Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1980: Chapter 845: Purple Yuan Bone Vein

Inside the quiet room of the Saint Selection Camp.

Xu Jin activated the Mingji Star Pattern and carefully sensed the inside and outside of the quiet room, discovering that the seals in this room were extremely sophisticated.

Even his Mingji Star Pattern was restricted.

His Divine Thought was also trapped in this small quiet room.

One seal was able to confine Star Power, space, and Divine Soul power, such a technique was truly remarkable.

This made Xu Jin look forward to becoming a Saint Heir of the Imperial Palace.

By then, there should be a lot worth learning for Xu Jin.

”Three days, I wonder if my Divine Soul cultivation level can improve, and how much growth points I can earn!

However, even if the improvement isn’t significant.

I am confident in earning a decent amount of growth points.

At most, during the re-selection, just taking a little less will suffice.

However, if there’s an opportunity, I still want to take more; it’s a rare chance.”

The next moment, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought had already landed on the rewards he chose this time.

First place could choose five rewards.

The Ruins Origin Infant Supplement Elixir, Xu Jin directly threw it into the Star Lamp of the Dipper Platform for nourishment.

Even though there was only one, without comparative effect, it was best to nourish it first.

Subsequently, Xu Jin’s gaze fell on the two Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches and two Nine-rank Divine Soul Class Spiritual Medicines.

For the remaining four rewards, Xu Jin chose these four.

In theory, those two Nine-rank Divine Soul Class Spiritual Medicines are temporarily useless for Xu Jin.

Because Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo cultivation level had reached its peak, consuming them would be a waste.

Thinking it through, Xu Jin’s Divine Thought activated the refining function of the Candou Platform, as Divine Soul treasures and Divine Dao Golden Pearls are excellent supplements.

Just half a Little Divine Dao Golden Pearl with over a hundred rays of starlight enhanced the efficacy of a Nine-rank Divine Soul Class Spiritual Medicine to its peak, yet without surpassing its original tier.

The Ninth Tier Spiritual Medicine is already the limit for ordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

And some Spiritual Medicines, born from Heaven and Earth’s Spirit Essence, can continuously absorb the Heaven and Earth Spirit Essence, and over lengthy years, their efficacy will accumulate and enhance, thereby breaking through the Ninth Tier limit.

In fact, the Purple Yuan Bodhi Pearl and Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch are of this type.

Such Spiritual Medicines are usually called millennium medicines.

The older they are, the stronger their efficacy, and the more precious they become.

”I wonder if these Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches can increase their age?”

With a thought, Xu Jin began activating the refining function of the Candou Platform, refining the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches using the same method.

Before refining, Xu Jin immersed his Divine Thought into the two Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches, clearly sensing the power within them, then refining one of them.

With the power of a Divine Dao Golden Pearl refined into it, Xu Jin felt delighted.

It’s possible.

The Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch can be refined.

One, two, three...

An hour later, after Xu Jin refined ten Little Divine Dao Golden Pearls, he had a sudden sense of stagnation when refining the eleventh.

Xu Jin knew he had reached the limit.

With Divine Thought immersing for comparison again.

Merely the inner power, the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch refined to its limit, significantly improved.

But examining the exterior trait of the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch, it hadn’t upgraded to a two-thousand-year-old medicine.

It seemingly only reached the millennium limit.

”Only refine to the efficacy limit, unable to upgrade?”

Having pondered it over, Xu Jin took some time to refine the other Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch to its extremity, then placed it in the Candou Platform for nourishment.

”Observe to see if there’s an upgrade possibility!

After all, I will need a lot of Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches in the future; if I can nurture and upgrade them, that should save me a lot of resources and time.”

”Now, I need to test the drug efficacy of the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch refined to its limit.”

At the thought, Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo, equal to his stature, flew out from his body, and with Divine Soul power, instantly infused into the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch.

In a flash, under the stimulation of Divine Soul power, that Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch sprout long, finger-thick purple light, like a purple whip.

With a Divine Thought prompting, this Purple Yuan whip, carrying a peculiar wave, lashed at Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo.

The first lash made Xu Jin immediately grimace.

It was an indescribable pain, as though struck to the heart, yet when you tried to pinpoint it, you couldn’t, just knew it hurt.

In the moment the Purple Yuan whip struck down, strands of purple light fell onto Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo.

Almost instantly, Xu Jin felt his Daoist Embryo becoming a bit more solid.

It was a truly tangible feeling.

With the dispersal of the purple light, Xu Jin again induced the Purple Yuan whip from the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch onto his Daoist Embryo.

Whip after whip!

With each whip, Xu Jin felt his Daoist Embryo tightened a bit more.

But he didn’t notice a substantive discovery.

But when Xu Jin had whipped himself over a hundred times, he suddenly realized his Daoist Embryo had become shorter.

The Daoist Embryo, once equal in height, was now slightly shorter than his physical body by about half an inch.

”Is this the result of tempering?”

Amid joy, Xu Jin’s mouth was filled with a bitter smile.

He sensed this natural Nascent Soul Dao, somewhat resembling self-torture!

Yet having chosen this path, he must endure it!

Whip after whip!

Each whip would deplete some of the purple spirit essence within the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch.

Half a day later, just as Xu Jin was about to activate it once more, the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch in his palm suddenly crumbled inch by inch, falling to the ground as ashes.

For its power had been thoroughly consumed.

By this time, Xu Jin’s Daoist Embryo was already more than two inches shorter than his physical body.

But more remarkably, a purple streak, over three inches long, had appeared on the midsection of the Daoist Embryo.

This purple streak, at this moment, felt inseparable from the Daoist Embryo, as if it was there since birth.

Seeing the purple streak, Xu Jin immediately showed a look of surprise.

”Purple Yuan Bone Vein!”

With Purple Yuan Vein as the bone, each vein strengthens by one-tenth; a hundred veins must transform into an infant!

When Master Emperor Fenghua taught him the method of natural transformation, he mentioned this characteristic.

The progress of tempering the Daoist embryo with the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch is very apparent.

During the tempering process, this Purple Yuan Bone Vein continuously condenses on the Daoist embryo.

Once a complete Purple Yuan Bone Vein is condensed, it signifies a one-tenth improvement in the cultivation level of the Daoist embryo.

Correspondingly, the power of deploying Divine Soul secret techniques and Divine Soul divine skills will also increase.

As for the hundred veins must transform into an infant, it refers to an ultimate limit.

The limit of tempering oneself with the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch is a hundred veins; achieving a hundred veins inevitably leads to transformation.

But it does not mean that one must temper a hundred veins to transform.

It’s not like that.

A hundred veins is only the limit. Usually, for most people on the path of natural transformation, having ten veins tempered and connected could lead to natural transformation.

The more veins tempered, the higher the possibility of natural transformation.

There have been cases of ten or twenty veins, but over thirty or forty purple veins is legendary, never achieved by anyone.

The more veins tempered, the more Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch is consumed.

Many people, after tempering to a certain extent, give up the path of natural transformation midway and instead use the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Pearl for external power transformation, resulting in a powerful Divine Infant.

This is also known as the Purple Bone Divine Infant.

Emperor Fenghua’s initial intention was such.

Let Xu Jin first temper his Daoist embryo with the Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch, if a natural transformation is possible, it would be best; if not, then temper it sufficiently for external transformation, which would not be bad either.

Now the emergence of the first Purple Yuan Bone Vein naturally delighted Xu Jin.

However, considering the current situation, this first Purple Yuan Bone Vein would likely need at least two or three more Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches to succeed, even if Xu Jin refines and upgrades them.

Thinking it over, Xu Jin simply retrieved the second Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch nurtured within the Star Lamp.

He decided to use it first.

This time, participating in the Imperial Palace Saint Heir selection, even the rewards from the first round preliminary selection alone are very generous.

But this generosity targets only the top ten, particularly the first place.

After the first place, at most, one can obtain a single Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch, while only the first place can obtain two.

No rush for testing.

For now, it’s best to claim as many rewards as possible.

The opportunity is indeed rare!

More than half a day later, the second refined Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch turned to ashes amid Xu Jin’s grimacing, and the first Purple Yuan Bone Vein on his waist was two-thirds complete.

One more Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branch, and the first Purple Yuan Bone Vein could be completed.

Unfortunately, there were no more in hand.

Moreover, Xu Jin’s Daoist embryo had shrunk by about four and a half inches compared to his physical body.

At this point, it was time to rapidly improve the cultivation level of the Daoist embryo.

In the next moment, Xu Jin started to consume one by one the Nine-rank Divine Soul Spirit Medicine, Eight-rank Divine Soul Spirit Medicine, and the upgraded Pill he had previously refined and upgraded in his Sumeru Space.

Not worrying about the waste.

The priority was to rapidly elevate the Divine Soul cultivation level in a short time.

Regarding these resources, Xu Jin had an abundance.

The many True Monarchs and Star Lords’ Sumeru Spaces he had seized provided him with ample resources, all refined and upgraded.

So much so that Xu Jin only kept the Divine Soul Spirit Medicines of the eighth and ninth ranks, leaving all lower-tier medicines in the Kunling Domain.

A day and a half later, Xu Jin looked at his Daoist embryo, which had returned to its original height, and slowly stored several Divine Soul Spirit Medicines in his Sumeru Space.

His Daoist embryo cultivation level had reached its limit again.

Compared to before, it had greatly improved.

From when he first entered, the Daoist embryo cultivation level had increased by about seven percent, and his waist had gained more than half a Purple Yuan Bone Vein.

”It’s a pity that there aren’t enough Thousand-year-old Purple Yuan Bodhi Branches; otherwise, within these three days, I could surely form a complete Purple Yuan Bone Vein, but the current improvement is enough!”

At that moment, Xu Jin continued to close his eyes and focus, invoking his Chaos Rhythm Power to further temper his Great Chaos Spirit Body.

Half a day later, a faint wave of Star Power arose, and the starlight sealing all quiet rooms of the candidates disappeared in an instant.

The moment he sensed something, Xu Jin stopped his cultivation and got up instantly; by the time he rushed to the training ground of the Saint Selection Camp, most candidates had already arrived.

”Brother Xu, how have your improvements been in the past few days?” He Moyu’s Divine Soul Transmission came through.

”A little bit! How about you?”

”Also a little bit!”

Xu Jin and He Moyu exchanged smiles, clearly not quite believing each other’s responses.

A pointless question.

Nonetheless, He Moyu had confidence in his cultivation progress, as he had also utilized some Divine Soul Spirit Medicines in his Sumeru Space.

Further away, several Emperor’s disciples, including Xiang Yan, Ling Fei, Ruan Shan, Ji Wei, Di Lan, and Gu Qingfeng, were also exchanging views.

Each spoke modestly, but a subtle self-satisfaction flashed in their eyes.

With the intervention of their Emperor teachers, their improvements were significant.

Each one occasionally glanced at the previous first-place Xu Jin.

Under normal circumstances, even a substantial improvement in Divine Soul cultivation level within a short period would not allow them to take first place.

Xu Jin’s points were leading them by ten or even twenty points.

Surpassing him was difficult.

But with the five-times calculated growth points, their scores could significantly increase.

There was a chance to contend for first place!

At this moment, everyone was eyeing the first round’s first place!

The preliminary rewards were so generous; what about the subsequent selections?

They surely won’t be any worse!

In the next instant, the voices of the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment and the Qian Yan True Monarch simultaneously rang out, hosting the re-selection.

[The first round of re-selection begins; candidates must enter the Tongyou Sacred Road in sequence, those who fail to enter within 100 breaths will be considered eliminated!]

The Emperor’s disciples entered the Tongyou Sacred Road immediately, and shortly after, Xu Jin followed.

The names on the projected star curtain in the void began to flash rapidly once again!
