Chapter 186: Seeing Golden Star Again

~17 min read 3,367 words

"Xu Qingjia, what do you think?"

Emperor Gan'an looked at Xu Jin with a smile and asked.

At this moment, thousands of thoughts flashed through Xu Jin's mind.

Xu Jin is not stupid; this marriage bestowal is not just about sleeping with a princess, the many influences involved behind it are what is truly important.

If it were just sleeping with a princess, Xu Jin wouldn't mind checking in.

But how long has Xu Jin been in Dachen Wan Yi? The complex relationship between imperial power and the Da Chen National Dao Academy, Xu Jin only knows a little bit, and doesn't know whether to refuse or accept.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in Xu Jin's mind.

Marriage bestowal!

But Emperor Gan'an is asking for his opinion here.

That shows that the focus of this matter might not be the marriage bestowal.

But testing.

Emperor Gan'an is using this matter to test his attitude or even his stance.

Otherwise, opening his mouth to bestow marriage directly would have a higher possibility of success.

After all, the Royal Family wants face.

"You decide this matter yourself, agreeing is fine, refusing is also fine, if you want to marry a princess, after agreeing, it is also possible." Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's voice suddenly entered Xu Jin's ears.

This made Xu Jin a bit confused.

The Grand Master didn't give a clear instruction, what does this mean?

Is it a test for him?

Forget it, it's too complex!

Xu Jin doesn't want to play with things that are too complex now.

When there are conditions, break ten thousand methods with one force, let you calculate in a thousand ways, I will break it with one punch.

Now, it's better to be simple, bury his head in cultivation and develop well.

"The minister thanks His Majesty for his kindness, but the minister has just reached Refine Star, and it is the time when the cultivation base is advancing by leaps and bounds, and it is also the time for bitter cultivation, so I am not considering marriage for the time being.

And the minister has already sworn an oath, no Gather Battle, no marriage!"

In order to cut the Gordian knot, Xu Jin directly came up with a ruthless one for himself.

Xu Jin's idea is also very simple; if he breaks through to the Gather Battle Realm, as teacher Qi Shanye said, at worst, he has the ability to flee to the ends of the earth.

And with Xu Jin's actual combat power, he should be stronger.

By then, the world will be different.

Emperor Gan'an was also slightly surprised; he didn't expect Xu Jin to directly pull out an oath; this refusal was a bit thorough.

The Fourth Prince, Prince Xin, said gloomily on the side, "This oath is a bit too much, I have seen many geniuses who cannot break through to the Gather Battle Realm! If something goes wrong, wouldn't you, Xu Jin, have to remain unmarried for life?"

"That doesn't need to bother Prince Xin." Xu Jin directly retorted.

Since the Grand Master is by his side, and Prince Xin reached out to him before, then there is no need to be polite.

People have already slapped your face, what are you apologizing for!

Just retort.

Sure enough, Prince Xin's face became a bit ugly.

"Xu Qingjia has good courage, indeed a hero among the young!" Emperor Gan'an rounded off the scene with one sentence.

"Then I will wait for Xu Qingjia to reach the Fifth Tier Gather Battle Realm, and then talk to Xu Qingjia about this matter."

After speaking, Emperor Gan'an directly skipped this topic, asked Xu Jin some other questions indifferently, and let Xu Jin leave.

Just after Xu Jin left, Emperor Gan'an looked at Manager Chu, who flicked his fingers lightly, and a point of starlight opened, turning into a star curtain to cover the entire hall.

Almost at the same time, the Fourth Prince, Prince Xin, became gloomy, "Father, another thorn. Although you didn't directly bestow marriage, just proposed it, but he dared to refuse directly, this courage is too big.

The disciples cultivated by the National Dao Academy over the years are becoming more and more daring."

"Looking at it, this Xu Jin cannot be used by us, it seems he is loyal to Cheng Yuexiao." Prince Jing said.

Emperor Gan'an looked coldly at his two sons, "You two, if you had half his ability, you wouldn't be like this!"

"Father, a Xu Jin, if I explode, I can pinch ten to death with one hand!" Prince Xin was dissatisfied.

"That's because you are Condense Star! When he is Condense Star, do you still have this confidence?"

Prince Xin was speechless.

"Alright, you two retreat too, cultivate diligently, you brothers and sisters, if one of you can break through to the Sixth Tier in the future, it can also make me worry less." Emperor Gan'an glared at the two.

Subsequently, the two retreated.

Emperor Gan'an asked directly, "Companion, how is your sensing? Does this child have the possibility of connecting to Golden Star? In my sensing just now, this child's divine soul is only at the level of just forging stars, it is possible to get Silver Star, but it is very difficult to get Golden Star!"

"Your Majesty, if the genius who connected to two Golden Stars before was a child of our Da Chen, then the possibility of this Xu Jin is the greatest.

This child killed to the 127th level of the Killing God Battlefield yesterday, and the performance was astonishing.

But if the 127th level is his limit, then the combat power of killing to the 127th level alone cannot win a Golden Star.

If he can win a Golden Star with this cultivation base, he must be able to kill to about the 150th level of the Killing God Battlefield.

In terms of divine soul, I am not as good as Your Majesty; if Your Majesty says it is impossible to win a Golden Star, then it will not be Xu Jin." Manager Chu bowed and said.

Emperor Gan'an frowned, but sighed, "So, the genius who connected to those two Golden Stars is not a child of our Da Chen? If so, it is even harder to get into hand."

Manager Chu, who was gloomy and had fair skin that was scary, bowed slightly, "Your Majesty, the old slave is investigating with all his strength; if found, I will definitely do my best to invite this genius to help Your Majesty."

"Golden Star!

If there is a Golden Star, I have the possibility of breaking through to the Seventh Tier!

Two Golden Stars, definitely able to break through to the Seventh Tier, and then cultivate like a broken bamboo.

By then, I will definitely be able to wash away the shame!

But this winning of Golden Star, how difficult it is!"

Facing Emperor Gan'an's exclamation, Manager Chu didn't dare to answer, just bowed slightly.

After a long time, Emperor Gan'an asked again, "How is the collection of those treasures recently?"

"Back to Your Majesty, to meet the requirements, I am afraid it will take a lot of time to collect."

"Urge them, tell them, if it's slower, don't blame me for turning my face and being ruthless!"

"The old slave obeys!"

After Xu Jin returned to the small courtyard, there was already a pile of gifts in the courtyard, saying it was sent from the palace.

Xu Jin looked at it angrily and called Jiang Er to handle it.

This is the so-called apology sent by Prince Xin.

However, this gift list had already been seen by Xu Jin in the palace.

It is purely fooling Xu Jin, fooling the Grand Master.

1000 catties of tribute rice.

100 catties of tribute salt.

10 bolts of Chu brocade.

All kinds of things like this, all are tribute items that look tall and high, but there is not much intrinsic value.

Xu Jin can guarantee that one strand of starlight from the Star-Plucking Tower can set up all the things on this Prince Xin's apology gift list, and there is still a surplus.

By now, Xu Jin has completely understood that this so-called marriage bestowal is purely testing Xu Jin's attitude, and there is no possibility of substantial content at all.

Because the gift list prepared in advance has already exposed their attitude.

The gifts from any of the six families that came to thank Xu Jin before were all stronger than this.

This made Xu Jin feel a certain contempt.

No wonder the Grand Master said Prince Xin is becoming more and more presumptuous.

Of course, Xu Jin understands very well that this is actually determined by his value.

And his strength determines his value.

For the value in the eyes of Prince Xin or the Royal Family, Xu Jin doesn't care.

However, Xu Jin understands that strength is equivalent to freedom.

Xu Jin wants to cultivate, wants to strengthen himself.

It is best to be strong enough to sleep with a princess if he wants to, and refuse casually if he doesn't want to.

That day, Xu Jin spent it in bitter cultivation.

September 19th, in the morning, after Xu Jin sent Jiang Er to the outer courtyard of the National Dao Academy to point stars, he started his own bitter cultivation, arranging his time fully.

He also went to the Fourth Tier Star Power Secret Realm for an hour every day, and the Star Gathering Array of the Feiyan Hall was also visited every day.

At the same time, Xu Jin also started to hone his divine soul power once a day for the five opportunities to ascend the Heavenly Stairs he obtained.

On the 19th, news of many geniuses successfully pointing stars came from the outer courtyard of the National Dao Academy.

The strongest genius, named Song Xian, successfully pointed stars in the morning.

The A-grade evaluation is inevitable.

On the 19th, in the autumn pointing star of the National Dao Academy, there were three geniuses who successfully pointed stars in one day.

Not surprisingly, Jiang Er didn't successfully point stars that day.

On the evening of the 19th, after two days of bitter cultivation, Xu Jin's Central Shang Xinggong cultivation base reached the peak of the Fifth Layer of Refine Star; as for the Lower Shang Xinggong, it was still at the peak of the Fourth Layer of Refine Star; according to the Grand Master's instructions, Xu Jin spent these two days cultivating the Central Shang Xinggong with all his strength.

At night, Xu Jin easily inscribed the Fourth Tier Star Change Star Pattern he had already inscribed into the sixth star pattern position of the Central Shang Xinggong.

Xu Jin didn't go directly to the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, but first went to the Third Tier Practice Arena Secret Realm.

He fought fifteen games in a row to adapt to the changes brought by the Star Change Star Pattern.

The most significant change brought by the Star Change Star Pattern is that the blasted star arts can be according to the heart.

Star arrows can become star swords. Even become curved blades.

Even boomerangs are possible.

The Nine Pulse Divine Sword has already lived up to its name.

The most important change is that Xu Jin can freely use star power to manifest weapons.

Fire knives, fire swords, fire guns, fire blades, as he pleases.

Even Ning Yuchan's signature blade wheel, Xu Jin can also manifest.

However, it only has the appearance, but not the lethality of Ning Yuchan's signature blade wheel.

Ning Yuchan's blade wheel is also a combined star art, which requires gold-type and wind-type star art star patterns to be combined to explode the might of the blade wheel.

That is a brand new star art created by Ning Yuchan.

This combination method, Ning Yuchan has only told Xu Jin roughly, and it needs to occupy four star pattern positions.

Subsequently, Xu Jin appeared in the Star-Plucking Secret Realm and started challenging directly.

Copper Star, Silver Star, there is no suspense.

However, Xu Jin didn't challenge Golden Star directly today.

After connecting to two Golden Stars last time, it attracted attention from all sides; when challenging the Killing God Battlefield continuously, the Grand Master even reminded Xu Jin.

Now Xu Jin is paying special attention to this aspect.

In the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, the newly added Silver Star will show which faction it belongs to.

If Da Chen connected to two Silver Stars, and then the Star-Plucking Secret Realm suddenly added two Golden Stars, although it wouldn't be directly exposed, if someone with a heart pays attention, there will inevitably be associations.

If the winner of the Golden Star is locked within the Da Chen National Dao Academy, then finding Xu Jin is only a matter of time.

Unless Xu Jin gives up challenging Golden Star and Silver Star completely in the future.

After challenging Silver Star and connecting to two Silver Stars, Xu Jin went to sleep directly.

Xu Jin didn't know that his sleep caused a lot of trouble for the Grand Master.

Inside the Danxia Palace, the Grand Master had already received the report from Peng Zongguan; in Da Chen, two more Silver Stars were connected.

When Peng Zongguan reported, he also specially escaped to the sky above Xu Jin's small courtyard to take a look, confirming that Xu Jin was in the quiet room, before coming to report.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who received the news, was happy.

What made him happy was not the two Silver Stars.

But the Golden Star that was about to be obtained.

According to Xu Jin's previous habit, after challenging Silver Star, he would challenge Golden Star in one breath.

According to the Grand Master's experience, he felt that Xu Jin should at least be able to win one Golden Star.

After all, the cultivation base only improved by one layer, so the Inner Demon and the gatekeeper only strengthened by one layer; the Inner Demon is hard to say, but Xu Jin could kill the Golden Star gatekeeper in a very short time when he was at the Fourth Layer of Refine Star, so when he is at the Fifth Layer of Refine Star, it shouldn't be difficult to kill the Golden Star gatekeeper.

Sitting and waiting for a Golden Star to be credited.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, in his happiness, had already taken out his favorite tea set, boiled water, brewed tea, and sat waiting for the Golden Star to be credited.

After drinking a cup of tea, nothing.

Not in a hurry.

It can't be that fast.

Keep waiting.

Two cups, three cups, a pot of tea was finished.

The Grand Master, who had been paying attention to the Star-Plucking Secret Realm, found that there was no Golden Star increase, so he brewed another pot.

A quarter of an hour later, he brewed another pot.

When brewing tea, he looked at the white-haired Peng Zongguan, who understood, and ran to the sky above Xu Jin's small courtyard quickly again.

Dozens of breaths later, Peng Zongguan returned.

"Palace Master, Xu Jin is still in the quiet room, maybe he is still challenging."

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao gave an "um" and continued to brew tea.

The third pot, the fourth pot, the fifth pot.

He drank until his abdomen was bloated, got up and went to the clean room, looked at the Golden Star quantity that had no change, and was slightly disappointed.

Peng Zongguan left again, returned ten breaths later, with a look of disappointment.

"Palace Master, Xu Jin has already fallen asleep."

"Fallen asleep?"

A disappointment flashed in Cheng Yuexiao's eyes; this means he didn't win the Golden Star, the challenge failed.

"Palace Master, challenging Golden Star, failure is normal. Even in the whole current world, it only appears once every few years." Peng Zongguan comforted.

"Indeed. Look at him in the future.

No need for more, just win one or two more Golden Stars, and I will be satisfied."

After instructing, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao cultivated for a while and went to sleep.

This night, he ran to the clean room twice.

He drank too much tea.

Early on the morning of September 20th, at 3:55 AM, Xu Jin woke up when he was ready.

With the help of the Wenmeng Star Pattern, Xu Jin only needs to sleep for two hours every day, which is four hours, to be full of energy.

Besides that, he takes a nap for two quarters of an hour at noon to restore his divine soul power, and all other time is used for cultivation.

Basically, he cultivates for at least eighteen hours a day.

Xu Jin, who got up, didn't cultivate; if he cultivated again, he would break through to the Sixth Layer of Refine Star.

After playing the Five Battle Killing Fist once, stretching his muscles and bones, Xu Jin entered the Star-Plucking Secret Realm directly to challenge Golden Star.

First, he challenged the Golden Star level Inner Demon.

Still the previous tactic.

But it didn't go smoothly.

The Inner Demon had already learned the Exploding Thunder Step, Thunder Wing, and Lei Shi that Xu Jin had used before.

While Xu Jin was approaching rapidly, the Inner Demon was moving away rapidly.

During the chase, the Inner Demon kept bombarding Xu Jin with Thunder Arrows, almost killing Xu Jin.

Finally, after Xu Jin used invisibility once, he found an opportunity, approached the Inner Demon rapidly, and blasted out the Breaking Evil Arrow.

Taking advantage of the moment when the Inner Demon's divine soul was damaged and slightly stagnant, he blasted with Flame Explosion, and slashed with the Nine Pulse Thunder Sword, killing the Inner Demon in one fell swoop.

Won one Golden Star.

Although he won, Xu Jin clearly felt the pressure brought by the Golden Star level Inner Demon.

The influence of the Breaking Evil Arrow on the Golden Star level Inner Demon was obviously reduced.

It should be that as Xu Jin's cultivation base broke through, the strength of the Golden Star level Inner Demon improved, and the strength in the divine soul aspect also improved uniformly.

After the next breakthrough, it would be difficult to defeat the Golden Star level Inner Demon relying on this tactic.

Subsequently, Xu Jin challenged the Golden Star level gatekeeper after he reached the Fifth Layer of Refine Star.

The gatekeeper was the same as before, only his strength was enhanced.

For the current Xu Jin, it was not difficult!

The same tactic, five breaths later, won.

【Congratulations on successfully challenging the Golden Star level gatekeeper, obtained one Golden Star】

【Whether to challenge Brilliant Star】

【Challenge】

A minute and a half later, Xu Jin's figure was blasted into countless starlight and dissipated.

Challenge failed.

But there were also gains.

Last time challenging Brilliant Star, Xu Jin only lasted for one minute, but this time, under the siege of the Golden Star level Inner Demon and gatekeeper, he lasted for a minute and a half.

This is also a huge progress.

Two Golden Stars credited.

Xu Jin went directly to do morning lessons and cultivation; this morning, he could meet the Grand Master's requirements and break through to the Sixth Layer of Refine Star.

But it was only a single star palace breakthrough.

Xu Jin didn't know that his behavior directly exploded the pot again.

Or rather, first exploded the dream, then exploded the group!

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao has a lot of official business every day, and after handling official business, he still has to cultivate, so he sleeps relatively late.

At 3:55 AM, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who was still sleeping, was suddenly awakened by a light knocking sound; it was the white-haired Peng Zongguan knocking lightly on the door.

"What's the matter?"

"Palace Master, just now, the Star-Plucking Secret Realm added two Golden Stars very abruptly!"

"What?"

This news directly made Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who was sleepy, sit up abruptly, "Added two more Golden Stars? Which peerless genius popped out again?"

The Grand Master was a bit confused!
