November 4th, 1:00 PM.

Xu Jin had just settled his sister Jiang Er and was about to go to Danxia Palace to see the Grand Master, when suddenly, star light descended, and it was Kou Jing who arrived.

"About to participate in the battle, right?"

Kou Jing asked while striding in, casually supporting the star light to isolate the inside and outside, and then slapped all six Fifth-Tier emblems into Xu Jin's hand.

"Producing Fifth-Tier emblems is too exhausting for soul power; your teacher used two Three-Yin Clearing Spirit Pills last night to successfully produce these six Fifth-Tier emblems, four 'Fierce Light' and two 'Prairie Fire'.

'Fierce Light' I gave you before, a pure fire-series attack emblem; now that my cultivation has improved, the power has also slightly improved, so use it whenever you slay a strong enemy.

'Prairie Fire', on the other hand, is a wind-fire dual-series composite Fifth-Tier emblem, with defense in attack, and a larger range; if you encounter a large number of enemies you cannot handle or enemies you need to escape from, using it is best, as it can buy you a chance to escape," Kou Jing introduced quickly.

Xu Jin's gratitude was beyond words; what he lacked was exactly what came.

With the two Sixth-Tier emblems Kou Jing sent yesterday and the six Fifth-Tier emblems now, as long as he nourished them, Xu Jin would dare to break into the Fifth-Tier star domain boldly.

His confidence was completely sufficient.

Confidence is this kind of thing.

Maybe it won't be used, but it absolutely cannot be missing.

It's like driving in his previous life; with insurance, he is confident and doesn't have accidents.

But if he forgot to renew the insurance, he might have an accident in those few days he didn't renew.

Some people think it's a luck problem.

Actually, it's a confidence problem.

Seeing Xu Jin accept them, Kou Jing added, "Use them with confidence. In the next few days, I will continue to produce high-tier emblems according to the Grand Master's requirements to support this Battle of Building Tribute; if you can quickly conquer a star domain and come out, I can supplement you with more emblems."

"Teacher, aren't emblems unable to be brought into the Third-Tier star domain?" Xu Jin asked suspiciously.

"Pretending!"

Kou Jing instantly straightened his face, "Still pretending with your teacher! Many things, the Grand Master only revealed a part, but I have guessed many of them. Although your boy's soul cultivation is only Refine Star Seventh-Layer in my perception.

But when you helped me break through that day, after your soul and Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern covered me, I have already sensed that your soul cultivation must have broken through to the Fourth Tier.

Breaking through to the Fourth Tier means that you have already been able to cast the star art 'Mustard Seed Hiding Mountain', that is, you can open up a Sumeru space.

As long as you open up a Sumeru space, you can bring emblems into the Third-Tier star domain."

Xu Jin was stunned and reported with a bitter smile.

He hadn't told the Grand Master about opening up the Sumeru space yet.

He had just learned the Sumeru Star Pattern from the Grand Master a long time ago, and the Grand Master had never asked.

Thinking about it, the Grand Master was probably already guessing that he had opened up a Sumeru space.

This secret really wasn't easy to hide.

Very few people knew about it before, basically none.

Now, as Xu Jin began to reveal his talent, many people had already made judgments through clues.

Now it was those close to him, such as Kou Jing, the Grand Master, and others.

What about later?

Xu Jin felt that his long-term plan of being low-key probably had to change, or rather, he had to change his strategy of being low-key.

Otherwise, unless Xu Jin pretended to be dead and didn't participate in anything, he wouldn't attract attention.

As long as he attracted a little attention, plus the name of the autumn examination champion, the problems on Xu Jin would be magnified by countless people.

And those who can hold high positions are not stupid!

However, Kou Jing's words also reminded Xu Jin of one thing.

That is, within the star domain, one can bring high-tier emblems in through the Sumeru space.

Third-Tier cultivators basically cannot open up a Sumeru space; Xu Jin is just an exception.

Fourth-Tier cultivators, it's hard to say; maybe there will be, of course, even if there are, they are rare.

Fifth-Tier cultivators, all are impossible, most are also impossible, but at least twenty or thirty percent have opened up a Sumeru space.

For example, Teacher Liu Zhou Qingzhu didn't open up a Sumeru space, but Mountain Master Dong Zhao definitely did.

However, for Fifth-Tier powerhouses, even if you open up a Sumeru space to bring Sixth-Tier emblems in, the strategic significance is not too great.

Firstly, Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier emblems are very precious and can only be used at critical moments, and secondly, Fifth-Tier peak powerhouses like Mountain Master Dong Zhao themselves have the ability to challenge Sixth-Tier powerhouses, so Sixth-Tier emblems can only be auxiliary.

Xu Jin doesn't know the difficulty of producing Sixth-Tier emblems.

But Xu Jin already knows the difficulty of producing Fifth-Tier emblems.

First of all, using Fifth-Tier star jade tablets to produce base emblems is a very soul-power-consuming thing.

Previously, when producing base emblems with Third-Tier star jade tablets, Xu Jin could produce seven or eight in a quarter of an hour.

But using Fifth-Tier star jade tablets to produce base emblems, even for Xu Jin, it takes more than a quarter and a half of an hour to succeed in one.

Engraving takes even longer.

It takes two to three quarters of an hour to successfully produce one Fifth-Tier emblem.

This is still the case after Xu Jin livered tens of thousands of times in the star lamp.

The consumption of soul power is very large.

Like Xu Jin, in a full soul power state, producing six Fifth-Tier emblems in one breath is the limit.

The consumption of soul power is very large.

Even Xu Jin, using the Sixth-Tier high-stage Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern to forcibly improve the tier to produce Fifth-Tier emblems, had only saved up eight of them.

Among them, six were Fifth-Tier low-grade, and only two were Fifth-Tier mid-grade.

The preciousness of Fifth-Tier emblems is evident.

At 1:30 PM, Xu Jin arrived at Danxia Palace on time and met Grand Master Cheng Yueshiao.

"Xu Jin, your Sumeru space has already been opened, right?" This was the Grand Master's first question after meeting.

Hearing this, Xu Jin smiled bitterly, "Grand Master, this little secret I'm trying to hide, why do I feel like everyone knows it?"

"Is there anyone else who knows?" Cheng Yueshiao was stunned, and a look of worry appeared in his eyes.

"University Rectifier Kou Jing also guessed it just now, so he gave me a few more Fifth-Tier emblems," Xu Jin said.

"You helped University Rectifier Kou break through that day, so it's natural for him to have some perception. However, including the Eighth-Tier low-stage Fire Lei Lei Yuanxing Pattern, I have used the Nine-Sheng Bell to impose a seal on him, and given Kou Jing's character, there will be no risk of leakage."

After saying this, Cheng Yueshiao added, "However, although you are trying your best to hide your light, you are a peerless genius rarely seen in a hundred years, like an awl in a bag; it is normal to be noticed and discovered, so you don't need to worry too much."

Saying this, Cheng Yueshiao paused, "However, your participation in the Battle of Building Tribute this time will inevitably attract a lot of attention again. But if you don't take action or participate in the battle, then you lose the significance of cultivating you.

Feel free to take action!

I will think about and solve the subsequent problems."

"Grand Master, don't worry, even with the hidden worries brought by the previous assassination, I don't have the idea of not daring to take action. At worst, I will shrink into the National Dao Academy and cultivate to the Fourth-Tier peak," Xu Jin said.

"Hmm, don't worry! If I, Cheng Yueshiao, can't even protect one disciple, then this Grand Master position is not worth holding."

After saying this, Cheng Yueshiao directly handed Xu Jin ten Fourth-Tier high-grade emblems. "Your team's first attack star domain this time is the Third-Tier Sand River Star Domain; after you complete the main goal, you can leave early, but when you leave early, you can give two Fourth-Tier emblems to other teammates, which can ensure their safety and also have more gains," Cheng Yueshiao said.

"I remember."

"Grand Master, I am going to leave for seven or eight days, so I want to add your Star-Plucking Token to my sister's, so that if there is an emergency, she can ask you for help," Xu Jin said.

Xu Jin had considered his own crisis before, and even more considered bringing his own crisis to his family, which is why he said this.

"Don't worry, your sister is also a key protection object; I will add her as a friend now."

Just as Cheng Yueshiao was speaking, General Manager Peng Lao, with white hair and beard, suddenly appeared and laughed, "Xu Jin, I still like that little girl, your sister. Why don't I take her as my granddaughter? When I'm free, I can talk to her.

I'm old, and I don't have any grandchildren, so it's just right."

Hearing this, Xu Jin was overjoyed.

With these words from General Manager Peng Lao, his sister Jiang Er's safety was guaranteed.

At 1:45 PM, Xu Jin arrived at the Star-Plucking Tower on time and met up with Especially Ji Hongli, Wang Jiugao, and others.

Upon seeing Xu Jin, the group surrounded him, and Especially Ji Hongli, in a red battle skirt, was extremely happy; if it weren't for others being present, she would have wanted to hug Xu Jin's arm.

Hugging Xu Jin's arm gave her a special sense of security.

"Are you all ready? Are the elixirs brought sufficiently?" Xu Jin asked with a smile.

"Brought enough. This time, there are no restrictions, I brought several bottles," Especially Ji Hongli tilted her head, looking at Xu Jin, her big eyes smiling.

"Hmm, old rules, you all understand."

While speaking, Xu Jin distributed the four Red Scale Heart Armors.

"Safety first, according to my requirements, gather first, then complete the combat mission."

While the group was chatting, time quickly reached 2:00 PM, and all nine teams of the National Dao Academy had arrived.

The true disciples of this session were all captains of Third-Tier teams.

The other four captains were Meng Qingqiu, Yuan Feiqing, Yan Chen, and Lü Kun.

The three captains of the Fourth-Tier teams, Xu Jin also saw them: Wang Rusong, Fang Ying, and Ye Anshi.

The captain of the Fifth-Tier team was only one, the former Jinshan Dao Academy Mountain Master and now Supervision Academy Vice Inspector Dong Zhao, and the team members were all Vice University Rectifiers, Teacher Liu Zhou Qingzhu, Tang Hui, Shen Wei, and Han Qing.

Without exception, their cultivation was all Fifth-Tier peak, which could be considered the super-luxury lineup of the Great Chen National Dao Academy.

"Let's go."

Suddenly, star light descended, and it was the Grand Master and Right Ritualist Song Bing who arrived, leading everyone straight to the second floor of the main building of the Great Chen Star-Plucking Tower.

The second floor, Xu Jin had been there once, and it was full of star gates.

When the Grand Master led everyone to arrive, Left Ritualist Meng Yanhui was already there; besides Left Ritualist Meng Yanhui, there was also a man in his thirties wearing a unique black formal dress.

According to Xu Jin's understanding, it was similar to that kind of very formal official uniform.

Just like the orthodox official uniform of Great Chen officials going to court, Xu Jin also had two sets, but except for some major occasions, he rarely wore them, and they were very uncomfortable to wear.

But this person wore them very naturally, looking as if it were daily attire.

Standing beside him was a palace-dressed girl with skin as white as snow who looked very cold.

When the Grand Master led the people to arrive, Left Ritualist Meng Yanhui had already come over to pay respects to the Grand Master, but the man in the black official clothes stood there proudly, motionless.

This scene made all the disciples of Great Chen frown one after another.

Grand Master Cheng Yueshiao, however, didn't care, and laughed as he stepped forward to greet him, "Cheng pays respects to Young Master Dai Si, pays respects to Little Princess, Cheng has failed to welcome you from afar, please forgive me!"

Subsequently, the Grand Master introduced everyone, "Everyone, this is the true disciple of the Sumeru Palace Master, Dai Guanwen, ranked fourth, known as Young Master Dai Si. This is the beloved daughter of the Sumeru Palace Master, and also the Little Princess of the Sumeru Palace, Princess Haoyue; come and pay respects quickly."

Since the Grand Master had spoken, everyone, whether they were Third-Tier or Fourth-Tier disciples, or Fifth-Tier University Rectifiers, paid respects in unison.

At this point, that Young Master Dai Si, who had been standing proudly and straight, smiled slightly, first paying respects to Grand Master Cheng Yueshiao, and then bowing to the others, which was considered a greeting.

To tell the truth, Xu Jin really didn't like this person's way of doing things.

But since the Grand Master was like this, then so be it; anyway, it was impossible to have any intersection in the future.

True disciple of the Sumeru Palace!

"Grand Master Cheng, time is urgent, I am the star gate opener, and also the supervisor of this Battle of Building Tribute. Please ask the Grand Master to hand over the Star-Plucking Tokens of all participants to the Star Spirit according to the regulations and imprint them.

Then provide me with the star domain coordinates; my preparation work is already complete, as long as the star domain coordinates are provided, I can open the relevant star domain star gate immediately, but it will only last for seven days, please remember this.

Within seven days, you must exit the same way.

Otherwise, the star gate will close, and even if I reopen the temporary star gate, the star gate position will be completely different from before, and I won't be able to notify everyone," Dai Guanwen said.

"Good, thank you, Young Master Dai Si."

Listening to this, Xu Jin felt as if a lightning bolt had struck his mind.

Star domain coordinates, temporary star gate!

These two keywords instantly became extremely bright.

At the same time, Xu Jin thought of Teacher Qi Shanye and Uncle Mo Ji.

Previously, the star domain coordinates of the Sixth-Tier star domain that Teacher and Uncle entered to escape, Xu Jin had already let Grand Master Cheng Yueshiao successfully produce.

That is to say, if Xu Jin could contact the successors of the Sumeru Palace and ask them to take action, he could open a temporary star gate leading to the Sixth-Tier star domain where Teacher and Uncle escaped to before.

Lasting for seven days!

Within seven days, is there a possibility of finding their traces, is there a possibility of rescuing Teacher and the others?

Yes!

It is completely possible!

Seven days is not enough, fourteen days is fine!

In an instant, Xu Jin found a way to rescue Teacher and Uncle and bring them out.

No longer like before, being blind and having to go to the Star River Battlefield to search.

Looking at the current situation, the feasibility is very high.

Of course, this path is also very difficult.

Looking at the way the Sumeru Palace people do things, Xu Jin knew that asking them to take action would be very difficult.

However, as long as there is a chance, Xu Jin will try every possible way to ask them to take action.

Of course, not now.

Now Xu Jin's cultivation is not enough.

After this actual combat, Xu Jin will clearly know what level his actual combat is at, and when his cultivation breaks through again, maybe he can start the great plan of rescuing Teacher and Uncle.

The next instant, according to the Grand Master's request, everyone took out their Star-Plucking Tokens.

With a call from the Grand Master, a group of agile star light appeared, and it was the Star Spirit who appeared at the Grand Master's call.

Suddenly, in Xu Jin's mind, the Star Spirit's voice rang out.
