Chapter 873: 873 - Ready
After spending some quality time with Lingxi and introducing Akane to his other wives, Qingyi finally left the mind world, returning to Akane’s pavilion hidden deep within the cave.
The place had been a residence prepared by one of the alliance’s elders—a man who was, in truth, a loyalist demon who had been infiltrating their ranks for countless years.
With Akane’s arrival at the alliance, she had needed a safe place to cultivate, and that secluded cave had been the perfect choice.
Now, however, with her settled in the world of the mind—a far more reliable place with an absurdly higher density of Qi—the cave had lost all its usefulness.
Qingyi walked out of the pavilion, casting one last glance over his shoulder.
A hint of pain flickered in his eyes as he soared into the heavens, extending his hand downward.
A ball of flaming Qi materialized between his fingers, crackling with devastating heat that made the very air around it warp and ripple.
With a subtle flick of his wrist, the sphere plummeted onto the pavilion and detonated in a terrifying explosion, shaking the entire cave to its very core.
Rocks and shattered structures collapsed with a deafening roar all around him. Qingyi shot skyward, letting the earth swallow every last trace of the site.
He took no pleasure in destroying something so beautiful, but, in the end, it was the most sensible course of action.
The chances of anyone passing by were slim, but not nonexistent. All it would take was for someone to detect the remnants of Akane’s Qi and make the discovery public for it to spiral into a massive headache.
Leaving the cave’s rubble behind, Qingyi soared through the skies back to the main palace of the Celestial Martial Orthodox Alliance.
As always, no sooner had he set foot inside than a swarm of high-ranking elders surrounded him.
They all wanted to exchange a few words with him, and several went so far as to shamelessly offer their daughters and granddaughters as wives.
Qingyi ignored every offer, greeting them briefly and stepping away respectfully, always with the same excuse: he needed to cultivate.
When he finally managed to shake off those perverted old men and women, Qingyi entered an isolated cultivation chamber, locking the doors behind him.
A soft sigh escaped his lips as he opened the spatial ring on his finger.
From within, he retrieved a total of five hundred pills, arranging them in perfect rows before him.
These were the highest-quality affinity-boosting pills the system had to offer.
Each was capable of raising his affinity by anywhere between one thousand and five thousand points, and each cost a small fortune in G Lust Points.
Of course, after meeting Akane, that price had become practically irrelevant.
What would once have required months, perhaps even years of effort spread across all his wives was now nothing more than a small expense.
Qingyi picked up the first pill, popped it into his mouth, and swallowed it without hesitation.
With his eyes closed, he began to circulate his own Qi, guiding every particle of the pill through his meridians and ensuring he would absorb every last drop of its benefits.
[Your spatial affinity has increased by 3,623 points!]
His lips curved into a satisfied smile, and without wasting a second, he was already swallowing the next one.
Right after the second pill came the third, then the fourth, the fifth...
The number of pills before him dwindled at a visible pace.
Normally, that kind of unrestrained consumption would be considered utter madness.
Pills almost always contained a certain level of impurities, and swallowing so many at once could inflict irreparable damage on any cultivator’s body.
That danger was relevant, but only to a certain extent.
Qingyi’s current bloodline was so absurdly powerful that, for him, such a risk simply didn’t exist.
No level of impurity could harm his body, and his draconic Qi filtered everything that entered his system with absolute perfection.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that even if he ate and drank nothing but pure poison, his body would barely register the effects.
Quite the contrary, he would likely even gain some cultivation benefits from it, since high-level poisons were rich in Qi.
And so, in less than an hour, Qingyi had swallowed all five hundred pills.
By the time he was finished, exhaustion had settled deep into him.
He had expended an absurd amount of Qi to perfectly digest and absorb every drop of the benefits from those pills.
Sweaty and panting, he slumped backward, chest rising and falling heavily as his eyes naturally drifted to the floating status screen.

"This is..." Qingyi had to hold himself back with every ounce of willpower to keep from letting out a cry of excitement.
Slowly, he circulated his spatial Qi through his body, and his eyes widened instantly.
"Ah... isn’t this a bit too much?" Qingyi shot to his feet, disbelief written all over his face.
The system had already warned him that the difference in affinities after crossing one million points was enormous, but this went beyond any expectation.
His spatial Qi was, at the very least, a hundred times denser and more responsive—even though his affinity had only tripled!
He carried a small token with him—an item that allowed him to freely pass through the alliance’s countless spatial barriers without being stopped.
With a slight wave, Qingyi deactivated the token and then channeled his spatial Qi.
Those barriers—woven by the most powerful experts of the past, which he had previously dared to cross only after extensive preparation—simply dissolved before him.
It was as if they weren’t even capable of detecting him. Qingyi’s body slipped through them with such perfection and speed that no alarm, no echo of Qi, betrayed his passage.
When he emerged outside the palace, his breathing was rapid, and his face glowed with pure excitement.
He was ready to rescue Ruxue’s master!
