Seeing her bewildered expression, Qin Luo naturally knew what she was thinking at that moment:
“Miss Dan, I know what you’re worried about, but since I brought you here, I naturally know that you can’t repay this spiritual value.”
Upon hearing this, Dan Bingli's wariness intensified, and she involuntarily took a step back, coldly staring at Qin Luo.
He thought to himself:
"As Mother said, none of the men outside are good. Their sweet talk is just to lure you into their trap and achieve their ulterior motives."
Seeing her like this, Qin Luo didn't pay much attention and simply spread his hands, saying:
"That's right, I did have a request for you to cultivate here."
Dan Bingli frowned, her vigilance undiminished, replaced by a hint of disgust. Her hands clenched unconsciously, as if she were about to attack Qin Luo at any moment.
"puff!"
Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Qin Luo knew he couldn't continue like this. He chuckled and then feigned surprise, saying:
"Miss Dan, what are you thinking? What I seek is your strength, not you as a person. If you think that way, you really overestimate yourself."
"To be honest, I need a teammate who can rank high on the leaderboard after the freshman competition, and you are one of the candidates I have in mind."
Hearing Qin Luo's no longer concealed words, Dan Bingli frowned, her wariness undiminished.
"Why me?"
Qin Luo slowly approached her, saying as he walked:
"Now that things have come to this, I no longer want to hide it from you. I have some information about a secret realm that is about to appear in the world. As you know, most people in the Lingyuan Sect have already joined their own small groups or have powerful forces supporting them."
“But you are different. You are relatively independent and don’t have those complicated backgrounds and entanglements. And, most importantly, we have ‘old scores’ between us.”
At this point, Qin Luo had already walked up to Dan Bingli and stopped in his tracks.
Her face was filled with astonishment. Her fair, snow-white complexion, sculpted as if from ice crystal, radiated a cool yet captivating beauty under the light of the spirit pool, leaving Qin Luo momentarily stunned. But he quickly regained his composure and continued:
"The Primordial Bloodline Stone is one of them. Since you have refined it, it is only right and proper for you to lend me a hand in this Newcomer Competition. Furthermore, if you want to repay the huge debt of this Spirit Pool, entering the Heaven and Earth Secret Realm to obtain opportunities later may not be an excellent chance for you to turn your life around."
At this moment, a huge wave of emotions surged in Dan Bingli's heart. Even Qin Luo, who was right next to her, did not feel it. The Heaven and Earth Secret Realm was a secret realm that could only be formed when a legendary Heavenly Origin Realm expert fell!
In this vast world, the Heavenly Origin Realm experts are the most powerful beings. When such experts fall, their spiritual energy merges with the surrounding world, and it takes millions of years to form this unique secret realm.
Most importantly, it is said that such secret realms may contain the primordial baptism left behind by powerful beings at the Heavenly Origin Realm!
This primordial baptism can greatly enhance the resistance of cultivators below the Saint Realm when facing the three tribulations of becoming a Saint. They may even have the opportunity to preserve their soul foundation during the final Soul Tribulation, thus having the chance to make a comeback.
It should be understood that the Three Tribulations to Sainthood are insurmountable barriers for cultivators to advance from mortals to sainthood, causing countless proud talents to tremble in fear. Nine out of ten cultivators are reduced to dust under these Three Tribulations to Sainthood.
Faced with such temptation, Dan Bingli's usually calm and indifferent heart was as if a boulder had been thrown into it, stirring up huge waves.
Her breathing became rapid and involuntarily quickened, her chest heaving slightly, revealing her inner turmoil.
After a long while, she suddenly realized that Qin Luo was right next to her, his deep eyes fixed on her.
However, instead of immediately moving away as usual, she stared intently at Qin Luo, her eyes flashing with a complex light, and asked with trembling lips:
"Is...it really true?"
His voice carried a barely perceptible urgency, as if a drowning person had grasped at the last straw.
If she could truly receive that primordial baptism, perhaps she could break through to the Saint Realm within two years, and then...
"I've said my piece, believe it or not is up to you, but my minimum requirement is that you have to break into the top fifty of the popularity rankings after the freshman competition!"
"Furthermore, the 82 points gained in the secret realm can be considered compensation for the spiritual points I advanced for your cultivation during this period. If Miss Dan does not believe me, I will not force you, and I will have to find someone else."
After speaking, Qin Luo waved his hand, and a gap about the height of a person slowly formed in the restriction behind Dan Bingli, from which wisps of spiritual energy dissipated.
Dan Bingli frowned slightly as she looked at the gap in the sky, lost in thought. The 80/20 split of the spoils seemed to give Qin Luo the lion's share, but the dangers within that secret realm were immeasurable. Without Qin Luo's information and preparations, she wouldn't even have had the chance to enter, let alone obtain that precious source baptism.
However, even reaching the top fifty on the Wind and Cloud Ranking is no easy feat. There are countless experts in the sect, and after a month, her strength is still far from sufficient.
But this is an opportunity that will never come again in her life, and it is probably the only chance she can change her fate.
Dan Bingli pondered the numerous benefits involved, and finally, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes as she coldly said:
