However, when his words fell, there was no response for a long time.

"Hey, say something!" Qin Qi said, perplexed.

Still no answer.

Seeing this, Qin Qi couldn't help but step forward and touch the snowy peaks of the statue, tapping the skirt underneath it.

As a result, there was still no response, but a chilling feeling enveloped Qin Qi completely, making him shiver all over.

"Sigh, if you don't want to talk, that's fine, but why are you angry?" Qin Qi quickly said with a cheeky smile.

After he spoke, he roughly understood what was going on.

At this point, if the statue doesn't respond, there is only one possibility, she can't respond.

"Could it be that we can only communicate in dreams?" Qin Qi squinted his eyes.

With this thought, he looked at the statue, "If I can only communicate with you in dreams, then take back that eerie and horrifying feeling!"

It took only a moment.

That eerie feeling indeed vanished.

Hearing this, Qin Qi knew what was happening and immediately leaned against the wall and closed his eyes.

For a martial artist like him, sleeping wasn't really difficult. In the blink of an eye, he completely entered a state of sleep.

Just as he thought!

In the dream.

His world had an additional woman.

The woman's face was identical to the one on the statue, except today, she wasn't wearing any clothes, standing completely naked in the dream.

Qin Qi was taken aback.

The statue woman, Duan Meng, was similarly surprised.

She bit her silver teeth and reprimanded, "Why aren't you giving me clothes to wear!"

Qin Qi coughed lightly, "Ah, sorry. When I touched you earlier, my mind was full of the image of you not wearing clothes. Who knew that in the dream, you wouldn't be wearing clothes."

This is so-called thinking during the day, dreaming at night.

Whatever he thought about, Duan Meng in the dream appeared just like that.

Duan Meng forcibly suppressed her anger, a low voice emanating, "So young, what on earth do you think about every day? Can you think of nothing besides women?"

"It's because I'm young that all I can think about is women!" Qin Qi didn't hesitate at all, "I can't suppress my fiery energy, if I don't think about women, what else should I think about!"

Duan Meng was at a loss for words.

Because she really couldn't argue against Qin Qi.

Seeing Duan Meng not responding, Qin Qi suddenly asked with interest, "Hey, tell me. Being stuck in the statue for so long, didn't you sometimes think about such things?"

Duan Meng coldly replied, "I've been devoted to cultivation for years, without concerning myself with worldly affairs, with a heart as steadfast as a boulder. How could I think about such things!"

Qin Qi stroked his chin, speaking to himself, "Then, if something happened between us in the dream, wouldn't it be like you also having a spring dream? Maybe it could help quench your thirst a little?"

Duan Meng cursed, "I've already said, I'm not interested in such matters, not interested! Do you not understand? Also, hurry up and put some clothes on me!"

Qin Qi could only comply, dressing her, then grumbled, "Hey, I'm here to help you, could you be a bit gentler?"

Duan Meng spoke expressionlessly, "Our deal was a fair trade from the start. I help you become a True Man, you help me escape. Why should I be gentle with you? Enough with the idle chat. Do you want to become a True Man or not?"

Qin Qi, tired of teasing, became serious, "Of course I do, but before that, I have a question for you!"

"Speak!" Duan Meng's tone remained stern and superior.

Qin Qi asked, confused, "How did you end up being trapped here?"

"What good would it do you to know?" Duan Meng looked at him with a cold glance, asking quietly.

Qin Qi shrugged, "In case you're some evil overlord imprisoned here by a powerful figure, and I accidentally release you, wouldn't that cause disaster?"

Duan Meng rolled her eyes at Qin Qi.

Every movement of hers was captivating.

She sneered, "Do you think this is a novel? Do you want to cooperate or not?"

Realizing she had no intention of answering his question, Qin Qi felt somewhat curious.

But at this point, he had no choice but to respond, "Cooperate, of course, I'll cooperate. Now tell me, how can I break through to become a True Man?"

Duan Meng looked at Qin Qi, "Your physique has improved, you're just one step away from breaking through to become a True Man. Your talent is remarkable; you've made another breakthrough in such a short time."

"So, the possibility of breaking through has increased. Tell me, what do you think is the most crucial part of becoming a True Man?"

Qin Qi said, "Naturally it's the external release of True Qi."

"Wrong, the most crucial part is condensing True Qi first. If you can't even condense True Qi, how will you release it externally?" Duan Meng said icily.

Qin Qi understood this, "But condensing True Qi isn't an easy task!"

Duan Meng spoke with superiority, "That's because the place where you live has thin air essence, making it extraordinarily difficult to condense True Qi initially!"

"However, it's different here beneath this dry well!"

Qin Qi was stunned, "You mean..."

Duan Meng explained slowly, "Have you not noticed that beneath this dry well, the air essence is extremely rich; just by staying here, it gives you a sense of refreshment and serenity?"

With Duan Meng's words, Qin Qi began to feel this faintly.

Only the last time he came, he was so scared by her that he overlooked it.

Now thinking carefully, he couldn't help but say, "Is the air essence denser here than outside?"

"The thin air essence outside is due to increased population density. Here naturally has a pool of water, and nobody comes here for years. Over time, do you think the air essence wouldn't be dense?"

Duan Meng detailedly explained, "Next, I'll use all the power I can muster to gather all the air essence around the ancient temple and the pool to your vicinity."

"If you still can't manage to condense True Qi with this essence, you won't have a chance to reach the breakthrough to being a True Man for three to five years!"

After her words, Duan Meng's figure dissipated.

And Qin Qi, gradually woke from the dream.

He took a deep breath, his expression becoming serious.

Because just as Duan Meng said, every breath of air in the ancient temple made him feel unprecedentedly clear-headed.

This indeed was, as she said, the best place for him to break through and become a True Man!

"It's time!" His eyes lit up.

A gust of wind blew.

Duan Meng took action.

A large amount of air essence surged toward him from all around!
