You said mechs were going to fight monsters, but instead you're destroying stars with your bare

Chapter 215 Collection

When Li Zhe passed through those natural magic arrays, he found the entrance to the secret chamber hidden beneath the alchemy furnace.

Shangguan Wan'er's beautiful eyes were filled with disbelief and shock.

"How...how did you know about this place?"

"It's a long story." Li Zhe didn't explain further, but simply gestured for her to go inside first.

Inside the secret room, it still retained that "ancient style".

The massive teleportation array in the center was still slowly operating.

It emits faint spatial energy fluctuations.

Beside the magic circle, there were also some "natural treasures" that looked like something out of science fiction.

Shangguan Wan'er stared in disbelief at the "Void Crystals" that shimmered with data, feeling the pure power of rules that was completely out of step with this world.

She felt that her worldview had been shaken like never before.

"Where exactly is this place?"

“A place where we can catch our breath for a while.” Li Zhe’s answer was as concise as ever.

He walked to a corner of the secret room and sat down cross-legged.

Try to guide the rich spiritual energy around you to repair your own muscle and armor energy.

Shangguan Wan'er's curiosity reached its peak as she looked at his oblivious demeanor.

But she also knew very well that now was not the time to press for answers.

She also found a place to sit down.

He took out a healing pill that emitted a sweet fragrance from his bosom.

He swallowed it and began to regulate his breathing and heal his injuries.

Inside the secret room, all was quiet.

Only the steady, long breaths of the two people and the slight hum of the teleportation array echoed slowly in the empty space.

Time passed by minute by minute.

After an unknown amount of time, Shangguan Wan'er was the first to open her eyes.

With the help of the elixir, her injuries have almost completely healed.

A touch of color returned to her pale face.

She turned her gaze to Li Zhe, who was not far away, but found that he still had that calm and composed expression.

His aura didn't seem to have changed much.

"Young master..." she couldn't help but speak, her voice tinged with worry, "your injury..."

"It's nothing." Li Zhe opened his eyes and shook his head. "My body is a bit special, so my recovery is slower."

Although he absorbed a lot of spiritual energy, this was a mixed and chaotic energy of heaven and earth.

Compared to the highly purified and compressed muscle energy, it's like the difference between tap water and distilled water.

Transforming them into a power that one can use requires an extremely long and complex process.

"This can't go on," Li Zhe thought to himself. "I have to find a way to get a higher quality energy source."

In this world of cultivation, the highest quality energy source is none other than...

Spirit stones, and...

A cultivator's Golden Core or Nascent Soul.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Li Zhe's eyes.

Just then, Shangguan Wan'er's voice rang out again, interrupting his thoughts.

“Young master, I am deeply grateful.” She stood up and bowed deeply to Li Zhe. “Wan’er has a request, and I hope that you will grant it.”

"You said."

"I wish to... ask you, young master, to come out of seclusion and help my Misty Cloud Sect to regroup and fight against the demonic path!"

Her voice was full of sincerity and expectation.

"Now the demonic path is powerful, and the righteous path is in grave danger."

"Although my Misty Cloud Sect has suffered heavy losses, its lineage has not been extinguished."

"Several hundred disciples are still wandering outside, barely surviving."

"If we can regroup, we might still have the power to fight against the demonic path!"

“And you, young master…” She looked at Li Zhe, her beautiful eyes sparkling with an unusual light, “You possess strength and wisdom far beyond ordinary people. If we can get your help, we… will surely be able to restore our sect and revive the glory of the righteous path!”

These words were spoken with great passion and righteous indignation. However, after listening, Li Zhe simply asked a question in return.

"What's in it for me?"

"Uh……"

Shangguan Wan'er was taken aback by his overly "pragmatic" question.

A hint of embarrassment instantly appeared on that pretty face that had been full of enthusiasm.

She never expected that the other party would act so unpredictably.

"Um..." she stammered, "If we can restore our sect, Wan'er... Wan'er is willing to give you all the sect's treasured cultivation techniques, spirit stones, and magic treasures to repay your great kindness!"

“Not enough.” Li Zhe shook his head, his tone as calm as if he were discussing a business deal. “These things don’t appeal to me.”

"Then... what does Young Master want?" Shangguan Wan'er's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

She couldn't think of anything else that could move this mysterious man in front of her.

Looking at her pitiful appearance, Li Zhe's lips curled into a playful smile.

He stood up and slowly walked to her.

He reached out and gently lifted her smooth chin.

Under the gaze of those eyes, filled with shock and shyness, as clear as autumn water, he slowly bent down.

He whispered in her ear in a magnetic yet undeniably domineering tone:
"What I want is very simple."

"I want you."

……

Shangguan Wan'er's brain completely shut down at that moment.

She stood there, stunned.

Feeling the slightly cool touch coming from the other person's fingertips.

And the warm, masculine breath beside my ear.

Her pretty face turned bright red almost instantly.

This was the first time in her life that she had such close contact with a man.

This is the first time I've ever heard of something like this...

A bold and straightforward "confession"?!

"you you……"

She pointed at Li Zhe and stammered "you" for a long time, but couldn't utter a single word.

A tremendous storm raged in my heart.

Shyness, anger, panic, and...

A strange flutter that she herself hadn't even noticed.

Looking at her adorable expression of both embarrassment and annoyance, Li Zhe couldn't help but find it amusing.

He released his grip, took half a step back, and increased the distance between them.

"Just kidding."

He shrugged and gave a harmless smile.

"I have no interest in your fighting and killing."

"I am just a...passing traveler."

With that, he turned and prepared to leave the secret room.

He was indeed somewhat attracted to Shangguan Wan'er's beauty.

However, he was also well aware that his current situation was not suitable for getting involved in such a complex sect struggle.

The most urgent task is to recover our strength as soon as possible and then find our way home.

As for things like "reviving the righteous path" and "fighting against the demonic path"...

None of my business?

However, just as he was about to step out of the secret room...

A voice full of determination and resolve suddenly rang out from behind him.

"I promise you!"
