NOVPUB"Don’t worry, I have a way!"
"Oh?"
Wang Ba’s eyes lit up with anticipation.
Qin Lingxiao confidently pulled out her storage treasure without hesitation.
However, in the next instant, she froze abruptly.
She just then realized that her mana was completely depleted. Normally, she could easily open her magic tool with a mere thought, but now, she could not open it at all.
"This..."
A look of embarrassment immediately spread across Qin Lingxiao’s delicate yet distressed face.
She planned to cultivate Spiritual Energy to condense mana, but soon, her gaze turned grave.
"There’s no Spiritual Energy here?!"
Her weakened soul reached out several tens of meters before hitting its limit. She could feel no trace of Spiritual Energy.
Without Spiritual Energy, she couldn’t cultivate mana, without mana, she couldn’t open her storage treasure. Without the numerous cultivation resources within the storage treasure, there would be no replenishment of Spiritual Energy. Without the replenishment of Spiritual Energy, she would...
Realization hit.
At that moment, Qin Lingxiao, who was accustomed to environments rich in Spiritual Energy, felt a wave of fear gushing uncontrollably.
However, she strived to maintain a calm expression.
For some reason, she didn’t want Wang Ba to see her panic and vulnerability.
This might still be the pride of being a royal offspring.
At this moment, Wang Ba’s voice echoed from not far away.
"Go ahead."
The sound of wind stirred, and Qin Lingxiao instinctively caught the item that the other party had thrown over.
Upon closer inspection, she found it was a white porcelain bottle. 𝓃𝓸𝓿𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝓬ℴ𝓶
A look of confusion spread across Qin Lingxiao’s tense face:
"This is...?"
"It’s the Essence of Spirit Chicken I prepared, a type of Class II spirit food. It should help you recover some mana. You should refine it quickly."
Wang Ba spoke casually, his gaze filled with pure anticipation.
Upon hearing this, Qin Lingxiao almost lost composure.
"He saw through me! This is absolutely mortifying!"
Unavoidably, she was reminded of how confident she appeared not long ago, and a strong sense of shame surged within her.
"It’s alright! Just accept his spirit food. Once I take out the treasure and save him as well, I would have repaid his favor..."
Striving to calm down, managing to maintain her facial expression, she quickly opened the white porcelain bottle. However, to her shock, she discovered there was a prohibition placed on the bottle which required an infusion of mana to unlock.
This was a small prohibition put in place to prevent the effects from leaking or overflowing. However, at this moment, it became a towering mountain in front of her.
At that moment, she could only lift her head in embarrassment and look at Wang Ba again.
"I forgot, I had placed a prohibition on it..."
Wang Ba, with a guilty expression on his face, quickly walked over, took the white porcelain bottle from Qin Lingxiao’s hand, infused it with mana, and successfully opened it.
Qin Lingxiao tried to suppress the complex feelings in her heart, her gaze slowly calmed down. She then drank all of the Spirit Chicken Essence and began to refine it.
Half a day later, Qin Lingxiao finally managed to successfully refine the bottle of Spirit Chicken Essence and hurriedly opened her storage treasure.
She really didn’t want to endure another moment without mana.
The first thing she took out was a bottle of elixir.
Wang Ba didn’t know much about elixirs, but looking at Qin Lingxiao’s solemn attitude, it seemed to be quite valuable.
He did not rush her, he understood what it was like to lack mana.
Qin Lingxiao also did not forget what she had said before, and quickly took a compass out of her storage treasure.
A smile finally appeared on her face:
"This is the ’God Suppressing Compass’, it is one in a set of magic tools crafted by my ancestors of the Qin family after surveying the Nine Continents. As long as we’re still in Little Cang World, we will soon be able to confirm our position."
"Once confirmed, other God Suppressing Compasses will be able to sense it. By then, someone will come to save us."
Upon hearing this, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel joyous and surprised.
His main reason for saving her was because he remembered that she had once ’saved’ him when they first met and encountered a Class IV Feather Serpent.
Although Wang Ba didn’t really need her help, and her attitude towards him afterwards wasn’t very good, he still helped when he saw a chance to do so.
However, he didn’t expect her to give him another surprise.
He immediately looked at the God Suppressing Compass. After Qin Lingxiao infused it with mana, golden characters on the compass started to swiftly rotate.
Both of them watched the compass expectantly.
Half an incense’s time later...
Wang Ba looked at the continuously rotating character tray, and couldn’t help but lift his head to look at Qin Lingxiao, asking confused:
"This... Brother Qin, how long is ’soon’?"
Feeling Wang Ba’s questioning gaze, Qin Lingxiao, though she felt somewhat guilty, still maintained her composure and calmly replied:
"Don’t be impatient, there might be some interference from the Yuanci."
Wang Ba thought about it, and didn’t orule out this possibility.
So, he continued to wait patiently.
Half a day later.
The color drained from Qin Lingxiao’s delicate face. Calmly, she retracted the compass, which continued spinning and showed no signs of stopping. She casually said,
"There has been a bit of an issue. I will check again."
Saying this, she turned around and calmly walked away.
However, her ears were inexplicably red.
Seeing this, Wang Ba was at a loss for words.
