Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 218: Chapter 122: The Key to Refining a Leakless Innate Star Body (Please Subscribe)_4

Common disciples, due to extremely limited talent, are generally only advised to engage in Star Casting within the Central Star Palace to prioritize the improvement of their Cultivation Level.

But for you talented disciples, the Taoist Institute hopes that you can begin Star Casting in both the Central Star Palace and the Lower Star Palace from the start.

In this way, in the future, you can be invincible among your peers and have the power to battle the talents from other countries and the Star Halls.

If you only engage in Star Casting in the Central Star Palace, you will inevitably be crushed by the talents from other countries and the Star Halls in the future.

It is precisely for this reason that the Institute rewards you with so many Star Casting Pills. Do you understand?” Dong Zhao said.

After a while, Xu Jin slowly nodded.

So that was the reason the Institute gave him so many rewards—to ensure he engaged in Star Casting in both the Central and Lower Star Palaces.

”Do you understand?”

”The disciple understands!”

”With the Star Casting Pills you currently have, when the time comes to engage in Star Casting simultaneously in both the Central and Lower Star Palaces, there is a great probability of forging top-grade Star Cores in both palaces! However, there is one thing that is an urgent priority; you must complete it within three days,” Mountain Master Dong Zhao said.

”Please instruct me, Mountain Master.”

”Star Patterns!”

To engage in Star Casting in the Lower Star Palace, you must engrave a Star Pattern inside it; only then can you proceed with Star Casting.

You now have no shortage of Star Patterns on hand, including the Fourth Tier Upper Rain Curtain Star Pattern, a Fifth Tier Middle Whale Swallow Star Pattern, and a third-tier middle Great Gathering Star Pattern. You can choose any one of them to engrave, but importantly, it must be completed within three days.

Because two and a half days from now, no, it’s actually two and a half days now, the National Taoist Institute will open the Second-tier Star Domain for you to engage in Star Casting. So, you must hurry,” Dong Zhao said.

”Thank you for the guidance, Mountain Master. I will promptly engrave the Star Pattern.”

After speaking, Xu Jin intended to leave, but suddenly remembered something, and immediately asked Dong Zhao for advice on-site about which Star Pattern would be best to use during Star Casting in the Lower Star Palace.

After another explanation from Dong Zhao, Xu Jin left.

After leaving the Martial Arts Hall, Xu Jin secretly warned himself; he had nearly aroused suspicion.

Due to the Clear Mind Star Pattern already engraved in the Lower Star Palace, Xu Jin had not even considered which of the three Star Patterns to engrave initially and had no intention of seeking Dong Zhao’s advice.

If he had directly left, it might have aroused the Mountain Master’s suspicion.

Even though the Mountain Master was very good to him.

But after knowing the circumstances and fate of Qi, Xu Jin marked the Lingji Star Hall’s items as top-secret of the top secrets.

As for which of the three Star Patterns—Great Gathering, Rain Curtain, or Whale Swallow—to engrave first in the Lower Star Palace, Dong Zhao also offered specific advice.

A Great Gathering Star Pattern had already been engraved in the Central Star Palace, so engraving the Rain Curtain or Whale Swallow before Refining Star could greatly enhance Xu Jin’s combat power; however, engraving the Great Gathering Star Pattern could significantly increase the quantity of his Star Power, enhance his stamina in prolonged battles, and boost the foundational might of his Star Skills.

Each option had its benefits.

However, Dong Zhao still mentioned one thing: the higher the rank of the engraved Star Pattern, the greater the increase in power.

That was his way of suggesting Xu Jin engrave the Fifth Tier Middle Whale Swallow Star Pattern, which was also the Star Pattern passed down from the former Great State Preceptor, Teacher Dong Zhao.

If Xu Jin didn’t have the Clear Mind Star Pattern, he would certainly follow Dong Zhao’s advice and engrave the Whale Swallow Star Pattern.

But now that the Lower Star Palace already had the Clear Mind Star Pattern, he would have to wait until after Refining Star to engrave another.

After thanking Dong Zhao, Xu Jin first visited the Foreign Affairs Hall and then left the Jinshan Taoist Institute straight for his home.

After Xu Jin left, Dong Zhao sent a Starlight Transmission to Ning Yuchan.

”Yuchan, Xu Jin is carrying a large number of Star Casting Pills and won’t be in the Institute. Over the next two days, I’m troubled to ask you to go and protect him.”

”Mountain Master, I understand.”

Today, there were people delivering gifts to the Xu Mansion, but not as many as yesterday.

”Jiang’er, I plan to host a grand feast in three days to celebrate and to thank the guests who have sent gifts. What do you think?” Xu Dajiang asked as soon as he returned.

”Father, let’s postpone it a bit. I have to engage in Star Casting in two and a half days; there is no rush for this matter,” Xu Jin said.

”Yes, there’s no rush.”

After chatting with his father for a few more moments, Xu Jin went straight to the backyard, and indeed, under his sister’s bed, he found the two pieces of Jade that Qi had mentioned.

Even without injecting any Star Power, their radiance flowed, clearly indicating that they were no ordinary items.

Xu Jin tried to inject Starlight to see the contents recorded within the Jade, but as soon as the Starlight was introduced, it was repelled.

In an instant, Xu Jin remembered another point Qi had made: that only with a corresponding Cultivation Level could one see the corresponding Star Patterns and Star Skills.

Xu Jin’s earlier message to Qi stating, ”If you don’t come back, I won’t learn,” was actually an attempt to provoke Qi to return alive, as Qi most valued his legacy.

But now, Xu Jin had fully realized the importance of this matter.

He must learn!

Given Qi’s unpredictable capabilities and the survival skills he had honed over the last twenty years, he wouldn’t be easily captured by Hu Xuechuan.

However, Xu Jin was now unable to help Qi in the slightest.

Strength!

Only by swiftly improving his strength would Xu Jin have the possibility of aiding Qi!

Therefore, Xu Jin would learn the secrets of the Mingji Star Hall as soon as he reached the appropriate Cultivation Level!

He must quickly enhance his strength.

Xu Jin directly placed the two pieces of Jade into the Candou Platform.

This was an ancillary feature of the Candou Platform; it could accommodate a few items such as Star Core Pills, Star Jade, Star Weapons, Silver, Gold, and so forth.

Naturally, the quantity it could hold was quite limited.

Xu Jin then attentively read through the long Starlight Transmission sent by Qi today, which contained a thousand words.

Within these words was an important Body Refinement Dharma Method, which was the key to the ninth Purification.

However, according to Qi, the key to the ninth Purification was the power of the Divine Soul.

The stronger the Divine Soul Power, the higher the likelihood of succeeding in the ninth Purification and refining the Leakless Innate Star Body.

The transmission stated that with Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power, combined with the top-grade Transcendence Pill, there was a 20-30% chance Xu Jin could refine the Leakless Innate Star Body.

”Divine Soul Power?”

In an instant, Xu Jin thought of the Third Essence Mental-locking Golden Pill!

Then, he would take the Mental-locking Golden Pill first.

Suddenly, Xu Jin’s gaze shifted. At the end of Qi’s letter, he had made a special note about his sister, Jiang’er.
