Chapter 889
Qin Qi silently pondered.
After all, once a woman’s desire is unleashed, it’s as difficult as reaching the heavens to shut it again.
He had proven this many times before.
He was quite curious though; would Bai Qingrou, the Holy Maiden who has reached the Core Formation Stage and is a superpower within the Secret Realm, be an exception?
Even if her body was yearning, Bai Qingrou still struggled to maintain composure.
She swiftly got up and tidied her clothes.
Looking at Qin Qi, she hesitated to speak at first, but after a while said, "Dual cultivation has ended here!"
"From today onwards, we owe each other nothing. If you dare to leak even a fraction of what happened between us, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"
Qin Qi nodded, "Rest assured, Holy Maiden. But there is one thing I’d like to ask the Holy Maiden!"
"The Holy Maiden owes me a favor, does it still count?"
On hearing this, Bai Qingrou couldn’t help but feel slightly ambiguous.
Why was Qin Qi asking this now?
Could it be that he wants to do something even more outrageous to her?
Upon this thought, not only did she not feel any aversion, but she also became exceedingly restless; she even eagerly anticipated Qin Qi using this favor to request something logically unacceptable to her!
Yet, on the surface, Bai Qingrou reprimanded, "Of course it counts. My favor—what do you want to exchange it for? Let me remind you, I advise you not to think about those deplorable things related to dual cultivation!"
Qin Qi raised his eyebrows, as if completely understanding Bai Qingrou’s thoughts.
But he responded, unperturbed, "Ah? It can’t be related to dual cultivation? Then forget it..."
On hearing this, Bai Qingrou’s delicate body trembled.
No way, she had already hinted so obviously, didn’t Qin Qi usually so clever, understand at all?
After all, she couldn’t very well say that she allowed him to bring up matters related to dual cultivation!
"Let me take my leave now!" Qin Qi didn’t say much more, stood up and prepared to leave.
"Wait, wait!" Bai Qingrou suddenly stopped him.
Qin Qi was surprised, "Holy Maiden, what is it?"
The yearning within Bai Qingrou grew increasingly intense.
Especially the unbearable itch between her legs, it left her feeling tremendously uncomfortable.
She wanted.
She wanted more Yang Qi, and even more nourishment!
She knew that if she asked now, Qin Qi would definitely give it to her!
But after a long while.
Reason triumphed over her impulses.
She shook her head, "It’s nothing!"
Qin Qi naturally saw through Bai Qingrou’s inner thoughts, silently thinking: "Alright, I’ll see how long you can endure..."
He remained expressionless.
Quickly turning to leave.
Only after Qin Qi left, did Bai Qingrou’s delicate body tremble.
A wave of powerlessness swept over her, causing disappointment to flicker in her eyes!
The emptiness that had long accompanied her, which had been so familiar, yet now felt exceedingly strange, engulfed her once again.
...
The reason why Qin Qi hurried back was also for a reason.
"These few times of dual cultivation with Bai Qingrou, it truly yielded notable results!" Qin Qi marveled, "I hadn’t thought that after only three sessions, not even delving deeply into dual cultivation, I’m already on the verge of breaking through to Tier Six of the Foundation Establishment Stage!"
He could clearly feel his cultivation loosening, indicating upcoming breakthroughs.
The mysterious woman chuckled, "You should realize, Bai Qingrou’s cultivation is much stronger than yours. When you dual cultivate with her, exchanging Yin and Yang Qi, it naturally benefits you significantly. However, that’s largely due to your rich Yang Qi!"
"If it were a normal person, they might be exhausted halfway through dual cultivation by the party with stronger cultivation."
"That’s also why female cultivators often speak in fear when talking about being furnaces!"
"Furnace refers to the party with lower cultivation being forced to fully provide for the party with stronger cultivation."
Qin Qi listened, lamenting, "Seems like cultivating the Source Celestial Scripture and this Celestial Spirit True Qi truly helped me greatly. If I could conquer Bai Qingrou in one swoop, who knows how much my cultivation would further improve..."
Upon such thoughts, excitement surged within his heart.
He dared not waste time, quickly returning to his residence and immediately began his cultivation breakthrough.
A day passed.
The breakthrough progressed exceptionally smoothly!
Upon reopening his eyes, Qin Qi had already sensed changes in his mana, "Successfully broke through to the sixth tier of Foundation Establishment Stage, though it’s unexpected how much stronger the breakthrough after tier fives gets!"
"The increase in mana feels much richer than before."
The mysterious woman explained, "The higher you go, the more difficult the improvement, but the greater the improvement effect."
"This dense mana is all preparing for Core Formation!"
"Preparing for Core Formation?" Qin Qi was surprised.
The mysterious woman laughed, "Condensing such dense mana into a Golden Core isn’t an easy task."
"One might say, even within the Secret Realm, Core Formation Stage powerhouses are exceedingly rare, one in ten thousand."
"For every hundred cultivators at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage, having one breakthrough into the Core Formation Stage would be quite good!"
Qin Qi took in a breath, "Is the probability that low?"
The mysterious woman lazily said, "Naturally, reaching the Core Formation Stage enables one to condense a light streak with dense mana."
"Utilizing the light streak allows aerial flight. Besides that, Core Formation Stage powerhouses can also refine the fire of Danyang, enhancing the power of magical treasures!"
"The vastness of divine skills, even across the expansive Secret Realm, forms its backbone!"
Qin Qi nodded silently, his thoughts processing before suddenly sensing something!
He stood up, went to the door.
Seeing Luo Yanran waiting at the entrance.
This made him smile, "Miss Luo, since you’re here, why don’t you speak?"
Luo Yanran’s face turned rosy, then she said, "I just felt it right to express my gratitude, after all, Qin Qi, you saved my husband before, and sent such precious gifts to me!"
"I don’t have much to offer you, Qin Qi; these are elixir pills I’ve accumulated within the Tianlan Sect, which greatly benefit cultivation!"
Qin Qi did not take the storage pouch given by Luo Yanran.
Instead, he laughed and said, "There’s no need for thanks. Miss Luo, didn’t you already thanked me after helping your husband before?"
Recalling Qin Qi’s words, Luo Yanran suddenly remembered her scene of serving Qin Qi.
Her face blushed red down to her neck!
She trembled as she said, "Qin Qi, please, don’t mention this again!"
Qin Qi grinned, "Alright, I won’t mention it. But, do you think the Huiming Bamboo I gifted to you can be covered by these few elixir pills?"
"Or do you think I gifted you Huiming Bamboo hoping for your return favor?"
Seeing Qin Qi’s teasing expression, Luo Yanran felt a bit tense, timidly looking at Qin Qi, "What, what should I do..."
