Heavenly Ranking

Chapter 316 Refining
"Okay, payment settled."

After inspecting the source crystals newly delivered by Qin Zhenguo, the Martial Saint, Ji Fuyou nodded slightly to the group.

The president, along with several martial arts masters, also turned their attention to Ji Fuyou.

When they arrived, the martial saints were still thinking about what methods they could use to subdue Ji Fuyou.

At the very least, we must use our own strength to deter him and make him understand who truly calls the shots in the Federation.

But unexpectedly, in just a few hours...

Whether Ji Fuyou was convinced or not, they didn't know, but they...

However, he had truly realized the gap between himself and Ji Fuyou.

Even with the combined efforts of six people, they couldn't achieve anything against him...

The battle, in which Ji Fuyou's power seemed to have no limit, brought them an unprecedented mental shock.

Before they could close these gaps, they dared not, under any circumstances, muster the courage to challenge the floating season again.

"I hope to have the opportunity to invite Ji Wusheng to visit Tiandu City."

The president also said with a smile.

"There's a chance."

Ji Fuyou exchanged pleasantries.

After exchanging pleasantries, he personally escorted the president and his entourage to the entrance of the Tianbang Committee building.

They chatted and laughed along the way, creating a harmonious atmosphere.

In the distance, He Qilin, Feng Yulou, Xiao Jiuge, and the others, who had also come but were not even qualified to speak, watched this scene with complicated expressions.

"What is this... truly subduing the entire Federation single-handedly?"

Xiao Jiuge said in a low voice.

"Even the six Martial Saints are no match for him, what else can we do?"

In the Wind and Rain Tower: "When he killed Zhu Long, people thought he had achieved his final victory by sheer luck through the methods of a spiritual master. When he killed the Sun King and the Equal King... people only thought that the Equal King was at his last gasp and the Sun King was also somewhat exhausted. They acknowledged Ji Fuyou's strength as a Martial Saint, but they did not believe that he could truly rival the Federation! But as he officially defeated the six Martial Saints... all doubts should disappear, and the Federation should even be grateful."

He glanced in the direction of Ji Fuyou: "Fortunately, he doesn't have much ambition and no intention of overthrowing the federal government, otherwise... if he stormed into the Supreme Hall and went on a killing spree, seizing power by force, who could stop him?"

nobody.

The answer that Xiao Jiuge, He Qilin, Shen Jun and others couldn't help but come to mind.

If Ji Fuyou wants to overthrow the federal government, seize power by force, and take over for himself, no one can stop him.

"The current Martial Saint Ji is not only the number one Martial Saint in the Federation, but should also be the number one Martial Saint of Crimson Star!"

Shen Jun also whispered, "He has already surpassed everyone else and left all his competitors behind, becoming the undisputed number one martial artist!"

The number one martial artist!
Zuo Chunqiu was previously known as the number one martial artist in the Federation.

Zhao Changkong is also known as the Federation's Number One Martial Saint.

And after today...

This kind of debate will never exist again.

"Who would have thought that not long ago, he was just an ordinary person..."

He Qilin's face was bitter.

……

At the front of the team.

Ji Fuyou naturally didn't care about what He Qilin, Xiao Jiuge, and the others thought.

Even the thoughts of people like He Jinglan and Xiao Juechen are not very important to him now.

After exchanging pleasantries with the president and his entourage and seeing them off, he set off, taking a large number of Source Crystals, and returned to his residence.

Yang Kaitai, Xiao Hanxue, and Liu Yiren were already waiting there.

Ji Fuyou led them directly to his private reception room: "In this transaction, we obtained a total of 20 purple physique source crystals, 5 purple spirit source crystals, and 5 gold physique source crystals. These source crystals should be the total number of high-level source crystals collected by the Federation in the past 5 years."

The crowd looked at the source crystals, but there was little greed in their eyes.

She even deliberately looked away and turned her gaze to Ji Fuyou.

They were clearly waiting for him to make arrangements.

Xiao Hanxue exclaimed in a low voice, "So many... In the Spiritual Ability Association and the Martial Arts Association, not to mention purple spiritual source crystals, even purple physical source crystals have always been in short supply."

"Who would publicly share something truly good?"

Liu Yiren said, "The two associations claim to be fair and impartial, but these strategic resources are naturally given priority to the closest people and are used internally. Not a single bit will be leaked to outsiders."

Ji Fuyou nodded.

He didn't waste time.

For top-tier powers, Source Crystals are a valuable asset, something they can use to trade for precious resources in crucial moments. But for Ji Fuyou and his group…

They clearly haven't yet stored it away to serve as a foundation.

Use it when you need to.

He first addressed Fang Qiyun: "I need the golden physique source crystal and spirit source crystal now, so I won't give them to you. As for the purple physique source crystal..."

"Captain, you obtained all these things by exchanging the cultivation techniques you created. We have no objection to how you distribute them."

Fang Qiyun immediately expressed her opinion.

Yang Kaitai nodded in agreement: "We feel unworthy to receive such a valuable item from you."

"With increased strength, you will be able to do things for me better."

As Ji Fuyou spoke, he took out five of the purple physique source crystals: "I will take these five physique source crystals to refine. As for the remaining 15... Fang Qiyun, take 10 of them and quickly raise your physique value to over 40. In this way, your vitality will also increase to over 500. The remaining five are for Xiaoxue."

He glanced at Xiao Hanxue: "These 5 Body Source Crystals can basically boost your body stats to the critical point of Martial Saint."

"Thank you Captain."

Xiao Hanxue and Fang Qiyun both agreed at the same time.

"You two will temporarily help protect the Dharma."

Ji Fuyou turned to Yang Kaitai and Liu Yiren.

"it is good."

The two nodded. They felt no resentment whatsoever.

They firmly believed that as long as Ji Fuyou continued to grow, they would never lack spiritual and physical source crystals in the future.

At that moment, Fang Qiyun and Xiao Hanxue each went to find their own rooms.

Ji Fuyou also entered his cultivation room.

Looking at these source crystals in my hand...

"Only by refining these source crystals and further enhancing my life force can I truly be called invincible and truly be able to do whatever I want. Otherwise, if the martial saints of the Federation, Black Gold, and Griffin Kingdoms all come at me at once, I may still be surrounded and killed."

Ji Fuyou thought to himself.

At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the powerful being in his dream who cleaved the heavens with a sword...

"He'll show up again... right?"

He asked himself this question.

"If one day I fail and cannot withstand that star-devouring monster, you will stand up and block that monster... saving Crimson Star from the brink of destruction..."

Thoughts flow.

His hands moved with remarkable speed.

One by one, the purple physique source crystals were rapidly refined.

As the purple physique source crystal was continuously refined, his "vitality" gradually began to rise.

In reality, the purple physique crystal has very little effect on Ji Fuyou now.

Just like the first one he refined, it only increased his physical strength value from 41.4 to 41.8, an increase of only 0.4.

After all five purple physique source crystals were refined, his physique value was only raised to 42.7, which is still less than 43!

43 is the average physical strength of people like Xiao Juechen and Zhao Changkong.

Among them, Zuo Chunqiu's physique score should all be 44 points!
God knows how many purple physique source crystals he refined during that less than one attribute increase from 43 to nearly 44 points.

But let's estimate...

No fewer than 30!
To gain even a single point of attribute increase, 30 purple physique source crystals were invested...

This is the difference in foundation.

……

"I can't be like Zuo Chunqiu and his ilk, investing 10, 20, or even 30 purple physique source crystals for just 1 point of attribute improvement... With each crystal only increasing attributes by 0.1, using more purple physique source crystals would break my heart! I'd even feel guilty, like I'm wasting resources..."

Ji Fuyou shook his head.

He took out a purple spiritual crystal.

After refining this Spirit Source Crystal, Ji Fuyou's spirit value also successfully climbed to 39.9.

The remaining power seemed to be able to guide his spiritual energy, enabling him to complete a deeper transformation.

but……

Ji Fuyou stopped.

He wasn't confident he could take that step.

And if they fail, they suffer a severe mental blow, and it will take at least one or two months to recover.

He can't afford to waste such a long time.

"It's not too late to try for the Spiritual Saint when we're confident enough to go all out."

Ji Fuyou turned his attention to the five most precious golden physique source crystals.

This source crystal contains the remnant will of the great being who created the Heavenly Ranking and even the Mystic Beasts of the Mist.

It was precisely because of this will that three Martial Saints went mad, which deterred later generations from taking risks, thus leaving behind a total of five golden physique source crystals.

Otherwise, given the preciousness of such resources, they would have been squandered by these martial saints long ago.

Someone like Zuo Chunqiu, the number one martial artist in the Federation, wouldn't have a physical strength cap of only 44 points; he'd probably have stacked it up to 49 points.

"Having mastered divine strength, I can barely extinguish the remaining will within it. Not only have I mastered divine strength, but my mental strength has also climbed to the threshold of a mental saint. There shouldn't be any problems..."

Ji Fuyou took a deep breath.

The next moment, the energy of the golden physique source crystal was immediately drawn into the body.

Almost the instant he introduced the energy of this golden physique source crystal, his entire being, whether physical, mental, or even soul-level, seemed to be suddenly elevated to an unprecedented perspective.

Through this perspective...

He saw a figure!
A statue so magnificent it is bathed in starlight...

Do not!
That's not starlight!
That's the fire of a star!

Each ray of light is like a sun, radiating a dazzling brilliance that illuminates the entire starry sky.

And at the very center of all this glory is a figure so great that no words can describe it!
The moment he looked directly at that figure, an unprecedented joy, emotion, and ecstasy filled his heart.

It was a joy that was impossible to describe, a feeling that touched the very core of one's being.

When "He" was truly witnessed by this insignificant mortal, everything in the world seemed to find its own meaning—to worship Him!

For Him, I would give everything.

In the face of such greatness, nothing in the material world matters anymore.

Identity, status, power, relatives, friends, emotions...

All of them are so insignificant that they are practically the most basic releases of neural signals.

He only wanted to dedicate everything, to use the meaning of his entire life to praise His holiness and proclaim His greatness.

Lost in thought, Ji Fuyou seemed to forget that he was refining source crystals.

They forgot their own philosophy of "cultivating one's own virtue when poor, and helping others when successful."

They even forgot the promises and vows he had made.

They succumbed completely to this worship of the great...

And I hope it will continue like this forever.

Eternal and unchanging.
