Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 43 - 39 Breakthrough Again
43: Chapter 39: Breakthrough Again
43 -39: Breakthrough Again
The One Halo Star Refilling Pill had barely settled in Xu Jin’s stomach for three breaths when its drug efficacy immediately transformed into a torrent of Star Power flooding into his Star Patterns.
Xu Jin’s depleted Star Patterns were being rapidly filled.
Ten breaths later, Xu Jin’s complexion changed.
His Star Patterns had been filled with Star Power, but the power of the One Halo Star Refilling Pill was still dispersing.
The Star Patterns wouldn’t burst, would they?
The next instant, Xu Jin darted out like a rabbit and executed the Five Battles Killing Fist at his fastest speed.
If the Star Patterns didn’t burst, then it would be Xu Jin who would explode!
He used a basic Star Shield, one by one, to consume the overflowing Star Power that was still being poured into his Star Patterns.
After four successive basic Star Shields, the power of the One Halo Star Refilling Pill dissipated and Xu Jin’s Small Star Gathering Pattern was still brimming.
The test basically yielded results.
It doubled.
The efficacy of the Nourished Star Refilling Pill was doubled.
This enhancement effect was simply phenomenal.
In an instant, a multitude of ideas flooded Xu Jin’s mind.
Buying a bottle of Pills in the future and nourishing it for a day would essentially be like buying two bottles.
A great tool for cultivation!
Unfortunately, only one pill could be nourished in a day.
But soon, Xu Jin realized.
The greatest value of nourishing pills on the Can Dou Platform wasn’t for common pills, but for those with unique and extremely rare effects.
The first thing Xu Jin thought of was the Mental-locking Golden Pill, the prime reward for engraving the Great Gathering Star Pattern.
He had to be the first in the Great Gathering Star Pattern, then secure this Mental-locking Golden Pill.
By then, even if only one Star Halo was nourished, it would be as if Xu Jin had taken two Mental-locking Golden Pills.
Others might not even get one, but Xu Jin would have the equivalent of two.
The nourishing effect on the Can Dou Platform was truly incredible.
Xu Jin’s mind delved into the Can Dou Platform, looking at the Star Refilling Pill being nourished under the Can Dou Platform Star Lamp, and new questions arose.
Could this nourishment also work on other items?
And, did this nourishing have an upper limit?
If so, how much was it?
With six more Star Refilling Pills on hand, Xu Jin decided to use them as samples to thoroughly investigate.
With the investigation clear, things would be easier later.
The next moment, the sound of punches tearing through the air resonated once more.
With the Star Power in his Star Patterns full, was he supposed to keep it for breeding purposes?
After repeating the Five Battles Killing Fist eight times, Xu Jin originally wanted to end his cultivation when he suddenly discovered that the starlight on his left arm had already extended to his wrist.
In the two days of consolidating the Small Star Gathering Pattern, Xu Jin’s Body Refining progress had surged dramatically, not to mention the doubled number of cultivation times and the daily replenishment of starlight.
Today, he had also consumed two Star Refilling Pills, including one nourished one.
Thinking about how Tian Zhang had even brought in death-row prisoners today for them to see blood and practice, Xu Jin realized the urgency of the situation.
Might as well go all out and continue training.
After swallowing a Rejuvenation Pill, and shortly after his Star Power was restored, he continued with the Five Battles Killing Fist.
After eight repetitions of the Five Battles Killing Fist, Xu Jin immediately swallowed another Star Refilling Pill and then continued with another five repetitions of the Five Battles Killing Fist, after which he swallowed another Star Refilling Pill.
When striking for the third repetition, a whooshing sound pierced the air, and Xu Jin’s punching directly unleashed a Star Arrow.
The Star Arrow dissipated three meters away from his body.
Xu Jin focused and saw that the starlight had completely covered his left hand.
Dining Dawn Third Layer, breakthrough!
Seeing this, Xu Jin excitedly swung his fist.
In less than three days, merely two and a half days, he had broken through from Dining Dawn Second Layer to Dining Dawn Third Layer.
Next, it was time to refine his legs.
If the Body Refining time for his legs was three times that of his arms, Xu Jin set another goal for himself.
Ten days later, Dining Dawn Fourth Layer.
Twenty days later, Dining Dawn Fifth Layer.
Half an hour later, Xu Jin returned to his room, and just as he settled down cross-legged and shut the door, it opened on its own.
Xu Jin rolled his eyes, arriving right on time.
This green-clothed man must be nearby, always observing every move Xu Jin made.
But what could be done about it?
Xu Jin knew the green-clothed man was nearby, but couldn’t locate him.
Xu Jin considered secretly reporting this to Ning Yuchan.
Xu Jin believed, Ning Yuchan would definitely help him.
But firstly, this green-clothed man didn’t seem to have any intentions of harming Xu Jin for now, and more importantly, Xu Jin was worried that Ning Yuchan might not be able to deal with this green-clothed man.
Whether Mountain Master Dong Zhao was a match for him, Xu Jin had no idea.
But Mountain Master Dong Zhao couldn’t possibly protect him at all times.
With the green-clothed man’s abilities to hide and appear stealthily, the Taoist Institute’s seals were as if they were non-existent, allowing him to sneak in and kill Xu Jin at any time.
Therefore, Xu Jin decided to keep cooperating and see how things would unfold.
“You’re very dedicated to your cultivation, already reaching the third layer of Dining Dawn; quite impressive.” Qi Shanye’s tone seemed teasing, yet there was an indiscernible and inexplicable meaning within.
“Can I afford not to be diligent?
My father has already given his all to help me; the rest of the path I must fight through on my own,” Xu Jin said.
“Am I not here for you?”
While saying this, Qi Shanye, as if presenting a treasure, brought a Rejuvenation Pill to Xu Jin’s lips.
Xu Jin swallowed it without hesitation, “What are you to me?
Your origins are unclear; I don’t even know if you’re human or a ghost, so I dare not rely on you heedlessly!”
Qi Shanye looked embarrassed.
His identity, indeed, was not suitable to be revealed now, but this young man was really something.
He had just taken his pill and started scolding him.
Thirty taels each, and he had even borrowed the silver.
Such unfilial behavior!
“Focus on the Upper Star Palace, continue to engrave the Clearing Soul Star Pattern,” Qi Shanye’s voice rose, his Divine Soul Power, warm and gentle, surged into Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace.
However, Xu Jin felt that today the Divine Soul Power Qi Shanye sent into his Upper Star Palace was stronger than yesterday.
More precisely, over these four days, the Divine Soul Power Qi Shanye infused into his Upper Star Palace was stronger with each passing day.
On the first day, it felt like a drip of water, the second day like water forming a line, the third day the line gathered into a stream, and today, the Divine Soul Power entering Xu Jin’s Upper Star Palace felt like a gentle stream.
It was strengthening daily.
Counting today, Qi Shanye had already been assisting him for four days straight, and Xu Jin, who was naturally astute, had actually memorized the Clearing Soul Star Pattern long ago.
However, what was peculiar was that the Clearing Soul Star Pattern appeared to have no effect when Xu Jin tried to engrave it himself.
He had even attempted to engrave it inside a Star Lamp, but not only did he fail to succeed, he couldn’t even get it to take shape.
It was very strange.
An hour later, Xu Jin’s power of Divine Soul was drained dry.
He thought it was over, but unexpectedly, Qi Shanye gave him another Rejuvenation Pill.
“Weren’t consecutive doses said to be ineffective?” Xu Jin asked.
“It’s not that consecutive doses are ineffective, but rather, the efficacy of the medicine dramatically decreases when taken continuously over a short period.
The second pill will probably only have half the effect of the first, and a third pill would at most have only one-tenth the effect of the first.
A fourth pill would essentially be ineffective,” Qi Shanye explained.
“So, what about you?”
“I won’t have time tomorrow; we must ensure that the Clearing Soul Star Pattern takes a rudimentary shape first.
If we interrupt now, it would all be in vain,” Qi Shanye said.
Xu Jin was moved and tentatively asked, “Are you leaving?”
Qi Shanye saw through Xu Jin’s little thought at a glance, “It’s not that I won’t have time, it’s that you won’t.”
Xu Jin was stunned; indeed, this mysterious person knew something.
“Stop asking, hurry up and continue your cultivation; you’ll find out tomorrow,” Qi Shanye urged.
Xu Jin could only swallow the pill.
Half an hour later, Xu Jin’s head was splitting in pain.
Indeed, the effect of this second Rejuvenation Pill was only half.
Such consecutive consumption was a bit extravagant.
“Alright, the Clearing Soul Star Pattern in your Upper Star Palace has now initially taken shape, but it’s only a rudimentary form; the rest is up to you.” After helping Xu Jin engrave the Star Pattern for one and a half hours, Qi Shanye sounded very fatigued.
“Remember, starting from tomorrow, every twelve hours, you must take time to focus on your Upper Star Palace for 15 minutes.
If possible, do it every six hours; that way, the time it takes for your Clearing Soul Star Pattern te compete will also be reduced,” Qi Shanye instructed.
“How long will this need to be maintained, or rather, when will the Clearing Soul Star Pattern be completely finished?” Xu Jin asked.
“At least half a month, or at most a month.
If it’s done, then it’s done; you’ll realize it yourself.
Moreover, the Clearing Soul Star Pattern in your Upper Star Palace has already started to take shape and has some potency.
You’ll be able to feel it tomorrow,” Qi Shanye explained.
“What feeling?” Xu Jin pressed on.
“You’ll find out for yourself tomorrow morning.”
Xu Jin was helpless; this was really…
“Here, take these for the next few days.”
As he spoke, Qi Shanye handed Xu Jin three bottles of pills; Xu Jin looked and saw one bottle was an unidentifiable powder, the second was a Star Refilling Pill, and the third was a Rejuvenation Pill, all full bottles.
Xu Jin’s eyes widened; this was quite generous!

That was 500 taels of silver worth of generosity.
Somewhat perplexed, he turned to look at Qi Shanye.
Qi Shanye also actively dispelled the green light covering his face, revealing his true appearance.
A slightly long face with square features, long eyebrows like rods, quite black, and a beard of tough stubble on his face, bearing a hint of sternness amidst his weathered look.
“That powder is top-notch antiseptic medicine, effective for both internal and external injuries before Star Casting.
As for the other two, use them as you see fit, don’t be stingy; these things are meant to be consumed,” Qi Shanye instructed.
Xu Jin was dumbfounded, feeling somewhat unable to wrap his head around this.
He had always thought Qi Shanye might be some grand demon or something; now, suddenly being kind to him felt…
“Why are you suddenly giving me so many pills?” Xu Jin asked.
Smack!
A slap landed on his head, causing a buzzing sound, “Just take them, why all the nonsense?
Don’t you know it’s improper to refuse a gift from an elder?”
Xu Jin really wanted to say you’re not an elder, but thinking of the smack that left his head ringing, he decided not to.
“Also take these four Star Emblems.
This shiniest one is for attack, called the Dawn Emblem.
If you encounter an invincible enemy, input Star Power and throw it at the target.
The two darker ones are called Concealing Emblems.
When you need to hide, find a suitable place, activate it, and for 15 minutes, the enemy won’t be able to find you.
They work less effectively during the day but excellently at the night.”
Xu Jin’s eyes widened again.
Emblems?
What are these things?
And why is this mysterious person suddenly being so nice to him?
Very uncustomary.
