Chapter 262: Chapter 136: New Refuge and Return (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_2

So theoretically speaking, if Xu Jin refined and absorbed the Red Scale Heart, he would essentially be absorbing a problem.

But the issue was, without refining it, there was no way out.

To get out, he would have to wait another two months and twenty-three days.

Not to mention wasting cultivation time, who knows if the person behind the Divine Statue had other tricks up their sleeve in the next twenty-three days?

A long night breeds many dreams, as the saying goes.

After pondering for a while, Xu Jin decisively steeled his heart and chose to refine.

Even if he didn’t refine the Red Scale Heart and handed it over, would that mean he would be rid of all troubles?

Certainly not!

If the person behind the Divine Statue was powerful enough in their Divine Skills, they would surely be able to investigate and find out that it was Xu Jin who quelled the rebellion in the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

It would be better to refine it and return earlier to enhance his strength.

Then leave this mess for the National Master Cheng Yuxiao to handle.

Anyway, he ranked higher.

With that thought, Xu Jin put all his effort into refining the Red Scale Heart.

Fifteen minutes later, the moment the first Red Scale Heart was completely refined and disappeared, it suddenly vanished.

But quickly, Xu Jin found this Red Scale Heart in his Upper Star Palace, just below his Divine Soul Star, emanating a faint red light.

Continue refining.

Another fifteen minutes passed, and the second Red Scale Heart was also refined by Xu Jin, and then it disappeared, reappearing just below the Divine Soul Star in Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace.

After refining, the two Red Scale Hearts were connected by a red glow, as if they were one entity.

"What is this thing good for?"

Xu Jin tried to submerge his Divine Thought into the two Red Scale Hearts.

The next instant, Xu Jin felt an endless redness.

And twelve specks of light.

Several of these lights were especially close to Xu Jin.

Suddenly, Xu Jin realized that those twelve lights must be the Red Scale Heart Armor.

Xu Jin pondered thoughtfully.

After a few moments, Xu Jin withdrew his thoughts and returned to the Fire Radiant Star Domain.

At this very moment, the Fire Radiant Star Domain gave Xu Jin an indescribable sense of novelty.

It was as if the air was sweet, staying here filled Xu Jin with exhilaration and delight, a feeling similar to returning to his long-missed hometown.

"I have to consult with the National Master about the use of this thing."

What followed was the usual routine, looting corpses.

By now, almost all of the clan members within the Red Scale Royal Court had fled.

First, Xu Jin picked up the jade box that had fallen from the altar.

The jade box felt cool to the touch. Xu Jin did not dare to open it directly but instead used a Star Weapon to pry it open, which worked immediately.

Inside lay a fist-sized, semi-transparent Pill and a piece of Jade.

This must be the objects that the person behind the Divine Statue had given to Chi You to break free from Dachen’s control.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Jin decisively covered the jade box again.

Heaven knows if there were any malicious tricks inside; it’s best not to look and avoid getting harmed.

He would wait until he brought it back for the National Master to examine.

From the bodies of Chi You and Prince Chi Meng together, Xu Jin found a total of ten Fourth-tier Star Jades, and from the other forty-plus Star Refining Realm bodies, he found five more Fourth-tier Star Jades, over twenty Third-tier Star Jades, and more than fifty Second-tier Star Jades.

Xu Jin stored the fifteen Fourth-tier Star Jades into the Candou Platform, and with this, the number of Fourth-tier Star Jades Xu Jin had obtained in the Fire Radiant Star Domain reached nineteen.

As for the Second and Third-tier Star Jades, he allowed the Candou Platform to absorb them all, which added nearly thirty strands of Starlight to it.

Very quickly, Xu Jin stripped off a piece of Second-tier Star Weapon soft armor from Prince Chi Meng.

Although it had withstood one of Xu Jin’s attacks, it was unscathed.

Xu Jin examined it and found it to be much stronger than his previous First-tier Croc Dragon Soft Armor.

The armor was entirely red, woven from scales of a type Xu Jin had never seen. Xu Jin simply referred to it as Second-tier Fire Scale Soft Armor.

After cleaning it, Xu Jin unceremoniously donned it.

For Xu Jin, who had rummaged through the dead before, he was no longer bothered by such matters; what could save his life was a good thing.

The Star Weapon that Prince Chi Meng used was a First-tier Star Weapon, but it was much better than those used by the other members of the Red Scale Clan. There was also a pair of First-tier Star Boots, which were quite good.

On the other hand, Lord of Red Scale Chi You’s belongings were not of much value.

With a swift and neat couple of slashes, Xu Jin extracted the Heart Cores from both Chi Meng and You, which were Third-tier Upper Star Cores, and was about to casually toss them into the pouch he used for storing Star Cores.

Suddenly, the Starlight on Xu Jin’s Candou Platform turned slightly.

Xu Jin was astonished.

The Star Cores of these two had triggered a response in the Candou Platform.

[Eligible for rituals: Third-tier Snake Spirit, Third-tier Tiger Spirit, Third-tier Fire Spirit, Third-tier Fire Spirit]

Newly added to the Candou Platform among the Stars Cores eligible for rituals were two Third-tier Fire Spirits.

Further immersing his thoughts, the information about the Third-tier Fire Spirits appeared.

[Third-tier top-grade Fire Spirit]

[Possible protection obtained: Initial Tier Fire Origin, Fire Transformation Star Pattern, Blast Flame Star Pattern]

[Third-tier top-grade Fire Spirit]

[Possible protection obtained: Initial Tier Fire Origin, Fire Transformation Star Pattern, Flame Flower Star Pattern]

Xu Jin had not expected that obtaining two Star Cores from Chi You and Chi Meng could also provide Protection Star Patterns.

The Flame Flower Star Pattern, Xu Jin roughly guessed, must have been that Star Pattern when Chi Meng attacked him, causing flowers of flame to emerge from the ground. Then what was the Fire Transformation Star Pattern?

What about Initial Tier Fire Origin?

And why could the Star Cores excavated from Chi Meng and Chi You obtain protection, while those of the other Red Scale Clan warriors could not?

For the first two questions, Xu Jin would need time for testing to find the answers.
