Chapter 105: Sister

【Qi Tian Da Sheng, congratulations on winning third place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, you have obtained the "Flat Field Starlight" title, maintain it for seven days, and you will permanently obtain the "Flat Field Starlight" title】

【Qi Tian Da Sheng, congratulations on winning third place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, every seven days you maintain it, you will obtain a starlight reward of five wisps】

【Flat Field Starlight: Standing out from millions of people, shining in the world like starlight. Obtaining this title, you can send one starlight message for free every day, and trading in the Ten Thousand Star Hall can obtain a one-percent weighting】

Three consecutive lines of information made Xu Jin both surprised and happy.

Breaking into third place actually obtained the special title of "Flat Field Starlight."

The key was that this special title also had benefits.

The one-percent weighting for trading in the Ten Thousand Star Hall couldn't be seen or touched for now, so Xu Jin didn't care much.

Roughly, it should be that trading one hundred taels of silver should be able to get a one-percent discount.

But being able to send one starlight message for free every day was very nice.

A starlight message worth one hundred taels of silver, being able to send it for free once a day—if Xu Jin didn't use it once every day, he would feel it was a waste of this one hundred taels.

As for why he lost the last battle with "Not Much" but was promoted to third place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, Xu Jin had already discovered the reason.

The original first place on the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm ranking list, "Treading Star River," had disappeared.

The first place had become the original second place, "Yue Zhongying."

Then there were only two possibilities: one was that "Treading Star River" had died and disappeared, and the other possibility was that Treading Star River had broken through in star-forging.

After the star-forging cultivation broke through, one would detach from the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Xu Jin estimated that it should be the second reason.

"Not Much" was a top genius of the Cangming Shang Xinggong, so the first place "Treading Star River," who could suppress "Not Much" and make him unable to fight, must also be a top genius from some star palace or some national Dao Academy, and would not easily perish.

Staring at the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm ranking list for a long time, Xu Jin's gaze finally settled on the first place, "Yue Zhongying."

Two days, at most two days, with one more marrow-cleansing session, Xu Jin would be able to completely defeat "Not Much." By then, Xu Jin would be able to obtain second place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm and would be able to challenge the first place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, "Yue Zhongying."

Xu Jin was very eager to try what kind of strength "Yue Zhongying," who had made "Not Much" lose six times in a row, actually had.

Xu Jin was even more eager to know, did the first place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm have any special title?

If there was, the benefits would definitely be stronger than the third place "Flat Field Starlight," right?

July 21st night, Xu Jin fought "Not Much" for six rounds in the Star-Plucking Tower again.

Three wins and three losses, Xu Jin briefly obtained second place.

But subsequently, "Not Much" challenged Xu Jin again and won.

Xu Jin's ranking returned to third place.

After deliberating for a long time, Xu Jin didn't break the rules to challenge again. Third place was third place; it didn't matter for this one day.

July 22nd morning, after taking two Marrow-Cleansing Pills nurtured to the first level of nourishment in succession, Xu Jin achieved his fifth marrow-cleansing.

At this time, two days had passed since Xu Jin completed his fourth marrow-cleansing, and he had taken a total of eight first-level nurtured Marrow-Cleansing Pills, and his star power increased by another ten percent.

That day, Xu Jin went to the Dao Academy, found Ning Yuchan, and went to Dean Dong Zhao's small courtyard again to enjoy a round of devastation.

Actually, Xu Jin didn't want to go.

But it was only two times in total to complete the perfection; this one time didn't matter.

According to Dong Zhao, it was only a little bit of pain, just endure it and it would pass.

But this pain was really not "a little bit," because this time, the star power infusion from Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao lasted a full thirty minutes.

The moment he persisted to the end, Xu Jin fainted again.

Just like before, Xu Jin woke up in Ning Yuchan's room, and Ning Yuchan had taken a bath again.

As for the reason Ning Yuchan took a bath, Xu Jin already knew; Old Qi had mentioned it.

Giving star power infusion to a disciple at the seventh layer of Meal of Mist consumed a huge amount, not inferior to conducting a life-and-death battle.

Conducting it once required half a day or even a whole day to recover.

Being soaked in sweat was a very normal thing.

After the second star power infusion ended, Xu Jin didn't achieve his sixth marrow-cleansing.

It wasn't that the star power infusion failed, but it was a very normal thing. To achieve the sixth marrow-cleansing, the pills had to exert more force.

But what surprised Xu Jin was the improvement of his divine soul power.

After the last star power infusion, the fourth halo of the Divine Soul Star, which had originally condensed more than half, actually became complete.

Fourth layer of Refine Star.

Under two star power infusions, Xu Jin's Divine Soul Star actually broke through to the fourth layer.

The most direct effect was that Xu Jin's star technique power improved again.

However, in the past few days, Xu Jin's star technique power had been improving continuously.

Previously, every time Xu Jin underwent marrow-cleansing, the power of his star power basically improved a bit, but the improvement was very stable.

For example, Star Arrows—every time he underwent marrow-cleansing, the farthest blasting distance improved by one inch, and the star ring improved by half an inch.

After the fifth marrow-cleansing was completed, Xu Jin's Star Arrows could blast out seventeen feet at the farthest, and the star ring could blast out more than eight and a half feet.

Star Rope—Xu Jin also livered it to Great Perfection in the Star Lamp. At first, he could only condense a star rope nine feet long; now, he could condense a star rope close to fourteen feet.

This was a star rope nearly five meters long; in actual combat, its effect was becoming stronger and stronger, and its power was also becoming stronger and stronger.

And today, after the Divine Soul Star reached the fourth layer of Refine Star, Star Arrows—eighteen feet, star ring—nine feet, star rope—fourteen and a half feet.

Star technique power improved again.

"Teacher, if this can rapidly improve divine soul power, wouldn't it be possible to ask teachers to come for star power infusion every once in a while? In this way, divine soul power could be continuously improved, wouldn't it be like opening a cheat?" In the backyard, Xu Jin asked Qi Shanye about this question.

"Opening a cheat? What does that mean?" Qi Shanye didn't understand this term.

"Uh..."

This actually stumped Xu Jin; the meaning that everyone originally understood, but here it was hard to explain.

"Teacher, roughly it means extraordinary external support..." Xu Jin said several words before barely explaining the meaning of opening a cheat.

"Isn't that just cheating? Not clear, it seems you also need to study articles with me properly."

Qi Shanye despised Xu Jin.

"It won't work. The path you can see, can the experts of the major star palaces and major national Dao Academies not see it?

This kind of improvement of divine soul power after star power infusion is actually a kind of improvement that appears after extreme devastation of the cultivator's divine soul.

The more times, the weaker the effect.

Generally, the first two times have the best effect, the third time the effect is relatively poor, and the fourth and fifth times basically have no effect, and if you are not careful, it is easy to really damage the divine soul, which is not worth the loss." Qi Shanye said.

The master and disciple chatted for a while, and just when Xu Jin was about to enter the Star-Plucking Tower to fight "Not Much" again, Qi Shanye said suddenly, "Are you planning to let your sister point stars?"

"Yes, Teacher. Otherwise, I wouldn't have taught her the Five-Battle Killing Fist frame, letting her get familiar with the Five-Battle Killing Fist early."

During the few days at home, Xu Jin took advantage of his free time to teach the Five-Battle Killing Fist frame to his sister Xu Jiang, letting her get familiar with it first.

By the time of star-pointing, she could also save two or three days of time.

After all, practicing the Five-Battle Killing Fist until proficient would also take several days.

This didn't count as cheating.

Xu Jin had already learned from chatting with Lu Xianbing and Yu Guan before that, as long as it was a family with a little cultivation foundation, before their children entered the Dao Academy to point stars, the foundation had already been laid well.

For example, the Five-Battle Killing Fist, already practiced until proficient.

As long as they point stars, they could immediately start body-tempering, not delaying a single bit of time.

Xu Jin had a plan to let his sister point stars, so he started teaching.

"Since you want to let your sister point stars, do you want to make your sister's probability of pointing stars higher, and her cultivation speed faster after pointing stars successfully?" Qi Shanye said.

Xu Jin was stunned, "There is still such a method?"

"Of course there is."

Qi Shanye nodded, "The great families and the interior of the star palaces all have such methods, which count as the foundation of some cultivation families. But don't expect too much improvement.

For example, if prepared in advance, it can allow those who originally couldn't point stars to successfully point stars and obtain cultivation qualifications.

It can allow those who originally had Grade C- talent to be promoted to Grade C or Grade C+, and it can also promote the original Grade B+ to Grade A-, but it is limited to this.

It is just icing on the cake."

Xu Jin was overjoyed.

Previously, the thing he worried about most was

If Jiang Er could cultivate—as long as she could cultivate, no matter how poor her talent was—Xu Jin, with his ability to nourish elixirs, could pile her up to the ninth layer of Refine Star.

I never expected Qi Shanye to have such a method here.

"Teacher, what do I need to prepare? I will go prepare it immediately," Xu Jin said happily.

"What do you need to prepare?"

Qi Shanye smiled. "One youth under eighteen who hasn't pointed stars yet, and one expert at the fifth tier or above. Where are you going to find those?"

Xu Jin realized in an instant, hurriedly stood up to thank him, "Thank you for your trouble, Teacher."

"You are my disciple; this is only natural."

Afterwards, Xu Jin roughly understood the method.

It was essentially using an expert's star power to nourish the body in advance and to nourish the Middle Shang Xinggong with star power ahead of time.

Generally speaking, only experts at the mid-to-late stage of the fifth-tier Gather Battle can possess this ability.

Because only experts at this level can control their own star power to be as fine as a strand of hair, and like spring rain moistening things, can they manage to nourish the Middle Shang Xinggong without harming the person being nourished.

Those at the early stage of the fifth tier cannot do it.

Moreover, it is quite time-consuming.

Usually, it takes at least half a month, or up to two or three months, to successfully nourish it.

Typically, one would not enjoy such treatment unless they were immediate family.

As for inside the Shang Xinggong, many people know of this method, but basically no one uses it on disciples; they only use it on their own kin.

Before pointing stars, who knows how one's talent will be?

As for disciples with supreme talent, one can just recruit them slowly.

If there aren't any this year, there will be next year; if not next year, they might appear the year after.

This kind of thankless task is only used on immediate family.

Qi Shanye treating Xu Jin, this disciple, as immediate family, and then treating Xu Jin's younger sister as family as well, counts as this.

Of course, there is also the reason of having nothing better to do.

"Since you agree, then every night after your sister falls asleep, I will sneak into her room, knock her out, and then use star power to nourish her Middle Shang Xinggong."

"Thank you for your trouble, Teacher."

Xu Jin did not dare to say thank you.

How could such a thing be expressed by the two words "thank you"?

Naturally, he would have to find ways to repay him in the future; this could also be considered a great opportunity for his sister.

As for the matter regarding his father, Xu Jin did not dare to bring it up.

Previously, it was discovered on Chiba Island that Zhao Bo, the richest man in Jin Shan County, had joined the Baidou Divine Sect; it could be said it was for longevity, and also to extend his life.

Xu Jin had an idea at that time.

If his abilities allowed it in the future, he would definitely find a way to extend his father Xu Dajiang's life; even if not to one hundred and twenty, at least he should let his father live to ninety without illness or disaster, right?

After finishing his cultivation on the night of July 22, Xu Jin entered the Star-Plucking Tower again. After finishing his daily sparring for Zuiyue Xianzi as usual, he challenged the second-place "Not Much Better" once more.

Seven battles!

Xu Jin won five and lost two!

His win rate increased significantly, and his actual combat ability also improved greatly.

Using "Not Much Better" as a whetstone is still quite good.

Xu Jin's ranking in the Practice Arena Secret Realm improved to second place.

Looking at the first-place "Shadow in the Mid-Month," Xu Jin was extremely curious about the strength of Shadow in the Mid-Month, but he still did not break his rule; Xu Jin prepared to challenge the first-place "Shadow in the Mid-Month" of the Practice Arena Secret Realm tomorrow.

Self-restraint is the kind of thing where, once you actively break the rule and have a first time, there will be a second, and then there will be countless times.

By then, it won't just be the number of challenges in the Practice Arena Secret Realm; other related abilities, such as invisibility, or using the power of the soul to amplify the power of star arts, will all be broken one by one.

It could potentially bring a catastrophic disaster to Xu Jin.

However, Xu Jin also had a plan.

After finishing the Spirit-Stabilizing Golden Pill, he would increase the number of challenges for the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm from ten to twelve.

Even if it were truly discovered by someone with ulterior motives, it would be justifiable.

On the night of July 23, when Xu Jin took the second First-Essence Mortal-Shedding Pill, he realized it had no effect.

The ordinary First-Essence Mortal-Shedding Pill no longer worked, so Xu Jin decisively took a First-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill.

Half an hour later, a layer of grayish-white impurities seeped out from Xu Jin's entire body, and there wasn't much of a foul smell anymore.

After taking a bath, Xu Jin felt crystal clear all over.

At a glance, not only were his eyes like bright stars, but even his skin was faintly glowing; his whole person was incomparably transparent, and even his hair had a shining luster.

To be honest, even Xu Jin himself liked this image a bit.

This cultivation really does have the effect of being reborn. "Hmm?"

Qi Shanye, who lived in the same courtyard, noticed something wrong with just one look. He walked quickly to within five meters of Xu Jin, his eyes revealing astonishment. "No way, so fast? It's only been a few days, and you've already achieved the Body of No Filth?"

"Teacher, I don't know much about the Body of No Filth, but I just completed my sixth marrow-cleansing," Xu Jin said.

As for the reason, Xu Jin could only let Old Qi fill in the blanks himself.

There was no help for it; the elixirs Xu Jin took were too strong.

Others who achieve the Body of No Filth take supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills.

But theoretically, Xu Jin had been using supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills from the very beginning.

The medicinal power of an ordinary First-Essence Mortal-Shedding Pill is definitely about the same as that of a supreme-grade one.

Then how strong is the medicinal power of a First-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill?

To date, Xu Jin had only taken one First-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill.

He still had eleven supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills in his hand.

Among these eleven supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills, three had already been nourished in the Star Lamp for four days, achieving Second-Essence, and the others were almost there too.

Xu Jin had already figured out the pattern of the elixir's essence.

First-Essence requires one day of nourishment in the Star Lamp, and to reach Second-Essence, it needs to be nourished in the Star Lamp for another three days.

Xu Jin did not intend to take these three pills immediately; he wanted to try and see if he could nourish these pills to Third-Essence.

If he could, he wanted to see how much time it would take.

If he could nourish them to Third-Essence, then how many times could Xu Jin ultimately cleanse his marrow?

Seven times, or eight?

For this reason, Xu Jin had already taken out the first-tier star weapon that had been nourished in the Star Lamp for four days.

The three Star Lamps had all been used to nourish supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills since the day before yesterday.

By tomorrow, the other five supreme-grade Mortal-Shedding Pills would all be able to reach the Second-Essence stage.

On the night of July 23, when Xu Jin entered the Star-Plucking Tower's Practice Arena Secret Realm, "Not Much Better," who had been beaten back to third place by Xu Jin, could no longer wait.

Yesterday, he won two and lost five, which left "Not Much Better" feeling stifled for an entire day, thinking about tactics for an entire day.

A guy who had been suffering defeat after defeat at his hands four or five days ago had suddenly managed a major comeback four or five days later, turning from consecutive defeats into defeating him five times in a row.

This was a huge blow to the rather proud "Not Much Better."

It would be one thing if he couldn't beat "Shadow in the Mid-Month," as that person had a background.

But to be unable to beat "Sun Hei Wu Kong," a guy with no background who always used the most ordinary star arts and had no unique inherited star patterns, made "Not Much Better" feel extremely stifled.

So he had been waiting for "Sun Hei Wu Kong" to come online and challenge him.

Xu Jin was not in a hurry to accept the challenge, but instead sparred with Zuiyue Xianzi for three rounds as usual.

Taking people's money and doing things for them—this bit of professional ethics must be maintained.

【How did you defeat that "Not Much Better"? I've challenged him five times in the past two days and lost all five. Zuiyue Xianzi】

Xu Jin looked at this starlight message, lost in thought. Was this lady tortured miserably by "Not Much Better"?

Afterwards, Xu Jin replied to Zuiyue Xianzi with an extremely long starlight message.

Mainly because it was free, and Xu Jin didn't want to spend money to send a second one.

It was basically some tactics he had used in the past few days that could defeat "Not Much Better." As for whether Zuiyue Xianzi could use them and defeat "Not Much Better," that was hard to say.

Subsequently, Xu Jin responded to the challenge from the third-place "Not Much Better" of the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

This finally brought the comeback battle that "Not Much Better," who had waited for a day, was looking forward to.

But reality was extremely cruel.

Xu Jin's cultivation had improved by another ten percent today.

He had also achieved the Body of No Filth.

From this moment on, Xu Jin was on par with "Not Much Better" in terms of cultivation.

In fact, since yesterday, one of Xu Jin's Star Arrows could easily blast through "Not Much Better's" Star Shield and Starlight Cover.

Today, after the sixth marrow-cleansing, the situation had shifted.

Previously, Xu Jin needed three Star Arrows to break through "Not Much Better's" two Star Shields.

Now, "Not Much Better" needed three Star Arrows to break through Xu Jin's two Star Shields.

However, his Hook-Suspension Star Pattern was still very powerful.

Xu Jin was exceptionally careful.

The two defeats yesterday were because Xu Jin was careless, allowing "Not Much Better" to condense three clusters of starlight, explode them in an instant, and then repeatedly inflict heavy damage on Xu Jin.

But today, it was completely different.

Six battles.

Xu Jin won six battles in a row.

"Not Much Better" lost six battles in a row.

"Not Much Better" was very worked up over such a record.

He continued to challenge Xu Jin, but was refused by Xu Jin.

"Why refuse? Fight one more time? I don't believe I can't win against you even once?" "Not Much Better" sent a starlight message to Xu Jin.

"Not Much Better" himself didn't even realize that his requirements for challenging Xu Jin had dropped from consecutive wins to a big win, and then further down to just wanting to win one match.

"Fight again tomorrow; I need to save my attempts to challenge 'Shadow in the Mid-Month,'" Xu Jin sent a starlight message with extreme heartache; today's free attempts had already been used up.

"Not Much Better" looked at the starlight message returned by Sun Hei Wu Kong and felt a sense of being humiliated.

He felt that this starlight message from Sun Hei Wu Kong seemed to be saying that you are no longer a match for me, Sun Hei Wu Kong.

"Tomorrow, I'll be waiting for you; don't be a no-show!" "Not Much Better" sent a starlight message to Xu Jin, then left the Star-Plucking Tower directly to go find his master.

If he couldn't find the opportunity to win himself, then he had to find his master for help.

This was the true use of a master.

【Sun Hei Wu Kong, the Lord of Stars, Shadow in the Mid-Month, is not in the Star-Plucking Tower and cannot accept the challenge. Please choose another time to challenge again.】

Xu Jin chose to challenge the first-place Shadow in the Mid-Month of the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, but this message appeared before his eyes, which made Xu Jin somewhat disappointed.

And also somewhat anxious.

The previous first-place, Treading Star River, most likely broke through to Forge Star and left the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Don't let too much time drag on, and have this second-place Shadow in the Mid-Month also leave the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

Then wouldn't Xu Jin have no opponents left?

On July 24, Xu Jin did not go to the Academy but cultivated at home.

Mainly because his progress was too astonishing, and Xu Jin didn't want to be seen as a monster by the Academy Head.

In seven and a half days, Xu Jin broke through from the sixth layer of Meal of Mist to the peak of the seventh layer, completed six marrow-cleansings, and achieved the Body of No Filth.

This time was no longer astonishing; it was frightening.

According to Old Qi, in the records of the Lingji Shang Xinggong, the fastest speed for marrow-cleansing was created by a genius one hundred and twenty years ago, who completed three marrow-cleansings in seven days.

But the problem is, Xu Jin completed six in seven and a half days.

This speed is very frightening.

However, Old Qi had already been frightened into getting used to Xu Jin's speed.

But Old Qi suggested that Xu Jin wait two more days before going to the Academy.

It's not that he didn't trust Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

On the afternoon of July 24, Old Qi personally performed a star power infusion for Xu Jin.

Xu Jin could feel that Old Qi's star power was much stronger than the Academy Head Dong Zhao's, but as for the effect of the star power infusion, it was not as good as when Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao joined forces.

In fact, before doing it, Xu Jin already knew that the effect would be very weak.

But Old Qi said that at this point, one cannot give up even the slightest bit of improvement.

Because it might help Xu Jin achieve the seventh marrow-cleansing.

If he could achieve the seventh marrow-cleansing, then with sufficient star power, Xu Jin would inevitably forge a supreme-grade Star Core, and even have a certain probability of forging a peerless-grade Star Core.

A peerless-grade Star Core, even in the Lingji Shang Xinggong, only appears once every one or two hundred years.

The effect was exactly as Qi Shanye and Xu Jin had anticipated beforehand; the effect of Old Qi personally performing the star power infusion for Xu Jin this time was far worse than the previous two times.

It was only twenty percent of the effect of the star power infusion when Ning Yuchan and Dong Zhao joined forces.

The improvement in the power of the soul was also very small.

The fifth-layer halo of the Star of the Soul only increased by a trace, not even one-tenth.

But as Old Qi said, even a mosquito's meat is meat.

No matter how small the improvement, it is still an improvement.

However, from then on, Xu Jin no longer needed to do star power infusions.

Of course, if the three great experts Old Qi, Dong Zhao, and Cao Chun joined forces to perform a star power infusion on Xu Jin simultaneously, perhaps there would be a tiny bit of improvement.

But this was obviously impossible.

That night, Xu Jin took the second and third First-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pills.

At night in the Star-Plucking Tower, Xu Jin fought "Not Much Better" for six more rounds.

In the first round, "Not Much Better" used a brand-new tactic and almost won, but Xu Jin's Clear Perception Star Pattern sensed it in advance, and in the end, Xu Jin won narrowly.

In the following five rounds, "Not Much Better" continued his losing streak.

And he lost faster and faster.

Like yesterday, even if "Not Much Better" lost, he could still fight Xu Jin for about a quarter of an hour.

In the first three rounds today, "Not Much Better" could still fight Xu Jin for five or six minutes.

In the last two challenges, Xu Jin ended the battle within three minutes.

Xu Jin's last challenge attempt tonight was still reserved for the first-place "Shadow in the Mid-Month" of the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

But unfortunately, Shadow in the Mid-Month was still not there and did not accept the challenge.

This made Xu Jin secretly cry out that it was bad.

If he challenged Shadow in the Mid-Month again tomorrow and Shadow in the Mid-Month was still not there, then according to the rules of the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm, Shadow in the Mid-Month would be considered as refusing the challenge, and Xu Jin could automatically obtain first place in the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

But the problem is, that kind of first place in the Practice Arena Secret Realm is not what Xu Jin wants.

Xu Jin wanted to have a match with Shadow in the Mid-Month more than anything; he wanted to try and see just how strong this first-place winner, who once made "Not Much Better" lose six times in a row, really was.

Between him and Shadow in the Mid-Month, who was stronger?

Because now, Xu Jin had also managed to make "Not Much Better" lose six times in a row!

If "Not Much Better" is used as a reference, theoretically, Xu Jin and Shadow in the Mid-Month are about the same in strength.

But theory is theory.

Who is stronger and who is weaker can only be known after a match.

On the morning of July 25, Xu Jin finished taking the last First-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill, and then took another Second-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill.

Almost the moment the Second-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pill entered his mouth, the tyrannical medicinal power exploded inside Xu Jin's body, even bringing Xu Jin pain.

Driven by Xu Jin's star power, the medicinal power swept through Xu Jin's entire body, sweeping through every corner inside and outside Xu Jin's body, even every pore.

Half an hour later, a layer of milky-white grease appeared on the surface of Xu Jin's body.

The seventh marrow-cleansing was completed.

After a test, the Star Arrow blasted twenty feet, which is nearly seven meters, before slowly dissipating.

Qi Shanye flashed and appeared beside Xu Jin, pinched a bit of the milky-white filth refined from Xu Jin's body, and sighed repeatedly.

"Filth like jade grease! It really is filth like jade grease!"

"I thought I wouldn't see the filth like jade grease that appears in the seventh marrow-cleansing in the Shang Xinggong records in my lifetime. I didn't expect to see it on you, kid.

You kid, you're really a freak!"

While sighing, Qi Shanye's expression suddenly became incomparably serious. "Xu Jin, from this moment on, no matter who asks, your number of marrow-cleansings must be six, and it can only be six, understand?

Even when seeing Dong Zhao, you must slightly circulate the Return-to-Origin Star Pattern; you must hide it.

From today on, don't let a third person know about this matter."

As Xu Jin nodded, Qi Shanye added, "You have to know, achieving the Body of No Filth with six marrow-cleansings is actually not difficult; it's the standard configuration for top geniuses in various Academies and Star Palaces. Even in many county-level Academies, one or two geniuses who achieve the Body of No Filth with six marrow-cleansings appear every two or three years.

As long as the teachers are willing to put in great effort and spend great resources, they can eventually be cultivated.

However, marrow-cleansing seven times or more is something that can be met but not sought!

Every person who has cleansed their marrow seven times is the core of the core in every Academy and every Shang Xinggong!

Some hostile ones with blood feuds, such as our Lingji Shang Xinggong and the Tianyang Shang Xinggong, if they discover it, sometimes they will even try every possible way to kill the other side's peerless genius.

Of course, it's usually very difficult to discover.

Because everyone keeps their mouths shut!

Did you remember?" Qi Shanye instructed.

"Teacher, I remembered!"

When it comes to his own life, Xu Jin remembers it more firmly than anyone else.

On July 25, he continued with two Second-Essence Supreme-Grade Mortal-Shedding Pills; they were effective, but no signs of marrow-cleansing appeared.

In the Star-Plucking Tower's Practice Arena Secret Realm, after Xu Jin finished sparring, he defeated "Not Much Better" five more times, glanced at the leaderboard, took a deep breath, and chose to challenge the first-place winner of the first-tier Practice Arena Secret Realm!

Shadow in the Mid-Month!
