Krune had thought about it before.
Spiritual Energy Meridians made the Spiritual Energy absorbed compatible with the user straight away.
Elemental Meridians went a step further and converted some of the Spiritual Energy into Elemental Source Energy.
So Krune thought that perhaps, his Elemental meridians could evolve once more and convert the Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy.
But he also noticed a problem here. According to Uncle Feng, comprehension about laws is necessary for the conversion of Elemental Source Energy into Chaos Energy. Since that is the case, Krune definitely won't be able to try anything new before he reaches a realm high enough to start touching them.
'I will need to reach the Soul Forging Realm first, it seems.'
Uncle Feng then said.
"Alright, this is it for now. Feifei, you should try to create the Spiritual Energy Meridians and the Elemental Meridians as soon as possible. It will be very beneficial in your realm."
He then turned to Krune.
"As for you, what do you want from us in exchange for this technique?"
Krune was taken aback, but he soon recovered and shook his head.
"I want nothing. If Feifei hadn't saved me back then, there would be no Myriad Energies Technique. The same goes for you, Uncle Feng. If you hadn't given me the standard version of the technique, there would still be nothing in the end."
"I have long since decided that once I met you again, I would pass the technique over. Whether you want to keep it a secret or pass it to your clan, it changes nothing for me."
Uncle Feng heard that and sighed.
"This technique's worth is immeasurable. I can't just take it like that, especially now that it is so beneficial for Feifei."
Feifei also nodded.
"That is correct. Although I'm your wife to be, we are still the ones receiving a lot here. Sure, I saved your life back there, but that doesn't mean that I will take advantage of you. Think carefully, there should be something that can pay you back. Also, don't worry, I will not pass this technique to anyone."
Uncle Feng nodded.
"Same thing here. In fact, to bring it out would sooner or later lead to your existence. Before you can defend yourself, I have no intention of putting Feifei's loved one at risk."
Krune couldn't help but feel a little emotional. Not because he wouldn't divulge the technique. But the fact that It was the first time Uncle Feng recognized him as Feifei's partner.
"Well, the fact is that I can't think about anything I want at the moment. I could say spirit stones, but in the end, this isn't a problem that I can't resolve myself with time."
Krune thought for a while and then asked.
"I'm intending to make a set of 38 flying shields to use during my missions. The guy in the Blacksmith Hall said that he is going to use Spring Spiritual Ore to make Peak Silver Stars Shields. Is there a better ore that I can use? It has to be able to hold all kinds of elements and Tribulation lighting. Of course, if you don't have anything, then just forget it."
Uncle Feng started to think. Although he isn't a blacksmith, he at least has knowledge about rare materials. After all, the worst thing to happen would be to pass by something valuable without noticing its value.
"I think... I might have something good for that. If fact, this is a Golden Star Material, but it can be used to create a Silver Star equipment as well. It's just that it would be considered quite a waste. Of course, shields made of this ore would be much sturdier and better at holding elements. As for your Tribulation Lightning, I reckon it will find it very natural to be conducted inside."
Uncle Feng then took a small purple ore out.
As soon as it appeared, Krune felt the familiar power of Tribulation Lighting coming from it.
"This thing here is called Tribulation Ore. As the name implies, it is made through the use of Tribulation Lightning. It appears during the heavenly Tribulation of a Soul Forging Realm cultivator or above. In fact, I believe that your Sect also has it. It's just that Golden Star Materials are not given for free. Usually, you have to provide the materials or buy them with the Merit Points."
Krune's eyes immediately lit up. He could feel the compatibility of his Tribulation Lightning and that ore. Without a doubt, his combat prowess would be much higher if his shields were made with them.
"That is perfect! Thank you!"
Uncle Feng nodded.
"As I said, it is quite a waste to use it to make a peak silver star equipment. Still, with your future prospects, it shouldn't be a problem if you use them for it now. Whether you are going to do it or not, it's up to you, though."
He then took quite a few more of them out and asked.
"Is this enough to create all 38 flying shields?"
Krune immediately confirmed.
"Yes, yes! That is even more than enough."
Krune then put all the ores inside his spatial ring. He was very happy at the moment. He didn't want anything in exchange, this part was true. But since they insisted, he won't be polite.
Suddenly, Uncle Feng looked in a specific direction and said.
"Seems like your Master is here."
Sure enough, a few seconds later, Lucio appeared inside Krune's house.
"Why did you tell him? It is no fun when he already knows that I'm going to appear."
Krune heard that, and his mouth twitched.
"Old geezer, since when did the Sect Master become someone with so much free time?"
Lucio ignored Krune's question and said.
"Anyway, why are you guys here? This rainbow guy is my disciple, you know?"
Krune's rage almost reached the roof after that comment.
Uncle Feng just shook his head and pointed at Feifei.
"The two love birds wanted to see each other without the flies sent by the Wang Clan bothering them. So I gave Feifei a little help to slip by the grand elder."
Krune's rage immediately deflated like a balloon after hearing Uncle Feng's answer, and even Feifei got a little red after that.
Lucio then nodded.
"Oh, that's good. I reckon that you aren't against their relationship, right?"
Uncle Feng also nodded.
"I'm not. But I won't lie either. Until the day that I arrived and saw his improvement with my own eyes, I was still against it. Fortunately, I did not try anything to stop it, and I'm happy about that."
Lucio then laughed.
"It's already very good if Feng the Crazy recognizes my disciple. I might as well tell you this: I won't give Krune to the Wang Clan, but I don't care whether Feifei marries into my Sect or not either. If she wants, she can still be part of the Wang Clan even after it. All I want to see is Wang Xin's face when he finds out that his daughter fell in love with my disciple. Hahaha!"
Uncle Feng heard that and sighed.
"You are still holding onto that issue. It was something that happened while the two of you were young, you know? Is there any meaning in thinking about that now? Besides, what's the point in using Feifei for that?"
Krune and Feifei were as puzzled as they could be.
Lucio then shook his head and said.
"I have already forgotten about that issue, and I hold no grudge. First of all, the final decision could not be made by Wang Xin or me to start with. So I've never felt like I had to take revenge or anything."
Uncle Feng was taken aback.
"Then why-"
Before he could even answer, Lucio cut him off.
"But it doesn't mean that I don't feel anything either. My disciple having a relationship with his daughter just turned out to be a coincidence. I knew that Feifei was the reason that I noticed Krune, but I've never thought that they liked each other. I want to help him get the girl he loves, and if that will also break Wang Xin's leg, then why not? Haha!"
Krune was feeling a mix of rage and gratitude at the same time. Anger because he was being used like that, and appreciation since being used wasn't his Master's primary reason. His Master first wanted him to be with the girl he loves, and his use against Wang Xin turned out to be a side effect.
"Old geezer. Don't you think that it is already time for you to tell me what's going on?"
Lucio turned his head away and said.
"That's not for you to know."
Krune was just about to continue when suddenly, he received a Divine Sense message from Feifei.
"It would be quite a boring story if it didn't involve the Wang Clan's Head and the Divine Path Sect Master. I heard it from my mother, though. It seems like that back then, both my father and your Master liked her. But she still had chosen my dad in the end. That's what Lucio meant when he said that the final decision wasn't his or my father's. The final decision was obviously my mother's."
Krune finally understood what was going on, and he could help but sympathize a little with him. Still, it was due to that choice that Feifei is here today, so he can't deny that he is happy that she chose the Wang Clan Head in the end.
Feifei then continued.
"Of course, back then, my father was just a descendant of the Wang Clan while your Master was only a disciple of the Sect. Neither of then had any power whatsoever. I heard from my mother that the two of them had been rivals for a long time even before that event."
Krune nodded and then told Lucio.
"Old geezer, now I know why you are still unmarried."
Lucio almost fainted!
"Now then, aren't you the brave one to spill it on my face?"
Krune didn't care, though.
"Hmph! So what? It's not like you don't say whatever you want, either. By the way, thank you for supporting me. I will give you this in exchange."
Krune then sent a message to Lucio's communicator.
When Lucio looked inside, he was puzzled.
"Myriad Energies Technique? What will I do with such a common technique?"
Krune then laughed.
"If you think this is nothing worth taking a look, then just delete the message."
Lucio narrowed his eyes but decided to take a look anyway.
"This!"
Krune then said.
"Just make sure to keep it as a secret for the moment. I don't want to attract the wolves too early."
