After Qin Luo carefully put the wooden box away, he looked at the messy, rubble-covered ground and said, "Yi Ting, we should go back now."
Yi Ting nodded obediently upon hearing this and followed behind Qin Luo.
On the way out of Spirit Mist Valley, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was somewhat silent. Yi Ting would occasionally steal glances at Qin Luo's back, plotting in her mind how to create some opportunities.
Qin Luo, on the other hand, focused on moving forward, constantly spreading his senses to avoid any sudden appearance of demonic beasts from the spiritual mist.
An hour later, when the long-awaited sunlight shone on their faces, they had already left the Lingwu Valley, marking the end of their exploration.
"Master, I've just broken through and haven't adapted to the spiritual energy yet. I'm afraid... I'll have to trouble you to carry me back again."
Yi Ting looked at Qin Luo pitifully, her eyes full of pleading and expectation.
Qin Luo scrutinized her. Logically speaking, spiritual energy should be used according to the cultivator's will, so there should be no reason for her to feel uncomfortable.
But he was in a hurry to get back, after all, he didn't know how long the Spirit Gathering Disc could last. So he didn't expose the girl's lie.
"Come on up."
Qin Luo crouched down slightly, leaving Yi Ting with his broad back.
Seeing this, Yi Ting felt a surge of joy and quickly and carefully climbed onto Qin Luo's back. She gently wrapped her arms around Qin Luo's neck, feeling the warmth emanating from his body.
It was the same familiar weight, Qin Luo thought to himself. After supporting her steadily, wisps of purple spiritual energy surged from his dantian and enveloped the two of them. The next moment, they transformed into a purple ray and flew into the sky.
The wind whistled past their ears. Yi Ting hugged Qin Luo's neck tightly, enjoying his scent, a sweet expression on her face.
It would be even better if the surrounding spiritual energy were green; she remembered that her master seemed to have used a kind of emerald green spiritual energy before.
Thinking of this, Yi Ting gently bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then mustered up her courage to whisper in Qin Luo's ear, "Master, could we change to a different kind of spiritual energy?"
The sensation of her whispering in his ear made Qin Luo feel a little itchy. He was slightly taken aback after hearing her words, and then said in an annoyed tone:
"Why are you so demanding, girl?"
Yi Ting panicked a little when she heard his slightly dissatisfied voice, but she remembered the wise words her sister Liu Shuang had once said: when a man is dissatisfied, she should...
Thinking of this, she took a deep breath, gently tightened her arms around Qin Luo's neck, and then brought her lips to Qin Luo's ear, her voice carrying a hint of allure she had never heard before:
"Master, please~ just change to a different kind of spiritual energy." The voice rang in Qin Luo's ears, carrying a strong fragrance of mugwort, which made Qin Luo's body stiffen slightly.
Seeing that Qin Luo did not respond immediately, Yi Ting steeled herself and gently twisted her body to make her back closer to Qin Luo's.
With a sly glint in her eyes, she continued to plead softly in Qin Luo's ear, "Master, please~ please~ please~."
As Qin Luo felt Yi Ting's actions while carrying him on his back, he felt both helpless and shocked by Yi Ting's boldness.
How come this girl is like a completely different person after her breakthrough? She's becoming more and more enchanting.
"Okay, stop messing around, I'll change it."
In the end, to prevent her from causing any more trouble, Qin Luo had no choice but to change the type of spiritual energy surging from his dantian.
The purple aura emanating from the two instantly transformed into a soft, emerald-green aura, enveloping them.
Looking at the spiritual energy around them, Yi Ting's eyes were filled with joy. Then she pressed her face against his back, listening to his strong heartbeat, and said softly:
"Master is the best."
......
Two days later, Qin Luo landed safely at Yi Ting's residence and then put her down.
"Don't slack off in your cultivation when you get back, and remember your master's instructions!"
After Qin Luo finished speaking, he left without looking back, but it looked like he was fleeing in panic.
Yi Ting watched his departing figure, her cheeks slightly flushed, her eyes filled with a hint of longing.
Thinking of the warm moments she had spent on her master's back these past two days, she shyly covered her flushed cheeks.
After gently patting her cheeks a few times to calm herself down, she looked at the large package left by Qin Luo and eagerly opened it.
"Spirit Leaf Grass, Dew-Gathering Flower, Spirit Heart Fruit... these are all the ingredients for the Spirit Gathering Pill. Ah, found it!"
Yi Ting looked at the long wooden box, which contained the robes that Qin Luo had given her.
"As expected, my master is the best to me! But why do these robes look a little different from my size? They seem a bit too small."
Yi Ting took out a pale white robe and compared it to her own body.
However, she soon discovered that the robe seemed to be a size too small for her, especially around the chest area, where it felt a bit cramped.
"It's okay, I can still squeeze in." But she didn't care, a slight upturn of her lips and a shy smile on her face, as she thought to herself.
He then happily carried the medicinal herbs and clothes into his residence. Soon after, an intense heat emanated from inside, followed by an extremely rich fragrance of medicinal herbs that wafted out of the house.
At the same time, Yi Ting's voice came from inside: "This Spirit Gathering Pill is indeed worthy of being a second-grade pill. It is much more difficult to refine than the pills before."
Yi Ting looked at the pills floating in the air with some trepidation. She hadn't expected that the refining of this Spirit Gathering Pill would result in the mutual incompatibility of the medicinal properties.
Fortunately, she was no longer the novice alchemist she once was. At the most crucial moment, she used her spiritual energy to stabilize the medicinal properties, which allowed her to fuse the three herbs together and refine the Spirit Gathering Pill.
