Of course, while titanium crystals are precious, merely thirty pieces would not be enough to exchange for a blue oddity. However, it was the old man’s joy that led him to subsidize a portion of it. Nonetheless, Song Qi and the other two genuinely benefited significantly. Consequently, their impression of their Fourth Brother, Song Chi, also improved significantly.

After some idle chatter, the crowd quickly lost interest in the newcomer Song Chi, their gazes intermittently drifting toward the corner on the right side at the front row of the screening room.

Song Chi was somewhat curious, and his gaze unintentionally swept in that direction several times. Before the exploration video had finished, he noticed that many people unconsciously glanced over there, and the situation became more obvious after the video ended. Even Song Qi, Song Lin, and others were no exception, which made him curious.

Soon, he understood the reason.

In the corner on the right side of the front row, a young girl in a light blue dress sat quietly. She seemed to have a special, otherworldly aura about her, attracting attention without saying a word, compelling people to unconsciously focus on her.

Song Chi was curious about her identity, instinctively feeling that she was no ordinary person.

The identities of the young people present were all extraordinary, each with at least one Second Rank elder backing them. Yet, she could remain so unaffected, even entirely ignoring the attention.

Song Chi could tell that this young girl was genuinely indifferent, not feigning a disinterested facade.

With such an extraordinary demeanor and treating the gazes of many of her peers as if they were nothing, her background could not be simple.

Just then, a young man approached the girl, smiling and wearing an exquisitely tailored outfit, and said softly to her,

“Miss Bai He, I know of a very upscale ocean park in Baita City. If you’re interested, why not join us for a visit?”

Seeing him, Song Chi immediately recalled relevant information.

He was the legitimate son of the head of First Torch Academy in Jiangyuan City. Four years ago, he awakened the blue Seed of Torch. Recognized as a prodigy throughout the White Tower Floating Land and with a Third Rank father backing him, he was considered one of the top young masters there.

As he was pondering, he suddenly heard Song Ting teasing him.

“Song Chi, don’t even think about it. That person is the distinguished girl from Grandma’s main family. It is said that she awakened a purple Seed of Torch.”

Song Chi’s eyes narrowed slightly, and his thoughts racing, he quickly realized the truth. With the powerful background of the Bai Family and her frightening talent for Torch cultivation, everything made sense.

He remembered hearing his parents chatting casually that his grandmother, Bai Xiuqin, came from the Bai Family Clan, a very powerful Torch family in the Duchy Capital Star Domain with a heritage said to span thousands of years, far beyond what any family from a Level 1 Floating Land like White Tower could compare with.

While he was still contemplating, he heard Song Ting’s teasing voice again.

“Song Chi, if you dare to have any crooked thoughts, I’ll go tell Sister-in-law Yōran, and we’re just in time for my uncle’s family to be in Jiangyuan City as well. Right after the birthday feast, we’ll head there together!”

Song Chi turned his head and glared at her, saying irritably,

“Come with me!”

Song Ting immediately shrank back and hid behind Song Shishi.

“Planning to abuse your lovely sister, Song Chi, you’re inhumane!!”

Song Chi’s expression darkened, and even Song Shishi, who was standing between them, was somewhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

…

In the backyard of the Fierce Lion Courtyard, Song Shishi was constantly flipping the shiny pieces of meat on the barbecue grill. As the roasting time increased, the originally fragrant aroma of the meat became even richer.

On the side, the usually highly cautious Song Ting had already turned into a good girl.

“Brother, what kind of meat is this? It smells so good!”

Swallowing her saliva, Song Ting asked in a sweet, coquettish tone, causing Song Chi to feel somewhat uncomfortable.

“Don’t ask, just know that it’s very beneficial for those of you who haven’t yet awakened your Seed of Torch.”

These choice cuts of meat were naturally the share Song Chi got from the Queen Insect, the kind with a trace of Third Rank source energy. For people like Song Ting, who had yet to awaken, this kind of Insect Race meat with raw energy was extremely beneficial. It could significantly speed up their progress with the Guidance Technique.

Of course, what Song Chi brought out was only a part, a total of forty pounds from the Queen Insect, split half and half with Shen Qing. What he took out now was only five pounds.

It wasn’t that he was reluctant to share more, but for the few people like Song Ting with Guidance Technique levels no higher than LV3, one pound each was enough, since their digestive capabilities were limited. Eating too much would only be a waste.

When the meat was nearly cooked, Song Chi called over a few people close to him.

This time, there were only four people he invited—his second uncle’s son, Song Bo, his fourth uncle’s children, Song Shishi and Song Ming, plus Song Ting.

All four of them had yet to awaken their Seed of Torch; the eldest, Song Shishi, was only 27 and had just recently advanced to LV3 in Guidance Technique. She was the most suitable to take advantage of the Queen Insect’s meat.

Seeing Song Chi’s gesture, none of them were polite and began to eat in small bites.

Five pounds of meat, one pound per person, left one last pound he intended to taste himself.

But at this moment, footsteps came from behind.

“Eating behind my back, Four, have our feelings faded!!”

Recognizing the voice as Song You’s, Song Chi had no choice but to suppress his craving and gave up the last pound of meat.

“You’ve been awakened for several months now, yet you’re still coveting the little bit I have in my hand.”

Ignoring the roll of the eyes from Song Chi, Song You took over the meat and started to gnaw on it promptly.

With a hint of anticipation in his eyes, Song Chi stood to one side, watching the five of them.

The meat, imbued with a trace of Third Rank power from the Queen Insect, no matter only a pound, should contain sufficient pure energy to be greatly beneficial for all five of them.

A few minutes later, after finishing the roast, their reactions were highly consistent, as each began to practice the Guidance Technique on the spot.

Over time, fluctuations of vital energy emanated from one after another.

The first to experience a surge of vital energy was Song Ting. She had already reached the peak of LV1 in the Guidance Technique thanks to ten Intermediate Body Tempering Potions and was on the threshold of LV2. The energy from the Queen Insect’s meat seemed to give her a push from behind, allowing her, who was already at the door of LV2, to break through that barrier.

After advancing to LV2, some of the gentle energy in her body remained, which further pushed her progress along the path of LV2. It can be imagined that with diligence, it shouldn’t take long for her Guidance Technique to break through to LV3.

Following Song Ting was Song Ming, who was two years younger than her and also at LV1 in the Guidance Technique. With the gentle energy from the Queen Insect’s meat, he successfully advanced to LV2.

Then came Song Bo from the second uncle’s family, who had been stuck at LV2 for a year and directly advanced to LV3.

Song Shishi had just recently advanced to LV3, so this time, her Guidance Technique did not break through to LV4. However, she reached the limit of LV3, and with nearly three years left until graduation, she clearly has the chance to advance to LV4 before awakening her Torch, which would significantly improve her success rate in subsequent awakenings.

As for the last, Song You, he had awakened a few days earlier than Song Chi, and had recently advanced to LV4 in the Guidance Technique, thanks to the Ghost Energy Cultivation Platform on the Torch Warship. Naturally, it was impossible for him to break into LV5 right now.

However, these pounds of Queen Insect’s meat were not to be underestimated. They saved him at least half a year of arduous cultivation, and it is estimated that in a few more months, he should be able to reach LV5.

Seeing this, Song Chi nodded in satisfaction. It was clear that the Queen Insect’s meat was indeed effective, and it was worth sharing.

As the five of them celebrated, Song Chi suddenly issued a warning:

“Find a good excuse for yourselves, don’t mention this meat, and certainly don’t say it came from me, understand?”

Song You was puzzled.

“Four, isn’t this a good thing? You’re helping us, why keep it a secret?”
