Chapter 15

Li Qingxuan sat on the hall chair and opened his personal control panel.

【Name: Li Qingxuan】

【Age: 24】

【Gender: Male】

【Constitution: 149】

【Spirit: 260】(The average adult value is 5)

【Occupation: Weird Master】

【Abilities: Weird Encyclopedia, Domination, Devour Evolution, Soul Arrow】

【Evaluation: An ordinary and somewhat handsome man; if he doesn't grow quickly, he might die the next second.】

Seeing that his Spirit attribute had increased by 201 points overnight, he couldn't help feeling delighted.

Thinking of the treasure chests obtained last night, he called Li Feifei out of the room, Li Qingxuan took out the chests from his backpack, arranged the four chests in a row, and placed them on the table.

Li Feifei's gaze fell on the chests on the table, her eyes sparkling with curiosity and anticipation, as if the chests held endless secrets.

She walked slowly to the chests, her fingers lightly brushing the surface; the cool sensation made an inexplicable excitement well up in her heart, as if she were touching an unknown treasure.

Li Qingxuan smiled at Li Feifei and said, "These chests were found last night in the nest of the Human-faced Spider; I don't know what good things are inside."

"Then hurry up and open them to see," Li Feifei said.

"Shall I try?" Li Feifei's voice trembled slightly; she rubbed her hands excitedly, glanced nervously at Li Qingxuan, and clenched her fists as if cheering herself on.

Li Qingxuan opened the Black Iron Treasure Chest, which yielded a set of cotton coat and pants and a quilt; although not valuable, thinking of their guesses, he wasn't disappointed.

"You can have this quilt; my luck seems average, so why don't you open one?"

Taking a deep breath, she reached over and pulled the Silver Treasure Chest toward her, lifted it hard, and the lid sprang open.

The chest burst open with radiant light, revealing a spear whose tip was wrapped in lightning.

【Item: Thunder Pattern Spear】

【Durability: 200/200】

【Description: A heavy spear, one zhang long, its tip inflicts lightning damage, dealing increased damage to Bizarre Spiritual Entity-type Weird Creatures.】

Li Qingxuan reached out and picked up the spear; it felt heavy in his hand, lightning flickered at the tip as he gripped it, and a surge of heroic fervor rose in his heart.

The previous Black Iron Spear's durability had been dropping faster and faster, struggling to keep up with his attack strength; now with this Thunder Pattern Spear, his attack power would greatly increase, and he would be even more suppressive against Bizarre Spiritual Entity-type Weird Creatures.

Li Qingxuan's face showed joy, then he gestured with his eyes for Li Feifei to open another Silver Treasure Chest; Li Feifei slowly lifted the lid, revealing three Soul Stones and a Teleportation Scroll.

【Item: Soul Stone】

【Effect: Spirit +5】

【Description: Can increase the Spirit attribute.】

【Item: Teleportation Scroll】

【Effect: Can place a marker at a designated location; after use, it can teleport a person back.】

【Description: Can teleport a person to a designated location.】

Seeing the effect of the Teleportation Scroll, Li Qingxuan lifted Li Feifei and spun her a few times before slowly saying, "Great, with this Teleportation Scroll, future expeditions will be much safer."

Li Feifei was made dizzy by Li Qingxuan's spin; when he gently set her down, her cheeks flushed like sunset, red all the way to her ears, she lowered her head bashfully, not daring to look at Li Qingxuan.

"Cough... I was just too excited, not on purpose."

"It's fine; this Teleportation Scroll is indeed excellent, useful for both recruiting and saving lives."

Li Qingxuan hurriedly changed the subject, "There's still a Golden Treasure Chest; you should open it too."

Li Qingxuan picked up the last Golden Treasure Chest and pushed it toward Li Feifei.

Li Feifei took a deep breath, then flung open the Golden Treasure Chest; as it opened, a cool breath issued forth, but before her eyes lay nothing.

Li Qingxuan stared, his gaze shifting to Li Feifei, a flicker of doubt in his eyes, and he asked, "Why is there nothing inside?"

"It's in the backpack," Li Feifei said, opening her control panel and sharing the information of the item obtained from the chest with Li Qingxuan.

【Item: Spirit Spring Core】

【Effect: After use, it can summon a Spirit Spring around the Shelter; long-term consumption of the spring water can increase Constitution and Spirit attributes.】

【Description: Spirit Spring Core, a heavenly treasure, contains pure spiritual power and can accelerate plant growth.】

Gazing at the Spirit Spring Core before him, Li Qingxuan's eyes instantly sparkled with delight.

He never expected that this seemingly empty Golden Treasure Chest would actually conceal such a precious treasure.

"Looks like our luck isn't bad; this Spirit Spring Core is definitely a treasure," Li Qingxuan said with a smile to Li Feifei.

Li Feifei's face also broke into a happy smile; she never imagined she could obtain such a precious treasure.

Li Qingxuan stored the Spirit Spring Core in his backpack, then looked at Li Feifei and said, "Now that we have the Spirit Spring Core, we no longer need to fetch water from the river. In a moment, we'll summon the spring."

Li Feifei nodded lightly, her eyes shining with barely concealed anticipation.

Although she didn't know the spring's effects, just the fact that it accelerates plant growth was enough to fill her with anticipation for the Spirit Spring Core.

After discussing, they decided to first find a suitable spot behind the Shelter to summon the spring, then test its power-enhancing effect.

Li Qingxuan brought Li Feifei to the open space beside Low Hill, where sunlight was abundant and the soil fertile—an ideal place to summon the spring.

He took the Spirit Spring Core from his backpack and gently placed it on the ground.

The Spirit Spring Core emitted a soft glow, as if alive, slowly rotating on the ground.

Gradually, the light grew brighter, and the surrounding air became increasingly moist.

Suddenly, a clear ringing sound came; the Spirit Spring Core plunged into the earth, and a jet of clear water shot up from it, straight into the clouds.

The two hurriedly retreated to a distance; the water stream traced a beautiful arc in the air, then fell like rain, moistening the land.

When the water hit the ground, a circular pool about four to five meters deep and roughly ten meters in diameter appeared; the water rippled gently, clear to the bottom, and a delicate fragrance rose from it, making one feel lightheaded upon smelling it.

Li Qingxuan looked at the spring before him, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.

He cupped his hands to draw a handful of spring water, took a light sip, and instantly felt a stream of refreshing qi flow from his mouth straight to his dantian; his whole body felt extremely relaxed, and then he drank several more sips.

'This Spirit Spring water is truly miraculous; just one sip makes one feel invigorated, dispelling much of bodily fatigue, yet after drinking several sips, there is no noticeable improvement in constitution or spirit—indeed, long-term consumption is still needed.' Li Qingxuan said to Li Feifei.

Li Feifei also cupped her hands to draw a handful of spring water, took a light sip, and instantly felt a warm current flow from her mouth into her heart, making her feel extremely comfortable.

Li Qingxuan watched Li Feifei enjoying herself contentedly; seeing her lift her head and give him a sweet smile, that smile was like the warm spring sun, instantly making the whole world brighten.

The two sat quietly by the Spirit Spring, gazing at the clear, mirror-like water ripples gently swaying, listening to the pleasant sound of the spring water trickling, inhaling the fresh air that permeated the surrounding nature, as if the whole world were immersed in a tranquil and beautiful atmosphere.
