While Shen Mu was immersed in cultivation, Luo Feng, far away in Jiangnan Base City, leaped out of the Nutrient Pod.
As his Earthling body rose to the ninth rank of Planetary Level, the amount of spiritual force Luo Feng could withstand naturally increased as well.
Vast spiritual force surged from the soul within his Primal Nucleus, instantly breaking through a certain limit before continuing to soar until it reached the limit of the first rank of Star-Level.
"Luo Feng, congratulations on becoming humanity's first Star-Level powerhouse. You were even faster than Shen Mu!" Babata cackled as she appeared beside Luo Feng.
Luo Feng rubbed his nose. "My soul realm reached the Star-Level long ago. It was only that an Earthling body couldn't withstand such immense spiritual force. With the Nutrient Pod's help this time, breaking through to Star-Level was only natural."
Babata said excitedly, "Now that you've broken through to Star-Level, you can inherit your teacher's five-star account at Cosmic Galaxy Bank. You'll never lack money again!"
Luo Feng was somewhat curious as well. "How much wealth did Teacher leave me?"
Babata said, "A lot. But at the Star-Level, you can only inherit 10 billion Qianwu Coins in cash."
"Ten billion Qianwu Coins can probably be exchanged for three million Cosmic Coins. That still isn't enough to buy that legendary Domain Lord-Level Bloodline Evolution Potion, is it?"
Babata snorted. "What the hell do you know? What kind of money is 10 billion Qianwu Coins? As long as you inherit your teacher's account, I can sell off some treasures. Anyway, you definitely won't be short on money from now on."
After being lectured by Babata, Luo Feng merely smiled. "Of course I don't know as much as you do, Babata. I'll notify Brother Hong and the others now, then we'll head into the universe together."
On April 1st, 2060, the Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship departed Earth once more, heading straight for Biyan Star, the nearest prosperous planet to Earth.
Biyan Star was the core planet of several elementary civilization nations near the Silverblue Empire. In terms of importance, it was even more significant than the Imperial Capital Stars of those elementary civilization empires.
However, in terms of prosperity, Biyan Star was merely the trade center of several dozen nearby star systems, far inferior to Qiulong Star. Still, branches of the five peak powers were stationed there as well.
After arriving at Bilan Star, Shen Mu and the others headed straight for Cosmic Galaxy Bank in the core city.
The entrance to Cosmic Galaxy Bank was shrouded in a faint, flowing glow. Passing through that "stream" would take one directly into the main hall.
Babata's voice rang in the ears of Shen Mu and the other two. "I'll take Luo Feng to handle the procedures first. Wait here for a moment."
Shen Mu nodded slightly, then waited in the rest area with Hong and Thunder God.
A moment later, a fat man who looked like a bank manager hurried toward Shen Mu and the others.
"Esteemed guests, I am the manager of Cosmic Galaxy Bank's Biyan Star branch. We have been remiss in receiving you. Please follow me to the VIP room."
The fat manager kept his head lowered, not even daring to look at Shen Mu and the others.
"What's going on...?" Thunder God was somewhat baffled and looked toward Shen Mu.
Shen Mu sent a voice transmission to Hong and Thunder God. "The bank account Luo Feng is using is his teacher's five-star account. The manager here doesn't have the authority to serve him, so he came over to curry favor with us."
Since they could go to the VIP room, Shen Mu and the others naturally had no desire to remain in the crowded service hall.
After the fat manager led them to the VIP room, Luo Feng entered about ten minutes later. His expression was still somewhat blank from the shock he had just received.
"Brother Mu, Babata sold the treasures, and the money has already arrived. There are too many people here. Let's go back and talk."
Hearing Luo Feng's words, Shen Mu was somewhat surprised as well.
In Shen Mu's view, selling Spirit Weapons should have required conducting the transaction with at least a World Lord-Level expert. They should only have received the money after the goods had been inspected.
"Alright, let's leave the bank." Shen Mu nodded slightly, and the four brothers quickly departed Cosmic Galaxy Bank.
A moment later, the Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship took off from Biyan Star, heading for the capital planet of the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield. They would need to travel through a wormhole along the way, and the journey would take roughly two months.
"I was completely stunned at the time. I never expected those dozen or so weapons and sets of armor to sell for 42,000 Chaos Units."
Inside the spacecraft's main hall, Luo Feng recounted his experience at Cosmic Galaxy Bank to Shen Mu and the other two.
Babata's figure appeared, her face full of pride. "Luo Feng, you don't understand. Those were the weapons and armor of an Undying God—genuine Spirit Weapons. Even the most ordinary ones cost more than 1,000 Chaos Units."
"What a pity that the Lu Kong Rings Boss used himself were completely damaged and lost while he was fleeing for his life. Even Undying Gods desperately coveted that top-tier weapon. You'd have to sell the entire Black Dragon Mountain Starfield just to afford it."
Shen Mu nodded, then said, "I can understand the price of Spirit Weapons. The only thing I don't understand is how they could be sold directly."
Babata burst out laughing. "Shen Mu, so there are things even you don't understand! Spirit Weapons may be precious, but to Cosmic Galaxy Bank, they're nothing. The intelligent system can determine their value with a scan and buy them back directly."
Thunder God spoke softly. "Can I ask how much 42,000 Chaos Units actually is?"
Shen Mu explained, "One trillion Cosmic Coins is one Chaos Unit. Forty-two thousand Chaos Units are enough to buy thousands of star systems."
After he finished speaking, Babata spoke again. "Now, I'll distribute these 42,000 Chaos Units."
"First, Hong and Thunder God, the two of you are only Registered Disciples. Strictly speaking, you aren't qualified to inherit the estate. But circumstances are different now, so you'll each receive 1,000 Chaos Units."
"Don't think that's too little. An ordinary Undying's entire fortune is only around 10,000 Chaos Units. Those who have just entered the Undying realm only have a few hundred to one thousand Chaos Units on them."
Naturally, Hong and Thunder God had no objections. Both of them had strong values. Giving them this money was a kindness; if they were not given any, they would have nothing to say.
As for the remaining 40,000 Chaos Units, Shen Mu and Luo Feng split them evenly. In an instant, their account levels at Cosmic Galaxy Bank were upgraded to four-star customers.
"I've transferred the money to all of you. Don't spend it recklessly. A few hundred million Cosmic Coins is small change, but if the amount exceeds one Chaos Unit, it would be best to discuss it with me first," Babata instructed them worriedly.
Shen Mu nodded slightly. "I suggest we first buy a D-class spacecraft. It only costs a few hundred billion Qianwu Coins."
"No problem. This Black Dragon Mountain Spaceship is still too slow." Babata naturally had no objections.
Luo Feng also said, "Let's buy some Cosmic-Level slaves too. We're still too weak. Without Cosmic-Level powerhouses guarding us, someone might set their sights on us."
"That makes sense!"
