Chapter 1662: Wine Is the Old Hero! Arrival!

"Sister, thank you just now."

On the other side, Xu Jingming looked at the tall, graceful figure beside him and spoke his thanks.

He had just borrowed six million integration points at the auction a few days ago.

He never expected Ye Li had now poured ten million Starfire Points into backing him.

"You're my junior brother—who else would I help?"

"As for Luo Yi, he's used to bullying others with his connections; you don't need to care much."

Ye Li's pleasant voice rang out:

"But a tenfold leverage mission is truly not simple."

Based on your strength, the first phase should be easy to complete."

"But the first phase is only the beginning—the unknown missions afterward are the hardest."

"Sister, don't worry—I know what I'm doing."

Xu Jingming smiled, his eyes radiating strong confidence.

With the Deep Blue System, as long as he had enough Source Points,

he had full confidence to crush any mission.

"Good."

Seeing this, Ye Li said no more, "So when are you leaving for the Outer Battlefield?"

"In the next couple of days."

Xu Jingming replied with a grin.

"So soon?"

Ye Li was slightly surprised.

This return of Xu Jingming hadn't even lasted two months.

"I want to finish the mission as quickly as possible."

Xu Jingming grinned, then rubbed his hands together, asking with eager anticipation:

"Sister, do you have any extra Starfire Points? Could you lend me some?"

He was already in debt for six million integration points.

Ye Li had already bet ten million Starfire Points for him.

Why not borrow even more?

He wasn't about to miss a chance to make a profit and screw Luo Yi at the same time.

In the end, Xu Jingming borrowed fifteen million Starfire Points from Sister Ye Li.

He invested them all into the betting pool.

"Sister is the best!" Xu Jingming was in high spirits.

This was the advantage of having a sect—no matter what happened, someone had your back.

As for Luo Yi, he was merely a petty clown.

Once his strength improved, he'd simply crush him underfoot.

After placing his bets and returning from the Virtual Universe, Xu Jingming prepared to head to the Outer Battlefield's resources.

Due to the Demon Blood, all of Xu Jingming's academy integration points had been spent.

He didn't want to borrow more from Sister Ye Li, so he took a free meal.

Recovery and healing pills were all purchased by Lin Qianxue.

Once all equipment and pills were fully prepared,

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue left Star Dome Academy.

This time, Xu Jingming did not choose to ride the academy's dedicated spaceship—he departed alone.

The news of his departure to the Outer Battlefield was told only to Yue Ying, Ye Li, and Professor Shuangmian.

He didn't even use the Xinghen for the space voyage, but instead a previously unregistered spaceship.

Only after leaving the Star Dome Academy's star region did he switch back to the Xinghen.

The goal was to conceal his trail and avoid being targeted by alien races.

Two months later.

In the deep, boundless universe, a sleek, all-dark-silver spaceship raced at an astonishing speed.

This was Xu Jingming's SS1-class spaceship, "Xinghen."

At this moment,

the ship's exterior coating had switched to an ordinary dark gray, unremarkable under starlight.

The universe was vast, cold, and lifeless.

Yet inside the ship, the scene was entirely different—vibrant and lively.

The spacious lounge glowed with warm lighting.

Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue sat facing each other, a translucent jade table between them.

On the table were no ordinary cups—only two palm-sized, dark-golden wine goblets.

Each cup brimmed with a liquid like molten gold, continuously rising with visible pale red halos.

"Wine is the old hero—the more you drink, the bolder you become!"

Xu Jingming lifted his goblet, grinned, and gestured to Lin Qianxue:

"Sister, don't be polite. Come on—switch to bigger cups!"

A faint blush colored Lin Qianxue's exquisite face.

Those pale golden eyes, steeped in wine, gleamed even more lustrous.

Her simple black mini-skirt made her thighs' skin appear even whiter.

At these words, her gaze flickered, and she shot Xu Jingming a playful scowl:

"Little brother, your excuse to drink is peculiar."

Though she said so, she lifted her own larger cup and lightly clinked it against Xu Jingming's.

Both tilted their heads and drained the liquid in one gulp.

"Boom—!"

The moment the wine entered their throats, it was no longer liquid.

But two condensed stellar energies exploded violently!

An unimaginably vast torrent of primordial energy surged instantly through every limb and vein.

Inside the lounge, the dense primordial energy nearly solidified into golden-red mist.

It swirled around their bodies, emitting a faint hum.

Light flared simultaneously around Xu Jingming and Lin Qianxue.

A golden, blazing star and a silver, cold star faintly emerged.

They were the Yang Pole Star and the Yin Pole Star.

The dual stars' radiance fell upon them, mirroring the primordial energy surging within, accelerating absorption and refinement.

Meanwhile, Lin Qianxue's lightning mark on her brow glowed faintly, and fine arcs of electricity danced around her body.

More striking was her long, beautiful legs beneath the black mini-skirt.

From ankle to thigh, her skin now glowed with a tempting pink hue.

Like a ripe peach, shimmering with a glossy sheen under the light.

A wine capable of eliciting such a reaction from two Immortal-class deities was certainly no ordinary drink.

It was SSS9-grade resource—Flame Wine!

From the treasured stash within the Starfall Lord's inheritance ring.

Drinking this wine not only replenishes and enhances primordial energy.

It also deeply refines the divine body, greatly strengthening physical resilience.

It offers excellent assistance for breaking through realms.

Each drop is priceless, yet both drank it as if it were water.

"Tsk tsk tsk..."

A semi-transparent, petite figure floated in midair—Vera, the succubus little girl's soul form.

She stared at the jade platform, where the cups were swiftly refilled again.

Her little face was full of envy, jealousy, and resentment as she muttered:

"SSS9-grade resource!

Outside, countless Immortal deities would fight to the death for it, and you two just drink it like water?

It's... too extravagant! I'm envious to death!"

Xu Jingming had just swallowed his second sip; hearing this, he laughed heartily:

"Envious? Blame your lack of talent and bad luck.

When you were alive, you never obtained a legacy of this caliber.

One could only say the Supreme Lord's inheritance was still too authoritative.

During the past two months since leaving Star Dome Academy and heading to the Second War Zone,

he had done little else besides necessary cultivation adjustments.

He had simply, with Lin Qianxue, wisely used the inheritance resources suited for their current stage's gentle nourishment.

Flame Wine was one such item.

The effect was extremely noticeable: his divine power steadily increased by 53 points under the gentle, sustained nourishment of the resources.

Such a rate of advancement would be terrifying for an ordinary Immortal deity.

Moreover, his foundation was rock-solid, utterly free of any instability.

"You!"

Vera's eyes flared, her little mouth opened, yet she found she had no rebuttal.

The truth was, in life she had been an Undying Lord.

She had lived for millions of years.

Over countless eons, she had amassed countless opportunities and treasures.

Yet she had never received a complete inheritance resource left behind by a being as supreme as the Starfall Lord.

"I'm not bothering with you."

Vera puffed out her cheeks, turning her face away, unwilling to watch this display of wealth.

But soon, her expression shifted slightly, and she spoke:

"Wait... coordinates match—Star Seven Continent is nearly here!"
