Chapter 407: Chapter 180: Learning the Divine Artifact (Two-in-One 9K Words Update)_5

Holding the Star-picking Order, Xu Jin ascended level by level.

Originally, as a True Inheritor disciple, he could at most reach the third layer of the Library.

But with the permissions given by the State Preceptor, Xu Jin hurried straight up to the sixth floor.

Within the sixth floor were the cultivation insights, Star Pattern derivations, and Star Skill derivations of the predecessors from the Da Chen National Daoist School.

Xu Jin casually picked up a handbook, and on one of its pages, his eyes were suddenly drawn to a section.

"Star Skill inference, for most people, is done under an established system, which is the fundamental reason for the failure of Star Skill inference or the inability to deduce high-tier Star Skills!

Existing frameworks cannot deduce high-tier Star Skills.

One must leap out of the current frameworks, boldly mixing and matching, to possibly deduce high-tier Star Skills.

Traditional frameworks, such as wind and thunder, thunder and fire, fire and wood, metal and water, metal and fire, earth and wood pairings, can all deduce mid-tier Star Skills, but why is it that so few successfully deduce high-tier Star Skills under these frameworks..."

...

Xu Jin found these contents somewhat incomprehensible yet intriguing.

However, this handbook had dozens of annotations from other predecessors.

"Alright, this theory, one of my stars has been ruined, my juniors take note that this combination is a failure..."

"This Star Pattern combination is mutually inhibiting, its power growing weaker and weaker, take note..."

Annotation after annotation, Xu Jin initially wanted to laugh, but later on, he couldn’t laugh anymore.

A simple note represented the ruining of a star, with some people even ruining several stars.

The cost was significant...

After randomly flipping through for a while, Xu Jin started studying from the most basic handbook according to the catalog provided by the State Preceptor.

"Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern Analysis"

At first, Xu Jin found it quite dull.

It reminded him of studying mathematics in his previous life.

But later, with a flash of insight, Xu Jin found the key.

This Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern Analysis was in fact taking an analytical approach, methodically breaking down and then reassembling the Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, and analyzing the purpose of every main stem and branch.

At the beginning, Xu Jin felt almost sleepy studying it.

The patterns of the Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern were many times more monotonous than mathematical formulas.

Could such twisted patterns really resonate with the profound truths of Heaven and Earth?

Wasn’t that boastful?

But once Xu Jin found the key, he realized it wasn’t boastful at all!

After outlining a section of a twisted pattern and then infusing it with Star Power, it really could evoke a trace of flame Star Power.

Normally, nobody would do this!

Because this kind of casual outlining would leave a mark in the Star Core, which would have to be cleaned up afterward.

Only a few research-obsessed individuals would specifically reserve a Star Core for such studies; most people would just look at it.

But Xu Jin could.

Xu Jin could use the Star Lamp for demonstrations.

To aid in learning.

These exceedingly monotonous patterns, once combined with practical operation, became very easy to learn.

It was like comparing theory classes with experiment classes.

The former would only excite the high-achieving students, but the latter would excite even the underachievers, although they might not be very good at it!

Once Xu Jin used the Star Lamp for learning, all the dull theories within the handbook turned into experiment classes.

What was once abandoned upon learning became mastered upon learning!

In two hours, Xu Jin had already completed two-thirds of the "Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern Analysis," not just finished but also learned, understood, and remembered it.

Previously, Xu Jin could only replicate the Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern, but now he had mastered it!

He could directly outline it in the air with Jade!

A learning Divine Artifact!

This was another new function of the Star Lamp discovered by Xu Jin—a learning Divine Artifact!

With the Can Dou Platform Star Lamp, this learning Divine Artifact, Xu Jin now saw the thousands of predecessors’ handbooks on the sixth floor of the Library of the National Daoist Institute not just as handbooks, but as a treasure trove!

This was undoubtedly the greatest wealth of the National Daoist Institute!

But for most people, obtaining this wealth was very difficult.

Even spending a lifetime might not allow one to learn half of it.

But Xu Jin could with the learning Divine Artifact.

It was just a matter of doing the experiments personally.

Incredibly fast!

After thoroughly learning two-thirds of the "Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern Analysis," the most direct result was that when Xu Jin returned to the quiet room at night, the speed of engraving the Liver Star Pattern became incredibly fast.

Xu Jin was currently engraving a Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Sixth Tier.

This Sixth Tier Star Pattern was immensely complex.

Even with a Star Lamp, Xu Jin estimated that he would need to work tirelessly for about two days to complete the engraving.

Especially now, in his current state of cultivating while learning and tirelessly working on Star Patterns, Xu Jin guessed it would take three to four days to completely finish and engrave the Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Sixth Tier Middle Rank.

But today, after learning the "Initial Tier Fire Origin Star Pattern Analysis," he had understood the principles and the variations in the Star Pattern lines, making the engraving process much faster.

In just one day, he managed to successfully engrave it, albeit with some stumbling.

At this pace, he would be able to replace the Mid-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern of the Fourth Tier Upper in the Central Star Palace by tomorrow night at the latest.

By then, his strength would absolutely see a noticeable improvement.

*****

Outside the small courtyard, the sound of Ning Yuchan’s footsteps heralded her return.

Counting the days, Ning Yuchan’s departure from the National Taoist Institute was not far off.

In three to four days, she would probably leave.

Thinking it over, Xu Jin went out to greet her; there was one last thing he needed to prepare for Ning Yuchan.

"Sister Yuchan, do you have any Life-saving Emblems left? I’ve used up all the ones you gave me last time. Could you give me a few more?" Xu Jin greeted her with a beaming smile.

"Used them all up?" Ning Yuchan asked.

"Yes, inside the Purple Wind Star Domain, if it weren’t for the Life-saving Emblems you gave me, I would have been in grave danger!

You need to give me more this time!" Xu Jin said.

Upon hearing this, Ning Yuchan, who had originally taken out five Third Tier Vortex Blade Emblems, took out three more upon hearing this remark and handed them all to Xu Jin.

"These, I made by hand. Use them sparingly! It usually takes me three to four Third Tier Star Jades to successfully make one!

Of course, when it’s a matter of life and death, you should use them!" Ning Yuchan advised.

Xu Jin took them and looked over them, fixing his gaze on Ning Yuchan, "Not enough! Give me a few more!"

This tone was rather blunt, causing even the nearby Jiang’er to shift her gaze, wanting to speak up for Xu Jin.

Yet, she held back.

After a moment’s thought, Ning Yuchan took out a Fourth Tier Emblem, "This is from the Mountain Master. You’re encountering a lot of dangers now, keep it for yourself!"

"The Rank is indeed not bad, but there are too few of them, Sister Yuchan!

Give me a few more!

Give me all the Emblems you have on you!" Xu Jin said.

"Brother, that’s too much!"

Even Jiang’er couldn’t stand by and watch anymore.

Ning Yuchan, however, shot a glare at Jiang’er, "Your brother must be facing some difficulties!" As she spoke, she took out three more Vortex Blade Emblems and handed them to Xu Jin, "That’s all I have, no more!"

"There are no more?"

"No more."

"Sister Yuchan, what will you do then?" Xu Jin asked with a playful grin.

"I still have some time. Before I leave, I should be able to make four or five more Spiral Emblems, which will be enough.

Then I will give you two more and keep three for myself," Ning Yuchan smiled.

Hearing this, Xu Jin sighed inwardly.

Ning Yuchan was truly good to him.

Before, she had helped him, and now, she was accommodating his unreasonable demands without reservation!

He really did... like it a little.

"Alright, then make them as soon as possible and give them all to me."

"Brother!" Jiang’er was both anxious and angry.

But Xu Jin turned and walked away. As he left, he sent a message to Ning Yuchan.

"Do you remember that Refining God Golden Pill that had completely different medicinal properties?

I will treat these Emblems with that secret technique, which will greatly enhance their power!

Then your safety in the Galaxy Battlefield will also be greatly increased!"

Hearing this, Ning Yuchan’s face showed surprise, then delight.

Jiang’er, however, was jumping with impatience, "Brother, you can’t do this, Sister Yuchan has only four days before she goes to the Galaxy Battlefield! If you take away her prepared Life-saving Emblems, what will she use in case of danger?"

As she spoke, Jiang’er jumped up and down, almost crying in frustration!

Xu Jin ignored her, while Ning Yuchan hugged Jiang’er and led her inside, "It’s alright, Jiang’er, you don’t need to worry about my safety!"

"Sister Yuchan!"

"How can you not scold him? And you still make excuses for him!" Jiang’er was indignant, "Isn’t this clear-cut bullying, aren’t you going to fight back?

Won’t you refuse?"

"No need, I like it!"

Jiang’er was stunned!

Ning Yuchan’s answer left her completely numb!
