Chapter 394: Chapter 177: Upper Limit (Seeking Subscriptions)

After the morning lessons on September 15, Xu Jin went to the Pill Dawn Academy as requested by the State Preceptor.

Outside the gates of the Pill Dawn Academy, Ying Ge, Ji Hongli, Niu Ju, Wang Jiugao, Bu Xutui, and others were waiting. When Xu Jin arrived, their expressions simultaneously brightened as they came forward to greet him.

"Hello, Senior Brother."

"Good morning, Senior Brother."

"Senior Brother!"

The last to approach was Ji Hongli who smiled sweetly at Xu Jin, making him feel as if the weather had become clearer.

In a recent selection battle, not only had Xu Jin established absolute authority among them, but he had also become someone they deeply trusted.

At the entrance of the hall, Chong Yu watched this scene, his gaze slightly shifting.

Xu Jin’s prestige was indeed high.

"Hey, where is Mingzhang?" Xu Jin asked.

"The State Preceptor is inside questioning him; we’ve all been questioned already, Senior Brother," Ying Ge responded.

Asking about the battle situation was to be expected.

A few moments later, Yin Mingzhang came out of the palace and, after greeting Xu Jin, he smiled at everyone, "The State Preceptor has asked us all to come inside."

"Didn’t he call for Senior Brother alone?" Ying Ge asked, surprised.

"No."

"Let’s go. The State Preceptor definitely has his plans; we should head inside," Xu Jin said, taking the lead into the Pill Dawn Palace, with Ji Hongli, Ying Ge, and the others lining up behind him.

State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao looked in good spirits as he watched his disciples enter, a faint smile on his face.

"I need not say much about the battle results; you are all more aware than I am!

But what I want to say is, you have worked hard!" State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao said to the disciples.

The disciples hastily denied deserving such praise.

"This time, you have pioneered a path for future generations of brothers and sisters!

You’ve also won supreme glory for the disciples of Dachen National Daoist School!

In the past, disciples of the Star Hall were considered representations of strength.

But this time, you’ve completely annihilated them!

The seven of you will be forever remembered by our Da Chen National Daoist School and will serve as role models for future generations," Cheng Yuxiao said.

His compliments left the disciples somewhat embarrassed, frequently glancing at Xu Jin.

Everyone was clear that, in this selection battle, the most significant thing they did was to follow Xu Jin’s command.

They had not really contributed much power.

"Last night, I discussed with several libationers and decided to reward you all substantially."

At these words, all the disciples’ eyes lit up.

Praise was only verbal, but finally, the substantial rewards had come.

"Firstly, each of you is awarded ten thousand points of Taoist Merit for your cultivation."

This first reward immediately brightened the eyes of the disciples.

Ten thousand points of Taoist Merit could significantly speed up their cultivation levels, especially for those disciples apart from Ji Hongli and Ying Ge, who came from provincial noble families and, despite receiving ample cultivation resources, still had limited support.

Of course, Xu Jin was the happiest.

With the ten thousand points of Taoist Merit, he could now freely use top-grade Star Refining Pills for cultivation.

"Secondly, starting today, each of you will be awarded ten two-hour periods per month in the Fourth-Order Star Power Secret Realm, continuing for a year," State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao announced.

This reward almost made the disciples cheer.

The cultivation effect in the Fourth-Order Star Power Secret Realm was more than thirty percent stronger than that of the Third-Order, and this was additionally given for free.

If one were to buy the time in the Fourth-Order Star Power Secret Realm from the Daoist Institute, it would cost four hundred points of Taoist Merit per two-hour period.

This was equivalent to a direct gift of fifty thousand Taoist Merit points.

It was certainly a substantial reward.

"The third reward differs slightly! Among you, who has not yet taken a Refining God Golden Pill?" State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao asked.

Immediately, five people stepped forward.

Among the seven, only Xu Jin and Ji Hongli had taken the Refining God Golden Pill.

Ying Ge had not taken it either.

"Those who haven’t taken it will be awarded one Refining God Golden Pill! Additionally, those who have taken it can choose between one Refining God Golden Pill or three Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills," said State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao to Xu Jin and Ji Hongli.

Xu Jin, having obtained a Refining God Golden Pill in the Purple Wind Star Domain, was currently nurturing it, and had another already nurtured pill, waiting for the right moment to use. After some thought, Xu Jin also chose a Refining God Golden Pill.

This pill was intended for his sister, Jiang’er, who was about to undergo Star Pointing, and he had to prepare it for her.

The immense enhancement to Divine Soul Power that benefited cultivation and combat power had already been seen by Xu Jin, and he knew he had to plan well for his sister.

Among the various pills that could boost the power of the Divine Soul, the Refining God Golden Pill was the most precious and not at all available on the market.

Even Ying Ge, the direct grandson of the Governor of Song State, could not get a Refining God Golden Pill, demonstrating its rare value.

As for the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill, he should be able to acquire a few in a few days.

Moreover, the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill should be much easier to manage than the Refining God Golden Pill.

This was a rare opportunity.

What surprised Xu Jin was that Ji Hongli also chose the Refining God Golden Pill.

"State Preceptor, although taking another Refining God Golden Pill might seem a waste, I would like to use this pill to attempt Divine Soul Star Casting," Ji Hongli said.

"That’s what you fought hard to achieve; it doesn’t matter if it seems like a waste! With your current Divine Soul Cultivation, you should be able to achieve Divine Soul Star Casting," State Preceptor Cheng Yue Xiao said.

Xu Jin looked at Ji Hongli, forcibly suppressing a thought that had crept into his mind.

Now was absolutely not the time.

Using the nurtured pill to aid Yuchan was because she was about to head to the Galaxy Battlefield; a careless moment could mean a life-and-death separation, and he had to help!
