If his abilities permitted in the future, he would definitely find a way to extend his father Xu Dajiang’s life. Not necessarily to one hundred and twenty years, but at least to have his father live to ninety without disease or disaster, right?

After completing his cultivation on the night of July 22nd, Xu Jin once again entered the Star-picking Tower. As usual, after completing his daily sparring with Drunk Moon Immortal, he once more challenged the second-ranked "No Big Deal".

Seven battles!

Xu Jin won five and lost two!

His win rate and practical combat ability had both increased significantly.

"No Big Deal" was proving to be an excellent whetstone.

Xu Jin’s ranking in the Martial Arts Secret Realm had risen to second.

Looking at the first-ranked "Moon Shadow," Xu Jin was extremely curious about Moon Shadow’s strength but still did not make an exception. Xu Jin was preparing to challenge the top rank of the Martial Arts Secret Realm, "Moon Shadow," tomorrow.

Self-discipline of this sort, once an exception was made, would lead to a second time, and then countless times.

By then, it wouldn’t just be the number of Martial Arts Secret Realm challenges that would suffer, but other related abilities such as invisibility or using Divine Soul Power to amplify the might of Star Skill would all be broken.

It could potentially bring disaster upon Xu Jin.

But Xu Jin also had a plan.

After taking the Mental-locking Golden Pill, he would increase the number of challenges he had in the First Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm from ten to twelve.

Even if someone with ulterior motives noticed, it could still be explained away.

******

On the evening of July 23rd, when Xu Jin took his second Mortal Nourishing Pill of First Essence, he noticed that it had no effect.

The ordinary Mortal Nourishing Pill of First Essence no longer worked, so Xu Jin decisively took a top-grade Transcendence Pill of First Essence.

Half an hour later, a layer of gray-white impurities once again seeped from Xu Jin’s body, now almost devoid of any foul smell.

After the bath, Xu Jin’s whole being felt crystal clear.

At first glance, not to mention the brightness of his eyes, even his skin was faintly glowing; his whole person was immensely translucent, and even his hair had a shiny luster.

To be honest, Xu Jin himself was somewhat taken with this look.

This cultivation indeed had an effect akin to shedding the mortal body and exchanging the bones.

"Hmm?"

Qi Shanye, who lived in the same yard, took just one look and sensed something was off. He quickly approached within five meters of Xu Jin, his eyes revealing a look of astonishment, "No way, so quickly? It’s only been a few days, and you’ve already achieved a Purity Body?"

"Teacher, I don’t quite understand Purity Body, but I’ve just completed the sixth Purification," said Xu Jin.

As for the reason, Xu Jin could only let Qi make his own assumptions.

There was no helping it; the pills Xu Jin took were simply too potent.

Others achieved Purity Body by taking top-grade Transcendence Pills.

But theoretically, Xu Jin had been using top-grade Transcendence Pills from the start.

The drug efficacy of an ordinary Transcendence Pill of First Essence was definitely almost the same as that of a top-grade one.

So how strong could be the drug efficacy of top-grade Transcendence Pill of First Essence?

Now, Xu Jin had only taken one top-grade Pill of First Essence.

He still had eleven top-grade Transcendence Pills.

Out of these eleven, three had already been nourished in the Star Lamp for four days, achieving the Second Essence; the rest were close behind.

The pattern of the drug efficacy of the Second Essence Pill was already figured out by Xu Jin.

For the First Essence, it needed to be nourished in the Star Lamp for one day, and to turn a pill into the Second Essence, it needed three more days of nourishment in the Star Lamp.

Xu Jin did not plan to take these three pills immediately; he wanted to see if he could bring these pills to the Third Essence.

And if so, how long it would take.

If he could reach the Third Essence, how many times could Xu Jin finally undergo Purification?

Seven times, or eight times?

For this, Xu Jin had already removed the First Tier Star Weapon that had been nourished in the Star Lamp for four days.

The three Star Lamps, from the day before yesterday, were all used to nourish the top-grade Transcendence Pills.

By tomorrow, the other five top-grade Transcendence Pills would all have reached the Second Essence.

On the evening of July 23rd, "No Big Deal," who had been relegated to third place by Xu Jin, could hardly wait as he entered the Star-picking Tower for a rematch.

Yesterday he had five defeats and two victories, which had frustrated No Big Deal for an entire day, thinking about tactics all day long.

A person who had been defeated multiple times in his hands just four or five days ago could suddenly turn things around in four or five days, changing from being defeated to winning five times in a row against him.

This setback was hard to take for the proud-hearted No Big Deal.

To not be able to handle "Moon Shadow" was one thing; that person had a solid foundation.

But to not be able to handle "Great Sage Equalling Heaven," someone without any foundation, always using the most basic Star Skill, without unique Star Pattern inheritance, this was utterly frustrating for No Big Deal.

So he had been waiting for "Great Sage Equalling Heaven" to log in to challenge.

Xu Jin was not in a hurry to accept the challenge but, as usual, played three rounds with Drunk Moon Immortal.

Taking money and doing favors; he must maintain his integrity.

[How did you defeat that ’No Big Deal’? I’ve challenged him five times over the past two days, and I’ve lost five times, Drunk Moon Immortal]

Xu Jin looked thoughtfully at this Starlight Transmission. Was this woman beaten up by ’No Big Deal’?

Then, Xu Jin replied with a very long Starlight Transmission to Drunk Moon Immortal.

Mainly because it was free, and Xu Jin didn’t want to spend money sending a second one.

Basically, it was some of the strategies he had used to defeat ’No Big Deal’ these past few days. Whether Drunk Moon Immortal could use them and defeat ’No Big Deal’ was another matter.

Then, Xu Jin responded to the challenge from "No Big Deal," ranked third in the First Tier Martial Learning Secret Realm.

And finally allowed No Big Deal, who had been waiting a whole day, to have his awaited comeback battle.
