the autumn exam is approaching, and I hope to see your performance.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then repeated the process and made a visit to the Governor, Tian Zhang’s home.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tian Zhang did not refuse Xu Jin’s gesture and encouraged him once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Also, regarding your involvement in the extermination of the Baidou Divine Sect, the National Taoist Institute has already calculated your merits, attributing two Great Merits to you!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the rules, with two Great Merits, you, as the Star Patrol Commander, could be promoted to Vice Flag Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the minimum cultivation requirement for a Vice Flag Master is the Star Casting Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have already endorsed this; once you break through to Star Casting, you will be promoted to Vice Flag Master of the Star Patrol,” said Tian Zhang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news from Tian Zhang greatly pleased Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was promoted again, but he had to wait to break through to the Star Casting Realm, and even then, he would be a Vice Flag Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Vice Flag Master is a subordinate official below the Flag Master, enjoying higher status than a team leader but lower than the Flag Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin only knew that the monthly salary of a Vice Flag Master was one hundred taels of Silver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That alone was enough to be happy about.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The breakthrough to Star Casting should not be far off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, in one or two months, Xu Jin’s monthly fixed income would double, increasing to one hundred taels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Later, Xu Jin visited Dean Cao Chun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the usually stern-faced Cao Chun showed a subtle smile upon seeing Xu Jin and similarly noticed the issue with Xu Jin’s cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surprised, he followed it with more encouragement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Xu Jin, carrying gifts, went to see Ning Yuchan, but the gift for her sister Jiang’er was the most thoughtfully prepared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It even included many snacks, like seeds and candied dried fruits, comprising dozens of varieties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin felt this inappropriate, but Jiang’er argued, “Yuchan is just in her twenties; isn’t it normal for her to enjoy some snacks?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I am your teacher, solving problems for students is my duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why are you giving gifts?” Among the four who brought gifts, Ning Yuchan had the fiercest temper; she nearly scolded Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From these experiences, Xu Jin had grown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You as a teacher solve problems, it’s your duty, but me as a student offering a little something to thank my teacher, that’s normal too.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sly talk!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With this time, you could have broken through to the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn sooner; you know, the Sixth Layer is a very important…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yuchan glared at Xu Jin, in the middle of scolding him when her eyes suddenly widened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as her gaze fell intensively upon Xu Jin, almost tangibly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ve broken through?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When did this happen?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Teacher, it was this morning,” Xu Jin quickly made up, figuring today’s breakthrough was less shocking than one from the day before yesterday.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So soon?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I remember you said you reached the Fifth Layer on July 5th; it’s only been twelve days since then, such speed!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yuchan, knowing the details, was truly astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How long had it taken First Yue Daqi to break through from the Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer during this period’s Star Pointing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A full thirty-five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both Lu Xianbing and Ren Xiaoxiang also took around thirty-five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Xu Jin had taken about twenty days, Ning Yuchan wouldn’t have been surprised but would have found it normal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because such a scenario existed; in her time, she took only twenty-eight days to break through from the Fifth Layer to the Sixth Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Jin, he only took twelve days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of incredible speed was that?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even disciples directly under the State Preceptor hadn’t advanced so quickly, had they?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Up and down, sizing Xu Jin, Ning Yuchan asked again, “Tell me honestly, when did you successfully engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, Ning Yuchan quickly added another line, “Think carefully before you answer; if you dare lie to me, don’t call me teacher ever again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin looked up in astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was being cautious, wary of Xu Jin deceiving her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Six days ago,” Xu Jin declared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yuchan’s almond eyes widened again as she quickly calculated a precise timing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had successfully engraved the Small Star Gathering Pattern on June 24th; six days prior was July 11th—seventeen days to successfully engrave the Great Gathering Star Pattern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This talent…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Many disciples at the institute hadn’t even succeeded with the Small Star Gathering Pattern yet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had already had his Great Gathering Star Pattern engraved for six days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Yuchan stood up, took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled, her chest heaving intensely, imparting a mountainous pressure to Xu Jin sitting there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Not bad, your talent was likely obscured by your previous heart condition, but that’s also a blessing, perhaps even a blessing in disguise,” said Ning Yuchan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A blessing in disguise?” Xu Jin didn’t understand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’ll understand later.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That day on Thousand Leaf Island, I saw your strong practical combat ability and had a thought that you might not be able to catch this autumn exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, you’re already at the Sixth Layer of Dining Dawn, and with the cultivation speed you’ve shown, in at most half a month, you’ll reach the Peak of the Seventh Layer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll make it for the exam, and perhaps you’ll even be able to help,” Ning Yuchan stated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The autumn exam?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Teacher, are you referring to the assessment several days from now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That shouldn’t be difficult for me, should it?” Xu Jin said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No, the autumn exam is large in scale, involving not just our Jinshan Taoist Institute but disciples from all Taoist institutes across Chen Country participating.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1088,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","697d6611f2d5763182f04f9201a4c451e073e01ab3c53f24c49ed3e6edb261cc","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-127","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-125",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
