480: Chapter 66 Departure—Fengyin State_2 480: Chapter 66 Departure—Fengyin State_2 Xiao Jie was full of admiration; the Hunting Dog was a temporary Pet, so it couldn’t level up by leeching experience from its master—it had to rely on killing monsters to Upgrade, making it extremely difficult to train.

One careless move and it was gone.

“I Want to Be Immortal” lost several dogs back then.

Unexpectedly, at the very end, he managed to get one that wasn’t afraid to die.

“That baby looks pretty cool.

Does it deal a lot of damage?”

“Not too much, but its Skills are decent.

It has a ‘Soul Devouring’ skill that can deal damage to ghosts and a ‘Ghost Rebirth’ skill that lets it Resurrect on its own, as well as a ‘Void Walking’ skill that allows it to float in the sky.

It’s better than nothing, I guess.

Plus, activating this ‘Resurrected Wolf Spirit’ knocks off 50 points from my Life Value limit.

It’s pretty annoying.”

“I Want to Be Immortal” was clearly boasting though he complained.

Xiao Jie clicked on “I Want to Be Immortal’s” character avatar and sure enough, there was a DEBUFF.

Wolf Spirit Contract: You have signed a contract with the Resurrected Wolf Spirit, sharing life—Life Value limit reduced by 50 points.

Not bad; losing 50 points of Life Value limit is worth having an immortal Pet.

“Actually, I have some good news too,” said Xiao Jie, his voice indifferent.

“What good news?

Hey, Feng, how did you get to level 27?

Damn, something’s off with your health bar.

740 Life Value, even thicker than mine?” “I Want to Be Immortal” finally noticed Xiao Jie’s anomaly and cried out in shock.

Jumping four levels in one night was preposterous, and that Blood Volume was like a blood geyser for a level 27 player.

“That’s the good news I was about to share.

Last night I leveled up a few times doing quests, and the Qi Refining Technique rewarded me some attribute points…”

While they were speaking, Ye Luo’s voice came from outside the inn again.

“What are you so happy about?

Hey, where did this dog come from?” Ye Luo walked into the inn from outside and was surprised to see that Wolf Spirit.

Xiao Jie was also a bit surprised; Ye Luo had managed to get some new Equipment somehow.

Although her previous Dead Man’s Black Robe had a cool effect, its defensive power was very poor, and the attributes weren’t that great.

Now she’d switched into a tight black leather armor decorated with dark red patterning, looking incredibly cool.

“A newly made Blood Shadow Set, custom-ordered from a local Advanced Leatherworker, cost me 300 taels.

How’s it look?

Pretty nice, right?”

Xiao Jie thought to himself, typical woman…

asking if it looks good before the stats.

But it did look really cool.

“It looks very nice.

We were just discussing our gains these past couple of days.”

Xiao Jie briefly recounted the events of the previous night.

Ye Luo, equally shocked after hearing this, said, “So you’ve already reached the Seventh Level of Qi Refining Technique, and you’re about to Ascend to Immortality soon?”

“Not immediately, but Ascension is definitely in sight.

I’ll need more Demon Cores to refine Spiritual Energy, and I’ll also have to face Master Hongchen, this big boss.

It’s going to be a tough battle; I’m not sure whether to take the risk.”

Xiao Jie spoke helplessly, but it came from his heart.

After all, this was a death game.

His purposes for playing were to avenge Han Luo and, of course, to gain Strength.

With his power now, vengeance was within reach, and once he hit level 30 and became an Advanced Demon Refiner, Xiao Jie felt it was time to settle accounts with Liu Qiang.

As for gaining strength, his current strength had already surpassed ordinary people’s imaginations.

Should he risk his life to become Immortal?

Most importantly, it wasn’t just his own life at stake but many others’, as facing Master Hongchen meant he wouldn’t be risking it alone.

The thought of possibly causing countless deaths and possibly losing his own life made him feel uneasy.

“No, you’ve already decided; you will take the risk,” Ye Luo said with certainty.

“If you didn’t have the resolve, how would you have gotten to where you are today?

When you chose your path at the beginning and picked the Qi Refiner, you were already determined.

You’re only trying to find a justified reason, a reason to convince yourself to risk your life.

But why do you need a reason?

Isn’t the mere thought of Ascension to Immortality enough, or do you not have such ambition?”

Xiao Jie fell silent, a bit stunned; Ye Luo understood him so well.

Indeed, as she spoke those words, he realized he had long made up his mind.

For such power, for such a possibility, even at the risk of his life—so what!

“Hahaha, Ye Luo, I never expected you to understand me so well.”

“Hehe, you’re just too close to see it clearly, and besides, I would like to witness what it’s like to be an Immortal,” Ye Luo said, her voice suddenly serious.

“How long can your Spiritual Energy sustain this expenditure?”

“About ten days; in ten days, the surplus Spiritual Energy will be depleted, and it will start consuming my own.

After that, I’ll likely degrade in position in five days at most.

Once that happens, my Strength will weaken, and I’ll enter a downslide, so at most fifteen days.”

Ye Luo spoke gravely, “Fifteen days, then…

These are a critical fifteen days.

We must make the most of the time to help you achieve Ascension to Immortality within fifteen days.”

“I Want to Be Immortal” said excitedly, “Right, Feng, we’ll do everything we can to get you there.

Just tell me what I need to do.”

Xiao Jie was surprised by Ye Luo’s seriousness; she always seemed to maintain a casual and carefree demeanor around him, almost indifferent during boss fights and clearly hiding much but settling for mediocrity.
