Ling Qingxue nodded and said, "Oh! I got it … "
Speaking of this, she suddenly froze. Then, she stared at Xia Ruofei with wide eyes and said in a trembling voice, "So, you … you're really Ruofei?"
Xia Ruofei didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Silly girl, are you still doubting my identity? Come on, is there such a realistic inner demon? Let's hurry up and find Huang Yujing. Don't waste any more time! "
Ling Qingxue's delicate body trembled slightly, as if she had just confirmed that the person in front of her was indeed her boyfriend and not the inner demon that appeared in the illusion.
She stared at Xia Ruofei with wide eyes, then threw herself into Xia Ruofei's arms. After feeling Xia Ruofei's familiar breath and warm embrace, she choked and said, "Ruofei, I … I was really scared. After entering the Arcane Realm, I was suddenly left alone. I started to look for you everywhere, but I couldn't find you …"
Xia Ruofei gently patted Ling Qingxue's back and said, "It's okay! It's okay! Now that we've finally reunited, I'll take care of everything from now on. You won't be in any danger! "
Xia Ruofei continued, "Qingxue, speaking of which, you were able to enter the third level of the Tower of Trials in such a short time. Your performance is already very outstanding! I was always worried that you would encounter danger in the Tower of Trials! Finally, God bless you. Not only are you not in danger, but your results are also so good! "
Ling Qingxue snuggled into Xia Ruofei's arms and said, "I don't know. I was muddle-headed all the way to the third level of the Tower of Trials. But just as I entered the third level, I encountered a very realistic illusion. I almost fell into it and couldn't get out. Later, I received a mission to kill a low-level Sea Serpent Beast, but just as I killed one, I encountered a second one. Suddenly, the environment changed and I came to this wasteland. I thought I had fallen into a Sea Serpent Beast's illusion! I couldn't find a way out of this wasteland at all. I searched for more than ten hours. Just now, I saw that Huang Yujing was halfway on the ground. I was curious, so I dug it out. I didn't expect that after a while, you would appear … "
Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "No wonder … Fortunately, you picked up that Huang Yujing. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to accurately locate you!"
Xia Ruofei found more than two thousand Huang Yujing in the fourth level of the Tower of Trials. Naturally, he knew that most of these Huang Yujing were buried underground. There were a few that were half-exposed, but it was relatively rare.
In the area where Ling Qingxue was, there was only one Huang Yujing in a radius of dozens of kilometers. The probability of accidentally walking to the location of the Huang Yujing was very low. Coincidentally, this Huang Yujing was half-exposed, so the probability was even lower.
But Ling Qingxue happened to encounter it, and she picked up the Huang Yujing.
It had to be said that there seemed to be a kind of power in the dark that destined Xia Ruofei and Ling Qingxue to meet here today.
Ling Qingxue asked curiously, "Ruofei, what's going on? Why was I directly sent to the fourth level before I completed the mission on the third level of the Tower of Trials? Why can I still be in the same Tower of Trials as you? "
Xia Ruofei laughed and said, "It's a long story! Our time is limited. Let's talk as we walk! "
"Okay!" Ling Qingxue nodded heavily.
After meeting up with Xia Ruofei again, Ling Qingxue felt relieved. Ever since she entered the Secret Realm and separated from Xia Ruofei, she had always felt a strong sense of danger. Her heart had always been hanging in the air, but now she could finally relax.
Xia Ruofei reached out and grabbed Ling Qingxue's Flying Sword. He said with a smile, "Put away your Flying Sword first. Let's go!"
After Ling Qingxue put away her Flying Sword, Xia Ruofei directly summoned his Qu Shuang Flying Sword. Then, he gently hugged Ling Qingxue's slender waist and the two of them stepped onto the Qu Shuang Flying Sword together.
He silently activated his sword technique, and the Qu Shuang Flying Sword suddenly rose into the air. However, it didn't fly very high. It basically stuck close to the ground and adjusted its altitude according to the ups and downs of the terrain. The two of them flew on their swords in the direction that Xia Ruofei had already chosen.
Ling Qingxue's cultivation was only at the Qi Refining Stage. She didn't know how to fly on a sword, and she didn't know that in the Tower of Trials, cultivators' Sword Kinesis Flight sword techniques would be ineffective. Therefore, she wasn't too surprised when she saw Xia Ruofei carrying her on a Sword Kinesis Flight.
After all, it wasn't her first time flying on a Sword Kinesis Flight. Xia Ruofei had carried her on a Sword Kinesis Flight several times.
On the way, Xia Ruofei briefly told Ling Qingxue about how he had broken the record and completed the trial mission. He had received the reward of being able to teleport to the same trial space as his companions.
Of course, Xia Ruofei didn't mention that this was the second time he had chosen this reward. He also didn't mention that when he was on the third level of the Tower of Trials, he had killed Shen Tianfang, who had also been teleported to the same trial space.
Xia Ruofei didn't want Ling Qingxue to worry. At the same time, he didn't want her to come into contact with the dark side of the cultivation world.
When the two of them flew together, their speed would more or less be affected.
After about ten minutes, Xia Ruofei flew to the location where Huang Yujing was buried.
He landed his flying sword but didn't rush to dig. Instead, he took out the time array flags from the Ring-Tu space and skillfully set up a time array around that location.
In fact, he had done the same when he had been digging up Huang Yujing.
It was very easy to set up a time array using the array flags. It could be completed in a few breaths. After setting up the time array, the process of digging up Huang Yujing was very time-saving.
Xia Ruofei told Ling Qingxue and pulled her into the range of the time array flags. Then, he took out a shovel from the Ring-Tu space and started digging without saying anything.
Xia Ruofei was already very skilled at digging up Huang Yujing. After one or two minutes, he successfully got a Huang Yujing.
Xia Ruofei directly threw the Huang Yujing into the backpack hanging in front of his chest.
However, he didn't take back the time array flags. Instead, he took off the backpack and put it on the ground. Then, he said to Ling Qingxue, "Qingxue! Sit down now and absorb the Huang Yujing in this time array. Absorb all the Huang Yujing in the backpack. There should be more than enough time! "
Ling Qingxue nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground. Then, she asked, "Ruofei, what about you?"
"There's still about an hour left. I'll continue to look for Huang Yujing. This is good stuff. The more the better!" Xia Ruofei said, "I'll set up some warning and protection arrays outside the time array. You don't have to go anywhere. Just pay attention to your own safety." "I've been to a lot of places on the fourth floor of the training tower. I haven't encountered any danger at all, so you don't have to worry!"
"It's better for you to keep it!" Ling Qingxue said, "It's more helpful for your mental strength to improve!"
Xia Ruofei shook his head with a smile and said, "I've already absorbed more than 2,000 Huang Yujing. This thing doesn't have much effect on me anymore. You should hurry up and absorb it!" "Time is precious now, so I won't talk to you anymore. I have to rush to the next location!"
Xia Ruofei told a white lie. In fact, after using Huang Yujing many times, the effect did not decrease. At least, Xia Ruofei didn't feel that the effect of Huang Yujing's mental strength would decrease significantly.
However, if he didn't say so, Ling Qingxue would definitely not be willing to absorb Huang Yujing.
Sure enough, Ling Qingxue immediately nodded and said, "Okay then! Be careful! "
"Don't worry! There's no danger here. However, after we enter the fifth floor of the training tower, we have to be careful. If I'm not wrong, I'm afraid that from the fifth floor onwards, the difficulty of the mission will increase by another level. If we're not careful, we might even lose our lives! " Xia Ruofei said seriously, "It's because of this that we have to improve our strength as much as possible! So, if you absorb Huang Yujing, you're not only helping yourself, but also reducing the pressure on me. Do you understand? "
Ling Qingxue would never disagree with Xia Ruofei on such important matters. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay! Don't worry! I'll do my best to absorb it! "
Xia Ruofei gently stroked Ling Qingxue's hair and stepped out of the time formation. Then, he used his fastest speed to set up an alarm and defensive formation around the time formation.
He glanced at Ling Qingxue, who was already seriously absorbing Huang Yujing's energy. Then, he took out his Qu Shuang Flying Sword and stepped on it. He quickly flew to the next location where Huang Yujing was.
Xia Ruofei still had a few hundred pieces of Huang Yujing in his backpack. He quickly made the decision to let Ling Qingxue absorb it.
After all, it was unlikely that he would be able to find Huang Yujing again in the future. Ling Qingxue's cultivation was still relatively low, and so was her spiritual power. In theory, the lower the cultivation base, the more obvious the effect of Huang Yujing's improvement would be.
Therefore, if Ling Qingxue absorbed a few hundred pieces of Huang Yujing, her spiritual power would increase by a lot, and she would almost certainly be able to break through to the next realm. However, if Xia Ruofei absorbed it, his improvement would be very limited. As for directly breaking through to the Spirit Transformation Stage, it would be even more impossible. He would probably only have a chance if the amount of Huang Yujing increased by ten times.
However, there wasn't enough time now. Therefore, Xia Ruofei felt that letting Ling Qingxue absorb Huang Yujing was the most cost-effective choice.
After all, if one's spiritual power was much stronger than one's spiritual power when one was in the Qi Refining Stage, it would be very beneficial for one's future cultivation and the stability of one's foundation.
This kind of benefit would run throughout one's cultivation. The stronger one's spiritual power, the stronger one's brain function, and the better one's understanding of cultivation would be compared to ordinary cultivators of the same level.
Xia Ruofei naturally wanted to help Ling Qingxue grasp this great opportunity with long-term benefits.
He was now bent on digging up more Huang Yujing. Even one more piece would be of great help to Ling Qingxue.
Without the help of the Time Formation Flag, Xia Ruofei's digging speed of Huang Yujing would be slower. However, he didn't care so much. There was only one Time Formation Flag. If he used it, Ling Qingxue would be useless. There were so many Huang Yujing. Not to mention Ling Qingxue, even he himself would find it difficult to absorb all of them in the remaining time without the help of the Time Formation Flag.
Xia Ruofei's figure flew across the fourth floor of the Training Tower. He could see his figure waving a shovel everywhere with Huang Yujing.
In addition to racing against time to dig up Huang Yujing, he had also been paying attention to the countdown on the Training Tower.
This was because not only did he have to dig up as many Huang Yujing as possible, but he also had to calculate the time and distance. He had to return to Ling Qingxue's side before the countdown ended. Otherwise, no matter how many Huang Yujing he dug up, he wouldn't be able to take it away. The effect would be zero.
Time passed by minute by minute. Xia Ruofei had been working at a high intensity all this time. Even his forehead had begun to sweat. Normally, this kind of low-intensity work wouldn't make him sweat at all.
When Xia Ruofei grabbed the last Huang Yujing, there were only five minutes and fifty-eight seconds left on the countdown timer in the Perceptive Mirror.
Xia Ruofei stuffed the Huang Yujing into the backpack hanging in front of his chest. He stepped onto the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and put away the shovel on the ground. Then, he flew toward Ling Qingxue's location on the sword.
Xia Ruofei flew at the fastest speed on the sword while staring at the countdown timer in the Perceptive Mirror.
Five minutes … Four minutes … Three minutes … Two minutes …
When there was only one minute and twenty-seven seconds left, Xia Ruofei finally arrived at Ling Qingxue's location.
He jumped off the Qu Shuang Flying Sword and stepped into the Time Formation.
Xia Ruofei threw the backpack on the ground. While panting, he said to Ling Qingxue, "Qingxue, hurry up and absorb the rest of the Huang Yujing. There's not much time left."
In fact, with the flow of time around ninety times faster, Ling Qingxue had already absorbed all the Huang Yujing that Xia Ruofei had left behind. However, she didn't leave the Time Formation. Instead, she cultivated in the Time Formation while adapting to her state after her mental strength skyrocketed.
Ling Qingxue also knew that time was of the essence. Even with the effects of the Time Formation, there was only less than two hours left.
Xia Ruofei had dug up more than a hundred pieces of Huang Yujing on this trip. If Xia Ruofei absorbed them himself, about two hours would definitely be enough. However, if Ling Qingxue absorbed them, she would have to work harder.
Therefore, Ling Qingxue didn't say anything. She nodded and sat down cross-legged. She took out a piece of Huang Yujing from her backpack and began to absorb it.
Xia Ruofei had been paying attention to the countdown timer in the Perceptive Mirror.
Because Xia Ruofei was also within the range of the Time Formation Flag, the countdown timer in the Perceptive Mirror's field of vision became very slow. It would only skip one second every one and a half to two minutes.
There were about two hours left.
Ling Qingxue's face was solemn. She kept taking out Huang Yujing from her backpack to absorb it. Every time she finished absorbing it, she didn't say anything and immediately took out a new piece.
When the countdown timer in the Perceptive Mirror's field of vision reached the last ten seconds, Ling Qingxue had just absorbed a piece of Huang Yujing. When she reached for it again, she realized that her backpack was empty.
