The hall was noisy and bustling, but Logo and Qiya seemed oblivious. They closed their eyes, their breaths mingling, and with the Silver Star Spear as their bond, they achieved some kind of strange connection.
Scattered silver starlight fell from the unknown, bringing a sliver of light to this dark space.
"Where is this?" Qiya cautiously surveyed her surroundings, her body tensing as if formed from concentrated spirit, like a female leopard. In an instant, she shed her previous innocence and purity, becoming heroic and spirited, her aura surpassing that of many men.
"I thought she was a Xiaobai, but it turns out she has thorns among the flowers." Logo leisurely observed the girl's back, a slight smile appearing on his lips.
As if sensing his presence, Qiya turned around, her bright eyes meeting the starlight, like two crystal-clear obsidian stones, radiating a captivating aura.
"This is the spiritual space of the Silver Star Spear. Every Transcendent weapon possesses its own spirituality to varying degrees. When the spirituality becomes concentrated to a certain extent, it transforms into this kind of spiritual space, which you can think of as the brain of intelligent beings." Logo walked towards Qiya, explaining as he went, "If you want to achieve Unity of Person and Weapon, you must completely integrate your own spiritual consciousness into this spiritual space."
Hearing his words, Qiya Ya's bright eyes widened slightly. "A spiritual space? How did you manage to bring me here?"
The girl's clear, melodious voice, like pearls falling on a jade plate, carried a deep sense of doubt.
Logo looked at her and suddenly smiled, "Didn't I tell you? I have a tiny bit of insight talent. Using the spirit as a guide and the Fire of Birth as my support, I can pave a channel of consciousness. Although this channel will cause me a lot of damage, who can blame me when we hit it off so instantly?"
The young man's refined and aloof face, and the direct gaze directed at her, made Qiya awkwardly smooth a strand of hair at her temple and turn her head away.
As the dignified White Wolf Duke, even if she were the only direct descendant left in the entire clan, her status would still be terrifyingly high. Moreover, Qiya's own strength was undeniable; she was Epic powerhouse.
With these two advantages, almost no man her age dared to face her directly, or even get close to her.
Of course, even if she wanted to get closer, she wouldn't have the chance. Qiya was a complete homebody, and with her master's strict control, she focused all her attention on cultivation. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to achieve such amazing accomplishments at just one hundred years old.
In this situation, apart from her master and some elders of higher status, Logo was the first man in front of her who was calm and composed, even with a hint of teasing, which undoubtedly gave Qiya a different and novel feeling.
"Are you... greatly affected?" A slightly soft voice echoed, Logo's lips curled into a slight smile. "Very! Very much!"
"Should we stop?" Qiya asked, her expression tightening.
Logo shook his head. "No need, otherwise it would all be for nothing. Let's continue. You don't need to feel guilty. I have my own reasons for doing this. Once you've achieved Unity of Person and Weapon, just give me a chance to be friends."
After saying that, Logo didn't give Qiya a chance to speak again, pointing to a certain direction in the sky, "Pour all your Divine Power into that spot, don't hold back, go all out."
"Okay!" Qiya seemed to trust Logo completely, or rather, she trusted the Grand Elder and was certain that the latter would not harm her, so she decisively did as Logo said.
A pure yet fiery spiritual energy flew out from Qiya's body, like a ray of light rising against the tide, carrying specks of golden radiance.
Wherever it passed, the darkness was dispelled, and a gray star came into view.
"Very good. Now, follow my guidance and completely illuminate this star." Logo spoke, and his entire body suddenly transformed into a ball of golden-blue flame, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the star.
After an unknown amount of time, the dull gray stars, like polished gems, became dazzling and bright, illuminating part of the dark space with a clear and bright glow.
"Is this all there is to it?" Qiya stared at the dazzling stars before her with her bright, sparkling eyes.
"Okay, that's enough for today." Logo's voice was weak and listless.
After saying this, he vanished in a flash.
Seeing this, Qiya pursed her lips, stared at the place where Logo had disappeared, and after a moment of stunned silence, her delicate body collapsed and dissipated like dust, leaving only this dark space, which remained standing still, as if it had come from the beginning of time.
"How are you?" Qiya looked at the boy in front of her, her voice unusually concerned, a rare occurrence for this autistic girl.
"It's nothing, just a bit of Divine Power depletion. I'll be fine after a rest." Logo said, taking out a bottle of pale white potion and drinking it in one gulp. His Divine Power, which had been greatly depleted, began to recover rapidly.
"Thank you for your hard work. Here, take this." Qiya reached out and touched the storage ring on her index finger, which flashed with a bright light. Then, a bottle of potion appeared in her palm.
"Rhythm of the Sea?" Logo immediately recognized the item in Qiya's hand. It was a Legendary potion with similar effects to the pale white potion he had drunk before, both restoring Divine Power.
However, compared to the Rhythm of the Sea, what I just drank was utter garbage.
"Here you go!" Qiya reached out her hand, not surprised that Logo recognized the potion in his hand. In the girl's opinion, it was perfectly normal for someone who could bring her into the Silver Star Spear's spiritual space to recognize a bottle of potion.
"Tsk, then I'll gladly accept it, you little rich lady." Logo smiled faintly, took the Rhythm of the Sea Potion from Qiya's hand, didn't drink it, but put it away.
"Why aren't you drinking?" Qiya looked at the boy's actions, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Logo shrugged and feigned a sigh, "Such a good potion, just to restore Divine Power, is such a waste. I have a whole family to support, I have to be thrifty."
"It's alright, I have plenty of these potions. If you want some, I'll give you some more." As she spoke, Qiya took out a dozen more bottles of the Rhythm of the Sea and placed them in front of Logo, her big, bright eyes blinking as she looked at him.
Logo's face stiffened at first, then he suddenly understood what it felt like to be defeated by those he had defeated with his immense power... This was just too good.
"Well, although I can't accept undeserved praise, I'll still need to help you with the Unity of Person and Weapon later, so consider this an early payment." With that, Logo put away the potions.
"Speaking of which, after lighting up that star, my connection with the Silver Star Spear has indeed become much stronger, as if it is gradually merging into me." Qiya held the silver spear in both hands, her beautiful eyes filled with joy.
"That's right. Once all the stars in that dark space are fully lit, you'll be able to completely merge with this weapon, controlling it as if it were your own arm," Logo said with a smile as he refined the potion within his body.
Qiya asked, "How many stars are there in this dark space?"
"I estimate around seventeen or eighteen. At a rate of lighting up four to five per day, it should take about three or four days," Logo replied.
Upon hearing this, Qiya's eyes flickered slightly, "Three or four days... is it always like today?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Logo asked, feigning surprise.
"N-nothing..." Qiya's pretty face suddenly turned red. She secretly raised her eyes to look at the boy in front of her, but their eyes met. She quickly lowered her head shyly.
"What an innocent girl, it's making me a little hesitant to make a move." A strange thought popped into Logo's mind. He had originally just wanted to get closer to this White Wolf Duke and then trick him into investing.
But he really didn't expect this woman to have such a personality, which made even the usually thick-skinned Logo feel a little guilty, although he quickly and Human Dao Destruction that feeling.
When it comes to making money, using a handsome man as a pawn isn't shameful.
