Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 440: Chapter 192: The Big Umbrella

September 21.

Xu Jin and Jiang’er woke up early and had breakfast with Ning Yuchan before sending her off to Star Picking Square together.

Ning Yuchan had changed into her battle attire. Her usual long skirt was replaced by a Mystic Armor Battle Robe, and she carried a large backpack, reminding Xu Jin of his first trip to university in his previous life.

But that was for education.

Ning Yuchan was heading to the battlefield!

Ning Yuchan, holding a military order, could use the Star Picking Tower transfer paths for free. After three transfers through the Star Picking Towers, she would arrive at the Galaxy Battlefield’s Star Picking Tower and from there, head to the Dachen military camp.

Ning Yuchan was from Jinshan County and wasn’t good at socializing. Since arriving at the National Taoist Institute, she was either deep in cultivation or looking after Jiang’er and Xu Jin, so hardly anyone came to see her off.

After bidding farewell to Xu Jin and Jiang’er, she was about to leave when suddenly, a streak of Starlight fell.

”How come, planning to leave without a word?” It turned out to be Mountain Master Dong Zhao.

”Greetings, Mountain Master. It’s just going to the battlefield, everyone has to go,” Ning Yuchan said with a smile.

Suddenly, Dong Zhao was overjoyed, ”You’ve made a breakthrough? When did you achieve it?”

”Just yesterday morning,” she answered, glancing at Xu Jin when she spoke.

But that look was only understood by Xu Jin.

”Then...”

Dong Zhao had just taken out two Fourth Tier Emblems from his chest but hesitated.

He originally wanted to give Ning Yuchan two Fourth Tier Emblems to save her life in critical moments, but the breakthrough reduced their significance, though they were not useless.

With a casual touch, Dong Zhao took a bottle of One Qi Returning Star Pill from his chest and handed them both to Ning Yuchan.

”Don’t refuse. I won’t say much else. I wish you victory and may all your wishes come true on your journey to the Galaxy Battlefield!” Dong Zhao stepped back, giving a bow of respect.

”Thank you for your auspicious words, Mountain Master.”

Ning Yuchan unconsciously glanced at her own legs before openly accepting the gifts from Mountain Master Dong Zhao.

Suddenly, another streak of Starlight fell.

It was Senior Brother Pang Yu from the Pill Dawn Academy, which surprised Xu Jin.

What was he doing here?

”Sister Ning, the State Preceptor sent me to bring you five Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills and also a message,” Pang Yu said.

It then became clear to Xu Jin that the State Preceptor had sent him to see her off.

”Please thank the State Preceptor on my behalf,” Ning Yuchan took the Pill.

”The State Preceptor said, these modest pills are to aid you. May all your wishes come true and may you return in triumph!”

”Yuchan thanks the State Preceptor.”

Upon hearing this, Pang Yu gave a bow, then bowed to Dong Zhao and Xu Jin separately before turning into Starlight and departing.

”Mountain Master, Xu Jin, Jiang’er, I’m leaving now, farewell!” With a bow, Ning Yuchan then stepped towards the Star Picking Tower.

Xu Jin suddenly called out, ”Five days!”

”Yes, five days!”

Ning Yuchan responded and then stepped into the Star Picking Tower.

This exchange puzzled both Dong Zhao and Jiang’er.

What did five days mean?

Returning in five days?

That seemed unlikely.

Suddenly, Ning Yuchan, who had stepped into the Star Picking Tower, came out again and beckoned to Jiang’er, ”Jiang’er, come here for a moment, I have something to tell you privately.”

Now it was Xu Jin and Dong Zhao’s turn to be puzzled.

Jiang’er went in and came out after a while, saying Ning Yuchan had already left.

”Things are getting more intense lately, you better focus on your cultivation and don’t leave the National Taoist Institute. It’s still safe here,” Dong Zhao instructed Xu Jin before leaving.

After returning to the small courtyard, Jiang’er suddenly came to Xu Jin and mysteriously handed him a package, saying it was from Ning Yuchan.

This took Xu Jin by surprise, his heart racing.

Could it be some sort of token of affection from Ning Yuchan?

Was she too shy to give it to him directly and had to go through Jiang’er?

With hopeful expectations, Xu Jin unwrapped the package only to be both amused and perplexed.

This was truly the doing of a practical woman.

Ning Yuchan had sent all the Emblems and pills given to her by Dong Zhao and the State Preceptor through Jiang’er to Xu Jin.

Ning Yuchan must have realized the value of Xu Jin’s Blood Refining Technique—it might not cost much but was very effective. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been possible for her to mass-produce so many blood-refined pills and emblems for her.

Thus, she directly transferred Dong Zhao’s gifted Emblems and the bottle of One Qi Returning Star Pill, including the five Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills from the State Preceptor, all through Jiang’er to Xu Jin.

Without further explanation.

But the underlying message was clear: these treasures, after blood refinement by Xu Jin, would be of much greater use; her using them directly would have been a waste.

Naturally, Xu Jin accepted them.

Using the Fourth Tier Emblems directly would be a waste, but after nourishment, they could potentially harm Fifth Tier experts.

Not to mention the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.

What Xu Jin had given Ning Yuchan to save her life this time was also quite costly.

Three bottles of top-grade Rejuvenation Pill, five bottles of Three Elements Star Returning Pill, two bottles of Four Mysterious Star Recovery Pill, and one bottle of One Qi Returning Star Pill—all nourished.

Additionally, eight pieces of low-level Star Healing Emblems, ten pieces of Third-tier Upper Emblems, two pieces each of Fourth Tier Lower, Middle, Upper Emblems, and one piece of Fifth Tier Lower Fire Meteor Emblem.

All were nourished.

Counting what he had gotten from his teacher, Liu Qingzhu, earlier, Xu Jin had given half of his Emblems to Ning Yuchan.

But it was worth it!

With these treasures, Ning Yuchan would be much safer on the Galaxy Battlefield.

Aside from the current feelings in his heart.

The value of the help Ning Yuchan initially provided Xu Jin was immeasurable.
