457: Chapter 457 Envy Qin Yan's sister!

Wang Bing's gaze fell upon three of the Materials, and his pupils suddenly constricted!

"This is... Scarlet Flame Essence Gold! Cold Iron Profound Crystal! And... Silver Astral Sand!"

His voice was trembling.

Scarlet Flame Essence Gold, a fourth-rank fire-attribute smithing material, can significantly enhance the fire-elemental power of a spirit weapon.

Cold Ice Profound Crystal, a fourth-rank water-attribute smithing material, is an excellent auxiliary material for refining water-elemental spirit weapons.

Silver Astral Sand, a fourth-rank metal-attribute smithing material, can enhance the sharpness and durability of a spirit weapon.

Any one of these three Materials, if taken outside, would be enough to make Fourth Rank Martial Artists fight tooth and nail for them!

"President Wang, these three Materials for forging spirit weapons are for you," Qin Yan said.

"For me?"

Wang Bing spoke uncertainly, his voice carrying a hint of a tremor.

One must know that he had been a Fourth Rank Martial Artist for many years, but due to limited resources, he had never been able to gather enough Materials to forge his natal spirit weapon.

He had saved and saved over the years, yet he had only managed to collect less than half.

And now, if these three Materials were truly for him, combined with the Materials he had previously accumulated, it would be enough for him to forge his own natal spirit weapon!

A natal spirit weapon—that was something every Fourth Rank Martial Artist dreamed of.

With a natal spirit weapon, one's combat power could increase by a large margin;

He dreamed of possessing his own natal spirit weapon, but because his pockets were empty, he had never been able to fulfill that wish.

"That's right, President Wang, these Materials are all for you."

With a gentle push of Qin Yan's palm, the three Materials flew toward Wang Bing.

He was now a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist; these things were indeed of no use to him anymore.

Wang Bing reached out to catch them, his hands trembling slightly.

He held the three Materials as if he were holding the most precious treasures in the world.

It was a long time before he looked up at Qin Yan.

In that gaze, there was gratitude, excitement, and a sense of absolute determination.

He took a deep breath and spoke with a powerful, resonant voice: "Qin Yan, if there's anything you need help with, I will definitely give it my all!"

He said this decisively and without reservation.

Seeing this, the other high-ranking officials also spoke up one after another: "We'll help too!"

"Right, Qin Yan, if there's anything you need us to do, just say the word!"

One after another, they spoke with voices full of solemnity.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

Seeing this, Qin Yan gave a soft smile.

That smile carried a hint of satisfaction and a hint of relief.

This was exactly the effect he wanted.

"Everyone, you are all pillars of Linhai City. I, Qin Yan, have always admired the contributions you've made to the City."

"I'm giving you these resources in the hope that you can become even stronger and better protect our Linhai City in the future."

"After all, our City needs you."

The high-ranking officials felt a warmth in their hearts and nodded repeatedly.

At that moment, Qin Yan's tone shifted, becoming solemn:

"Additionally, there is one more thing I need to ask of you."

His gaze fell upon Qin Xiaoxi beside him.

"During the time I'm away, I hope you can help look after my little sister and my family."

"If anyone bullies them, or if they encounter any trouble, please step in and help in a timely manner."

He paused, his voice growing slightly heavier:

"I, Qin Yan, would be eternally grateful."

As Qin Yan's voice fell, the entire training room went quiet for a while.

Then, the association's high-ranking officials stood there, their gazes falling unanimously on Qin Xiaoxi, their eyes filled with undisguised envy.

To be Qin Yan's sister was simply too fortunate!

This was the thought that simultaneously surged in everyone's mind.

To have such a brother, willing to use so many precious resources to pave the way for his sister and arrange her future before leaving—where could one find such a brother?

"Qin Yan, rest assured."

Wang Bing was the first to speak, his voice low and solemn.

"As long as I am still in Linhai City, I will never let your sister suffer even a hint of bullying in this City!"

He spoke decisively, without the slightest ambiguity.

The other high-ranking officials also stepped forward, nodding with solemn expressions.

Qin Yan watched this scene and gave a soft nod.

"Then I thank you all."

He believed the promises of these people.

Not because of personal sentiment, but because of interest.

He had spoken clearly and given generous gifts; these people would naturally understand what to do.

Watching her brother pave the way for her, and seeing those usually high-and-mighty association officials making solemn promises before her brother...

A complex surge of emotions welled up in her heart.

There was warmth and gratitude, but more than that, there was heartache.

Her brother was about to embark on a long journey to the peril-filled Myriad Realms Holy Land, facing countless unknown dangers.

Yet before leaving, he wasn't thinking of himself, but of her and the family.

"No..."

Qin Xiaoxi's fists quietly tightened.

"I cannot be a burden to my brother!"

Her eyes instantly became incredibly determined.

She didn't say a word, nor did she interrupt her brother's conversation with the officials.

She simply turned around silently, walked to the center of the training room, and resumed the Sky-Supporting One Qi Stance.

She had to work hard.

She had to become stronger.

Strong enough that one day, she could stand by her brother's side instead of hiding behind his back.

Qin Yan watched this scene, first startled, then shaking his head helplessly.

This sister of his...

If she continued training like this, her body wouldn't be able to take it.

That drive was certainly commendable, but the path of Martial Dao emphasized a balance of tension and relaxation; blindly pushing oneself would only lead to the opposite of the desired effect.

"It seems I'll have to advise my sister later."

He thought to himself.

Afterward, Qin Yan chatted casually about a few matters with the association officials.

The officials were also tactful, knowing that Qin Yan's return this time was primarily to spend time with his family.

Being able to come once, get on familiar terms, and receive Medicinal Pills was already a great harvest.

Staying any longer would instead disturb the siblings' reunion.

The group filed out, and the training room door closed once again.

Only the two siblings remained in the room.

Qin Yan turned and walked over to Qin Xiaoxi's side.

She didn't stop, still maintaining the Stance Training posture.

Fine beads of sweat had already broken out on her forehead.

Qin Yan continued to guide his sister's stance work.

Time flew by during the morning's training.

Of course, during this period, Qin Yan also took the opportunity to counsel his sister.

He told her that Cultivation wasn't something achieved overnight and explained the principle that haste makes waste.

The body is the foundation; if one ruins their health through overtraining, the losses would outweigh the gains.

A true powerhouse doesn't rely on a momentary burst of desperation, but on persistence accumulated day by day.

Hearing this, his sister nodded seriously.
