now, additional hard currency—such as Star Ruins Yuan Sand, Zhou Tian Star Dew, or nine branches for five primordial spiritual materials—was required.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the quantity was even less.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last month, he had scooped up one hundred and sixty thousand-year branches and fifty two-thousand-year branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, he managed only one hundred thousand-year branches and ten two-thousand-year branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When he asked why, he was told the stock had sold out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This market only receives this much supply each month.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for three-thousand-year branches, no matter how high the price, they won’t sell them—they’re reserved to draw crowds at auctions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made Xu Jin frown deeply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If things continued like this, the thousand-year Purple Yuan branch would become the greatest obstacle to his path toward True Personhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless Xu Jin was willing to abandon natural transformation into a Nascent Soul and instead pursue the path of transforming via the Purple Yuan Bodhi fruit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The upper limit of Nascent Soul cultivation boosted by refining Purple Yuan bone veins might be lower, but as long as Xu Jin refined dozens of Purple Yuan bone veins, he would still be far ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The key was the Heavenly Soul talent gained after natural transformation into a Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every cultivator has only one chance in their lifetime—miss it, and it’s gone forever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless absolutely forced, Xu Jin had no intention of abandoning the path of natural transformation into a Nascent Soul.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So far, the total quantity of thousand-year Purple Yuan Bodhi branches Xu Jin had acquired, including those consumed, was under six hundred; two-thousand-year branches totaled seventy; three-thousand-year branches, six.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if the effects of two-thousand-year and three-thousand-year branches doubled, he was still far short.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Xu Jin had previously estimated that if true hundred-vein natural transformation into a Nascent Soul was required, combined with his Can Dou Platform’s nurturing and advancement, he would need at least five thousand thousand-year branches.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, he was still far from that number.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Headache!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As before, after leaving Zi Yuan Hall, Xu Jin wandered the Qingyin Market for a while before departing, attempting to lure fish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after circling the Qingyin Market and leaving, his expression grew even darker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not a single True Person had taken the bait!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fine, even the prey had grown wiser; Xu Jin felt helpless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, Qingyin Market was only so large.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two consecutive appearances of a Star Lord-level wealthy patron had drawn out True Person Qiangzhe  eager to ambush and plunder—but all had vanished, none returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they weren’t alert now, they never would have reached their cultivation level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since they wouldn’t bite, Xu Jin had no choice but to leave quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After departing, Xu Jin swiftly teleported and soon silently arrived at Floating Shadow Star Island, where he explored the island under cover of night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He performed the same procedure as before: infiltrated again and used Wen Meng to pull Lu Zhan into a dream.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His original intent was to ask for more details.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he discovered something that chilled him to the bone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight days ago, Lu Zhan’s ancestral master, Kong Yuan Emperor, had visited again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had he come, but he had bestowed a priceless treasure capable of enhancing the Deep Domain technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The treasure bestowed was precisely the Illusory Void Silver Shell that Kong Yuan Emperor had previously given Xu Jin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sent a cold shiver through Xu Jin’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn’t Kong Yuan Emperor say that treasure was obtained in exchange for the corpse of Chi Ze True Person, which Xu Jin had offered?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for Lu Zhan himself, he fully believed it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thanks to the explosive power of the Deep Domain technique, he, as a Star Lord, could now severely wound even fourth- or fifth-realm True Persons!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was ecstatic and immediately refined it upon receiving it, further enhancing his Deep Domain technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could Lu Qi have one too?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this thought, Xu Jin found Lu Qi and activated Wen Meng again; within mere breaths, his back was icy cold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eight days ago, Kong Yuan Emperor had visited Lu Qi as well and gifted him a piece of Illusory Void Silver Shell, which Lu Qi had immediately refined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin knew one thing clearly: although Fire Spirit True Blood was precious, it could at most exchange for one Illusory Void Silver Shell—three? Absolutely impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three could only mean Kong Yuan Emperor was paying out of his own pocket!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What exactly was Kong Yuan Emperor trying to do?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had seen masters who treated disciples well, but such extreme favoritism, coupled with personal expenditure to heavily cultivate them, was exceedingly rare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Illusory Void Silver Shell was comparable in rank to primordial spiritual materials, yet its value far surpassed them, since it could, to some extent, replace a Star Realm Source Core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After fifteen breaths, Xu Jin silently infiltrated the residence of Lu Wangshi, the matriarch of the Lu Clan’s royal city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Wangshi possessed cultivation, she was only at the ninth-rank level; a single surge of divine sense sent her into deep sleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin interrogated her—but the result was nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Jin had hoped that if Kong Yuan Emperor truly had ulterior motives, would the Floating Shadow True Person have left behind any clues?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her mother, Lu Wangshi, was the ideal custodian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After circling once more, Xu Jin returned to Lu Zhan’s room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pondering for a while, his second technique, Sword Yuan, suddenly stirred, and fine strands of faintly black light coalesced before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This technique, Black Plague Silk, also known as Black Silk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment the Black Silk was activated, it silently settled onto Lu Zhan’s Dao Embryo, swiftly wrapping around it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it entwined, it instantly merged with Lu Zhan’s Dao Embryo, becoming invisible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It could only be revealed when Xu Jin activated it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a tracking technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with adaptation, it had another use: determining Lu Zhan’s life or death.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Xu Jin’s current Divine Soul cultivation strength, this Black Silk technique embedded in Lu Zhan’s body would last at least half a year without dissipating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within half a year, if the Black Silk suddenly vanished, it meant Lu Zhan was in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, Lu Zhan was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a warning method Xu Jin devised for himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhan’s cultivation level matched his own, but he had spent twelve years rigorously refining the Deep Domain technique; his cultivation achievements in the Deep Domain, hidden by Xu Jin’s deliberate concealment, far surpassed Xu Jin’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Logically, if Master Kong Yuan Emperor truly had designs, he would target Lu Zhan first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Lu Zhan encountered trouble, it would be a Heaven-Sized Warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few breaths, Xu Jin wove a dream for Lu Zhan: in the dream, Lu Zhan suddenly awoke, “Again, I dreamed of Father? Father, are you watching me? Don’t worry—I won’t take long before I gain the power to avenge you!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In another courtyard, Xu Jin also applied a strand of Black Silk to the sleeping Lu Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>",1224,"2026-06-19T23:56:35.933Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","925a288532c22848fad1d8d8c39f40e7c50a159b1c892be1d920a07b921ac051","the-star-martial-era-chapter-936","the-star-martial-era-chapter-934",1000,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-star-martial-era-cover.jpg"]
