Chapter 886
Luo Yanran heard this and her beautiful eyes were full of surprise.
Even Gao Qianqiu beside her was slightly stunned, thinking Qin Qi must be joking.
After all, a thousand points in merit is priceless, earned with blood and sweat on the battlefield!
Even he had never seen anyone giving it away just like that!
"Junior Brother, are you serious?"
Qin Qi replied, "Of course, I’m very serious!"
Luo Yanran quickly spoke up to stop him, "Qin Qi, this is absolutely impossible. I cannot accept such a grand gift from you!"
"What do you mean ’grand gift’!" Qin Qi waved his hand, "Steward Gao, deduct directly from my merit points!"
Luo Yanran remained somewhat reserved, "Qin Qi, this gift is priceless, I..."
Qin Qi turned and smiled, "Miss Luo, this item is priceless, but compared to your value in my eyes, it pales in comparison!"
Seeing Qin Qi’s casual demeanor, Luo Yanran’s delicate body trembled and she fell silent.
Imagine, even after her marriage to Baiqing Residence, he had never given her such a precious gift so casually.
In his eyes, he never treated her as someone exceptionally cherished.
Contrarily, Qin Qi...
Qin Qi naturally noticed Luo Yanran’s gaze.
When he saw surprise and joy in her eyes, he knew he was close to completely capturing her heart!
Meanwhile, Gao Qianqiu promptly deducted Qin Qi’s merit points and presented the Ming Bamboo to Luo Yanran.
Luo Yanran happily accepted the Ming Bamboo, looking at Qin Qi with a complex expression.
Her rosy lips parted, wanting to speak, her bright eyes flickering with a different kind of light.
For a moment, she said nothing.
In her heart, she merely wondered quietly what she could do to repay Qin Qi’s kindness!
But Qin Qi remained composed, continuing to browse the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion.
Casually, he asked, "With so many treasures in the Treasure Pavilion, what must the scene inside the Thousand Treasure Pavilion be like!"
Gao Qianqiu chuckled, "Ah, I wouldn’t know, the Thousand Treasure Pavilion only offers ten slots each time, and those who enter are either exceptionally talented or powerful."
"People like us, ordinary folk, have no chance of laying hands on anything there!"
"But I’ve heard the Thousand Treasure Pavilion houses precious items that can’t be found anywhere in the outside world. I don’t know what these treasured items are, though."
Seeing that Gao Qianqiu didn’t know either, Qin Qi didn’t ask further.
He wandered around the place.
Failing to find anything to his liking, he decided to give up and planned to head back home.
But just at this moment
A mysterious woman’s voice suddenly echoed, "Qin Qi, go to the third counter on the left side!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi immediately followed the instructions, hurriedly proceeding to the third counter on the left side.
Upon reaching the destination, his gaze was caught by a nail that seemed to have some age, and was covered in dust from being stored for a long time!
"This is..." Qin Qi pondered.
Gao Qianqiu promptly stepped over, "Oh? This is the Shocking God Needle, a damaged spiritual treasure. How come, Junior Brother, are you interested in this Shocking God Needle?"
"Yeah, somewhat interested!" Qin Qi said, "How many merit points for the Shocking God Needle?"
After all, this was something the mysterious woman wanted.
Gao Qianqiu sighed, "Even though it’s a damaged spiritual treasure, it’s still a spiritual treasure! A celestial item, worth four thousand merit points!"
"This..."
Luo Yanran feared Qin Qi would purchase blindly and reminded him, "Junior Brother Qin, although this spiritual treasure is precious, it’s important to be cautious when purchasing!"
"You cultivate the gold attribute technique, which does not align with this Shocking God Needle. Beyond that, the best phase for using this treasure is the Core Formation Stage!"
"With your cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Stage, even if it’s a damaged spiritual treasure, the efficacy you can extract is less than a tenth!"
"Spending four thousand merit points to buy it is quite unworthy!"
Gao Qianqiu responded with a chuckle, "The Senior Sister does make a point. Junior Brother Qin, you can surely buy something else with your merit points!"
Qin Qi decisively stated, "No need, it’s going to be just this Shocking God Needle!"
"Alright!"
Seeing Qin Qi’s firm decision, Gao Qianqiu naturally didn’t say more.
After all, Qin Qi was his client, being able to spend like this had made him quite pleased already.
He directly deducted merit points from Qin Qi’s battlefield token.
Then, he presented the Shocking God Needle with both hands!
Qin Qi received the Shocking God Needle, putting it directly into his storage bag.
With his merit points almost spent, he certainly had no reason to stay, saying, "I’ve spent pretty much all my merit points. I’ll leave with Senior Sister Luo then!"
Gao Qianqiu promptly gave him a respectful send-off.
Soon, Qin Qi and Luo Yanran flew away on a flying artifact.
By the time they returned to Tianqing City, evening had arrived!
Qin Qi returned to his residence, took out the Shocking God Needle, and began to study it.
He attempted to channel mana into the Shocking God Needle, but found it useless.
The mysterious woman laughed, "No need to waste your time, the Shocking God Needle relies on consuming divine thought!"
"Oh? Divine thought?"
He immediately injected divine thought into it.
However, his divine thought entered as if it were swallowed by the ocean, disappearing in an instant.
"Dammit..."
This frightened Qin Qi, "My divine thought was consumed in no time, yet I still can’t activate the Shocking God Needle!"
The mysterious woman spoke, "That shouldn’t be surprising, Luo Yanran was right. Although it’s a damaged spiritual treasure, it’s beyond what someone in the Foundation Establishment Stage could utilize!"
"Regardless of the spiritual treasure, the demand for mana consumption is always high. Without reaching the Core Formation Stage, you can’t utilize it!"
Qin Qi replied with a wry smile, "Then why tell me to buy this thing?"
"Because the Shocking God Needle wasn’t meant for you to use!" the mysterious woman said gently.
"What do you mean?" Qin Qi looked puzzled.
The mysterious woman smiled, "It’s meant for me to use!"
"Hmm? For you to use?" Qin Qi was taken aback.
She patiently explained, "The greatest effect of the Shocking God Needle is manipulation through divine thought, aimed directly at the enemy’s soul!"
"Your divine thought can’t control it, but I can. With this treasure, my soul-bound divine thought within you can also have some utility!"
"In critical moments, I can manipulate the Shocking God Needle to assist you to some extent!"
"With my divine thought wielding the Shocking God Needle, even against a Core Formation Stage cultivator, I can guarantee leaving them with some injuries!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qi showed excitement.
"It can injure even a Core Formation Stage cultivator?"
This undoubtedly provided him with some self-preservation leverage!
