I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"Hey?"

Xu Ren's calm voice came through the receiver: "The matter is resolved."

"Sui Xiuqing, the deputy director of the logistics department, personally went to the 'Special Materials Management Office' and approved the application to transfer the divine relics on the spot..."

"The process is now complete, and the item should be in your hands tomorrow or the day after."

Upon hearing this, Xue Jing nodded.

As expected of Young Haru A-Meng, her methods are powerful and her efficiency is high.

After thinking for a moment, he asked, "What's the reaction from the Zhu family?"

Xu Ren said, "No, it seems that Zhu Xuanli knew the result in advance and didn't go to the special items department at all."

"That's it..."

After chatting with Xu Ren for a few more minutes, Xue Jing hung up the phone.

"These four thousand divine essences are finally in our hands."

He relaxed slightly.

After obtaining [True Martial Arts] and learning that extraordinary skills also require divine upgrades, the importance of divinity in his mind increased several notches.

These four thousand divine essences are enough to significantly boost his current combat power.

As a result, he became increasingly displeased with the Bamboo Clan for preventing him from attaining divinity.

"Although it is said that a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, ten years is too long, and I don't really want to be a gentleman... I still need to find an opportunity to annoy them first."

Xue Jing pondered.

Although the Zhu family is one of the thirteen powerful families, it is a behemoth that he cannot currently touch.

However, according to Haru A-Meng, as long as she is there, Takeshi will not use direct force against him.

Then there's a lot that can be done...

Lost in thought, Xue Jing returned to the training room and continued to teach Zong Shichan martial arts.

Another day has passed.

Around 3 p.m., Xue Jing sat on the sofa in the living room with her sleeping cat curled up on her lap, while an animated series called "The Safe Things in My Heart" was playing on the TV.

I was engrossed in watching "I'm at Peace" when the doorbell suddenly rang.

With a thought, Xue Jing activated his mental energy and visualized the scene outside the door in his mind.

Standing outside the door was Ning Yuantai, who was carrying a metal box in each hand.

Upon seeing this, Xue Jing perked up, gently picked up the cat in his arms, walked to his room, and placed it on his bed.

Then they went to the living room and opened the front door.

"Yuan Tai, why are you delivering things again?" Xue Jing looked at Ning Yuan Tai and said with a smile.

Ning Yuantai first greeted Xue Jing respectfully, then walked in and said:

"It was originally sent by people from Baiya's side... but I stopped it when it arrived at Qingcheng Base."

He placed the two boxes on the table and scratched his head:

"My main concern is that the people from White Crow aren't very reliable. What if they lose it for you..."

Xue Jing stroked his chin, smiled, and teased, "I think you just want to freeload a meal here."

Ning Yuantai was a little embarrassed: "...I can't hide it from you at all."

Xue Jing patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, you'll get your share of the meal. You'll eat here tonight."

Ning Yuantai rubbed his hands together and said happily, "Thank you so much!"

After saying that, he sat down in a chair, fiddled with the two metal boxes on the table, and opened them all.

"Brother Xue, this is the reward the authorities gave you..."

Xue Jing sat down on the sofa and looked up.

There are four items in each of the two boxes.

In one of the boxes, there was a worn-out ancient bronze coin, a plastic bottle with the words "Clean Freak Treasure" written on it, a golden crucible embroidered with strange patterns, and a pink eraser that looked to be about a third used up.

In the other box were a pair of beautiful jade earrings, a white paper doll the size of a palm, a handful of straw, and something that looked like a digital watch.

"[GOD-652 Five Emperor Coins] [GOD-662 Obsessive-Compulsive Cleanser] [GOD-1399 The Cauldron for Boiling Happiness] [GOD-1474 Eraser]..."

"[GOD-705·Two Undoubted Entities] [GOD-1408·Paper Doll] [GOD-1489·Straw Millionaire] [GOD-771·Proof of Love]..."

Xue Jing recited the names of these divine relics one by one, as if they were his own treasures.

"I never expected to be able to touch so many divine relics at once... It's like a dream."

He wiped away non-existent drool from the corner of his mouth and said excitedly.

Seeing his unusually composed and steady demeanor, which was quite different from his usual self, Ning Yuantai was taken aback for a moment, and then exclaimed:

"You really like divine relics, Brother Xue."

Xue Jing didn't hear what he was saying at all; his mind was completely focused on the divine relic in front of him.

He reached out and picked up the worn-out ancient coin.

[Divine matter detected; absorbing divinity...]

"【Five Emperor Coins】...This thing is said to be able to be used for true 'fortune telling'...but it requires a certain level of understanding of the I Ching from the user."

He then picked up a jade earring from another box.

[Divine matter detected; absorbing divinity...]

Xue Jing glanced at the panel, and the rate at which the divinity was increasing suddenly accelerated, indicating that it was possible to absorb the divinity of two divine relics at the same time.

"【Two Undoubted Beliefs】...As long as these earrings are worn on the left and right ears of two people respectively, the two people can only tell each other the truth. They cannot even mislead each other with 'lies that are all true', nor can they tell one part of the story while concealing another. They can only tell the truth from the bottom of their hearts without reservation."

"【Straw Millionaire】..."

Xue Jing recited the functions of the divine relics while holding them all in his arms and touching them to his body.

The panel notifications kept ringing, and the divinity value was skyrocketing at an unprecedented rate.

[Divinity absorption complete]

[Divinity absorption complete]

[Divine absorption...]

After all eight notifications indicating that the divine essence had been absorbed appeared, Xue Jing looked at the panel again.

[Possesses Divinity: 5137]!

……

Chapter 197 Shadowflame Lv7, Shadow Leap, Concealment Lv1, Assassin Template Activated! (4K)

The eight divine relics awarded by the organization brought Xue Jing more than 4,200 divine income, which, combined with what he already had, brought the total to more than 5,000!

Inside the Roaring Falls, he slaughtered all the dragons in the border region and even killed the Dragon God. He risked his life to earn only six thousand divinity.

Now I can sit at home and enjoy the breeze and earn over four thousand yuan. It's incredibly comfortable.

The only regret is that none of the eight divine relics triggered any new divine skills.

Xue Jing placed all the divine relics on the table, in an extremely good mood, his brain almost overwhelmed by dopamine.

"Hmm... this can actually be considered a follow-up gain from this trip to the borderlands. So, I earned 10,000 divine essences from this trip to the borderlands?"

Xue Jing touched his chin.

"It seems that the priority of border-related missions on the White Raven side needs to be increased in the future... However, it is still unclear whether every border area can yield rewards like 'Roaring Waterfall'."

"After all, this is a borderland that has been reflected and merged by the [Mirror World]... Perhaps the reason why that pure-blooded dragon and its offspring were able to unleash so much divinity is simply because of 'reflection and fusion'?"

"This needs further verification."

Lost in thought, Xue Jing reached for the Five Emperors Coins on the table and tossed them up with his thumb as if playing with them.

The Five Emperor Coins spun and flew into the air, then suddenly split into five, transforming into five coins of different colors: white, blue, black, red, and yellow. They clattered and fell onto the table.

Upon closer inspection, Xue Jing noticed that, without exception, all five coins were facing forward.

"I don't know much about fortune telling... Yuan Tai, do you know anything about it? What do you think of this divination?"

He asked Ning Yuantai, who was standing next to him.

Ning Yuantai looked embarrassed by his sudden question and had no choice but to pick up his phone and search for it on the spot.

Xue Jing chuckled: "I was just asking casually, I don't necessarily need you to answer."

Ning Yuantai looked at the information he found on his phone and compared it with the appearance of the five copper coins on the table, and exclaimed in surprise:

“Brother Xue, this seems to be the ‘Star Zhen Hexagram,’ the best hexagram ever.”

Xue Jing laughed heartily: "Oh? Then I guess I'm about to take off."

"The divination results obtained from the Five Emperors Coins are very valuable. It seems you're having a lucky streak lately," Ning Yuantai complimented.

……

Around five o'clock, Xue Jing prepared a very large dinner, so much so that the table was almost overflowing with several large plates piled high.

However, it was clearly not enough to satisfy the two martial artists' huge appetites and top-notch digestive abilities. Once again, Ning Yuantai ate all the food clean.

After waking up, the cat came out of the room and saw that the dinner had been eaten, and its anger flared up instantly.

After learning that it was that same Ning who had come to steal her dinner, Maomao harbored a deep grudge against him.

Xue Jing was too lazy to cook again, so he cooked instant noodles for her, but to comfort her, he added two extra sausages this time.

Ning Fengwan slurped her noodles with tears in her eyes, vowing that she would not rest until she avenged this grudge, and that she would make that Ning fellow pay.

After she finished eating her noodles, Xue Jing picked up the bottle on the table that looked like shower gel called "Clean Freak Treasure," opened the cap, patted his thigh, and smiled at the cat:

"Come on, come on."

"What?" the cat asked in confusion, and with a few leaps, it landed on Xue Jing's lap and squatted down.
