Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 703: Chapter 285: Plan and Revelation_2

Having said that, Qian’an Emperor paused before asking, ”How are the arrangements for that matter coming along? And what is the final success rate?”

”Your Majesty, everything has been arranged!

Six days should suffice!

It is expected that two Pills will be produced, each capable of increasing the probability of advancing from the Sixth Tier to the Seventh Tier, or from the Seventh Tier to the Eighth Tier by one-tenth,” Chief Chu said.

”Twenty percent, plus your own thirty percent chance of success, that’s fifty percent. Add that treasure and you’ll have a seventy percent chance of breakthrough. You should have no problem breaking through, right?” Qian’an Emperor Gao Ye asked.

”Seventy percent, theoretically no problem.”

”That’s good.”

”Rest assured, Your Majesty. During the process of my breakthrough, I will use those two Pills at the end. If by chance I manage to break through earlier, then those two Pills can be used by you,” Chief Chu said.

”As you wish, but the premise is that you must break through!

As for my breakthrough, no need to worry, I already have a plan,” Qian’an Emperor Gao Ye said.

”What does Your Majesty refer to?”

”I speculate that Xu Jin still has at least two Gold Stars in his possession. Have him use all the remaining Gold Stars to deduce the Earth Origin Star Patterns. If there are Earth Origin Star Patterns of the Seventh Tier Upper, my chances of breaking through to the Seventh Tier are also greatly increased,” the Qian’an Emperor said.

”I’m just worried that the State Preceptor might have other plans,” Chief Chu said.

Not exacerbating the conflict between the Qian’an Emperor and the State Preceptor was the only request the old Steward had given him.

”So what if he does? I’ll just issue a sacred decree to Xu Jin directly; does he dare not to comply?”

”Furthermore, we must bestow more rewards on a peerless genius like Xu Jin, including his family!

Choose a princess for him and then grant him marriage!

Let him become a royal relative overnight; that should be favor enough.

Also, I heard that Xu Jin is extremely fond of his sister.

Have his sister marry into the royal family, let her become a phoenix from a sparrow overnight; that grace is significant enough.

In a few days, once you have broken through, invite Xu Jin’s sister into the Imperial Palace. Let the princes have a look, and whoever takes a fancy to her shall have her.

At that time, prepare a title for Xu Jin’s father as well.

And arrange a posthumous title for his deceased mother.

Make these arrangements at your earliest convenience,” Qian’an Emperor Gao Ye said.

Upon hearing this, Chief Chu nodded, ”Your Majesty, should I notify the State Preceptor beforehand?”

”The State Preceptor? Forget it.

If I notify him, he’d probably think I’m trying to snatch Xu Jin away.

Once everything is set, just issue the sacred decree!

I don’t believe the State Preceptor would dare to directly defy the decree,” Qian’an Emperor Gao Ye said coldly.

”Understood.”

Inside the National Daoist Institute, Right Libationer Song Bing gazed in the direction of the Star-picking Tower, suddenly feeling a sense of loneliness.

It seemed like everyone in the National Daoist Institute was busy.

Except for him, who had plenty of leisure time.

Song Bing knew very well that he had been excluded by the State Preceptor.

But he had no regrets.

No regrets with the pieces laid.

After a moment of thought, Song Bing quietly left the National Daoist Institute, and before long, appeared at the gates of the Imperial Palace.

*****

At the Da Chen National Daoist School, in the company of Left Libationer Meng Yanhui at the Sumeru Palace, the Fourth Young Master Dai Guanwen was having an exceptionally good time at this thanksgiving banquet.

All sorts of delicacies, truly from mountains and seas, everything one could wish for.

Even some ingredients he had never seen before. Da Chen had really outdone itself.

But when the most important part of the banquet, the so-called gift-giving segment, arrived, Dai Guanwen’s face turned instantly solemn.

The so-called thanks were actually two boxes of Dachen’s local specialties.

The items were quite exquisite but hardly of much value.

Dai Guanwen felt deceived.

But still, he was looking forward to the so-called long-term cooperation.

Meng Yanhui did indeed discuss long-term cooperation with him and successfully came to an agreement.

But the so-called long-term cooperation only increased Dai Guanwen’s disappointment.

Because what the Da Chen National Daoist School called long-term cooperation was to increase the purchasing quantity from Sumeru Palace.

Originally buying one set of Fixed Star Gate Space Jades and related materials each year, it became two sets.

And this year they even wanted to buy an additional set.

That indeed was long-term cooperation.

But it had nothing to do with him.

He was just passing a message.

Dai Guanwen’s intention was for Da Chen’s future increased business to be handled through a long-term partnership with him, he had even considered giving a discount on the costs.

But Da Chen didn’t give him any chance at all.

So it is with anticipation that one arrives, and with disappointment that one leaves.

Dai Guanwen no longer wanted to stay in Da Chen, not even for another 15 minutes.

He felt neglected, even slighted.

However, Meng Yanhui still wore a respectful smile as he accompanied him.

What Dai Guanwen did not know was that Da Chen had already confirmed that the leak came from him.

Engage in long-term cooperation with Dai Guanwen?

Is Da Chen foolish?

Only a fool would cooperate with such a person.

Dai Guanwen’s disappointment was understandable.

Had it not been for the National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s wariness of the Palace Master of Sumeru Palace, Dai Guanwen might not have been able to leave the Da Chen National Daoist School at all.

In essence, the death of the Vice Academician Shen Wei, was caused by Dai Guanwen!

Without the intelligence provided by Dai Guanwen, Tianyang Star Hall could never have known that the Fifth-tier Star Domain chosen by Da Chen was the Spirit Martial Star Domain.

Right now, Left Libationer Meng Yanhui’s accommodating smile was nothing more than a reluctance to tear off any pretense of friendship.

After the banquet, the time for the Lougong Battle was virtually upon them.

Dai Guanwen had no further desire to linger in Da Chen and wished to depart immediately.

When he saw his junior sister Haoyue, whom he hadn’t seen in five or six days, Dai Guanwen was taken aback.

She had put on a little weight!

Previously tall and slender, she now seemed plumper.

Even more attractive.

She had more of a young woman’s charm.

Upon hearing that she was about to leave immediately, Sumeru Palace’s young princess, Haoyue, was not having it, ”Brother, I have to see someone before I go. If I don’t meet him, I’m not leaving.”
