Chapter 312: Not Seeking Wealth

In the camp of the 5th Guard of the Chen Guo Uncle Xuan Hu Army, many soldiers were looking toward the direction of the Second Division's garrison.

In the garrison of the 5th Guard's Second Division, nearly a thousand soldiers surrounded a courtyard, lingering for a long time.

This was the camp of Deputy Commandant Ning Yuchan, who had just returned. Two female personal guards with different degrees of injury stood guard in front of the camp. Before long, two other female personal guards walked out of the camp, carrying bloody water and shredded, blood-soaked clothes.

Zhang Fang, the Guard General of the 5th Guard, who had been waiting for a long time, hurried up to meet them. The personal guard captain Yuan Jing also said anxiously, "General, Deputy Commandant Ning's injuries are serious. The star power of a Tier 6 alien is entrenched in her body. This subordinate has already used three Tier 1 Star Healing emblems, but it can only maintain her, not improve her condition."

"Please, General, use a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem to save Deputy Commandant Ning's life!"

Guard General Zhang Fang rubbed his hands helplessly. "I want to use one, but there are no Tier 2 Star Healing emblems left! I have already submitted a report, and the higher-ups say they are currently mobilizing them!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Yuchan's personal guard captain Yuan Jing was both anxious and angry. "General, if our Deputy Commandant Ning hadn't blocked the Tier 6 alien, more than half of the soldiers in the 5th Guard's Second Division would have died in battle! How can you not urgently requisition a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem?"

"The commander's camp says that during the Nine-Star Tide, material consumption is huge, and they are temporarily requisitioning, but it takes time!" General Zhang Fang said.

"But if Deputy Commandant Ning doesn't have a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem, the Tier 6 alien's strange power will continuously worsen her injuries in her body, and she won't last long! Or, please ask a Tier 7..." She stopped halfway; personal guard captain Yuan Jing stopped speaking silently.

A Tier 7 powerhouse might be able to save the Deputy Commandant, but Tier 7 powerhouses are rare and hold distinguished status, especially during wartime.

Even a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem couldn't be requisitioned, let alone a Tier 7 powerhouse.

While speaking, another weak voice sounded. "General, there should be spare Tier 2 Star Healing emblems in the commander's camp; how could they be exhausted! General, why don't you make a trip to the commander's camp yourself?"

The one speaking was Cui Chongguang, the Commandant of the 5th Guard's Second Division.

In this battle, when they were garrisoning the Star River Passage, they unexpectedly encountered a Tier 6 powerhouse. He, a Tier 5 late-stage Commandant, was seriously injured in less than three breaths.

He thought he was dead for sure, but he didn't expect Ning Yuchan to step up and hold off that Tier 6 alien, buying them time.

In the end, they used the military formation to focus fire and repel that Tier 6 alien, successfully completing the mission, but Ning Yuchan was seriously injured as a result.

Her body was entrenched with a kind of extremely difficult dark green star power, which was continuously destroying her. They had used up all the Tier 1 Star Healing emblems in their hands, but it didn't work.

"But the commander's camp says they are exhausted..."

Before he could finish, Zhang Fang noticed that the soldiers of the Second Division were looking at him differently. He immediately changed his tone. "Fine, I will make a trip myself! A round trip will take about a day."

"I have three Tier 1 Star Healing emblems here. You keep them hanging on for Deputy Commandant Ning; you must make sure she holds on."

After speaking, Guard General Zhang Fang left, taking his personal guards and hurrying away from the garrison, flying toward the commander's camp of the Chen Guo Uncle Xuan Hu Army, Yangdu Battle City.

When he left, Zhang Fang wiped cold sweat from his forehead.

Ning Yuchan had only been in the 5th Guard's Second Division for a few months, yet she had gained such high popularity.

He could see it now: if he didn't make this trip, and Ning Yuchan died because of it, these soldiers of the Second Division would hate him.

It would even affect the military morale of the entire 5th Guard and cause his prestige to plummet.

So, regardless of whether it was useful, he had to make this trip.

After flying out of the camp, Zhang Fang sent a star-light message to the Left Sima of the commander's camp, urging the requisition of a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem.

Ning Yuchan's serious injury not only caused a huge uproar in the military camp but also stirred up waves throughout Xingyang Battle City.

The reason is simple: two rogue mercenary squads were buying Tier 2 Star Healing emblems at a high price!

"Brothers, we are buying Tier 2 Star Healing emblems at a high price. As long as you have one, just name your price; we will buy it even if we have to go bankrupt! Or, if any brothers have channels for this, you can also help contact us. If we can purchase one, there will definitely be a heavy reward!"

Several Tier 4 rogue cultivators were shouting in the most prosperous area of Xingyang Battle City. The leader was a Tier 5, Eighth Layer rogue cultivator named Li Zhen, the captain of the Green Forest mercenary squad.

There was another captain of the Sword Hero mercenary squad named Hou Yunzhang, who was shouting in the city while injured, still offering heavy gold to buy Tier 2 Star Healing emblems!

These two mercenary squads were both mercenary squads frequently hired by the 5th Guard's Second Division.

At this moment, they were all shouting.

Because of this, Zhong Wei learned the news and notified Xu Jin.

As for why Zhong Wei notified Xu Jin, the reason is simple: in the past ten days or so, Xu Jin had used Wen Meng to guide Zhong Wei several times.

Through dreams, Xu Jin injected two pieces of information into Zhong Wei.

The first is that Qi Qi Tian Sheng is quite curious about Ning Yuchan and pays close attention to her condition, entrusting Zhong Wei to keep an eye on it.

The second is that when Zhong Wei returned to the current world before, he was entrusted by someone to bring home letters and some clothing and sundries to Ning Yuchan.

Xu Jin had arranged these two things early on, intending to transfer the cultivation materials he prepared for Ning Yuchan to help her improve her strength.

As for him, he still had to lay low for a while before he could find an opportunity to reveal the news to Ning Yuchan.

But he didn't expect that the first piece of news he brought back was that Ning Yuchan was seriously injured.

And according to current intelligence, although Ning Yuchan had returned, she hadn't been saved yet.

Otherwise, these two mercenary squads wouldn't be offering heavy gold to buy Tier 2 Star Healing emblems.

This made Xu Jin feel a bit strange. Tier 2 Star Healing emblems, although extremely important strategic materials, are extremely rare on the market, but they should be available in the military camp.

How could there be none?

But then again, during the Nine-Star Tide, material shortages seem to make sense.

But now, saving people comes first.

When Xu Jin killed the super-powerful Flower Queen in the Flower Star Domain, the Tier 4 high-grade Wood Spirit Star Core he obtained contained Tier 2 Star Healing, which Xu Jin himself could perform.

After thinking about it, Xu Jin decided to sneak in and save her first.

Regardless, save Ning Yuchan first.

Sneaking into the military camp while invisible is not difficult.

But after sneaking in and finding Ning Yuchan's camp, Xu Jin was stunned.

There were too many soldiers and generals surrounding it.

Although there were only two female personal guards on duty at the door, there were hundreds of soldiers surrounding the camp waiting for news.

And if Xu Jin wants to treat Ning Yuchan, he must enter the camp and make contact with her.

To enter, he could only use Wen Meng to hypnotize those two female personal guards and then sneak in.

But in full view of everyone, if these two female personal guards fell asleep, they would be discovered immediately.

He couldn't sneak in; this was truly troublesome.

The Mingji Star Pattern could sense Ning Yuchan's aura from afar; it was indeed very weak and continuously weakening.

Xu Jin's brows locked instantly.

This made it hard to save her.

Does he really have to impersonate an expert and save her with a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem?

But performing Tier 2 Star Healing in public might lead to a series of unpredictable troubles. Suddenly, Xu Jin remembered that when he was fighting in the Tier 5 Spirit Martial Star Domain, he had killed Zhang Yucheng, an expert secretly sent by the Tianyang Star Palace, and captured a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem.

Xu Jin decided immediately!

Sell the Tier 2 Star Healing emblem!

At worst, he would be targeted by some people with ulterior motives, but that might not necessarily be a bad thing.

Because no matter where you are, someone who carries a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem with them doesn't have a simple identity.

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin took the initiative to find Hou Yunzhang, the captain of the Sword Hero mercenary squad.

"What? Brother, you have a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem! This is great, this is great, you've truly saved a life. Let me see the goods, you name the price!" Hou Yunzhang was an extremely tall middle-aged man, a head taller than Xu Jin, with a heavy sword like a door panel on his back. As soon as he heard Xu Jin's words, his fan-like hands gripped Xu Jin.

In an instant, Xu Jin felt a sense of being restrained, his hand bones aching from the grip, and he could only use star power to support them.

"Born with divine strength!" This was Xu Jin's first reaction.

Xu Jin exerted his star power and struggled to pull his hand out of Hou Yunzhang's grip. Only then did Hou Yunzhang react and apologize repeatedly.

Xu Jin smiled and took out the Tier 2 Star Healing emblem he had captured.

Hou Yunzhang glanced at it and said, "This piece is a Tier 4 mid-grade Tier 2 Star Healing emblem, considered entry-level. Brother, you name the price!"

Hou Yunzhang was already prepared to be ruthlessly slaughtered; an entry-level Tier 2 Star Healing emblem is still a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem.

"You give me the market price."

"Market price, really?" Hou Yunzhang said pleasantly surprised.

"Really, I know you are doing this to save such an extraordinary woman as Deputy Commandant Ning; otherwise, I wouldn't have taken it out."

Hearing this, Hou Yunzhang rubbed his hands. "Brother, at market price, the selling price of a Star Healing emblem must be added to the price of a major tier, and then doubled."

"The price of a Tier 5 mid-grade emblem is usually 1,500 to 2,000 wisps of Starlight, then doubled."

"4,000 wisps of Starlight, what do you think!"

"Can do!"

Xu Jin was also a bit surprised by this price.

A very ordinary Tier 2 Star Healing emblem could actually sell for 4,000 wisps of Starlight.

It seems that no matter where you are, things that can save lives are always the most expensive!

"Wait!"

Just as the two were about to trade, a Tier 5, Ninth Layer peak rogue cultivator suddenly came to the two. "Brother, I'll buy this Tier 4 mid-grade Star Healing emblem for 5,000 wisps of Starlight!"

In an instant, Hou Yunzhang's face flushed red, and he said angrily, "Zheng Guan, we are doing this to save a life; you don't need to snatch it at this time, right!"

"I'm buying it to save a life too! What, only you are allowed to save, and I'm not allowed to?" Zheng Guan smiled. "Besides, I'm buying it with real money; who can stop me?"

"Brother, 5,000 wisps of Starlight, after tax, deal now!" Zheng Guan looked at Xu Jin.

"I'll pay 5,000 too!" Hou Yunzhang gritted his teeth.

"I'll pay 6,000!"

Zheng Guan raised the price again and said, "Brother, I see you haven't joined a guild yet, right? How about this: sell this Tier 2 Star Healing emblem to me, and I'll throw in a spot to join the Seven Kill Hall!"

"Our Seven Kill Hall is the largest guild on the Star River Battlefield, and it's a guild with a battle city!"

"Think about it carefully."

"I'll pay 7,000!"

Hou Yunzhang gritted his teeth and reported a high price. While reporting, he told his comrades on the side, "Go get people, say it's an emergency, borrow 2,000 Starlight from me; I'll pay it back in two months."

Hearing this, Zheng Guan laughed. "Brother, the strength is clear. I don't need to tell you who to trade with and who to be friends with, right!"

While speaking, Zheng Guan had confidently taken out his Star-Plucking Token, ready to trade with Xu Jin.

Xu Jin shook his head with a smile. "Sorry, my intention in taking out this life-saving emblem was to save Heroine Ning!"

"Not seeking wealth!"

"And even less seeking a guild spot!"

After speaking, in Zheng Guan's stunned eyes, Xu Jin smiled at Hou Yunzhang. "Brother Hou, 4,000 wisps of Starlight, are you still buying?"

"Buy, buy, buy!" Hou Yunzhang was overjoyed and immediately took out his Star-Plucking Token, ready to trade.

Suddenly, Zheng Guan's slightly sinister voice sounded. "Brother, are you playing with me? You wouldn't sell for 6,000, but you'll sell to him for 4,000?"

"It's my stuff; I'll sell it to whoever I want!"

While speaking, Xu Jin directly slapped the Tier 2 Star Healing emblem into Hou Yunzhang's hand. Hou Yunzhang also very readily transferred 4,000 wisps of Starlight, but his actual payment was 5,000 wisps of Starlight.

Because he still had to pay tax to the Star-Plucking Tower!

The transaction price is after tax!

"Brother, you're a man! If you don't have a squad, or want to join one, feel free to come to me. Our Sword Hero squad absolutely welcomes you!"

"If there's a chance, definitely! Go save her quickly." Xu Jin arched his hands with a smile.

Hou Yunzhang left quickly, while Zheng Guan stared at Xu Jin and snorted coldly before leaving quickly.

Xu Jin didn't care, but Zhong Wei, who was with Xu Jin, shrank his neck. "Brother, if you leave the city in the future and meet this Zheng Guan, keep an eye out."

Xu Jin nodded, but Zhong Wei began to look at Xu Jin with a different gaze. "I say, Brother Qi Tian Sheng, your background is not simple! You actually carry a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem with you! Don't say Tier 5 rogue cultivators, even Tier 6 rogue cultivators or Tier 6 military officers might not carry a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem with them! Tell me honestly, which great family's descendant are you?"

"Or which country's prince is hiding your identity to train?" Zhong Wei said these few sentences extremely loudly, so loud that many people around, including Zheng Guan who had just left, heard it, and many people looked over.

Even Zheng Guan, who was about to leave, looked back at Xu Jin, thoughtful.

Xu Jin reacted afterward.

This was Zhong Wei protecting him, building momentum for him.

Borrowing a Tier 2 Star Healing emblem to raise his status, making Zheng Guan wary and afraid to mess with Xu Jin easily.

This friend is not bad; he's quite caring.

But Xu Jin was a bit unauthentic.

Because he used Wen Meng on him.

Even being so good to Xu Jin, there was a reason for Wen Meng!

A quarter of an hour later, Xu Jin made an excuse to return, parted ways with Zhong Wei, and returned to the courtyard.

After returning to the courtyard, Xu Jin once again went invisible and rushed toward the garrison of the 5th Guard of the Uncle Xuan Hu Army, sneaking in easily and finding Ning Yuchan's camp.

Just as he arrived, he saw the female personal guard and Hou Yunzhang walking out of the camp with helpless expressions.

This made Xu Jin's expression change.

Could it be that the Tier 2 Star Healing emblem was also useless?

This made Xu Jin's expression change.
