a raging fire had already started on Guan Ji’s body, and if he had been any slower, much would have been burnt to ashes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fortunately, both the backpack and the small bag held close were treated with special methods, equipped with certain water and fireproof abilities, and had good anti-shock performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Jin carried out the search, apart from the elixir bottle being shattered, most of the other items were intact.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Xu Jin was inspecting them, he suddenly felt an unusual gaze from behind and saw Wang Jiugao, whom he had just rescued, watching him with a shocked and incredulous look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was even a hint of self-doubt in his eyes!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scene genuinely shocked Wang Jiugao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In terms of status, Wang Jiugao was also a True Disciple, ranked fifteenth, with a cultivation level equivalent to Xu Jin’s, both at the Third Layer of Refining Star.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regarding external objects, both possessed Third-tier Star Weapons of the same type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the difference in combat power…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been chased by Guan Ji and could only escape using a Top-Grade Third-tier Dream Chasing Emblem, while Xu Jin killed Guan Ji with a single move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a second before, Wang Jiugao saw Xu Jin appear, instantly turned around, and thought to join forces with Xu Jin to kill Guan Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But unexpectedly, in one move!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had killed Guan Ji, the very enemy Wang had been desperately fleeing from!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, Wang Jiugao was aware of his own standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin, being the Top of the Autumn Exam, was undoubtedly stronger than him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the extent of the strength difference, should be limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s like taking an exam: If Wang Jiugao, the true fifteenth, scores 110, then Xu Jin, the first true inheritor, scores 120—that should be the gap, right?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, Wang Jiugao realized that it wasn’t the case at all!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still scoring 110, but Xu Jin, his score was 300, perhaps even 400!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery was somewhat hurtful!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although rescued, as a talented youth from the National Taoist Institute, his heart still suffered a heavy blow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wang, are you…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>are you all right?” Xu Jin asked, seeing Wang Jiugao stand there stupefied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Senior Brother, I’m fine!”Wang Jiugao didn’t realize his own slip of the tongue; he had started calling Xu Jin ‘Senior Brother’ instead of the usual ‘Senior Brother Xu’.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>‘Senior Brother Xu’ represented ranking or seniority.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But ‘Senior Brother’ represented—admiration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Wang Jiugao unharmed, Xu Jin began to inventory the items retrieved from Guan Ji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, Xu Jin was still somewhat expectant, perhaps he might find something good on a Star Hall disciple?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the inventory, Xu Jin was disappointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not much different from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was normal, after all, under the stringent checks of the State Preceptor and the Left Libationer, only items within the rules could be brought in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Emblems were all the same.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found only four: one Dream Chasing Emblem, and three Low-level Star Healing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were somewhat more elixirs: two bottles of Four Mysterious Star Recovery Pills, four bottles of Three Elements Returning Star Pills, two bottles of Top-Grade Rejuvenation Pills, one bottle of regular Star Refining Pills, one bottle of Top-Grade Star Refining Pills; in terms of elixirs, the gains were not small, worth hundreds of threads of Starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the backpack, there were over twenty Third-tier Star Cores, and five Third-tier Upper Star Cores, which could also be exchanged for some Taoist Merits when taken back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Third-tier Star Weapons, the Star Armor had been blasted apart by Xu Jin, leaving only one Third-tier Star Weapon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Take a look, is there anything you want?” Xu Jin called out to Wang Jiugao while fiddling with two small items in his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One was an ordinary-looking jade bead with a weak Star Power aura but occasionally flashed with Starlight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was an ordinary Third-tier Star Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Third-tier Star Jade could also be used for restoring Star Power and for making Emblems, as it contained rich Star Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this piece of Third-tier Star Jade felt slightly light in hand, and the Star Power was quite weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Casually fiddling with it, Xu Jin suddenly discovered traces of sealing wax.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This piece of Third-tier Star Jade seemed to have been split open in the middle and then sealed back together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Star Power as sharp as a knife, he instantly split open this piece of Third-tier Star Jade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin’s face changed instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This unusual Third-tier Star Jade turned out to be hollow inside, hiding a purple Broken Feather the length of a thumb in its center!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Broken Feather, the aura was strong, but the moment Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power surged into it, a flood of malicious flames instantly surged forth!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The aura was strong, but only an aura, without any tangible force!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This aura was at least that of an expert in the mid to late periods of the Star Condensing Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, a purple Broken Feather, the feather pattern and color were very similar to the Purple Winged Alien Race that Xu Jin had killed before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This gave Xu Jin an uneasy premonition—that the Star Hall disciple carrying this purple Broken Feather meant it was not merely a keepsake; there had to be an important role.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What could that role be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At best, it might avoid detection by the experts of the Star Condensing Realm in the Purple Wind Star Domain; that’s the lightest use, and if things got serious, it could make contact with the experts of the Purple Winged Alien Race at critical moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or even—command them!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it were for command, that would be terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In an instant, Xu Jin thought of reporting!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Report to the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao, reporting the possibility of foul play by the Star Hall disciple, perhaps cheating!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, upon further thought, it was futile!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Firstly, they couldn’t be contacted now; secondly, even if he presented this piece of the purple Broken Feather, what could that prove?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple Broken Feather could be obtained within the Third-tier Purple Wind Star Domain.\u003C\u002Fp>",1071,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.821Z",1,"novelbin.me","786347c0748d3ea3ae130c319bba3c0a280a1c85a40c443dfc9dc0c42e70905d","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-249","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-248",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
