"Jiang'er's middle star palace, I have been nurturing it for more than half a month, but it hasn't been successful yet. You can ask your Teacher Ning for help, and after nurturing it for another half a month, it will be of great benefit to Jiang'er's star-pointing. Jiang'er is very spiritual, and I like her very much. You brat must cultivate her well, otherwise, I won't spare you."

This was Qi Qi Shanye's original words.

To be honest, if it weren't for Old Qi's reminder, Xu Jin would have almost forgotten this matter today because he was anxious about Old Qi's safety.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin felt that there was no time to lose.

The autumn star-pointing season in Chen Guo was about to begin, and Jiang'er would be fifteen years old after August.

As long as there were conditions, the earlier the cultivation, the better.

After lunch, Xu Jin carried a gift that Jiang'er had prepared, mainly various snacks, all prepared by Jiang'er, and there were many that Xu Jin had never seen before.

Melon seeds, candies, fried small fish, fried beans, various nuts, and a basket of fresh fruits.

These things, if it were before, were rare items in the Xu family, and they would only buy one or two during the New Year.

Now, they were carrying them in large and small bags to give to others.

All the way to the Dao Academy, Xu Jin found that the door of Ning Ning Yuchan's courtyard was closed tightly. Just as he wanted to send a starlight transmission to ask, anyway, there was one free time.

Ning Ning Yuchan suddenly appeared behind Xu Jin.

"You don't cultivate well at home and prepare for Star-Forging, what are you doing here with these large and small bags?"

While speaking, Ning Ning Yuchan still opened the door and let Xu Jin in.

The courtyard was as plain as ever, and a few bunches of wild flowers were blooming particularly beautifully.

After putting down the gifts, Xu Jin said his purpose generously.

Hearing this, Ning Ning Yuchan raised her beautiful brows. "I didn't see it, you, this brother, are quite caring for Jiang'er."

Ning Ning Yuchan's words brought Xu Jin into his memories.

He remembered when he first arrived in this world, although he said it was 'since you're here, be at peace'.

But it wasn't as easy as it was said.

In his previous life, there were all kinds of modernized equipment, convenient to the extreme. Just say lighting a fire, a lighter or a switch twist would do.

The family was poor and couldn't afford a fire-starter, so they could only use a fire-striker. Xu Jin was clumsy, and many things were handled by Jiang'er.

Especially combing hair.

A head of long hair once became Xu Jin's nightmare!

Later, it was Jiang'er who made combing hair a kind of enjoyment.

"I only have this one sister!" Xu Jin smiled. "Please help me, Teacher."

"Hmm, small matter! Then do you want your sister to be nurtured in her sleep, or do you want her to be nurtured in a conscious state?" Ning Ning Yuchan asked.

"Teacher, is there any difference?"

"Of course there is."

"In sleep, it's just passive nurturing, but if you nurture your sister in a conscious state, letting her guard her middle star palace, the effect will be better. This is also one of the reasons why geniuses in big families are endless." Ning Ning Yuchan said.

"If there are family elders who nurture them wholeheartedly, ordinary aptitude can become superior, and superior can become top-tier geniuses." Ning Ning Yuchan said.

"Then let's nurture her in a conscious state."

"Good, I will go over tonight."

A few breaths later, Xu Jin left.

As soon as Xu Jin left, Ning Ning Yuchan, who had been sitting straight, happily opened the gifts Xu Jin brought, tasting them one by one, her pink lips smacking non-stop, full of happiness.

"This guy is quite good at buying snacks. Why is everything so delicious?"

In the cultivation quiet room at home, Xu Jin looked at the nine top-grade Star-Forging Pills and twelve ordinary Star-Forging Pills in front of him, and then looked at the three star lamps on the Arena Platform, calculating.

Among them, three Star-Forging Pills were put into the star lamps to be nurtured as soon as they were obtained yesterday.

Now, they had already been nurtured once.

According to what the Principal said, the second-tier star region for Star-Forging would be opened in two and a half days.

Then Xu Jin only had two and a half days to nurture these elixirs.

There were eighteen elixirs that needed to be nurtured, but currently, the three star lamps could only nurture nine at a time.

Very quickly, Xu Jin set a plan to maximize the nurturing effect.

Today, he would nurture nine ordinary Star-Forging Pills first. By noon tomorrow, they could all be nurtured once. Then he would put nine top-grade Star-Forging Pills in. After they were all nurtured once, he could still nurture them for half a day.

In this way, the star lamps could be utilized to the extreme.

At that time, the medicinal power of the twelve once-nurtured ordinary Star-Forging Pills would be equivalent to twelve top-grade Star-Forging Pills, and the medicinal power of the nine top-grade Star-Forging Pills would at least double.

Xu Jin felt that with this lineup, his middle and lower star palaces would be stable in forging top-grade star cores.

After making these preparations, Xu Jin took out the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill that had been nurtured in the star lamp for more than fourteen days.

The round Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill originally had light flowing on its surface. At this time, under three-time nurturing, this Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill was like wearing three distinct layers of star clouds, with starlight lingering, and at a glance, it was not an ordinary item.

"One-time nurturing is twice the original medicinal power, two-time nurturing is three times the original medicinal power, then what is the medicinal power of three-time nurturing, four times the original medicinal power?"

While pondering, Xu Jin swallowed this three-time nurtured Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill into his abdomen.

The moment he swallowed it, a cool feeling rushed straight to his forehead.

The next moment, the soul star in Xu Jin's upper star palace began to rotate at an accelerated speed, absorbing the medicinal power of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill. The core Soul-Clarifying Star Pattern of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill even shone brightly because of the massive influx of soul power.

The super bright kind.

At the same time, Xu Jin sank his mind into the soul star, fully activating the soul star to absorb this soul power to avoid wasting even a trace.

Xu Jin's soul star, after being refined by the Principal and Ning Ning Yuchan with star power last time, and then refined by Old Qi once later, the three-ring star halo previously condensed by the soul star had reached a perfect state, and the fourth-ring star halo had just revealed a trace of prototype.

That was just reaching the fourth layer of Star-Refining.

At this time, the medicinal power of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill entered his body, and the fourth-ring star halo on Xu Jin's soul star began to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In just a few breaths, the fourth-ring star halo took shape, and then continued to solidify and grow.

This made Xu Jin a bit surprised. The medicinal power of the three-time nurtured Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill was a bit stronger than Xu Jin imagined.

Previously, whether it was Ning Ning Yuchan or Old Qi, they had told Xu Jin about the medicinal power of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill, which could only slightly improve soul power.

Then how much was this range?

Previously, Old Qi had given Xu Jin an approximate ratio.

Old Qi said that not counting the medicinal power decay brought by continuous consumption of elixirs, then continuously taking three Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pills would allow Xu Jin's soul star to have one more star ring, which was to increase the cultivation level by one layer.

In other words, one Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill could allow one layer of Xu Jin's soul star's star halo to grow by one-third.

"Then, the soul star should be able to break through to the fifth layer of Star-Refining, right?"

In fact, only five minutes after Xu Jin took the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill, the fourth-layer star halo of his soul star had reached perfection, reaching the peak of the fourth layer of Star-Refining, and then the prototype of the fifth-layer star halo appeared.

The soul star broke through to the fifth layer of Star-Refining.

And the medicinal power of the three-time nurtured Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill had not decayed at all.

"Could the soul star break through to the early or even middle stage of the fifth layer of Star-Refining?"

But the final result made Xu Jin extremely shocked.

The medicinal power of the three-time nurtured elixir was not four times, but six times.

One-time and two-time nurturing were based on the original medicinal power, but the medicinal power of three-time nurturing was doubled on the basis of two-time nurturing.

The medicinal power at two-time nurturing was three times, and doubling it was six times.

A quarter of an hour later, when the last trace of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill's medicinal power was absorbed by Xu Jin, the fifth-layer star halo of Xu Jin's soul star had reached its peak, and at the same time, the prototype of the sixth-layer star halo appeared.

Soul star, sixth layer of Star-Refining.

One three-time nurtured Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill actually allowed Xu Jin's soul star to soar by two layers.

This made Xu Jin instantly think of the Soul-Refining Golden Pill.

The even scarcer Soul-Refining Golden Pill, whose effect of strengthening soul power was said to be three times that of the Soul-Stabilizing Golden Pill.

Then after Xu Jin nurtured the Soul-Refining Golden Pill three times, how much improvement would Xu Jin's soul star have? At that time, the soul star's cultivation level breaking through to the ninth layer of Star-Refining was probably possible.

Thinking of this, Xu Jin felt a pity.

It was a pity that the second-tier star region of the Chen Guo Dao Academy would open in two and a half days, not giving him too much time.

If it opened in half a month, Xu Jin would nurture all nine top-grade Star-Forging Pills three times, and the medicinal power would be six times.

Let alone forging stars in the middle and lower star palaces at the same time, it was possible to forge supreme-grade star cores in both the middle and lower star palaces at the same time.

Unfortunately, there were only two and a half days.

After that, Xu Jin didn't waste any time.

The next moment, he took out a three-time nurtured top-grade Transformation Pill and swallowed it into his mouth. As the medicinal power melted, the massive soul power instantly activated, and together with the medicinal power of the top-grade Transformation Pill, it surged back and forth in his body.

At the same time, according to what was recorded in the secret method, soul power had to take the medicinal power to some corners that medicinal power usually couldn't reach, including the depths of the five internal organs and the depths of the spine.

Previously, during body-refining, star power just kept echoing in the body.

Now, with the addition of soul power, it was a refined operation.

The spine, which had long had no feeling, was even more numb and itchy.

Half an hour later, a layer of pale white dirt oozed out of Xu Jin's body.

Xu Jin frowned.

It hadn't been achieved yet.

According to the Soul-Refining Body-Returning Fetal Technique, one of the signs of the ninth marrow-cleansing is called blood dirt!

This blood dirt is the last layer of debris remaining in the body. After clearing the blood dirt, one can complete the ninth marrow-cleansing and forge a flawless innate star body.

As for the characteristics of the flawless innate star body, the secret method did not record it.

It only said four words: those who reach it know it themselves.

Looking inside, Xu Jin found that his soul star, which had reached the sixth layer of Star-Refining, had less than 20% of its power remaining at this time.

For the first time, the consumption of soul power was so great.

After taking a once-nurtured top-grade Refreshing Pill, Xu Jin fell into a deep sleep while his soul power was slightly restored.

The fastest way to restore soul power was still sleep.

In the evening, Xu Jin was awakened by the Bright-Tracing Star Pattern.

In his sleep, Xu Jin felt a powerful aura approaching him, and he turned over and sat up abruptly.

He felt the Bright-Tracing Star Pattern in the lower star palace flickering slightly.

"Is this the improvement when the soul star is raised to the sixth layer of Star-Refining?"

The effect of the Bright-Tracing Star Pattern was obviously improved.

It wasn't this alert before.

According to Old Qi, only after Star-Forging in the lower star palace could the power of the Bright-Tracing Star Pattern be exerted.

"Brother, Teacher Ning is here, where are you?" Sister Jiang'er's voice rang out.

It turned out that the powerful aura that the Bright-Tracing Star Pattern had just sensed was Ning Ning Yuchan's aura.

Xu Jin hurriedly got out of bed, opened the door, and saw his sister Jiang'er stepping into the backyard with Ning Ning Yuchan, just ten meters away from Xu Jin's quiet room.

If it was the two breaths of time when he was awakened, then the warning range of Xu Jin's Bright-Tracing Star Pattern had already expanded to twenty meters?

Xu Jin had already told his sister that Ning Ning Yuchan was coming.

Jiang'er had long ordered people to prepare dinner.

At the dinner table, his father Xu Dajiang ate a few mouthfuls of rice quickly and left.

He had long seen that if he stayed, he was afraid it would be uncomfortable.

Xu Jin had to admire his father Xu Dajiang, who had little education and didn't know many characters, but his emotional intelligence was truly high!

Only Xu Jin, Jiang'er, and Ning Ning Yuchan were left. This meal was eaten with laughter.

Especially Jiang'er and Ning Ning Yuchan could talk together.

Being closer now, Xu Jin also found that Ning Ning Yuchan was not as cold as she was in the Dao Academy.

When chatting with Jiang'er, she would smile occasionally, which was as pleasing to the eye as a blooming rose.

After dinner, Ning Ning Yuchan took Jiang'er straight to nurture Jiang'er's middle star palace.

Xu Jin, however, entered the Star-Plucking Tower with the Star-Plucking Token.

Just as he entered the Star-Plucking Tower, a starlight transmission was sent!

Xu Jin was happy and clicked it open with the fastest speed, but then his expression became dejected.

It wasn't a starlight transmission sent by Old Qi!

(End of chapter) ===== CHAPTER 124 =====

According to the records in the Divine Soul Body-Refining Fetal-Return Technique, one of the signs of the ninth marrow-cleansing is called blood-scum!

This blood-scum is the final layer of impurities remaining in the body; after clearing out the blood-scum, one can complete the ninth marrow-cleansing and forge a Flawless Innate Star Body.

As for the characteristics of a Flawless Innate Star Body, the secret technique did not record them.

It only said four words: Those who reach it will know for themselves.

Looking inward, Xu Jin discovered that his Star of the Divine Soul, which had reached the sixth layer of Star-Refining, had less than twenty percent of its power remaining at this moment.

For the first time, his divine soul power had been consumed so heavily.

After swallowing a top-grade Mind-Refreshing Pill that had been nourished once, Xu Jin fell into a deep sleep.

The fastest way to recover divine soul power is still sleep.

In the evening, Xu Jin was awakened by the Bright-Tracing Star-Pattern.

In his sleep, Xu Jin felt a powerful aura approaching him and abruptly flipped over to sit up.

He felt the Bright-Tracing Star-Pattern in his lower Star Palace flickering slightly.

"Is this the improvement from when the Star of the Divine Soul was raised to the sixth layer of Star-Refining?"

The effect of the Fate-Tracing Star-Pattern had clearly improved.

It hadn't been this alert before.

According to Old Qi, only after the lower Star Palace forged a star could the power of the Fate-Tracing Star-Pattern be partially unleashed.

"Brother, Teacher Ning is here; where are you?" his sister Jiang Er's voice rang out.

It turned out that the powerful aura the Fate-Tracing Star-Pattern had just sensed was Ning Ning Yuchan's aura.

Xu Jin hurriedly got out of bed and opened the door, seeing his sister Jiang Er leading Ning Ning Yuchan into the backyard, just about ten meters away from Xu Jin's quiet room.

If it was those two breaths of time when he was awakened, then had the warning range of Xu Jin's Fate-Tracing Star-Pattern already expanded to twenty meters?

Xu Jin had already told his sister about Ning Ning Yuchan coming.

Jiang Er had long ago ordered people to prepare dinner.

At the dinner table, his father, Xu Dajiang, quickly ate a few mouthfuls of rice and then left.

He had long seen that if he stayed, he would likely feel uncomfortable.

Xu Jin had to admire his father, Xu Dajiang; his cultural level wasn't high, and he didn't know many characters, but his emotional intelligence was truly high!

With only Xu Jin, Jiang Er, and Ning Ning Yuchan left, the meal was filled with laughter.

Especially Jiang Er and Ning Ning Yuchan, who were able to chat quite well.

Now that they were closer, Xu Jin also discovered that Ning Ning Yuchan wasn't as cold and aloof as she was in the Academy.

When chatting with Jiang Er, she would occasionally smile, looking like a blooming rose, making one feel incredibly pleased.

After dinner, Ning Ning Yuchan took Jiang Er directly to nourish her middle Shang Xinggong.

Xu Jin, however, held the Star-Picking Token and entered the Star-Picking Tower alone.

Just as he entered the Star-Picking Tower, a starlight message arrived!

Xu Jin was overjoyed and tapped it open as fast as he could, but then his expression turned gloomy.

It wasn't a starlight message from Old Qi!
