Wu Feng, the Little Sister with a Special Talent

Besides the new skill at his brow whose power was still unknown, Qin Yue also discovered that his bones, muscles, meridians, and internal organs had all been covered in a strange layer of green. This green was gradually fusing with his body, its color slowly fading.

Qin Yue had an extremely high degree of control over his body. With only a slight sense of it, he understood the change: from now on, whenever he was injured, his body would automatically begin to recover. His entire body had also become more "compact," reducing the chances of suffering severe injuries from another perspective.

Although he had long expected the effects of Life Gold, Qin Yue had not imagined that a piece of Life Gold no bigger than a carving knife could bring him so many benefits.

By coincidence, he happened to know of another place with a large amount of Life Gold. It was hard to say how much he could get, but Di Tian probably would not refuse if he only asked for one or two pieces for Qiu'er's sake. He simply lacked a reasonable excuse to come into contact with that "mountain of gold" beneath the Lake of Life.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yue asked the emerald carving knife floating quietly in his Sea of Spirit, "Elder Yi, if I can get one or two pieces of material identical to this carving knife, can I gain the same enhancement as today?"

"You can still obtain Life Gold?" There was a hint of surprise in Electrolux's voice. At the same time, he sensed the hesitation in Qin Yue's words. Having formed a few guesses, he quickly gave his answer. "For anyone else, yes. But for you, no."

Qin Yue raised an eyebrow. "Because my body is already far stronger than anyone else's?"

"That's right."

Gray light flickered across the emerald blade, confirming Qin Yue's guess.

"The material of this knife is called Life Gold. It is a solid, purified form of life force. Put simply, it is a Heavenly Treasure that can only appear after an incomparably vast amount of life force gathers together and is nurtured over countless years."

"More Life Gold will certainly bring more benefits, but no matter what, those benefits cannot compare to when you first used Life Gold."

"The reason is simple. No matter where it comes from or how it is born, all Life Gold exists at the same quality. Your body has already undergone a qualitative transformation because of one piece of Life Gold. Even if you obtain more, it can only provide horizontal enhancement at the same level of quality. It cannot give you the vertical enhancement of your first use."

"Perhaps you think there is a chance for qualitative change to produce quantitative change. I can only say that perhaps such a possibility exists. But if it truly does, then the first thing to undergo a qualitative transformation would be that large batch of Life Gold. By then, even if it evolved into a new Heavenly Treasure capable of bringing you another qualitative transformation, it would no longer be Life Gold."

Qin Yue silently listened to Electrolux's explanation, and his previous idea of going to the Star Dou Forest to take advantage of the situation gradually faded.

While more Life Gold would indeed be useful to him, if it could not bring further qualitative changes, there was no need to provoke the already-sensitive nerves of Di Tian and the other Beasts of Calamity over it.

But not going now did not mean he would never go. Even a minor improvement was still an improvement. Besides, he had the Qin Clan, the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and many other supporters. One could never have too much Life Gold.

Once his cultivation had reached a certain level—at the very least, after becoming a Soul Saint—Qin Yue could discuss this matter with Di Tian. It would surely take half the effort for twice the result, and he might even get another piece or two.

If he went even further and became a Title Douluo or even a Limit Douluo, then so long as he did not touch on topics that absolutely could not be touched upon—the Silver Dragon King—even if Qin Yue gave one piece to each of his friends and family, Di Tian would merely turn a blind eye, treating it as though it had all been fed to Qiu'er.

The following evening, Wu Feng circled Qin Yue again and again, examining him from every angle. She only stopped when Ning Tian was nearly unable to stand watching any longer and was about to speak up. With a suspicious expression, Wu Feng asked, "Did you... put on makeup?"

"What do you mean?" Qin Yue frowned slightly, truly unable to understand what Wu Feng meant.

"I knew asking would be pointless." Wu Feng rolled her eyes, then turned and pulled Ning Tian closer. Pointing at Qin Yue's face, she asked, "Ning Tian, look. Doesn't he seem different from before?"

At her words, Ning Tian paused her hand as it reached toward Wu Feng's waist. She raised her head and carefully studied Qin Yue. Only after a moment did she nod in surprise. "He does seem a little more radiant than yesterday. Like... like..."

"Like after Sister Xuan Yin uses those beauty products!" Wu Feng blurted out.

"Right!" Ning Tian's eyes lit up. "He really does look like Mom after she uses beauty products to take care of her skin!"

As they spoke, the two seemed to realize something. With remarkable tacit understanding, they both looked at Qin Yue.

Qin Yue looked at the two girls staring straight at him and said thoughtfully, "You two want it too?"

"Yes, yes..."

"I'm just curious..."

Ning Tian and Wu Feng hurriedly nodded, their eyes turning pitiful.

Qin Yue could not help laughing. It seemed there truly was no girl who could refuse the chance to become more beautiful. It was one thing for the normally composed Ning Tian to react this way, but he had not expected even Wu Feng—who always wore a fierce little expression and looked ready to pounce on him and bite him—to act cute.

A flash of green light appeared, and the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife, like a piece of emerald crystal, materialized in Qin Yue's hand. He raised the carving knife and shrugged at the two of them. "I know you're in a hurry, but don't be. This thing is very important to me, and there's only one of it."

"Tch~" Wu Feng immediately changed her expression, looking as though this Dragon Girl could not care less.

Ning Tian, however, seemed thoughtful. Looking at the emerald crystal in the shape of a short knife, she asked in surprise, "This is... the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife?"

"Mm." Qin Yue nodded slightly. After returning the Spirit-Devouring Carving Knife to his Sea of Spirit, he said slowly, "I used Ultimate Lightning to purify the Evil curse covering it, allowing it to return to the form it should have had."

"You even managed to stumble into something this good."

Wu Feng's voice was sour, and she gritted her teeth.

If she had accidentally obtained such a treasure, she would dare call that woman who always liked pinching her cheeks an auntie right to her face! Then she could use it on that auntie once or twice, and that auntie surely would not dare settle the score afterward!

"But it isn't as if you have no chance of getting one. You'll just have to wait a few years at least." Qin Yue changed the subject, his tone teasing.

Wu Feng's expression changed. After an intense internal struggle, that sweet smile appeared on her face again. "Really? Really? Brother Qin, I knew you were the best~"

"Ha ha ha~"

Both Qin Yue and Ning Tian were amused by Wu Feng's sudden change of face. Their cheerful laughter rang out along the quiet path, carrying far into the distance.
