Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1831: Chapter 766: Arrival of the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch

Xu Jin pondered for a long time and made the final decision.

First, he must not test human nature.

Second, he should save time for himself while reducing the risk of being ambushed.

Under these two principles, Xu Jin’s related decisions became very easy.

Based on the first principle, the innate spiritual materials nourished by the Star Lamp in Xu Jin’s hands must certainly not be sold through the Yutang Royal Mansion.

Perhaps Yutang King Zhu Shizhen is trustworthy, but when faced with enormous benefits, it’s hard to say.

Greed is inherent in everyone.

The fact that the Candou Platform can nurture innate spiritual materials, even innate treasure materials, brings profits that are terrifying.

If exposed, even the Emperor would go mad.

In such a situation, Xu Jin had to personally handle the sale of the nurtured innate spiritual materials, including some extremely precious items like the Yan Dao Pearl of the Star Monarch.

Including purchasing materials for nourishment.

This was a path to amass wealth that Xu Jin had just identified, a continuous source of obtaining a large amount of All Heaven Star Dew.

Observing the past two weeks, Xu Jin found that the feature of nourishing treasure materials and innate spiritual materials on the Candou Platform was identical to the previous feature of upgrading spiritual medicine.

It is not possible to upgrade infinitely.

Before this, Xu Jin could only upgrade sixth-tier spiritual medicine to seventh-tier, and the upgraded seventh-tier spiritual medicine could not continue to upgrade.

Xu Jin understood the reason for this. The nourishment of the Candou Platform, from a certain perspective, enhances the internal aspect. By rapidly enhancing the internal aspect, it improves the rank, like the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Rhythm needed for the growth of spiritual medicine.

But the upper limit of the rank of spiritual medicine is determined by its essence.

Just like iron can be refined into steel the most but cannot become titanium.

The essence of the spiritual medicine, or its innate quality, determines the upper limit of the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Rhythm it can bear.

This principle also applies to spiritual materials, treasure materials, and innate spiritual materials.

The innate quality of treasure materials is there, with the Candou Platform injecting Chaos Rhythm Power to enhance its internal aspect, it can raise its rank, but the upper limit it can bear is inherent and cannot be changed in a short time.

That is to say, even with the Chaos Rhythm Power of the Candou Platform injected for support, treasure materials can be at most nurtured and upgraded to innate spiritual materials, innate spiritual materials can be nurtured and upgraded to innate treasure materials, but they cannot be upgraded infinitely.

In such a situation, Xu Jin came up with a way to get rich, which is to sell the nurtured and upgraded innate spiritual materials, then buy a lot of treasure materials to nurture and earn high margin profits from it.

Then, buy innate spiritual materials and nurture them into innate treasure materials, and then use them to refine Lifebound Spiritual Treasures.

With the handy tool of the Candou Platform, Xu Jin set a small goal for himself.

The main materials for several other Lifebound Spiritual Treasures would at least use innate treasure materials. If possible, auxiliary materials and accompanying materials should also use innate treasure materials, if not available, use innate spiritual materials.

Even at the level of the Emperor, one would surely envy Xu Jin for this setup.

Disregarding Chaos Elemental Materials, treasure materials themselves are extremely rare.

When they occasionally appear, in the auction hall, people bid till they lose everything, not to mention, after leaving the auction, there’s a likelihood of a bloody fight.

Of course, this is the fundamental goal.

If he encounters innate treasure materials, he should definitely bid and then nurture them into Chaos Elemental Materials.

The ordinary part that needs to be monetized, like the previously confiscated spirit materials, several suppression artifacts, and the Yan Dao Pearl of the Star Monarch, can be sold through the channels of the Yutang Royal Mansion.

The Yutang Royal Mansion itself has related industries, and these relatively low-value items can be monetized more quickly and without loss through the channels of the Yutang Royal Mansion.

Once the decision was made, Xu Jin immediately summoned Zhu Linxiao.

”Husband, you called me.”

Upon receiving Xu Jin’s Starlight Transmission, Princess Zhu Linxiao returned at the first opportunity, then nestled beside Xu Jin like a little bird.

”The Yutang Royal Mansion must have shops for selling and purchasing spiritual and treasure materials, right?” Xu Jin asked.

”Yes, husband! Not only in the Dongxuan Star Realm but also in several Middle Worlds, including the Treasure Light District, we have shops. However, because there are fewer and fewer experts in the mansion, and no intimidating experts either, the scale is relatively small.

We mainly focus on buying and selling spiritual and treasure materials. We are not qualified to deal with innate spiritual materials, and if we occasionally get a bargain, we will promptly sell them.”

”These, sell them for me, and help me monetize them quickly, as I urgently need All Heaven Star Dew to break through my cultivation level.” Xu Jin handed over a total of twenty-six spiritual materials, eighteen suppression artifacts previously confiscated, and the Essence Blood Pearl of the Star Monarch to Zhu Linxiao.

It was indeed quite a pity for those eighteen suppression artifacts, as most of them were the Lifebound Suppression Artifacts of the Little Star Monarch.

Once the word ’Lifebound’ is removed from Lifebound Suppression Artifacts, their value will dramatically decrease.

The power gap between Lifebound Suppression Artifacts and ordinary suppression artifacts is not just a single level.

This is also why many people would rather engage in additional law practices to refine Lifebound Spiritual Treasures than be willing to use ordinary suppression artifacts.

Especially those Lifebound Suppression Artifacts of the Little Star Monarch, selling them now, Xu Jin estimated they could only fetch one or two drops of All Heaven Star Dew each.

However, that doesn’t matter.

For Xu Jin, these items are useless.

Bettter to monetize early and quickly break through to the ninth or even tenth tier of cultivation.

Looking at so many things Xu Jin took out, Zhu Linxiao was also a little surprised, ”Husband, these spiritual materials should be monetized soon, but these suppression artifacts will take some time to monetize, as well as this Essence Blood Pearl of the Star Monarch.”

”No problem, just monetize as much as you can for me first.”

”I understand, husband.”

While nodding, Zhu Linxiao also looked at Xu Jin with some concern, ”Husband, has there been a problem with your cultivation lately? You should have broken through to the ninth tier by now. Do you need my help?”

Hearing this, Xu Jin paused and soon understood what Zhu Linxiao meant, smiling.

Recently, the amount of All Heaven Star Dew Xu Jin acquired was roughly known to Zhu Linxiao, numbering over a hundred drops.

For an eighth-tier cultivator, theoretically having just over ten, at most thirty drops, should have been enough to break through to the ninth tier.

Zhu Linxiao was worried about this.

”Don’t worry, my cultivation is fine. It’s just that recently, I’ve been practicing a special cultivation technique, which consumes a lot, but it’s almost done.”

With this, Zhu Linxiao finally relaxed her expression.

”Also, if the shops under your Yutang Royal Mansion receive any treasure material, even innate spiritual material, keep it all for me. I have use for it,” Xu Jin instructed.

Zhu Linxiao’s eyes flickered slightly, but she didn’t ask further and immediately agreed.

Xu Jin laughed again, ”Why didn’t you ask about the cost of everything! If you give it all to me, and I don’t provide All Heaven Star Dew, won’t your Yutang the Zhu Family’s shops go bankrupt?”

”Husband, I need to correct you on one thing. It’s their Yutang the Zhu Family; you and I are one!” Zhu Linxiao said with a rare stern face.

Xu Jin was initially surprised, and then quickly nodded, ”I spoke incorrectly, I spoke incorrectly.”

Only then did Zhu Linxiao smile again.

”Husband, the benefits you’ve brought to Yutang the Zhu Family already exceed several times or even ten times what Yutang the Zhu Family has invested! Not to mention, with True Monarch Tianzhang over there, they used to call me Mr. Zhu, but today they called me niece and suggested that my brother Zhu Shizhen associate more with Star Monarch Su Shize.

Just this one point has greatly improved the Zhu Family’s situation!

Not to mention, over eighty percent of the recommendation letters we sent to officials from Yutang the Zhu Family used to get rejected.

But starting the day before yesterday, the approval rate of the recommendation letters has surprisingly exceeded sixty percent.

Husband, you may not have noticed, but the current Yutang Royal Mansion, although not to the extent where the threshold is being trampled, now receives several times more visitors each day than before.

Previously, we had one or two groups of visitors a day, sometimes none, and my brother could handle them all.

Now, my brother has had to bring out several clan elders to start receiving guests.

The guest kitchen in the mansion has even been expanded with two more.

It’s already showing thirty percent of the grandeur from when the family ancestor was around,” Zhu Linxiao said.

This was something Xu Jin hadn’t anticipated.

The real power of the Yutang Royal Mansion hadn’t changed, but after Xu Jin, as a Ritual Officer and husband to the Eldest Princess, was given military honors and titles, especially recently when True Monarch Tianzhang deliberately rekindled ties with Yutang King Zhu Shizhen.

This made a big difference.

Everything was improving rapidly.

Even though Xu Jin was bringing benefits to the Yutang True Monarch Mansion, one thing had to be clear.

Having experienced many major events in the Kunling Domain, Xu Jin knew this well.

If this was not calculated clearly and Xu Jin kept exploiting the Yutang Royal Mansion’s shops, it would be laying trouble for the future.

Even among close brothers, account must be clear.

What is promised to Xu Jin by the Yutang Royal Mansion cannot be withheld.

But Xu Jin also cannot take advantage of the Yutang King’s kindness.

Being friends, it’s best to part on good terms.

”There’s no need for this. Simply save me some time. As for any treasure material and even innate spiritual material acquired, it should be calculated at market value, and I’ll settle the cost promptly,” Xu Jin said.

Zhu Linxiao, understanding the situation, did not insist further and went on to arrange what Xu Jin had given her.

Since Xu Jin was in urgent need, she would quickly convert these things to cash for Xu Jin and send him the needed supplies.

After Zhu Linxiao left, Xu Jin began to focus on refining the thirty-three drops of All Heaven Star Dew he had recently acquired.

Currently, what needs urgent improvement is the cultivation level, still the cultivation level.

However, Xu Jin didn’t spend all day refining the All Heaven Star Dew like he used to.

Instead, he made a more reasonable time allocation.

Mainly because there are too many things to do recently.

The refining of All Heaven Star Dew, previously exchanged Divine Dao True Intent was left idly, now having space-time, it was necessary to deduce the Mingji Star Pattern and Space Image Star Pattern all to the Ninth Tier, and then deduce further to see if there could be any gains.

Simultaneously, the Essence Blood Pearl of the Star Monarch needs to be refined into a Star Monarch grade Yan Dao Pearl.

The wood series lifebound spiritual treasure can also begin to be prepared for refining.

The main materials have already been nourished to advance to become innate treasure materials, but the auxiliary and accompanying materials are slightly substandard.

Unfortunately, the space innate spiritual material, Innate Crystal Egg, has not been nourished to advance to Chaos Elemental Material yet.

Otherwise, Xu Jin could now start refining the space lifebound spiritual treasure.

Basically, Xu Jin now consumes two to three drops of All Heaven Star Dew a day.

Three days later, Zhu Linxiao brought Xu Jin another batch of thirty drops of All Heaven Star Dew, saying it was part of what had been converted to cash, to let Xu Jin use it first.

Other transformed resources will continue to be delivered to Xu Jin.

As time passed, Xu Jin’s cultivation level was rapidly improving.

August 17th, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu arrived, the entire Dongxuan Dao Palace was as if facing a formidable enemy, True Monarch Tianzhang personally accompanied and inspected everything.

August 19th, after Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu inspected several Middle Worlds in the Dongxuan Star Realm, he returned to the Dao Palace, where True Monarch Tianzhang and several True Monarchs warmly received him again.

”True Monarch Su, a while ago your Dongxuan Dao Palace was suddenly attacked by the Golden Roc Star Monarch, yet you counterattacked and critically wounded the assaulting forces from the Golden Roc Star Realm, achieving war merits. Among them, who was the most outstanding?” Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu pondered out loud.

”Mr. Ding, that Daozi’s name is Xu Jin!” True Monarch Tianzhang replied.

”Yes, yes! The Third-rank Star General title at under thirty years old, even the Emperor praised him a bit. I also wish to see his demeanor!

Then tomorrow, let’s inspect the Dao Palace itself, and conveniently meet these Daozi?” Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu suggested.

”Mr. Su, rest assured.” True Monarch Tianzhang agreed.
