo placed the pill in the palm of the stunned Dan Bingli. His gaze lingered briefly on her unresponsive face before he turned away, a meaningful smile playing on his lips, and walked briskly away.
Only Dan Bingli remained standing there, staring blankly in the direction he had left.
"wait......"
Before Dan Bingli could recover her senses and was about to say something to persuade him to stay, Qin Luo's figure disappeared from her sight, which made her feel disappointed. Looking at the pill in her hand, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes, as if blaming Qin Luo for his lack of understanding and hasty departure.
"Hmph! I've already let you stay, isn't that enough?"
"How can I possibly say something like that?"
"What I just said was already my limit, why did you still leave in such a hurry?"
Why can you always so easily stir my emotions? Why do I feel so sad?
"Rogue! Lecher! Scoundrel!"
......
These words of grievance echoed in the quiet room.
After a long while, Dan Bingli seemed to have gotten tired of cursing, and her voice gradually lowered, but her eyes involuntarily reddened.
After a long while, Dan Bingli took a deep breath and tightly gripped the bottle of pills in her hand.
"So what if it's the Soul Separation Realm? Once I break through, let's see what excuse you can come up with!"
He then took out the pill, placed it in his palm, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The pill entered her stomach and instantly transformed into a warm, scorching current, flowing freely throughout her body. Dan Bingli quickly circulated her internal energy, guiding the medicinal power to slowly gather at her dantian...
"Sigh, it seems she's really flustered. She hasn't even noticed my constant spiritual perception. Could it be that she's only focused on scolding me?"
At this moment, on the roof of his residence at night, Qin Luo shook his head with a wry smile, then quietly awaited his impending return.
So he didn't have to wait long. Late into the night, the long-awaited system notification sounded in his mind:
[Dan Bingli has entered the early stage of the Soul Separation Realm. Based on her current affection value for the host: 35 (initial feelings); therefore, this return will be randomly distributed between 36 and 180 times the original value.]
[Cultivation points are doubled, with a multiplier of 143, granting 143 times the cultivation points of the early stage of the Soul Separation Realm]
As soon as the system notification sounded, Qin Luo had already calmed his mind, activated the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique, and begun to absorb this vast amount of returned spiritual energy.
The azure spiritual energy continuously emanated from the void, instantly enveloping him and even tinging the deep night with a layer of ethereal blue light, like a dream.
With the influx of this spiritual energy, Qin Luo's Qi Sea began to vibrate violently.
The five tiny divine soul figures that had been lying dormant for so long slowly opened their eyes, then their figures flickered and they flew straight out of their dantian, appearing on the rooftop.
The golden figure sat cross-legged atop Qin Luo's head, like a dazzling golden sun, dominating the rise and fall of the universe.
Meanwhile, the four figures in purple, jade, silver, and azure sat cross-legged in the void surrounding the golden figure, each shimmering with strange and dazzling light.
The five tiny divine beings opened their mouths slightly, and the spiritual energy pouring down from the void was instantly devoured by them.
As it absorbed spiritual energy, its body seemed to solidify and was constantly transforming.
As these five tiny spirit figures frantically devoured and refined the spiritual energy, Qin Luo could clearly feel his connection with heaven and earth growing ever stronger.
Just as Qin Luo was immersed in the wisps of spiritual energy in the world, suddenly, his mind was struck as if by lightning, and his consciousness wavered instantly. In a daze, the scene before his eyes suddenly changed, and his vision shifted to the golden figure.
Qin Luo was startled, but quickly recovered. He then held his breath and focused his mind, carefully comprehending the various mysterious and exquisite aspects surrounding him. He couldn't help but sigh deeply.
"So this is the Soul Separation Realm, which allows the soul to transcend the body and overlook oneself and the world!"
"The Soul Separation Realm—it means separating oneself from the constraints of the physical body, and the soul becoming one with all things in heaven and earth? That's interesting..."
Qin Luo muttered to himself, then tried to release his senses.
He found that everything around him became clearer and more detailed. He could detect the crawling trail of an ant in the grass in the far distance, and hear the extremely subtle rustling sound of the wind blowing through the leaves. It seemed that nothing in his eyes could escape his perception.
Transcending the constraints of the mortal body, discerning every minute detail, and seeing the myriad phenomena of the universe reflected in one's eyes—this is the state of soul separation!
