Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1113: Chapter 443: Finally Obtaining the Sumeru Palace Inheritance

Although Qiao Shen was afraid of death and had experienced little of the world, he was not stupid.

On the contrary, he was very smart.

He knew that now was the time to negotiate; if he didn’t, there would be no chance.

”Promise? What kind of promise do you want?”

”I want to live, you need to find me a place to stay and provide me with some Divine Soul Pills to help me maintain my Primordial Spirit.

In the future, if there’s a chance, try to help me find a method to rebuild my physical body.

I heard from my master that when the Primordial Spirit reaches a certain level of cultivation, it’s possible to seize a physical body, but I don’t know how,” Qiao Shen said.

”A place to stay and Divine Soul Pills are not a problem; I can agree to that.

But I cannot guarantee the method to rebuild a physical body.

Because I don’t know it, nor am I sure if it can be discovered or encountered in the future, so I cannot promise that,” Xu Jin said.

”Alright, that works! But you’ll need to swear a Great Dao Oath.” In this aspect, Qiao Shen understood. After all, following around Sumeru Palace Master Luo Xian broadened his horizons significantly.

After thinking carefully, Xu Jin realized that simply promising to find a place for Qiao Shen’s Primordial Spirit and providing some pills to maintain it, swearing a Great Dao Oath would have no impact on him.

So he swore the Great Dao Oath on the spot.

But Qiao Shen didn’t act immediately; instead, he said, ”Brother Qi, may I retrieve some pills to restore my Divine Soul power from Sumeru Space? My Primordial Spirit...”

”Alright!

Oh, right, you should take out all the items in your Sumeru Space and let me see if there’s anything I can use. Of course, I’ll leave you some Divine Soul Recovery Pills.

After all, the items in your Sumeru Space are also my spoils of war,” Xu Jin said.

Xu Jin’s statement was somewhat brazen.

But he was the victor, wasn’t he?

In the triumph of the victor, the way of the world.

”Alright,” Qiao Shen smiled bitterly.

At this moment, he was like fish on the chopping board; he had no choice but to accept.

One could only say, being outmatched leads to disaster for life!

As Qiao Shen activated his Divine Thought, he poured out all the items from his Sumeru Space.

To prevent Xu Jin from doubting him, he held nothing back, even emptying out many personal items and clothes.

With just a glance, Xu Jin’s eyes couldn’t help but twitch.

”You... disciples of the Sumeru Palace, are you all this wealthy?”

A Fifth-Order Gathering Star Array, a few hundred Fourth Order Star Jade pieces, but three thousand Fifth Order Star Jade, and over a hundred Sixth Order Star Jade pieces.

Then there were pills, especially the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills that Xu Jin was familiar with, a full eighteen bottles!

This is just ridiculous!

Xu Jin looked on, slightly perturbed.

Disciples of the Great Chen National Daoist School used Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills sparingly, counting them by individual pieces.

Bringing out a few dozen at once was considered immense.

But this guy brought out eighteen bottles!

Four sixth-tier top-grade star artifacts.

Eight Fourth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicines and three Fifth-Order Divine Soul Spiritual Medicines.

Plus several Space Shifting Symbols and various Life-saving Emblems.

It was simply a moving treasure trove!

Xu Jin felt that even State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao wasn’t as wealthy as this guy.

”There isn’t more!”

Qiao Shen shook his head, ”Most disciples only have the cultivation resources bestowed by their sect, I performed well and am considered a direct disciple.

Because it’s extremely difficult to find spiritual medicines to aid in strengthening the Space System powers during star pattern enhancement,

our master always helped us direct disciples in Condensing Primordial Spirit early on.

But the cultivation resources given by our master were long used up.

It’s just that I received considerable benefits during recent missions outside.” Qiao Shen explained.

”Missions outside came with benefits?” Xu Jin was puzzled.

”Indeed! For instance, during the selection battle between your Dachen and Tianyang Star Hall and Cangming Star Hall, since a temporary star gate needed to be opened, our master sent three of us disciples down the mountain to open it.

I was responsible for Tianyang Star Hall and received considerable rewards,” Qiao Shen said.

This matter immediately piqued Xu Jin’s memories, as well as stirred up suspicions he had at the time.

Although it was later confirmed that the information was leaked by Dai Guanwen of the Sumeru Palace, Vice Academician Shen Wei indirectly suffered from it too, the specific details remained unclear.

Seeing Qiao Shen mention it now, Xu Jin began to inquire in detail.

In such a situation, Xu Jin asked, and Qiao Shen, naturally, did not hold back anything.

He shared all the details of the past with Xu Jin.

Before Xu Jin could finish listening, his face had already turned ashen.

No wonder!

The information kept leaking out.

Not only was Dai Guanwen leaking information, but within Sumeru Palace, there was also a senior brother, Zong Yan, acting as an intelligence broker, communicating back and forth!

Now, everything was thoroughly understood.

The future kill list, besides Dai Guanwen, now also included Zong Yan.

And it’s not just this generation.

Whenever disciples of Sumeru Palace were involved in the selective battles, the second senior brother, Zong Yan, would sell intelligence to varying degrees.

However, Qiao Shen’s participation in external affairs was only in the last three or four years.

About Ning Yuchan’s generation, he was unclear.

But Xu Jin highly suspected that Zong Yan of Sumeru Palace might have used the opportunity to sell Chen Country’s intelligence to Tianyang Star Hall.

Hateful traitor!

The disciples of Sumeru Palace, despite their wealth, owed a part of it to the blood and flesh of the disciples of the National Taoist Institute of Dachen Country.

”This... Brother Qi, it’s just some intelligence, why such a reaction?” Qiao Shen was puzzled.

The next moment, a flash of starlight appeared on Xu Jin’s face, restoring his true identity, ”I am Xu Jin, the one Tianyang Star Hall is targeting for intelligence.”

Qiao Shen was stunned, speechless for a long moment.

”Rumor has it you are not...” The rest of the words, Qiao Shen did not dare to speak.

”Enough, use this Pill to restore your Divine Soul power, and I’ll be taking these right now!”

With a wave of his wide sleeves, Xu Jin swept away all those Star Jade, Emblems, eighteen bottles of Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill, and other pills, spiritual medicines, and Star Artifacts.

This left Qiao Shen extremely bitter, but there was nothing he could do about it.

He could only silently start crafting the simplest Space Origin Emblem.

Xu Jin had already come up with a preliminary plan for handling Qiao Shen: once Qiao Shen’s Primordial Spirit had slightly recovered, he would directly refine it to control it.

From then on, he would have absolute control over Qiao Shen’s life and death.

Qiao Shen could only endure it.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin obtained the Space Origin Emblem crafted by Qiao Shen.

The Space Origin Star Pattern inside was just third-tier lower.

Theoretically, it was very simple for Xu Jin, as the Star Core Pattern within the base emblem was made by Xu Jin, easily stripped away.

Yet, the comprehension of it was progressing neither quickly nor easily.

The comprehension of the Space Origin Star Pattern was slower and harder than Xu Jin expected!

Especially since, before this, Xu Jin had very little accumulation in the area of space star patterns.

This left Xu Jin rather unwilling.

At this rate, obtaining the Space Origin Star Pattern was inevitable.

But what he obtained was of low-tier.

According to Qiao Shen, the Space Origin Star Patterns known by them, direct disciples, reached the seventh tier upper, including related Space Movement, Space Cutting, and Space Barrier star patterns, ranging from sixth tier to seventh tier.

But at the current pace, he could only learn up to third tier.

Then Xu Jin would use Gold Star to simulate, which would be the fastest way.

If he continued using this clumsy method to learn, mastering it might take years, even five to six years of effort.

The time was too long!

”By the way, you disciples often discuss and research star patterns with each other, right?” Xu Jin suddenly asked.

”Certainly! The master only imparts techniques, rarely teaching us regularly, generally, several senior brothers guide us, and then we guide the junior disciples below,” Qiao Shen replied.

The next moment, Qiao Shen’s eyes on his Primordial Spirit suddenly closed, plunging him into sleep.

It was Xu Jin who activated the Warm Dream Star Pattern, directly sending Qiao Shen into a dream.

In his dream, a junior disciple of Sumeru Palace, familiar with Qiao Shen, held the simplest Space Origin Star Pattern, seeking guidance from Qiao Shen.

In the dream, Qiao Shen returned to Sumeru Palace, cherishing that feeling immensely.

He even wanted to remain in the dream and not wake up!

So, he earnestly guided this junior disciple.

With the foundation of the third-tier lower Space Origin Star Pattern, in the dream, Xu Jin transformed into Qiao Shen’s junior disciple, continuously asking questions and seeking advice, constantly elevating and strengthening the obtained Space Origin Star Pattern’s rank.

The dream-bound Qiao Shen also guided with dedication and effort.

In just four days, Xu Jin, using the third-tier lower Space Origin as a base, acquired the sixth-tier upper Space Origin Star Pattern.

Simultaneously, Jin also discovered the key to replicating Sumeru Palace’s legacy!

First, let Qiao Shen craft the simplest emblem related to the star pattern, Xu Jin would do preliminary study, then continuously consult and supplement in the dream.

Space Movement, Space Folding, Space Barrier, Space Cutting...

Thus, Xu Jin learned one Sumeru Palace legacy star pattern after another.
