Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1842: Chapter 771: Harvest and Night Banquet (Part 2)

However, Xu Jin was not worried at all about his true identity being exposed to the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment.

The Tongxuan Domain is a place that respects rules, and now Xu Jin has the protection of a Third-rank Profound Star General, backed by the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion and True Monarch Tianzhang. He is not someone whom the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment can easily manipulate.

But on the flip side of rules, extreme caution is required.

In certain situations, the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment might even personally deal with Xu Jin.

Living people have value; dead ones do not!

Therefore, in the end, the ability to protect Xu Jin himself lies first and foremost in strength, second in strength, and third in his own value.

This time, Xu Jin has already exposed the chaotic assassination move of merging eight stars as one, but it’s no matter.

Xu Jin still has stronger killer moves hidden, such as Chaotic Star Gang and Explosive Stacking.

Moreover, the future Xu Jin will certainly be far stronger than the Xu Jin of today.

Especially now, with these seventy drops of All Heaven Star Dew, not only will Xu Jin’s strength advance rapidly, but the power of the explosive killer moves will also multiply in growth.

This includes the Lifebound Spiritual Treasure in space that is soon to be refined.

These are truly what Xu Jin relies on for his foundation.

One can only say that the strength exposed by Xu Jin today is just the tip of the iceberg.

The immediate priority is to successfully obtain these seventy-five drops of All Heaven Star Dew. That’s the most important thing.

At this moment, after spitting out such a large mouthful of blood and causing the eight Star Towers within him to collide slightly in reverse, making his Star Power aura chaotic, the real purpose is still to obtain that All Heaven Star Dew.

Almost at the instant Xu Jin spat out blood, a starlight rushed over urgently to support Xu Jin, looking anxious and concerned.

And who else could it be but Princess Zhu Linxiao?

Being supported by Zhu Linxiao, Xu Jin wiped the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with difficulty, ”True Monarch, I apologize. My killer move injures myself before it harms others. I erupted to the extreme moments ago, and now my own injuries are very serious. I need to go back and heal immediately!”

On the other side, True Monarch Tianzhang listened with understanding, quickly catching the implication of Xu Jin’s words and immediately began cooperating.

”Mars, take my order and draw twenty-five drops of All Heaven Star Dew from the Dongxuan Star Realm treasury. The titled True Monarchs have all agreed and approved this, and procedures will naturally be supplemented once these matters here are settled.” Tianzhang ordered.

”Yes.”

Mars Star Monarch received the order and swiftly flew away. True Monarch Tianzhang, meanwhile, smiled amiably at the Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu, without rushing, just watching.

The implied meaning was clear to everyone.

How could Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu not understand?

This was urging him to settle the account.

But fifty drops of All Heaven Star Dew really made his heart ache.

This True Monarch, mingling at the core of the Tongxuan Domain, harvests All Heaven Star Dew from various channels quite well, with over a hundred drops, but with the large family and business comes large consumption, leaving an annual surplus of barely over ten drops.

Fifty drops would require at least three years of surplus!

Exceeding here means a deficiency elsewhere!

But defaulting on the debt is not an option!

The higher the level, the more importance is placed on public credibility.

Privately, tearing up promises to someone, counter-killing, slaughtering, are standard events.

But such public promises, if dared not to fulfill, in no time, no one at the top of the Tongxuan Domain would dare to cooperate or even associate with him.

Gritting his teeth, Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu glanced at his own Sumeru Space, immediately frowning.

Even for a True Monarch like him, aside from certain special times, he wouldn’t carry more than fifty drops of All Heaven Star Dew, let alone since these are cultivation resources.

Helplessly, Ding Moqiu transmitted a message to An Tongchun, ”I only carry forty-three drops of All Heaven Star Dew, not enough to pay. You lend me seven drops first; I’ll reimburse you once we return.”

Hearing this, Star Monarch An Tongchun immediately handed over the eleven drops of All Heaven Star Dew he carried, ”Master, this was caused by my incompetence. I currently only have this much.”

”After returning, I will find a way to fill this gap.”

”There’s no need, this was also my suggestion! Just cultivate well and serve diligently.”

A Star Monarch, under any True Monarch, is already top-notch combat power. The influence size of a True Monarch is heavily related to the Star Monarch under his command.

It’s imperative to win them over.

”Here, this is fifty drops of All Heaven Star Dew.” Ding Moqiu casually tossed the All Heaven Star Dew over to Xu Jin.

Xu Jin accepted them, already celebrating internally but outwardly calm, ”Thank you, True Monarch.”

As Ding Moqiu lightly nodded expressionlessly, starlight descended, heralding the arrival of Mars Star Monarch, who directly handed over the freshly drawn twenty-five drops of All Heaven Star Dew to Xu Jin.

”Xu Jin thanks all the elder True Monarchs for their care. Due to serious injuries, I must return to heal immediately, for which I apologize!” Xu Jin, once again bowing, forced a thin stream of fresh blood from the corner of his mouth.

”Hurry back, from today onwards, no one will dare question your strength and war merits. It’s also considered a rightful reputation.” True Monarch Tianzhang said with concern.

”Hurry, hurry, well done, you haven’t disgraced the men of Dongxuan!” True Monarch Yuanling praised.

True Monarch Bixuan could only theatrically wave his hand, and in the next moment, Zhu Linxiao took Xu Jin, stepping on stars straight towards Yutang Royal City.

After 100 breaths, Zhu Linxiao brought Xu Jin back to the Ritual Officer Mansion. Just as she helped Xu Jin sit down, Zhu Linxiao lowered her voice and asked, ”Husband, are your injuries feigned?”

Getting closer than ever, Zhu Linxiao had used Star Power to begin treating Xu Jin’s injuries in her moment of urgency, naturally discovering Xu Jin’s anomaly.

He’s hardly hurt!

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin chuckled.

”Husband, you’re so bad!” Zhu Linxiao also whispered with a smile, quickly adding, ”But I like it!”

”I can be worse, want to try?”

”Husband!”

With conversation continuing, the two were already tangled together, Zhu Linxiao’s head pressed downward...

...

Two hours later, Xu Jin instructed the departing Zhu Linxiao, ”Lin’er, the act must be thorough. I have to feign heavy injuries for twenty days. You should know how to act, right?” Xu Jin said with a smile.

”Rest assured, husband.”

As Zhu Linxiao departed, she activated the Guard Array of the Ritual Officer, spreading the news of Xu Jin needing twenty days of seclusion due to heavy injuries.

The heavy injury was false, but Xu Jin’s retreat was true!

Immediately, Xu Jin took out the freshly acquired All Heaven Star Dew and began to focus wholeheartedly on elevating his cultivation level.

With seventy-five drops obtained today and another twenty-three remaining from previous cultivation exercises, there are a total of ninety-eight drops of All Heaven Star Dew, a truly abundant cultivation resource.

Now, breaking through to the Ninth Tier is just a matter of time for Xu Jin.

In the Dao Palace, the inspection by Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu ended anticlimactically, with an unspoken loss, as the embarrassed Ding Moqiu even skipped the evening banquet arranged by True Monarch Tianzhang.

But in the evening, the retinue of Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu left the palace where he was staying and flew to the Bi Xuan True Monarch Mansion.

Tonight, Bi Xuan True Monarch hosted a night banquet for Heavenly Patrol True Monarch Ding Moqiu!
