Good news and bad news!
The good news is!
Ling Yi finally First Layer of Qi Refining, officially embarking on the Immortal Path, and successfully gained an additional entry slot.
The bad news is that he will most likely be stuck at the First Layer of Qi Refining, unable to make any progress.
The barriers of this Spiritual Field space are incredibly hard.
Others can expand their spiritual Spiritual Field by continuously absorbing Spiritual Power.
Even a top-tier Spirit Treasure, no, a top-tier Immortal Treasure, couldn't budge Ling Yi's hair here.
"Your Spiritual Root..." Qin Yuran looked at Ling Yi in utter astonishment.
Although outsiders cannot Perception the grade of another person's Spiritual Root, they can judge the grade of the Spiritual Root by observing the flow of Spiritual Power.
On his first time cultivating, Ling Yi's Spiritual Power spread throughout his entire body. Qin Yuran felt that when Ling Yi was cultivating, his hair was filled with Spiritual Power.
What kind of terrifying Spiritual Root could achieve such an effect?
Ling Yi ignored Qin Yuran and instead opened his storage ring.
Now that he possesses Spiritual Power Spiritual Power, he can naturally open the storage ring.
When Ling Yi saw that the storage ring contained nearly ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone, hundreds of bottles of various pills, as well as numerous treasures such as Flying Sword, array flags, and talismans, he was deeply moved.
He nodded with great satisfaction.
Qin Yuran's sincerity was quite evident.
Putting everything else aside, ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone alone are no small sum.
Ling Yi had previously heard from the chubby Cheng Little Tiger that outer sect disciples only received one Low-Grade Spirit Stone per month.
Inner disciples receive five coins, while personally taught disciples receive no more than ten.
Ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stone is quite a lot.
Tell me about Qin Ya's situation, the more details the better!
Since Qin Yuran so sincere, Ling Yi should also reciprocate.
"Your Immortal Treasure can help people improve their Spiritual Root?" Qin Yuran clearly more concerned about this now.
" Ling Yi, never reveal your cultivation level to outsiders, otherwise, it will inevitably attract the attention of those with ulterior motives."
"Here, take this. It will help you conceal your Spiritual Power. Anyone below the Nascent Soul Realm will have difficulty detecting it." Qin Yuran hesitated for a moment, then took off a bracelet and tossed it to Ling Yi.
Ling Yi was taken aback. An unexpected gain?
However, it soon became clear that Qin Yuran worried that the fact that she could cultivate would be exposed, attracting attention and causing further complications.
A person's Spiritual Root are innate and are basically difficult to change.
If it were discovered that Ling Yi's Spiritual Root had improved, specifically from Weak Spiritual Root to a Heaven Pin Spiritual Root...
It would be hard not to cause a sensation.
At that time, she probably won't even have the right to covet Ling Yi Immortal Treasure.
This is not what Qin Yuran wanted to see.
"Thank you very much!" Ling Yi put the bracelet on his wrist.
"Now let's talk about Qin Ya's situation," Ling Yi said again.
Qin Yuran knew that Ling Yi didn't want to talk about the Immortal Treasure, so she didn't ask any more questions.
As for Immortal Treasure and secret realms, those can only be planned slowly.
Now, let's see how Ling Yi helps her defeat Qin Ya!
"That person was brought back by my father ten years ago. According to my father himself, Qin Ya was a filthy beggar at the time."
"It was scavenging for food in the garbage dump when my dad saw how pitiful it was and brought it back, saying it would keep me company..."
Qin Ya, an adopted daughter, has been treated like a biological daughter ever since Qin Hao brought her back to the sect.
They provided Qin Ya with the best cultivation techniques and resources, and personally taught her alchemy, weapon crafting, Formation, and talismans.
On the contrary, Qin Yuran was managed in a hands-off manner.
We'll give you Spirit Stone if you want Spirit Stone, and resources if you want resources.
On the surface, Qin Hao seemed to dote on Qin Yuran more. Even when Qin Yuran made a mistake, he would just say lightly that she was just a child and let it go.
And it was in this way that Qin Yuran gradually cultivated Qin Hao's arrogant, domineering, selfish, irritable, and ignorant personality.
"There's something going on here!" Ling Yi muttered, stroking his chin.
There's clearly something wrong between Qin Hao and his adopted daughter.
But that's not the point.
The key point is the Bond between Qin Ya and Qin Yuran.
"Every time I break through to a higher realm, that person breaks through the same realm the next day, and they're always a small realm higher than me."
"Alchemy, weapon crafting, Formation, and talismans—it's all the same."
Qin Yuran frowned and said, "It's not just that. Whatever technique I cultivate, she cultivates too. If I succeed in my cultivation, then this person will definitely succeed as well."
"This person always tries to outdo me, just wanting to see me make a fool of myself. He's absolutely despicable."
Ling Yi asked, "How is Qin Ya usually?"
"You're such a hypocrite, you green tea b*tch!" Qin Yuran gritted teeth.
Clearly, Qin Yuran suffered quite a bit in this regard.
"No, what I'm asking is, how is Qin Ya usually spoken and behaved? For example, does she often speak in languages you can't understand?"
"Or, make some gestures that you don't understand," Ling Yi asked.
Qin Yuran nodded, looking at Ling Yi in surprise. "How did you know?"
Ling Yi then made an OK sign and asked, "Do you know what this sign means?"
"I've seen that person use it before. Okay, that means it's fine."
It's confirmed, this Qin Ya is a time traveler.
An adopted daughter, a time traveler, she must have a system.
And wouldn't the one with the system be the Protagonist?
"If Qin Ya is the Protagonist, then Qin Yuran is definitely the vicious female villain!"
Qin Yuran, in terms of both personality and behavior, does indeed fit the description of a vicious female villain.
"Me, a vicious female villain? What vicious female villain?" Qin Yuran hearing Ling Yi's words.
Ling Yi glanced at Qin Yuran with a hint of pity.
He continued, "Your adopted sister, it's not just your Old Man who likes her, everyone else seems to fawn over her, right?"
"Hmm, I don't know what's so good about that person. All the senior and junior brothers like her," Qin Yuran said dejectedly.
"That's really true!"
"Then Qin Ya's cheat system is most likely some kind of system that makes her stronger by binding with a villain!"
"Cheat code? What's that?"
"You can think of it as a Immortal Treasure. It's precisely because of this Immortal Treasure that Qin Ya is able to outshine you in every way."
"You probably rarely see Qin Ya practicing, right?"
"Yes, I've never seen her cultivate."
"You mean Qin Ya used this Immortal Treasure to steal my cultivation?"
"It's not about seizing, it's about Copy and amplifying."
"Not only that, your father, your fellow disciples, all like her, also because of this Immortal Treasure!"
Qin Yuran froze, her mind piecing together past memories, and suddenly realized.
"So that's how it is! No wonder that guy was always one step ahead of me; it turns out he possessed Immortal Treasure!"
He then abruptly stood up and was about to walk out of the alchemy furnace.
"I'll go tell my father right away."
Ling Yi grabbed Qin Yuran: "What did you say to your father? That Qin Ya possesses Immortal Treasure? It's useless!"
"Why didn't it work?"
They're the Protagonist, how could they possibly be useful?
"Don't you think your father is being a little too nice to Qin Ya?"
"What do you mean?"
"Then let me ask you, based on your understanding of your father, would he really treat a complete stranger like this for no reason?"
Qin Yuran's face paled. "You mean to say..."
"Either her Immortal Treasure is too domineering, capable of influencing the minds of those around her, or the relationship between your father and this Qin Ya is rather improper."
It's even quite possible that Qin Yuran isn't Qin Hao's biological daughter.
However, Ling Yi didn't say this, fearing that Qin Yuran n't be able to handle it.
"Then, what should I do?" Qin Yuran asked, somewhat bewildered.
"Hmm..." Ling Yi hesitated.
Should I touch this woman who seems to Protagonist?
