Chapter 1468: Beginning of the Warm Sun Fund
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
A ray of dawn light cut through the all-encompassing dark mist. The sun had risen.
The chicken-species feys around the streetside spirit lifeform store started to cluck, attracting a few grumpy complaints from inside the spirit lifeform store.
A person should be at their most energetic when they awoke. However, this was not the case for Li Ziqiang.
After Li Ziqiang opened his eyes and looked at the middle-aged woman next to him, he fell in a daze while lying on his bed.
He was a regular person who was not a spirit qi professional, and his wife was the same.
His son had turned 18 years old not long ago.
When they went to check his talent, it was discovered that he had spirit qi professional potential and was affiliated with power offense-type insect-species feys.
The Li family only had single descendants for three generations, and none of them had been a spirit qi professional.
Li Zhong’s spirit qi professional talent was a shining moment for the entire Li family.
But before Li Ziqiang and Wang Xuemei could properly revel in their joy, Wang Xuemei succumbed to a strange illness that left her dizzy, nauseous, and weak. She vomited out any food she ate after five minutes.
Li Ziqiang had hired some experienced physicians to check on her condition, but they could not figure out what was ailing her.
He was at a complete loss and spent a fair amount of money to hire a healing-type spirit qi professional.
After the healing-type spirit qi professional checked on Wang Xuemei, he deduced that the issue lay with her soul. This explained her dizziness, nausea, and lack of strength.
If it was a problem with her spirit, a spirit-type fey and healing-type spirit qi professional could immediately cure Wang Xuemei.
But since this problem involved her soul, it was beyond the healing-type spirit qi professional’s abilities.
In order to cure Wang Xuemei, a Class 2 and above Creation Master was required because a Class 1 Creation Master could not concoct souls that affected souls.

However, it cost at least 20 Radiance dollars to be examined by a Class 2 Creation Master.
Li Ziqiang had been working under a Class 1 Spirit Craftsman.
After scrimping and saving for over a decade, he had managed to save up 17 Radiance dollars. However, this was meant to be given to Li Zhong so he could buy a good-quality power offense-type insect-species fey.
A good starting fey could help Li Zhong’s future development. It could even attract the attention of his teachers in the Intermediate Spirit Qi Academy and lead to him being recommended to enroll in the Redbud Spirit Qi Intermediate Academy.
But now, his wife needed the money badly to save her life. At the same time, his son needed the money to get ahead of his peers.
If Li Ziqiang was the one who had fallen ill, he would insist on the money going to his son no matter what.
However, when he saw his wife’s expressions of agony, he steeled himself and thought, I will go and borrow money. I have to heal my wife, even if it means I’ll have to live with debt! My son will be able to make his way in life on his own. If I don’t save my sick wife, what kind of man will that make me?
Li Ziqiang hurriedly stood up to borrow money from his sister, who was also living in the Xia Region.
After spending the 20 Radiance dollars and making use of some under-the-table means, Wang Xuemei was back to normal by the evening.
Li Ziqiang was afraid that Wang Xuemei would reject treatment if she found out that 20 Radiance dollars needed to be spent, so he did not tell her about it on their way to receive treatment.
Eventually, when she found out that Li Ziqiang had spent 20 Radiance dollars to cure her, she immediately started crying in self-reproach. Large beads of tears rolled down her face.
Li Ziqiang placed his arm around Wang Xuemei’s shoulders.
Although he was comforting her, his smile was just as bitter.
He would need to starve for a year and a half to repay his sister’s three Radiance dollars.
As for Li Zhong, they had no choice but to choose a normal offense-type insect-species fey with unconfirmed abilities and exclusive skills.
A spirit qi professional could not break the contract between them and their fey.
If the insect-species fey evolved to Bronze grade and the exclusive skill it unlocked turned out to be useless or did not align with being power offense, his son would not be able to make a name for himself even if he was a spirit qi professional.
While the husband and wife were despondently walking home, they spotted a crowd of people gathered around a building. Li Ziqiang and Wang Xuemei could hear the people discussing feys, something that was free, and such.
Perhaps it was because the group was getting too noisy, but a spirit qi professional walked out of the building and shouted, “Everyone, keep quiet and line up properly! I will take a headcount. Once the number exceeds 500, the others will have to come back tomorrow morning at 7:00 a.m.! Otherwise, you might not get your chance by nightfall. Please also remember that when you go and choose your fey, you have to go to the administrative office in the Xia Region to process the necessary documents. Otherwise, you won’t be able to take home the fey you obtained from the Warm Sun Fund.”
Many people voiced their thanks and immediately dashed off to the administrative office. They had entered after hearing the news and were unaware of the rules.
Only those who had arrived early and learned about the rules had already gone to the administrative office to process the necessary documents.
Many people had already processed their documents, verified their identities, and obtained their feys.
Although the Xia Region was a small place, every citizen in the Radiance Federation had the right to log into Star Web.
Chimey was a phenomenon-class live-streamer on Star Web.
Amongst the people busking on the streets, there had to be at least three of them who were singing Chimey’s songs.
When the term ‘Warm Sun Fund’ was mentioned, many people immediately took out their phones to record everything that was happening here and post it to Star Web.
Things were going smoothly, and the people could head to the administrative office directly for processing because of the Warm Sun Fund’s connection to the four top factions and because Lin Yuan had already asked Elder Ning to inform Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao had issued an order to the Xia Region’s administrative office for them to cooperate with the Warm Sun Fund.
The Warm Sun Fund’s first stop was the Xia Region. This was an opportunity for Redbud City.
Redbud City experienced year-long rain. The terrain consisted of mountains and forests, and one side of the city faced a sea full of reefs that made it impossible to build a harbor to fish for fish-species feys.
Redbud City did not have anything remarkable to speak of compared to other cities.
