Xu Jin asked this because he had already used Starlight Transmission to inquire about it from his senior at the National Taoist Institute, Wu Dong.

Top-grade Transcendence Pill, like the Mental-locking Golden Pill, was not available in the market; it was always in demand but never in supply and could only be exchanged through Taoist Merit.

The exchange price for a top-grade Transcendence Pill was eight hundred Taoist Merits, but in the Taoist Institute, different ranks received different discounts.

As for the Mental-locking Golden Pill, it was even rarer; the exchange price within the Institute was two thousand Taoist Merits, but it remained in a state where it was priced but not available.

Unlike the top-grade Transcendence Pill, as long as you had Taoist Merits, you could exchange for it.

So, since Lingji Star Hall had been sealed, and Qi Shanye was trapped in Yan State, and he didn’t have Taoist Merits from the Da Chen National Daoist School, where did he get the top-grade Transcendence Pill from?

Xu Jin didn’t know the source.

But in Xu Jin’s view, Qi must have paid a hefty price to procure the top-grade Transcendence Pill for him, hence he asked.

”How could you use this thing? The more, the better. If you’re lucky, it could potentially achieve seven Purifications in one go. Hurry and accept it,” Qi Shanye said.

”Thank you, Teacher.”

Xu Jin no longer declined and could only accept it.

Ah, Qi really cared for him genuinely, but every time Xu Jin thought about the Lingji Star Hall that Qi had to manage, he still felt some pressure.

Fortunately, Qi’s expectations for Xu Jin were not high, as long as Xu Jin continued this legacy; otherwise, the pressure from Qi’s top-grade Transcendence Pill would have been too much.

”You should already know about the autumn exams at your National Daoist Institute,” Qi Shanye suddenly asked.

”I know, Teacher Ning told me.”

”Hmm, it’s a tradition of Da Chen, but it’s also your only chance for rapid Star Casting. Remember, during the autumn exam, not only must you enter the first stage, you must aim to rank in A Level—the higher your rank, the better it is for you.

If your rank is good enough, you might even be able to cast two stars in one go,” Qi Shanye said.

”Cast two stars at once?”

”Yes.”

”With your current status and the significant influence of the Divine Soul Star, you are 100% able to cast a star, but what rank of star you can cast is uncertain.

Because what rank of Star Core you can cast depends not only on you but also on the dense and continuous supply of Star Power in the environment at the time of casting.

Only in the secret realm of the National Daoist Institute can you find such a dense Star Power environment to cast a high-rank Star Core.

You might even be able to cast two high-rank Star Cores at once.

If you miss this chance, the cost to cast a high-rank Star Core later would be enormous,” Qi Shanye said.

”Teacher, rest assured, I’ll try my best.”

”Hmm, your practical combat ability and Star Skills are indeed excellent, but in terms of total amount of Star Power, it’s still a weak point. You definitely need to focus on training hard lately, ideally completing four, or even five Purifications before the autumn exam; that way, your weak points during the exam will be compensated,” Qi Shanye said.

After Qi Shanye left, Xu Jin trained the golden refine Chapter for an hour, before he turned to practice the basic Star Skill, Star Rope.

In today’s battle with Wang Weisheng, this basic Star Skill, Star Rope, had displayed strong offensive power.

If Xu Jin were to train it to Perfection Instantaneous, his tactics would become even more unpredictable and versatile.

In fact, Xu Jin had already solidified the Star Rope and Star Mist onto the Star Lamp and could use it instantaneously.

However, Xu Jin’s aim was to achieve instantaneous use without the assistance of the Star Lamp.

That would truly represent his own genuine strength.

Of course, his daily routine included practicing the Elephant Concealing Star Pattern for half an hour.

But today, Xu Jin only practiced for fifteen minutes before he exited the Star Lamp.

Inside the Star Lamp, Xu Jin had successfully engraved the Elephant Concealing Star Pattern twenty times in a row.

Xu Jin planned to engrave the Elephant Concealing Star Pattern on the second layer of the Divine Soul Star on the Star Halo.

After focusing and introspecting for a moment, Xu Jin’s thoughts sank into the second layer of light halo on the Divine Soul Star and began to engrave.

With his previous experience of engraving the Guicang Star Pattern on the first light halo, the engraving of the Elephant Concealing Star Pattern went exceedingly smooth.

Fifteen minutes later, the work was seamlessly completed.

As the final stroke was drawn, the power of the Divine Soul quickly flowed in and began circulating within the completely engraved Elephant Concealing Star Pattern.

Instantly, a strange sensation surged into Xu Jin’s heart.

It felt as though his presence had diminished.

He opened his eyes and was shocked by what he saw.

Sitting cross-legged on the cushion, he now seemed to merge with the surrounding light and shadow, indistinct and faint, but if one looked closely, one could still discern him.

Then, Xu Jin experimented by staying in a darker corner; he could hardly see his own form.

It was as if he merged with the darkness.

This Star Pattern, he felt, was slightly less effective at concealing compared to the Third-tier Lower Snake Spirit’s Concealing Star Pattern he had used before.

But while the concealment effect of the Concealing Star Pattern broke with any movement, the Elephant Concealing Star Pattern, even when moving, could still conceal him within the ambient light, the darker the environment, the better the concealment.

Suddenly, a thought struck Xu Jin, and he remembered what Qi Shanye had said before.

Qi had mentioned that his invisibility was a combination of three Star Patterns and a basic Star Skill.

Using Clear Soul as the core, driving Guicang, and Elephant Concealing Star Patterns, and then activating the basic Star Skill, Star Mist, he could achieve invisibility.

The next moment, Xu Jin focused, using Clear Soul as the core, simultaneously activating Guicang, and Elephant Concealing Star Patterns, and then started running the basic Star Skill, Star Mist.

The process was a bit slow, taking about five seconds in total to complete.

As the whole process was completed, suddenly Xu Jin vanished into thin air.
