After saying that, Dongfang Jinyao turned and walked towards the Lingxi Boxes, but she suddenly turned back after taking a step and, mustering her courage, took Qin Luo's hand for the first time.
Her soft little hand gripped Qin Luo's palm tightly. As their fingertips touched, a warm sensation spread through their clasped hands, conveying the girl's tender feelings.
Qin Luo was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and a faint smile appeared on his lips. He let Dongfang Jinyao lead him, and the two remained silent, yet their hearts were in perfect harmony.
Soon the two arrived in front of the medicinal herbs. Looking at each priceless herb, Dongfang Jinyao softly inquired again:
"Qin Luo, are you really not going to regret this? Every single medicinal herb here is priceless, enough to make your future cultivation journey smooth sailing."
No sooner had she finished speaking than Dongfang Jinyao felt her hand being squeezed hard.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I know these medicinal herbs are priceless, but in my heart they are far less valuable than you. And having you by my side is more important than any precious medicinal herb."
Hearing this, Dongfang Jinyao's shyness deepened, and she dared not meet his gaze directly, her eyes darting around. Yet, her heart was filled with a sweet feeling, and she said shyly and reproachfully:
"You're just saying nice things to fool me... I think you're trying to get both money and affection, but I'm not going to fall for that so easily."
With a touch of shyness, Dongfang Jinyao accepted all ten or so spirit boxes.
However, instead of immediately storing them in her storage artifact, she turned around and hugged the spirit jade boxes, like a young girl showing off a gift from her beloved.
Seeing her cautious yet adorable appearance, Qin Luo couldn't help but step forward and poke her cheek.
“I’m not lying to you. Every word I’ve said is from the heart. And even if there really is such a good thing as getting both money and wealth, the ‘wealth’ I want most is you. Nothing else matters.”
Dongfang Jinyao tilted her head slightly to avoid Qin Luo's hand, but couldn't help but smile. "You're so glib and talkative. But... thank you anyway, Qin Luo."
Qin Luo smiled silently, but as he listened to the system notifications in his mind, a hint of surprise and delight flashed in his eyes:

......
Looking at the Qiankun Spirit Fruit and the Nine Yang Sacred Mushroom, Qin Luo quickly recalled the pill formula he got from You Yueying, and in an instant, he locked onto the Taixu Nirvana Pill.
The Nirvana Pill of the Void is a rare and precious Earth-grade pill that can reverse life and death, reshape the physical body, and is even effective for Supreme Beings!
The main ingredients are lotus seeds from the Taixu Sacred Lotus and Qiankun Spirit Fruit, while the auxiliary ingredients are the Nine Yang Sacred Mushroom and the Nine Yin Cold Grass, which complement each other.
"It seems that the Nirvana Pill is the fastest pill to gather materials for. Next, I just need to find the lotus seeds of the Sacred Lotus and the Nine Yin Cold Grass to start refining it. This return has given me quite a few surprises."
Thinking of this, Qin Luo came back to his senses and looked at Dongfang Jinyao, who was still immersed in sweetness. At this moment, she was carefully stroking the Lingxi Jade Boxes, her eyes full of cherishment.
These medicinal herbs were not only a token of Qin Luo's love for her, but also a guarantee for their future.
When I get home, I'll show these finds to my sister and see if she'll still frown and accuse me of not doing anything productive, just like before. Then I'll explain my relationship with Qin Luo; surely that way she won't disapprove of Qin Luo anymore, right?
As Dongfang Jinyao thought this to herself, a pretty smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.
Coming to his senses, Qin Luo glanced at Dongfang Jinyao, who was chuckling to herself, and swallowed his judgment. After all, once the matter of the remnants of the divine race was revealed, given her experience, she probably wouldn't be able to completely cover it up. It was better not to alert them too much.
"Jin Yao, it's getting late, let's leave here first," Qin Luo said softly.
Dongfang Jinyao looked up, a smile still lingering in her eyes. "Okay, sure." With that, she took one last, reluctant look at the Lingxi Jade Box in her hand before finally putting it away.
Qin Luo no longer hesitated and took out the wooden plaque, pressing it into the void in front of him.
Instantly, the once tranquil spirit array rippled, its light intertwining and shimmering to form a faintly glowing portal. Within the portal, light and shadow flowed, creating a dreamlike and ethereal scene.
The moment they stepped inside, a faint buzzing sound reached their ears, like the operation of a spirit array, or perhaps a whisper. When the fluorescent light dissipated, the two reappeared within the dilapidated building.
"Phew~ We're finally out. Should we go find that orchid that the old man mentioned earlier?" Dongfang Jinyao breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes still slightly dazed from coming out of the spirit array, but it quickly turned into excitement for the journey ahead.
"No rush. Before we go find the Spirit-Extinguishing Demon Orchid, we need to deal with some uninvited guests."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Luo suddenly made his move. A ghostly light appeared, and his fist struck a building not far away. With a muffled thud, the already crumbling building collapsed instantly, raising a cloud of dust.
Startled by this sudden turn of events, Dongfang Jinyao instinctively took a step back, her eyes filled with astonishment. "Qin Luo, what's wrong?"
The words stopped abruptly halfway through, and two figures could be vaguely seen emerging from the dust.
As the dust settled, the two figures gradually came into clear view.
