Bai Qi woke up early and looked at his system panel. Although his face was expressionless, he was overjoyed inside.

Suddenly, Bai Qi remembered that he hadn't claimed his system check-in rewards yet, so he said to the system in his mind:

"System, claim the automatic check-in rewards."

[Ding, check-in and rewards are as follows.]

[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Heart Separation Control Crash Course, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Bracelet (accelerates recovery of Mental Energy).]

[Ning Fengzhi, Treasure Appraisal Ability.]

[Chen Xin, Immortal-grade Sword Intent.]

[Gu Rong, Enhanced Spatial Perception Ability.]

Seeing this, Bai Qi, thinking it was over, raised his eyebrows in confusion, realizing there was one more.

[Meng Yiran, Earth Dragon Gold Melon (Immortal-grade Herb).]

Bai Qi shrugged and casually put it into his storage ring, thinking that if there was an opportunity in the future, he could let Meng Yiran absorb it, which would also enhance her Spirit.

Afterward, Bai Qi extracted the rewards, closed the system, sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, and began to absorb the rewards given by the system.

First was the Heart Separation Control crash course. Bai Qi had been practicing this ability since he first signed it in from Ning Rongrong, because Bai Qi knew that compared to his physical strength, his Mental Energy was simply his weakness.

However, from obtaining it until now, Heart Separation Control had only gone from knowing nothing to the Three Aperature Governing Heart. Although it had only been a few short days, this progress was already very fast.

But knowing his miserable state when absorbing the Spirit Bone, he knew it was far from enough. Although the system's current reward was a bit late, it was enough.

Now that Bai Qi used the crash course, it gave him a deeper understanding of how to use Heart Separation Control. It could be said that it cleared the way for Bai Qi's future cultivation of Heart Separation Control. He also took this opportunity to upgrade Heart Separation Control to the Four Aperature Constant Heart, making his control over Mental Energy more detailed and stable.

Then there was the sword intent signed in from Sword Douluo Chen Xin. Although he didn't use a sword now, he would get one sooner or later. Besides, who said that when using the Torch Dragon Armor, he couldn't use Soul Power to create a sword?

He then integrated this sword intent into his body. The moment it merged, Bai Qi's brow, which hadn't been furrowed, seemed to relax even more.

A warm aura started from Bai Qi's Dantian, spreading through all his meridians until it converged at the center of his forehead. The Dragon God Seal flashed and disappeared at this moment. In Bai Qi's sea of consciousness, a golden sword hung. This sword didn't bring Bai Qi any moves, only pure sword intent, which made Bai Qi realize that he should be able to release sword qi without using a sword.

Finally, there was Gu Rong's enhanced spatial perception ability.

For Bai Qi, this reward was the simplest and also what he needed the most right now; it was like a drop of water dripping into a larger sea.

Now, even if Bai Qi was closing his eyes, without using Soul Power, without using hearing or smell, he could know everything about the layout and what was present. This was spatial perception. If he used Soul Power, this ability would be further enhanced.

After everything was finished, Bai Qi looked at the dispensable Treasure Appraisal Ability. After all, he already had Ning Rongrong, so who needed this?

However, Bai Qi still integrated the Treasure Appraisal Ability. After merging, Bai Qi felt his eyes heat up, and then that was it. Unlike Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi, who used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to appraise treasures, Bai Qi could just use his eyes.

After the fusion, Bai Qi was still very happy. After all, in just one morning, his combat power had improved by another notch, which was quite good.

At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and a voice came from outside.

"Xiao Qi, it's time for lunch."

After hearing that it was Xiao Wu's voice, Bai Qi smiled and replied:

"Coming."

After that, he picked up his coat, put it on, left the room, and went to eat, chatting and laughing with Xiao Wu.

After staying in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for a few more days, Bai Qi bid farewell to Ning Fengzhi and told him that he wanted to go to the Sunset Forest for training.

Ning Fengzhi agreed to Bai Qi's plan. After all, through these few days of getting along, he had already regarded Bai Qi as his son-in-law, and as for this son-in-law, of course, the stronger, the better.

On the night before his departure, on the bench outside Bai Qi's room, Xiao Wu sat beside Bai Qi, while Ning Rongrong, Zhuqing, Ah Yin, and Meng Yiran stood not far behind them.

"Leaving again?"

Xiao Wu said with her head down, feeling unhappy.

Bai Qi looked at Xiao Wu, who was pouting with her head down, reached out and rubbed her head. As a result, Xiao Wu slapped his hand away. After being stunned for a moment, he withdrew his hand and replied with a chuckle:

"Yeah, leaving again, and it's not like I'm not coming back. I'll be back in ten days or half a month."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu raised her head, looking at Bai Qi with slightly red eyes, and said:

"You said that last time, and it ended up taking two years."

Bai Qi was choked by what Xiao Wu said and said sheepishly:

"This time is different. This time it's just in the Sunset Forest near Heaven Dou City. It'll be quick."

"Hmph."

Xiao Wu turned her head to the other side and muttered softly:

"You don't even know how much I missed you back then."

After hearing this, Bai Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"I know, that's why I want to go and return early."

Hearing this, Xiao Wu turned back and extended her little finger to Bai Qi, saying:

"Then pinky swear."

Bai Qi also reached out his hand, held Xiao Wu's hand, and said:

"Pinky swear."

After the two finished the pinky swear, Xiao Wu withdrew her hand and said to Bai Qi with feigned generosity: "Alright, go talk to the others."

Seeing that the two of them had finished, Ning Rongrong and Zhuqing also walked over one after another. Meng Yiran leaned against a pillar not far from the crowd, and Ah Yin smiled and went back to prepare things for Bai Qi.

Ning Rongrong took out a small token and handed it to Bai Qi, speaking first:

"Brother Xiao Bai, I don't have anything else to say. Take this. This is the Young Master token of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. I begged my father to make an extra one urgently. Using this on the way to the Sunset Forest will definitely solve problems."

Bai Qi cupped his hands and said to Ning Rongrong:

"Then many thanks, Rongrong."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong waved her hand, her face slightly red, and said:

"What thanks? According to my father, regardless of whether you join or not, you are already a member of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Hearing this, Bai Qi smiled.

Zhuqing also followed up in a timely manner:

"Be careful."

Although it was only two short words, it was enough to express Zhuqing's thoughts.

Hearing this, Bai Qi hugged Zhuqing and said:

"I will."

After letting go of Zhuqing, Bai Qi noticed that Zhuqing's ears were already red. Just as Bai Qi wanted to smile and tease her again, he was attracted by another voice.

"Go, go, don't dawdle here. Anyway, you'll be back in a few days. Why make it so sentimental?"

Meng Yiran on the side cleared the siege for Zhuqing.

Hearing this, Bai Qi smiled and took out the insights on Hidden Weapons techniques that he had compiled over the past few days from his storage spirit tool and walked towards Meng Yiran, saying:

"You have to practice these Hidden Weapons diligently. I'm going to check them when I get back."

After Meng Yiran took it and read a few pages, her eyes lit up and she said:

"Count you as having a little conscience. Alright, hurry up and go."

At this time, Ah Yin, who had packed things for Bai Qi, also walked over, handed the things to Bai Qi, and said worriedly:

"Be careful on the road. Do you really not need me to go with you?"

Hearing this, Bai Qi took the package and put it into his storage ring. He shook his head and said:

"No need, it's easier for me to act alone. Having too many people will attract attention instead."

Hearing Bai Qi say this, Ah Yin nodded.

After Bai Qi walked out of the gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Xiao Wu and the others stood at the gate, waving goodbye to Bai Qi.

And not far behind the girls, Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong also quietly watched Bai Qi, who was gradually walking away.
