August 27th, Da Chen National Daoist School.

After completing the morning lesson, Xu Jin didn’t rush to stand up but glanced at the Mingji Star Core of the Lower Star Palace.

Around the Mingji Star Core, dense and entangled Star Patterns had formed a Star Halo, which began to slowly rotate around the core.

Xu Jin estimated that by the end of tonight’s lesson, the Cultivation Level of the Mingji Star Core in the Lower Star Palace would reach the Peak of the First Layer of Refining Star, and he would be able to start engraving star patterns.

Tomorrow, Xu Jin’s Cultivation Level could legitimately break through to the Second Layer.

Counting from the afternoon of the 23rd when he started his cultivation under Liu Qingzhu until this morning, Xu Jin had cultivated for exactly four days.

Liu Qingzhu had predicted that it would take Xu Jin six to seven days to reach the Peak of the First Layer, but the pace of cultivation over the past two days, fueled by his full force, far exceeded Liu Qingzhu’s estimate.

The main factor was the effectiveness of the Pills from Candou Platform.

One First Essence top-grade Refining Star Pill had the effect of a non-existent Super Rank Refining Star Pill; Xu Jin took one each during the morning and evening lessons.

A regular First Essence Refining Star Pill had the effect of a top-grade Refining Star Pill. Initially, Xu Jin took one in the morning and one in the evening, but in the past two to three days, he took two in each session to speed up his cultivation.

That meant for one morning session, Xu Jin would consume three different Refining Star Pills.

Although the effect of the third pill would diminish to less than eighty percent, it was still more than sufficient for Xu Jin.

A single First Essence Refining Star Pill could increase the surrounding Starlight in the Central Star Palace by one hundred and fifty points; even with the reduction to eighty percent effectiveness, it would still add one hundred and twenty points, which was an outstanding performance.

This effect was even better than others taking top-grade Refining Star Pills.

It wasn’t a waste at all.

Under these circumstances, one and a half days later, Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace reached the Peak of the First Layer.

However, achieving and then breaking through to the Peak of the First Layer in just two and a half days was somewhat startling; therefore, Xu Jin continued to cultivate for another day and a half, bringing the Mingji Star Core of the Lower Star Palace nearly to the same level.

After breakfast, instead of heading directly to the Third Tier Star Power Secret Realm as he had done the previous days, Xu Jin made his way straight to the Feiyan Academic Hall.

Teacher Liu Qingzhu typically appeared in the Feiyan Academic Hall in the morning to handle affairs and teach the students, and was generally not there in the afternoon.

"Jiang Yuan, take these and distribute them among the sisters; there should be enough for everyone."

As soon as Xu Jin entered the Feiyan Academic Hall, he saw a girl dressed in loose clothing leaning against a column and sleeping with a bright dribble at her lips.

His shout startled the girl, causing her to jump up abruptly and then grab her broom to start sweeping.

Xu Jin noticed that the area she swept had become shiny and smooth, almost polished, while a meter away there were still leaves.

"It’s me!"

Xu Jin shouted, annoyed, and the still-groggy Jiang Yuan finally lifted her head and saw Xu Jin. She patted her flat chest, "You scared me! I thought it was the senior sisters."

"Senior brother, what’s this?" Seeing the large bag Xu Jin held, filled with fragrant pastries, Jiang Yuan’s eyes sparkled and her chubby cheeks brimmed with a smile.

"They’re for you, take them and share with the sisters; everyone gets a share."

"Okay! I’ll definitely tell them they’re from you, senior brother." Jiang Yuan dropped her broom and hurriedly carried two large bags of pastries from Wanyi’s Peach Blossom Tower towards the back, soon followed by cheers from the yard.

The Feiyan Academic Hall was actually a complex of large buildings with over twenty large hall buildings and hundreds of smaller houses; daily cleaning and sweeping were handled by the disciples in turn.

It wasn’t clear whether being a True Disciple had anything to do with it or not, but the Feiyan Hall did not assign Xu Jin to any of these chores.

Xu Jin just followed Jiang’er’s suggestion and brought some delicious treats.

Xu Jin initially didn’t want to bring them.

How much could those pastries be worth?

The sisters studying in the Feiyan Hall, even the worst off, were Inner Court Disciples, and even without the support of their families, just relying on the Taoist Merit provided by the institute, they could squeeze out enough to live comfortably.

But he had been swayed by the joint advice of Ning Yuchan and Jiang’er.

Do girls lack these little snacks?

No.

But they lack this kind of thoughtfulness.

Xu Jin had given Ning Yuchan an extra look back then.

It seemed that the snacks he’d sent before were indeed well-liked by Ning Yuchan.

The pastries were left to Jiang’er to prepare, of course, not forgetting Ning Yuchan’s share.

"Second sister, the pastries I prepared for you, from Peach Blossom Tower! Also, the others, when you see the sisters, share them out." When Xu Jin saw his second sister Tang Chuo, he handed out seven portions of pastries, one of which was extra large.

The so-called senior sisters at Feiyan Hall were core disciples taken by Liu Qingzhu last year or the year before, totaling twelve, but currently only seven were present in the hall.

"Wow, I’m just a bit hungry; I’ll start with a few pieces." Second Sister Tang Chuo, knowing the super-large portion was for her, opened it on the spot. When Xu Jin walked into the hall carrying the last bag of pastries, the huge pack containing forty pastries was almost half gone.

Well, being so tall and robust, it’s normal to have a big appetite.

And she does have a kind of cute smile, even if that goatee is quite awkward!

"Teacher, I brought a pack of pastries for you, not sure if you like them, but you can try." Stepping into the hall, Xu Jin greeted Liu Qingzhu with a bow, put down the pastries, and casually took a seat.

That’s just the relaxed atmosphere of Feiyan Academic Hall.
