Chapter 39

No more than three breaths after the one-halo Star-Replenishing Pill entered his abdomen, the medicinal power immediately turned into rolling star power and surged into Xu Jin's star pattern.

Xu Jin's exhausted star pattern was being rapidly filled.

Ten breaths later, Xu Jin's expression changed.

His star pattern had already been filled with star power, but the medicinal power of this one-halo Star-Replenishing Pill was still radiating.

The star pattern shouldn't be burst by being overfilled, right?

The next instant, Xu Jin darted out like a rabbit and practiced the Five-Battle Killing Fist at the fastest speed.

If the star pattern didn't burst, then Xu Jin would be the one to burst!

Each move was a basic star shield, used to consume the star power that was overflowing in the star pattern but still continuously pouring in.

After four consecutive basic star shields, the medicinal power of the one-halo Star-Replenishing Pill disappeared, and Xu Jin's Small Da Ju Xingwen was still full.

The test basically had a result.

Doubled.

The Star-Replenishing Pill after being nurtured had its effect doubled.

This improvement effect was simply top-notch.

In an instant, Xu Jin had many ideas.

If he bought a bottle of elixirs in the future, as long as he nurtured them for one day, wouldn't that be equivalent to buying two bottles?

A great tool for cultivation!

It was a pity that he could only nurture one pill a day.

But very quickly, Xu Jin reacted.

The greatest value of the Arena Platform nurturing elixirs was actually not this kind of ordinary elixir, but that kind of elixir with unique effects that was very rare.

The first thing Xu Jin thought of was the Mind-Calming Golden Core, which was the primary reward for engraving the Large Da Ju Xingwen.

He must take first place in the Large Da Ju Xingwen and then get this Mind-Calming Golden Core.

By then, even if he only nurtured one circle of star halo, Xu Jin would be equivalent to having taken two Mind-Calming Golden Cores.

Other people couldn't even eat one, but Xu Jin would be equivalent to eating two.

This function of the Arena Platform nurturing was simply super awesome.

Xu Jin's mind sank into the Arena Platform, looking at the Star-Replenishing Pill that was being nurtured under the star lamp of the Arena Platform, and a new question arose.

Could this nurturing also nurture other things?

Also, did this nurturing effect have an upper limit?

If so, what was its upper limit?

With six more Star-Replenishing Pills in his hand, Xu Jin decided to use the Star-Replenishing Pills as samples to study the problem well.

Once he studied it clearly, things would be easy to handle later.

The next instant, the sound of fist wind breaking through the air sounded again.

The star power in the star pattern was full; if he didn't use it to cultivate, was he going to keep it to breed?

After eight consecutive practices of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, Xu Jin originally wanted to end his cultivation, but suddenly discovered that the starlight on his left arm had already covered his wrist position.

In the two days since condensing the Small Da Ju Xingwen, Xu Jin's body tempering progress had advanced by leaps and bounds; not only had his own cultivation frequency doubled, but he also had a wisp of starlight replenished every day, and today he had taken two Star-Replenishing Pills, one of which had been nurtured.

Thinking of how Tian Zhang had actually called upon death row prisoners today to let them see blood and train them, Xu Jin realized the urgency of the situation.

He simply decided to go all the way and continue practicing.

He swallowed a Spirit-Awakening Pill, and a moment later, his star power recovered, and he continued the Five-Battle Killing Fist.

After eight practices of the Five-Battle Killing Fist, Xu Jin directly swallowed a Star-Replenishing Pill, practiced the Five-Battle Killing Fist five more times, and then swallowed another Star-Replenishing Pill.

When he practiced to the third time again, with a "whoosh" sound of breaking through the air, Xu Jin's fist directly blasted out a star arrow.

The star arrow dissipated after leaving his body for three meters.

Xu Jin looked closely and saw that the starlight had completely covered his left hand.

Meal of Mist, Third Layer, breakthrough!

Seeing this, Xu Jin excitedly waved his fist.

In less than three days, in two and a half days, he had broken through from Meal of Mist, Second Layer to Meal of Mist, Third Layer.

Next was to temper his legs.

If the tempering time for his legs was three times that of his arms, Xu Jin set another small goal for himself.

Ten days later, Meal of Mist, Fourth Layer.

Twenty days later, Meal of Mist, Fifth Layer.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin returned to his room; just as he sat down cross-legged, the door that had been closed opened out of thin air.

Xu Jin rolled his eyes; they were really punctual.

This person in green should be nearby, constantly observing every move Xu Jin made.

But what could he do?

Xu Jin knew this person in green was nearby, but he just couldn't find them.

Xu Jin had thought about reporting it secretly to Ning Yuchan.

Xu Jin believed that Ning Yuchan would definitely help him.

But for one thing, this person in green at least currently had no intention of harming Xu Jin, and more importantly, Xu Jin was worried that Ning Yuchan was not this person in green's opponent.

Whether Academy Head Dong Zhao was this person's opponent, Xu Jin was not clear.

But Academy Head Dong Zhao could not protect him every moment.

With this person in green's skill in hiding their tracks, the Academy's restrictions were like they were not set up at all; they could sneak in at any time to crush Xu Jin to death.

So Xu Jin planned to continue cooperating and see how things developed later.

"You kid are diligent enough in your cultivation; you're already at Meal of Mist, Third Layer, that's good enough." Qi Shanye's tone seemed to be teasing, but there was an indescribable meaning within it. "Can I afford not to be diligent? My father has already exhausted everything to help me; for the rest of the road, I can only rely on my own struggle," Xu Jin said.

"Don't you have me?"

Qi Shanye said, while offering a Spirit-Refreshing Pill to Xu Jin's mouth as if offering a treasure.

Xu Jin swallowed it without hesitation, "What do you count as to me? Your background is unknown, I don't even know if you're human or a ghost, I dare not rely on you randomly!"

Qi Shanye felt awkward.

His identity was indeed not suitable to be revealed now, but this kid in front of him was really something else.

He had just eaten his elixir and started scolding him.

It was thirty taels per pill, and he had even borrowed the silver for it.

Great unfilial!

"Focus your mind on the Upper Shang Xinggong and continue to engrave the Clarity Soul Star Pattern." Qi Shanye's voice sounded, and a gentle and soft soul power surged into Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong.

However, Xu Jin felt that the soul power Qi Shanye sent into Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong today was stronger than yesterday's.

To be precise, in these four days, the soul power Qi Shanye sent into Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong every day was stronger than the day before.

Xu Jin felt that the first day was like dripping water, the second day was like dripping water into a line, the third day was gathering lines into a stream, and the soul power surging into Xu Jin's Upper Shang Xinggong today felt somewhat like a trickling stream.

It was strengthening every day.

Counting it up, Qi Shanye had already come for four consecutive days; Xu Jin's comprehension was originally not bad, and Xu Jin had actually already remembered this Clarity Soul Star Pattern long ago.

But strangely, this Clarity Soul Star Pattern had no effect when Xu Jin tried to engrave it himself.

Xu Jin even tried to engrave it inside the star lamp, but let alone succeeding, it couldn't take shape at all.

It was very strange.

An hour later, Xu Jin's soul power was squeezed dry; Xu Jin originally thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Qi Shanye handed him another Spirit-Refreshing Pill.

"Didn't you say that taking them consecutively is ineffective?" Xu Jin asked.

"It's not that taking them consecutively is ineffective, but that the medicinal effect will drop exponentially if taken consecutively in a short period of time. This second pill, it's estimated that it only has half the effect of the first one; taking a third pill, it will have at most one-tenth the effect of the first one; a fourth pill, it will basically be ineffective," Qi Shanye said.

"Then you?"

"There's no time tomorrow; it must be allowed to initially take shape first, if it's interrupted, it will be a wasted effort," Qi Shanye said.

Xu Jin's heart stirred, and he suddenly asked tentatively, "Are you leaving?"

Qi Shanye saw through Xu Jin's little thoughts at a glance, "It's not that I don't have time, but that you don't have time."

Xu Jin was stunned; sure enough, this mysterious person in front of him knew something.

"Don't ask anymore, hurry up, continue to cultivate, you'll know tomorrow," Qi Shanye urged.

Xu Jin could only swallow the elixir.

Half an hour later, Xu Jin had a splitting headache.

The effect of this second Spirit-Refreshing Pill was indeed only half.

Taking them consecutively was still a bit extravagant.

"Alright, the Clarity Soul Star Pattern in your Upper Shang Xinggong has initially taken shape, but it's only a prototype; for the rest, you have to rely on yourself." After helping Xu Jin engrave the star pattern for an hour and a half, Qi Shanye sounded very exhausted.

"Remember, from tomorrow on, every twelve hours, you must find time to visualize your Upper Shang Xinggong for a quarter of an hour; if you have time, visualize your Upper Shang Xinggong for a quarter of an hour every six hours, that way the time for your Clarity Soul Star Pattern to be thoroughly completed will also be shortened," Qi Shanye instructed.

"How long does it need to last, or rather, when can this Clarity Soul Star Pattern be thoroughly completed?" Xu Jin asked.

"At least half a month, at most a month.

If it's done, it's done; you will discover it yourself.

In addition, the Clarity Soul Star Pattern has already initially taken shape in your Upper Shang Xinggong and already has a little bit of power; you will be able to have a feeling tomorrow," Qi Shanye said.

"What feeling?" Xu Jin pursued.

"You'll discover it yourself tomorrow morning."

Xu Jin felt helpless; this was really...

"Take this, use it for the next few days."

While speaking, Qi Shanye handed Xu Jin three bottles of elixirs; Xu Jin took them and looked—one bottle was an unknown powder, the second bottle was Star-Replenishing Pills, and the third bottle was Spirit-Refreshing Pills, all full bottles.

Xu Jin's eyes suddenly widened; this was a bit too generous, right?

Five hundred taels of silver just like that; he turned his head to look at Qi Shanye with some confusion.

Qi Shanye also took the initiative to dissipate the green light covering his face, revealing his true appearance.

A slightly long square face, long eyebrows like sticks, quite dark, a face full of hard stubble, and in the face of vicissitudes, it revealed a bit of sharpness.

"That powder is top-quality gold-wound medicine; before forging stars, the effect on both internal and external injuries is quite good. As for the other two types, use them as you see fit, don't save them; these things are meant to be eaten," Qi Shanye instructed.

Xu Jin looked surprised, feeling a bit unable to turn his head for a moment.

He had always thought that Qi Shanye might be some big demon or something, but now he was suddenly a bit good to him, feeling...

"Why are you suddenly giving me so many elixirs?" Xu Jin asked.

*Slap! *

A big slap on the head came, making Xu Jin's head buzz, "Take it if I give it to you, where do you get so much nonsense? Don't you know that you shouldn't refuse a gift from an elder?"

Xu Jin really wanted to say that you are not an elder, but after thinking about the slap that just made him buzz, he decided to forget it.

"Keep these four Star Emblems as well. This brighter one is for attack, named Dawn Emblem; when you encounter an invincible strong enemy, input star power and throw it at the target.

These two darker ones are named Concealment Emblems; when you need to hide, find a suitable place to hide and activate them, and within a quarter of an hour, the enemy won't be able to find you. The effect is slightly worse during the day, and the effect is excellent at night."

Xu Jin's eyes widened again.

Emblems?

What kind of thing is this?

Also, why was this mysterious person suddenly so good to him?

He wasn't used to it at all.
