Chapter 266: Chapter 137: State Preceptor’s Reward (Request for Subscription)_2

"Is it that difficult to enhance Divine Soul Power?" Xu Jin asked with a look of astonishment.

"Of course. Divine Soul Power is the foundation for breaking through to the Fifth and Sixth Tier. Many cultivators spend their entire lives stuck at the peak of the Ninth Layer of Star Condensation simply because their Divine Soul Power is insufficient," Cheng Yuxiao explained.

After saying this, the National Master resumed examining the piece of jade, "This thing is quite ordinary. It only contains a record of one Divine Separation Technique, which can sever a strand of Divine Soul after it has grown powerful to a certain extent, allowing it to exist independently.

Together, these two things must be the price for Chi You’s betrayal!

First, use the Primordial Soul Pearl to strengthen Chi You’s Divine Soul Power, let him perform Star Casting, and then have him cultivate this Divine Separation Technique. By then, even if I stimulate the Divine Soul of the Chi You under my control within the Red Scale Heart, I could only kill one of Chi You’s Divine Separations.

Chi You would be able to escape from death right under my hands!

What a grand scheme!"

The National Master sighed, "The Primordial Soul Pearl is something that usually only the Baidou Divine Sect possesses, and only the leaders of the Baidou Divine Sect, the True Monarchs, and the Experts have the power to obtain it. This confirms that the Baidou Divine Sect had a hand in this matter."

Having finished, the National Master looked at Xu Jin and said, "Xu Jin, in the short term, be careful of the Baidou Divine Sect and pay attention to your safety."

"I’ll remember that."

"Now that you’ve obtained this item, Star Casting your Divine Soul is imminent, yet you possess no Star Patterns for the Divine Soul! Xu Jin, do you remember I once promised that if you returned alive from the Fire Radiant Star Domain, I would allow you to choose a high-tier Star Pattern to learn.

Why don’t you learn a Divine Soul Star Pattern from me to facilitate your Star Casting?" the National Master Cheng Yuxiao suggested.

Xu Jin pondered just for an instant before immediately nodding his head.

There was absolutely no way to refuse.

A refusal would immediately arouse suspicion from the National Master.

Besides, only a fool would refuse.

According to Qi’s words, Divine Soul Star Patterns are extremely precious, each one is a secret transmission. Those cultivators who have completed Star Casting and reached the mid to late period of Refining Star often cannot engrave their Star Patterns completely.

Like Xu Jin’s current Divine Soul Star, with a Sixth Tier Cultivation Level, in theory, he could engrave seven Divine Soul Star Patterns.

But actually, on Xu Jin’s current Divine Soul Star, only three Divine Soul Star Patterns are engraved: Clear Soul, Guicang, and Elephant Concealing, and there are still four spots empty!

Only a fool would not want this.

"Disciple gives thanks to the National Master!" Xu Jin immediately performed a long bow to the ground.

The National Master Cheng Yuxiao did not hesitate to formally accept Xu Jin’s gesture of respect.

"Xu Jin, I currently have three Divine Soul Star Patterns that I can teach you, the first is Suppressing Intent, the second is Breaking Evil, and the third is Warm Dream. Which one would you like to learn?"

The National Master Cheng Yuxiao then briefly explained the effects of these three Divine Soul Star Patterns to Xu Jin.

The Suppressing Intent Star Pattern is a defensive Divine Soul Star Pattern that can protect against ordinary Divine Soul attacks and protect the Divine Soul. When cultivating, it can also improve the cultivation effect and has various other marvelous uses.

The Breaking Evil Star Pattern, as the name suggests, is an offensive Divine Soul Star Pattern that can use Divine Soul Power to condense a Breaking Evil Arrow to attack the enemy’s Divine Soul. In battle, it can achieve miraculous effects, but it is also greatly consuming.

After Star Casting the Divine Soul, most people’s Divine Soul Power can only condense two to three Breaking Evil Arrows, but these often have the effect of turning the tide against stronger adversaries, especially against Experts below the Upper Fourth Tier Peak.

The Warm Dream Star Pattern is a somewhat special Star Pattern that can interrogate the target quickly by putting them into a deep sleep to obtain the information desired. It can also soothe one’s own and others’ Divine Souls through dreams, has a certain effect in healing Divine Soul injuries, and can slightly accelerate the recovery speed of Divine Soul Power to a certain extent.

"Which one do you want to learn?" the National Master Cheng Yuxiao asked.

Xu Jin froze, inevitably glancing at Ning Yuchan.

To be honest, Xu Jin wished to learn them all.

If he could behave the way he did some days ago, like a bamboo pole tapping the Mountain Master, turning one Second-tier Star Weapon into two.

If someone could now cooperate and directly turn the National Master’s teaching of one Star Pattern into three, that would be perfect.

Unfortunately, today there were no divine assists.

Neither Ning Yuchan nor the Mountain Master Dong Zhao dared to behave rashly in front of the National Master.

But that was also normal.

A Second-tier Star Weapon, being an item with a price, could cost up to tens of thousands of taels of silver at most, which, when converted into Star-picking Tower’s Starlight, were merely a few hundred strands.

But each of these Divine Soul Star Patterns was, in effect, priceless.

Seeing Xu Jin’s pleading gaze, the Mountain Master Dong Zhao suddenly laughed and said, "It’s a pity I’m not so lucky. If I had such luck, I would definitely choose Warm..."

The instant the National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s gaze darted over, the Mountain Master Dong Zhao timely shut his mouth, "National Master, look at me, babbling away again—I just miss my teacher a bit too much!"

The National Master shook his head and smiled bitterly without pursuing the matter of Dong Zhao advising Xu Jin.

"Little Dong’s choice isn’t bad either. The Warm Dream Star Pattern has the highest potential for growth. The stronger the cultivation, the more useful it becomes. The other two Divine Soul Star Patterns would greatly aid you at your current stage, so it’s up to you to decide," the National Master also directly said.

"Thank you, National Master, thank you, Mountain Master. I choose Warm Dream!"

Mountain Master Dong Zhao, even under the National Master’s stern gaze, had given a hint for the choice. If Xu Jin still didn’t know which one to choose, he would truly be foolish.

Hearing this, the National Master took out a piece of Jade, handed it to Xu Jin, and said solemnly, "This Warm Dream Star Pattern is a precious Star Pattern that was passed down from my master and is unique. You can learn it yourself, but you must not teach it to anyone!

If without my permission, you were to teach this Warm Dream Star Pattern to someone else, I myself would take action to eradicate you all! Including you and the person you taught. Understand?" While speaking, the National Master cast a glance at Dong Zhao.
