The herb retreated instantly, trying to dodge the ferocious attack.
    "Myriad Thunder Shield."
    Five strands of lightning formed a shield-shaped design in front of the herb, a silhouette of a plant appearing in its center.
    "You shameless thing! But this won’t work!" Qin Yi sneered.
    His platinum-gold lightning fist struck the Myriad Thunder Shield, his arm muscles bulging, a powerful force hitting the shield.
    Cracks began to form on the Myriad Thunder Shield. The herb realized it had to give in, or it would suffer significant loss.
    "Please, Big Brother, I was just kidding! I'll just take 1/3 of the spiritual energy, okay?" The herb pleaded, like a child who had done wrong.
    Qin Yi rolled his eyes. "Fine, how much?"
    The herb shivered under Qin Yi's sharp gaze. "1/3... 1/3 will do."
    "That's more like it!"
    Returning to his meditation, Qin Yi resumed absorbing the spiritual energy.
    Suddenly, the black bell spoke.
    "Boy, I'll give you a choice."
    "Please, enlighten me," Qin Yi responded, opening his eyes to listen carefully to Wandering Life.
    "Choice one is to directly use the spiritual energy infusion to raise your cultivation to at least the eighth level of the Spirit Body Realm, potentially breaking through to the ninth. Choice two is to use my life essence spiritual energy to temper your body, with a 30% chance of achieving the Golden Tower Constitution, though it offers little immediate benefit to your cultivation."
    Wandering Life's two options were both highly beneficial but mutually exclusive for Qin Yi.
    Deep in thought, he weighed the pros and cons, seeking the best option for himself.
    "I've decided!" Qin Yi’s eyes sparkled with determination, smiling as he addressed the black bell.
    "What is your choice?" Wandering Life asked.
    "I choose the second option. The path to true power is fraught with hardship. To become strong, sacrifices must be made. I’m willing to take the risk!" Qin Yi declared excitedly.
    "What about me?" The herb interrupted anxiously, afraid of missing out.
    "My life essence spiritual energy will purify your lightning, making it more potent. You will benefit too," Wandering Life reassured, smiling.
    Consoling the herb, Wandering Life prepared to proceed.
    "Alright, boy, let's give it our all!"
    The patterns on the black bell illuminated, casting a golden light that made it shine distinctly.
    "Whoosh~"
    A golden light beam descended upon Qin Yi, seeping into his body.
    "Ah!"
    Qin Yi screamed in pain, his meridians feeling like they were being torn apart by the sharp light.
    The pain far surpassed ordinary comprehension, as if his body was being ripped apart, yet he continued forming seals, chanting "Qi Ling Method."
