Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 483: Chapter 208: Qi Who Refuses to Give Up_2

Ultimately, the State Preceptor gave Xu Jin a Star Pattern Handbook on Divine Soul from Warm Dream, part of which was penned by his mentor and part by the preceptor himself as private research, considered exclusive property.

Moreover, every available handbook on Divine Soul research in the National Taoist Institute’s Library only totaled to a bit over twenty.

And they were mostly too simple.

This made Xu Jin frown.

Without the necessary foundational knowledge, even using Gold Star for deducing Divine Soul Star Patterns, the likelihood of failure was significant.

And even if successful, the gains would not be substantial.

To make use of the Gold Star, Xu Jin had to figure out a way to learn the theories behind Divine Soul Star Patterns.

Where to find them?

In a flash, Xu Jin thought of his mentor, Qi Shanye.

At night, after finishing his evening lessons, Xu Jin received a Starlight Transmission from Ning Yuchan.

[Sorry for the delay of a day. I was on a patrol mission and wasn’t within the range of Galaxy Battlefield’s Star Picking Tower earlier, so I couldn’t send you a message to let you know I’m safe. Everything is fine now.

I’ve officially joined the Mystic Tiger Army of Dachen in the Galaxy Battlefield, serving as the Vice Governor of Fifth Guard. I’m currently stationed in the rear, and I will head to the frontline in three months. By then, you can expect me to perform miracles!

How are you and Jiang’er?

What level has Jiang’er’s cultivation reached? Once Jiang’er breaks through to the fifth layer of Dining Dawn, get her a Star-picking Order quickly. I want to talk to her.]

Xu Jin had been anxious the past two days since there was no news from Ning Yuchan, and had even inquired Mountain Master Dong Zhao once about it.

Mountain Master Dong Zhao had commented that communications at the Galaxy Battlefield were not timely, which had put Xu Jin somewhat at ease.

And there she was talking about performing miracles!

[Safety first! Safety first! Safety first!]

Xu Jin emphasized this foremost point before responding with some ordinary family news.

[Got it, you too.]

After chatting with Ning Yuchan, Xu Jin entered the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm to continue his challenges, maintaining a streak of fifteen consecutive victories.

These fifteen consecutive victories catapulted Xu Jin’s ranking directly to number 146.

What Xu Jin didn’t know was that Moon Shadow, who also logged in today to challenge, decided not to battle when he saw the ranking of the Great Sage Equalling Heaven. He planned to leave for harsh cultivation.

But before leaving, he couldn’t help but send a friend request towards Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

Unsurprisingly, it was rejected!

Frustrated, he stomped his foot!

He ended up venting to Drunk Moon Immortal for a while, then went off to endure tough cultivation!

He was stimulated!

As for Xu Jin, he obliviously started chatting with his mentor Qi Shanye.

[Mentor, how have you been recently... Do you have any handbooks for deducing Divine Soul Star Patterns?]

After a few pleasantries, Xu Jin got straight to the point.

[I do have some research handbooks on Divine Soul Star Patterns. What do you need them for? Right now, you should be focusing on quickly enhancing your cultivation level. Once your cultivation is higher, then you can delve into research.] Qi Shanye reminded Xu Jin.

Thinking it over, Xu Jin deployed a big move.

Without this big move, it would be impossible to acquire what he needed.

After all, he was already a remnant of Lingji Star Hall, and there was no harm in telling his mentor about it.

[Mentor, I recently obtained a Gold Star in the Star-picking Secret Realm and wanted to deduce a Divine Soul Star Pattern to enhance my strength, but to deduce Star Patterns, I need to learn the basics of Divine Soul Star Patterns first. However, here at the National Daoist Institute of Dachen, research handbooks on Divine Soul Star Patterns are extremely rare, so I specifically wanted to consult you.

Mentor, there’s another thing. National Master Cheng Yuxiao of the Daoist Institute said that Lingji Star Hall has deduced the Breaking Evil Star Pattern to the Sixth Tier Upper, yet you passed only the Sixth Tier Lower to me. I’d like to know if you didn’t learn it or were planning to teach me later?] Xu Jin asked outright.

In Purple Lion City of the Barbarian Clan, seeing this message, Qi Shanye almost jumped up, with his eyes bulging wide.

Gold Star!

His disciple Xu Jin had picked a Gold Star!

Unfortunately, Lingji Star Hall had already locked its gates.

Had it been before, just this piece of news would have earned him a great merit, and he would have obtained a Sixth Tier Star Pattern from the main temple at the very least.

He wasn’t mistaken!

He, Qi Shanye, had truly chosen the right person.

Being able to pick a Gold Star was already extremely impressive.

Among the geniuses of various Star Halls, he was truly exceptional.

[Jin’er, picking a Gold Star is great news, but as your mentor, my advice is that you shouldn’t use this Gold Star for researching Divine Soul Star Patterns. The difficulty in researching and deducing Divine Soul Star Patterns is several times that of other Star Patterns. The likelihood of wasting the Gold Star on a failure is very high.

I suggest you save it until you learn a Sixth Tier Upper Star Pattern, or learn the ultimate version of a Star Pattern from the Daoist Institute, then use it to deduce an even higher-tier Star Pattern, which would greatly boost your strength then.

As for the Breaking Evil Star Pattern, it’s true that Lingji Star Hall deduced it to the Sixth Tier Upper, but due to my status, I only learned the Sixth Tier Lower.

As someone constantly at risk of death, how could I possibly hold back anything from you, my only disciple?]

Qi Shanye, while suppressing his joy, sent this message back to Xu Jin.

But the next instant, Xu Jin’s response almost blew Qi Shanye’s mind.

Because of the intense emotional fluctuation, the Star Power used to maintain his disguise’s Hundred-Transformation Star Pattern fluctuated violently. Qi Shanye’s disguise as a down-and-out old scholar vibrated intensely, almost collapsing!

In the next moment, Qi Shanye covered his mouth with his hand, suppressing a yelping roar.

He was indescribably excited!

[You picked six Gold Stars in a row? The geniuses that all major Star Halls crazily sought after these days, was it you? You aren’t playing me, are you?] Qi Shanye controlled his explosive emotions and quickly asked.

[I wouldn’t lie to you, mentor! Not to hide it from you, but indeed, I’ve picked six Gold Stars already, and I feel that I could pick at least two more. Therefore, I am looking to find a Divine Soul Star Pattern for deduction and wanted to first learn the basics of Divine Soul Star Patterns.]
