CHAPTER 424: CHAPTER 424 ARRANGEMENT

"Cough cough...!"

Ye Wudi almost choked to death on a mouthful of water.

After calming down a bit, he couldn’t help but glare with his tiger-like eyes.

Is that what I meant?

Good thing you’re not my son, otherwise I’d break your legs!

After making arrangements here, Xiao Zhan turned his attention to Liu Xin, "What about you, what do you plan to do? Continue staying at Mulan Guild or go to Northern City?"

Staying at Mulan Guild, the Federation would definitely investigate Liu Xin’s connection to the downfall of the Su Family.

It was uncertain what her fate would be.

Going to Northern City would make her even more exposed, but if the Ye Family were to protect her, the Federation might not necessarily be able to do anything to her.

Liu Xin thought for a moment and said, "I’ll go to Northern City."

Xiao Zhan nodded; he also hoped Liu Xin would go to Northern City because he needed her help to resolve the Death Aura issue, even though it was only a possibility.

But having this possibility is better than none at all.

With Liu Xin in Northern City, Xiao Zhan wouldn’t have to worry about her safety, which in turn would mean an additional layer of security for his own life.

Xiao Zhan handed over the Holy Spirit Pearl to Liu Xin, "Take this and use it, I hope you can advance and break through soon. I also need a favor from you."

With that, he introduced Li Teng to Liu Xin, "You’ve seen the Hand of Death he leads. Their power has reached a bottleneck, and I need your help to elevate their Talent Level a bit. That shouldn’t be a problem, right?"

"No problem." Liu Xin shook her head.

After all, it was just something she could do along the way. Once she had finished using the Holy Spirit Pearl, she wouldn’t need it anymore.

Xiao Zhan then spoke to Ghost Abacus and the others, "You all can also use this Holy Spirit Pearl. It can enhance your Talent Level. The Su Family had so many experts largely because of it."

Ghost Abacus’s eyes lit up, "Really? There’s such a miraculous thing?"

With this item, wouldn’t his money-making speed increase even faster?

However, at this moment, Hose poured cold water on his excitement, "This Holy Spirit Pearl indeed has the ability to improve Talent Level, but not everyone can be enhanced—it relies on personal potential. The Holy Spirit Pearl only helps to stimulate this potential. Don’t think that getting the Holy Spirit Pearl guarantees an upgrade."

"Hmph, as if I didn’t know that," Ghost Abacus said disdainfully, "The Holy Spirit Pearl does indeed stimulate the potential of Spirit Masters or Artifact Spirits as you said. But potential is something that can also be increased later in life."

"As long as I absorb a large amount of precious resources and embed High Grade Energy Stones, raising the upper limit of my potential, I too can advance and break through!"

Ghost Abacus was correct in what he said.

Potential is divided into innate and acquired.

Innate goes without saying, but the acquired, in summary, is all about spending money!

By using High Grade Spiritual Medicines and stones, one can improve their physique, which in turn stimulates internal potential to achieve the effects possessed by higher-level beings.

However, this method is costly and unaffordable for most people.

There’s a saying, "The rich rely on technology, while the poor rely on mutation," which is probably the essence of this idea.

Xiao Zhan wasn’t too concerned whether they could break through or not; he just needed to do what he had to do. If they could break through, that would be great, but if not, he wouldn’t force it.

Afterwards, Xiao Zhan waved goodbye to them.

Now that the Su Family’s issues were resolved, Xiao Zhan needed to find Qin Wanfeng.

It was also time to leave Dragon Capital.

Just then, Qin Wanfeng’s communication came through as Xiao Zhan was about to set off.

Xiao Zhan answered and Qin Wanfeng’s anxious voice came over, "Hey, where the hell are you? Why haven’t you come yet? I’ve been waiting for you for three days."

"You didn’t give a specific time," Xiao Zhan retorted.

Qin Wanfeng just said to come over when he had the time, without specifying a particular day.

"Alright, alright, let’s not quibble about this. It’s about time now, just waiting for you. You better come over quickly."

"I got it."

Xiao Zhan hung up the communication and immediately headed towards the Special Service Bureau.

Meanwhile.

Special Service Bureau.

Several men with stern faces sat in the office.

In front of them was a stack of documents.

Besides this stack, there were two separate files.

In their hands, they also held some documents.

Upon a closer look, one could see that these documents concerned personal information. There were both men and women, and judging by the number of documents, the group was not small.

They read while nodding, sometimes frowning, sometimes seeming pleasantly surprised.

Just then, the office door was pushed open, and Qin Wanfeng walked in.

He returned to his seat, glanced at everyone, and asked, "What do you think, gentlemen? Have you come to a decision? If there are no objections, then let’s finalize these three pairs."

Hearing this, one of the men dressed in a suit with slightly silver hair put down the document in his hand and said, "We have no issues with the first two pairs, but for the third pair, I have reservations."

As he said this, the others nodded in agreement.

Qin Wanfeng maintained his composure and looked at him, asking, "What specifically is the concern?"

The man replied, "In our grand Longxia Federation, there is no shortage of Sixth Grade Spirit Masters under the age of thirty-five. It’s no problem to come up with three pairs."

"All here are Sixth Grade Spirit Masters under the age of thirty-five. Why are we ignoring them and choosing a Fifth Grade Spirit Master who hasn’t even reached twenty-two?"

The more he spoke, the more confused he became, and his voice grew louder by the end.

Qin Wanfeng remained calm, waiting for him to finish before speaking slowly, "Didn’t you just say it yourself, a Fifth Grade Spirit Master who is twenty-two years old?"

"What do you mean?"

The man didn’t catch on.

Qin Wanfeng chuckled and shook his head, "There are many Sixth Grade Spirit Masters who are thirty-five years old, but have you ever seen a Fifth Grade Spirit Master who is less than twenty-two years old? Isn’t that enough to prove their strength?"

"I haven’t seen it, but so what, no matter how outstanding they are, they are still just Fifth Grade Spirit Masters!" the man argued.

Another person stood up to agree, "That’s right, Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong, as the young leaders of their generation, indeed stand out like the dragon among men, and it is likely that the whole world could not find a second pair as outstanding as them."

"But a Fifth Grade is still a Fifth Grade, and the gap with Sixth Grade is not just a difference of Realm or a matter of a single word; it’s the difference between life and death!"

"Whether it’s being responsible for the Federation or for Xiao Zhan and Ye Youlong’s lives, I don’t think giving the third slot to them is the right decision!"

The speaker was a man with a strong sense of authority, dressed in a military uniform, seemingly of high rank.
