Dan Bingli's voice was soft, tinged with embarrassment and helplessness. For someone as proud as her, saying such things was like exposing her most vulnerable wound.
Qin Luo turned to look at her, without the slightest surprise in his eyes.
Dan Bingli had already repaid him all her spiritual value before, and since then, she has stayed in his residence to refine the Primordial Bloodline Stone.
All of this was actually done intentionally by him, in order to create time for the two of them to be alone. Moreover, this time alone could not be too deliberate, otherwise, given her personality, she would definitely become wary and put him on her guard list.
That's why he specifically set out the ten-move agreement.
The goal was to break down her defenses first, so that when she was lost in confusion, there would be an opportunity to break through her layers of defensive walls.
Only in this way can I gradually enter her heart and shorten the distance between us.
"I know you don't have spiritual value."
As Qin Luo spoke, he moved his hand, and a blue light emerged from the spirit value token at his waist and flowed into the restriction in front of them. As the blue light entered, the restriction began to ripple, and then a gap as tall as a person appeared in front of the two of them.
"Let's go, time is limited, we need to hurry."
Qin Luo looked at the gap with a pained expression, his tone leaving no room for doubt, and then walked in.
Dan Bingli frowned slightly, looking at the gap opened by the spiritual value. She felt a bit complicated. This feeling of being completely controlled made her very uncomfortable.
But with the die already cast, he had no choice but to follow Qin Luo into the breach.
Upon entering, the immense spiritual energy of the spirit pool rushed towards her like a surging wave. Dan Bingli subconsciously circulated her spiritual energy to resist, barely managing to stabilize herself.
When Dan Bingli saw the spiritual energy that had turned into liquid, she was shocked and then turned around and flew back to the gap she had come from without any hesitation.
Qin Luo was already prepared, and with lightning speed, he reached out and grabbed her hand.
In that instant, a cool and smooth sensation came from my fingertips, as if I were holding a rare and beautiful piece of jade, delicate and warm, yet with a slight coolness.
Qin Luo was about to say something, but when he felt the wetness on her hand, his brows furrowed immediately.
Looking at the closed gap, Dan Bingli's anxiety deepened. She then turned to look at Qin Luo, so anxious that she forgot to pull her hand away.
"You, you let me out right now! So many spirit points, I... I can't repay them!"
She had cultivated here before, so she naturally knew the rules of the Spirit Pool. This Spirit Pool was one of the famous cultivation holy sites in the Spirit Abyss Sect, with four levels.
The spiritual energy accumulated in each layer undergoes a qualitative leap, as does the required spiritual value.
The first level requires 10,000 spiritual points to cultivate each day. The concentration of spiritual energy there is sufficient to support the cultivation of cultivators in the Soul Separation Realm. Usually, most people only come here to cultivate in seclusion when they break through to the next level.
The second level requires 50,000 spiritual points to cultivate each day, and its spiritual energy concentration is incomparable to that of the first level. This level is a place frequently visited by disciples of the Lingyuan Sect who have some talent and wealth.
Cultivating on the third level requires 100,000 spiritual points per day. Stepping into this level is like being in a cloud of spiritual energy, so dense it's almost tangible, with every wisp of energy constantly churning. One day of cultivation here is equivalent to several days of cultivation on the second level, but its exorbitant spiritual cost deters many from even attempting it.
The fourth level requires as much as 200,000 spiritual points to cultivate each day!
The spiritual energy here has already transformed into a tangible liquid, and its concentration is astonishing.
Most importantly, this spiritual liquid was accumulated by the Lingyuan Sect over time and refined by powerful saints. It not only lacks the omnipresent oppressive feeling, but can also be directly absorbed into the Qi Sea to become one's own foundation!
This was originally a shortcut carefully crafted by the Lingyuan Sect for the most outstanding individuals on the Wind and Cloud Ranking, but the spiritual value required for this shortcut was extremely high, far beyond what ordinary people could bear.
She originally thought that Qin Luo had only brought her to the first level of cultivation, and that she could grit her teeth and bear the cost there, or find a way to repay it.
She never expected it to be the fourth level. How was she going to repay the spiritual points she had advanced? A day of cultivation here was equivalent to a short-term mission she had taken on!
Qin Luo did not answer her. Instead, a surge of purple spiritual energy emerged from his hand and flowed into her palm, slowly healing the wound on her tiger's mouth.
Purple spiritual energy swirled and lingered around her wounds, and wherever it touched, the damaged skin repaired itself at a visible speed. The originally hideous wounds gradually became smooth and even, as if they had never existed.
The sudden warmth startled Dan Bingli, and only then did she realize that her hand was being held tightly by Qin Luo.
Recalling the ruptured wound on her tiger's mouth, she had been in a state of confusion after her defeat. Then she followed him all the way here, and the process was full of twists and turns, leaving her no time to care for the injury. She even forgot to use her spiritual energy to repair it.
He then withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted, a chilling glint in his eyes.
"you!"
Dan Bingli's gaze was icy, like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing straight at Qin Luo. She was annoyed by his unauthorized actions and even more annoyed at her own momentary lapse in concentration.
Qin Luo felt a little regretful as the lubricated jade hand broke free, but then said:
"Don't worry, Miss Dan. Since I brought you here, I naturally want you to improve your strength quickly. You don't need to worry about the spirit value; I will help you with it first. I know you have many grievances against me, but only here can you break through to the late stage of the Spirit Control Realm within a month."
Unexpectedly, Dan Bingli said again:
"I'm afraid I'm not worthy of this honor, please let me out."
After speaking, his gaze towards Qin Luo left no room for negotiation, and his tone was as cold and hard as the runes surrounding the spirit pool.
Seeing her so assertive, Qin Luo's tone also turned cold:
"Miss Dan, do you really think you can break through to the late stage of the Spirit Control Realm within a month outside? You should know that if you don't help me win the Freshman Competition, how will you compensate me for the Primordial Bloodline Stone that you refined? You must know how precious that Primordial Bloodline Stone is, right?"
As Qin Luo spoke, he walked up to her, staring intently at her, his imposing presence undiminished.
Dan Bingli's face turned ashen, and she didn't know how to answer for a moment.
She knew in her heart that Qin Luo's words were true; the value of that Primordial Bloodline Stone was indeed immeasurable. If she were to compensate him, even if she gave everything she had, she didn't know when she would be able to repay this debt.
However, staying here would slowly erode her spiritual energy, like a frog being boiled in lukewarm water, ultimately killing her future cultivation!
