In the following days, Qin Shilei kept the phantom patrolling within three thousand kilometers of Great Xia's waters.
He slew countless beasts of silver and gold, and once again, defeated a platinum one-star octopus, obtaining another golden treasure chest.
The silver eel, unable to further advance the lightning mark within Qin Shilei's body with its released lightning, was also slain.
Unsurprisingly, it also yielded a golden treasure chest.
As the days passed, the cultivation of the four individuals continued to improve at a rapid pace.
On the twentieth day of seclusion, An Qian's cultivation was the first to reach the peak of gold.
Qin Shilei took out a bottle of the Breakthrough Pill.
He poured out a pill that had been fixed with a double-effect attribute.
"An Qian, keep a calm mind. We have plenty of Enlightenment Tea, you'll definitely succeed in advancing to platinum."
An Qian took the Breakthrough Pill, raised her cup, and swallowed it in one gulp.
"Mm, I also believe I can definitely advance to the platinum realm."
With that, she turned and entered the adjacent secret chamber.
After adjusting her state, she then raised the Enlightenment Tea and drank it down.
Zhang Xiaoli and Kong Qingshu glanced at the secret chamber door, then returned to their respective cultivation rooms and resumed their practice.
Three days later, a powerful aura emanated from the secret chamber.
Not long after, the secret chamber door was opened from within, and An Qian walked out with a smile.
"You succeeded?"
"I succeeded!"
Qin Shilei stepped forward and gave An Qian a warm embrace.
[Perform Attribute Refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Housewife (Green): Highly skilled in household chores, cooking, and other domestic arts.
Eternal Youth (Purple): Until the moment of death, maintain the appearance and form of an eighteen-year-old.
Goddess of Fortune (Gold): Blessed by heaven, fortune value
[Perform Attribute Refresh?]
[Refresh.]
Qin Shilei tapped his finger, and the summoning token surprisingly emitted one white and two blue lights.
Was his luck today this poor?
Luck?
His gaze suddenly fell upon the Goddess of Fortune attribute radiating golden light on An Qian.
With a thought, he extracted the Goddess of Fortune and placed it in his favorites, then also extracted his Elementalization attribute into his favorites.
The favorites could now hold five attributes, perfectly accommodating his operations.
This would allow him to fix the Goddess of Fortune attribute onto himself once more.
[As the host is not female, the effect of the Goddess of Fortune attribute is reduced by ninety percent.]
As soon as he fixed the attribute, the system delivered an unexpected prompt.
???
Never mind, even ten percent of the effect was a significant improvement.
Qin Shilei refreshed the summoning token again.
Double Quantity (Purple): Can summon two phantom Fire Kirins simultaneously each time.
Double Duration (Purple): The duration of the Fire Kirin's existence is doubled.
Recharge (Orange): After the summoning token is used, it can slowly absorb energy to recover summoning counts.
Nice!
He had managed to turn the summoning token with only three uses into a limitless, top-tier item.
Qin Shilei then proceeded to refresh and fix an attribute of double power onto another sword talisman.
At this point, he possessed two sword talismans and one summoning token.
The sword talismans sealed his ultimate strike after breaking the heavens, capable of killing enemies at the peak of diamond-tier.
These three items would be given to the three women, one each.
An Qian ultimately chose the sword talisman with the fewest uses, Zhang Xiaoli chose the other sword talisman with three attacks, and the more practical summoning token was given to Kong Qingshu, who was the weakest.
Earth Soul Azure Lotus (Orange): A spiritual root of heaven and earth; its lotus seeds and flowers can purify and strengthen the soul.
The Earth Soul Azure Lotus obtained from the treasure chest was an over-one-meter-tall green lotus, with one bud about to bloom and two buds the size of a little finger.
Qin Shilei refreshed it several times without managing to obtain a top-tier attribute, so he had to temporarily plant this Earth Soul Azure Lotus in the Blessed Land.
Besides these three orange-tier items, the three golden treasure chests also yielded six purple-tier items.
These were a bottle of Heavenly Origin Pills, two bottles containing a total of six Spirit Replenishing Pills, a bottle of Spring Rejuvenation Pills, a set of female battle armor, and a Golden Light Talisman.
Spirit Replenishing Pill (Purple): Can rapidly restore mental energy.
Spring Rejuvenation Pill (Purple): A sacred healing medicine that can treat internal and external injuries.
Qin Shilei also refreshed and fixed attributes for all these items one by one before distributing them to the women.
Three more days passed, and Zhang Xiaoli also reached the peak of gold.
After consuming the Breakthrough Pill, she also entered the secret chamber to attempt her advancement.
Before she could emerge from the secret chamber, Kong Qingshu also reached the peak of gold two days later.
With the aid of the Breakthrough Pills and Enlightenment Tea, both women successfully advanced to the platinum realm without incident.
Qin Shilei also refreshed and fixed an orange-tier attribute onto both women.
Zhang Xiaoli's was:
Miraculous Healing (Orange): More easily comprehend healing-type abilities, and the power of healing abilities is tripled. Comes with the Art of Spring Rejuvenation.
Art of Spring Rejuvenation: A high-level recovery technique that can rapidly restore a target's vital energy and mental energy, with a cooldown of two hours.
Through testing, the Art of Spring Rejuvenation could restore Qin Shilei, whose vital energy was depleted, to his peak condition in less than a minute.
Kong Qingshu's was:
Daughter of Storms (Orange): The body can merge with various winds, and the power of wind-attribute battle skills and abilities is tripled.
Now that the three women had advanced to the platinum realm and obtained the excellent secret manual of the teleportation array, it was time to consider expanding their territory.
