Chapter 263: Chapter 136: The New Shelter and Return (Vote for Monthly Ticket)_3

Xu Jin also speculated about the answer to the third question, which certainly had nothing to do with his identity.

It could possibly be related to Chi Meng and Chi You’s cultivation level since only the two of them are in the Ninth Layer of Refining Star, or it could be related to the quality of their Star Casting.

As for Chi You, Xu Jin was not sure, but Chi Meng’s Star Casting quality should be that of a top-grade Star Core.

Of course, it may also have something to do with their having refined the Red Scale Heart.

So the question arises, what benefits had Xu Jin gained after refining two Red Scale Hearts?

Xu Jin vaguely felt that after refining the two Red Scale Hearts, he indeed gained benefits, but as for the specifics, it was still unclear.

He could only slowly explore it, and later, he could also consult the State Preceptor.

It took Xu Jin two full hours to clean up the aftermath, and his pouch now contained over forty bloodstained Star Cores.

As for the Treasury of the Red Scale Royal Court, upon finding it, Xu Jin felt so angry he wanted to curse.

There was not a single piece of Star Jade.

Only useless Star Weapons and a substantial amount of Star Fallen Iron Ore.

"State Preceptor, I’ve finished cleaning up the battlefield and have refined the Red Scale Hearts. Can you now tell me how I should return?" Xu Jin contacted the State Preceptor through the Star-picking Order.

The State Preceptor replied in a second, which gave Xu Jin great peace of mind.

"Xu Jin, the method to return is very simple. You only need to immerse your mind into the Red Scale Heart, and then at the same time activate the Star-picking Order. Use it as the coordinate guide, infuse it with Star Power, and you can return.

However, while it’s easy to come back, if you want to re-enter, you must wait more than two months for the Star Gate to be unsealed before you can enter again," said Cheng Yuxiao.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jin’s heart stirred slightly.

Even with a Red Scale Heart, he could only leave, not re-enter right away.

This restriction seemed to be real.

Otherwise, the State Preceptor also had a Red Scale Heart; if it were possible, he would have already sent additional people in.

In that case, Xu Jin decided to cultivate for another two or three days.

After all, now that he controlled that method, he could return to the present world at any time.

After two or three more days of cultivation, Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace cultivation level could quickly breakthrough to the Peak of the Late Period of Star Casting.

You must know, in the Fire Contract Star Domain, where the Star Power concentration is extremely high, Xu Jin’s cultivation speed was four or five times, or even more, faster than in the outside world.

Cultivating for one day was equivalent to cultivating arduously for four or five days on the outside.

In the present world under normal circumstances, even with an abundance of cultivation resources, to reach the Peak of Star Casting from the Early Period would require at least half a month, or even longer.

But now, it would take only two or three days.

Anyone who wouldn’t cultivate under these circumstances would be a fool.

Xu Jin immediately explained his thoughts to the State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao.

"Indeed, for those below the Star Refining Realm, the Fire Radiant Star Domain is indeed a sacred cultivation ground, and the cultivation process barely consumes additional resources.

It would be best for you to cultivate both major Star Palaces to the Peak of Star Casting before coming out, a few days won’t make a big difference anyway.

Besides, I have another matter for you to handle," said National Master Cheng Yue Xiao.

"Please give your orders, State Preceptor," said Xu Jin.

Cheng Yuxiao, however, was not in a hurry to discuss the matter and instead said, "If this matter is handled well, it will be of tremendous benefit to you, my boy. Not only will your importance and position within Dachen rise, but you will also receive a significant and stable annual income.

This is a great opportunity that many Fourth Tier, Fifth Tier, and even Sixth Tier Experts would fight over and still not be able to get."

Hearing this, Xu Jin frowned, "State Preceptor, is this matter very difficult to handle?" Typically, the more benefits involved in something, the harder it is to achieve.

"For others, it’s as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and no matter how urgent it is now, it can’t be done.

But for you, given your current situation, it’s very easy.

Just control a decent puppet, help him unite the entire Fire Radiant Star Domain, and make him the king of the Fire Radiant Star Domain," said Cheng Yuxiao.

"Got it, then I’ll do it!"

"But I don’t know the method to control a puppet for a long time yet."

"I’ll teach you!" State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao agreed very readily.

In the Da Chen National Daoist School’s Autumn Examination Secret Realm, Left Libationer Meng Yanhui, upon seeing the conversation between the State Preceptor and Xu Jin come to an end, sighed and said, "State Preceptor, I really did not expect that Xu Jin would be so powerful and have such good fortune.

Dong Zhao has raised a good disciple."

"The most unexpected should be those who secretly planned this matter, right?" State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao said, lost in thought.

"Indeed it is! Without Xu Jin, they probably would have succeeded.

If our only two Second Tier Star Domains in Dachen were to lose one, the loss would be too heavy! It’s hard to imagine the pressure our National Daoist Institute would face," Meng Yanhui said.

Speaking of which, Meng Yanhui suddenly asked, "State Preceptor, do you know how the investigation by the Supervisor is going?"

"It’s still ongoing. From what we can see now, at least two factions were involved, and the plan has been a long time in the making. It might have started last year or even three or four years ago."

"Hopefully Elder Chen will be able to root out the mastermind behind this," said Meng Yanhui, then shifted his tone, "State Preceptor, is it really appropriate to let Xu Jin take control of this Fire Radiant Star Domain directly?"

"What’s inappropriate about it? Xu Jin reconquered the Fire Radiant Star Domain in a life and death situation; there’s nothing inappropriate about giving him control," said National Master Cheng Yue Xiao.

"That might be the case!"

Meng Yanhui bitterly smiled, "But you’re not unaware, State Preceptor, how fiercely those noble families have been lately! Those Second Tier Star Weapons, especially the top-grade ones in the Second Tier weapons, have all been sold at sky-high prices!

And emblems, top-grade and top-grade Second Tier emblems, have disappeared from the market."
