Chapter 493: Ying Ge's Gift

Some things, if there is an opportunity to do them, must be done.

Therefore, Xu Jin brought Ning Yuchan as Deputy Envoy for this diplomatic mission.

On December 3rd, the diplomatic star boat landed at the Chen Guo National Dao Academy. The accompanying guard military marquis, the etiquette officials sent by the Ministry of Rites, including one thousand elite Star Patrol Guards, Ministry of Rites historians, and service personnel, were all in place.

When Xu Jin boarded the boat with his entourage, the diplomatic etiquette official Zhu Xizhou almost popped his eyes out.

If it weren't for the Grand Master's prior instructions, he would have jumped up and started cursing by now.

A diplomatic mission represents the national image.

The Chief Envoy is one thing.

The Deputy Envoy is actually a cripple with a crutch!

Going like this is just delivering yourself to Great Hong to be ridiculed!

It's the typical kind of delivering laughter to someone's mouth.

Is there no one in Chen Guo?

It's one thing for the Deputy Envoy to be a cripple, but the attendant brought by Chief Envoy Xu Jin is actually the famous Flying Sword Hero Ying Ge.

"Flying Sword Hero" is the title Ying Ge made for himself over the past half year.

Of course, etiquette official Zhu Xizhou also admired this young man who was physically disabled but had a strong will.

With his body more than half disabled, he still practiced hard without stopping, training out a set of divine skills, with combat power far exceeding ordinary Fifth-Tier experts.

He is a model for Chen Guo youth.

It's just that it's not very appropriate to represent the national image of Chen Guo on a diplomatic mission.

Obviously, this person was brought by Chief Envoy Xu Jin.

Etiquette official Zhu Xizhou just wanted to say something, but Xu Jin gave him a look that made him unable to breathe.

His chest felt like it was being pressed by a heavy stone.

Zhu Xizhou was horrified.

He had practiced for fifty or sixty years and was at least a Fifth-Tier expert; although he was not good at fighting, his strength was there, yet he was rendered speechless by a look from a Sixth-Tier expert.

Until Xu Jin's gaze swept past, Zhu Xizhou regained the ability to speak.

After thinking about it, Zhu Xizhou quietly sent a starlight transmission to Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao, hoping the Grand Master would say something.

Let alone the Deputy Envoy.

At least cross this attendant Ying Ge off the list.

Otherwise, when they arrive in Great Hong, there will be endless ridicule.

【Why don't you come and be the Chief Envoy for the diplomatic mission?】

The starlight transmission replied by Grand Master Cheng Yuexiao left Zhu Xizhou speechless, and even a bit fearful.

To what extent must the Grand Master's support for this Xu Jin reach for him to reply like this?

"Let's set off."

Following Chief Envoy Xu Jin's order, the military marquis Lei Qi, who was responsible for the previous travel itinerary, immediately executed the order. The next instant, the three star boats took off in sequence, and while ascending, they began to accelerate.

This diplomatic mission of Xu Jin was quite formal.

It could also be considered a breakthrough action for the diplomatic relationship between Great Hong and Chen Guo, which had currently dropped to freezing point.

Previously, because of the military action launched by Chen Guo to expel the Heavenly Yang Star Palace's garrison forces, the border between Great Hong and Chen Guo was completely sealed; not only did the Star-Plucking Tower's teleportation stop, but even the passage of merchant caravans became extremely obstructed.

Therefore, this diplomatic mission was considered a reconstruction of the diplomatic relationship between the two countries.

The Great Hong Empire, upon hearing that Chen Guo was interested, also happily agreed.

The main reason was that the Heavenly Yang Star Palace had suffered a huge loss this time, and Great Hong found it difficult to be the first to open this mouth.

Otherwise, if the Heavenly Yang Star Palace was unhappy, all the high-ranking officials of Great Hong would be unhappy.

Chen Guo opening its mouth first was naturally welcome.

It's just that the Star-Plucking Tower teleportation was still banned, so they could only travel by star boat.

It was expected that the journey would take seven or eight days.

Customs clearance, reporting, and so on, all had to follow the specifications of an envoy, so it was a bit slow.

Among the three star boats, besides the entourage, there were two boats of gifts.

Most of them were flashy but impractical diplomatic gifts.

"Whoa, this room is big enough!"

After Xu Jin stepped onto the star boat and entered his room, he was slightly surprised and introduced it to Ning Yuchan and Ying Ge.

"Do you know what my treatment was the first time I rode a star boat?"

"The deck; I sat cross-legged on the deck for a whole night."

"My treatment was better than yours; when I took a star boat to the Star River Battlefield, I booked a small single room," Ning Yuchan laughed.

"Me too," Ying Ge said.

Xu Jin was stunned.

It turned out that only he sat on the deck for a whole night.

But thinking about it, it was also because at that time, his thinking had not yet changed, and even if he had a little something in his pocket, he was frugal everywhere.

Of course, it also had to do with the family environment.

"In the future, I want to build a super-large mobile room boat, and then drive it, bring food and drink, drink wine under the starry sky, and drink tea in the clouds..."

Lying on the large armchair, Xu Jin arranged his leisurely life in the future.

As for taking over the Grand Master's shift?

He wouldn't do it.

The Grand Master is still young, so it's better for him to do more work.

Enjoying life is something that should be left to him.

"Drinking wine under the starry sky, drinking tea in the clouds, then where will you sleep?" Ning Yuchan's almond eyes turned, and she looked at Xu Jin with a smile.

"That would naturally be... practicing all night."

Xu Jin's tongue curled; he originally wanted to say "drunkenly sleeping in a beauty's arms" and take the opportunity to hug Ning Yuchan, and everything would be settled.

But with Ying Ge, this lightbulb, present, he couldn't say it.

Saying it would easily cause misunderstandings.

Suddenly, looking at the large suite the Chief Envoy had on the star boat, Xu Jin regretted bringing Ying Ge.

If he hadn't brought him, he could have done anything.

"Then I'll go back to my room to practice?" Ying Ge's ability to read the room was superb.

"Forget it, come over."

Xu Jin patted his right side and patted his left side at Ning Yuchan.

"There are seven or eight days on the road, don't waste them. If you embarrass me by then, I won't spare you," Xu Jin laughed.

Mentioning this matter, Ning Yuchan was also slightly nervous, so she sat obediently on one side of Xu Jin, and Ying Ge naturally did the same.

Xu Jin had ideas about bringing Ning Yuchan on the diplomatic mission.

Originally, he wasn't going to bring Ying Ge.

Just as the etiquette official thought, Ying Ge is a young hero, but a diplomatic mission represents the national image; it's not appropriate.

But in the end, he still brought Ying Ge.

Brothers are not as close as a wife.

He had to bring Ying Ge to share some of the fire for Ning Yuchan.

Of course, there was another more important reason: among the Fifth-Tier cultivators of the Chen Guo National Dao Academy, no one could fight better than Ying Ge.

Just as Xu Jin was about to open the lamp domain of the arena, Ying Ge suddenly took out a star jade scepter and handed it to Xu Jin like he was offering a treasure.

"Big Brother, I have a good thing to give you."

"Oh?"

Xu Jin took it casually, and the moment his mind sank into it, his expression was a bit surprised.

"This is an Imperial Object Star Pattern?"

"Still Eighth-Tier Middle?"

"Did you deduce it?"

Ying Ge stood up straight and said solemnly, "Thanks to Big Brother's cultivation, my combat power has improved by leaps and bounds recently. I obtained two gold stars and one brilliant star, so I used them to deduce the Imperial Object Star Pattern. Two gold stars plus one brilliant star, just enough to deduce the Imperial Object Star Pattern to the Eighth-Tier Middle."

Ying Ge was quite proud, but even more grateful!

Xu Jin looked sideways, "You can challenge brilliant stars now?" "I suppose so."

"What do you mean by 'I suppose so'?" Xu Jin was surprised.

"Under normal circumstances, I can't fight them, but when challenging the brilliant star, I used up a portion of the accumulated special power. Earth Heart Earth Rhyme strengthened my defense, I took a full-force blow from the inner demon and the gatekeeper, and then Sharp Metal Rhyme erupted, first blasting the inner demon to death."

"With only one gatekeeper left, it was simple," Ying Ge said.

Xu Jin nodded, full of joy.

Using the accumulated special power on challenging the brilliant star was very worthwhile.

His cultivation had finally seen results.

If Ying Ge continued like this, as long as the breakthrough wasn't too fast, even if he couldn't continuously obtain brilliant stars in the future, it would be no problem to continuously obtain gold stars.

By then, Xu Jin wouldn't have to worry about the star patterns of the Imperial Object system; Ying Ge would solve them all.

On the side, Ning Yuchan also took out a star jade scepter and handed it to Xu Jin, "Just right, I also have something to give you, which I just finished yesterday."

Xu Jin took it, and after just one glance, joy appeared on his face.

Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

Ning Yuchan had actually deduced the Eighth-Tier Upper Gold Lei Lei Xiangxing Pattern.

"This is an elephant-type one; how did you get it out?" Xu Jin said in surprise.

"Just a brilliant star. I'm using the same method Ying Ge is using," Ning Yuchan said.

Xu Jin thought it was the same.

Ning Yuchan and Ying Ge, like him, learned Gold Elephant and Earth Elephant, and they learned them earlier than Ying Ge, accumulating more special power.

Using it like this was nothing unusual.

Although the accumulated special power was not omnipotent, if used well, Ning Yuchan could still obtain one or two brilliant stars, let alone gold stars.

In the future, some star patterns could be arranged for these two to deduce.

"Eighth-Tier Upper Gold Elephant has a great effect on improving the power of your sword-controlling technique. Ying Ge, you should learn it in these few days; with my assistance, you should be able to learn it in a short time," Xu Jin arranged.

Ying Ge was not polite and directly took it, "Thank you, Big Brother, thank you, Sister-in-law!"

The term "Sister-in-law" made Ning Yuchan blush, but she didn't deny it, just turned her head away.

Xu Jin laughed at this scene.

Xu Jin thought for a moment and gave the Eighth-Tier Middle Imperial Object Star Pattern that Ying Ge had just given him to Ning Yuchan, "Yuchan, do you want to practice this Imperial Object Star Pattern?"

"Greed leads to poor digestion; I won't practice it," Ning Yuchan's path had always been very simple.

It used to be Gold System, now it's Gold System plus Earth System.

Xu Jin was about to take it back when Ying Ge suddenly said, "Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I think this Imperial Object Star Pattern, especially the Eighth-Tier Lower one, you can practice it; it is very suitable for you."

"Tell me in detail?" Xu Jin and Ning Yuchan looked over.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, the Eighth-Tier Lower Imperial Object Star Pattern has a special star art called 'Moving Mountains'."

"This is a special star art that combines Earth System and Imperial Object System."

"When urged, it can make your weapon as heavy as ten thousand jun, and its power will explode."

"Especially my sword-controlling technique; at the moment of explosion, the originally light flying sword suddenly becomes as heavy as ten thousand jun, and its power explodes several times over."

"Sister-in-law also uses weapons; I think this special star art is quite suitable," Ying Ge said.

Once Xu Jin heard Ying Ge mention the star art "Moving Mountains," he understood.

He had used it.

The Seventh-Tier Supreme Grade Spirit Treasure Huang Long Sword he had brought with him had "Moving Mountains" attached to it.

The effect was about the same as what Ying Ge said.

If there really was this special star art, then Ning Yuchan should really learn it.

"How about this, Big Brother, Sister-in-law, I will demonstrate it for you a little bit; Sister-in-law, why don't you set up a shield for me?" Ying Ge said.

As for asking Xu Jin to set up a shield, Ying Ge ignored it directly.

Big Brother could set up a shield casually, which was not something he could challenge.

"Good."

The next instant, Ning Yuchan instantly jumped to the very back of the suite's main hall, and as star power was urged, a heavy Fish Screen Jin Zhong appeared on her body, "Come on."

Seeing Ning Yuchan trying the sword with her body, Ying Ge was also excited.

Because Ning Yuchan's cultivation base had now reached the Sixth-Tier Fifth Layer, while Ying Ge's current cultivation base was only at the Fifth-Tier Fifth Layer; there was a major realm difference.

"Big Brother, Sister-in-law, watch carefully, this is my previous sword light."

Whoosh!

The moment the sound of breaking through the air flashed, four sword lights swept past, and golden ripples had already rippled on the Fish Screen Jin Zhong that Ning Yuchan had propped up.

Under the bombardment of the four swords, Ning Yuchan's Fish Screen Jin Zhong only rippled.

Wanting to break it open, another four swords would not be enough.

The defensive star art Fish Screen Jin Zhong that Xu Jin had created was too strong.

Especially after being combined with the Eighth-Tier Earth Source and Earth Elephant, Ning Yuchan's defensive power had long been about the same as the Seventh-Tier.

It was normal that Ying Ge couldn't break it.

"Sister-in-law, this time I will use the latest attack with the 'Moving Mountains' star art attached; Sister-in-law, be careful," Ying Ge said.

"Good," Ning Yuchan nodded heavily.

The next instant, sword light rose suddenly.

Whoosh!

The moment the sharp whistling sound of breaking through the air sounded, four sword lights fell one after another.

In Xu Jin's perception, the moment these four sword lights slashed down, they suddenly became incomparably heavy.

In his Clear Record Star Pattern perception, this was no longer using a sword, but using a mountain to smash Ning Yuchan.

The first sword went down, and Ning Yuchan's Fish Screen Jin Zhong instantly rippled with large circles; as the second sword slashed down, the surface of Ning Yuchan's Fish Screen Jin Zhong instantly cracked inch by inch!

The third sword went down, and Ning Yuchan's Fish Screen Jin Zhong shattered completely; Ning Yuchan blocked the remaining power with her sword horizontally.

Ying Ge's fourth sword, however, was suspended high and didn't slash down; he was afraid of hurting Ning Yuchan.

Ning Yuchan looked astonished, but surprise also appeared in Xu Jin's eyes.

The power bonus of this "Moving Mountains" star art was stronger than he had imagined.

"So strong?"

"I can sense that Little Ge's flying sword suddenly became incomparably heavy before it reached me; this power is indeed extraordinary."

"This star art is also suitable for me!"

"I want to learn this Eighth-Tier Lower Imperial Object Star Pattern," said Ning Yuchan, who had experienced it personally.

"Big Brother, the power of this 'Moving Mountains' star art is related to divine soul cultivation; the stronger the divine soul cultivation, the heavier the weight added by the 'Moving Mountains' star art, and the stronger the power."

"However, it also consumes quite a lot of divine soul power."

"With this kind of sword technique, I can use it at most fifteen times before my divine soul cultivation is almost exhausted," Ying Ge said.

Ying Ge's words woke the dreamer.

Xu Jin finally knew the difference between the "Moving Mountains" star art attached to the Huang Long Sword and the special star art "Moving Mountains" that Ying Ge performed.

Because it was solidified on the Huang Long Sword, the power of the "Moving Mountains" star art on Xu Jin's Huang Long Sword was fixed.

Obviously, it was on the small side.

But the special star art "Moving Mountains" learned from the Imperial Object Star Pattern was influenced by the strength of divine soul power.

The stronger the Nascent Soul cultivation base, the stronger the power.

Xu Jin's current Nascent Soul cultivation base had already reached the Nascent Soul peak, and the straight-line radiation distance of the Nascent Soul Yuanling Taiguang exceeded forty-five meters.

However, the so-called Nascent Soul peak was just a division of realms.

Reaching this realm, the Nascent Soul cultivation base could still be improved.

According to the Grand Master, it is said that the straight-line radiation distance of Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun's Nascent Soul Yuanling Taiguang exceeded one hundred meters.

As for the next realm of Nascent Soul cultivation, only the Spirit Record Star Palace had it, and it was the top secret of the Spirit Record Star Palace.

It is said that when Heavenly Yang Tianyang Xingjun attacked the Spirit Record Star Palace back then, he also had needs in this regard.

In this situation, if Xu Jin performed this "Moving Mountains" star art himself, the power of the star art breaking the void would explode, and the power of his "Flowing Spark" battle technique would also double.

Therefore, this Eighth-Tier Lower Imperial Object Star Pattern, not only Ning Yuchan had to learn it, but Xu Jin also had to learn it.

The next instant, Xu Jin opened the arena lamp domain, and the three of them started to comprehend and learn the new star pattern at the same time.
