Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 270: Chapter 138: Annihilate His Entire Family and Qi’s Dilemma (Please Subscribe)_3

Xu Jin naturally wouldn’t reveal everything.

He had already taken Ning Yuchan’s various kindnesses to heart.

Previously, when he snatched the Refining God Golden Pill from Ning Yuchan’s hand, he actually did so to help her within his capacity.

This matter, Xu Jin had weighed it for a good while yesterday.

His initial thought was to hold back, not to help.

The secret of the Candou Platform had to be strictly guarded; he absolutely couldn’t let anyone know, couldn’t let anyone detect any anomalies.

But the four words that Ning Yuchan told the State Preceptor shook Xu Jin to his core!

”Prepared to die with no regrets!”

These four words were extremely daunting.

They indicated that what Ning Yuchan was poised to do, or where she was about to go, was extremely dangerous, with a significant chance of death.

At that moment, Xu Jin asked himself a question—if Ning Yuchan died in battle, would he regret it?

Would he regret his decision to staunchly keep the secret and not help Ning Yuchan!

The answer was yes!

And it was the kind of regret that one could take to the grave!

Some matters, once they truly unfold, it’s completely useless to regret them afterward.

In his past life, Xu Jin had such experiences.

There’s a saying, ”When flowers are meant to be plucked, one ought to pluck them; don’t wait till there are no flowers only to break the branches.”

Another goes, ”Under the Heartbroken Bridge, the spring currents are green, once reflecting a startled swan.”

”The tree wants to stay still, but the wind keeps blowing; the son wants to provide, but the parent won’t wait!”

All of these are filled with boundless regret, also only regretting what wasn’t done at the time.

Therefore, Xu Jin made up his mind yesterday, he must help.

But he had to help within the margins of safety as much as possible.

With the Refining God Golden Pill, if it was nourished to the Third Essence within the Candou Platform, its medicinal efficacy would be six times that of a normal Refining God Golden Pill.

Ning Yuchan taking one pill would be equivalent to taking the effect of six pills.

It would definitely enable the divine soul to undergo Star Casting.

It would surely substantially enhance Ning Yuchan’s strength, elevate her combat power, improve her survival abilities, and even be conducive to a breakthrough in her cultivation level.

As for safety, Xu Jin believed that with an excuse to remind her, Ning Yuchan surely wouldn’t talk recklessly.

The risk was very small.

Since the danger could be controlled within an extremely small range, and he could significantly help Ning Yuchan, then he must help.

All for five words—”No future regrets!”

During breakfast, Xu Jin listened to Jiang’er chirp away for nearly two hours, most of which, surprisingly, were praises of Ning Yuchan.

She said that since Xu Jin left, Ning Yuchan had come over every night to nourish the Central Star Palace for Jiang’er, then would sleep over, not leaving until dawn.

She would also arrive earlier during the day.

Occasionally, she would even bring Disciples of the Star Patrol Guard from the Taoist Institute, causing the neighbors to be quite envious.

Xu Jin understood that Ning Yuchan was protecting Jiang’er and his father in this manner.

Especially in the worst-case scenario.

After listening to Jiang’er’s chatter, Xu Jin returned to the back yard where he finally found some quiet.

The first thing was to sort out his gains.

There were over two hundred Star Cores in his skin bag, the State Preceptor said he would record them as Taoist Merit; once finished, he didn’t know how much Taoist Merit he could exchange them for.

Then there were the Star Jades.

The Candou Platform could accommodate Star Jades, but the capacity was limited.

Currently, after filling his Candou Platform with the Fourth-tier Star Jades needed for an upgrade to Fourth-tier, Xu Jin still had forty-six pieces of Fourth-tier Green Jade left.

These forty-six pieces of Fourth-tier Green Jade would be the most vital cultivation resources for Xu Jin for the upcoming year, which should enable his cultivation level to advance rapidly.

As for the Third-tier and Second-tier Star Jades, they were all sent into the Candou Platform to be transformed into Starlight.

The total number of Third-tier Starlight accumulated above the Candou Platform had reached three hundred and twenty strands.

Even though there were many, there was still a big gap from the required one thousand strands needed for an upgrade; he would need to continue accumulating earnestly.

In addition, there was a piece of Second-tier Fire Scale Armor.

Worth mentioning is that during the many days in the Fire Radiant Star Domain, the effect of the Star Lamp nourishing the Star Weapon had become evident.

Nine days.

In nine days’ time, a First-tier Star Weapon could be nourished into a Second-tier one.

But that was the limit.

The piece of First-tier Star Weapon that Xu Jin used for the nourishing trial in the Star Lamp, after being elevated to Second-tier, Xu Jin tested it again by putting it in for over eight days, but there was no change.

Xu Jin estimated that the Star Lamp nourishing a Star Weapon to advance one tier was probably the limit.

This was normal.

Pills could be nourished to increase to the Third Essence because the rank of a pill and the energy contained within had a significant correlation.

But the tier of a Star Weapon mainly depended on the material.

Therefore, for a Star Weapon to be nourished and increase by one tier was already the limit.

Xu Jin had long since placed the Fire Scale Armor into the Star Lamp for nourishment.

If he could nourish the Fire Scale Armor to Third-tier, he would find it useful.

In addition, Xu Jin also obtained two Upper Third-tier Fire Spirit Star Cores; when he had time, Xu Jin had to study carefully what the Protection Star Pattern granted by these two Upper Third-tier Fire Spirits could do.

There was also a Warm Dream Star Pattern, a Mysterious Skill of Divine Separation Technique, and a Second-tier Primordial Soul Pearl.

Among these, the most valuable was actually the Warm Dream Star Pattern.

Even if Mountain Master Dong Zhao hadn’t reminded him, Xu Jin would likely choose the Warm Dream Star Pattern.

The reason was simple, Old Qi had talked to Xu Jin quite a bit about Divine Soul Star Patterns.

He said that in the Lingji Star Hall’s legacy, there would be Defensive and Offensive Divine Soul Star Patterns, and when Xu Jin’s cultivation level was sufficient, he could learn to engrave them early to enhance his survivability.

Especially the Offensive Divine Soul Star Pattern, it was a weapon for defeating stronger opponents for those below Fourth and Fifth Tier.

Since the Lingji Star Hall legacy included them, Xu Jin eight or nine times out of ten would choose the fairly unique Warm Dream Star Pattern.

The hesitation was because, at that time, Xu Jin was considering another matter.

The Offensive Divine Soul Star Pattern of the Lingji Star Hall, Old Qi hadn’t specified what it was, could it be too conspicuous to use?
