Chapter 707

Zhu Shizhen wanted to give him the ninth-tier Star Gathering Disk he used for cultivation, and Xu Jin was not polite at all.

He accepted it directly.

Since this Prince Yutang had staked everything on one throw and had almost bet all his chips on him, his brother-in-law, there was no need for him to be coy.

What he could do was to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible and then help the Yutang True Person's residence overcome the current crisis.

Of course, it was possible that what Prince Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, called staking everything on one throw still had some leeway, and there must be a final means of escape and seclusion.

But that would be asking too much.

Xu Jin had seen the sincerity of the entire Yutang True Person's residence, and he had truly received it in his hands.

Besides the ninth-tier Star Gathering Disk, Prince Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, also casually gave Xu Jin thirty-five ninth-tier star crystals and one thousand two hundred eighth-tier star jade tablets.

In Zhu Shizhen's words, he had already emptied most of his family's wealth for Xu Jin, especially the high-tier cultivation resources.

To tell the truth, the resources Zhu Shizhen brought this time still made Xu Jin quite pleasantly surprised.

Especially the Universe Star Dew, which totaled twenty-three drops; he even went to borrow from his own Star Lords.

This could be considered the Profound Heaven Star Realm version of a cultivation loan.

Not only that, Zhu Shizhen also promised that in the next ten years, he would provide all the shares of Star Dew in the Yutang True Person's residence to Xu Jin, including the shares of those few Star Lords.

Calculated this way, that was fourteen drops, plus the seven drops from the Eldest Princess, Zhu Linxiao, and Xu Jin's own seven drops, making twenty-eight drops a year.

Plus the six drops given by his Master, Emperor Fenghua.

Under normal circumstances, that was thirty-four drops a year.

If this continued, as long as there were no accidents, it wouldn't take ten years; in eight years at most, or even seven, Xu Jin's cultivation would definitely reach the eighth-tier peak, or even break through to the ninth tier.

By then, the world Xu Jin faced would be different again.

After Prince Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, left, Xu Jin began to experience the newly acquired ninth-tier Star Gathering Array Disk.

It might be that each side had different focuses; the Profound Heaven Domain seemed to be more skilled in arrays and pills.

Like in the Kunling Domain, where the inheritance was broken, Star Gathering Array Disks above the sixth tier were simply nowhere to be seen.

Xu Jin had already made up his mind that when he returned to the Kunling Domain next time, he must bring back several more sets of eighth-tier and seventh-tier Star Gathering Array Disks to help with the daily cultivation of the Grand Master, Ning Yuchan, and the others.

High-tier Star Gathering Array Disks, besides being able to use higher-tier Star Jade Tablets or even Star Crystals for cultivation, were more critical in terms of quantity.

A sixth-tier Star Gathering Array Disk could embed at most six Star Jade Tablets at a time, but a ninth-tier one could embed nine.

Even if both used sixth-tier Star Jade Tablets, the star power concentration would directly increase by fifty percent.

If eighth-tier Star Jade Tablets were used, the star power concentration would be more than one and a half times higher than when Xu Jin previously used seventh-tier Star Jade Tablets for cultivation.

Correspondingly, cultivation efficiency also increased.

Now, Xu Jin had over one thousand six hundred eighth-tier Star Jade Tablets in his hands, which could support Xu Jin's cultivation for half a year.

Four hours later, Xu Jin, who was using the newly acquired ninth-tier Star Gathering Array Disk, finished his first cultivation session, his expression slightly surprised.

The newly acquired ninth-tier array disk, combined with the eighth-tier Star Jade Tablets, increased cultivation efficiency more than he had imagined.

Previously, normal cultivation took a month to forge one level of the Zhai Xing Lou.

Now, using this, he could forge one level of the Zhai Xing Lou in twelve days.

The effect was even better than using ordinary Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pills.

If combined with taking second-nourishment Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pills, he could condense and forge one level of the Zhai Xing Lou in three days at most.

It could directly shorten the time Xu Jin needed to condense and forge the Zhai Xing Lou significantly.

Xu Jin had already decided that when he returned to the Kunling Domain, he must bring back several more sets of seventh-tier and eighth-tier Star Gathering Array Disks; for the seventh-tier ones, he had to bring at least a hundred sets.

Just like before, it was better to convert supreme treasures like Universe Star Dew, which could rapidly improve cultivation, into strength as soon as possible.

Three drops a day, plus Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pills and the ninth-tier Star Gathering Array Disk, Xu Jin's cultivation was rapidly improving.

Compared to his previous improvement speed, it could be called a thousand miles a day.

This was because Xu Jin was pursuing the limit; if it were an ordinary cultivator, having consumed so much Universe Star Dew, they would have long since reached the eighth-tier peak.

February 16th, the eleventh day of Xu Jin's stay in the Offering Residence of Yutang Prince's City, at the hour of the Rat.

Xu Jin had just refined a drop of Universe Star Dew and subconsciously wanted to continue taking more from his Sumeru space, but he reached into empty air.

A sweep of his divine sense revealed that it was gone.

The twenty-three drops of Universe Star Dew sent by Prince Yutang, Zhu Shizhen, a few days ago had all been consumed.

His cultivation could also be considered to have advanced by leaps and bounds.

Inside his body, around the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower, eight Zhai Xing Lou sub-towers stood around it, as if guarding the Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower.

Among the eight Star Towers, especially the Space Zhai Xing Lou and the Lightning Zhai Xing Lou, both reached thirty-six levels, the Wood system reached twelve levels, and the others only had three levels.

The total number was close to a hundred levels.

With the Universe Star Dew consumed, the period of rapid cultivation improvement could be considered over.

If anyone else sensed Xu Jin's cultivation aura, they would find that his cultivation aura had already soared to the late eighth tier.

The reference point for the eighth-tier cultivation realm was actually one's own Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower.

Being equal in height to one's own Heaven-Earth Cloud Tower was considered the eighth-tier peak.

But in Xu Jin's view, he had only walked one-eighth of his eighth-tier path.

The difference between a genius and an ordinary cultivator probably lay here.

The eighth-tier peak in the realm division was, for ordinary cultivators, the goal they strove to reach because their upper limit was there, but for a genius or a peerless genius like Xu Jin, it was because the mainstream realm division of the current world was set at the eighth-tier peak.

With the Universe Star Dew consumed, Xu Jin's subsequent cultivation would be step-by-step, and he felt quite a bit more relaxed.

It was rare for him to have the kitchen make a little late-night snack and send it over.

What surprised Xu Jin was that the person who sent the late-night snack was actually the Eldest Princess, Zhu Linxiao. Under the brilliance of the long-lasting pearls, the Eldest Princess, Zhu Linxiao, was lightly powdered, possessing a bit of brightness.

"Hearing from the kitchen that my husband ordered a late-night snack, I thought that my husband's bitter cultivation had ended, so I brought it over personally."

While speaking, Zhu Linxiao arranged several exquisite side dishes one by one, and after serving the dishes for Xu Jin, she called the servants outside the door to bring a basin of hot water.

"Husband, eat first; I will bathe your feet and massage them for you." The Eldest Princess, Zhu Linxiao, had already bent down and started to take off Xu Jin's shoes and socks.

Xu Jin's expression was slightly stunned, as if he were a bit dazed, recalling certain scenes from his previous life.

Then he laughed, "With my cultivation, a surge of star power clears the blood vessels; it seems this foot massage is useless, right?"

"Who says it's useless?"

The Eldest Princess, Zhu Linxiao, had already taken off Xu Jin's shoes and socks, held Xu Jin's feet in both hands, and put them into the warm water in the basin, rubbing and massaging them gently while she spoke.

"Husband, you don't know that I used to think that these kinds of small worldly affections were of no use to cultivators like us.

But a few years ago, when I returned from the Star Dew Secret Realm, I suffered a severe setback; not only was my own Dao path cut off, but the Yutang Prince's residence was also in jeopardy.

At that time, I blamed myself and worried all day long, restless from morning till night, and my state grew worse and worse.

Until one day, my mother saw that my state was getting worse, so she personally brought a basin of hot water, personally bathed my feet, massaged them, and chatted with me.

That night, I miraculously fell asleep.

Since then, my mother came every day to bathe my feet.

I don't know why, but every time that hour arrived, my heart felt especially quiet.

This helped me get through those most agonizing days, and I made it through.

Seeing my husband cultivating bitterly every day these past few days, I wanted to do my meager part; if my husband can get a moment of tranquility, it's worth it."

In the voice that flowed like a stream, Xu Jin unexpectedly recalled the time when he had just arrived in Jinshan County, the days of pointing at stars with difficulty, recalled the worldly fireworks, and his mood also relaxed inexplicably.

"Hmm?"

When Xu Jin came back to his senses, Zhu Linxiao was still slowly massaging Xu Jin's feet, still squatting there, but the voice had long since stopped.

It was truly a long-lost tranquility!

"This really can make me relaxed and quiet," Xu Jin said softly.

"As long as my husband likes it, then I will bathe and massage my husband's feet every day."

"You have a good mother."

"My mother would be very happy to hear that! My mother often said in the early years that we cultivators are like immortals and gods, but even immortals and gods come from humans; human nature is immortal nature and divine nature!

I didn't understand in the early years, but I slowly understood later," Zhu Linxiao said.

"Some time later, take me to pay respects to Mother-in-law!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhu Linxiao's expression became pleasantly surprised; this was the first time Xu Jin had openly acknowledged the relationship between the two of them.

"Thank you, Husband, for your understanding!"

Under the brilliance of the pearls, Zhu Linxiao, who was looking up at Xu Jin, still had water droplets on her hands, and her pretty face, full of smiles, was full of surprise; in the surprise, there was also a hint of charm.

This suddenly made Xu Jin's heart stir.

"Lin'er, do you know that there is another, more effective way to make your husband relax?" Xu Jin asked.

"A more effective way?" Zhu Linxiao was puzzled, and said softly, "Please enlighten me, Husband; whatever I can do, I will definitely do, and whatever I can't, I will definitely try my best to do."

"You can do it."

"Then what way is it?"

"Hmm, you'll know right away."

The next instant, Xu Jin had already scooped up Zhu Linxiao, and the moment he lowered his head, Zhu Linxiao had already made a sound... and at that moment, she also clumsily tried to cooperate.

Starlight spread out, Zhu Linxiao was already... and before long, a unique sound rang out...

Eat when you want to eat; this was Xu Jin's current realm.

【True Person, I have three opportunities to comprehend the Law Heaven Road, two of which have fixed times, so I would like to apply to you for the third opportunity to comprehend the Law Heaven Road. Please arrange it at your discretion.】

In the Offering Residence of Yutang Prince's City, Xu Jin sent a starlight message to True Person Commander Tian Zhang and then waited quietly for a response.

Nearly a month had passed, and the resources Xu Jin had in his hands that could rapidly improve his cultivation in the short term were basically all used up.

Now that the Seven-Star Profound Yellow Pill had stabilized at the second nourishment, it could be continuously supplied and taken, and his cultivation had once again entered the boring period of daily repetition.

Xu Jin had already decided that he would find a time and a suitable place in the near future to receive the cultivation resources from his Master, Emperor Fenghua.

However, before going, Xu Jin decided to use one of his opportunities for the Law Heaven Road first.

The Law Heaven Road was still very helpful to Xu Jin now.

It should also be able to improve his strength, especially his space star arts.

So he contacted True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

About half an hour later, Xu Jin received a reply from True Person Commander Tian Zhang.

【There are three of you enjoying first-class Daoist treatment; I just contacted Yuan Chengfa and Su Xuan, and they also intend to use the Law Heaven Road to comprehend Dao laws in the near future. Since you brought it up, I helped you coordinate it.】

【It starts in three hours. Can you make it to the Dao Palace in time?】 True Person Commander Tian Zhang asked.

【No problem, thank you for your care, True Person.】 Xu Jin replied with a starlight message.

In the Dao Palace, True Person Commander Tian Zhang looked at Xu Jin's reply, smiled slightly, and began to contact Yuan Chengfa to notify him of the time.

He was extremely willing to build a friendship with a young man like Xu Jin who had extremely high talent and knew how to be grateful.

In the Offering Residence, Xu Jin sent a starlight message to Zhu Linxiao at the first opportunity: 【Eldest Princess, I am returning to the Dao Palace and need you to help me handle a matter; it needs to be done secretly.】

【My husband, just give the order.】

【Good, then you do this...】
