Chapter 251

However, after the Holy Light entered Shen Xing's legs, it vanished completely, like a stone sinking into the sea.

"Um?"

The oracle priest frowned slightly, then continued waving his staff and chanting sacred prayers.

He unleashed the ' Divine Grace Spell more than a dozen times in a row, the powerful Holy Light almost solidifying into a tangible form.

However... Shen Xing's legs still showed no reaction.

At this moment, everyone in the VIP room was somewhat stunned.

They glanced at Shen Xing, who was sitting in a wheelchair, then at Jiang Rong, who looked bewildered, and the oracle priest beside her, their expressions growing increasingly strange.

"Waaaaah... Waaaaah..."

Jiang Rong burst into tears again, curling up beside the coffee table with her knees drawn up to her chest, her voice trembling. "Even Cordelia can't cure him, I really have to change my name to Jiang Rongrong... Waaah..."

"I'll give it a try."

Zhang Yu strode forward, walked to Shen Xing's side, and then placed his large, calloused hands on Shen Xing's shoulders.

At that moment, Shen Xing felt a vast spiritual force surging into his body and flowing down his spine.

But the moment it entered her legs, it was like a stone sinking into the sea; she felt nothing at all.

Zhang Yu was stunned. After trying twice more, he finally withdrew his hand in despair.

"Your leg is really strange." He shook his head with a wry smile. "Forget it, I can't cure it anyway, so I won't bother you any longer."

"Then... shall we head out now?" Shen Xing asked tentatively, glancing then at the woman beside him who was weeping with her knees drawn up. "What about Senior Jiang Rong..."

Zhang Yu waved his hand, seemingly used to it. "Go ahead, don't worry, she'll be fine after crying for a while."

Then, Qin Lang pushed Shen Xing, with Xu Jiayi beside him, and the three of them walked out of the VIP room together.

The door closed, and the room fell silent for a moment, with only Jiang Rong's low sobs echoing in the background.

"Shen Xing's leg... even you personally couldn't heal it?" Elder Wang frowned slightly.

Zhang Yu shook his head. "This isn't a question of whether it can be cured or not."

"If I'm not mistaken, this isn't just a disability; it's more like some kind of curse."

Upon hearing the word 'curse,' Elder Wang's expression changed slightly.

Even Jiang Rong stopped crying and looked up with her big, watery eyes.

"Of course, it's also possible that our abilities are insufficient to treat this level of disability. Or perhaps there's some secret hidden within him," Zhang Yu added.

Elder Wang was silent for a moment, then chuckled softly, "That's not surprising."

"Over the years, there have been many players with special abilities. Shen Xing came from Common, yet he managed to take first place on both leaderboards. It would be strange if there weren't secrets behind it."

"Let's not discuss him anymore. Congratulations to the guild leader, you're about to gain another Overlord Rank general."

Zhang Yu shook his head. "It's still uncertain whether it will succeed. Even with the extra success rate boost, it's still less than 40%."

"However... if we succeed, the combat strength of my Flying Feather City will indeed be raised to another level."

He paused, then continued, "Have you finished compiling the information I gave you last time about the locations of the territories of top geniuses in various countries?"

"It's all sorted out." Elder Wang's expression turned slightly serious as he asked in a deep voice, "Should we release it now?"

"No rush." Zhang Yu shook his head. "We've been keeping an eye on those overseas websites lately. If anyone finds the location of Shen Xing's territory and tries to use it to cause him trouble..."

"Then let's release this entire document and everyone can flip the table."

"At worst, I'll bring Shen Xing to Flying Feather City, then personally take action and wipe out a bunch of their seeds. Let's see if these guys dare to cause trouble again."

He gazed out the window, a sharp aura rising within him, carrying a terrifying sense of oppression.

At this moment, Shen Xing and his two companions were strolling around the trading hall.

Recently, many new players have joined Jiangcheng, and the lobby is bustling with people, with the number of stalls increasing by another third.

However, most of the stalls didn't have anything good, or rather, given Shen Xing's current strength, these things were no longer of much use.

After browsing for about half an hour, Shen Xing finally bought two basic blueprints: [Level 2 Residential Building] and [Simple Toilet].

Xu Jiayi and Qin Lang also picked out a few purple gemstones.

"Let's go, let's go to Shen Xing's house, we'll study that Spirit Cultivation Manual together," Qin Lang said impatiently.

Shen Xing glanced at him. "Not going to River Moon Boat for some fun?"

"Cultivation is more important than being carefree," Qin Lang shook his head and said, "I'll order takeout later, and we can study while we eat."

Shen Xing smiled and agreed with his suggestion.

Next, they went to the open-air parking lot, preparing to summon their flying mounts to return to the community.

After a joint protest from Shen Xing and Xu Jiayi, Qin Lang finally gave up on the idea of summoning his inflatable hippo.

The three of them rode in Shen Xing's Fried Chicken back to the villa area.

Then he couldn't wait to close the door and start studying the manual.

Meanwhile, at a lakeside manor...

A young girl in a white dress, with her eyes closed and a serene smile on her face, sat quietly on the sofa.

A moment later, a tall, slender figure pushed open the door and entered.

A flowing black dress, long hair cascading down to her waist, and black Mary Jane shoes on her feet.

Her entire outfit, including her earrings, was black.

This outfit made her fair skin appear even more radiant and jade-like, giving her an air of mystery.

"Wanyin, I'm back." Xia Lingyin placed her black handbag on the shelf by the door and asked, "You just messaged me saying you had something important to discuss with me?"

The girl in the white dress turned her head, closed her eyes, and asked, "Sister Lingyin, do you still have any contribution points?"

"Contribution point?" The girl with long black hair and straight hair asked doubtfully, "How much do you want?"

"About... around 360,000."

"So many?" A hint of surprise appeared on the face of the woman with long, straight black hair. "What do you want to buy?"

"No," Xia Wanyin shook her head and said, "I bought something from a friend, and I haven't paid yet."

As she spoke, she took out a handbag from behind her back and emptied its contents.

Four orbs of light, each the size of a fist and radiating dazzling brilliance, appeared prominently.

Xia Lingyin sensed the soul fluctuations emanating from the ball of light, her pupils suddenly contracted, and she asked incredulously:

"These are... Leader Rank Soul, and there are so many!?"

"Mmm!" The girl in the white dress nodded gently. "Didn't you say you were trying to break through to the Master Realm and needed five Leader Rank troops in your territory? So I bought all these souls."

Xia Lingyin was silent for a moment, then asked with a complicated expression, "These... were all bought from that friend of yours? The one who gave you the 'Rain and Dew Pearl'?"

"Yes!" Xia Wanyin nodded again, "We did a super difficult mission together today, and we fought several terrifying monsters."

"But he did all the damage in front, and I just followed along fighting off some of the weaker monsters. I even had to shamelessly ask him for these souls, hehehe..."

The girl in the white dress grinned foolishly, her face showing a hint of embarrassment, but mostly happiness.

Xia Lingyin fell silent, standing in front of the sofa, looking at her younger sister with a strange expression.

She wasn't a newbie who had just entered the game; she knew how Rare and precious Leader Rank Soul were.

It's impossible for an ordinary person to obtain such high-level souls in one go, let alone be willing to sell them all.

"Wanyin, tell me honestly, who is this friend of yours?" Xia Lingyin.

The girl in the white dress looked somewhat embarrassed, her small hands gently twisting the hem of her skirt. "This... I can't say..."

Xia Lingyin remained silent for a moment, knowing she wouldn't get any answers from him.

This little sister may seem naive, but she's actually quite perceptive.

She had tried to subtly inquire about the identity of her friend in the game a few times before, but the other party immediately realized her suspicions and brushed her off.

So Xia Lingyin didn't ask any more questions and directly opened her phone and operated it.

"The contribution points have been transferred to your account, a total of 400,000. Please transfer them all to him as a small token of our appreciation."

"Great!" The girl in the white dress nodded happily. "Oh, right, Sister Lingyin, besides these soul fragments, there are two other things."

As she spoke, she spread her hands, and a dazzling golden light flashed.

Two bright yellow eyeballs, seemingly made of pure gold, are prominently displayed in your hand.

Golden Eye!

Xia Lingyin recognized the item and exclaimed, "That kind of Epic Rank treasure that only appears on some ancient creatures and can restore sight to the blind!"

She paused, then pressed, "Did he give this to you too?"

"Yes, yes!" Xia Wanyin nodded vigorously. "I originally wanted to give him money, but he refused to accept it, saying it was a thank-you gift for me."

Xia Lingyin took a deep breath, and her heaving chest gradually calmed down.

She didn't ask any more questions about her friend, but instead said seriously, "Since he gave it to you, just use it. It'll be good if it helps you recover your eyesight sooner. I'll find a way to repay him later."

You should know how to use it, right?

"Yes, I know."

The girl in the white dress nodded gently, then raised her two bright yellow eyes and pressed them against her eyelids.

"Buzz..."

Dazzling beams of light burst forth from the two stone pupils, even piercing through the walls of the hall and shooting out hundreds of meters.

Immediately afterwards, the stone pupil transformed into golden liquid, flowing down her eyelids and merging into her pupil, disappearing completely.

When Xia Wanyin opened her eyes, a dazzling golden light flashed and disappeared.

However, when the light faded, those pupils still retained the grayish-white color characteristic of blind people.

"How was it? Did you see it?" Xia Lingyin asked impatiently, even more excited than the person involved.

Xia Wanyin sensed it for a moment, then shook her head and said, "It doesn't seem like it will work..."

The woman in the black dress was stunned, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

She forced a smile and gently comforted her, "It's alright, Wanyin. The book says that this Golden Eye only has a certain probability of curing blindness; it's not 100% successful."

"Don't be discouraged, we have other ways. Your sister will definitely help you see the light again."

"I'm fine, Lingyin- nee, don't worry. I've gotten used to it all these years."

Xia Wanyin wasn't discouraged by the failure at all; instead, she smiled faintly, "Besides... this wasn't entirely fruitless. I seem to have awakened a special ability."
