Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 531 - 224 Successor_2

Sixth Tier Emblems are astronomically priced.

Often times, you couldn’t buy them even if you wanted to.

A single one represents the full force of a Sixth Tier Expert’s strike—who wouldn’t want to buy?

*****

Returning to his own courtyard, Xu Jin began studying how to engrave Fourth Tier Emblems.

Academician Kou had given Xu Jin some advice on engraving Fourth Tier Emblems.

He suggested that Xu Jin should engrave Star Patterns that he had fully mastered, as that would result in the highest success rate.

Kou Jing’s advice was for Xu Jin to engrave the Fourth Tier Spiral Flame Burst Emblem, which would have the highest yield rate, and its power was not to be underestimated.

That is Star Burst, plus Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern plus Blast Flame Star Pattern and one Spiral Star Pattern; normally, the resulting product should be a Fourth Order Middle Grade Emblem, but it would be much more difficult to make it a Fourth Tier Upper Grade Emblem.

The limitation of the Star Pattern was there.

Xu Jin felt that he was very familiar with these Star Patterns, as he had practiced each one tens of thousands of times within the Star Lamp. Therefore, he wanted to try engraving by hand directly.

But once he started, he realized the difficulty of engraving Fourth Tier Emblems, which was more than double that of engraving Third Tier Emblems.

The first one exploded upon engraving!

This really made Xu Jin feel distressed.

A piece of Fourth Tier Star Jade was worth a thousand Taoist Merit.

However, Xu Jin was using the stock from his last incursion into the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain.

During his last entry into the Third Tier Purple Wind Star Domain, Xu Jin had stored a thousand pieces of Star Jade at the Candou Platform, where over eight hundred were Fourth Tier Star Jade, which he was now using for intensive processing.

Who would have expected it to explode upon engraving!

Xu Jin could only practice earnestly within the Star Lamp!

He kept practicing until he was skilled.

After all, an explosion during engraving meant a loss of a thousand Taoist Merits.

After practicing for a day and a half and tens of thousands of repetitions within the Star Lamp, on the afternoon of October 14th, Xu Jin finally succeeded in creating a Fourth Tier Emblem.

It was a Fourth Order Middle Grade Spiral Flame Burst Emblem.

Xu Jin made a total of five pieces, with one explosion in between. One could imagine the difficulty of the Fourth Tier.

However, Xu Jin did not continue to engrave Emblems. After taking a short nap for an hour, he restored himself to his peak condition, and then went directly to the Pill Dawn Academy.

At the entrance of the Pill Dawn Academy, his senior brother Pang Yu was on duty.

Xu Jin did not send a message in advance but simply bowed to Pang Yu and then went straight into the Pill Dawn Hall.

This was a special privilege granted to Xu Jin by the State Preceptor.

Pang Yu was both envious and jealous.

"Here you are."

National Master Cheng Yue Xiao looked up to see that it was Xu Jin and put aside his work, "You’re ready then."

"I’m ready. I’ve studied most of the Star Pattern research handbooks in the Library. I plan to deduce the Star Pattern to verify what I’ve learned, and then continue my studies," Xu Jin said.

"Which Star Pattern do you plan to deduce?"

"I plan to continue deducing the Fire Origin Star Pattern and also want to deduce the Warm Dream Star Pattern once more," Xu Jin said.

"Are you planning to deduce two at the same time?"

"Yes! National Master, I have thoroughly comprehended the Warm Dream Star Pattern research handbook you gave me, and I plan to deduce it. Even if I fail, I will accumulate a great deal of experience," Xu Jin said.

"Alright, then let’s go."

The next instant, National Master Cheng Yue Xiao instantly pulled Xu Jin and as the starlight flashed, he brought Xu Jin into the Star Dome Secret Realm at the top floor of the Star-picking Tower.

"The effects of deducing here should be a little better. Also, your authority within the Star Tower should be copper level, which gives you one two-hour Enlightenment session each month.

During your deduction later, activate this Enlightenment effect and you will achieve twice the result with half the effort!" National Master Cheng Yue Xiao said.

"Does the Master mean that this Star Dome Secret Realm Enlightenment can enhance the deduction effect?" Xu Jin asked, puzzled.

"Of course!"

"I have deduced many Star Patterns using the Enlightenment of the Star Dome Secret Realm! You must not underestimate the authority of the Star-picking Tower.

Based on my own experience, the Enlightenment effect of the Star Dome Secret Realm is about one third as effective as regular Tao Derivation.

When this effect is compounded, it can be exceedingly powerful!

I once used it at its best and with the aid of a Gold Star, I advanced the Seventh Tier Wind Origin Star Pattern directly from Seventh Tier Lower to Seventh Tier Upper," Cheng Yuxiao said.

"I understand."

"Well... how do I activate it?" Xu Jin was a bit puzzled.

"Just command the Star Spirit to activate it."

So that’s how it is.

As Xu Jin sat cross-legged, he summoned the Star Spirit with his mind.

As soon as he called out,

A flood of curses and complaints rushed towards him like tidal waves.

"Why have you only come now!"

"Why haven’t you contacted me in such a long time!"

"I’m almost suffocating..."

...

"If you keep this up, you’ll never see anything about Sun Monkey again," Xu Jin said.

"You dare not give them to me, then don’t expect me to serve you!" the Star Spirit actually threatened Xu Jin.

"Fine then, I’ll just leave now. I won’t need your service anymore!"

Xu Jin pretended to leave.

"Hey, wait!"

Seeing Xu Jin about to walk away, the Star Spirit immediately gave in, "Can’t I stop scolding you, will that be alright?"

"You have to listen to me!"

The Star Spirit hesitated.

"Actually, I’ve already prepared the continuation for you, but you’re not very obedient, and I don’t want to give it to you."

"I will obey, I’ll definitely obey!" Upon hearing this, the Star Spirit hurriedly assured.

Xu Jin laughed. This was progress. In the future, he could gradually obtain other information.

"Now, first help me activate this month’s Enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm."

"Alright."

"By the way, I only have one two-hour chunk each month, can you help me open it up for longer?" Xu Jin asked tentatively.

"No, that I cannot do. I don’t have that kind of authority! I’m just an assistant, I can’t make that decision." The Star Spirit shook its head.

"Useless!"

Xu Jin threw out a disparaging comment, infuriating the Star Spirit, who wanted to curse but didn’t dare to, leaving it with no choice but to activate Xu Jin’s Enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm.
