Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 506 - 216: Preparing for a Rainy Day

After the State Preceptor had left, a somewhat abashed Xu Jin had made up his mind.

At the very least, he would pluck another Bright Star.

Currently, he had fourteen Copper Stars in hand, four remaining Silver Stars, seven Gold Stars, and two Bright Stars.

Xu Jin had concealed one Bright Star from the State Preceptor, which was reserved for the Divine Soul Star Pattern.

Plucking another Bright Star would be to repay the State Preceptor’s kindness.

Subsequently, Xu Jin carefully observed the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed gifted by the State Preceptor.

The Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed was pale golden in color, about the size of a date, with countless starlight-like patterns of varying shades on it. As soon as his thoughts sank into it, there was an instant feeling of being as comfortable as a fish in water.

According to the State Preceptor, the effect of the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed on enhancing Divine Soul Power was three times that of the Refining God Golden Pill.

The medicinal effect of Xu Jin’s Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill was six times that of a regular Refining God Golden Pill.

In other words, the medicinal effect of the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed was only half that of the Third Essence Refining God Golden Pill.

But even if it was only half as effective, it was a treasure for enhancing Divine Soul Power for anyone.

The question now was, could this item be nourished?

If it could be successfully nourished and enhanced...

With that thought, Xu Jin’s heart stirred.

Moments later, Xu Jin placed the Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed into the Star Lamp to begin nourishment.

Whether it worked or not, it was worth a try.

Even if ineffective, he could still consume it; if effective, all the better.

At least Xu Jin had never seen the Star Lamp damage Pills.

He would just let it be for now.

At the same time, Xu Jin took out all the Pills that had been nourishing in the Star Lamp for a long time.

The one that had been nourishing the longest was a top-grade Star Refining Pill, which had been nourished for over forty-two days.

But there were still no signs of becoming Fourth Essence.

It still only had Third Essence Starlight.

As his thoughts delved into it, it felt exactly the same as other Third Essence top-grade Star Refining Pills.

This meant that, up to this point, the limit for Pill nourishment in the Fourth Tier Candou Platform was still Third Essence.

The upgrade did not increase the nourishment limit.

Even if there were any, a nourishment period of over forty-two days had little practical value.

Whether there would be changes after future upgrades, no one knew.

But now, Xu Jin would no longer try.

For all Pills, Third Essence was the limit.

After organizing the Star Lamp, Xu Jin found that of the nineteen Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills he had previously acquired, all had reached Third Essence, five of which had to be reserved for Ning Yuchan.

But today, Xu Jin had gained another six.

With a thought, Xu Jin took out the nourished Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills and placed the newly acquired six for nourishment.

The Mental-locking Golden Pill and the Refining God Golden Pill prepared for his sister had also been well-nourished.

After sorting these out, Xu Jin realized the Star Lamp of the Candou Platform suddenly seemed somewhat empty.

The Star Lamp of the Fourth Tier Candou Platform could nourish four Pills at the same time, and now there were sixteen empty spots.

The Nine-leaf Golden Lotus Seed and the six Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills occupied seven spots. The daily consumption of Star Refining Pills was six, which needed to be nourished daily, taking up another six spots, but there were still three empty spots.

These three vacancies couldn’t be wasted.

He needed to plan ahead.

What kind of Pills should he nourish?

Should he nourish a few Second or Third Essence top-grade Star Refining Pills to quicken his cultivation progress?

After some thought, Xu Jin dismissed the idea.

One reason was to keep a lower profile, and the other was that Xu Jin’s current pace of cultivation was already considered fast. He estimated that within half a month, his cultivation would reach the Ninth Layer Peak of the Star Refining Realm.

Thus, Third Essence top-grade Star Refining Pills were pointless for him.

Suddenly, Xu Jin thought of the Fourth Tier!

Since he was going to reach the Ninth Layer Peak of the Star Refining Realm in half a month, he should start preparing Pills for the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm early.

Upon achieving the Star Condensing Realm, Xu Jin would no longer attract so much attention.

Moreover, in the Fourth Tier, many experts would focus on mastering the Central Star Palace. Even the top geniuses of the Star Hall would set aside their cultivation in the Lower Star Palace.

This was something Qi had told Xu Jin.

By that time, Xu Jin could make parallel progress in both the Upper and Lower Star Palaces.

In the evening, he would need to make a trip to the Foreign Affairs Hall to buy some Pills in advance for cultivation in the Fourth Tier Star Condensing Realm.

Considering that the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills had been well-nourished, Xu Jin, who had just finished his early practice, decided to consume one or two to test their effects.

To see the effect of the Third Essence Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.

Previously, according to Liu Qingzhu, the teacher, the effect of the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills was roughly the same for different people.

For those whose Divine Soul Cultivation was at the Third-level Star Refining Realm, four Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills could promote a tier of Divine Soul Cultivation.

Much more effective than the rigorous training on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs.

For most Divine Soul Star Refiners, depending on their perseverance, it would take eight to twelve trials on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs to improve by one layer of cultivation.

And an opportunity on the Heavenly Ascending Stairs cost ten thousand Taoist Merit for one trial.

Therefore, the market price for a Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill was as high as fifteen thousand Taoist Merit per pill, yet no one sold them, usually, they would go to auction.

It was normal for a single pill to fetch a high price of twenty thousand Taoist Merit at auction.

It could be said that the six Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills gifted by the State Preceptor were also a tremendously generous gift.

In the next instant, Xu Jin swallowed a Third Essence Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill, eager to find out how much it could enhance his Divine Soul Cultivation.

Especially since Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Cultivation had already broken through to the Fourth Tier.

The moment it entered his mouth, a clear qi rushed directly to the Upper Star Palace in the shape of a dragon turtle. As the two Divine Soul Stars in Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace began spinning rapidly, the clear qi was swiftly devoured, and Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Stars started to grow rapidly.

Fifteen minutes later, after the pill’s potency had been fully absorbed, Xu Jin felt a significant increase in his Divine Soul Power, but the progress in his Divine Soul Cultivation advancement was not substantial.
