I'm Beloved By All Due To My Investment (Patreon)

Chapter 45: Are You Like Me?

"What kind of favor?" Li Xun inquired.

Qin Xueyi didn't reply immediately.

Instead, she raised her delicate hand, and pieces of spirit stones flew out, landing around the lake. In that instant, the entire space where they stood became distorted.

An invisible barrier rose, blocking any external attempts at prying.

"A formation?" Li Xun's eyes narrowed.

At this moment, his curiosity about his fiancée, Qin Xueyi, grew even stronger.

Qin Xueyi's talents were impressive, even slightly better than Li Xun's previous self. If Li Xun hadn't transmigrated to this world, his previous self would have only been at the early stage of the Qi Refining realm.

In contrast, Qin Xueyi was already at the late stage of the Qi Refining realm.

Achieving such progress in less than twenty years made her quite unique in the entire Fallen Leaf City.

However, what intrigued Li Xun even more was that while Qin Xueyi had achieved such accomplishments, she was also skilled in alchemy. Moreover, she wasn't just an ordinary alchemist, which was rather astonishing.

After all.

What she had just revealed was the recipe for Purple Cloud Pills.

This kind of pill was meant for Spirit Connection realm cultivators; it couldn't be compared to ordinary vitality-enhancing pills.

To possess strong cultivation and alchemical skills was already a significant achievement. At some level, it could be considered the mark of an extraordinary genius. Yet, what was even more unexpected...

Qin Xueyi was actually skilled in setting up formations!

Mastering both formation and alchemy required an extensive amount of time and study. When taken to the extreme, achieving excellence in either path could lead to accomplishments rivaling those of legendary giants.

Even if Qin Xueyi had been cultivating since birth, it was improbable for her to master three distinct paths simultaneously, right?

"I'd like to ask Young Master Li to help me obtain a Saint's Opportunity," Qin Xueyi said solemnly.

In her conversation with Xiao Huan earlier, the topic was inconsequential, and she didn't mind if anyone overheard. However, when it came to a Saint's Opportunity, she had to be cautious.

Even if it meant revealing her proficiency in formation, she was willing to do so.

After all.

Saints were non-existent in Fallen Leaf City, and even the Xuanyang Sect lacked one.

Within an area of several hundred thousand miles, there wasn't a single Saint.

In other words.

If news of a Saint's Opportunity were to leak out, Fallen Leaf City would face an unprecedented calamity. This was something she couldn't take lightly.

"Oh?"

Li Xun uttered a light "oh" and deeply looked at Qin Xueyi, seemingly lost in thought. He asked, "Why me?"

Because... of the Purple Cloud Pill he just gifted me?

Because... I didn't manage to help you in my previous life, so I feel guilty?

These thoughts flickered through Qin Xueyi's mind, but she didn't voice them. Slowly and resolutely, she said, "Because I believe in Young Master Li."

Originally, she had planned to wait until she had achieved a stronger cultivation base before taking action. However, Li Xun's appearance had made her realize that the future was already changing.

If she didn't act, she couldn't guarantee the persistence of the opportunity.

Currently.

The relationship between the Qin Family and the Chen Family was tense. Qin Tianhai couldn't accompany her to obtain the Saint's Opportunity, and she couldn't trust certain people within the clan who offered their assistance.

After much consideration, Li Xun was the one who made her feel most at ease.

Coupled with the two reasons from earlier, she had decided to make this request.

"Alright."

Li Xun agreed without hesitation. "When do we leave?"

"Tomorrow morning."

"I'll come to pick you up then."

Li Xun left behind these words and departed straightaway.

"Young Master Li, aren't you worried about the dangers within the Saint's Opportunity?" Qin Xueyi asked again.

"I also believe in you," Li Xun's voice drifted through the void.

Remaining in place, Qin Xueyi stood alone, gazing at the direction Li Xun had gone. Her expression was complex, and her thoughts were inscrutable.

After a long while.

She turned around, picked up the Purple Cloud Pill from the table, and observed it for some time. With a soft sigh, she murmured, "Did I misunderstand him in my previous life? Li Xun, it seems you are not what I thought you were. Your potential today is no less than that of some of the most outstanding geniuses."

"I hope that the technique within the Saint's Opportunity can help you reach even greater heights."

The "Saint's Opportunity" she mentioned earlier contained something she had already obtained in her previous life. Naturally, she had memorized the technique mentioned within it.

However, she couldn't directly give it to Li Xun.

Because.

Her revelation of alchemy and formation skills had already piqued Li Xun's curiosity. If she were to directly present a Saint's technique before she even entered the Saint's Opportunity, it would undoubtedly raise suspicions.

It wasn't just Li Xun; even a fool could discern that something was amiss!

Meanwhile.

Li Xun returned to his room.

A voice from the system resounded in his mind.

【Ding, congratulations, Host, your investment was successful. Would you like to claim your reward?】

"Claim it," Li Xun responded without hesitation.

"Boom!"

In the next moment, divine radiance surged within him, and his blood roared like mercury, producing a tumultuous sound. A qi like that of a king emerged, spreading out from him.

Innate divine power was a form of natural talent.

If one didn't possess it at birth, it would be impossible to attain it in their lifetime.

And now.

Li Xun suddenly gained innate divine power. Around him, rules intertwined, repairing his initial deficiencies from the source of his life.

At this moment.

Every cell in his body cheered, undergoing rapid transformation. Endless vitality surged forth, releasing strands of immortal aura.

Time passed without measure.

Within Li Xun's room, a brilliant radiance erupted, unparalleled and dazzling, illuminating the night sky. It was as if a small sun had fallen from the sky and landed in the courtyard.

The ocean-like qi enveloped nearly half of the Qin Family.

Countless people were awakened in the dead of night.

They gazed in the direction where Li Xun was located.

"What is that...?"

Qin Tianhai woke up during his cultivation. He blinked unceasingly as he fixed his gaze on the direction of Li Xun's courtyard. Deep within his eyes, there was an intense sense of shock.

"The location of Junior Li Xun!"

"He's still just a body-refining cultivator, right? Why didn't I notice any signs during the day?"

Qin Tianhai pursed his lips, feeling somewhat puzzled.

The traits of a body-refining cultivator were usually quite distinct, and the most typical feature was a sturdy build. However, when it came to Li Xun, he hadn't seen this phenomenon at all.

"Could it be that aside from possessing a Earth-level body refinement technique, Nephew Li also has a body refinement technique beyond the Earth level?"

Inside Qin Xueyi's chamber.

She and Xiao Huan had just returned and were about to freshen up before going to sleep.

Suddenly.

Xiao Huan hurriedly ran back, out of breath, and said, "Young Miss, come and see! The place where Young Master resides is glowing!"

"Oh?"

Qin Xueyi raised an eyebrow, walked to the window, and glanced toward Li Xun's dwelling. Her expression stiffened momentarily, but she quickly recovered.

She could tell that it was an extreme display of powerful vitality.

Throughout the day, Li Xun had surprised her with unexpected revelations. Given the spectacle of his vital energy surging like mercury, it wasn't something that profoundly amazed her.

"Young Master Li, could you be like me, a reincarnated individual? Otherwise, how could you hide so many secrets within yourself?" Qin Xueyi murmured.

At this moment, she had started to suspect that Li Xun might be similar to her.

After all.

This Li Xun of the current life was entirely different from the one in her past life. There were almost no similarities between the two.
