A faint but pure purple spiritual energy surged into his body, instantly breaking through the bottleneck of the third stage of spiritual awareness to the fourth stage of spiritual awareness. A feeling of comfort spread throughout Qin Luo's body.
"Awesome! All that talking for so long wasn't for nothing."
Feeling his cultivation level advance another step forward, Qin Luo said with a refreshed expression. "As expected, it all comes down to the system's reward." He thought to himself, "I've been cultivating in the simulation for half a month without breaking through, but now, just thanks to Xia Zihan's reward for entering the Spiritual Awareness Realm, I've broken through to the fourth stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm."
After refining all the spiritual energy within his body, Qin Luo focused his attention on the system's interface.
Name: Qin Luo
[Realm: Fourth Stage of Spiritual Awareness]
[Constitution: Ethereal Holy Body (Constitution Absorbed: 1)]
[Technique: The Ultimate Unity of All Things (Technique already integrated: 1)]
[Number of Investing Opportunities: 0]
[Number of simulation attempts: 0 (refreshes once every 24 hours)]
[None women suitable for investment]
Oh right, he almost forgot about the physique he got from Xia Zihan; he was too busy complaining about the system that day.
Thinking of this, Qin Luo slapped his head and then checked his cultivation technique and physique.
The Secret of Unifying All Things:
Integrated Technique: Ziwei Huangji Gong
The Purple Star Imperial Ultimate Technique: Using the power of stars as a guide, practitioners must absorb the essence of the Purple Star on specific starry nights. Once mastered, this technique grants the ability to perceive celestial secrets, foresee fortune and misfortune, and possesses powerful mental attack capabilities, making it difficult for opponents to defend against.
Ethereal Holy Body:
Absorbed Physique: Purple Star Spirit Emperor Physique
The Purple Star Spirit Emperor Physique: This physique is connected to the power of the stars, naturally able to sense their movement and power. During cultivation, one can draw upon the power of the Purple Star to strengthen themselves. At night, their strength is greatly enhanced, and they can use the power of the stars to predict fortune and misfortune, avoiding danger and seeking good fortune. Their aura is noble and mysterious, like the Purple Star Emperor descended to earth.
"It seems that the sudden death of the man in black that day was caused by this so-called spiritual power."
Qin Luo looked at the introduction of the cultivation technique and physique and said as if he suddenly understood. Then, looking at the dark night outside, he decided to try it out and see how effective the technique would be.
Stepping out of the temple, Qin Luo arrived at an open space. He looked up at the night sky, where countless stars twinkled, with the Purple Star shining particularly brightly.
He took a deep breath and activated the Myriad Phenomena Return to One Technique, attempting to establish a connection with the power of the stars. However, the Ziwei Star in the starry sky remained unchanged for a long time, which inevitably made him somewhat anxious.
But Qin Luo quickly calmed himself down and focused his mind again. Finally, this time he felt a faint power slowly descend from the Purple Star and enter his body. This power was cool and comfortable, invigorating his spirit.
As time passed, Qin Luo absorbed more and more stellar power, and a faint purple light gradually emanated from his body. He could feel his senses becoming more acute and his thoughts becoming clearer under the purple light.
At that moment, one or two small birds flew out of the jungle in the night sky.
Qin Luo decided to test the mental attack ability described in the cultivation technique. He concentrated his mind, gathered the power of the stars within his body into his mind, and then launched an attack on the birds.
The bird let out a miserable cry high in the sky, then stopped abruptly and collapsed to the ground, its fate unknown.
"That's right, but this mental attack can only be used when driven by the power of stars. I'm only at the Spiritual Awareness Realm now, and I haven't formed a Qi Sea in my body, so I can't preserve the spiritual energy of stars, which is a bit of a pity."
Just as Qin Luo sighed, a slightly mechanical voice echoed in his mind.
[Xia Zihan has entered the second stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm. Based on her current affection level for the host: 1, the return reward will be randomly distributed between 2 and 10 times the original amount.]
[Cultivation points are doubled, with a multiplier of 10, granting ten times the cultivation level of the second stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm]
Then, a surge of purple spiritual energy, dozens of times larger than before, erupted from Qin Luo's body.
Qin Luo was initially startled, then his face lit up with uncontrollable elation. The immense purple spiritual energy surged through his body, and he quickly sat cross-legged, circulating his cultivation technique to greedily devour it...
Soon after, when the last bit of spiritual energy was absorbed, Qin Luo's fifth acupoint was already mostly lit up. He would probably be able to break through to the fifth stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm if he received another surge of such a large amount of spiritual energy.
"I never expected that Xia Zihan could break through two minor realms in one night with the help of the Qi-enhancing Pill. It was indeed the right choice to give her the pill. In just a few hours, she has received dozens of times the spiritual energy return, which is much faster than her cultivating by consuming the pill herself."
Qin Luo glanced in a certain direction from the temple, a slight smirk playing on his lips. He hoped Xia Zihan wouldn't disappoint him, and that she would give him another surprise tonight.
In a dark corner of the temple, a faint purple light shone through a window onto Xia Zihan, making her appear radiant and beautiful.
Xia Zihan closed her eyes tightly, her brows furrowed slightly, and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat. She formed hand seals and chanted incantations, focusing all her efforts on refining the Qi-Awakening Pill within her body.
As the Qi-Enlightening Pill was refined, her perception of the surrounding spiritual energy became clearer, and the purple light surrounding her became more intense, enveloping her entire body.
Just now, she had returned to the second stage of the Spiritual Awareness Realm, but she did not stop and continued to immerse herself in cultivation, striving to make another breakthrough tonight.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Zihan's delicate body trembled, and she exhaled a breath of turbid air, her aura instantly becoming several times stronger. Then she slowly opened her eyes, which flashed with purple light. The corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, as if she was quite satisfied with the results of her cultivation.
"I've finally managed to cultivate back to the third level of the Spiritual Awareness realm, but it seems that this pill will consume more than I expected."
Xia Zihan frowned as she looked at the few remaining pills in the bottle. These pills would probably only be enough to support her cultivation up to the fourth level of the Spiritual Awareness stage. It seemed that the side effects of the Restoration Pulse Pill had had a significant impact on her.
"well!"
A sigh echoed within the temple.
Meanwhile, Qin Luo, who was sitting cross-legged outside, was absorbing the spiritual energy that had recently returned to him with a smile on his face. This time, Xia Zihan had entered the third stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm, and the spiritual energy returned was six times more, which allowed him to reach the fifth stage of the Spiritual Awakening Realm tonight!
Unfortunately, the Spiritual Awareness Realm is merely a stage used by cultivators in this realm to sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. Their physical strength only increases slightly, making them basically only a few points stronger than ordinary mortals.
Only when he reaches the Spirit Gathering Realm will he experience a qualitative change. Unfortunately, given the spiritual energy required for his cultivation technique, he will probably have to go through a long journey. Hopefully, Xia Zihan can live up to his expectations so that he can reach the Spirit Gathering Realm as soon as possible.
"The road ahead is long and arduous."
Qin Luo looked at the sky that was about to turn white and sighed deeply.
