Immortality Starts With Investment Chapter 672: Sunk Cost!

The vast ocean stretched out, empty and desolate. Having received abundant positive affirmations from Ye Chen, Luo Bingling found immense pleasure in his subjugation. With subtle shifts in her steps and variations in her rhythm, she elicited distinct responses from him. It was remarkably simple to control him, and the enjoyment she derived from it spurred her to devise even more intricate ploys. Every pleased expression that crossed his face only intensified her thrill, propelling her forward.

Ye Chen, accepting his fate, allowed her to have her way, viewing the journey as idle time. While her technique lacked the seasoned finesse of Su Yuxuan, it possessed its own unique allure. The pronounced curve of her larger foot arch provided a distinct aesthetic. Both approaches had their merits; neither was definitively superior.

The barely concealed disdain that sometimes flickered across her features, particularly when she performed purification rituals—her brow furrowed, her lips pressed together—created a striking juxtaposition, significantly amplifying Ye Chen's visual and psychological enjoyment.

The progression of their journey enhanced his overall experience. During each system cooldown period, he presented her with Dao Charm Pills. Although he possessed Extreme Dao Weapons, their value was far greater than the 4,000x feedback they elicited without a critical hit from her. Gifting them at that juncture would have been immensely wasteful, so he refrained. He ensured a steady stream of positive affirmations, occasionally feigning a flustered demeanor.

She had begun to decipher Ye Chen's patterns, recognizing that her previous haste had been counterproductive. Now, she adopted a more patient approach. She anticipated he would utilize the Yellow Spring Water to reach the Second Heaven of the Mahayana Realm. Her own plan was to employ the Minor Space Technique and a Space Divine Stone to establish her Cave Heaven, advancing to the Third Heaven. Subsequently, armed with additional treasures from the War God Clan, she intended to completely subdue him—reducing him to a state of drooling dependence, reverently offering up the Dao Cauldron.

Ye Chen responded by shaking his head. "I must first attend to some business at the Heavenly Intention Holy Land!"

The Yellow Spring Water was not intended for direct consumption; rather, he planned to gift it to elicit a critical hit. Her allotted portion was barely sufficient for a single prodigy. Considering the extraordinary nature of his body, soul, and domain, her amount would prove inadequate. Therefore, he had to bestow it upon someone else. His master had ceased triggering critical hits following his perceived
