…
The summer afternoon was extremely hot. Just staying under the sun for a while would make one sweat all over.
Lin Shurou came to the small “study room” again. She wanted to take a cool and comfortable bath before lunch break.
Although the “Holy Angel’ Spring”, as the name suggested, often gave off hot air, the water temperature was only about 35 degrees Celsius. So, it would not be too hot in summer, or too cold during the winter. It was suitable for all four seasons.
She hung all her clothes on the clothes rack at the side and stepped on the wooden bench placed by the hot spring with her bare feet. The hot spring wall was half a meter high, and she had to support herself to cross it. This kind of behavior was a little unsightly, so she had specially placed a small stool at the side.
After stepping on the stool, she slowly stretched out her fair legs and slowly reached toward the calm water.
Her toe touched the water first, and in an instant, translucent ripples spread out.
Lin Shurou’s lips curled up as she slowly sank her white feet into the water. Finally, she stepped on the uneven bottom of the spring.
“Hua~”
With just one step, the wonderful touch in the water made her moan, and her cheeks gradually turned pink.
She quickly put in her other leg. She slowly sat down and leaned her back against the wall of the spring.
“Hm~ Hm~ Hm~”
It was as if countless tongues were licking her body. She felt extremely comfortable, and her whole body relaxed in the water.

Lying on the rock wall, she even thought she could sleep there.
However, just as she was about to close her eyes and take a nap, she heard a slight movement from the other room.
It was as if someone had pulled open a blanket and gotten out of bed.
Then, she heard footsteps approaching.
…
Because it was too hot, Ling Yi couldn’t fall asleep. He got out of bed and planned to take a bath to cool himself down.
As he walked, he took off his vest.
When he reached the door of the small room, the first thing he saw was a white thing, but he didn’t see clearly what it was.
When he took a closer look, his eyes widened in surprise.
“You…”
“You’re here?! Uh… I…”
Before he could finish, Lin Shurou beckoned him over with her palm and said, “Come over. I’ve already said that what’s mine is yours. There’s no need to avoid suspicion between us. Moreover, the space here is very large.”
The diameter of the spring was three meters.
There was more than enough space for ten people to sit at the same time, let alone two.
Since she had already said so, Ling Yi didn’t try to be affected or think too much into it. He nodded and walked over.
“Let’s hang your clothes together with my dress.”
“Alright,” he said.
There was only one hanger, and Ling Yi didn’t bother with such a small detail. He hung his clothes up.
He then stepped into the spring and sat down slowly.
“Aah… It’s comfortable.”
He leaned against the wall of the spring, enjoying the massage of the spring water while admiring the beautiful scenery in front of him. He was in a good mood.
This was the first time he had soaked in a hot spring with someone else. Strictly speaking, it wasn’t a hot spring, but it was almost the same.
He felt that if Lin Shurou was with him, he might be able to stay there for half a day.
“So what you said last time was true.” Lin Shurou blushed and chuckled.”So you really are a new player in June. I didn’t expect…”
She remembered that Ling Yi had already used the Elemental Spirit Blade in her front yard on the second day since God’s Path opened for the June batch. She couldn’t help but be slightly shocked.
“You reached level 10 in just two days… That’s amazing.”
Speaking of this, she recalled everything that “01” had done in the past few days, defeating the Beast King to save her district, donating the Ancient Monument for Shenxia, and so on.
She then looked at Ling Yi with deep admiration and gratitude.
Seeing Ling Yi touching his hair as if he wanted to wash his hair, she immediately took the initiative and said, “Let me help you wash your hair.”
“Oh? Okay.”
Having someone to help him wash was definitely better than washing himself.
Lin Shurou got up and flipped over the wall of the spring. She walked barefoot to the cabinet at the side, picked up a beige bath towel, and walked back to clean her feet. It didn’t matter if they were dirty, as they would be immediately cleaned once they touched the spring water.
She took the bath towel to Ling Yi’s side and soaked it in the water. Then, she knelt down on one knee and straightened her back. She covered Ling Yi’s head with the bath towel and began to rub it back and forth.
Ling Yi patted her arm, signaling her to come closer.
Although Lin Shurou’s face was red, she still obediently nodded her head.
…
Half an hour later, Ling Yi, who was done soaking in the hot spring, carried Lin Shurou back to their room.
The Holy Angel’s Spring and a hanger of clothes were left on the ground.
…
It was raining heavily that night.
While Lin Shurou went to prepare dinner, Ling Yi opened his bag and started to check the rewards he had received earlier in the afternoon.
He had received a total of six rewards. They were—
Five A-level treasures, five self-service weapon bags, and five divine attribute pills.
One special combat title, S-grade treasured medicine, “Dragon Emperor Tyrant blood “, and 1 “Random Ancient Tablet voucher “.
‘Since I mutated a Random Ancient Tablet voucher in the past, I can’t mutate it anymore,’
4
‘But at least I can mutate the remaining items.’
Ling Yi then mutated all the remaining five things.
It had consumed almost 200 of his mutation points.
The results were as follows:
A-grade Treasure Self-Service bag → S-grade Treasure Self-Service bag
A-grade Weapon Self-Service bag → S-grade Weapon Self-Service bag
Divine Attribute Pill → Super Divine Attribute Pill
Title [Miracle’s Glorious Pioneer] → Title [Miracle’s Glorious Pioneer] (the name remains the same, but the effect changes)
Dragon Emperor Tyrant Blood (S) → Dragon God Tyrant Blood (S)
Of course, since he could only mutate each item once, he was left with four Treasure Self-Service bags, four Weapon Self-Service bags, and four Divine Attribute Pills.
But he still got a lot of things.
Ling Yi mutated them one by one.
‘Since I don’t need a weapon for the time being, and I already have a treasure… So, I’ll leave all the self-service bags in my rucksack for now.’
Then, he took out all the attribute pills and ate them together.
[You’ve taken the ‘Divine Attribute Pill’ and gained 25 free attribute points!]
[You’ve consumed…]
[You’ve taken the ‘Super Divine Attribute Pill’ and gained 50 free attribute points!]
Four Divine Attribute Pill and one Super Divine Attribute Pill had provided him with 150 free attribute points in total.
The attribute pill was the only special item in God’s Path that could allow players to obtain free attribute points.
Each person can only take 10 pills.
Now that he had eaten five, Ling Yi could only eat five more in the future.
Then, he opened the title and looked at it in detail.
[Glorious Pioneer of Miracles]: A special combat title. It will take effect once the player has it. When a player’s battle reached a certain level, they would enter the miracle state, during which their endurance and physique would double.
The effect was easy to understand.
However, it didn’t give a specific instance on which level would enter this “miracle state”.
‘Mm… It doesn’t matter. It’s better than nothing anyway.’
This title did not bring him any obvious increase in combat strength.
If it wasn’t triggered, it was equivalent to not having it. If it was triggered, then it would purely be an unexpected joy.
He didn’t need to take it to heart.
At this point, the self-service bag, attribute pill, and title were all dealt with.
Only the precious medicine and the ancient tablet were left.
Ling Yi didn’t waste any time and immediately opened the Treasured Medicine to take a look.
It was worth mentioning that at that time, the reward he received from the announcement was actually “Random S-grade Treasure Medicine”. When he received it, God’s Path had already randomly chosen the medicine for him.
As such, the treasure medicine “Dragon Emperor Tyrant Blood” was the one that fell into his hands.
