But you’ve asked the right person; if it were someone else, getting some Iron Essence would be easy, but securing over a hundred catties would be difficult! Thus, I’ll make some contacts. In two days, I’ll give my worthy nephew a location where you can directly pick up the goods,” said Ying Bonian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin was overjoyed and hurriedly thanked him again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This is the benefit of expanding one’s circle of friends.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More friends make tasks easier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Uncle Ying, how much would the costs be? Shall I settle them with you in advance?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re being too formal. These items aren’t worth much; I’ll give them to you directly. Don’t be so formal with me, just this once!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For future dealings, we’ll go by the book,” Ying Bonian laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin expressed his gratitude once more and agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After seeing off Ying Ge and his son, Xu Jin felt greatly relieved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gifts received had solved many issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also secured cultivation resources for his sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Particularly, the Mental-locking Golden Pills; Xu Jin had even planned to ask Teacher Liu for help using her status to exchange for two pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, someone had directly brought them to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had also received top-grade Transcendence Pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But from the gifts Ying Bonian had given, the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill was indeed precious. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have given only one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thinking it over, Xu Jin happily returned to the quiet room and continued to refine the Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour later, the Star Stepping Boots flashed with Starlight. Accommodating the changes with Xu Jin’s intentions, they fitted onto his feet perfectly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a trace of Starlight almost intangible had connected to Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace, ready to activate the Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots anytime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The various wonderful uses of the Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots emerged one by one in Xu Jin’s mind after the refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most basic function was still a speed enhancement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots, made from materials possessing Wind Series properties, could make the wearer light as a feather, increasing speed by forty percent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was just the basic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beyond that, an emblem embedded into the boots enabled the Stepping Star Skill!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stepping Star Skill was originally a Star Skill that only Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm experts could perform, allowing them to stride upon stars and ascend to the skies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In other words, it enabled flight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Prior to this, no matter how fast Xu Jin’s movement technique was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he could only leap about a hundred meters high before falling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he could stride upon stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Combined with the Flying Star Step or the Blast Thunder Step, he could now fly in mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Stepping Star Skill required both Divine Soul Power and Starlight to activate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And since it was an engraving on a Fourth Tier Star Artifact, its power was limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, the Fourth Tier Star Stepping Boots had several other minor uses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waterproof, dustproof, and fireproof, the boots also possessed the defensive power of Fourth Tier Armor but only protected the feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most crucial feature was a simple covert function.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That is, without inputting Starlight, they were just like ordinary boots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one could tell the difference.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Including the waterproof, dustproof, and fireproof functions, these features only activated when Starlight was input.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Honestly, these minor functionalities were Xu Jin’s favorites.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially the covert function, which was fantastic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin could wear them daily without worrying about exposure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When needed, a simple input of Starlight would activate them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Xu Jin would have to carry a pair of boots every time he went out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In times of battle, there might not even be time to change shoes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, the Wang Family Head Wang Ju, accompanied by his son Wang Jiugao from Pill State, have come to visit,” Qing Fan announced just after the refinement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This surprised Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Had they planned to come together?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ju, the Wang Family Head, was a very stern middle-aged man; even his hair and beard were impeccably groomed, somewhat like a researcher from a past life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spoke very formally as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Jiugao, typically quite free-spirited, sat upright and behaved very formally in the presence of Wang Ju.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Forgive us, Elder Martial Brother. Such is my father’s nature, I hope you don’t mind,” Wang Jiugao communicated telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After exchanging courtesies,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ju presented a list of gifts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin glanced over it, and his eyes lit up; they were all Emblems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One Fifth Tier Emblem, three Fourth Tier Emblems, and ten Third Tier Emblems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Third Tier Emblems were relatively easy to value, equating to just a few hundred Taoist Merits, but a single Fourth Tier Emblem was worth at least a thousand Taoist Merits. As for the Fifth Tier Emblem, it was truly a treasure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even in Wanyi, a Fifth Tier Emblem was priceless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Owning one was akin to possessing a one-time Fifth Tier Gathering Battle Realm bodyguard—who would sell such a thing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sales would only occur within a small internal circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Xu Jin accepted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was necessary to reciprocate; it keeps the relationship reciprocal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin assisted Wang Jiugao; that was an initiation, and now the Wang family reciprocating with gifts was a response.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reciprocity brought their relationship to a new level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, without waiting for Wang Ju to speak, Xu Jin took the initiative to add him as a friend, which made Wang Jiugao even happier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a son, having his father respected by others is the highest form of respect!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a while, having seen off Wang Ju and his son,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin sensed the emblems.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth Tier Emblem—Fire Meteor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two of the Fourth Tier Emblems were defensive, both Fourth Tier Earth Series defensive emblems Golden Bell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other was offensive—Fourth Tier Emblem—Dawn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All valuable items.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young Master, the Yin Family from West Sea State has come to visit,” Qing Fan reported before Xu Jin had even settled in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seemed clear to Xu Jin now; these families had coordinated their visit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It also became evident that in the National Taoist Institute, anyone who became a True Inheritor had a powerful and wealthy family backing them.\u003C\u002Fp>",1074,"2026-06-03T07:35:47.822Z",1,"novelbin.me","d70341961125ad8a85565db2f11e08b3fc19232b24a32b487914622e6f7fbca2","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-413","star-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-chapter-411",1647,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstar-martial-era-the-way-of-star-light-cultivati-cover.jpg"]
