Chapter 10 Curious Rewards
"That Qin Baisheng truly deserves to die! Once I reach Foundation Establishment, I will surely kill him!"
Looking at this outcome, Li Qingyi couldn't help but put her hand to her forehead, her face full of helplessness.
He had planned everything meticulously, but he never expected that the employer who bought the golden talisman would be so audacious as to attempt to assassinate the eldest daughter of the Qin family.
"It's like an old man eating poison, he's tired of living... and he even dragged me into it..."
Li Qingyi glanced out the window subconsciously. The sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly. He judged that it must be noon.
"Luckily, I started the simulation early, and everything is still in time." He secretly rejoiced and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"The divine sense of this Foundation Establishment cultivator is truly unreasonable." Li Qingyi recalled the situation in the simulation and longed for the Foundation Establishment realm even more.
"I want to become stronger!"
Just then, the familiar light screen reappeared.
[Reward 1: Qi Refining Level 2 cultivation, which can be used to break through to Qi Refining Level 3 after extraction.]
Reward 2: Fire Resistance. Extraction of this item increases fire-attribute mana and resistance to fire.
Reward Three: The concentrated elixir resulting from the refinement of your physical body will produce an unexpected and delightful surprise upon consumption.
"Hmm? Why are there only three rewards this time?"
Li Qingyi was somewhat taken aback, but then she flipped through the simulation records and suddenly realized what was going on.
In this simulation, I didn't do anything or practice any techniques before I died, so the rewards I could get were naturally reduced.
When he saw the third reward, the scene of himself being refined into a medicinal liquid naturally came to mind.
Thinking of this, Li Qingyi's body couldn't help but twitch.
It hurts, it hurts so much...
As for the second reward, fire resistance? He subconsciously filtered it out.
What's the point of choosing this? Is it so that when you're thrown into the alchemy furnace next time, you can hold out for a few more breaths and experience a longer period of torment?
Did they expect to be like the Monkey King, developing fiery eyes to see through everything, then kicking over the alchemy furnace and causing chaos...?
Li Qingyi quickly shook her head to dispel these random thoughts.
His gaze lingered between reward one and reward three.
"Let's not talk about cultivation level, but this medicinal liquid..." Li Qingyi's Adam's apple bobbed, feeling a little nauseous.
"Does this count as drinking one's own corpse water? The system is way too advanced." Li Qingyi couldn't help but shudder and complain, "It's a bit grotesque..."
Ultimately, he chose reward three.
It wasn't that he had any curiosity; it was mainly that Li Qingyi was very curious about what this unexpected surprise was.
As the choice was made, a halo of light swirled before my eyes, and a palm-sized white jade bottle quietly appeared on the table in front of me.
"That's quite thoughtful, knowing to provide a container." Li Qingyi picked up the jade bottle; it felt slightly heavy in his hand. He weighed it in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly.
"Wait a minute, how could someone as big as me be condensed into such a small bottle? System, you wouldn't be... taking a kickback, would you?"
Li Qingyi strongly suspected that the system was taking kickbacks, but he had no evidence.
Driven by curiosity, he examined the jade bottle closely.
"The workmanship is exquisite."
He took a deep breath and gently pulled off the cork from the bottle.
Before he could even get close enough to smell it, a medicinal fragrance, infused with the essence of herbs and plants, instantly filled the room. Just a whiff of it made him feel invigorated.
Li Qingyi licked her dry lips, a thought rising in her mind.
"We've already chosen it... we can't let it go to waste, right? Maybe it really is something good?"
Finally, he closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and drank it down in one gulp.
As soon as the medicine entered his body, he sat down, closed his eyes, concentrated, and looked inward to perceive every slight change within his body.
However... nothing happened.
After a while...
Li Qingyi: "???"
"Did I get scammed?"
In a moment of surprise, an indescribable sense of comfort welled up from the depths of her soul, and a tingling, numb sensation instantly spread throughout her body, causing Li Qingyi to groan involuntarily.
The feeling was so wonderful that Li Qingyi couldn't help but gasp.
He felt as if his soul was being soaked in warm water, being washed and nourished again and again, and his previously somewhat sluggish senses became exceptionally sharp and clear.
The feeling of comfort on a spiritual level lasted for a full quarter of an hour.
When the feeling of comfort subsided, Li Qingyi finally came to her senses from this indescribable sensation.
The moment he opened his eyes, he felt refreshed and clear-headed.
What surprised him most was that he had gained divine consciousness.
Within a ten-foot radius of his body, the information obtained by his divine sense was incredibly detailed.
The wood grain of the tables and chairs, the subtle texture of the floor tiles, even the dust particles in the crevices...
Every detail was perfectly captured by his divine sense.
Li Qingyi was overjoyed, for this would be of great help to him as he cultivated the art of talismans.
"Truly wonderful!" Li Qingyi savored the feeling and couldn't help but praise it.
As time passed, after about thirty breaths, a distinct feeling of weakness and dizziness came over me.
"Thirty breaths?" Li Qingyi's eyes were bright, and she was not disappointed.
"For someone at the second level of Qi Refining, this is enough! It's extremely helpful for me, whether it's escaping or drawing talismans."
He wasn't greedy either. As his cultivation improved and his soul grew stronger, Li Qingyi believed that his stamina would definitely increase.
After resting for a while and waiting for the fatigue in her soul to lessen, Li Qingyi immediately got up and walked towards Ling'er's room.
In the simulation, at the last moment of death, it was Ling'er who came to save him, and even Qin Baisheng, who was in the Foundation Establishment stage, was wary of her.
This is his greatest asset at the moment. As long as he doesn't get caught in front of Qin Baisheng, there's still room for maneuver.
Although Li Qingyi didn't understand why she saved her, she could only seize this sliver of hope.
If things don't work out, then I'll have to run away beforehand.
The moment he pushed open the door, a strange feeling welled up inside him.
He stopped and looked inward.
A faint blush appeared on the attribute-less magical power within his body.
He sensed it carefully and then realized that it was actually the power of the fire spirit!
"Truly, an unexpected surprise!" Li Qingyi's eyes gleamed, her heart filled with joy.
How could he not be delighted to have gained divine consciousness and fire spirit power in succession?
More importantly, this layer of fire elemental power is like an outer garment, which can be freely controlled and does not change the essence of his attribute-less magic.
Only when he actively guides it will the magic attribute instantly transform into the fire attribute.
"Wonderful! Absolutely wonderful!" he exclaimed repeatedly.
Its advantage lies in its strong compatibility with attribute-free magic, allowing it to cultivate all kinds of magic.
However, the disadvantages are also obvious: the power of any spell of any attribute will be naturally one or two tenths weaker than that of a cultivator with the corresponding attribute of mana.
If Li Qingyi uses attribute-free magic to cast the Fire Serpent Technique, its power will only be 90% of the normal level.
Then, when a cultivator with a fire-attribute spiritual root unleashes this attack, its power can reach eleven percent! The difference is self-evident.
Now, this biggest weakness has been addressed.
More importantly, he was finally able to draw second-tier fire serpent talismans without any obstacles.
"It's truly a case of 'searching high and low without finding it, only to have it come to you effortlessly!'"
Li Qingyi suppressed her excitement and strode towards Ling'er's room.
