Chapter 466

Xu Jin's original intention in rushing back to the present world was to take advantage of the battle to ambush the experts of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall.

With his current strength, using the special power he had accumulated, even if he couldn't deal with Lord Lord Tianyang, ordinary Eighth-Tier powerhouses would easily be heavily injured if he messed with them.

But what Xu Jin didn't expect was that after returning to the present world, outside Dachen's Dachen Wan Yi, the weather was clear and bright, and there was no movement at all.

Outside Dachen Wan Yi, there were no Eighth-Tier auras.

"Xu Jin, the lair of the Blood God Sect in Meizhou of Emperor Da Hong that you blew up this time, and the internal problems of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall that you brought out, might be much more serious than we imagined. The news I just received is that the entire family of the Meizhou Branch Master has disappeared, and all twenty-plus servants in the mansion have died.

Lord Lord Tianyang has already personally arrived at the Meizhou Branch to investigate thoroughly.

This might be our opportunity."

When Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said this to Xu Jin, joy flickered in his eyes.

He then sighed lightly, "It's a pity that our rise time is still not enough. If our foundation were a bit stronger and our strength a bit greater, taking advantage of this internal turmoil in the Lord Tianyang Star Hall, and using the excuse of Lord Lord Tianyang assassinating Emperor Gan'an, after the national funeral, we could have driven the power of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall out of Dachen in one fell swoop.

At that time, with the excuse of regicide, even the Cangming Star Hall wouldn't feel disgusted."

Xu Jin's heart moved.

Indeed.

The Cangming Star Hall and the Lord Tianyang Star Hall had been stationed in the prefectures and counties of Dachen for twenty years.

Now wanting to drive them out was extremely difficult.

Because once they took action to clear out either side, it would inevitably attract the vigilance of the other side.

Clearing out the power of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall would inevitably attract the vigilance of the Cangming Star Hall, and then the Lord Tianyang Star Hall and the Cangming Star Hall would definitely join forces to counterattack.

Under the counterattack of the two major star halls, Dachen absolutely couldn't bear it.

But with the excuse of regicide.

This was a national hatred!

Dachen's reason was incomparably sufficient, and the Cangming Star Hall could also understand it.

Now, coupled with the internal turmoil of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall.

This situation was completely different.

It could be said that they had both the right time and the right place.

If they acted after the national funeral, they would also have the support of the people.

It was indeed the best time to clear out the power of the Lord Tianyang Star Hall stationed in the prefectures and counties of Dachen.

"Grand Master, when is the national funeral?" Xu Jin's heart moved, and he asked hurriedly.

"According to the rites of my present world, when an emperor dies, he must be mourned for 180 days before the national funeral rites are held for burial; for a prince, it is three months.

Below a prince, everything is simplified, and burial is within the month," Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

"October 27th?" Xu Jin asked.

"The time set by the new emperor is October 28th. Preparations have already begun, and the mausoleum is almost finished. Moreover, because of the national funeral, this year's autumn examination of the National Dao Academy has also been postponed," Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

Mentioning the autumn examination of the National Dao Academy, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao suddenly remembered one thing and said hurriedly, "Xu Jin, your return and identity have been initially arranged for you.

Because the autumn examination is postponed.

So, I first arranged a position of Vice Academic Official for you, and your study hall has also been prepared for you; you can name it when the time comes.

After a period of time, I will let you concurrently serve as Vice Supervisor.

After serving for a year as a transition, you can be directly promoted to the position of University Official next year.

As for the supplementary conferment of titles, it will have to wait until after the national funeral," Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

"Vice Academic Official? Doesn't that mean I have to bring apprentices? Why do I feel it's a bit troublesome?" Xu Jin laughed.

"Troublesome?"

Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao shook his head. "This is necessary! The relationships in this world, besides blood relatives, the most solid is the master-apprentice relationship.

In the future, when you take charge of power and act, you will need many confidants and many trustworthy candidates.

And this step of serving as Vice Academic Official and University Official is the most critical point for you to cultivate your confidants.

Even if you only show your face a few times a year to give guidance, it's fine.

But the imprint of this master-apprentice relationship is almost impossible to eliminate.

Do you understand?"

Since the Grand Master said so, it was indeed the case.

Xu Jin didn't have many usable people under his command, which was exactly the case.

And cultivating apprentices indeed didn't require guidance on everything.

In many study halls, guidance was provided by the Senior Brother, and the master only appeared occasionally.

"Fine, Grand Master, just arrange it. However, Grand Master, regarding the matter you just mentioned, should we try it?" Xu Jin suddenly laughed.

Having persuaded Xu Jin to accept the position of Vice Academic Official, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was happy, but suddenly he was confused by Xu Jin's jumping thinking. "Try what?"

"What you just said, improving strength."

"Mine?" Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao pointed at himself with his finger, his face full of surprise.

Xu Jin nodded heavily.

"You have a method?"

Xu Jin nodded again.

"Then let's try."

A trace of strange color appeared in Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's eyes.

In fact, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was not stupid.

Xu Jin's performance over the past year or so could be called dreamlike, and his strength could also be called a miracle.

If he still couldn't react, then he would be stupid.

Xu Jin definitely had secrets.

This secret was definitely not small.

Although Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had always been very curious about what kind of secret Xu Jin possessed that would make his strength improve so quickly.

But he never went to investigate.

Who doesn't have a few secrets?

Anyway, the secret is at home, and the meat is rotten in the pot.

Seeing the Grand Master agree, Xu Jin looked behind the Danxia Hall. "What about Elder Peng, together?"

"Elder Peng is in the Star-Plucking Tower."

"That's just right."

The next instant, as starlight flickered, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao and Xu Jin had already appeared in the Star Dome Secret Realm on the top floor of Dachen's Star-Plucking Tower.

After a brief exchange, Elder Peng's gaze toward Xu Jin also revealed a strange color.

"Grand Master, Elder Peng, for now, I want to know exactly what your two's Yuanling cultivation is." After sitting down, Xu Jin opened his mouth for the first time.

Hearing this, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao and Elder Peng looked at each other, their minds moved at the same time, and the next instant, their Yuanlings appeared above their heads, and under full activation, the Yuanling fetal light radiated in a straight line.

Xu Jin couldn't help but be moved.

Directly activating the Yuanling and presenting it before Xu Jin without any defense, among cultivators, this was another kind of frankness.

It also represented the absolute trust these two had in Xu Jin.

Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's Yuanling fetal light radiation distance was six point six meters.

This distance was not far, but the improvement was quite large.

Grand Master cast his Yuanling at the end of October last year with Xu Jin's help, the initial Yuanling fetal light distance was one point five meters, and now, after a full year, it reached five point six meters, the improvement was still quite astonishing.

Normally, most Eighth-Tier powerhouses could improve their Yuanling fetal light distance by one meter in a year, which was considered not bad.

Elder Peng cast his Yuanling slightly later than the Grand Master, the initial distance of the Yuanling fetal light was only one point two meters, but now, it also had a straight radiation distance of three point eight meters.

It was also far higher than the normal level.

Seeing Xu Jin's surprised appearance, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao laughed, "Are you quite surprised by our Yuanling cultivation improvement speed?"

"Actually, this is also thanks to your help!

Last year, the number of Second-Tier, Third-Tier, and Fourth-Tier star domains completely controlled by my Dachen increased by thirty, and even the number of Fifth-Tier star domains completely controlled increased by three, and all kinds of treasures increased explosively.

Although the probability of obtaining divine soul-type spiritual herbs is quite low, with a large base, there are still quite a few, especially Fourth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs.

Elder Peng and I prioritized taking quite a few, so our divine soul cultivation improved quite a bit.

By the way, we also left ten for you, but there was never a chance to give them to you."

With a wave of his hand, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao took out ten Fourth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs and placed them in front of Xu Jin, and then said, "Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs, only two were obtained, but they were all bestowed to allow some Seventh-Tier powerhouses to cast their Yuanlings, so there are none for now, but there should be more next year."

Seeing this, Xu Jin also laughed.

This is change!

The improvement of Dachen's national strength.

Given time, Dachen's national strength will definitely leap.

But Xu Jin still felt it wasn't enough and wanted to pull it up directly.

"Grand Master, you two, try these two Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs."

Xu Jin smiled and took out two nurtured spiritual herbs. Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao took them, but said, "This could allow two Seventh-Tier powerhouses to cast their Yuanlings... 'Grand Master, now, your strength improving again is the most important thing,'" Xu Jin persuaded.

At this moment, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao and Elder Peng no longer hesitated and each took one of the Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs Xu Jin gave them to refine and absorb.

The moment the spiritual herbs entered their mouths, their expressions were both shocked.

But at this time, it was not the time to be shocked; they still needed to concentrate on refining and absorbing, and could not waste the medicinal power.

Xu Jin himself also began to strengthen his star patterns.

After breaking through to the Sixth-Tier Cloud Tower, every time he broke through a layer and added a layer of cloud tower, he needed a strengthened star pattern.

Since Xu Jin wanted to build more Eight-Corner Star Towers, naturally he had to strengthen more star patterns to the Eighth Layer.

The speed at which the two refined and absorbed was slightly slower than when Xu Jin absorbed and refined.

Three hours later, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao finished refining first, and the moment he opened his eyes, his expression became inexplicably surprised.

"This Fifth-Tier spiritual herb, why is the medicinal effect so strong? It's almost more than double the medicinal effect of a Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herb I have taken before."

While speaking, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao had already activated his Yuanling again, condensing the Yuanling fetal light into a line, and activating it to the extreme.

The Yuanling fetal light distance surged by two point three meters, reaching eight point nine meters.

This improvement range made Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao even more surprised.

After a few breaths, Elder Peng also finished refining.

The Yuanling fetal light straight radiation distance directly improved to six point two meters.

"This spiritual herb, the medicinal effect is extraordinary; one plant directly equals two and a half years of my hard cultivation!" Elder Peng said in surprise.

Xu Jin laughed, and took out two Three-Essence Dragon Turtle Forging Soul Pills and handed them to the two. "Grand Master, Elder Peng, you try this again."

The two took them in surprise and swallowed them at the same time.

More than half an hour later, Elder Peng didn't have much reaction, but Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao was already shocked. "This elixir, who refined it? The medicinal effect is actually six times that of an ordinary Dragon Turtle Forging Soul Pill; one pill equals nearly a month of my hard cultivation.

This alchemist is absolutely a priceless national treasure."

Xu Jin laughed, took out six bottles of Three-Essence Dragon Turtle Forging Soul Pills, and handed them to the two. "Grand Master, such an elixir cannot be refined by anyone, but it is a secret treasure left by the inheritance of True Lord Qisha, only the output is limited every month.

And it needs Dragon Turtle Forging Soul Pills as raw materials. If the Grand Master has many, you can give them to me, and I can help you improve the elixir effect."

Once these words were spoken, the Grand Master and Elder Peng looked at each other and took out a large pile of elixirs at the same time.

The Grand Master took out five bottles, and Elder Peng took out three bottles, all of which were ordinary Dragon Turtle Forging Soul Pills, and all handed them to Xu Jin.

"That's all I have on me. When the Elixir Hall sends them over, I'll give them to you," said Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao, who had figured it out.

"It doesn't need to be too many. This inheritance secret treasure has a very limited output; one month, there are only two or three bottles of output," Xu Jin laughed.

"Even if there are only two or three bottles, this is a priceless treasure."

After speaking, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said to Xu Jin, "Come, apply a divine soul seal on the two of us. Such secret matters must not be leaked in the slightest."

"Don't be in a hurry, there is more later, let's do it together at the end," Xu Jin laughed.

"There is more?"

Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao and Elder Peng looked at each other in astonishment.

Xu Jin subsequently handed the last three Fifth-Tier divine soul-type spiritual herbs he had nurtured to the Grand Master and Elder Peng. "These are the last three in my hands. If the Grand Master uses two, plus those elixirs, your Yuanling cultivation should be able to break through to the Yuanling Mid-Stage.

If Elder Peng uses one plus those elixirs, your Yuanling cultivation can also be greatly improved."

"This..."

Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao pushed these three divine soul spiritual herbs back. "We can't have these anymore; you keep them for yourself, your strength improvement is also very important."

Xu Jin pushed these spiritual herbs back again. "Grand Master, I have already taken quite a few; taking two more won't improve me much, but for you, the improvement range is very large.

In the future, if there are Fifth-Tier divine soul spiritual herbs, give them to me, and I will process them."

Since it had been said to this point, the two no longer declined and directly accepted them, to refine and absorb them in a few days.

"The harvest of spending half a day with you little guy can equal seven or eight years of my hard cultivation. After these treasures are refined and absorbed, and after all those star patterns are comprehended, in the future, even if the Grand Master is not in Dachen Wan Yi, I will be able to sit in town independently," Elder Peng sighed.

"Indeed, these few spiritual herbs equal at least ten years of my hard cultivation!

The most critical thing is that my divine soul cultivation has improved greatly now, so the probability of me breaking through to the Ninth Tier is even greater," Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao also sighed.

"Don't be in a hurry, this is just an appetizer," Xu Jin laughed.

Xu Jin's words made these two surprised again.

"Appetizer? What else is there?" Elder Peng asked in surprise.

"I obtained an inheritance secret treasure in the Qisha Secret Realm. Under its reflection, it can greatly improve the effect of comprehending star patterns. I tried it before, and the effect is not bad. Now, I want you to try it too."

Using the secret treasure obtained from the Qisha inheritance as an excuse to share the benefits of the Arena Lamp Domain of the Arena Platform with the Grand Master and others.

This was the safest and most secure way Xu Jin thought of.

Of course, it was not just because of this excuse.

Xu Jin chose to share the benefits of the Arena Lamp Domain now, more importantly, because of the improvement in strength.

Xu Jin already had the initial strength to protect himself.

As long as he was not deliberately arranged to be ambushed, Xu Jin had the power to protect himself in front of any Eighth-Tier powerhouse.

To put it bluntly, even if the Grand Master was greedy for wealth at this time, Xu Jin had the power to protect himself, at least he could escape alive.

And next, Xu Jin's strength would also improve greatly.

So Xu Jin shared part of the benefits of the Arena Platform at the right time.

To improve the strength of Dachen and his friends.

The inheritance of True Lord Qisha was just a perfect excuse.

The real reason was that Xu Jin already had the strength to protect himself.

"Is it also useful when comprehending Eighth-Tier star patterns?" Elder Peng asked in surprise.

"It is useful."

"That's too great! My speed of comprehending Eighth-Tier star patterns is too slow! In a month, I might not be able to comprehend one layer. You gave us many Eighth-Tier star patterns, but they couldn't be quickly converted into strength," Elder Peng laughed.

"If so, that's truly great! Compared to the enlightenment time of the Star Dome Secret Realm, how is it?" Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao asked.

"About the same! The key is, there are no restrictions on time."

"Is this true?"

Xu Jin's words directly shocked Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao.

Even if the Grand Master possessed the Silver-Tier authority of the Star-Plucking Tower, the enlightenment time of the Star Dome Secret Realm of the Star-Plucking Tower obtained each month was only four hours.

The effect was quite good!

But it was too little!

Sometimes he had to share a part with others.

It was not enough to use at all.

If there was a similar effect, and the time was not restricted, then...

Suddenly, Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's expression became hesitant and wavering.

Xu Jin just took one look and guessed Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's meaning, and then took the initiative to say, "Grand Master, my idea is that this Qisha True Domain of mine can accommodate many people at once. Why don't we call a few more reliable people to come over and comprehend star patterns together?

Although this Qisha True Domain has no time limit, my time is still very limited."

Once these words were spoken, a look of joy appeared on Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao's face.

He could see that Xu Jin had seen through his thoughts and directly proposed it.

He was embarrassed to say it just now.

Having taken so many benefits from Xu Jin, he enjoyed them himself, and still wanted to call others.

Was it a bit too much?

Taking and eating!

Xu Jin, however, took the initiative to propose this matter, which made Cheng Cheng Yuexiao feel emotional.

With such an apprentice, what more could one ask for?

If it weren't for the fact that Xu Jin was not keen on secular power, but was instead pushing it away, he would have really wanted to completely determine Xu Jin's position as successor within half a year.

Someone unconvinced?

Beat them until they are convinced!

If they say they are unconvinced, can't you beat them until they are convinced!

It's a pity that Xu Jin himself is not willing.

He can only arrange a relatively gentle path.

For example, first serve as Vice Academic Official to recruit apprentices, cultivate a foundation for Xu Jin, then serve as University Official to increase Xu Jin's popularity, then go to the Star River Battlefield to take charge of an army for a few years, and upon returning, as long as Xu Jin is willing, he can take over as Grand Master at any time.

He, on the other hand, can be carefree among the mountains and rivers.

"Of course! However, for the candidates, you should arrange them, which can also be considered as cultivating your foundation!" Grand Master Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

Hearing this, Xu Jin nodded. "Grand Master, this Qisha True Domain of mine cannot accommodate too many people! Let's do this: Mountain Chief Dong Zhao counts as one, my teacher Liu Zhou Qingzhu counts as one, and Elder Ji Bang also counts as one.

There is one more spot, you arrange it.

But there is one point the Grand Master must tell them: anyone who enters must accept a divine soul seal," Xu Jin said.

Actually, the people Xu Jin most wanted to invite over were his teacher Kou Jing, the former University Official Kou, and Ning Ning Yuchan.

It's a pity that these two are now on the Star River Battlefield and cannot come over for a while.

"This is no problem! Then I will contact people immediately. If we add one more person, then let Left Libationer Meng Meng Yanhui come over; he is busy with secular affairs, and his strength improvement is slow, this is just a chance," Cheng Cheng Yuexiao said.

"No problem, Grand Master, you call people, and after a quarter of an hour, we will start," Xu Jin said.
