After stroking the bottle a few times, the Spiritual Energy contained within seeped into his body through Li Qianfan’s fingers. Once the Spiritual Energy entered his Dantian, Li Qianfan clearly felt the Spiritual Energy in his Dantian become denser.
Although the increase in density was not significant, he could indeed feel the subtle changes.
“???”
Suddenly, several big question marks appeared on Li Qianfan’s face. What was going on here?
Why was the Spiritual Energy in the bottle being absorbed by his Dantian?
While Li Qianfan pondered, a sudden burst of information entered his mind. After a sharp pain, details about the bottle unfolded in his mind one by one.
This bottle was named the Heavenly Spirit Vase, an artifact that helped its owner level up. It automatically absorbed Spiritual Energy and stored it inside, and it could also purify the Spiritual Energy. Whenever the owner needed Spiritual Energy, they could absorb it from inside the vase.
Wow, wasn’t that effect a bit overpowered?
Li Qianfan’s face revealed a shocked expression. If he owned a Heavenly Spirit Vase, wouldn’t that mean he was cultivating all the time? The Heavenly Spirit Vase would absorb the Spiritual Energy of heaven and earth while he slept and played.
When the Spiritual Energy inside the vase reached a full state, he could then absorb it.
And then he could continue to store more Spiritual Energy!
The most important thing was that the Heavenly Spirit Vase had the function of purifying Spiritual Energy, ensuring the purity of the Spiritual Energy he absorbed.
The Earth today was severely polluted, and the already scarce Spiritual Energy was contaminated too. This was why many Martial Artists were unable to break through and become cultivators successfully. Even those who became cultivators against all odds couldn’t exhibit the fighting power corresponding to their realm because of the severe pollution of Spiritual Energy.
But now, with the Heavenly Spirit Vase, he could absorb the purest Spiritual Energy at all times.
Treasure!
This was a treasure that one couldn’t buy no matter how much money they offered.
However, the current Heavenly Spirit Vase in front of him was in a damaged state. From its appearance, it was only one-fifth of the whole vase, but this one-fifth already had the function of storing Spiritual Energy. If he could gather the entire Heavenly Spirit Vase, imagine how much Spiritual Energy could be stored.
At that moment, Li Qianfan secretly made up his mind to acquire the Heavenly Spirit Vase no matter what.
“Li Qianfan, what are you doing?”
As A-Hua walked out of the bedroom, she immediately saw Li Qianfan standing in front of the glass cabinet, fondling the broken porcelain vase. She asked curiously.
Li Qianfan turned to look at A-Hua and said, “Sister Hua, I’m quite interested in antiques, and I just felt the aura of the antiques, so I came to experience your collection.”
“You can feel the aura of antiques?” Stay updated through empire
A-Hua came to Li Qianfan’s side, her eyebrows expressing a touch of surprise.
Li Qianfan nodded slightly and said, “Yes, because of my blindness, my hearing, smell, and touch are beyond ordinary people, and I’ve been in contact with antiques since I was young, so I have an inexplicable feeling towards them.”
To conceal the fact that he was blind, Li Qianfan had no choice but to tell another lie.
“I see.”
A-Hua did not understand the world of the blind, so she didn’t think too much about it, and simply said, “These antiques were left by my master, but this broken vase that you’re touching, I bought it by chance on Antique Street for thirty yuan.”
Wow, to buy such a freakishly powerful treasure for only thirty yuan?
How was that any different from a pie falling from the sky?
“Sister Hua, I really like this broken vase, could you sell it to me?”
After a moment’s thought, Li Qianfan said earnestly.
“What’s so good about this broken thing? I bought it just because it looked nice. If you like it, I’ll give it to you.”
A-Hua was unaware of the real value of the Heavenly Spirit Vase and was very casual in her attitude.
Hearing this, Li Qianfan was inwardly delighted and immediately said, “Sister Hua, are you really going to give this vase to me? Thank you so much.”
Seeing Li Qianfan’s excitement, A-Hua’s eyes flickered. With a serious face, she said, “You’re so excited over a broken vase. I’m afraid this vase is no ordinary object. Tell me, what exactly is this vase? Otherwise, I won’t give it to you.”
Oh no, I shouldn’t have made my intentions so obvious.
Li Qianfan cursed himself for being a fool, but he didn’t panic. He explained, “When I touched it, it was cool to the hand. I’m sure the vase was of great value before it was damaged. Even though it’s broken now, it still has collectible value. I was thinking of taking it back for my collection.”
“Damaged antiques are of no value for collections. If you like it, then take it.”
In reality, A-Hua had no interest in antiques. Most of them were left to her by her master, while others she bought to decorate her room, after all, the glass cabinets were too big, and having too much empty space really affected the aesthetics.
“Thank you, Sister Hua. I’ll pick up the tab for today’s services instead of deducting it from the membership card, it’s my treat.”
Li Qianfan, fearing A-Hua might change her mind, immediately took the vase out of the cabinet.
“Alright, then I’ve made a profit. I bought that vase for thirty, and one of your services must cost at least three hundred or more.”
Even though she said that, A-Hua’s demeanor was extremely calm, a few hundred bucks were but a drop in the bucket for someone like her.
“It’s not about profit, it’s all about being willing at heart.”
Li Qianfan didn’t dwell too much on the topic of the ‘Heavenly Spirit Vase’. Changing the subject, he said, “Sister Hua, didn’t you say you wanted to let me experience your hypnotism? I’m ready now, shall we start?”
“Okay, you just sit on the sofa, and I’ll hypnotize you.”
When it came to hypnotism, A-Hua was suddenly interested. Through hypnotism, she wanted to enter Li Qianfan’s heart to find out what he truly wanted and then accordingly prescribe the right solution. This way, there was a high chance of turning him into a manservant completely obedient to her.
“Okie-dokie!”
Obviously, Li Qianfan had no clue what A-Hua had in mind, and sat on the sofa full of anticipation.
“Close your eyes, relax your body, clear your mind, and don’t think about anything… Now imagine yourself standing before an endless ocean. The sea breeze gently caresses your face, the setting sun leaves mottled light and shadows on the sea surface, and, with the rolling waves, the shadows keep flickering…”
“Beside you stands a girl in a white dress, with long black hair flowing in the sea breeze, waving in the air. The waves lap against her snow-white ankles, and the two of you look into each other’s eyes filled with love.”
“The two of you walk hand in hand along the beach, your laughter blending with the sound of waves and drifting into the distance, dreaming of a beautiful future together…”
As she spoke, A-Hua lit the aromatherapy candle on the coffee table. When the faint scent began to fill the air, Li Qianfan, who was originally tense, gradually slumped onto the sofa, and the scene A-Hua had described slowly took shape in his mind.
For a moment, Li Qianfan was lost in the beautiful world constructed by A-Hua, his breathing gradually stabilized, and he completely fell asleep.
Boom!!
Just then, a brilliant light burst forth from Li Qianfan’s Dantian, and a stream of True Qi quickly spread throughout his body. The sudden revitalization brought Li Qianfan back to full alertness. Reflecting on the brief moment he’d lost consciousness, he felt a surge of fear.
This woman’s hypnotism is so powerful?
If it weren’t for the True Qi released from his Dantian in time, he surely would have been completely hypnotized by A-Hua by now.
However, Li Qianfan realized that although his mind was clear, his body still remained under the state of hypnosis. He didn’t rush to use his True Qi to awaken his body, as he wanted to see what A-Hua would do next to dig into his innermost thoughts.
“Qianfan—do you love the woman beside you?”
Soon, A-Hua’s charming voice arose, sounding like heavenly music to Li Qianfan’s ears.
Even though Li Qianfan was awake, the seductive voice still made his heartbeat quicken. Had his mind and body both been asleep, wouldn’t he have answered any question posed to him?
After pondering for a moment, Li Qianfan replied, “Love!”
“What’s the name of this woman you love the most?”
A-Hua’s fingers gently brushed his sturdy chest, the tingling sensation combined with the faint aroma of the aromatherapy made Li Qianfan sink even deeper into the state. If it weren’t for the Spiritual Energy being continuously released by his Dantian to counteract the bewitching scent of the aromatherapy, he probably would have fallen asleep again.
“The woman I love most is called… A-Hua!”
Hearing the question, Li Qianfan barely hesitated before immediately saying A-Hua’s name.
