Within the silent spirit array, a faint fluorescent light reflected on the floating jade boxes. Upon closer inspection, there were more than ten of them, and above the spirit jade boxes floated a wooden plaque emitting a strong medicinal aura.
Judging from the Daoist aura emanating from it, Qin Luo immediately understood the purpose of the wooden tablet. It was similar to the jade tablets containing cultivation techniques obtained from the system before, and should also be one of the legacies left behind by the old man before his death.
Dongfang Jinyao ran all the way to the Lingxi Jade Boxes. As soon as she stretched out her hand, the jade boxes seemed to sense her presence and floated over to surround her.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Jinyao excitedly rubbed her hands together. This was the first treasure she had obtained through her own abilities. In the past, she had seen various rare and precious treasures, but those were not ones she had personally acquired.
Standing here now, I can say that I personally participated in obtaining these Lingxi Boxes. Although Qin Luo deserves more credit, now, thanks to their relationship, it's practically the same as her putting in a lot of effort.
How could she not be excited by such a sense of accomplishment?
Thinking of this, Dongfang Jinyao picked up a Lingxi Jade Box and eagerly opened it. Instantly, a rich and mellow medicinal fragrance filled the air.
Inside the jade box, a herb, its entire body gleaming and radiating a soft blue light, lay quietly, its veins seemingly twinkling with specks of starlight.
"Qin Luo, come and take a look! This looks like Starlight Condensation Grass. I once saw a record of it in an ancient book at home. It is said to be extremely rare, growing in remote areas rich in star power, and is an excellent main ingredient for refining pills that can enhance the soul."
Dongfang Jinyao called out in surprise.
Then, one after another, the remaining Lingxi Jade Boxes were opened.
As the second jade box was opened, a fresh and crisp aura wafted out, carrying with it the chill of a snowy region.
Inside the box, a herb resembling a snow lotus came into view. The petals of this herb were translucent, with a faint chill emanating from them. Tiny ice crystals condensed on each petal, refracting iridescent light under fluorescent light.
"This is the Ice Soul Snow Lotus!" Dongfang Jinyao couldn't help but exclaim softly, her eyes filled with amazement. At the same time, as the other Spirit Rhinoceros Jade Boxes were opened, several different rare spiritual energy auras permeated the tranquil space.
"This... could this be the Purple-Gold Spirit Marrow Root?"
"Shadow Spirit Beard"
"Mystic Twin Fruit"
"Red Sun Spirit Mushroom"
......
After all the spiritual energy was activated, Dongfang Jinyao focused her attention on the wooden plaque, reached out and grabbed it in her palm.
"This...this is the inheritance of a royal alchemist!"
Upon sensing the inheritance within, Dongfang Jinyao's face revealed a look of shock.
This master-level inheritance corresponds to a supreme-level pill, not to mention that the status of an alchemist is incomparable to that of an ordinary supreme-level expert.
After seeing that she had finished tidying up all the harvest, Qin Luo walked over and focused his gaze on the medicinal herbs, his eyes seemingly lost in thought.
Just then, a warm touch grasped his hand, and Qin Luo subconsciously looked down. He saw Dongfang Jinyao place the wooden plaque into his hand, then blinked shyly and said:
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and put these herbs away. I have no interest in these; I'm just looking for the novelty of exploration."
At this point, Dongfang Jinyao lowered her head somewhat shyly, her ears involuntarily flushing a beautiful rosy blush, and said softly:
"Alchemists hold an extremely prestigious status. If you can become an outstanding alchemist through this inheritance, I will be able to introduce you to my father in the future."
By the end, her voice was barely audible, her head almost buried between her beautifully shaped breasts. A deep blush spread across her face, making her appear stunningly beautiful and captivating.
Looking at the wooden plaque in her hand, Qin Luo felt a surge of warmth in her heart. The inheritance contained within these medicinal herbs and the wooden plaque was no ordinary opportunity. Although she, as a young lady, had seen countless treasures, the value of this grandmaster-level alchemist inheritance far exceeded her imagination. Even in the treasuries of aristocratic families, it could be considered a peerless treasure, something that ordinary people could not easily part with.
Although he had the system's return, and this inheritance was dispensable to him, he still inevitably wanted to leave it to that girl, Yiting.
Everyone has their own expertise, and this master-level alchemy inheritance cannot be learned immediately. Moreover, given Dongfang Jinyao's personality, she probably wouldn't have the patience to refine pills.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo looked at the shy Dongfang Jinyao in front of him, a slight smile appearing on his lips. His hand skillfully wrapped around her slender waist, gently pulling her into his arms. Gazing at her flushed cheeks, a playful thought crossed his mind, and he teased:
"Jin Yao, why are you so eager to pass on this inheritance to me? Is it because you don't trust your judgment, or because you lack confidence in yourself, or... are you just impatient to let me meet my 'future father-in-law'?"
Hearing this teasing remark, Dongfang Jinyao's already flushed cheeks instantly turned burning hot. She felt both embarrassed and flustered, and instinctively lightly punched Qin Luo's chest, saying coquettishly:
"You... what nonsense are you talking about! I didn't... I just think this inheritance will be more useful to you. If you can become a powerful alchemist, that would be excellent."
Seeing the spoiled Dongfang Jinyao's flustered and shy appearance, Qin Luo found it extremely amusing and couldn't help but tease her further, saying, "Is that really all? I feel like there might be another reason."
The voice in her ear and the breath brushing against her earlobe sent a chill down Dongfang Jinyao's spine. She dared not meet Qin Luo's eyes again, her gaze darting away as she muttered softly, "That's...that's how it is, don't make wild guesses."
Seeing the thin layer of moisture welling up in her eyes with shyness, Qin Luo stopped teasing her, gently lifting her chin and gazing into the shimmering light in her eyes, saying softly:
"Alright, I'm not teasing you anymore. I'll accept the inheritance, but you can't refuse these medicinal herbs anymore. I understand your intentions; you've considered a lot for me, but I also hope you can think more about yourself."
Hearing his words, Dongfang Jinyao was visibly taken aback for a moment, then, as if realizing something, the budding affection in her eyes began to fade, and she gossiped:
"Qin Luo, you... tell me honestly, are you the illegitimate son of some powerful figure? Otherwise, these medicinal herbs would fetch astronomical prices even for a single one. If you don't have any background, why are you indifferent?"
Of course, I have a system that provides a return bonus; if you take it, I can obtain even higher-level medicinal herbs...
Qin Luo thought helplessly to himself. He had originally planned to increase his affection value when he collected these medicinal herbs, but he didn't expect this girl to be so unconventional that she could even think of having an illegitimate child.
Logically, she should be feeling touched right now, so why would she think of gossip beforehand? It seems that a subtle and indirect way of expressing her feelings doesn't suit her personality. We should just get straight to the point.
