Chapter 413 She was there to cause trouble from the start.
After listening, Tianyan smiled and said, "Upgrading a non-mutated spiritual root is possible, but upgrading a mutated spiritual root is not."
Ling Yi was somewhat surprised upon hearing this: "Why?"
Tianyan Dao: [Water, Fire, Ice, and Wood—these four spiritual roots have undergone transformations after absorbing earthly spiritual energy. While becoming special, they also require more unlocking points to improve.]
Ling Yi: "...So how much does it take to upgrade a mutated spiritual root?"
Tianyan: [Ten Unsealing Points per use.]
"Fine." Ling Yi was even more speechless after hearing this: "Going in once, the number of attempts you accumulate isn't even enough to upgrade your spiritual root."
Tianyan said: "[It will come eventually if you accumulate it slowly.]"
Save up slowly?
The upgraded spiritual root after mutation has ten upgrade opportunities. Each upgrade requires ten unlocking points, so ten upgrades would require one hundred points. For the four types of mutated spiritual roots, four hundred points would be needed.
Four hundred reopening points require four thousand people; accumulating them slowly takes too much time.
Looks like I'll have to find another way to save up.
Just as Ling Yi was pondering, Tian Yan's voice rang out again: [Unsealing the sixth image will unlock 5% of your physical strength.]
"Five percent?" Ling Yi immediately became interested and asked Tian Yan, "It's a five percent reward for unlocking the seal, and it doesn't require unlocking points, right?"
Unlocking 1% of physical strength requires 100 unlock points, 5% requires 500, and 500 requires 5,000 people. Although this reward is not as good as the previous ones, the physical strength is real, so it's not bad.
The stronger one's body, the greater the force one can withstand. Once one reaches a certain level of strength, one will no longer bleed even when drawing a sword.
[Hmm.] Tianyan responded: [It's a reward, no unlock points needed.]
"That's alright." Ling Yi said, "We'll go look for it after we've rested."
【Okay.】 Tian Yan responded, reminding Ling Yi: 【Your cultivation has reached Level One Yellow Spirit Saint. You can accumulate Unsealing Points to unlock one percent of your seal.】
"Alright." Ling Yi raised his hand to his forehead: "Originally it was only four hundred short, now it's another hundred, five hundred short."
Tian Yan chuckled: [Upgrading your spiritual root isn't urgent; you can first accumulate one hundred points to unlock your body's strength.]
"We need them all," Ling Yi said. "We're short that much, time to get to work."
【Okay.】Tian Yan said: 【Call me if you need anything.】
"No for now." Ling Yi put away the Destiny Diagram and prepared to leave the space: "You've used up too much power this time, get some rest."
"Okay." Tianyan responded.
After finishing his conversation with Tianyan, Ling Yi left the space.
Standing inside the house, looking at the house that had been uninhabited for more than half a year, Ling Yi went forward and opened all the doors and windows to ventilate the room, and then began to clean.
The others originally planned to do a quick clean and then rest before cleaning more thoroughly. However, upon hearing the commotion from Ling Yi's side, they decided to stop resting and start cleaning carefully instead.
After cleaning up and having dinner, everyone went back to their rooms to rest.
...
The next morning, Ling Yi knocked on Ye Qingshuang's door.
Ye Qingshuang opened the door, looking exhausted. Seeing that it was Ling Yi outside, she immediately perked up: "Ling Yi, what's wrong?"
Ling Yi smiled at her sleepy look: "Wash your face, and I'll take you out to play."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingshuang immediately became interested: "Where are we going to play?"
Ling smiled but didn't say where it was: "You'll find out when you come with me."
"Let me wash up first." Ye Qingshuang said, and was about to go back to her room to wash up, but then she remembered the others and turned back to ask Ling Yi, "Where is the others? Are they up yet?"
Ling Yi said, "I didn't call them, and I'm not taking them with me."
"I understand." Ye Qingshuang didn't ask any more questions. She quickly washed up in her room and then left the courtyard with Ling Yi.
Stepping out of the courtyard, Ling Yi pulled the little golden tiger off his shoulder and hugged it tightly: "If you keep squatting like that, your shoulders will become uneven."
"Hmph." The little golden tiger whimpered, expressing its dissatisfaction. It wasn't that heavy!
Ling Yi didn't care what it thought. He squeezed its paws. Perhaps because of its strength, the little guy's whole body was icy cold. It was cold to hug in winter, but it was especially cool to hug in summer.
The little golden tiger felt comfortable being squeezed and nestled silently in Ling Yi's arms.
Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang walked out of the alley and found a carriage. After they got in, the driver asked, "Where are you two ladies going?"
Ye Qingshuang had no idea where to go, and looked at Ling Yi upon hearing this.
Ling Yi said, "Go to the largest gambling den in Jinhai City."
"A gambling den?" Before the coachman could speak, Ye Qingshuang asked in surprise, "Ling Yi, what brings you to a gambling den?"
"Let's go have some fun," Ling Yi replied to Ye Qingshuang, then said to the coachman, "Let's go."
Upon hearing this, the driver moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say it directly, and his expression looked extremely conflicted.
Finally, the coachman said, "Ladies, please forgive my bluntness, but gambling dens are chaotic and full of all sorts of people. You two are beautiful, and you might suffer if you go to such a place."
Upon hearing this, Ling Yi's lips curled into a smile. If that were the case, it would be for the best, since she was originally there to cause trouble.
Seeing that the two men were determined to go without saying a word, the coachman didn't say anything more, cracked his whip on the horse, and made it run.
Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the gate of the Golden Sea Casino. The two paid and got out of the carriage, walking into the casino.
There were many guards outside the Jin Hai Casino. The guards were all highly skilled. When they saw Ling Yi and Ye Qing Shuang coming over, they sized them up but did not stop them.
Both his appearance and his clothes are good enough to afford gambling.
