Chapter 308: Chapter 149 Minglun Hall Meeting (First Update)

Before he studied the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, Xu Jin had not felt the effect of the Red Scale Heart.

But when he was fully engaged in engraving the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern under the full light of the Star Lamp, the effect of the Red Scale Heart almost burst forth, presenting itself to Xu Jin.

The Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern that Xu Jin was engraving was incredibly smooth.

After just a hundred attempts, he already succeeded once.

With Star Patterns like Whale Swallow, Rain Curtain, and Warm Dream, Xu Jin had to engrave at least two hundred times inside the Star Lamp before succeeding once.

For the Fifth Tier Middle Whale Swallow Star Pattern, inside the Star Lamp, Xu Jin had to engrave at least three hundred times before successfully completing one, with a hundred percent success rate, not until the thousandth attempt.

For the Fourth Tier Star Patterns, a hundred percent success rate typically came after six to seven hundred attempts.

However, for this Fourth Tier Upper Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, Xu Jin engraved fewer than three hundred times under the Star Lamp and had already achieved a hundred percent success rate.

It was the fastest engraving speed for any Star Pattern that Xu Jin ever had.

Even faster than the Third Tier Star Patterns.

Moreover, while engraving, Xu Jin distinctly felt the two Red Scale Hearts below his Divine Soul Star flicker as if responding to him.

At this speed, the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern that Xu Jin initially projected would take a full day to engrave, was completed in less than half a day.

That very night, he began directly engraving the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern on the first Star Halo of the Gathering Star Core at the Central Star Palace.

And at that time, the extraordinary phenomenon of the Red Scale Heart fully manifested.

The moment Xu Jin started the actual engraving of the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern on the Star Core, both Red Scale Hearts in the Upper Star Palace burst into intense red light, shimmering continuously.

Xu Jin had a premonition and his mind slightly stirred.

In the next instant, the two Red Scale Hearts appeared within Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace. Enshrouded in red light, the engraving process was exceptionally smooth and rapid.

Completed in one breath.

A Fourth Tier Upper Star Pattern was instantaneously engraved in less than 100 breaths.

Almost the instant the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern was engraved, the Gathering Star Core in Xu Jin’s Central Star Palace turned red, igniting layers of firelight, which were formidable to behold!

Looking at this scene, Xu Jin suddenly laughed.

After struggling for so long, he had finally transitioned from a blank-slate Mage to a Fire Series Mage.

Not bad.

The increase in destructive power from the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern was definitely much stronger than the initial boost provided by the Fire Spirit Protection.

However, Xu Jin also considered a potential combination that might enhance his power.

Now that he had successfully engraved the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, if he offered a Fire Spirit Star Core and then chose the Initial Tier Fire Origin Protection, could it enhance his Star Skill power?

How large could this enhancement be?

If he offered two Fire Spirit Star Cores and both selected Initial Tier Fire Origin Protection, would the effects stack?

After stacking, how much would the power increase?

This needed to be tested properly.

Upon reflection, the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm seemed unsuitable for testing since it required the cooperation of the one being tested.

Drunk Moon Immortal would be a good candidate.

Currently, she was surely within the Third Tier Martial Arts Secret Realm, and as long as Xu Jin sent her a Starlight Transmission, she would definitely help.

But this counted as a secret, and Xu Jin did not wish others to know.

Thinking it over, the God-Killing Battlefield seemed the most fitting for testing.

The enemies were numerous; currently, at the forty-ninth level, the enemies were of the Fifth Layer Refining Star, including the Top-Grade Star Casting small BOSSes. It was challenging enough for testing.

However, Xu Jin wasn’t in a hurry to enter the God-Killing Battlefield.

He began his evening class instead.

The daily morning and evening classes could not be stopped.

After consuming two First Essence Refining Star Pills and one First Essence top-grade Refining Star Pill, Xu Jin’s Mingji Star Core in the Lower Star Palace was surrounded by circulating Starlight, indicating that his Cultivation Level had reached the First Layer Peak, and he was also ready to engrave Star Patterns.

After tomorrow morning’s class, he could break through to the Second Layer Refining Star.

But Xu Jin was considering two things.

One is how to engrave the Star Patterns in the Lower Star Palace.

Currently, Xu Jin had a good number of Star Patterns on hand, with the choices including the Fourth Tier Upper Rain Curtain, the Fifth Tier Middle Whale Swallow, the Fourth Tier Upper Willow Catkins, and the Fourth Tier Upper Meteor, totaling four Star Patterns that could be chosen for engraving in the Lower Star Palace.

The first two Star Patterns were already prepared and ready for engraving.

The last two were not ready yet, but it was only a matter of a day or two.

Yet, how to engrave them was a big question.

Second, the profits from the God-Killing Battlefield must be maximized.

As his teacher Liu Qingzhu had said, the rewards from the God-Killing Battlefield could supplement the cultivation resources.

But in Xu Jin’s view, if the rewards from the God-Killing Battlefield could be truly maximized, it wouldn’t just be a supplement to the cultivation resources, but a significant portion of them.

That afternoon, Xu Jin only challenged up to the forty-ninth level in the God-Killing Battlefield not because he had reached his limit.

He was still far from reaching his limit.

He simply felt it was becoming a bit strenuous, and with his First Layer Peak’s power, he still had much room for improvement, so he chose to exit.

Based on the rules he had personally experienced previously, if Xu Jin now were to challenge the fifty-first level, then the basic rewards should be six points of Taoist Merit.

But if Xu Jin was to break through to the Second Layer Refining Star before attempting the challenge, then the basic reward was likely to decrease by one point, to five points.

Over one round, he would lose fifty-five points of Taoist Merit.

If he were to challenge another twenty or thirty levels, the loss would amount to several hundred points of Taoist Merit.

Therefore, Xu Jin planned to challenge the God-Killing Battlefield once again before breaking through to the Second Layer Refining Star tomorrow, after engraving Star Patterns in the Lower Star Palace, then he would challenge until he reached his own limit.
