Chapter 226: Giving a Star-Plucking Tower

In the back mountain of Song Mountain, a third-tier Purple-Clear Tiger was hung upside down by Magic Arrow Mo Ji with star power, neatly skinned and gutted; the star core was casually thrown by Mo Ji outside the mountain cave, its faint aura deterring all mountain beasts that smelled the blood.

"Whoa, this tiger whip is a great tonic!"

Mo Ji said, then threw the freshly cut tiger whip into a boiling pot after cleaning it.

Following these two, Xu Jin could be considered to have broadened his horizons.

They were simply an ultra-strong version of Bear Grylls in another world.

Both carried iron pots, various seasonings, and even large amounts of clean water.

It could be seen that both possessed Sumeru Mustard Seed spaces, and then became wilderness survival experts.

"People of our Lord Lingji Star Palace, just for this point, make everyone envious, jealous, and hateful, but any expert above the fifth tier can have a divine soul cultivation reaching above the fourth tier, and then open up a Sumeru Mustard Seed space, carrying quite a few things with them.

Even in the wilderness, they can live comfortably."

Mo Ji said while cutting a large piece of tiger breast meat with thick fat and throwing it to Qi Shanye, "Old Qi, start roasting."

"You kid, cultivate well; your current divine soul cultivation of Refine Star sixth or seventh layer, after a few more years, will be able to condense stars with your divine soul, and then you can learn to be like us."

Magic Arrow Mo Ji didn't dare to recklessly probe Xu Jin's cultivation like Qi Shanye by fully activating the Mingji Star Pattern; in his normal sensing, Xu Jin's divine soul cultivation was just Refine Star sixth or seventh layer.

Now that they were familiar, the posture of a martial uncle was taken, and he began to guide Xu Jin.

Very quickly, Qi Shanye roasted the tiger meat until it was sizzling with oil, then sprinkled on homemade seasoning, making it taste very delicious.

After taking two fierce bites, Magic Arrow Mo Ji suddenly sighed, "Old Qi, when was the last time we met? Five years ago, right?"

"Five years and three months."

"Five years and three months!

Now that we are reunited, you have taken such an excellent disciple, but unfortunately, there is no wine.

Otherwise, we should drink three big bowls!" Magic Arrow Mo Ji said.

"I wanted to buy wine when I was in the Barbarian Lion City before, but that wine was harder to drink than horse urine, so I didn't buy it," Qi Shanye said.

"Eh, the Barbarian Lion City, I also hid there a few years ago! There is Da Hong's Nine-Cool Spring, which is good wine, but it's too expensive to sell over there!" Mo Ji said.

"Yes, it's ten taels of gold a jar," Qi Shanye sighed.

Qi Shanye knew Nine-Cool Spring and had seen it in Lion City, but he couldn't afford it.

"You, still the same!"

"Old habits die hard! I have done everything in my life, but I have never been a thief!"

Xu Jin froze for a few seconds before he heard the meaning.

The general idea was that Qi Shanye had principles.

Otherwise, with Qi Shanye's invisibility technique, he could just turn around and touch a large amount of silver, so why worry about not having silver to buy wine.

This situation and these words caused Xu Jin's heart to move slightly.

He didn't pretend anymore.

Even if he exposed some strength, Magic Arrow Mo Ji wouldn't know his identity.

Star power and divine soul fluctuated simultaneously, and with the activation of object control, a jar of wine appeared before Mo Ji in an instant.

Mo Ji was overjoyed, leaned over to sniff it, and smelled it, "Da Chen's First-Grade Flowing Mist Drunken, also good wine, good kid, actually knew to bring..."

Suddenly, Mo Ji looked at Xu Jin and froze, reacting fiercely.

This wine was taken out of thin air by Xu Jin.

That is to say, Xu Jin had also opened up a Sumeru Mustard Seed space.

That is to say, Xu Jin's divine soul cultivation had already reached fourth-tier Condense Star.

The next instant, Mo Ji's face changed, and he directly threw the roasted meat in his hand at Qi Shanye. Qi Shanye seemed to have expected it, and with a slight support of star light, he caught the roasted meat and then ate it in big mouthfuls.

"Old Qi, you bastard, even lying to me!"

"This isn't because this disciple is a treasure, and we are living from day to day!" Old Qi explained.

Mo Ji wanted to scold again, but Xu Jin had already poured three big bowls of wine, "Martial Uncle, you and Teacher are reunited, I saw you were happy, so I couldn't hold back and took out this jar of wine to honor you."

"Teacher, please!"

Xu Jin offered a bowl of wine to each of them.

With this bowl of wine as a foundation, Mo Ji couldn't flare up, so he could only hum and drink a bowl of wine in one gulp!

"Your disciple is much more generous than you, you old bastard!"

"Refreshing!"

"Again!"

"Martial Uncle, please!"

"Again!"

Xu Jin poured wine, and Mo Ji and Qi Shanye drank three big bowls in a row. Qi Shanye put down the wine bowl and suddenly said, "Old Mo, look, the child has called you Martial Uncle, shouldn't you express something, you must give a meeting gift?"

Mo Ji's eyes widened, "You old thing, so you were calculating this? All these years, you and I have been hiding here and there, where would I get a meeting gift!"

This made Xu Jin feel embarrassed, hurriedly saying it wasn't needed.

The next instant, Mo Ji thought about it, but took out three jade tablets from his arms, then stared at Qi Shanye and said, "You old thing, were you calculating this?"

"You should take them all out! We are all homeless dogs, don't know when we will die, keep the things at the bottom of the box, and take them to the grave?

At least pass them down first," Qi Shanye scolded.

Qi Shanye's words directly scolded Mo Ji into autism.

After a while, he suddenly sighed, "That's true! Old Qi, you see things clearly!"

After speaking, Magic Arrow Mo Ji touched his arms again, totaling six jade tablets, all of which he handed to Xu Jin.

"Your teacher and I are both in the Lord Lingji Star Palace, but the direction of our study is different; he is the star art school, and I am the object control school.

These six jade tablets are six star patterns, and I have already made all the markings. After you reach fourth-tier Condense Star, you can engrave them into a new star core in order. This is the ultimate unique skill of our Lord Lingji Star Palace's object control school, the sixth-tier object control star art, Breaking Void.

If you learn it, practice it to proficiency, and then if your divine soul cultivation can break through to the fifth tier, if there is a chance, you can even behead a seventh-tier expert."

Mo Ji had just finished speaking when Qi Shanye's expression changed, "No, Old Mo, I remember your object control school's Breaking Void wasn't a fifth-tier star art, how did it become sixth-tier?"

Magic Arrow Mo Ji sighed, "When the Star Palace still existed, the elders of our object control school were fighting each other, each cherishing their own broom, all treating the star patterns they deduced as treasures, and no one would let anyone else learn, fearing being surpassed.

Alas, when disaster struck, our Lord Lingji Star Palace's one of two major schools, the object control school, didn't have a single expert who could oppose the eighth tier.

Many elders also woke up at that moment.

They put all their treasures into the Star-Plucking Tower, letting us juniors learn freely, but it was already too late!

Too late!

My teacher gave me all these and gave me the direction for deduction, and then died in battle."

While speaking, tears welled up in Mo Ji's eyes.

Xu Jin poured a bowl of wine at the right time.

Mo Ji drank it in one gulp, and while drinking, wiped away his tears.

"All these years, according to the ideas left by my teacher, I practiced and wasted two star cores before successfully deducing this sixth-tier star art!

It's a pity, if they had shared it earlier, with this star art, the two elders could have fought off an eighth-tier expert.

But now, it's too late to say anything."

While speaking, Mo Ji looked at Xu Jin again, "Martial Nephew, this thing, this ultimate skill of the object control school, I will pass it to you. If I die in battle one day, remember to find a successor and pass it on for me!

As for the danger, feel free to use it.

Calculated, this is a brand-new sixth-tier object control star art, and people from the Heavenly Yang and Azure Star Palaces will only feel it is somewhat similar, but in the world, there are many similar star arts, so feel free to use it."

Xu Jin stood up solemnly, "The disciple thanks Martial Uncle."

Seeing this, Mo Ji nodded with satisfaction, and took out another jade tablet and handed it to Xu Jin, "This is the research and deduction insights of this Breaking Void star art. After you thoroughly learn it and your cultivation is high, you can also try to deduce it again.

However, there are space star patterns, metal star patterns, and wind star patterns here, a total of three systems of star patterns. It is estimated that it will take you more than a year to fully learn these six star patterns. By then, don't be in a hurry, take your time."

Xu Jin heard this, but felt secretly awe-struck.

He knew the rank of the star art and the difficulty of deducing the star art.

The deduction difficulty of single-system star pattern star arts is the lowest; composite star arts are star arts mixed with two or more systems of star patterns, and the deduction difficulty increases exponentially.

But at the same time, the power also increases exponentially.

The value of a sixth-tier composite star art, and a three-system one at that, could be imagined; it really was an ultimate skill! Xu Jin bowed and thanked him again!

Magic Arrow Mo Ji accepted Xu Jin's great gift, then glared at Qi Shanye, "You old thing, are you satisfied now?"

Hearing this, Qi Shanye glared fiercely, "Go, Old Mo, you are taking advantage and acting like you are suffering! This ultimate skill of yours is an ultimate skill, but if given to others, they wouldn't be able to learn it! You should thank me!"

"You..."

Magic Arrow Mo Ji was so angry he wanted to hit someone with meat, Xu Jin hurriedly handed over the wine bowl, which skipped this topic!

Afterward, the three master and disciples chatted a lot. During the chat, Magic Arrow Mo Ji didn't ask half a sentence about Xu Jin's identity, obviously, Old Qi's worry had also occurred to him.

Xu Jin looked at the two, but felt even more uncomfortable!

These two actually lived every day as if it were their last, constantly preparing for death, which was why they had such thoughts.

"Alright, the chat is done, the old times are recounted, and the wine is drunk. Happy today! Then let's discuss the big event," Qi Shanye burped, his expression becoming serious.

"Old Mo, do you know why I asked you to come this time?" Qi Shanye asked.

Mo Ji glanced at Qi Shanye, "Isn't it to let me be a thug? When you set up the Star-Plucking Tower to do things, hold back Hu Xuechuan so you can finish the work smoothly. If you ask me, just do something ruthless, ambush and kill Hu Xuechuan, and then your big trouble will be completely solved."

"I want to! But wanting to ambush and kill Hu Xuechuan, how difficult is that!"

Qi Shanye sighed, "Hu Xuechuan is not stupid. These days, he should have already sensed the movement of my aura. As long as he is clear about my direction, he definitely won't come alone. Last time he came to hunt me down, he brought two extra people!

This time, there will only be more!

It will be good if we can escape alive!"

"No, you don't understand what I mean."

Magic Arrow Mo Ji's eyes were full of ruthlessness, "My meaning is that you put down the Star-Plucking Tower and then take it back, luring Hu Xuechuan over. Our goal is not to do things, but to ambush and kill! With my means, and your cooperation, it is possible to kill Hu Xuechuan with one blow!

As long as Hu Xuechuan is killed, your big trouble will be gone, and you won't have to be so miserable in the future!

Then we will flee for our lives again; as long as there is no Hu Xuechuan's star artifact lock, with your and my invisibility techniques, it will be very easy to shake off the pursuers."

Qi Shanye weighed it carefully for a few seconds, then shook his head, "The risk is too big!"

"No, why have you become so timid!" Mo Ji was anxious.

"My focus is different now."

Qi Shanye glanced at Xu Jin, "Now, I just want to pass on everything I should pass on to him. After passing all this on, by then, I will have no worries, and without you saying it, I will also go to his door and have a bloody battle with Hu Xuechuan!

By then, even if I have to burn my divine soul, I will give Hu Xuechuan a ruthless blow!

To avenge the blood feud of these years!"

Mo Ji froze, his body that was sitting straight suddenly bent down.

And Xu Jin, who had been listening for a long time, finally waited for the opportunity to interject.

"No, Teacher, I think Martial Uncle is right, we must take this opportunity to ambush and kill Hu Xuechuan, and solve this big trouble for you first!"

"You know a fart!"

Qi Shanye glared, "I asked you to come today just to handle this big event, the others are not important!"

"Big event?"

"What do you think, otherwise, why would I ask your Martial Uncle to come, just listen to my arrangements!"

Just when Qi Shanye was about to arrange the specific tactics, Xu Jin was anxious, and directly took out seven of the ten fifth-tier emblems in his hand.

Xu Jin kept three for himself, two attack and one defense!

"Teacher, you forgot, why did I come to find you this time? To give you fifth-tier emblems!"

Magic Arrow Mo Ji's eyes lit up, "Seven fifth-tier emblems, five attack and two defense! All superior, good things!

With these seven fifth-tier emblems, the probability of us successfully ambushing and killing Hu Xuechuan should reach more than sixty percent, and after the ambush, the certainty of successfully escaping alive will also exceed sixty percent!"

After speaking, Mo Ji stared at Xu Jin and was shocked, "You kid, did you rob some state treasury? So many fifth-tier emblems?"

But just after speaking, Mo Ji slapped himself, "Don't answer, pretend I didn't ask."

Xu Jin understood instantly, because this question might involve Xu Jin's identity information, which was why Mo Ji was like this.

Qi Shanye looked at these emblems, his brows tightly locked, "Sixty percent probability, still not enough! I am now..."

While speaking, Qi Shanye looked at Xu Jin again, the meaning couldn't be clearer.

Up to this point, Magic Arrow Mo Ji already understood Qi Shanye's intention and purpose, so he didn't try to persuade him half a sentence more.

But Xu Jin was anxious.

"No, Martial Uncle, Teacher, look at these emblems carefully, these emblems of mine are different from fifth-tier emblems; they are emblems refined with special methods.

Emblems with doubled power!"

"What?"

Mo Ji and Qi Shanye looked at Xu Jin in extreme surprise at the same time, and at the same time, both grabbed a nourished fifth-tier emblem Xu Jin took out, and their divine sense surged in.

Both were experts, both had engraved the Mingji Star Pattern, and their perception was astonishing.

Before getting them, they couldn't sense, but after getting them, they sensed this nourished fifth-tier emblem clearly.

"This emblem is indeed unusual; the star power contained within is even more majestic than the star power in a sixth-tier Star Jade Tablet! The key is that it is all in the Star Pivot Star Pattern, simply perfect!

When did such an emblem saint appear in the world?"

Magic Arrow Mo Ji subconsciously looked at Xu Jin, but the next instant, he slapped himself again.

"Pretend I didn't ask!"

Xu Jin was helpless.

He saw Magic Arrow Mo Ji's Adam's apple bobbing up and down, very curious, but didn't dare to ask.

By comparison, Qi Shanye was much more convenient, "Where did you get these?" Old Qi transmitted directly.

"Given by the emblem master Senior Dean Kou Jing of the Dao Academy." Xu Jin could only plant this fame on Kou Jing at this time.

"Has Kou Jing's emblem attainment become so strong?" Qi Shanye was very surprised, "And, giving you so many, how could he be willing? These seven fifth-tier emblems have power comparable to sixth-tier emblems, worth a fortune."

"He said I have talent in emblems and let me be his emblem successor." Xu Jin confessed directly.

Hearing this, Qi Shanye was sour again!

But this time, he was only sour for a moment, and then understood!

Compared to what he was about to give Xu Jin, these seven fifth-tier emblems didn't count for much!

"Each one has at least the power of a sixth-tier mid-grade emblem, or even higher." Magic Arrow Mo Ji was anxious. "If so, then we can really ambush and kill Hu Xuechuan!"

"Indeed!"

Up to this point, Qi Shanye finally nodded, "Not only can we ambush and kill Hu Xuechuan, but two things can be done together!"

"The second thing is?"

"Completely transfer the control authority of this Star-Plucking Tower of mine to my disciple, and by then, I will need your cooperation." Qi Shanye said.

"Star-Plucking Tower, completely?"

Mo Ji was a bit shocked, "You can't bear it, can't use it, aren't you afraid he can't bear it?"

"It's fine, if he can't bear it, just leave it there. With my disciple's growth speed, there will always be a day when he can bear it. As long as there is a chance to use it, as long as he uses it, it will bring him infinite benefits," Qi Shanye said.

Hearing this, Mo Ji glanced at Xu Jin and nodded slowly.

On the side, Xu Jin was stunned.

What is Old Qi doing?

Giving him a Star-Plucking Tower?

This is too exaggerated!

"Alright, since it's decided, then I will formulate the tactics now. Although the probability has greatly increased with these emblems, doing two things together still requires careful planning."

While speaking, Qi Shanye picked out one attack and one defense emblem from the seven emblems and handed them to Xu Jin first, "These two, keep them for life-saving."

"No, I have other emblems for life-saving."

"Still have?"

Mo Ji was stunned.

"Still have quite a few! You use these, don't worry about me." Xu Jin directly showed a few emblems, indicating he had them, and Qi Shanye then gave up.

Seeing this, Magic Arrow Mo Ji's expression was a bit sour, "It seems you really met a good teacher."

"What do you mean?"

Qi Shanye glared fiercely, "Am I not better than that teacher of his?"

"Hmm, better, better! You've even poured out your heart and lungs, can you not be better?" Mo Ji said sourly.

"Humph, you want to pour it out, but do you have a suitable disciple?"

Mo Ji wanted to hit someone!

The next instant, Mo Ji silently accepted the wine bowl handed over by Xu Jin and drank it in one gulp!

Hey, having a disciple is really good!

"Alright, the first element of ambushing and killing Hu Xuechuan is the location! Since we are doing two things together, the previously selected location won't work..."
