When the woman arrived at Li Guanqi's room, her eyes still held a proud sheen, yet her expression had softened considerably.
Li Guanqi didn't understand why she had beco so gentle all of a sudden.
Looking at her, he smiled slightly and teased, "What's the matter? Can't get enough of ?"
The sight of that smug grin on Li Guanqi's face made the woman want to stomp it into oblivion. However, recalling the old man's threat and considering her current predicant, she abandoned the thought.
Taking a deep breath, she spoke softly, "We can talk this out."
"I can return all the Primordial Energy I absorbed from you."
Li Guanqi sat down on a chair, his face expressionless, and gestured for the woman to sit as well.
Seeing her unmoved, he chuckled, "Sit down, let's talk."
Once the woman was seated, Li Guanqi asked directly, "Who are you?"
The woman didn't hide anything, her thin lips parting as she whispered, "Sword Spirit."
Li Guanqi frowned and asked, "The Sword Spirit from the Sword Box?"
The woman didn't deny it, and after Li Guanqi pondered for a while, he asked softly, "How many swords are there inside the Sword Box?"
The woman slowly extended three fingers.
Li Guanqi nodded silently, then inquired, "Do you have a na?"
At his question, the woman's body stiffened, then she shook her head and said softly, "You're not yet worthy to know my na."
"If you need to call sothing, just Sword Spirit will do."
Although the woman repeated her earlier statent, Li Guanqi sensed that her words weren't ant to provoke him.
It seed more like... stating a fact?
Li Guanqi didn't dwell on it; he was more curious about the three swords inside the Sword Box.
The woman, as if reading his mind, said softly, "With your current strength, you can't handle any of the swords."
"Perhaps when you reach the Golden Elixir Realm, you might barely manage to control the first sword."
"As for ... heh, don't even think about it."
Li Guanqi shrugged and after a mont's thought, he asked softly, "What benefits can you offer by staying by my side?"
The woman pointed at herself.
Before she could speak, Li Guanqi muttered to himself, "Sheesh... she's quite beautiful, but if I can only look and not touch, it feels like a loss."
Hearing this, the Sword Spirit's face turned ashen with anger!
She had never encountered soone so shaless. Back in the day...
"Hmph! In your dreams!" the Sword Spirit retorted, her graceful figure leaning back in the chair as she spoke softly, "I an that I will guide you in your cultivation."
"I already have a master," Li Guanqi replied with a shrug, feeling her offer was aningless.
The Sword Spirit glanced at him and said emphatically, "I am not like him!"
"A re Golden Elixir, even if he once broke through to the Elental Infant, is nothing special!"
"What I can teach you, no one else in this world can!"
But Li Guanqi just parroted the last part of her statent in a mocking tone, thinking to himself, "Could this Sword Spirit be defective? She seems a bit off."
"Maybe... I should just let her go?"
The Sword Spirit closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and with a wave of her hand, a Spirit Light ford in front of Li Guanqi.
He imdiately realized that the figure made of Spirit Light was demonstrating a technique from the incomplete cultivation thod he practiced.
The circulation pattern of the Spirit Light was completely different from his own!
Li Guanqi was shocked to discover that this thod could increase his cultivation speed by a full thirty percent!
And beside it appeared many unfamiliar incantations.
Li Guanqi raised an eyebrow and exclaid in surprise, "Is this the continuation of that incomplete cultivation thod?"
The Sword Spirit nodded casually and pursed her lips, "Such a trashy thod is too easy to deduce the continuation for."
"But it does suit your Spirit Root well, so there's no rush to change thods before Divine Transformation."
Li Guanqi clicked his tongue but didn't retort, only scoffing inwardly, "She looks down on it but doesn't offer a higher-grade thod."
However, he kept these thoughts to himself, knowing that morizing the incantations and the thod's circulation pattern was what truly mattered.
Monts later, the Spirit Light dissipated.
The Sword Spirit glanced at the contented young man and asked softly, "Any other questions?"
Li Guanqi waved his hands with a smile, "No questions, of course no questions now."
"But... I just wanted to ask, will you absorb my Primordial Energy again in the future?"
The Sword Spirit slowly stood up and said softly, "No, but if you could share so with , that would be better. Whether you share or not is up to you."
Li Guanqi's expression changed as he asked, "Truly no more?"
The Sword Spirit in the red dress pondered for a mont and then said softly, "I can no longer forcibly absorb your Primordial Energy. This ti was only because I needed so power to awaken."
"But... I hope that after you establish your Foundation, you can share so Primordial Energy with . I need it to keep my spirit from dissipating."
"Only if you share your Primordial Energy can I slowly regain my strength."
Li Guanqi finally relaxed; in two months, the first sect assessnt would take place.
If she continued to absorb his energy, his cultivation speed would significantly decrease.
However, just as the Sword Spirit was about to leave through the door, she suddenly turned her head to look at Li Guanqi.
Li Guanqi instantly tensed up, not wanting to provoke the Sword Spirit's anger again.
To think she could effortlessly modify an Earth-tier cultivation thod!
And she was just the spirit of a sword!
How powerful must that sword be?
"One day, I'll have her... cough cough... in my grasp!"
The Sword Spirit watched Li Guanqi for at least three breaths, then spoke with a weighty voice.
"No matter what, don't die!"
This novel is available on "pawread".
After saying that, she transford into a streak of light and entered the Sword Box.
Li Guanqi stood there, stunned for a long ti.
"What did she an by that? What does 'don't die' an?"
"From her level of realm, she's definitely sothing extraordinary..."
"She wouldn't say sothing nonsensical, so what does it an?"
"Could it be that she's been overwheld by my dominance and fallen for in such a short ti?"
Li Guanqi shook his head, vainly smoothing back his hair.
A mysterious force erged within him, and his aura climbed steadily, quickly recovering to the mid-stage of the fifth layer of Qi Refining.
It was slightly inferior to his previous peak state.
Suddenly!
The door to the courtyard was burst open by an old man.
