Qin Luo, who had just left his residence, emerged from a secluded shop in Xufeng City. He was holding a map in his hand and muttering curses under his breath.
"This is so expensive! Are they ripping me off?"
Looking at the map and intelligence he had bought with several high-grade spirit stones, Qin Luo said with a pained expression.
Looking at the several places marked on the map, he quickly glanced through them and pondered in his mind.
"The Illusionary Swamp is extremely dangerous, teeming with demonic beasts at the Spirit Vortex Realm. With my strength, entering it would be a certain death."
"The Starry Forest is located in the northern part of the Southern Region, which is too far from here. It would take more than a month to travel there and back."
"Then we have no choice but to go here!"
Qin Luo set his sights on a valley not far from Xu Feng City.
Spirit Mist Valley!
It is said that Lingwu Valley is shrouded in a thin layer of spiritual mist all year round, making it seem like a dream. The climate here is mild, and the soil is fertile and rich in special spiritual nutrients.
The valley is home to many rare medicinal herbs, including many essential ingredients for elixirs used in the Spirit Gathering Realm. Nourished by the spiritual mist, these herbs grow exceptionally lushly and possess extremely high quality and efficacy.
The Spirit Mist Valley is home to various mysterious beasts, which coexist with the medicinal herbs, forming a unique ecosystem. However, these creatures also guard the herbs within the valley, making it difficult for outsiders to obtain them.
"The round trip only takes three days, and the strength of the demonic beasts is generally around the Spirit Gathering Realm. A week should be enough to search them out."
Qin Luo ultimately chose Spirit Mist Valley as the place where he would search for the medicinal herbs needed to cultivate pills for the Spirit Gathering Realm.
But the most difficult thing now is how to persuade Xia Zihan to stay here and cultivate. Knowing her personality, she knows that I am going to the Spirit Mist Valley, so she will definitely go with me.
"So we need to find a suitable reason."
Qin Luo pondered, his mind racing with possible solutions.
Just then, a mechanical voice rang in his mind.
[Yi Ting has entered the fourth stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. Based on her current affection value for the host: 35 (initial feelings); therefore, this return reward will be randomly distributed between 36 and 180 times the original value.]
[Cultivation points are doubled, with a multiplier of 105, granting 105 times the cultivation level of the fourth stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm]
Instantly, an extremely refined emerald green spiritual energy flowed through his body.
Qin Luo activated the Myriad Manifestations Return to One Technique within his body, absorbing the spiritual energy into his Qi Sea. Before long, he had completely absorbed all the returned spiritual energy.
"It seems that Yiting's cultivation speed is also extremely fast. At this rate, it won't be long before she breaks through to the Gathering Spirit Realm."
Qin Luo thought to himself, he originally intended to settle Yi Ting here so she could cultivate properly, but he didn't expect her progress to be several times faster than he had anticipated.
This put him in a dilemma. He wondered whether he should take the girl with him to the Spirit Mist Valley, since the abundance of medicinal herbs there would be of great help to her alchemy in the future.
Most importantly, if she gets some opportunities in the Spirit Mist Valley, she can get them back in time. Moreover, her current cultivation level is not very high, so the amount of spiritual energy she gets back is far less than what Xia Zihan gets.
"Let's persuade Xia Zihan first, otherwise all of this will be in vain."
Qin Luo finally put Yi Ting's matter aside and focused on thinking about Xia Zihan's problem.
However, after thinking for a long time, he still couldn't find a reason that he was confident he could persuade Xia Zihan, which made him somewhat irritable.
"How about we try a simulation?"
In the end, Qin Luo could only place his hopes on the simulation, but only on the rewards obtained from the simulation; he had no hope for his simulated self.
He looked at his current simulation attributes and shook his head helplessly:
a) 5 points of emotional intelligence (a) a) 0 points of appearance (plain appearance); c) 0 points of skills (completely clueless); d) 8 points of luck (the goddess of fortune occasionally smiles upon you)
The attribute remained unchanged despite multiple simulations. Each time Qin Luo looked at his wooden self in the simulation, he could only sigh before starting the simulation again.
[Simulated information entry in progress, simulated female: Xia Zihan.]
On the first day, you told Xia Zihan that you were going to Lingwu Valley, and she insisted on going with you.
You can't argue with her, so you have to take her along.
On the fifth day, you arrived at Spirit Mist Valley. Looking at this valley shrouded in mist, you proceeded with extreme caution.
On the tenth day, you returned to the town, and Xia Zihan's cultivation had actually reached the Spirit Vortex Realm! It seems you obtained a significant opportunity in Spirit Mist Valley.
Just as you returned to the town, a figure rushed into your arms. You looked closely and saw it was Yiting.
When Xia Zihan saw the woman in your arms, her spiritual energy erupted, and she swung a palm strike at her.
Seeing this, you quickly shielded Yiting from the attack, but due to the vast difference in their cultivation levels, you were sent flying.
Xia Zihan's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. She looked at her own hand, then at you, who had been sent flying, a complex mix of emotions welling up inside her. Anger, surprise, and worry intertwined, leaving her frozen in place.
At this moment, Yiting was also startled by this sudden scene and turned pale. She rushed to your side and helped you up, her eyes filled with concern and guilt.
[Afterwards, you explained your relationship with Yi Ting to Xia Zihan, who looked at you with suspicion, but due to your current injuries, she could only suppress her anger.]
