[Yi Ting has entered the second stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. Based on her current affection value for the host: 28 (initial feelings); therefore, this return reward will be randomly distributed between 29 and 145 times the original value.]
[Cultivation points are doubled, with a multiplier of 110, granting 110 times the cultivation level of the second stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm]
Immediately afterwards, an extremely pure emerald green spiritual energy surged out of Qin Luo's body, but he only slightly activated the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique to devour all of that spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy of the Spiritual Awareness Realm was still too little for his current level, and it was completely absorbed in just a few breaths.
But this was just a minor ripple; Qin Luo was currently staring intently at Yi Ting's figure.
After her breakthrough, several spiritual flames reappeared within her body. When those flames gathered together, the temperature in the room rose again.
Meanwhile, the pills inside the spiritual flame were rapidly taking shape, filling the entire room with a rich fragrance.
Qin Luo was both surprised and delighted. He was surprised that Yi Ting's progress in alchemy was beyond his imagination, and delighted that her talent was even higher than he had imagined.
Finally, the spiritual flames slowly dissipated, and a round, full pill radiating blue light appeared before the two of them.
"Master, I think I succeeded?" Yi Ting looked at the pill in front of her in disbelief. Could she really have refined this herself?
Qin Luo stepped forward and carefully examined the pill.
"As expected, the color is rich and full, and it emits a strange light when the pill is completed. This is the kind of phenomenon that only top-grade pills can exhibit."
Thinking of this, Qin Luo looked at Yi Ting with a complicated expression. He didn't expect that she could refine a top-grade pill on her first attempt. What would happen if she became more skilled?
Seeing his expression, Yi Ting assumed the pills she had refined weren't of very good quality, and explained somewhat nervously:
“Master, I originally intended to refine the pills according to your steps, but when I focused my mind on the spiritual flame, it conveyed a sense of dissatisfaction to me and then rushed towards the three medicinal herbs.”
"The refining temperature is also controlled by itself afterward; I can't control it even if I want to."
Qin Luo's eyes widened upon hearing this, feeling somewhat resentful. They clearly had the same physique and cultivation method, so why were they being treated differently?
Yiting didn't see his increasingly dark face, and continued explaining:
"Moreover, Master, I could feel my cultivation level rising rapidly while I was refining pills, which is why I broke through to the second stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm when I was halfway through refining them."
As she said this, she cautiously looked at Qin Luo.
"Damn it, I want a refund!" Qin Luo roared inwardly. He hadn't expected that the physique he had acquired was completely inferior to hers, except for the fact that they shared the same name!
Qin Luo was inwardly cursing, but outwardly he tried his best to maintain his composure.
"Perhaps there is a unique compatibility between your physique and this spirit flame. But you must remember that you cannot completely rely on the spirit flame's autonomous actions; you still need to continuously cultivate your ability to control the spirit flame."
Then, after a pause, he looked at the pill in front of him with a complicated expression and said:
"Although the refining process of this pill was somewhat unexpected, its quality is quite good. Next, you need to practice more to solidify your pill-refining skills."
He couldn't admit that the pills he refined were inferior to the results of her first attempt at alchemy; otherwise, how could he maintain his authority to guide her cultivation in the future?
Yi Ting breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that the quality of the pills she had refined wasn't too bad. After listening to Qin Luo's instructions, she obediently responded:
"Yes, Master."
Then Qin Luo took the top-grade Spirit Awakening Pill in his hand and smiled at her:
"This Spirit Awakening Pill is crucial for a cultivator like you at the Spirit Awareness Realm to improve your cultivation right now. Refine it before its effects wear off."
Upon hearing this, Yi Ting hesitated for a moment before saying, "Master, this is the first pill I've ever refined. I... I want to give it to you."
After speaking, she lowered her head shyly, like a delicate flower swaying gently in the breeze.
Qin Luo was slightly taken aback, and said irritably, "This pill is of little use to me, why are you giving it to me?"
He was also thinking to himself, how come she's just like Xia Zihan, always doing the opposite of what he does?
Then, before Yiting could react, he shoved the pill into her mouth.
"Master, you!"
This sudden action startled her, and the tip of her tongue involuntarily twitched.
Her sudden movement startled Qin Luo, who quickly pulled his hand away. Seeing her pitiful expression, he said helplessly:
"Quickly sit down and cultivate, I will protect you here."
After hearing that he didn't scold her, Yi Ting smiled and sat cross-legged on the ground, then licked her lips as if savoring something.
The pill tasted astringent, but she felt a sweet sensation in her heart.
"What are you still thinking about? Can't you see the pill has already taken effect?"
Qin Luo looked at the wisps of green spiritual energy that appeared around her, and then saw her sitting cross-legged on the ground with a silly grin on her face, and couldn't help but shout.
Seeing this, Yi Ting came to her senses and quickly activated the Flame Rhyme Alchemy Technique. Instantly, the surrounding spiritual energy resonated with her, and the third acupoint in her body was rapidly lit up.
Qin Luo nodded with satisfaction as he watched her enter a meditative state, then frowned as he looked out the window at the pitch-black night.
"I feel like I've forgotten something?"
Qin Luo stroked his chin and spoke casually, when suddenly he seemed to think of something extremely terrifying and slapped his thigh hard.
"Damn it, I forgot I promised Xia Zihan I'd go home early today!"
As Qin Luo looked at the completely darkened night, a bead of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
Seeing that Yiting was still cultivating, he quickly placed a series of wooden boxes on the table. These were all medicinal materials for refining Qi Ling Dan, more than a dozen in total, which should be enough for her to refine for a while. After leaving her a note, he quickly left the room.
After an incense stick had burned, Yi Ting slowly opened her eyes. At this moment, she had broken through to the third stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm and was about to tell her master the good news, but she did not expect to see an empty room when she opened her eyes.
When she saw the note on the table, she glanced at the medicinal herbs on the table with a hint of resentment.
The letter was full of instructions for her to focus on cultivation and alchemy, without a single word of concern for her. How could she not feel resentful?
But she only complained for a while. In the end, she opened the wooden boxes of medicinal herbs in a huff. Wisps of green spiritual flame emerged from her body, and so she began a new round of alchemy...
Qin Luo, who was halfway there, received another spiritual energy return from the system, but it was only about fifteen times, which was less than the previous return. However, even a mosquito's leg is still meat. Under the devouring of the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique, the spiritual energy was completely devoured after only a moment.
He was standing at the shop entrance, taking a deep breath before nervously opening the door.
