The Contribution Hall was a magnificent edifice, a sprawling, boundless complex of palaces.

TAP! TAP!

Following Elder Chang’s lead, he walked down a corridor wide enough for two or three horse-drawn carriages to travel abreast. Though night had fallen, rows of bright lamps illuminated the hallway as if it were day.

Clad in his Battle Armor, Qin Feng resembled a silent Killing God.

Ahead of him, Elder Chang moved like a phantom.

Before long, they arrived in a magnificent hall.

It was an exceptionally spacious hall, its decor both dignified and elegant. Within, several elders were entertaining some distinguished guests.

Hearing footsteps from the corridor, many people looked over in surprise. Their gazes soon focused on Qin Feng.

Battle Armor!

In that instant, Qin Feng felt at least ten gazes, none weaker than Elder Chang’s, land upon him.

The next moment, however, the gazes shifted. They subtly moved to a figure in the VIP section—a devastatingly beautiful woman with silver hair and a snow-white robe. Some of the onlookers even showed faint traces of passion and adoration.

Qin Feng’s eyes followed their gazes, and a single glance was enough to leave him feeling stunned by her beauty.

Qin Feng had seen his fair share of beautiful women, but as for one with the aura of this silver-haired girl, he feared only Ji Huang’Er and the woman he’d taken advantage of by the river could compare.

Even Baiyun and Yun Mo paled in comparison to her.

"What’s the matter, little fellow? Have you taken a liking to Miss Yue Ji as well?"

"Her name is Yue Ji?" Qin Feng concealed the look in his eyes and glanced at the beaming Elder Chang.

Elder Chang nodded slightly, making no effort to hide the admiration in his eyes. "That’s right. This young lady is no ordinary person. She’s a famous beauty from All Stars Academy, her strength is immense, and she’s ranked fifth on the Star Ranking!"

"What’s more, she’s also a Fourth Grade Alchemist with a boundless future!"

It’s common knowledge that while the four major professions are all popular on the Spirit Sea Continent, Mystic Masters, Artifact Refiners, and Inscription Masters are still considered a cut below Alchemists in terms of status.

Inviting a powerful Alchemist to serve as an Honored Guest Elder is a dream for many families and sects.

A Fourth Grade Alchemist of her age is exceptionally rare.

To say her future is limitless is no exaggeration.

Sure enough, Elder Chang’s next words confirmed Qin Feng’s suspicions.

"Even though the young lady hasn’t graduated from All Stars Academy yet, the sect has already decided to make her an Inner Sect Disciple. She can take her pick from any of the Star Sect’s twenty-four peaks, including the Sect Leader’s own Yingyue Peak!"

"Are Alchemists really in such high demand?"

Hearing this, Qin Feng was secretly astonished. A peculiar light flickered in his eyes. ’When it comes to refining elixirs, that’s one of my signature skills.’

’Looks like I’ll have to pay a visit to the Alchemist Guild when the time is right.’

A flicker of movement crossed Qin Feng’s eyes.

Just then, Yue Ji walked over. She wore a snow-white robe that outlined her tall, slender, and exquisitely curved figure to an almost exaggerated degree. With every step, she was the picture of dazzling elegance.

A fragrant scent wafted toward him. Qin Feng’s gaze narrowed slightly as Yue Ji walked straight past him. Her beautiful eyes held an icy air, and without a sideways glance, she walked directly out of the VIP hall.

’Am I really that charmless?’

Qin Feng glanced down at his Battle Armor, the corner of his mouth twitching. ’All this magnificent equipment, and not a single point of charisma bonus.’

’What a failure.’

"Alright, kid, let’s go!"

Elder Chang shook his head with a faint smile and led Qin Feng toward the counter. Qin Feng glanced at Yue Ji’s retreating figure, shrugged, and followed. Elder Chang stepped behind the counter. Atop it sat a massive Crystal Ball, with wisps of Spiritual Light flowing across its surface, giving it a soft, gentle glow.

With a wave of his wide sleeve, Elder Chang caused a profound aura to emanate from the Crystal Ball.

Looking at Qin Feng, who stood before the counter, Elder Chang asked, "Qin Feng, are you here to trade something in for Points, or to use Points to redeem a Cultivation Technique or Spiritual Object?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment. He had countless Cultivation Techniques in his mind, so he certainly wasn’t lacking in that department.

’No, that’s not quite right. If I’m lacking any Cultivation Technique, it would only be the 3rd Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique".’

’The 3rd Layer of the "Mixed Element Star Technique" corresponds to cultivation in the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, which I don’t need just yet.’

After a moment, Qin Feng looked up and said, "I’d like to redeem a Spiritual Object. Please list all Fire Attribute Spiritual Objects priced at ten thousand Points or less."

Having advanced to the Condensing Vein Realm, Qin Feng was cultivating the Circulation Five Elements Meridian Condensation Method.

The veins he was condensing were Five Elements Starlight Condensing Veins.

The first Spirit Vein he condensed was the Sun Spirit Vein.

The Condensing Vein Realm has five great Secret Realms: the Human Extreme Realm, the Yellow Extreme Realm, the Profound Extreme Realm, the Earth Extreme Realm, and the Celestial Extreme Realm. The more solid one’s foundation, the more Spirit Veins they can condense in each Secret Realm.

An expert who breaks through to the Condensing Vein Realm directly from the Martial Arts Ninth Layer Heaven can typically condense a maximum of three Spirit Veins in the Human Extreme Realm.

Meanwhile, a Martial Artist with a Middle-Grade Foundation Establishment can condense fewer than six Spirit Veins upon breaking into the Condensing Vein Realm.

Those with a Top-Grade Foundation Establishment can condense fewer than nine Spirit Veins in the Human Extreme Realm.

However, Qin Feng had broken through to the Condensing Vein Realm from the Extreme Realm. His Heavenly Dao Level Star True Power had already surpassed the ultimate limit of nine.

Qin Feng guessed that he could condense at least twelve Spirit Veins.

A normal Martial Artist could form three veins; he could form four times that number. Yet, the resulting power would be far greater than a simple fourfold increase.

’I’ve already condensed one Fire Attribute Spirit Vein. The Sun Spirit Vein is a Top-grade Spirit Vein among them. Next, I need to condense the other Fire Attribute Spirit Veins. Once all twelve veins reach Perfection and I break through to the Yellow Extreme Realm, I’ll have to condense Earth Attribute Spirit Veins in the Yellow Extreme Secret Realm.’

As he thought this, Qin Feng raised his head and looked at the Crystal Ball.

Elder Chang chuckled. With a point of his finger, a ripple of Spiritual Light shot out from the Crystal Ball and manifested before Qin Feng.

Elder Chang glanced at Qin Feng and said, "Little brother, if I’m not mistaken, the Secret Technique you’re using to condense your Spirit Veins is the Circulation Five Elements Vein Condensing Secret Technique from the ’Mixed Element Star Technique’. For the first Secret Realm, the Human Extreme Secret Realm, that technique uses Fire Attribute Spirit Veins. I presume you want a Fire Attribute Spiritual Object to condense the rest of them!"

"However, Fire Attribute Spirit Veins also have different grades. The higher the quality of the Spiritual Object, the higher the quality of the resulting Spirit Vein. I imagine you wouldn’t be interested in ordinary ones, so I’ll filter out some options for you. You can choose from the rest."

Streams of fiery red light appeared, and the images of dozens, even hundreds, of crimson Exotic Treasures materialized on the Crystal Ball.

Each item radiated a red glow, dazzling Qin Feng’s eyes.

"These Treasures are all priced between one thousand and ten thousand Points. Take your pick!"

Qin Feng’s gaze fell upon the Crystal Ball, and his eyes narrowed.

The first thing that caught his eye was a brilliantly shimmering red pearl.

Xuan-grade High-level Spiritual Object: the Ten-Thousand-Year Earth Evil Fire Essence Pearl!

This was a Spiritual Object nurtured within the Earth Veins of a Fire Attribute Spirit Mountain. The pearl contained a Top-Spirit Fire: the Red Lotus Earth Fiend Fire.

If he could obtain this treasure, Qin Feng would be able to condense a top-grade Red Evil Spirit Vein.

Its value: two thousand Points!

Qin Feng was inwardly shaken. ’Damn, that’s not just expensive; it’s exorbitant.’

Next was a Fire Attribute Dragon Pearl, another Xuan-grade High-level Spiritual Object: the Li Huo Fire Flood Dragon Pearl!

The origin of this Li Huo Fire Flood Dragon Pearl was also extraordinary. It was the Lifebound Element Pearl of an Alien Species Flood Dragon—the Li Huo Fire Flood Dragon—refined over a thousand years.

This Flood Dragon Pearl contained a trace of Heaven-Burning Separation Fire.

If he could refine it, he could form another top-grade Fire Attribute Spirit Vein. This one was called the Li Fire Spirit Vein, and it was exceptionally powerful.
