"I want ten martial arts techniques!" Ling Yi said to Mengli.
"Seriously? You're taking advantage of the chaos now?" Mengli said, displeased.
"This is a deal. Alternatively, you can leave now with Senior Sister Gao Lan Gao Lan, and come back after she breaks through," Ling Yi said with a shrug.
"Here you go!" Mengli casually tossed ten jade slips to Ling Yi.
Although she hadn't known Ling Yi for long, Mengli had already gained some understanding of Ling Yi personality.
Moreover, she had already acquired more than thirty cultivation techniques in such a short time, even though it was only ten.
What's done is done.
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection for you has increased by 2, current Affection is 11!]
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has exceeded 10 points. Monster-killing experience points increased by 10%, and drop rate increased by 1%!]
"You even give Affection? Reaching 10 Affection points comes with this benefit?" Mengli's eyes lit up.
You see, it's still hard to say who will make a profit and who will lose in this deal!
But the next moment, Mengli was dumbfounded.
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has decreased by 3 points. Current Affection 8 points!]
[Ding, monster kill experience and drop rate bonuses have been cancelled.]
Mengli glanced at Ling Yi Ling Yi, only to find him looking at her with displeasure.
"Seriously, Senior Sister Mengli, is this for real?"
What does that mean?
Ling Yi tossed the five jade slips directly to Mengli: "These are all duplicate cultivation technique jade slips. Are you trying to play word games with me?"
"Oh? Really? I didn't notice. Don't be angry, I didn't mean to!"
After these cultivation techniques were revealed, Mengli hadn't looked at them carefully yet, so naturally she didn't know that most of them were duplicates.
After searching through the System Space for a long time, Mengli finally found nine unique jade slips containing cultivation techniques.
Give it to Ling Yi!
However, this time the Affection did not increase.
"Why didn't you improve?" Mengli blinked and asked.
"Improve what?" Ling Yi looked at Mengli suspiciously.
"No, it's nothing!"
You can't exactly ask, "Why aren't you increasing my Affection?" It's a system matter; you can't say that, or the system will run away. You just have to keep it to yourself.
Mengli's eyes darted around.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't mean to give you a duplicate cultivation technique. As compensation, I'll give you two more bottles of Spirit-Nurturing Pill and a spatial ring."
As Mengli spoke, she handed two porcelain bottles and a gold ring with fine patterns to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi took it, checked it, and nodded with great satisfaction.
I wonder what effect the Spirit-Nurturing Pill Nourishing Pill will have on Ling Yi.
But the spatial ring is really amazing.
This spatial ring is far more advanced than the storage ring Mengli gave him this morning.
The storage ring was something Mengli had promised Ling Yi before.
But there is only less than 10 Cosmic Cube of space.
A square space measuring 1 meter high, 10 meters long, and 1 meter wide.
It wasn't much different from the storage bag Shen Qingyue had given him, except it was a bit more convenient to wear.
However, this storage ring has a volume of 1000 Cosmic Cube.
It's 10 meters long, wide, and high, but it can hold a lot of things.
Ling Yi was very satisfied.
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection has increased by 10 points, currently at 18!]
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection has reached 10 points. Monster-killing experience increased by 10%, and drop rate increased by 1%!]
Mengli was quite satisfied upon hearing the system notification.
"System, if Ling Yi's Affection reaches 20 points, will my experience points increase by 20% and my drop rate increase by 2%?"
[Ding, host is very clever!]
Mengli pursed her lips, sensing that the system's words had a hidden meaning.
"Hey, stop chatting, I can't take it anymore," Shen Qingyue said.
"Okay!" Ling Yi nodded.
Then he raised his right hand and softly shouted, "Bind!"
A Light Ball rose from the center of Ling Yi's palm. The Light Ball suddenly expanded and then turned into thin lines of blue cesium.
The blue threads, as if they had eyes, flew towards the centipede Xiaoyao.
Then, a nearly imperceptible blue thread wrapped around all the centipede Xiaoyao around them.
Like a trapped rice dumpling, it was bound to the spot, only able to twist and struggle, completely losing its ability to move and attack.
"As expected, the Spirit Gang is much stronger than the Blood God Gang Jin. My thinking was correct." Ling Yi nodded in satisfaction.
Previously, Ling Yi would not have been able to control so many targets simultaneously.
Even if you can control it, it will be opened instantly.
After all, this is Gang Jin silk thread, and its strength is not high.
However, after achieving the Spirit Gang, Tilling Changes occurred.
Although his Spiritual Power is still at the Great Heavenly Master level, his Battle Power has increased a hundredfold.
And most importantly, the Spirit Gang effects look much more serious.
If it were the Blood God Gang Jin), with its blood-red and black special effects, Ling Yi would genuinely dare not use it.
If they were mistaken for evil spirits, that would be troublesome.
It's great right now!
"It seems I need to get a copy of the cultivation techniques for Five Elements Spiritual Root," Ling Yi thought to himself.
Mengli and Shen Qingyue were both dumbfounded when they saw this.
"What kind of technique is that? It's incredibly powerful!"
"This is a martial arts technique that I developed myself. Also, this technique can only last for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, so hurry up and make your move."
"Yes, yes, these are all experience points."
Next, Mengli was ecstatic.
This monster-slaying is so satisfying! The monsters have lost all ability to resist, and all she needs to do is control her Flying Sword to slash them down.
Immediately, system notification sounds rang out one after another.
[Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Xiaoyao, gained 100 experience points!]
[Ding! Killed a Qi Refining Xiaoyao, gained 200 experience points!]
[bite,...]
[Ding! Congratulations, host! Your experience points meet the upgrade requirements. Upgrade now?]
"Save it for now!" Mengli didn't immediately choose to upgrade.
One reason is that leveling up is too conspicuous; it's not too late to level up after returning to the sect, since the experience points won't disappear anyway.
Another advantage is that experience points can not only improve one's cultivation level, but also enhance one's cultivation techniques and magic weapon levels, serving Duoduo purposes.
It's a bit of a waste to use it only for upgrading cultivation.
One more thing, she's now at the Foundation Establishment Second Layer, having gone from the Qi Refining Fifth Layer to the Foundation Establishment Second Layer overnight.
This speed is already quite outrageous.
If Wuji the improvement any further, Mom might get scared.
At this moment, Shen Qingyue had some free time.
After glancing at Gao Lan and then at Mengli, I suddenly felt that my Sign-In System wasn't so appealing anymore.
"System, is there a way for me to quickly increase my cultivation level?"
[Ding, Host, don't envy Gao Lan and Mengli. Our system is the best.]
Shen Qingyue looked disgusted. What a joke.
At their current pace, Mengli and Gao Lan could probably reach the Golden Core, or even the Nascent Soul, after just a few days of grinding in the Centipede Forest.
What about me? I signed in last night and got a sword, Third Pin magic weapon, the Azure Frost Sword.
The sword Shen Qingyue is using now is the Azure Frost Sword.
The sword is good, but ultimately, cultivation level is what gives people real peace of mind.
[Ding, host, you haven't used your daily check-in yet. Want to give it a try?]
Shen Qingyue looked at Gao Lan and Mengli again.
"Check-in!"
[Ding, congratulations host, you have received a Realm Advancement Card for signing in.]
[Ding! Ling Yi's Affection towards you has reached 10 points. You are hereby awarded an extra Realm Advancement Card!]
Shen Qingyue's eyes lit up, and she quickly asked, "Can this Realm Advancement Card directly allow me to advance to the Golden Core stage?"
[Ding, what sweet dream are you having, host? A Realm Advancement Card can raise your realm by one minor level.]
[Ding! Important reminder to the host: increasing Ling Yi's Affection is the key!]
Shen Qingyue nodded. She had come with Mengli and the others to do team quests precisely because she wanted to increase her Affection with Ling Yi.
But how can I improve?
"System, can I give this Realm Advancement Card to someone else?"
