Chapter 52 - A New Destination
Chapter 52 - A New Destination
Qin Yi was baffled as to why Lu Yun suddenly decided to attack him.
If he wanted to attack him, that guy has plenty of opportunities to do that. ??
But why now?
At this hour?
He felt that something was not right about this.
He had a feeling that Lu Yun's purpose of coming here tonight wasn't as simple as trying to launch a sneak attack on him.
After thinking for a long time, he suddenly remembered Xue Chan's message to Qin Yi a few hours ago.
She said that Lu Yun wanted to pass a message to Qin Yi 'Don't mess up with this place tonight.'
If you interpret those words more carefully, they are actually not a concern but a warning.
He probably said something like that to catch Qin Yi off guard or some other unknown reason.
However, Qin Yi had to say that Lu Yun was a bit of an idiot.
'I mean, what's the point of attacking me this time. If he wants to attack me, he can do it elsewhere. Is he not afraid that he will destroy the precio-'
As Qin Yi was thinking like that, he suddenly realized something.
"That's right, plants... why didn't I think about that?"
Qin Yi's back broke out in cold sweat as he hastily inspected the Hundred Flowers Garden.
A few minutes later, a loud voice came from the garden.
"Fuck, the bushes are ruined..."
Qin Yi immediately recovered it using the Raising Wood Technique.
But after a few minutes of inspecting the garden, he found that one of the Rank 2 heaven and earth materials was damaged.
"That bastard, how dare he-"
Qin Yi cursed louder as he was feeling frustrated.
Unlike ordinary bushes that he could recover with the Raising Wood Technique, it was extremely difficult to recover a once Rank 2 heaven and earth material that was damaged.
That Rank 2 heaven and earth material that the bastard damaged is called Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom.
This heaven and earth material is the main ingredient in making a pill called the Essence Pill. It was a pill to assist a cultivator's Foundation Establishment in cultivating.
Therefore, this heaven and earth material was very precious in Qin Yi's eyes, but Lu Yun unexpectedly dared to damage it.
Although,
Was that bastard not afraid that Lan Qianhua and Elder Hua would get angry?
Although he expected Lu Yun to do a nasty thing to him, he only thought that he would just attack him ignoring their relationship as temporary co-workers and didn't expect him to be so extreme and self-sacrificing that he damaged Elder Hua's property.
After all, even though Qin Yi would be the primary suspect, Lu Yun and Xue Chan would also be affected.
"That guy desperately wants to harm me to the point he is willing to sacrifice himself in the process. He's nuts!"
Qin Yi shook his head as he stopped thinking about that bastard.
He had to think of something to restore the Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom.
He could replace it with his Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom, but he really didn't want to do that because it wasn't an ordinary heaven and earth material.
As an Alchemist, he would definitely need it to concoct Essence Pill in the future.
Besides, he also needed it to plant it in the Mystical Garden so it could grow and multiply there. After all, a single heaven and earth material can be a whole stock in the future.
So, giving it away is out of the question if he has other means.
Qin Yi took out a bottle of water from the storage bag. He opened it and infused 1000 [Heal] into it.
Hopefully, this trick will work...
Then, he gently splashed it onto the Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom.
One drop...
Two drops...
Three drops...
After the drops reached twenty drops, a change was seen in the Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom.
"Oh, it works!"
Qin Yi was overjoyed.
His trick of using the PowerBox's [Heal] power turned out to be successful.
The tear in the Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom inflicted by Lu Yun disappeared and gradually returned to being all.
With this, the weight that was on Qin Yi's shoulders finally fell down.
"Haah, what a long night~."
He does not relax as he is continually looking for any other heaven and earth materials that are damaged.
He didn't want Lan Qianhua to find fault tomorrow, so he did so more observantly.
An hour later, Qin Yi found no faults other than the Nine Colors Spirit Mushroom and the bushes. So, he returned to the garden hut and rested for a while.
He took off the armor he was wearing and inspected it.
This armor was a Normal Artifact called Copper Skin Armor; it was worth 800 merit points in the Treasure Pavilion.
This armor is thin and elastic, and it can adjust its size according to the user's body size. Moreover, it has a strong defense.
He didn't receive the slightest bit of damage from Lu Yun's sneak attack thanks to it.
Thinking about that, Qin Yi immediately inspected the condition of this armor.
Fortunately, the attack that Lu Yun gave only left a scratch on it. He could still use it much longer.
Thus, he put it again on his body.
Lu Yun's arrival was like an advertisement in Qin Yi's night.
Since it was over and things were safe again thus, he decided to experiment with his Mystic Talent again.
This time, Qin Yi locked his destination into Dragon Cave.
Then, he jumped into the void.
After a few seconds, he came out of the void and arrived at his Dragon Cave.
Although he still felt nauseous, it was not as unbearable as before.
Moreover, he noticed that the Qi consumed this time was 10%.
"It's still minimal. Let's try it further. For example..."
Qin Yi suddenly had a presumptuous idea.
He didn't know if this was a good or bad idea, but it was worth a try.
However, before doing that, he wanted to restore his Qi to 100% first.
Therefore, he took out five bottles, each containing two Rank 1 pills called Qi Restoration Pills that he had recently obtained from certain disciples.
The Qi Restoration Pill was different from the Energy Restoration Pill. If the Energy Restoration Pill was able to restore stamina, then the Qi Restoration Pill could restore Qi.
"System, extract them!"
[Extraction completed!]
[Obtained 600 Qi]
[Obtained 400 Impurity]
[Note: The Rank 1 Qi Restoration Pill contains an abundant Qi, but this Qi can only be used to replace lost Qi and cannot be used for cultivation. This pill still contains a lot of impurities; does the host want to keep it?]
"Keep it!"
————
Energy Box: Spiritual Energy (70,000), Impurity (199,000), Neutralizer (50,000), Light (450), Heat (200), Soothing (150), Heal (69,000), Berserk (100), Breath (100), Vision (100), Stamina (50,000), Qi (600)
————
After seeing the changes in the PowerBox, Qin Yi immediately took out another bottle of water and infused it with 300 [Qi].
Then he drank it without hesitation.
Not long after, his lost Qi recovered rapidly.
Qin Yi lost more than 20% of his Qi tonight.
Maybe for an ordinary Second Stage of Qi Condensation Realm cultivator, 300 [Qi] is too much, but it was only enough for him to recover a little bit of his lost Qi.
With his Qi at 100% again, he was ready to set his journey to another place using Void Jump.
His destination this time was a place he had visited a month ago. He wanted to go back to that place, but he seemed to no longer able to enter it.
Qin Yi took out the Hidden Night Cape from the system storage and put it on.
With this, his journey will be safer.
When all was said and done, he immediately concentrated and tested his destination, and then he jumped into the void.
***
Somewhere in Ancient Dragon City.
A large, chubby-cheeked man was sitting in a chair, his eyes closed and a giant transparent balloon inflated from his nose.
He is sleeping very soundly in front of a room door, even though he was supposed to guard this room.
Therefore, unbeknownst to him, someone actually entered inside that room.
