After Leng Ruolian finished her meal, Wei Tianci invited her to sit in the tea area.
Leng Ruolian looked at Wei Tianci suspiciously, wondering what he was up to.
After the two sat down facing each other, Wei Tianci chuckled and asked, "Ruolian, how many thousands of years old is your ginseng? What's its quality like?"
Leng Ruolian's bright eyes flashed; so the root of the problem was in the ginseng?
She picked up her teacup and said calmly, "A four-thousand-year-old ginseng, in excellent condition."
She only spoke, but didn't take it out.
Wei Tianci smiled and said, "Four thousand years? Very good, no problem refining Nascent Soul Pills."
The two then looked at each other in silence and quietly sipped their tea.
Despite her indifferent nature, Leng Hou was slightly moved when Wei Tianci prepared a delicious meal for her.
However, this only slightly eased her indifferent expression.
If you think you can get her to hand over the ginseng just because of this, you're probably overthinking it.
Wei Tianci rolled his eyes and then sighed, "Sigh, I have to go to the Longzhai Manor in the suburbs tomorrow to rescue An Muyue."
"There are powerful enemies all around there; it's possible that you might not return."
"So, before that happens, how about I try to refine a Nascent Soul Pill for you tonight?"
"Take out the ginseng and let me see it."
He looked at Leng Ruolian with a 'sincere' expression.
Leng Ruolian raised her eyebrows upon hearing this: "Rescue An Muyue?"
Wei Tianci then recounted, with great distress, the incident of Long Zongheng's coercion.
After listening, Leng Ruolian said calmly, "With me here, no one can kill you."
A hint of mockery flashed in Wei Tianci's eyes. "You're the one I'm most wary of."
Leng Ruolian added, "At this stage, the auxiliary materials for Nascent Soul Pills are not complete, so it's unrealistic for you to start refining pills."
"Let me gather all the materials first."
Wei Tianci was furious; this woman was so stubborn!
He was still waiting to refine longevity pills with ginseng and give one to Li Sha and Xiao You to guide them into the path of cultivation.
Wei Tianci then steeled his heart. Since he couldn't gain any advantage from this, he would teach this vicious woman a lesson.
He immediately recalled the scene of absorbing the energy of the support stone last time.
The immense energy within the stone poured into his body like a mountain pressing down on him.
Wei Tianci was so overwhelmed with hunger that he questioned the meaning of life. If it weren't for his special constitution, he might have already died.
Since you're being so ungrateful now, I'll be blunt and let you experience this ecstasy first.
Wei Tianci then smiled slightly at Leng Ruolian: "Ruolian is right. When you are with me, no one can kill me."
"I know your capabilities."
He then flipped his wrist and placed the stabilizing stone on the table.
Leng Ruolian looked on suspiciously.
Wei Tianci said with a smile, "After your internal energy was drained in the hospital room last time, I still feel bad about it."
"Ruolian, you are also a delicate girl. Losing your inner strength and vitality out of nowhere must be very inconvenient."
"That's why I spend all my time thinking about how I can make it up to you."
"Then, fortunately, I heard that there were traces of divine stones in the high mountain village of Bagua Mountain."
"That's why I rushed to find it immediately, and I actually found this magical stone."
"This stone contains a vast amount of pure energy, which should be of great benefit to you."
"Don't be shy, just absorb it!"
Leng Ruolian lowered her head and examined the protective stone on the coffee table: "Did you go to Gaoshan Village last time looking for this stone?"
"For me?"
As someone who had accompanied her on the previous trip, she was indeed aware of Wei Tianci's gains in Gaoshan Village.
One was a small stone, and the other was a map obtained from the village bully.
Leng Ruolian never expected that Wei Tianci had set off for Gaoshan Village to replenish his energy.
The coldness on her face softened once again.
However, the clever Empress Leng immediately asked in confusion, "Then why didn't you give me the magic stone back then?"
Wei Tianci smiled slightly: "When I first got it, this stone was impervious to swords and spears, water and needles."
Even if I gave it to you, it would be completely useless to you.
"I only recently figured out the secret of the energy stone; it turns out it comes with a miniature isolation array."
"We need to break the formation first, and then use the primal energy to probe its surface. Only then can we truly utilize the energy inside."
After hearing this, Leng Ruolian had no doubts.
Because she did see Wei Tianci pondering over the stone all day long.
I watch it while eating, and I watch it while riding in the car...
Leng Ruolian then reached out and picked up the protective stone to play with it.
Wei Tianci said with a smile, "Ruolian, you can now infuse your inner strength and establish a connection with the magical energy stone."
"Then you can absorb her energy."
Leng Ruolian didn't say a word and focused on circulating her cultivation technique.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared in her palm, signifying the start of the process!
Wei Tianci was overjoyed.
really.
Then, with a bang, the energy stone was instantly activated.
The energy inside surged out like a flash flood, unstoppable.
A tremendous, unstoppable energy surged through Leng Ruolian's delicate palm and into her body.
Leng Ruolian gave a comfortable groan and nodded slightly: "It is indeed pure energy."
She then increased the speed of her cultivation technique, like a whale drinking water, absorbing energy in bursts.
Her imposing aura quickly took hold, and her white hair flew wildly.
Wei Tianci watched in astonishment; this woman was indeed formidable.
However, a strange look immediately appeared on his face; the real show was yet to come!
Just three minutes later, the energy of the support stone continued to surge unabated, even becoming increasingly fierce.
The output was continuous and could not be stopped.
Leng Ruolian's expression finally changed drastically!
She suddenly raised her arm, trying to throw the stone away.
But the energy stone seemed to be firmly planted in her palm, remaining completely still.
The pressure Leng Ruolian felt was increasing, and she was even trembling slightly as she sat in her chair.
This time, she encountered an episode that was completely opposite to the one she had experienced in the hospital ward last time!
Last time, her internal energy was suddenly absorbed by the formation, which almost caused her to suffer a qi deviation.
This time, her body was being continuously injected with massive amounts of energy, putting her at risk of exploding and dying!
Leng Ruolian's face flushed crimson, then turned deathly pale.
She threw her head back and shouted, "Ah—!"
Pain was evident on her beautiful face.
Wei Tianci was startled when he saw this.
He wanted to teach the ill-intentioned Leng Ruolian a lesson, but he never intended to kill her.
If the female lead dies in the future, wouldn't the plot fall apart?
I've been an actor for so long, it would be such a damn injustice if I were to fall for Leng Ruolian out of nowhere.
'Alright, let's use the Turtle Absorption Technique to share some of her internal energy.'
He then looked at Leng Ruolian's luscious red lips.
