8: A World in a Small Space

"No way, not a single emotion value has reached above sixty."

"What's the point of the bond rebate then?"

Soon.

Li Changsheng arrived at the small wooden hut where Ji Lingyue lived.

The fragrant scent of Medicinal Pills wafted towards him.

"Not bad, your Alchemy level is indeed good; a Yellow-Grade peak grade Medicinal Pill, the Essence-Increasing Pill." Li Changsheng strode inside.

Ji Lingyue was also very excited at this moment.

Not only had she refined the Essence-Increasing Pill.

But her own Alchemy level had also improved significantly.

"Hand over the Essence-Increasing Pills," Li Changsheng said.

Thirty-six pills had been formed; Ji Lingyue immediately took out eighteen Medicinal Pills and handed them to Li Changsheng.

Furthermore.

It was only then that she noticed.

Her Sleep God Senior Brother had actually made a Breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

"Could it be that the intelligence was wrong?"

"He's only been in the sect for a year, how could he have stepped into the Foundation Establishment Realm? Then again, just because you've been in the sect for a year doesn't mean you've only been Cultivating for a year. After all, he is an Innate Sacred Body, the Great Desolate Sacred Body, an Aptitude even more powerful than my own Nine Phoenix Divine Body."

Who would have thought.

Li Changsheng didn't take the eighteen Medicinal Pills.

Instead, he pointed at the remaining pills in Ji Lingyue's hand and said, "I want all of your Medicinal Pills."

The originally happy Ji Lingyue's expression suddenly froze.

She frowned and said, "Senior Brother, if you need Essence-Increasing Pills, you can just prepare the ingredients, and I'll refine a batch for you."

"No need, I want all of your Medicinal Pills."

Li Changsheng shook his head. "You can just go refine another batch."

This time, Ji Lingyue was truly infuriated.

Did he think refining Medicinal Pills was easy?

The key was that she didn't have any extra Spirit Medicine left to refine another batch of Essence-Increasing Pills.

Wasn't it just a bit of guidance on the Pill Formula?

Yet he wanted to snatch away all the Medicinal Pills she had worked so hard to refine.

Li Changsheng didn't give Ji Lingyue any chance to refuse.

He snatched all the Medicinal Pills in one go.

He said with satisfaction, "How about this, I'll give you a task: refine a batch of Essence-Increasing Pills for me every month. Good, it's settled then."

"Li Changsheng!" Ji Lingyue was about to explode.

She was the dignified Legitimate Daughter of an Emperor Clan.

An existence like a princess.

To be bullied by a mere Eldest Disciple of the Primordial Immortal Sect's Main Peak.

Who would believe it if word got out?

Her towering rage surged instantly.

Anger Value: 80 points.

Hmm, not bad.

Li Changsheng looked at the skyrocketing emotion values on the System panel and was very satisfied.

"Ji Lingyue, when you joined the sect, I heard your background was extraordinary, and you didn't even care for my Misty Peak's Heaven-Grade Low Grade Misty Art. Your Legacy must be powerful. How about this, give me a copy of your Legacy."

"Don't worry, your Senior Brother won't take it for nothing. If you encounter danger in the future, I'll cover for you."

"You'll cover for me?"

Ji Lingyue felt as if she had heard the most ridiculous joke in the world.

Never mind that you're the Senior Brother.

But in terms of cultivation, I entered Foundation Establishment before you.

In terms of background, my Ji Family is an Emperor Clan, second to none in the entire Tianyuan Realm.

In terms of resources, it goes without saying.

I ask you, with what will you cover for me?

Li Changsheng said confidently, "Naturally."

"Alright, hurry up and bring your Legacy for me to see."

The anger in Ji Lingyue's heart grew even stronger.

This was clearly just robbery, okay?

[Ji Lingyue is currently on the verge of exploding; once she does, she might attack the Host. Please be prepared to suppress her at any time.]

Under the Primordial Heaven Eye.

Ji Lingyue's condition was completely exposed to Li Changsheng.

Anger Value: 95.

However, despite her anger, Ji Lingyue took out a Jade Slip and threw it to Li Changsheng, saying, "Senior Brother, without the permission of the Clan Elders, I wouldn't dare give you the Ji Family Legacy. The Ji Family rules state that the Legacy cannot be passed to outsiders. If an outsider is found practicing my Ji Family's Cultivation Technique, they will be hunted down and killed regardless of where they hide. Even if I gave it to you, you wouldn't dare Cultivate it, would you?"

"I happen to have a Divine Ability Spell here that isn't from the Ji Family; perhaps it will be of help to you, Senior Brother."

Li Changsheng took the Jade Slip.

He hadn't held much hope.

But the moment he checked the Jade Slip.

He was greatly surprised.

It was actually a spatial Divine Ability, the Heaven-Grade Low Grade 'So Close Yet So Far'.

['So Close Yet So Far' has 652 flaws.]

"This Cultivation Technique is not bad," Li Changsheng said with satisfaction.

Li Changsheng didn't rush to Cultivate; instead, he attempted to repair these flaws.

Ji Lingyue said, "Since we are both under the Misty Peak, your Junior Sister advises you: sleep less and Cultivate more. If you keep sleeping like this, you'll surely become a useless person."

Li Changsheng shook his head. "You don't understand. Sleeping is Cultivating."

Sophistry.

Ji Lingyue felt deeply disappointed.

This kind of person.

Advising them is useless.

Let him be.

Anyway, she had given the warnings she should.

What he did was his business.

Besides, he had snatched away the Essence-Increasing Pills she had worked so hard to refine; she was currently Life Qi.

"If you're going to snatch them, at least leave me some; you took them all."

"If it weren't for the fact that I haven't met the Master yet, I would definitely have to teach you a lesson."

"Calling yourself a Senior Brother, you need to be put in your place."

Just as Ji Lingyue was mentally dealing with Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng opened his eyes.

He sighed incessantly.

His cultivation was still too low and his experience insufficient; out of over six hundred flaws, he had only managed to repair five. Even so, the power had increased by a small step.

In an instant, it became even smoother.

Li Changsheng threw the modified 'So Close Yet So Far' back to Ji Lingyue and said, "This Divine Ability Spell is indeed good, but it still has many flaws. I've made some improvements; you can take a look."

"Improve a Cultivation Technique?"

Ji Lingyue wondered if she had misheard.

Improving the Essence-Increasing Pill's Pill Formula was one thing, since it was only a Yellow-Grade formula, but this 'So Close Yet So Far' was a Heaven-Grade Low Grade Divine Ability Spell.

She opened the Cultivation Technique.

She was instantly shocked.

"You... you really made improvements to 'So Close Yet So Far'?"

'So Close Yet So Far' was a spatial-type Divine Ability Spell.

The Ji Family had similar Divine Ability Spells.

Although Ji Lingyue hadn't Cultivated it, she had done some research.

She saw the differences in this Cultivation Technique at a glance.

The anger in her heart was instantly extinguished.

Her Disappointment Value decreased.

Her Shock Value skyrocketed.

[Ji Lingyue is shocked by your actions.]

[Ding! Host has taught the bond target Ji Lingyue the Heaven-Grade Low Grade Divine Ability Spell, 'So Close Yet So Far'. Detecting an Anger Value of 95 towards you, triggering a 95-fold bond rebate. Obtained the Heaven-Grade peak grade spatial Divine Ability Spell, Square Inch World.]

"Hehe, not bad."

This way, I have my third Heaven-Grade Cultivation Technique.

For Cultivating, I have the Misty Heaven Scripture.

For facing enemies, I have the Misty Sword Art.

For survival, I also have the Square Inch World.

Of course, if you only treat the Square Inch World as a survival Divine Ability, you're underestimating it.

Heaven-Grade peak grade.

Within ten thousand miles, one can traverse at will, traveling through the Void Realm to kill enemies invisibly in an instant.

Whether for killing enemies or escaping, it is a top-tier Divine Ability.

With this Divine Ability alone, his combat power has increased by at least ten times.
