"What about you?" Jiang Ye asked.
"Iāll rest for a while first," Chen Zilu replied, "Letās talk after a few days."
"Then for the next few days, Iāll stay with you, Senior Sister." Jiang Ye knew the reason for her God-Devouring Period, so of course, he couldnāt just leave like that.
If they encountered a top genius from the alien race again, Chen Ziluās condition would be very dangerous.
"Are you not even listening to me now?" Chen Zilu glared at him, feigning annoyance.
"Senior Sister."
"I know youāve been feeling uneasy lately." Jiang Ye said earnestly, "Iāll stay with you for these few days, and if you donāt want to see me then, Iāll leave immediately."
Chen Zilu was slightly taken aback.
She immediately seemed to recall something, "Did Zhao Yingluo tell you?"
"Yes."
"..."
Chen Zilu pouted slightly, her expression becoming somewhat unnatural, "Then, stay with me."
In fact, she didnāt want Jiang Ye to know about her condition.
After all, when she was young, everyone who learned about her strange illness avoided her.
Jiang Ye knew a little about Chen Ziluās thoughts.
"Senior Sister," Jiang Ye stepped forward with a smile, "For the next few days, Iāll protect you."
Chen Zilu gave him a glare and quickly flew forward.
Jiang Ye swiftly followed.
Suddenly.
[You have achieved a new accomplishment: Managed to anger the Martial Saint, then received forgiveness.]
[Title unlocked: Broken Mirror Reunited]
[Reward: Even broken mirrors can reunite. You gain the āRepairā ability, allowing you to restore damaged items to their original state. The stronger you are, the higher the rank of treasures you can repair. Cooldown time of one month.]
āā
[Your rapport with the Martial Saint has reached the āclose friendā standard!]
[Title unlocked: Close Friend (Martial Saint)]
[Reward: You gain the āMartial Saint Bondā. When she is with you, all attributes such as cultivation speed, combat strength, and luck are enhanced to a certain extent, and she will be influenced by the bond to a degree. The higher the Martial Saintās affection towards you, the stronger the enhancement youāll receive.]
āā
[You have unlocked a legendary level achievement!]
āā
"Broken Mirror Reunited?"
"Close Friend?" Jiang Ye was dumbfounded, "Legendary level achievement?!"
He didnāt expect that reconciling with Chen Zilu would instantly unlock two achievements.
The key point is!
These two achievements are actually legendary level!
The way the system described it, they are clearly extraordinary.
"Restoring damaged treasures to their original state? Cooldown time of one month." Jiang Ye felt shocked.
This ability is simply too exaggerated.
Imagine this.
If a priceless treasure is completely destroyed, tossed into the trash heap, and left as unwanted junk.
Then, Jiang Ye uses this ability to repair itāthat alone would be a huge profit!
"The stronger you are, the higher the rank of treasures you can repair?" Jiang Ye suddenly noticed this line: "It seems not all treasures can be repaired."
Right now, what level of treasures can he repair?
Jiang Ye wasnāt sure and could only wait for the opportunity to try it later.
"Martial Saint Bond?"
"Martial Saint refers to Chen Zilu." Jiang Ye mused aloud, "It seems that in the systemās classification, Fourth Break is equivalent to a Martial Saint."
"Get all attributes enhanced by being with Chen Zilu?"
Jiang Ye looked at the slender figure ahead.
It seems that he has no choice but to be with his Senior Sister now.
"Whoosh!" Jiang Ye moved and turned into a streak of flowing light, chasing after Chen Zilu.
...
Following Chen Zilu, Jiang Ye ventured deep into Black Flame Ridge.
Passing through the continuous mountain ranges, diving into hidden caves...
Ultimately, he arrived at a mysterious space.
"Where is this?" Jiang Ye asked, puzzled, looking around the pitch-black surroundings.
"The secret space of Black Flame Ridge."
"This is the core area of Black Flame Ridge," Chen Zilu explained, "and itās where Black Flame Ridgeās greatest benefits lie."
As she spoke.
"Buzz!"
A flash of light shimmered from her white wrist, transforming into several round, plump black lumps.
"Take these, Jiang Ye," Chen Zilu said.
"What are these?" Jiang Ye looked at the black lumps in her palm.
"These can help you increase the speed of your cultivation method," Chen Zilu said, "to help you reach the Third Break sooner."
"Senior Sister, keep them for yourself," Jiang Ye said with a smile, shaking his head, "I already have the Enlightenment Divine Jade."
He could already sense the mystical nature contained within those black lumps.
This sensation was very similar to the āThunder Essence Spirit Juiceā he had consumed before.
Evidently, although these black lumps appear unseemly, they must be extremely astonishing treasures, perhaps even an Upper B opportunity.
Chen Zilu, she had obtained these only through facing death in battles and fending off alien races.
Jiang Ye didnāt want to just take them away like that.
"Hurry up," Chen Zilu raised her brows, feigning anger, "You claim youāre going to protect me, yet you havenāt even reached the Third Break, how are you going to protect me?"
She stuffed the black lumps into Jiang Yeās hands.
"Break through the Third Break within three days."
"Otherwise, donāt stay here," Chen Zilu said with a humph.
"..."
Jiang Ye looked at the young woman helplessly.
Three days, thatās quite ambitious!
He was still 15% short in his True Divine Scripture, which would take at least half a month.
But Jiang Ye knew that Chen Zilu was just speaking in anger; she wouldnāt actually throw him out in three days.
"Fine, Iāll listen to you, Senior Sister," Jiang Ye chuckled, "Iāll strive to break through to the Third Break within three days!"
Chen Zilu snorted lightly, ignoring him.
She had indeed said that on purpose. Break through to the Third Break in three days? Thatās impossible!
The young woman walked to a distant spot.
"Swoosh~" Her battle armor retracted fluidly into her bracelet.
Chen Zilu, in a pure white long dress, like a cascading snow waterfall.
She sat cross-legged with some difficulty and glanced at her abdomen.
There, a blood wound was present, with blood gushing out, staining the white dress red.
