116 Comfortable (1/2)

After dinner, Celine told Ivan that she would now be able to transfer some Spiritual Qi.

”So how are we doing this?”

”Nothing special. Just sit down and let me do the job. You only have to accept the Spiritual Qi and rotate it through your body, so it can interact with your blood. This should then reduce the discomfort you feel.”

Ivan followed her directions and sat down in front of her.

”Pull up your shirt. We need to have direct skin to skin contact.”, Celine directed him.

Without hesitation, Ivan directly removed his shirt, revealing his muscular body. Neither of them felt shy. After all, both of them were used to fighting and in such situations, there was always a chance that one's clothes would get ripped, or even completely destroyed. Being conscious of showing skin, would only lead to one's death during such times.

Celine pressed her hands on his back. When they came into contact with his skin, Ivan could feel some kind of energy seeping into him. This should be the Spiritual Qi. He didn't yet take the time to check it out further, but instead started to move it through his body.

As the Spiritual Qi flowed through his body, it gave him a very comfortable cool feeling. It was as if something that had always heated him up, had finally cooled down, removing a pain he hadn't really felt consciously anymore.

When the stream of Spiritual Qi ended, he felt disappointed. Although in the end, it hadn't changed as much as at the start, it still felt very comfortable to him.

”How does it feel?”, the tired voice of Celine pulled him out of his reminiscence.

”Much better. Thank you.”

”No need to thank you. I gained a lot from you too.”, which was the truth. Ivan's Vital Qi had been even more effective than she could have ever hoped. His bloodline had to be highly ranked since it was able to produce such pure Vital Qi at its low level.

”Do you have a quest for reducing the flare-ups?”, Celine then continued on with a question.

Ivan wasn't surprised that she was able to guess the existence of the quest. In his opinion, she should have seen his situation before. He too was interested in how the counter had changed, so he pulled up the description and shared it with her.

<< Quest: Curbing the flareups (Grade F) (Repeated)

While the bloodline 'Spiritual Chaos Dragon God (Unstable)' is unstable, it requires a certain intake of Spiritual Qi to temporarily stabilize it and stop it from flaring up. The flareups of the bloodline result in a high amount of pain as well as damage to the arteries and nerves. So it is highly recommended to fulfill this quest.

Currently Absorbed Spiritual Qi: 25/100

Time Limit: 10d

Tip: Spiritual Qi can be absorbed, if someone else injects his or her Spiritual Qi into you (requires. Earth Realm) or through the use of the skill 'Qi Exchange', which can now be bought from the Honor Shop.

”Looks like this was able to only provide you with 25 percent of the required Spiritual Qi, but there is enough time left. I should be able to provide you with just as much every two days if you provide me with essence blood beforehand.”

Hearing this Ivan felt happy. Doing it this way was much better than the other method. Although other young men at his age would maybe be very happy, to have the excuse to collect and sleep with many good looking women, he felt different.

To him, it was more important to have someone whom he could connect with. Not only in a sexual but also a mental way. Although he would still go through with taking these concubines Lara had already accepted, he really didn't want to have even more. As such Celine and her ritual were heavens sent for him.

”The 'Strengthening Pills' are from the Honor Shop?”, Celine then asked a seemingly unrelated question.
