As soon as she entered space, Turquoise Pool immediately felt the consumption rate of her "Ability" significantly increase.
Whether she transformed "Ability" into Mana or Divine Will, she could not stop this consumption.
After paying attention for a while, she found this consumption completely acceptable for her.
If it were a Third Level Human Immortal, just staying in space would cause heartache over the "Ability" consumption, not to mention the additional expenditure for collecting Qi brilliance.
Not all Third Level Human Immortals were so fragile; Turquoise Pool had a premonition that those coming from Earth might be stronger than many of the "Human Immortal Level Divine Will Warriors" of the Divine Will Great Wall.
After all, the Supreme Immortal of Earth was Li Changzhou, wasn't it?
Those who passed the Third Level Human Tribulation on Earth, based solely on strength, could be Second or even First Level on other planets.
Flying to Li Changzhou's side, he had already shed the red glow by this time. The collected red brilliance clustered in front of him, compressing bit by bit.
Turquoise Pool tossed out the Princess, walked in, and with the cosmic spaceship in place, the consumption from radiation resistance stopped.
She attempted to collect the Qi brilliance but realized she couldn't sense it at all unless she stepped out of the spaceship.
Did the spaceship block the radiation and, at the same time, keep the Qi brilliance outside, or was the Qi brilliance only reactive when in direct contact with a Human Immortal?
Turquoise Pool was unclear.
The so-called Human Immortal was actually just an individual who had reached the human limit in a certain aspect; they were neither omniscient nor omnipotent. There were still a vast sea of things they didn't understand or couldn't clarify.
Shrinking the Princess, Turquoise Pool smiled and sat beside Li Changzhou.
Sitting cross-legged, her left elbow propped on her left knee, the palm of her left hand supporting her cheek, head tilted, she stared at Li Changzhou with a beaming smile.
She wore a white suit with a light silk shirt underneath. The hem of the shirt was tucked into her trousers, highlighting her slender waist.
Her gaze was tender yet teasing, her lips rosy, her snow-white hair elegantly and loosely tied behind her head, with earrings adorning her ears, exuding a delicate and luxurious charm.
She stared straight at Li Changzhou.
"..." Li Changzhou opened his eyes and glanced at her.
With a gesture, he smashed a satellite that had been staring at him into dust, and the powder outlined words.
[If you have nothing better to do, go cultivate in the Honey Pot World.]
Turquoise Pool tapped the powder, which moved like a fish, rearranging itself.
[Very rigorous.]
[As your wife, it's appropriate for me to address you as my husband, it's not being too rigorous.]
[I meant that you are actually using punctuation marks.]
Turquoise Pool happily laughed and turned the powder into a big [!].
Then, the '!' changed into [I have something to tell you; shall we go chat on the bed, no, on the spaceship?]
[I don't care about anything right now,] Li Changzhou scattered the powder again, closing his eyes to continue Qi Collection.
Turquoise Pool's lips approached Li Changzhou's ear and she breathed out a puff of warm air: "Hmph!"
His ear tickled a bit, but Li Changzhou remained unmoved.
Turquoise Pool didn't continue. She could do anything in the Forbidden City of the Ming Dynasty, but now in space, even though satellites occasionally snapped pictures, she wasn't bold enough to tease a man in front of the whole world.
She too closed her eyes and began Qi Collection.
A part of the brilliance turned into Mana to replenish what she used to resist radiation and collect Qi brilliance, only the remainder could be saved.
Turquoise Pool hadn't decided whether to condense 'Constant Sand' or use an object as her region. If the object was chosen well, there was no distinction in quality between the two methods; an extremely good object could make the second method even superior.
Li Changzhou had an S-level 'Honey Pot World,' and it was an S-level object that had grown once (during Physical Enhancement), and it was a world-type object, which could be considered a perfect 'region seed.'
With him as an example, Turquoise Pool naturally wished to choose a better object for herself, but let alone a world-type object, even S-level objects were hard to come by.
Yang Qinglan did have an S-level 'Jade Cauldron,' which would be an excellent choice for a 'region seed.'... With this thought, Turquoise Pool was even less willing to settle.
While collecting Qi brilliance, Turquoise Pool contemplated her future.
Because of Turquoise Pool's participation, Li Changzhou clearly felt the speed of Qi brilliance depletion quicken, which was about what he had estimated – Earth could only support six Human Immortals of his and Turquoise Pool's caliber.
If they were all Third or Second Level Human Immortals, it could probably support around a hundred.
The two silently floated in the cosmos, quietly collecting Qi, Turquoise Pool pondering her future, Li Changzhou contemplating the Daoist laws within the Fragrant Leaf Crown.
A day passed, Li Changzhou condensed two red Qi brilliances, Turquoise Pool only got half a piece.
Li Changzhou calculated that if he had also needed to use "Ability" to resist radiation, it would be about one piece per day.
For a Second Level Human Immortal, it would be a small piece the size of a fingernail in a day, and for a Third Level, it might be only that much in a month.
This was still on the Qi-rich Earth, but on the Moon, a Third Level Human Immortal might need one or two years to save up that much.
In the Honey Pot World, after hearing Li Changzhou's research conclusions, Li Qianxia tossed the two red Qi brilliances in her hand and asked him, "How much did you give to Itheri and the others again?"
"...Eighty pieces?" Li Changzhou hadn't opened them so wouldn't know.
"Eighty pieces, and you manage two a day without food or water, which is sixty in a month of thirty days, let's assume eighty, but a year only has twelve months —"
Li Qianxia clenched the Qi brilliance in her hand as if crushing a walnut, her eyes fixed on Li Changzhou: "— for a flying car for another woman, you've effectively given away one twelfth of your annual income."
"..."
Yang Qinglan laughed and said, "Money depends on how you spend it. Some is investment, some is consumption, some is waste, but your brother's spending counts as an investment, forgive him."
