Chapter 294: Chapter 145 The Terrifying Warm Dream Star Pattern (Please Subscribe)

”A Star Refining Pill took just over 15 minutes to deplete completely.

Upon examining internally, Xu Jin noticed that sparse starlight, clearly visible in quantity, surrounded the Gathering Star Core in his Central Star Palace.

A sweep of his mind made the count clear.

Consuming a Star Refining Pill had added seventy-six strands of starlight to the Gathering Star Core in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace.

This amount was quite far from making a breakthrough.

Liu Qingzhu had explained to Xu Jin about the Cultivation in the Star Refining Realm, and even detailed it in a data-driven way.

It could be said that the present-day cultivators had datafied their experiential insights.

The Star Refining Realm involved expanding the Star Palace to refine starlight into surrounding Star Clouds, with each additional layer of Star Cloud allowing one more Star Pattern to be engraved.

Different Star Casting quality required different amounts of starlight.

Low-grade Star Casting required only around one hundred fifty strands of starlight to break through to the early period of the First Layer of the Star Refining Realm.

A maximum of slightly over five hundred strands of starlight could lead to reaching the Peak of the First Layer.

However, for middle-grade Star Casting, this number doubled, requiring over a thousand strands of starlight to reach the Peak of the First Layer, and for top-grade Star Casting, it needed one thousand five hundred strands, while Super Rank required two thousand.

Xu Jin calculated that his was Super Rank Star Casting, reaching three inches and one.

Theoretically, to cultivate his current Cultivation Level to the Peak of the First Layer, Xu Jin needed to cultivate out over two thousand five hundred strands of surrounding starlight.

Liu Qingzhu had previously calculated for him that taking one Star Refining Pill at dawn and dusk, in addition to practicing for several hours in the Third-tier Star Power Secret Realm, along with practicing for one hour daily in the Gathering Star Array in Feiyan Hall, Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level would be able to reach the Peak of the First Layer within six to seven days.

Because Liu Qingzhu had evaluated Xu Jin’s Star Casting as top-grade, nearing Super Rank.

This was the result announced by the National Master.

Xu Jin had reported to the National Master a Star Casting of two inches and six, just hitting Super Rank.

But what the National Master announced within the National Daoist Institute was Star Casting of two inches and four in the Central Star Palace and two inches and two in the Lower Star Palace.

Both were assessed as top-grade Star Casting, nearing Super Rank.

The National Master had explained this to Xu Jin this morning.

It was for the purpose of protecting Xu Jin.

Super Rank Star Casting, even within the major Star Halls, represented supreme genius.

Xu Jin, being already prominently visible as the Top of the Autumn Exam in the Dachen National Daoist Institute, would draw even more attention if he were Super Rank.

Thus, National Master Cheng Yuxiao announced Xu Jin’s Star Casting results as two inches and four.

For Xu Jin, it didn’t matter much.

He was still first in the rankings, unaffected by anything.

But now he needed to hurry his Cultivation.

If he did not diligently practice and failed to keep up with the predetermined schedule, it would look as though Xu Jin was not putting in the effort.

That would even be disappointing.

That wouldn’t be fun.

The key issue was, Xu Jin already had things he withheld, and the National Master had concealed something further, making the discrepancy quite substantial.

If following this rate, taking one Star Refining Pill at dawn and dusk and added hard training, the quickest time needed to cultivate to the Peak of the First Layer would be around ten days.

And this was under the condition that Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power was strong and enhanced by a Leakless Innate Star Body.

According to Liu Qingzhu, the drug efficacy of the Star Refining Pill was fixed, and different talents and Divine Soul Power resulted in different Cultivation effects.

Generally speaking, the top three True Disciples of the National Daoist Institute, such as Meng Qingqiu and Yan Chen, could increase about fifty strands of surrounding starlight with one Star Refining Pill.

But for Xu Jin, it was seventy-five strands.

The effect surged by fifty percent.

But Xu Jin was Super Rank Star Casting.

Next, Xu Jin took out a top-grade Star Refining Pill.

The quality difference between a top-grade Star Refining Pill and a Star Refining Pill was immense, so the decay in efficacy when taken continuously was minimal, almost negligible.

It must be said, the effect of the top-grade Star Refining Pill was indeed good.

Likewise, in just over 15 minutes, the inner surrounding Star Pattern of Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace increased by just over one hundred fifty strands.

Afterward, Xu Jin relied on his own Star Power, continuously using up Star Power and recovering it to further the Refining Star.

He intensely cultivated for two and a half two-hour periods.

The Central Star Palace increased by forty strands of surrounding Star Pattern.

Altogether, Xu Jin had cultivated for three two-hour periods, six hours, nearing midnight, essentially hard training.

The starlight in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace had barely surpassed two hundred sixty-five.

Just hitting one-tenth of the starlight needed for his breakthrough to the Peak of the First Layer of the Star Refining Realm.

If he cultivated like this both morning and night, five to six days would nearly be sufficient for a breakthrough.

But the consumption of the Pills was extraordinary.

The Pills Liu Qingzhu provided would only last Xu Jin for about three to four days.

If the Pills were plentiful, reaching the Third or Fourth Layer of Star Refining in a month wouldn’t be a problem.

Without Pills, it might take one to two months just to break through to the First Layer of the Star Refining Realm.

No wonder those with family backing have such swift Cultivation progress.

They are players who pay to win.

Xu Jin had made up his mind; he, too, needed to pay to win.

No one would pay on his behalf!

He would fund himself!

After Cultivating, Xu Jin directly entered the Second-tier Martial Arts Secret Realm.

Last night, Xu Jin had continuously won fifteen bouts in the Second-tier Martial Arts Secret Realm, moving from a ranking of over fifty thousand directly into the top five hundred.

Today, he continued.

Still, instant victories.

After ten times, Xu Jin’s rank had already climbed to the eighth position.

Luckily, today, when he challenged, the top ten were all present.

It seemed as though most geniuses had agreed upon the time, converging online for martial practice in real-time around midnight.”
