Even Fan Jian’s stoic face twitched.
The look in his eyes as he gazed at Han Feng was complicated.
He considered himself a ruthless man—hard on his enemies, and even harder on himself.
But if he had been the one to receive this inheritance, he could never have brought himself to share it so readily.
"We’re brothers on the sa team. There’s no point in being secretive."
Han Feng’s smile was serene.
He was well aware that while this inheritance was imnsely valuable to him, it was just as important to the entire team.
One person’s strength, in the end, is limited.
Only when the entire team was strong could they hope to survive and thrive in this dangerous world.
This inheritance was a reward, but also an investnt.
Su Yue pushed her glasses up the bridge of her nose.
Behind her lenses, her eyes shone with a rational light.
"Han Feng, the value of this Lingxi Finger might be far beyond our imagination."
"It provides a completely new approach, one that bypasses traditional Rune Circuits to resonate directly with an Energy Core."
"If we could fully analyze its principles and apply them to modern Spiritual Energy Technology..."
She trailed off, not needing to finish.
But everyone present understood what it would an.
A revolution capable of upending the current technological system.
Zhang Hao looked at Han Feng, his expression incredibly solemn.
He handed the personal terminal back, his voice slightly hoarse.
"Han Feng... thank you."
"The Sharp Sword Society will rember this debt."
He didn’t offer any more pleasantries, simply engraving this imnse debt of gratitude into his heart.
Han Feng took back the terminal and changed the subject.
He had more important things to do.
"Captain, I’m planning to head to the Trading Hall to return that Spiritual Refining Device and buy a few things."
"I’ll go with you!"
Wang ng imdiately stepped forward.
"No need. I’ll be back soon."
Han Feng waved his hand dismissively and looked toward Zhang Hao.
"What’s the plan for everyone now?"
"We’ve been on the move for over thirty hours straight. Everyone’s nerves are stretched to the limit."
"Now that we have this Secret Technique, we need ti to digest it."
Zhang Hao announced his decision in a serious tone.
"My decision is for the entire team to rest for half a day to rest and recuperate."
This suited Han Feng perfectly.
He said his goodbyes to the others, left the stone house alone, and headed toward the Trading Hall.
Along the way, a thought prompted him to pull up his personal status panel.

[Promotion Requirents:]

[2. Achieve 100% in Root Bone Transformation Progress (Complete)]
[3. Reach the ridian Passage Realm in Cultivation (Incomplete)]
[4. Master at least three Swordsmanship or Body Techniques to the ’Mastery’ level (1/3)]
His goal was crystal clear.
Break through to the ridian Passage Realm.
Although his Innate Sword Body could autonomously absorb Spiritual Qi and convert it into Sword Essence, the rate was far too slow.
It was like trying to fill a swimming pool with an eyedropper.
To break through quickly, he had to rely on external aid.
High-Tier Potions containing pure Spiritual Qi were his only option for now.
Closing the panel, Han Feng arrived once again at the bustling Wind Eye Market.
He navigated the familiar paths with ease and found the Star Sea Technology stall.
As soon as the researcher, Zhao Hai, saw him, he rushed over to greet him, his face beaming with enthusiasm.
"Student Han Feng! You’re finally here!"
Zhao Hai’s enthusiasm was almost overwhelming.
"So, how did it go? How was our ’Spiritual Will Refining System’? Did you manage to record any valuable data?"
"It worked well."
Han Feng placed the silver case on the table.
"I’m returning this."
"Also, I wanted to ask—do you have any Concentrated Spiritual Liquid suitable for soone at the Body Tempering Realm breaking through to the ridian Passage Realm?"
"Yes, yes, of course! We absolutely do!"
While deftly inspecting the device and confirming it was undamaged, Zhao Hai launched into an enthusiastic sales pitch.
"Our Star Sea Technology’s ’Deep Blue’ series of Concentrated Spiritual Liquid is the absolute best in the business! It’s divided into three levels: First, Second, and Third."
He held up one finger.
"First Level Concentrated Spiritual Liquid sells for five Spirit Coins a vial."
"The Spiritual Power is gentle and pure, making it perfect for those at the Body Tempering Realm to use during a breakthrough."
"At your stage, the body’s efficiency at absorbing Spiritual Power isn’t very high, so using a more advanced level would be wasteful and could even cause injury."
"Second Level Concentrated Spiritual Liquid is thirty Spirit Coins a vial. That’s for Martial Artists at the ridian Passage Realm to quickly restore their energy."
"As for the Third Level, it’s two hundred Spirit Coins a vial. That’s for powerful experts in the middle or late stages of the ridian Passage Realm to use when breaking through a bottleneck or in a life-or-death battle. The energy is incredibly volatile."
Zhao Hai looked at Han Feng and advised in a highly professional tone.
"Student Han Feng, I recomnd you buy the First Level. It’s the most cost-effective."
Han Feng thought for a mont.
"I’ll take one of the First Level and one of the Second Level to try them out."
He had a feeling his Innate Sword Body wasn’t quite like other people’s.
Zhao Hai didn’t think much of it and quickly brought over two differently colored potions.
Han Feng unscrewed the cap on the First Level Spiritual Liquid—the one worth five Spirit Coins—and downed it in one gulp.
A gentle, warm current spread through his body, where it was swiftly absorbed by his Innate Sword Body and converted into Sword Essence.
[Sword Essence 2]
It felt like drinking a cup of warm water—comfortable, but it lacked a kick.
