The Price of the System's Rewards!
The people behind them all looked in other directions.
They all pretended not to see anything.
Xiao Qingyi looked up at the sky, his face full of seriousness, and sighed, "The weather is nice today, perfect for cultivation."
Wang Duanshan and the others covered their mouths and chuckled, saying nothing more, and silently turned away.
Soon, the door closed gently.
The courtyard returned to peace.
The wind rustled through the treetops, and ripples spread across the pond.
Days passed.
Lu Qing'an did not show up again.
While accompanying Lu Qing'an, Xue Tianfei also managed to refine the Pool of Faith Power in her spare time.
The two even devised a special dual cultivation Cultivation Method, and their strength increased rapidly.
For Xue Tianfei.
That kind of improvement is incomparable to ordinary cultivation.
It was as if the countless Incense and Fire Prayer Power of heaven and earth had transformed into the purest power, continuously flowing into her body.
Her skill level was steadily improving almost every day.
If this speed were to get out, it would be enough to shake the entire Nine Directions and Ten Domains.
Sunrise and moonset.
The moon sets and the sun rises.
It's all the same anyway.
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Finally, one morning...
Inside the room.
Lu Qing'an lay listlessly on the bed, her eyelids almost closed.
His face was pale, his eyes were unfocused, and he looked completely drained.
"I can't take it anymore..."
Lu Qing'an's voice was hoarse, as if it were being squeezed out from between his teeth.
"My wife, I need to sleep for a few days."
Xue Tianfei sat on the edge of the bed, but her complexion was completely different from his.
Her skin was as white as snow, her eyes sparkled with spring, and her whole body was full of Qi and Blood, as if she had just undergone a tremendous transformation.
In particular, the energy within her body was several times stronger than it had been a month ago.
She gently raised her hand and rubbed Lu Qing'an's chest, her voice so soft it seemed to melt spring water.
"My lord, shall we not continue?"
Upon hearing these words, Lu Qing'an nearly fainted.
Should we continue?
If this continues, this invincible big shot might become the first man in the Nine Directions and Ten Domains to be completely drained!
"It won't work."
Lu Qing'an waved his hand with difficulty.
"I really can't take it anymore, I'm a bit overwhelmed."
Xue Tianfei blinked, a hint of lingering satisfaction still in her eyes.
Lu Qing'an's heart skipped a beat at the sight, and he quickly closed his eyes.
Cannot be viewed.
If we keep looking, something bad is going to happen.
He sighed deeply in his heart.
Goodness!
Indeed, there are only oxen that die from exhaustion, not fields that are ruined by plowing.
The ancients were right.
However, although this month has been exhausting, it hasn't been without its rewards.
The system notification sounded almost every few days.
Lu Qing'an knew that he should have accumulated quite a few lottery chances during this period.
After I wake up, I'll have a good time playing cards.
When the time comes, it would be best to get a complete set of all the sacred objects!
Let's make arrangements for Miaomiao and the other children first.
Give Xue Tianfei another protective treasure.
Xiao Qingyi and the others shouldn't be left behind either.
He could also get a share of the scraps from the other people in the courtyard who followed him, including Li Muchen.
As Lu Qing'an pondered, his consciousness grew increasingly heavy.
He soon fell into a deep sleep.
Looking at his exhausted appearance, Xue Tianfei felt a pang of heartache in her eyes.
She didn't bother Lu Qing'an anymore.
She simply pulled the blanket up for him gently, then leaned down and lightly kissed his forehead.
"My lord, please get some rest."
After saying that, she quietly got up, put on her clothes, and left the room.
The door closed gently.
Xue Tianfei summoned the Pool of Faith Power again and began refining it.
At this moment, she fully understood just how terrifying this Pool of Faith Power truly was.
During this month, she not only cultivated using the Pool of Faith Power, but also continuously strengthened her foundation through dual cultivation with Lu Qing'an.
Combined, her strength increased to a level that even she found unbelievable.
In the past, she would never have dared to imagine that she could complete such a transformation in just one month.
And all of this is because of Lu Qing'an.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianfei couldn't help but smile slightly.
She looked towards the room, her gaze incredibly gentle.
Three days and three nights passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Qing'an finally woke up.
When he opened his eyes, he was still somewhat dazed.
The room was quiet, and sunlight streamed in through the window, casting dappled patterns on the floor.
Lu Qing'an lay there for a while before slowly sitting up.
He rubbed his head and let out a long breath.
"It's finally recovered somewhat."
After saying that, he couldn't help but frown again.
Something's not right.
Something is very wrong.
Logically speaking, with his current cultivation level, he should no longer be considered an ordinary person.
Even if it were a month, let alone a month, it wouldn't be this tiring.
After all, cultivators Qi and Blood as powerful as dragons, boundless spiritual energy, and their physical bodies have already undergone a complete transformation.
Moreover, he is Lu Qing'an.
An existence that even someone like Li Wensong says he can't see through.
But this time, he felt completely exhausted, as if all his energy had been drained.
This feeling is not like simple fatigue.
It's more like something inside the body was quietly taken away.
It is said that Heaven and Earth do not allow the strong to do too many of these things.
But he always felt something was off!
Lu Qing'an narrowed his eyes.
The next moment, as if he had thought of something, his expression gradually became strange.
"System."
There was no response.
Lu Qing'an sneered.
"Come out."
The system remained silent.
Lu Qing'an's eyelids twitched.
OK.
Not going to say anything, huh?
The less they say, the more suspicious it is!
He took a deep breath, his tone becoming more dangerous.
Is it possible that the reason I'm so tired isn't because of the limitations of heaven and earth, not because my cultivation level is insufficient, and not because my wife is too powerful?
"But it's related to you?"
The air fell silent for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, the system's voice finally rang in Lu Qing'an's mind.
[Forehead...]
His voice, surprisingly, carried a hint of guilt.
[You still found out.]
Lu Qing'an's eyes widened suddenly.
"Just as I thought!"
He immediately sat up straight.
"You bastard!!!"
At this moment, Lu Qing'an was truly shocked.
He was just testing the waters, but the system actually accepted it.
Good heavens!
He said, "How could I possibly be that weak!"
It turns out the system was secretly behind it all!
The system seemed to realize it couldn't avoid it any longer, so it simply changed its tone and suddenly became righteous and indignant.
[Host, don't get angry yet.]
Lu Qing'an sneered.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry at all."
You'd better give me a reasonable explanation.
The system coughed lightly.
[Think about it carefully, what items has this system given you recently that weren't incredibly powerful?]
[The Pool of Faith Power offers numerous Saint-level treasures as rewards, various lottery opportunities, and the potential to draw even more Saint-level treasures that would be extremely powerful even in the Hongmeng Holy Realm.]
Did these things just appear out of thin air?
Lu Qing'an frowned.
"What's the meaning?"
The system's voice became even more assertive.
[If this system didn't extract your essence, how could it condense so many good things?]
Therefore, strictly speaking, you can't blame this system.
This system is for your own good, for your child's good, and for the good of your whole family!
Lu Qing'an: "..."
The room fell into a deathly silence once again.
