Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 447 - 194 Conditions_2

Moreover, the Divine Soul attack was slightly different from Breaking Evil from before, it was explosive.

Similar to a concussion.

Easier to hit the target, as for the power, it still needed to be tested.

The only problem was the exorbitant consumption.

A single Flame Flower would consume one-tenth of Xu Jin’s Star Power and half of his Divine Soul Power.

However, the power was adequately strong.

Especially now, completely solidified above the fourth Star Lamp, instantaneous!

Absolute instantaneous!

But if Xu Jin himself were to use it, it would be hard to achieve instantaneous execution.

Four Star Patterns, one after another, combining, even if drawing power from different Star Cores, it always took time.

The gap between them was obvious.

Xu Jin made a comparison, and it was faster than his Flame Burst.

Xu Jin’s Flame Burst, which was a combination of Star Burst Technique and the Blast Flame Star Pattern, could achieve instantaneous execution, but in reality, it also took time, though very brief.

But when engraved and solidified onto a Star Lamp, it was truly instantaneous.

Basically, Xu Jin could unleash the new Star Skill three times instantaneously while his Flame Burst could only be launched twice.

Normally, this wouldn’t have any impact, but in a duel between experts, this tiny gap in time was the difference between life and death.

He needed a name.

What would be a good name?

After Xu Jin pulled out several strands of his hair, he finally thought of a suitable name—Soul-shaking Golden Lotus.

As soon as Xu Jin had this thought, there was an immediate change within the Star Lamp.

[Star Lamp Four: Solidified Star Skill, Soul-shaking Golden Lotus]

Xu Jin felt that with Soul-shaking Golden Lotus as a foundation, his chances of obtaining the Bright Star had moved a step closer.

Xu Jin continued to study the other changes of the Candou Platform.

Stepping onto the Candou Platform and offering salutations immediately granted him four strands of Fourth Tier Starlight.

This was expected.

Drawing one strand of Fourth Tier Starlight into his body instantly replenished the three-tenths of Star Power he had expended.

The Star Power capacity of Fourth Tier Starlight, compared to that of Third Tier, had doubled.

A few moments later, Xu Jin also placed Pills and Emblems inside the fourth Star Lamp for nourishment.

After upgrading to a Fourth Tier Candou Platform, a single Star Lamp could now simultaneously nurture four Pills or four Emblems, significantly boosting the efficiency of cultivation.

After some thought, Xu Jin placed another Star Core on the Candou Platform’s offering table.

Another Fourth Order Middle Thunder Spirit Star Core.

For the Protection Star Pattern, Xu Jin chose Purple Thunder Bomb.

Purple Thunder Bomb was the signature Star Skill of the imperial family of the Purple Wings clan from the Purple Wind Star Domain, powerful and swift.

Xu Jin was now obtaining it as a Ritual Officer, also in preparation for picking the Golden Star and even the Bright Star later on.

Of course, during the process of Golden Star Picking, Xu Jin would refrain from using it if he could.

He needed to preserve his strength.

At the same time, another thought emerged in Xu Jin’s mind—could the Heart Demon in the Star-picking Secret Realm learn the new Star Skill, Soul-shaking Golden Lotus, after he used it inside the Star Tower?

This was a question!

During his next challenge, Xu Jin would have to pay deliberate attention to this. freewebnøvel.coɱ

The upgrade of the Candou Platform this time could be described as a huge harvest.

Apart from not gaining the ability to nurture Star Artifacts as Xu Jin had hoped, everything else exceeded his expectations.

What changes would occur when upgrading the Candou Platform to the Fifth Order next time?

Thinking of this, Xu Jin directed his focus to the Candou Platform’s Jade Tablet to check what was required to upgrade from Fourth to Fifth Order.

But with just one glance, Xu Jin felt discouraged.

The cost of upgrading increased with each tier.

The price of upgrading the Candou Platform to Fifth Tier seemed astonishingly high compared to advancing to Fourth Tier.

Xu Jin felt that his wealth was not quite sufficient.

He had to work harder.

[Eligible for Upgrade: Requires ten thousand strands of Starlight, eighty-one Fifth Order Star Jade Tablets, ten thousand catties of Iron Essence, one thousand catties of Copper Essence, ten thousand catties of silver, one thousand taels of gold, ten catties of Star Fallen Iron, ten thousand-year Turtle Shells, three Red Sparrow Feathers]

Essentially, it was more than ten times what was required from Third to Fourth Tier.

And a new item was added, Red Sparrow Feather.

Yet, what alarmed Xu Jin the most was the ten thousand strands of Starlight.

This most likely referred to Fourth Tier Starlight.

Under normal circumstances, one could gather four strands of Starlight each day by worshipping the stars. After a small seven or eight years, without consuming a single strand, one might amass ten thousand strands.

It seems that I still need to use the Star Jade Tablet to replenish, and it must be a Fourth Tier Star Jade Tablet.

Nearly ten thousand Fourth Tier Star Jade Tablets, this is absolutely a colossal fortune.

In the short term, Xu Jin had no hope of upgrading the Candou Platform to the Fifth Tier.

However, Xu Jin was still very much looking forward to it, determined to strive hard to upgrade the Candou Platform.

Up until now, each upgrade of the Candou Platform had brought enormous gains to Xu Jin.

Fifteen minutes later, Xu Jin had collected his thoughts and began to cultivate, continuing the arduous practice of the Central Star Palace.

After completing his cultivation, Xu Jin plunged into the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm of the Star-picking Tower, continuing to challenge the ranking of the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm.

The competition in the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm was fiercely intense; if one missed a day, their ranking could drop by tens of thousands, even by over a hundred thousand places.

Xu Jin estimated that in another three or four days, he would be able to break into the top three thousand ranks within the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm of the Star-picking Tower.

By then, the real battle would begin!

*****

On September 23rd, Xu Jin continued his rigorous practice and spent even more time learning in the National Taoist Institute’s Library, striving to complete the State Preceptor’s task in the shortest time possible and begin ordinary Tao Derivation.

In the afternoon, Xu Jin had completely used up his five opportunities to temper his Divine Soul on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs.

Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation had reached the late period of the Eighth Tier of Refining Star.

Given the current progress, he needed two more opportunities on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs for his Divine Soul Cultivation to break through to the Ninth Tier of Refining Star.

However, purchasing a single opportunity to use the Heavenly Ascending Stairs cost ten thousand Taoist Merits.

Too expensive, Xu Jin couldn’t afford it.

Xu Jin chose to take medicine directly.

The other Mental-locking Golden Pill that Xu Jin had obtained before was at the Third Essence.

It was time to take it.

Having already taken one Mental-locking Golden Pill, judging from the trial effects on Ning Yuchan, the efficacy of the second Mental-locking Golden Pill, even with a Third Essence, would be significantly reduced by at least 40%.

However, even with a reduction of 40%, it was enough for Xu Jin to break through to the Ninth Tier of Refining Star with his Divine Soul Cultivation.

As long as his Divine Soul Cultivation broke through to the Ninth Tier of Refining Star, the Refining God Golden Pill that Xu Jin had received over a month ago could also be taken.

The next instant, the round, pale golden Mental-locking Golden Pill was swallowed by Xu Jin, and immediately a cool sensation rushed to his forehead. His Divine Soul Star from the Upper Star Palace began to spin rapidly, quickly absorbing the drug efficacy of the Mental-locking Golden Pill.

The Cultivation Level of Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star was rapidly increasing, strand by strand.

Soon, it reached the peak of the Eighth Layer of Refining Star, and after a few breaths, the first strand of Star Ring Light appeared for the Ninth Layer’s Star Halo, signifying that Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation had officially broken through to the Ninth Tier of Refining Star.

But the efficacy of this Mental-locking Golden Pill was still ongoing.

Xu Jin urged his Divine Soul Star, continuously absorbing the drug’s efficacy.

Fifteen minutes later, the rising cool sensation in his stomach had completely dissipated, signifying that the drug’s efficacy of this Mental-locking Golden Pill had also been completely exhausted.

After inner inspection, the Ninth Layer’s Star Halo of Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Star in the Upper Star Palace was now more than half complete.

He was just a little past the middle period of the Ninth Tier of Refining Star.

Indeed, the tests on Ning Yuchan had not been wrong.

After the Third Essence, taking the second Pill would result in a 40% reduction in drug efficacy, leaving 60% remaining.

But even at 60%, it was more than enough.

The drug efficacy of a Third Essence Mental-locking Golden Pill was six times that of an ordinary one.

With 60% efficacy, it was equivalent to taking three and a half Pills.

A tremendous improvement.

Xu Jin had decided; he would also let Jiang’er take two Mental-locking Golden Pills and two Refining God Golden Pills.

Of course, he wouldn’t have Jiang’er take them consecutively.

He would let Jiang’er take them gradually in the future.

Not to rise too quickly.

"Should I take the plunge and undergo the Star Condensation of the Divine Soul in one go?"

Xu Jin pondered upon his recent promotion in Divine Soul Cultivation.

After careful deliberation for a moment, Xu Jin made his decision.

His Divine Soul Cultivation had already reached the middle period of the Ninth Tier, and with the drug efficacy of the Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill, the likelihood of him achieving Star Condensation in one go was extremely high.

Even if he couldn’t, he still had the second pill of the Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill as a remedy.

Since the conditions were right, it was better to undergo Divine Soul Star Condensation sooner rather than later.

After Divine Soul Star Condensation, both Xu Jin’s cultivation speed and combat power would see yet another surge!

Xu Jin took out the Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill that had been nourished and was almost half a month complete.

The intertwining of starlight with the golden light was exceptionally magnificent!

The next instant, Xu Jin directly swallowed it into his stomach.
