You Asked... Do You Want an Older Sister?

Qian Daoliu had appeared silently beside Lin Xia without anyone noticing, his white robe spotless.

Those eyes, which seemed to see through the essence of all things, first swept over Lin Xia and instantly sensed that the Soul Power within his body had stabilized at level twenty-six, with an extremely solid foundation.

Then, Qian Daoliu's gaze fell on Ivysaur, lingering for a longer time, especially on its enormous body, which had obviously swelled up and reached Lin Xia's Ivysaur, and the dark purple divine patterns that flowed endlessly around the edge of its flower bud.

A barely perceptible hint of seriousness flashed in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Extending his finger, a gentle and vast wisp of Soul Power, like a boundless ocean, instantly probed out, like the most precise probe, gently yet irresistibly sweeping over Lin Xia's limbs, meridians, and dantian. At the same time, another Soul Power brushed over the flower bud and body of the Ivysaur.

The Soul Power circulated through Lin Xia's body, confirming that although his Soul Power was slightly more active due to the rapid increase, his foundation was solid, his meridians were resilient, and there were no signs of weakness or damage.

When examining Ivysaur, the profound chaos and devouring sensation originating from the Rakshasa Divine Power became even clearer, but it formed a strange, temporarily stable balance with Ivysaur's own vitality and Poison-type nature, without any signs of conflict or erosion.

"Hmm, the foundation is intact, and the divine power is not out of control. Excellent."

Qian Daoliu withdrew his Soul Power, nodded slightly, and his usually calm face seemed to relax a little.

Clearly, he had some doubts about Ivysaur increase in size and its divine power, and only now did he truly feel at ease.

After doing all this, Qian Daoliu turned his gaze back to the core of the Light-Gathering Furnace, which was radiating terrifying energy fluctuations. He raised his hand and pointed to the dazzling entrance, his voice still calm, but carrying a Frisk invitation.

"Would you like to go inside and take a look?"

Lin Xia suddenly snapped out of her daze, her heart pounding with excitement.

The spectacle before him, the Captivate personally guided by Qian Daoliu, made his blood feel as if it were boiling.

Lin Xia nodded emphatically without hesitation, her eyes filled with a burning desire to explore.

"I miss you, teacher!"

A barely perceptible hint of satisfaction flashed across Qian Daoliu's eyes, and he said no more.

With a flick of his sleeves, he walked ahead, leading Lin Xia and Ivysaur directly into the Light-Gathering Furnace.

Stepping inside felt like entering another world!

Lin Xia felt as if her vision was suddenly filled with unparalleled golden light!

The light was not dazzling, but rather carried a sacred, magnificent, and overwhelming warmth and power, as if one were standing at the core of the sun!

Lin Xia subconsciously squinted, instinctively circulating her Soul Power to protect herself, barely managing to adapt to the terrifying light intensity.

After all, Lin Xia cannot use Synthesis...

This level of pressure is still quite significant for Lin Xia.

When Lin Xia was finally able to see the inside of the furnace, even though she was mentally prepared, her mind went completely blank for a moment, and she was utterly dumbfounded!

This is hardly the interior of a simple furnace.

This is clearly a strange, vibrant world constructed entirely of light energy!

What shocked him to the point of speechlessness was the several Holy Sun Wheel Flower that bloomed around the core focal point like stars surrounding the moon!

These strange plants, which should have grown only in the sacred garden beneath the Angel God Statue, Absorb the purest divine energy, have now been perfectly transplanted into this man-made "solar furnace"!

Their enormous, golden, wheel-like flowers are now in full bloom in unprecedented splendor!

Each petal was crystal clear, shimmering with a liquid gold-like luster, greedily absorbing the terrifying light energy gathered here, which far exceeded that of the outside world by dozens of times!

What's even more amazing is that these Holy Sun Wheel Flower are not arranged haphazardly.

They were cleverly arranged into a huge, profound array containing the ultimate principles of heaven and earth!

Each flower becomes a node in this light energy matrix, its petals subtly adjusting their angles, like the most precise reflectors and amplifiers, purifying and amplifying the immense light energy that converges!

Boom!

Although Lin Xia was feeling a bit unwell, the Ivysaur, which possessed a powerful life force, was like a thirsty traveler finding a spring of sweet water in this pure, yang, and densely packed environment that was almost like a liquid river of light!

"Dana--!!!"

An unprecedented, earth-shattering roar, filled with extreme ecstasy and bliss, erupted from Ivysaur's mouth!

Its enormous flower bud on its back and the green leaves beside it were frantically devouring the dense, liquid sunlight around it!

The dark purple Rakshasa Divine Mark around the edge of the flower bud, instead of dimming under the pure light, flowed more smoothly and deeply, like a cleansed gemstone, faintly revealing a strange luster.

The dark green scales shimmered under the golden light, and the entire massive body was bathed in a warm and vast torrent of energy. Its aura became more condensed and profound at a visible speed!

Lin Xia felt his depleted Soul Power instantly become full and hot just by standing here and breathing, and even his level 26 cultivation barrier was slightly loosened!

The pure and powerful Soul Power not only nourished his body, but also resonated strongly with the life force within him!

This is not a furnace at all!

This is simply... an ocean of light, a sanctuary of energy!

Qian Daoliu quietly observed the undisguised shock on Lin Xia's face and the subsequent ecstatic joy born from the surge of power. Finally, a faint smile appeared on his lips.

He then spoke immediately, his voice remaining perfectly clear even in the space surging with light energy.

"So, Xiao Xia? Are you satisfied with this Light-Gathering Furnace?"

Lin Xia turned her head sharply to look at Qian Daoliu, the shock in her eyes quickly replaced by an indescribable gratitude.

This is hardly satisfactory.

This is simply the cultivation paradise I've always dreamed of!

Lin Xia took a deep breath; the intense light energy almost suffocated him, and his voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Satisfied! Teacher, it's more than just satisfied! This... this is simply a miracle!"

"With this Light-Gathering Furnace, my cultivation speed will definitely increase exponentially, no, dozens of times! This disciple... this disciple truly doesn't know how to thank Master for his nurturing grace!"

Lin Xia looked at Qian Daoliu with sincere gratitude in his eyes; this generous gift far exceeded his expectations.

Qian Daoliu looked at the genuine gratitude in Lin Xia's eyes, and at the sight of Ivysaur thriving in the holy light, its aura rising steadily. The smile on his face seemed to deepen slightly.

However, Qian Daoliu seemed to have thought of something soon. After a moment of silence, his eyes, which seemed to be able to see into the future, swept over Lin Xia and Ivysaur.

Finally, Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his tone carrying a probing quality unique to elders, even appearing somewhat deliberately gentle, which subtly contrasted with his usual dignified and profound demeanor.

"Xiao Xia, you are exceptionally talented and resilient; your future achievements are limitless. Seeing your diligence makes me very proud."

Qian Daoliu paused, his gaze becoming somewhat distant, and his voice softened.

"Speaking of which... would you like to have an older sister?"

"Elder sister?"
