Boarding Life

Chapter 830 830

As he expected, Bai Qingrou's tone of voice changed.

From the previous decisive and forthright manner, it turned as gentle as a lamb, as if her goodwill had increased out of nowhere.

She no longer harped on about Qin Qi's cultivation technique.

Instead, she changed the tone of the conversation, "I see, given the high difficulty of cultivating this technique, there's indeed no reason to spread it widely."

Seeing Bai Qingrou's change in attitude, Qin Qi knew that his Yang Qi still had considerable attraction for her.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but entertain some hopes of conquering Bai Qingrou.

All things considered.

No matter how high her cultivation is, in the end, she's still a woman at heart.

As long as she is a woman, she has seven emotions and six desires. With his abilities, he has a chance to conquer her.

This also made him curious about what leverage and weaknesses the mysterious woman had over her.

If he could exploit these weaknesses, his chances of dealing with her would be much greater.

At this moment, Yuan Tianqing, seeing that the atmosphere between Qin Qi and Bai Qingrou had eased, stood up and said, "Little friend Qin Qi, the reason we tested your abilities this time is that we hope you can assist us with something!"

Qin Qi said puzzled, "City Lord Yuan, there's no need to be so polite. You saved my life. Feel free to ask anything. However, my cultivation is low, so I'm not sure what help I can offer to someone like you."

Yuan Tianqing smiled, "In fact, this help is something only you can provide."

Qin Qi was bewildered, not understanding what Yuan Tianqing meant.

Yuan Tianqing and Bai Qingrou exchanged a glance.

Bai Qingrou nodded towards him.

Yuan Tianqing gravely said, "We hope little friend Qin Qi can contribute in the upcoming Evil Demon attacks!"

"Contribute?" Qin Qi smiled, "City Lord Yuan, surely you jest. Everyone has a responsibility in the fight against Evil Demons. If the demons attack and you need my help, I won't refuse!"

But Yuan Tianqing shook his head, "It's not that simple. We hope that little friend Qin Qi not only intervenes but also hunts as many Evil Demons as possible!"

"And the more, the better!"

Qin Qi was taken aback, "What does City Lord Yuan mean?"

Yuan Tianqing no longer hid his intentions, "That's right, little friend Qin Qi, being new to the Secret Realm, you are unfamiliar with its affairs."

"Our area is the Northwest District of the Secret Realm. The Secret Realm is far larger than little friend Qin Qi can imagine."

"But no matter how large the Secret Realm is, this place is the only stronghold against the Evil Demons. So, numerous factions from across the Secret Realm continent have gathered as a defense line!"

Qin Qi listened intently but still only half-understood.

Yuan Tianqing continued with the main topic, "The Secret Realm continent is exceptionally resource-rich, and in the past, factions competed for resources based on their merits. But now, due to the Evil Demons, all factions are united against an external enemy."

"Therefore, the way resources are allocated naturally falls to whoever contributes more to defeating the Evil Demons."

"Both I and Senior Sister Bai hail from the Tianlan Sect. If we want to gain more benefits for our sect, consistently excelling in killing Evil Demons is crucial!"

With this explanation, Qin Qi roughly understood, "So, City Lord Yuan and Senior Bai wish for me to represent Tianlan Sect in killing more Evil Demons?"

Yuan Tianqing smiled, "Exactly!"

Qin Qi finally understood.

No wonder Bai Qingrou kept targeting him and wanted his cultivation technique.

Turns out, she has her own selfish motives.

But constrained by his highly challenging cultivation technique, she eventually had to give up.

Yet Qin Qi was still puzzled, "Both of you, with such immense abilities, how could killing ordinary Evil Demons be any more challenging for you than it is for me?"

Yuan Tianqing shook his head, "Little friend Qin Qi, you're mistaken. There are many Demon Kings among the Evil Demons!"

"And they form a standoff with us. If we were to act rashly, those Demon Kings wouldn't sit idly by."

"Likewise, if the Demon Kings take action, we won't stand by idly either. So, the decisive factor lies in you cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage and the outcomes of your battles with those Evil Demons."

"Once you decisively win, even if those Demon Kings are reluctant, they will obediently withdraw!"

Qin Qi finally understood.

He didn't rush to agree and said, "City Lord Yuan, I genuinely want to assist you both, but after a long and arduous journey, I'm physically and mentally exhausted. I'm truly afraid that if I promise City Lord Yuan, I might ultimately fail, letting you down!"

Yuan Tianqing, being astute, exchanged a glance with Bai Qingrou and immediately grasped Qin Qi's intentions.

For someone as skilled as Qin Qi at the Foundation Establishment Stage, being exhausted is hardly an issue.

The truth is, he's really looking for better benefits.

Yuan Tianqing smiled, "Rest assured, little friend Qin Qi. If you kill enough Evil Demons, we won't be stingy with the benefits!"

"Coincidentally, I heard from Yanran earlier that you are still missing a life-bound Magical Treasure. I happen to have some Magical Treasure embryos from which you can choose!"

Qin Qi was slightly taken aback, "Magical Treasure embryos?"

Seeing Qin Qi's lack of comprehension, Yuan Tianqing promptly explained, "It seems little friend Qin Qi is unaware, indeed."

"Sacrificing and refining a Magical Treasure is an extremely arduous process. But Magical Treasure embryos are different; these are treasures already refined by someone but are ownerless due to the previous owner's demise and so forth!"

"Eventually, time smooths away the original owner's traces. Such items are called Magical Treasure embryos and require significantly less time to refine than ordinary Magical Treasures!"

Hearing this, Qin Qi's interest was immediately piqued.

However, as he was about to agree, the mysterious woman sneered, "Are you going to be bought off by such conditions? Don't rush. Wait until they mention 'Wanbao Lou,' then agree!"

"Without offering something of real value, are they expecting you to take risks?"

Qin Qi, naturally siding with the mysterious woman, immediately stroked his chin, appearing deep in thought.

The mysterious woman was right; this task of slaughtering numerous Evil Demons was extremely perilous, which he understood well.

Seeing Qin Qi's hesitation, Yuan Tianqing quickly guessed his intentions.

He and Bai Qingrou exchanged a glance.

Bai Qingrou gently nodded.

Yuan Tianqing then said, "How about this? If you, little friend, can rank in the top ten for killing Evil Demons, we will consider granting you a spot to enter 'Wanbao Lou.'"

"Little friend Qin Qi, what do you think of this offer?"

Qin Qi raised his eyebrows.

As the mysterious woman said, they indeed mentioned this 'Wanbao Lou'!
