Inside a cave within a secret realm of the Void God Valley.
A handsome and refined young man sat cross-legged in a massive pool.
Countless precious spiritual herbs and a considerable amount of spiritual energy liquid had been added to the pool.
The power of thousand-year-old spiritual milk was still circulating slowly within Jiang Li's body.
Beside the pool, Li Qin watched Jiang Li cultivating in the water, her eyes filled with envy.
This Jiang Li was too extravagant, using so many spiritual herbs for a medicinal bath and cultivating with thousand-year-old spiritual milk.
He was more extravagant than disciples from sacred lands…
At this moment, Jiang Li was bare-chested, his body radiating a flowing, colorful glow under the nourishment of spiritual energy.
Jiang Li's skin was so delicate, Li Qin longed to touch it, her eyes practically glued to him.
If only you weren't a disciple of the Demonic Sect, Li Qin couldn't help but think.
So handsome, with such talent and strength… it's a real shame…
When Jiang Li first disrobed and entered the pool to cultivate, Li Qin had been a bit shy.
But after watching for several days, she had become addicted, liking him more and more with each passing day…
Her affection for Jiang Li had soared rapidly over these past few days, now nearing 50. Of course, Jiang Li was completely unaware of this.
This was even with Jiang Li constantly cultivating.
After a while, a ferocious aura erupted from Jiang Li's body.
The surrounding spiritual energy was absorbed into him like a whale swallowing water.
Is Jiang Li about to break through again? Li Qin's eyes lit up.
Two days prior, Jiang Li's realm had already reached the fourth level of Core Formation.
Another breakthrough now would bring him to the fifth level of Core Formation.
To go from the first to the fifth level of Core Formation in just a few days, Jiang Li's talent was indeed astonishing.
Although the consumption of resources was immense, Jiang Li was not lacking in cultivation resources at all.
Li Qin suddenly realized that she had also contributed quite a few resources to Jiang Li's breakthrough.
"Boom, boom, boom!!!"
Just then, Jiang Li's aura intensified.
The aura of the fifth level of Core Formation erupted from Jiang Li's body.
Jiang Li slowly opened his eyes.
A violent power surged within his body.
Breaking through cultivation realms was becoming increasingly difficult, Jiang Li thought.
The spiritual herbs and liquids in his pool were incredibly valuable, not to mention he had also used thousand-year-old spiritual milk and spirit essence pills.
Even Jiang Li felt a pang of heartache using thousand-year-old spiritual milk, which was quite beneficial for cultivators in the Spirit River realm, for his own cultivation.
But there was no choice. His current realm was too low; without using these precious cultivation resources, he couldn't rapidly improve his strength.
After all, others started cultivating from a young age, but he had transmigrated at sixteen, missing too much of the early stages. He could only resort to drastic measures.
Resources could be found again, but without strength, he could only endure attacks.
After a brief period of adjustment, Jiang Li decided to venture out again to seek more cultivation resources.
There were still many unexplored areas in this secret realm.
Jiang Li adjusted his condition to its optimal state and prepared to explore.
"Hey girl, what are you spacing out about? Haven't seen enough after five days?" Jiang Li said nonchalantly.
Not far away, Li Qin was still staring intently at Jiang Li, her eyes practically sparkling.
"Not enough…" Li Qin replied instinctively.
As if she hadn't realized Jiang Li was speaking to her…
Jiang Li looked at the infatuated girl before him, feeling utterly speechless.
"Alright, stop looking. Come and help me get dressed!" Jiang Li suddenly commanded.
Li Qin finally snapped back to reality. It was Jiang Li who had asked her, and what suggestive words had she just uttered…
Li Qin's cheeks flushed red, a look of shy embarrassment on her face.
But seeing that Jiang Li paid no mind, she let go of her thoughts.
She then obediently walked over to Jiang Li and helped him get dressed.
What was going on with this girl's affection for him? Jiang Li blinked.
Li Qin's affection for Jiang Li had now reached 40.
He hadn't flirted with her at all; had this girl managed to conquer herself?
Jiang Li shook his head. With an affection level of 40, she wouldn't do anything detrimental to him, at least.
After enjoying a delicious meal together, the two left the cave, preparing to search for new treasures.
Li Qin ahead of Jiang Li was even more excited. After being cooped up in the cave for days, she could finally go treasure hunting.
"You lead the way this time. We'll go wherever you say!" Jiang Li took a deep breath and said to Li Qin.
After his recent treasure hunting experiences, Jiang Li understood that Li Qin's luck was far superior to his own.
It was better to let Li Qin search than to search himself.
After all, she possessed a destiny of astonishing luck, unlike him.
Furthermore, Li Qin had a chance to obtain a Earth-tier spiritual treasure. It hadn't appeared recently, but it should manifest now.
Upon hearing Jiang Li's words, Li Qin's expression became ecstatic. Leading the way herself was true treasure hunting, she loved it.
In just a short while, Li Qin's affection level had inexplicably increased by a large margin.
It was showing signs of breaking through to 50.
Jiang Li's heart had grown numb…
…
In the following time, Jiang Li followed Li Qin's footsteps, searching for treasures within the secret realm.
Their harvest was considerable.
The spiritual herbs they had consumed were largely replenished.
Li Qin also became happier as they searched, thoroughly enjoying their time in the secret realm.
After several hours, they arrived at a valley filled with ferocious beasts.
"Are you sure there are treasures opposite these fierce beasts?" Jiang Li asked, wielding his spirit sword and continuously attacking the surrounding monsters.
Li Qin snorted and patted her chest. "I'm a treasure hunting expert. I guarantee there's a particularly precious treasure ahead!"
Having found so many spiritual herbs just now had greatly boosted Li Qin's confidence.
It's just treasure hunting, right? Li Qin was now very confident.
Jiang Li's eyes narrowed slightly, not because he didn't believe Li Qin.
It was just that there were too many fierce beasts circling around.
To get across, all these beasts had to be eliminated.
Jiang Li activated his [Spiritual Insight Eyes] and looked in the direction Li Qin indicated.
In the jungle opposite the beasts, there was a deathly silence. The surrounding leaves slowly drifted down, instantly turning to ash.
An extremely terrifying aura seemed to be lingering around.
There was a powerful formation there, its power not inferior to the formation at the entrance of the secret realm… Jiang Li's heart settled. There must be good things to warrant such a powerful formation and so many fierce beasts guarding it.
Since that was the case, he should go and take a look…
