353: Chapter 352 A Favor!!

"Although the listed items contain many rarities, considering your outstanding contributions, I can make the decision—to fully replenish all the resources you lack."

Hiss!

Even with Qin Yan's steady composure, he couldn't help but feel a surge of shock in his heart!

Replenish all the gaps?

He knew the list well. Aside from what Princess Anya had promised, the remaining spirit herbs included over a dozen Sixth-Rank and dozens of Fifth-Rank varieties, plus numerous special supplementary materials. The total value was astronomical!

Even Princess Anya had previously only committed to providing fifty-five percent.

And now, this female official before him was casually stating 'fully replenish'?

Just what status did she hold? To possess such authority and decisiveness?

Moreover, she had just directly called Anya 'Xiao Ya'?

This was almost unimaginable within the strictly hierarchical Elf royal family!

Just as Qin Yan was reeling from shock, Anya, standing beside him, spoke up appropriately, "Qin Yan, why are you standing there dazed? Hurry and thank Envoy An Miao!

Envoy An Miao is one of the 'Nine Divine Hall Envoys' under the Supreme Council of our Elf Clan. Her status is exalted, second only to Her Majesty the Empress and the Council Speaker.

She presides over the Hall of Wisdom and Knowledge. Her words represent one of the highest wills of our clan."

One of the Nine Divine Hall Envoys!

A status second only to the Empress and the Speaker!

Although he didn't know the specifics of the Elf Clan's power structure, the phrase 'second only to the Empress and the Speaker' was enough to convey her immense weight!

She was undoubtedly one of the true core high-level figures of the Elf Clan!

"This junior Qin Yan pays his respects to Envoy An Miao! Many thanks for Envoy's great favor!"

Not daring to be negligent, Qin Yan respectfully performed a deep bow.

"No need for formalities."

The crystal ball in Ming Xin's hand paused slightly, and a gentle yet irresistible force lifted Qin Yan, straightening him up.

"Resources are merely the first part of the reward."

Ming Xin's silver-gray eyes calmly observed Qin Yan, as if studying an interesting research subject.

"Our clan also possesses a treasure land named the 'starlight cleansing pool'.

This pool concentrates stellar essence. This energy is gentle and pure, having an excellent effect on nourishing, strengthening, and even tempering one's spirit.

Especially for young talents whose spirit has not yet undergone its first qualitative transformation, it is a supreme blessed land for solidifying spiritual foundations and expanding spiritual potential."

After speaking, Ming Xin's gaze did not waver; instead, it focused even more intently on Qin Yan.

She was a peak existence specializing in spirit, her cultivation having stepped into the legendary realm of 'spirit True King'.

Her perception was sharp enough to glimpse part of the mysteries of life's origin.

In her 'vision', Qin Yan's life force was as vast as a dragon, his physical foundation profound, but the 'aura' of his spirit was relatively dim. Its intensity clearly hadn't yet broken through the 10-hertz threshold of the first qualitative transformation.

This created a subtle 'incongruity' with his monstrous overall performance.

Logically, a talent capable of such achievements usually wouldn't have a weak soul essence, or initial spiritual talent. Often, they would be exceptional, even outstanding.

Why was Qin Yan an exception?

Even for an existence like her, it was momentarily unfathomable.

Qin Yan's heart shook once more!

This Envoy An Miao had such sharp eyes!

She had actually seen through one of his current biggest shortcomings at a glance—his spirit!

His current spirit indeed hadn't broken through the 10-hertz threshold. Among peers of his talent level, it could only be considered low, far from matching his physical life force and combat skills.

Moreover, unlike his physique and the upcoming Qi Refinement, improving one's spirit was extremely difficult.

There was no such thing as cultivation techniques for spirit. It relied entirely on innate talent, serendipitous encounters, and rare resources to slowly build up.

And his panel couldn't directly enhance spirit. Therefore, his current cultivation plan focused on leveraging strengths and avoiding weaknesses.

Prioritizing the development of his physique and the planned future Qi Refinement.

For spirit, he could only temporarily rely on natural growth and the incidental nourishment brought by realm advancements.

Now, Envoy An Miao was not only replenishing his most urgently needed material resources but also offering the opportunity of the 'starlight cleansing pool', which could directly compensate for his shortcoming!

When he eventually broke through to the Seventh-Grade Grandmaster realm, formally knocking on the door of a high-rank martial artist...

Relying on the supreme physical foundation forged by the *Indestructible Blood Demon Scripture*, the pure Five Elements Qi condensed through the *Five Elements Primordial Scripture*, and if he could use opportunities like the 'starlight cleansing pool' to also elevate his deficient spirit to a corresponding height...

At that time, he might truly attempt that legendary feat almost no one had achieved—simultaneously condensing a Physical Golden Body, a Qi Refinement Golden Body, and a Spiritual Golden Body!

Three foundational pillars advancing side by side, mutually supporting and reinforcing each other, to charge towards that unprecedented Supreme Golden Body!

Thinking of this, even with Qin Yan's temperament, his breathing hitched slightly, and a flash of fervent light gleamed in his eyes.

The Supreme Golden Body was not merely a symbol of power; it was synonymous with peerless might within the same realm and boundless potential.

It was the most solid ladder to the pinnacle of higher martial paths!

Suppressing the surging emotions in his heart, he bowed deeply once more to Envoy An Miao, Ming Xin.

Ming Xin gave a slight nod. The trace of inquisitiveness in her silver-gray eyes, which held galaxies, slowly receded, returning to the wisdom and tranquility of an ancient, unrippled well.

To her, regardless of what peculiarities Qin Yan might harbor, since he had demonstrated value and sincerity worthy of investment, providing corresponding support was a natural action aligned with the Elf Clan's interests and principles.

As for the secrets on Qin Yan's person... Given her current realm, experience, and status, there were few true mysteries across the myriad realms that could pique her intense curiosity.

"Resources and opportunities—these two aid in solidifying your foundation and compensating for shortcomings."

"There is one final reward. It lacks physical form, yet it may shield you from calamity at a critical moment."

She paused, then stated clearly, "This is a favor owed to you by our Elf Clan, in my personal name, Ming Xin, and in the name of Anya's faction.

At a future moment you deem necessary and perilous, I can intervene on your behalf once."

Upon hearing this, even Anya beside them showed a slight change in expression.

A personal promise and one opportunity for intervention from a spirit True King-level powerhouse—its value, in certain situations, might even surpass all the previous material and sacred land rewards!

This was a true, weighty 'talisman of protection'.

After speaking, Ming Xin gently turned her right hand, fair as jade, palm facing upward.

Points of starlight gathered, rapidly condensing into a crystal-clear, translucent crystal sphere.

The sphere's surface flowed with a gentle luster, faintly revealing elusive and profound spiritual runes.

"This object contains a wisp of imprint from my King Weapon,"

Ming Xin explained. "If you encounter great danger or calamity you cannot withstand in the future, simply crush it with force.

As long as you are not in some absolute land or forbidden zone that completely isolates space and spiritual perception, or the distance is not excessively vast,

I will be able to sense it at the first moment, lock onto your location with the utmost speed, and attempt cross-spatial intervention or direct manifestation."
