Chapter 446 - 281: Constant Surprises
Based on her previous estimates, she would have considered it hitting the jackpot if Zou Feng gave her one or two hundred Immortal Fate points.
She never imagined Zou Feng would be so generous, transferring five hundred Immortal Fate points in one go.
Qin Fengwu had been in the Outer Sect for over four years and had never earned that many Immortal Fate points in total.
Besides, earning five hundred points over several years and receiving five hundred points instantly were two completely different concepts.
In any case, with this windfall, Qin Fengwu could finally afford the resource she had been saving for to break through to the Spiritual Energy Realm and attempt to enter the Inner Sect.
After a brief daze, Qin Fengwu, her heart pounding with excitement, tremblingly sent another message to Zou Feng.
It was worth noting that sending messages with the Token required no typing or voice input. One simply had to hold the Token and send the message with a thought.
"Brother Zou, when will you arrive? Your junior sister will go bathe right now!"
"Uh, or you could just name a place, and I’ll rush over as soon as I’m done bathing..."
"A red silk halter... do you like that, Brother Zou?"
On his end, Zou Feng saw that Qin Fengwu’s messages were becoming increasingly indecent, so he decided to ignore them.
After all, he had just cultivated the Dragon and Tiger Kan and Li Skill with Gongsun Jinghong. Zou Feng was currently in a sage-like state and truly had little interest.
Just as he put away his Token, there was another knock on the door.
Zou Feng knew it was most likely Leng Jing, who had said he would come over right away, arriving as promised.
When he opened the door, Leng Jing’s face was filled with delighted surprise.
"Younger Brother Zou, my utmost admiration!"
"You’re now the Outer Sect’s newly risen hidden dragon of two leaderboards! Your future is limitless!"
Zou Feng quickly replied, "Brother Leng, please don’t say that. No matter my achievements, I’m still just in the Outer Sect..."
"Humble and level-headed! I admire you even more for it!"
"By the way, I just mentioned you to my ancestor. She agreed to invest in you without hesitation."
This was within Zou Feng’s expectations. For newly promoted True Disciples, such an investment was a casual affair, like buying a lottery ticket and setting it aside.
"Thank you for your help, Brother Leng!"
"Five thousand Immortal Fate points! The ancestor is giving you that much directly!" Leng Jing’s voice trembled as he stated the specific amount.
The vast majority of Outer Disciples would be unable to remain indifferent upon hearing such a figure.
’Five thousand points right off the bat?’
’Are all True Disciples this wealthy?’
This was just an investment in an Outer Disciple. If he entered the Inner Sect and continued to show potential, wouldn’t the investments become even more extravagant?
However, despite his pleasant surprise at the amount, Zou Feng couldn’t help but have another concern.
’What’s the price?’
"Brother Leng, what will I need to do for Jiang Zhenchuan?"
Unexpectedly, Leng Jing was taken aback by the question before bursting into laughter.
Then, he clapped Zou Feng on the shoulder and said, "Younger Brother Zou, you’re overthinking it!"
"It’s true you have a ton of potential right now, but what can you really do for a True Disciple?"
"Aside from running errands, if a True Disciple needed an Outer Disciple’s help with anything else, that would be the real joke."
"Don’t worry. Five thousand Immortal Fate points is a fortune to us, but to a True Disciple, it might just be their normal daily expenses..."
As Leng Jing explained, Zou Feng finally understood that his current low Realm had limited his perspective.
The True Disciples of the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect were even more incredible than he had previously imagined.
Most True Disciples not only had businesses within the Immortal Sect but also various sources of income in the numerous Outer Realms.
Not to mention the terrifying profits they could gain from leading a conquest of a new, resource-rich Outer Realm...
While he was chatting with Leng Jing, Teng County brought over some wine and dishes.
Leng Jing didn’t leave, fully satisfied, until evening.
Naturally, Zou Feng wouldn’t forget Leng Jing’s part in the introduction.
While they were drinking, it took much persuasion for him to get Leng Jing to accept five hundred Immortal Fate points.
In truth, Leng Jing had sincerely hoped that Zou Feng would maintain his momentum and continue to attract his ancestor’s attention.
If Zou Feng could truly help the ancestor in the future, then he, the one who had facilitated this investment, would also receive significant credit and be noticed by her.
Otherwise, despite his blood relation to Jiang Wanzhao, simply being allowed to acknowledge their kinship was already the limit.
After seeing Leng Jing off, Zou Feng transferred one hundred Immortal Fate points each to Gongsun Jinghong and Teng County.
It wasn’t that he was being stingy; if the two women wanted anything more expensive, they could just tell him directly.
However, both women knew their place and understood that prioritizing Zou Feng’s continued powerful advancement was the most sensible choice.
Even after giving away some Immortal Fate points, Zou Feng still had a total of 7,800 points left.
Without another word, he immediately went on a shopping spree.
According to his original plan, the Elixirs needed to form his ideal Three-in-One Spirit Body were the Seven Emotions Quenching Fire Pill and the Gathering Spirit and Bone Generating Pill.
But at the time, he hadn’t expected to earn so much at once, so those two Elixirs were just the most basic option.
Now, of course, he had to up the ante and make the formation of his Spirit Body even more perfect.
So, after buying those two Elixirs, Zou Feng also bought a Blood Crystal Pill, which cost a whopping 980 Immortal Fate points.
And a Celestial Spirit Marrow Cleansing Pill for 800 Immortal Fate points.
Of course, he couldn’t neglect the Skills he would need after successfully forming his Spirit Body.
After all, the Evil Qi Induction Art was just a foundational Skill without any solid offensive capabilities.
But once he mastered the Evil Qi Induction Art, cultivating other Skills based on Evil Qi would be twice as effective.
So, without hesitation, Zou Feng immediately purchased the "Calamity Evil Needles" for 600 Immortal Fate points.
This Skill was extremely vicious and cruel.
It could condense Evil Qi into the form of needles. Forget about True Qi shields—at a high enough level of Cultivation, it could even break through ordinary Spiritual Qi shields with ease.
Furthermore, the moves of the Calamity Evil Needles Skill specifically targeted the body’s acupoints.
Hitting different acupoints would naturally produce different effects.
As for Zou Feng, he could also apply Poison Attachment to the "Evil Needles," making his victims wish they were dead.
With that shopping spree, over three thousand Immortal Fate points vanished in an instant.
Zou Feng had just been feeling like a nouveau riche, but in a short time, his assets had shrunk by nearly half.
But these investments were absolutely worth it. He estimated his success rate for forming the Three-in-One Spirit Body was now as high as eighty percent!
The reason he couldn’t say it was a one hundred percent certainty was because the theoretically viable Spirit Body he had conceived was his own creation, with no predecessors’ experience to draw upon.
After spending over three thousand Immortal Fate points, Zou Feng still didn’t stop browsing the good things the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect had to offer, intending to see if there was anything else worth buying.
As for his previous purchases, they were delivered directly to Courtyard Nine by a special courier in less time than it takes to eat a meal.
And just as Zou Feng was receiving his delivery, he unexpectedly received another surprise.
A confidant of He Wenxuan came to his door with a pot of Mind-Soothing Grass, explaining that it was a gift from Elder Xue of the Inner Sect Dining Hall.
’Just as I thought. It’s not just True Disciples making casual investments; there are always people in the Inner Sect who will bet on a hidden dragon of two leaderboards.’
He just hadn’t expected that even though he had refused to become that Xue Cang’s disciple, the man was still willing to invest in him. That level of magnanimity far surpassed the people from the Purple Cloud Association.
As for this Mind-Soothing Grass...
It was something that wasn’t even on the list of available items on his Token.
This wasn’t surprising. After all, he was only an Outer Disciple; not everything would be available to him.
Of course, it was also possible that it was simply out of stock and thus couldn’t be sold.
The disciple who delivered the Mind-Soothing Grass specifically explained the plant’s use.
In truth, this thing was very valuable, but its use was highly specific.
Its greatest effect was to protect the mind during the formation of a Spirit Body, making the process more stable and reducing the chance of anything going wrong.
This gift was clearly prepared by Xue Cang specifically because he had guessed that Zou Feng was about to form a Spirit Body.
And with the Mind-Soothing Grass, Zou Feng’s confidence in forming the Three-in-One Spirit Body, which had been at eighty percent, now rose to ninety percent!
