Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 797: Chapter 614 Rewards

You Man Forest, temporary camp, within Qingming Realm.

“The treatment is complete. You may get up now.” Antonios put away his silver knife and wiped his sweat, speaking to Shen Tu Yuan.

Shen Tu Yuan looked at the unfamiliar northern youth in front of him and slowly sat up, feeling his condition.

As he felt his condition, Shen Tu Yuan was secretly shocked in his heart.

He was clearly aware of how severe his injuries had been.

At this moment, not only were his injuries almost healed, but even the side effects of using Legendary Skills excessively had been largely alleviated. Now, he was just a bit weak and needed a few more days of good rest.

Shen Tu Yuan carefully observed the unfamiliar northern youth beside him and pondered, “Thank you.”

“No need to be polite, Moon Lord.” Antonios chuckled softly and then waved his hand to dissipate the surgical domain.

Looking at Su Yuan waiting outside, Antonios approached and said, “Boss, Moon Lord Shen Tu is fine now.”

This treatment took almost half a day, and Su Yuan had also mostly recovered from the aftereffects of the Oath of Returning Ruins.

Su Yuan nodded slightly, “Good, thank you, Antonios.”

“It was my duty.” Antonios gracefully bowed and then retreated.

Boss…

Shen Tu Yuan looked at the retreating Antonios, then at Su Yuan, and said, “Su Envoy, it’s surprising to have such a remarkable young healer under your command, and a northerner at that.”

Su Yuan smiled, “Previously, he was hunted by a Holy Temple Star Envoy. We found ourselves in similar situations and have stayed together in this small world of mine ever since.”

Shen Tu Yuan nodded and then looked at a particular room in the palace, his expression slightly serious, “It seems there’s another master here, at Su Envoy’s place…”

Su Yuan smiled and didn’t say more about the matter, instead asking, “How does the Moon Lord feel?”

“Almost recovered.” Shen Tu Yuan nodded, clasped his hands in a salute, and said, “Thank you, Su Envoy.”

“Then let’s go out.”

“Alright!”

…

In the following days, the Tiger Vein was occupied, and defensive fortifications were established.

As for Su Yuan, once he regained a bit of strength, he immediately headed deep into You Man Forest alone and killed all the remaining Radiant Moon Star Beasts!

With this, the progress of the Demon Saber’s slaying reached 26/50, surpassing half.

On the other side, realizing that the Burning Sun Star Beasts in You Man Forest were slain, Duncan, the northern Burning Sun Knight, did not linger and retreated directly.

Meanwhile, General Luo Cheng of Wusa took the opportunity to head to You Man Forest and began establishing a new Grade A outpost.

As for Su Yuan and the others from the Sky Patrol Department, after General Luo Cheng arrived at You Man Forest with his subordinate colonels and lieutenants, they returned to Great Flame with Imperial Envoy Bai Chengyun, the main person in charge of this operation.

In this operation, they successfully slew Gerard of the Dark Moon, overwhelmed the Burning Sun Star Beasts to occupy the Tiger Vein, and achieved great merit!

Merit deserved rewards!

On the way back, Bai Chengyun had already discussed the rewards with Su Yuan and others who participated in the operation.

Upon arrival at Yan Court, the first thing Bai Chengyun did was report all the details of the operation to White Tiger Palace.

Su Yuan, however, did not hurry back to Vermilion Bird Imperial but went to Miracle Workshop instead.

At Miracle Workshop, Duan Tianzhi handed a space ring to Su Yuan, saying, “Everything is inside, exactly 200 banners. Take a look.”

Su Yuan glanced at the space ring and flipped his hand to take out a large flag shimmering with starlight.

The flag had a black background with silver patterns, with countless silver star dust flowing on it, resembling a brilliant star river in the night sky.

The Star Banner, even a single-sided one, was a Super Blue Star Device made with Fourth Level Star Sand.

And 200 Star Banners were indeed quite an astonishing cost.

After quickly inspecting them, Su Yuan nodded in praise, “Excellent quality, Grandmaster Duan’s craftsmanship is indeed extraordinary!”

Duan Tianzhi waved his hand, “If you want to set up an array, you still need enough Star Banners.

However, I’ve been keeping an eye on it for you. Although a small amount of Star Sand has flowed in from various states, it’s only enough to create twenty or thirty more banners at most.”

Su Yuan smiled, “Thank you for your efforts, Grandmaster. But soon, we’ll likely get enough Star Sand from Huo Luo Country. Then, I’ll trouble you to forge more.”

Before returning to Yan Court, Su Yuan had already mentioned the need for Star Sand to Bai Chengyun.

“Oh? Huo Luo Country?” Duan Tianzhi pondered and nodded, “The Wangxing Desert in Huo Luo Country often sees meteorites falling from the sky, which is a primary source of Star Sand.”

Duan Tianzhi wasn’t fully aware of the great merit Su Yuan had just achieved. But given the recent alliance and cooperation between Huo Luo Country and Great Flame, it shouldn’t be too hard to obtain some Star Sand.

“After the Star Sand arrives, please forge the remaining Star Banners for me as soon as possible.”

Duan Tianzi nodded, “No problem. I’m quite familiar with this. Once the materials are here, I can forge the remaining ones within a month and a half at most.”

…

Leaving Miracle Workshop, Su Yuan returned to Zhu Yuan for a good rest.

The next morning, the evaluation and rewards for this operation arrived!

Su Yuan opened his black card and immediately his eyes flashed, “A Transcendent rating?”

Due to the appearance of the Burning Sun Star Beast, the difficulty of this task had skyrocketed, and the grade had also increased.

Except for Bai Chengyun, the main person in charge, all participants received an excellent rating.

As the team leader, Shen Tu Yuan, and Su Yuan, who killed the Burning Sun Star Beast, both received a rating above excellent: Transcendent!

[Task: Special Task (Code: Moon Slash)]

[Evaluated: Su Yuan]

[Task Rating: Transcendent]

[Task Evaluation: At Waning Moon stage cultivation, independently killed nine Radiant Moon level opponents, including a major general of Wusa Country, in Moon Slash operation;

Subsequently, played a crucial role in defending the Pulse Stabilizing Pillar and killing the Burning Sun Intelligent Stone Monkey, delivering the final fatal blow.

Based on the results, process, difficulty, and performance, awarded a “Transcendent” rating!]

“A Transcendent rating from the Sky Patrol Department hasn’t appeared for many years. Indeed, it’s only in times of war that there are more opportunities.”

Su Yuan contemplated while continuing to look at the rewards below…

[Basic Rewards: One Sun Spirit Pill; two portions of Star Sand]

[Extra Rewards: Processed]

Su Yuan looked at the rewards, first stunned, then overjoyed!

“There’s even a Sun Spirit Pill!”

Spirit Pills, made primarily from Star Beast Star Cores, could retain most of the Star Core energy, significantly speeding up a Star Card Master’s cultivation.

However, such pills not only required Star Cores but also demanded a high level of alchemy skills, usually needing an Alchemy Grandmaster to make them.

Hence, they were expensive. Even a Moon Spirit Pill cost around one to two million Cent Star Stones each.

A Sun Spirit Pill required a Burning Sun level Star Core, making it worth tens of millions. Even Burning Sun level Star Card Masters found it effective and rare.

Suppressing his joy, Su Yuan thought, “It seems this Sun Spirit Pill is a reward for me and Shen Tu Yuan getting a Transcendent rating.”

The Burning Sun Star Core of the Intelligent Stone Monkey had been submitted, considered a collective effort, and wouldn’t be counted solely for Su Yuan.

But one Burning Sun Star Core could only make one Sun Spirit Pill. For a Star Card Master, the pill’s value far exceeded the Star Core’s!

With two or three Sun Spirit Pills, top Moon level masters like Shen Tu Yuan might even have a chance to break through to the Burning Sun level!

Su Yuan’s mind immersed into the Star Sea. Due to the fast cultivation speed in Qingming Realm, his Star Sea’s waning moon was already approaching a half-moon phase.

“This battle with the Burning Sun Stone Monkey yielded significant insights. After settling a bit, I might gain substantial progress.

Once past the half-moon stage, using this Sun Spirit Pill might elevate me directly to the Full Moon realm!”

Su Yuan’s eyes gleamed with excitement.

However, the rewards were not over. Suppressing his excitement, Su Yuan continued to look down.

“The Star Sand request was approved, two portions. That’s enough!”

One portion of Star Sand was enough to make 100 Star Banners, and two portions were more than enough to make the remaining hundred-plus Star Banners!

As Su Yuan contemplated, the black card suddenly showed some movement.

“Has the Imperial Envoy returned…”

Su Yuan’s eyes lit up after checking and immediately stood up, heading towards Vermilion Bird Palace.

Vermilion Bird Palace.

“Imperial Envoy.” Su Yuan saluted.

Fang Qingxiao looked at Su Yuan and got straight to the point, “I heard you want the Tiger Vein?”

Su Yuan respectfully replied, “That’s correct.”

Fang Qingxiao’s expression became a bit more serious and asked, “Do you know that unlike in the New Dust Realm, seizing the Tiger Vein on the East Continent is forbidden by all factions?”

Su Yuan had expected Fang Qingxiao to say that and answered honestly, “I know. But my Power of Soul has a space. This space has reached a bottleneck and may require a Tiger Vein to advance.”

Enhancing the Soul Card and Power of Soul, huh…

Fang Qingxiao pondered. He was well aware of Su Yuan’s abilities.

For a Star Card Master, improving the Soul Card was almost the most critical thing, even more important than advancing in cultivation. It was almost impossible to give up.

Fang Qingxiao examined Su Yuan, whose gaze was straightforward and unflinching.

A Tiger Vein capable of supporting multiple Burning Sun level cultivations up to the Three Suns realm.

And a rapidly rising, highly talented genius of the Sky Patrol Department…

Fang Qingxiao stood up, slowly walking down from the upper seat.

“Achieving first merit in the New Dust Realm Struggle, gaining a Tiger Vein for Great Flame.”

“Opening front on East Line No. 5, penetrating deep into enemy territory, independently killing multiple Holy Temple Knights, disrupting their plan to occupy Spiritual Land, and indirectly saving three B-level outposts.”

“And now, in the encirclement of the Holy Temple Moon Knights, independently killing a major general of Wusa Country. Moreover, cooperating with Shen Tu Yuan to kill the Burning Sun Star Beast, successfully occupying the Tiger Vein.”

Fang Qingxiao spoke slowly, recounting the major achievements Su Yuan had made since joining the department.

Although King Level cultivators had excellent memories, the fact that Fang Qingxiao remembered these indicated his considerable attention towards Su Yuan.

“Decisive in action, outstanding in competence, exceptional in talent, never retreating in the face of difficulties. I’m not sure I could have done better at your age.”

Su Yuan hurriedly said, “Imperial Envoy overpraises me.”

Fang Qingxiao stopped in front of Su Yuan and smiled, “I believe you are more important to Great Flame than a Tiger Vein and will be even more crucial than a Dragon Vein in the future.

If you want to devour a Tiger Vein, you must strive for it on your own. The department won’t offer much help.”

Su Yuan’s eyes brightened upon hearing this, for this permission was exactly what he needed.

Since starting his cultivation, he had always strived for things himself, never relying on others.

Su Yuan immediately bowed deeply, “Thank you, Imperial Envoy!”

Fang Qingxiao nodded and added, “Of course, striving on your own doesn’t mean rushing to your demise.

You can handle Radiant Moon level yourself.

For those beyond your realm trying to take action against you… we will find ways to block them.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yuan bowed again.

This arrangement left him without too many worries!

Fang Qingxiao smiled, “That’s all. Go on now. If there’s a suitable opportunity, I will inform you.

As Earth Qi is constantly converging, it seems to be reaching a peak. Perhaps, within a year or so, there will be a chance. Be prepared.”

“Understood!”
