Chapter 18 – Accidentally entered Leng Feiyan’s bedchamber

Lin Jichen glanced over his attribute panel.

His strength had risen to 35, whereas the average player at the Initial Stage of Qi Refining only had about 10 points. He was now more than three times the average.

One slash from him was equivalent to four from someone else.

His defense was even more outrageous. Thanks to the Gathering Spirit Jade Pendant gifted by Nangong Yue, his defense had reached an astonishing 45.

Lin Jichen could now confidently say that no ordinary attack from any player could break his defense or injure him in the slightest.

Unless they hit a weak spot.

After basking in self-admiration for a while.

Lin Jichen suddenly remembered that Nangong Yue hadn't shown him to his quarters yet.

This Senior Sister... was a bit unreliable...

Seeing that Nangong Yue had left early, Lin Jichen had no choice but to leave the grand hall and fumble his way towards the back courtyard.

The Sword Palace was surprisingly large, and after several turns, Lin Jichen still couldn't find his quarters.

Just as he was about to give up, a beautiful palace appeared before him.

Guessing this was the place, Lin Jichen tentatively walked in.

Unexpectedly, before he could take a step forward, he was repelled by a fierce energy.

"-2199!"

Pfft!

Nangong Yue was filled with guilt and apologized profusely, "It's all my fault, Junior brother. If it weren't for my carelessness, you wouldn't have been hurt."

Lin Jichen quickly raised his hand, shaking his head weakly, as limp as his... toe.

"It's not Senior Sister's fault. It's just that I'm too clumsy, even getting lost while walking. I hate my head for being as dumb as a pig!"

"You're still speaking up for me even in this state, Junior brother, you're truly kind."

Nangong Yue was moved.

【Ding! Nangong Yue's affection level for you has increased by 5! Current affection level: 15 points (Enjoyable Conversation)】

Lin Jichen secretly rejoiced, seizing another opportunity to boost affection level, hehe.

If he hadn't acted a bit and said those words, there would be no increase in affection level, only guilt from the other party.

So, one must not treat the characters in "Tale of Immortal" as mere NPCs; they are beings with flesh, blood, and emotions.

It's just that no one else knew this except for him, the reborn one.

After speaking, Nangong Yue took out a bottle of elixir and handed it to Lin Jichen.

Lin Jichen: Hehehe, a woman's gift is always sweet~

"This is a Vitality Elixir. Eat it quickly. I'm giving you the whole bottle as a little compensation."

Lin Jichen accepted it without hesitation.

【Spirit Grade·Vitality Elixir】: Restores 150 points of vitality per second in a non-combat state, lasting for ten seconds, 20 pills per bottle.

Another great item obtained for free.

After consuming two pills, Lin Jichen's vitality was fully restored.

He skillfully stored the rest in his ring.

"Thank you, Senior Sister."

"It's me who should apologize. Come on, I'll take you to your quarters."

With Nangong Yue leading the way, Lin Jichen finally found his quarters, which were spacious but still for his use alone.

"This place has been set up by the Sect Master with an Earth Grade Gathering Spirit Array. Meditating here daily will greatly increase the speed of absorbing spiritual energy. Even my father only has a Mysterious Grade Gathering Spirit Array, I'm so envious of you."

Nangong Yue explained.

Lin Jichen hadn't expected his quarters to be equipped with an Earth Grade Gathering Spirit Array.

Players could choose to meditate in a safe place when logging off, which was also known as leveling up while AFK.

Generally, cultivation growth was very slow this way.

Unless one found a place rich in spiritual energy and safe, it might be a bit faster.

If not, a Gathering Spirit Array could be used as a substitute, and all sect quarters were equipped with one.

However, they were usually of Ordinary Grade or Spirit Grade, with Mysterious Grade being extremely rare.

An Earth Grade Gathering Spirit Array accelerated spiritual energy absorption by 300%.

Lin Jichen's cultivation talent was already maxed out, and he absorbed spiritual energy very quickly.

With the Earth Grade Gathering Spirit Array, even if he was AFK, his cultivation would soar.

"Alright, my task is finally thoroughly completed. Junior brother, see you later."

Nangong Yue left for real this time, leaving Lin Jichen alone in his quarters.

Seeing that there was nothing pressing at the moment and that Leng Feiyan had asked him to meet her in the grand hall the next morning, likely to assign him a cultivation task, Lin Jichen decided to meditate and log off in his quarters.
