Chapter 242: Chapter 241: Spiritual Meridians Fully Opened

Wu Zhongchao frowned slightly and said, "The Secret Technique for the Sun and Moon Scripture’s advancement to Spirit Saint is located in the Star Sacred Land of the Black Tortoise Realm. It is inscribed upon the Sun and Moon Holy Stele, so it cannot be copied or described verbally. I have no way of obtaining it. How about you make a different request?"

Shu Feng asked, "Then can I keep this request on hold?"

"Absolutely not! I hate owing people favors. The Sun and Moon Scripture is a treasure of the Star Sacred Land. In half a year, the Holy Land will open its gates to recruit disciples. I will arrange a flawless identity for you to go to the Star Sacred Land and take their test. Whether you can join or not will depend on your own abilities."

"As long as you become a True Disciple of the Star Sacred Land, you’ll have a chance to go to the Sun and Moon Holy Stele and obtain the Secret Technique to advance to Spirit Saint."

"Before then, I will tell you a secret, one far more precious than the Profound Spirit Red Jade Grass you gave me."

"Your combat power is already comparable to a Spirit Sect! You have territory and merits, which qualifies you to become a noble of our Qianyuan Republic. In seven days, go to the Congress and register. You will then be the Patriarch of a Ninth-Grade Noble Family of the Qianyuan Republic."

"Drip a drop of your blood onto this gemstone, and then you can go."

Wu Zhongchao took out a black stone and placed it in front of Shu Feng.

Shu Feng cut his finger and let a drop of his blood fall onto the black stone.

Wu Zhongchao said, "Shu Feng, blood holds a very special status in the Magic Domain. Some special curses use human blood as a medium. When you go to the Gulondo World in the future, be careful. Never give your blood to anyone."

Shu Feng replied, "Yes!"

With that, Wu Zhongchao waved his hand, dismissing Shu Feng.

After leaving the All Saints Palace, Shu Feng was taken to a luxury villa within Flame Dragon Manor, one used to accommodate guests from Shuijing High School.

Shui Lingyan and Wu Yuexia returned to their respective teams to carry out other missions.

「That evening, inside the Base Space.」

’The rewards from this trip to the Void Demon Hunting Ground are incredible!’

Shu Feng looked at the base’s resource list, a satisfied smile touching his lips.

On the resource list, his Source Energy had reached a staggering 180,000.

’The Star Sacred Land is filled with geniuses. If I want to become a True Disciple there, I have to be a genius among geniuses. To do that, I must find a way to open all of my Spirit Veins.’

Shu Feng sat cross-legged inside the Energy Evolution Tower and gave a direct command, "Open all of my Spirit Veins!"

A prompt appeared from the Central Analyzer: "Opening all remaining Spirit Veins requires 150,000 Primordial Source Energy. Do you wish to proceed?"

Shu Feng’s eyelid twitched. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes!"

Pipes extended from the Energy Evolution Tower, spraying a massive amount of viscous fluid that enveloped Shu Feng, forming a large black egg.

Vast, seemingly endless waves of Spiritual Power surged frantically into Shu Feng’s body, rapidly opening one Spirit Vein after another.

「Five days later.」

CRACK!

The large black egg surrounding Shu Feng cracked open. He slowly walked out, his eyes shining with a brilliant light and his aura now Extraordinary. With a thought, a series of data appeared before him.

"Shu Feng"

"Opened 365 Spiritual Meridians!"

"Power: 298 (+50), Agility: 251 (+50), Defense: 365 (+50), Constitution: 330 (+50), Intelligence: 335 (+50), Spirit: 380 (+50), Magic Power: 3,000,000 (+1,000,000), Fighting Spirit: 0, Badge Power: 1,320,000."

"Charm: 325 (+100), Spiritual Power: 3,000,000 (+1,000,000), High-level Soul Power: 3 units."

A smile touched Shu Feng’s lips as he looked at his stat panel. "My physical attributes are now on par with Spirit Warriors at the Spirit Sect Realm who use Spiritual Power Enhancement!"

A flash of excitement crossed Shu Feng’s eyes. "All 365 Spiritual Meridians are open! Even without using the power of the Energy Evolution Tower, I can still cultivate to the Spirit Sect Realm within half a year!"

On Blue Star, even the most talented geniuses only reached the rank of Great Spirit Master while in high school.

If Shu Feng reached the Spirit Sect Realm within half a year, the revelation of his cultivation speed would cause an enormous uproar.

「Two days later, Azure Dragon Spirit City Congress Building.」

"Hello, how may I help you?"

As soon as Shu Feng stepped into the Congress Building, an exceptionally beautiful receptionist with an oval face greeted him with a warm smile.

Shu Feng said, "I’m Shu Feng. I’m here today to register a Noble Family. The Yuanhai Shu Family, a Ninth-Grade Noble Family. I am the Patriarch of the Shu Family."

’A Noble Family Head! Such a young Noble Family Head!’

A round-faced receptionist standing nearby, who wore a polite, practiced smile, stared at Shu Feng with a look of shock in her eyes. Being a receptionist at the Congress Building, she was no ordinary person and was privy to many secrets. The heads of Noble Families were almost all middle-aged or white-haired old men. For Shu Feng, who looked to be less than twenty, to already be a Noble Family Head was simply unbelievable.

The oval-faced receptionist smiled. "Please present your identification card!"

Shu Feng handed it over.

BEEP!

The oval-faced receptionist swiped the card on a special device. After confirming his identity, she respectfully handed it back to Shu Feng and said, "It’s all set! The Yuanhai Shu Family has been registered. Your family crest will be mailed to you within thirty business days. I wish you great fortune on your martial path, great founder of a Noble Family!"

Shu Feng gave a slight nod, then turned and strode away.

The moment Shu Feng left, the cute, round-faced girl eagerly asked, "Yingying, was he really the founder of a Noble Family? How old is he?"

Yingying replied, "He’s only seventeen!"

The round-faced girl looked regretful. "Founding a Noble Family at seventeen... that’s insane! He’s a prime catch, but what a shame! I don’t stand a chance."

At the Lei Jiang City high-speed rail station, Shu Feng stepped off a train. He watched the dense crowd pouring out and smiled. "It’s almost the New Year."

The Qianyuan Republic had a custom of celebrating the Spring Festival, and with the end of the year approaching, Shu Feng had returned directly from Azure Dragon Spirit City to Lei Jiang City.

Suddenly, his phone rang. Shu Feng frowned slightly as he answered it. Listening to the voice on the other end, his expression darkened, and he let out a cold snort. "Just as I thought. People will do anything for money."

The Youyun Club was the most exclusive club in Lei Jiang City. Its annual membership fee was a steep 180,000, and only tycoons with assets over a hundred million, A-list celebrities, and high-ranking city officials were qualified to enter.
