Chapter 187: Fifth Tier Enshrined

"What about the Spring Rain Division, is there any relevant intelligence sent up?"

"How is the investigation of the Danxia Guard? How is the collection of the latest intelligence on the genius disciples of various countries and Star Palaces recently?"

"Two more Golden Stars popped out? Why are there so many genius disciples this year?"

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao asked three questions in a row, then slowly got up, poured a few more mouthfuls of cold tea, and then became completely awake, suddenly looking at Peng Zongguan.

"Peng Lao, do you think it could be Xu Jin?"

Peng Zongguan nodded lightly, "Palace Master, I have already been to the sky above Xu Jin's courtyard just now, this kid is indeed diligent, he got up to cultivate after 3:00 AM, but whether it is him, it is currently impossible to determine."

"The matter is of great importance, then I will go directly to determine."

After dressing, a cluster of starlight flowed from head to toe, and Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, who had just slept, was full of energy and radiant, and then disappeared.

Inside the quiet room, Xu Jin, who was cultivating, suddenly moved his expression, and the Mingji Star Pattern of the Lower Shang Xinggong shone brightly.

The moment he opened his eyes, he saw the Grand Master appearing outside his quiet room window, looking at him.

Xu Jin was stunned and hurriedly got up to welcome the Grand Master in.

After a cluster of starlight opened to isolate the inside and outside, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao asked, "Xu Jin, did you win Golden Stars this morning?"

"Won.

Won two."

Cheng Yuexiao's expression was stunned.

He didn't expect that the intelligence that made his heart jump wildly this morning would be implemented so quickly, and it was his own disciple who won them.

But remembering that he waited for half the night last night without result, Cheng Yuexiao was a bit curious.

"Was the Silver Star last night won by you?" Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Um, yes." Xu Jin answered directly; there was nothing to hide about this.

The Grand Master already knew he won Golden Stars, so there was no need to hide Silver Stars.

"Then you failed to challenge Golden Star last night?" Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"Didn't fail, I didn't challenge at all last night."

Cheng Yuexiao paused slightly, stared at Xu Jin faintly; last night, in order to wait for this Golden Star to be credited, he drank five pots of tea, but he didn't expect this kid didn't fight at all.

Seeing the Grand Master staring at him, Xu Jin hurriedly explained, "I suddenly thought last night that Da Chen connected to two Silver Stars, and the Star-Plucking Secret Realm suddenly added two Golden Stars, would someone suspect me.

So I didn't rush to challenge, I only challenged this morning."

Cheng Yuexiao rubbed his fingertips, having the urge to beat Xu Jin, but smiled on his mouth, "Not bad, you have learned to think and protect yourself, you have progress! Very good, continue like this in the future."

After thinking for a while, Cheng Yuexiao asked suddenly, "Fire-type star pattern disassembly, how many of the notes I specified for you have you learned?"

"Only the fourth one."

"Four already? Have you understood and mastered them all?"

"Should be."

"What does 'should be' mean?"

"I feel I understand."

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao glanced at Xu Jin, didn't talk nonsense, wiped his fingers, directly wiped out a star curtain, and then drew a few patterns casually, and said to Xu Jin, "Complete it, and then tell me about it."

Xu Jin only glanced at it and understood what this was testing.

The third main trunk of the low-tier fire source star pattern, star power surged from his fingertips, completed it rapidly, and while the completed star pattern turned into fire light, Xu Jin also spoke endlessly.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao had a strange look in his eyes, and then tested several questions in a row, including several questions about mid-tier fire source, all of which Xu Jin answered.

Listening to Xu Jin's answers, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao's fingertips behind his back couldn't help but tremble a few times.

"Good, then continue! Strive to learn the other notes within these few days, and then you can use ten Silver Stars to exchange for an ordinary derivation opportunity to try to deduce the mid-tier fire source star pattern."

Xu Jin naturally obeyed.

After Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao finished instructing, he was about to leave, but after he was about to leave, he suddenly asked again, "Your Central Shang Xinggong has reached the peak of the Fifth Layer of Refine Star, are you planning to break through?"

"Exactly."

"Don't break through yet, cultivate the Lower Shang Xinggong as well, it won't be too late to break through to the Sixth Layer of Refine Star in a few days." Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao said.

Xu Jin was stunned, but also understood, nodded and obeyed.

It should be because of the two Golden Stars connected, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao didn't want him to be too eye-catching, so he asked him to slow down the breakthrough.

Xu Jin didn't care about this point.

Anyway, it doesn't affect his cultivation base improvement.

A few breaths later, Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao left, and Xu Jin turned to cultivate the Lower Shang Xinggong.

Inside the Danxia Palace, the Grand Master and Peng Zongguan arrived one after another.

Peng Zongguan's expression was a bit excited, "Palace Master, four Golden Stars! And, Xu Jin, this kid's speed in learning to disassemble fire-type star patterns is so fast, he might have super talent in fire-type star arts, in the future, perhaps he can find more fire-type star patterns to cultivate.

In the future, there is even the possibility of deducing fire-elephant star patterns."

"Looking at it now, the talent is very strong! But the appearance of four Golden Stars, various Star Palaces and countries, I am afraid..." Grand Master looked worried.

"Order all academic scholars and deputy academic scholars, two hours later, Minglun Hall meeting."

"Yes, Palace Master, this is?"

"The appearance of four Golden Stars has touched the nerves of some people; some guys, I am afraid, will do some things at all costs."

"Kill by mistake rather than let go?" Peng Zongguan hesitated.

"This is certain."

Peng Zongguan's brows instantly locked into a 'chuan' shape, "The Star River Battlefield is so big, isn't it enough for them to develop? Why do they still fight internally like this?"

Hearing this, the Grand Master sighed, "The Star River Battlefield is indeed big, there are newly discovered star domains every year, but currently, all discovered star domains are star domains with upper limits; like the current world, there is not a single star domain without restrictions.

This proves the importance of the current world's authority from another aspect.

Don't look at the fact that since the destruction of the Lingji Shang Xinggong twenty years ago, the major forces in the current world have had no major actions, but in reality, they are all strengthening themselves with the gains from attacking star domains, accumulating strength, and then looking for an opportunity to settle the current world and obtain the supreme authority of the current world.

Now it is, wind and rain are coming!

Or rather, the destruction of the Lingji Shang Xinggong twenty years ago was just an appetizer."

"Why can't they cultivate properly." Peng Zongguan sighed.

"There are too few people like you who have no desires." The Grand Master sighed.

"No desires?" Peng Zongguan's expression was complex, "That's not it, I also have thoughts, I just hope the academy will last forever, generation after generation prosperous..."

Suddenly, Peng Zongguan stopped talking.

Because he discovered that his thought is actually not much different from the behavior of other parties.

Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao held the Star-Plucking Token, and his mind sank into the dialogue group of the top talkers of their various forces.

The group was quiet, not a single message.

This made Cheng Yuexiao's expression even more solemn.

Actually, everyone jumped out to talk about this matter, which represents that everyone can accept this matter.

Just like when two Golden Stars were added before, a group of big shots jumped out to fight, which actually represents that this matter is within their bottom line of acceptance. Now no one mentions it, then the matter of four Golden Stars added this year means it's really a big deal.

No one mentioned this matter.

That means they are acting directly!

He also needs to arrange it, he must have corresponding actions.

In the morning, Jiang Er went to point stars happily.

Xu Jin, who finished cultivation, received another starlight transmission.

It was sent by Ling Mao, Deputy Hall Master of the External Affairs Hall, asking him to go over, saying that the things Xu Jin wanted, he had found.

Inside the No. 3 Flower Hall of the External Affairs Hall, Ling Mao placed the three thousand-year turtle shells he found for Xu Jin side by side in front of Xu Jin.

The thousand-year turtle shells were dark brown, and from afar, Xu Jin sensed the thick starlight power.

"This is what I begged from a Sixth Tier Alchemist Master, he can refine Long Gui Forging Soul Pill, and has a lot of stock in his hands; I spent a lot of effort to make him part with it." Ling Mao said.

Xu Jin understood that this was to owe a favor, and he had to express his stance clearly, "Thank you, Hall Master Ling, for your help; if there is anything Xu Jin can help with in the future, please speak directly, as long as I can help, I will definitely take action."

"Where, where, small matter, small matter."

Three thousand-year turtle shells, the largest one is slightly larger than a palm, weighing two catties and four taels, and the smallest one is slightly smaller than a palm, weighing one catty and nine taels.

The three together weigh six catties and five taels.

A total of 6500 Dao Merit points are needed, if counting the 20% tax, it is close to 8000 Dao Merit.

Xu Jin didn't expect that Ling Mao directly put these three thousand-year turtle shells on the sales list of the External Affairs Hall, and Xu Jin bought them on the spot, actually paying 6825 Dao Merit points, and the Dao Merit points shrank again.

【Dao Merit: 28284 points】

But trading is always more cost-effective than direct transfer.

During the period, Ling Mao also specially told Xu Jin about this matter.

This is the rule of the Star-Plucking Tower.

As long as all parties set up a main building and are willing to use the Star-Plucking Tower, they must accept this rule, whether it is the Da Chen National Dao Academy or the Shang Xinggong, all execute this rule.

Related tax rates, all parties with main buildings can only adjust upwards, not downwards.

But there is still a difference.

The tax revenue generated by each main building, the Star-Plucking Tower takes away a part, and the other part will be returned to each main building.

This design makes Xu Jin even more curious about this Star-Plucking Tower!

Who designed this system?

Behind the Star-Plucking Tower, is it really just a Star Domain Dao Artifact?

"Besides that, the matter you entrusted to me last time, Lord Xu, I have also handled it for you. Including various taxes, a total of 830 strands of starlight, this is the land deed, this is the key, these are the contracts of the two remaining apprentices in the shop." Ling Mao said again.

Xu Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and after accepting the things, he thanked him again.

This solved his big problem.

Ling Mao helped him a lot, this favor has eaten Xu Jin to death.

In the future, he must return a big one.

After leaving the External Affairs Hall, Xu Jin continued to go to the National Dao Academy library to study, but in the middle, he received a starlight transmission from Ying Bonian.

It was said that the iron essence and copper essence Xu Jin needed had already been prepared for Xu Jin.

Originally, he was prepared to send someone to send it to Xu Jin at the National Dao Academy, but the National Dao Academy's access control was strict, and these goods were military controlled materials, so he could only trouble Xu Jin to pick them up himself.

However, Ying Bonian also made arrangements; he let Xu Jin tell him a time, and then his son Ying Ge would come to find Xu Jin, and then take Xu Jin to pick up the goods.

After Xu Jin thanked him repeatedly, he set the pick-up time to 3:45 PM in the afternoon.

This news made Xu Jin very excited.

This morning, Xu Jin had already obtained three thousand-year turtle shells from Ling Mao.

Normally, one might be enough, if one is not enough, two would be enough.

For the extra one, Xu Jin really intends to make a heart-protecting armor for his father Xu Dajiang, to nourish his heart and mind, and prolong his father's life.

Now, the iron essence and copper essence finally needed are also about to be obtained; as long as they are obtained, Xu Jin's Third Tier Arena can be upgraded to the Fourth Tier.

What changes will the Fourth Tier Arena bring?

Xu Jin is very much looking forward to it!

While looking forward to it, Xu Jin was thinking about the iron essence and copper essence.

Under the eyes of everyone, Xu Jin couldn't directly collect it into the Arena.

There must be a transit method.

And a plausible use.

Otherwise, such a large amount of iron essence and copper essence disappeared in Xu Jin's hands, that would really be a troublesome matter.

So this matter, Xu Jin must be fully prepared.

Fortunately, he let Ling Mao find it for him before, and handled it together.

In the future, he would have an excuse, and things would be much easier to handle.

The one Ling Mao found for Xu Jin was a closed weapon forging shop in Dachen Wan Yi.

A total of two shop fronts, a weapon forging courtyard covering more than ten acres, the location is not very good, but this is Dachen Wan Yi, Da Chen National Dao Academy.

So it cost more than 800 strands of starlight, more than 80,000 silver, counting the premium of starlight, it exceeded 100,000 silver.

This made Xu Jin's over 1000 strands of starlight shrink directly.

【Starlight: 401 strands】

But it was worth it, at least it solved many troubles for Xu Jin, and it would be more convenient to do things in the future.

And, according to Xu Jin's experience in his past life, real estate in the imperial capital, no matter what, shouldn't lose money, right?

At 3:00 PM, Ying Ge arrived at Xu Jin's small courtyard on time, and then left the National Dao Academy with Xu Jin, going directly to pick up the goods.

This batch of goods was transferred from other places, not convenient to enter Dachen Wan Yi, so it was stored in the cargo warehouse at the Ximen Wharf of Dachen Wan Yi.

To tell the truth, having been in Dachen Wan Yi for a month, this was Xu Jin's first time out of the National Dao Academy, first time strolling in Dachen Wan Yi.

Everything was very fresh along the way.

Compared to the Jin Shan County City, Dachen Wan Yi is still very prosperous.

Star ships streaked across the sky from time to time.

"Senior Brother, the star ships that can fly over Dachen Wan Yi, behind them there is at least a Fifth Tier powerhouse, or even a Sixth Tier powerhouse; ordinary people, like my family, can afford star ships, but don't have the qualification to take off and land in Dachen Wan Yi." Ying Ge acted as a tour guide for Xu Jin, introducing it all the way.

The two walked quite fast, and after more than half a quarter of an hour, they left the city and arrived at the Ximen Wharf cargo warehouse, arriving at the No. 15 cargo warehouse all the way.

Seeing Xu Jin reveal a vigilant heart, Ying Ge hurriedly explained.

"Senior Brother, the ten cargo warehouses nearby are all my family's, convenient for storage, so I invited a Fifth Tier master to be an enshrined guard here." Ying Ge smiled.

Xu Jin, who had just sensed the aura of a Fifth Tier powerhouse, felt his heart relax suddenly.

Very quickly, he saw the iron essence and copper essence.

The volume is not too big, two carts can be loaded away, but Xu Jin couldn't collect it directly, so he could only let Ying Ge send people to the weapon forging shop Xu Jin just received.

Just when Ying Ge was arranging, Xu Jin's face changed, and he asked suddenly, "Junior Brother Ying, how many Fifth Tier enshrined guards did your family invite?"
