Chapter 895: Chapter 358: Absurd Investment Plan_2
In the Huashi Star Domain, there exists the Earth Spirit Clan and the Rock Armor Clan. Xu Jin initially intended to inquire about the Earth Dragon Ganoderma from the Domain Master Ji Cheng before leaving, to see if he could find it.
Unexpectedly, the spoils of war already included it all.
Not only was there Earth Dragon Ganoderma, but also Fiery Sun Jade Marrow and Lapis Lazuli.
Both Fiery Sun Jade Marrow and Lapis Lazuli are materials of the same tier as the Red Sparrow Feather and Earth Dragon Ganoderma, which can also be used to enhance Star Patterns.
Fiery Sun Jade Marrow is even slightly stronger than Red Sparrow Feather.
These materials are all top-tier heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
They are extremely precious for bartering in the Galaxy Battlefield.
A few breaths later, Xu Jin took all the Earth Dragon Ganoderma and Fiery Sun Jade Marrow. Among them, there were eleven portions of Earth Dragon Ganoderma and nine portions of Fiery Sun Jade Marrow. Additionally, he took seven to eight exotic treasures, and besides that, Xu Jin also took away a hundred pieces of Sixth Rank Star Jade.
That was enough.
Although Xu Jin’s contribution was significant, taking more would be too greedy.
After all, the items Xu Jin took were priceless treasures.
As for the Lapis Lazuli, Xu Jin let Ning Yuchan take it.
Ning Yuchan took seven portions of Lapis Lazuli and a thousand pieces of Fifth Order Star Jade Tablet. Then it was Ji Hongli’s turn to select some items, and lastly, Hou Yunzhang, Li Zhen, and others shared the remaining.
After giving some instructions, Xu Jin did not leave immediately but first went to his father’s courtyard in the Domain Master Mansion.
Before leaving, he still had a few things to say.
He also needed to check on Jiang’er.
Especially Jiang’er, who is now Xu Jin’s key cultivation target!
She is the key figure for continuously obtaining Gold Star and Bright Star in the future.
"You have something to handle and need to go? Then go ahead. With us here, everything is fine, don’t worry." Xu Dajiang said understandingly upon hearing that Xu Jin was leaving.
Afterward, Xu Jin began to assess Jiang’er’s cultivation progress.
The first thing to check was naturally the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
The result was a delightful surprise for Xu Jin; she mastered it!
Jiang’er had successfully imprinted the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
And Xu Jin had only taught Jiang’er once, but in her dreams, he had instructed her dozens, nearly a hundred times.
However, the time consumed in the dreams was much less.
Compared to when Qi Shanye taught Xu Jin the Clearing Soul Star Pattern, it was several tens of times simpler.
Qi Shanye had painstakingly guided Xu Jin to engrave the Clearing Soul Star Pattern over ten days, and only then did Xu Jin barely learn it.
And Qi Shanye had already hailed Xu Jin as a genius.
Because in the Lingji Star Hall, even a genius would require daily instruction from a master for a month to learn the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
Due to its difficulty, not everyone in the Lingji Star Hall could learn the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
Not just because Lingji Star Hall didn’t offer it.
But because the teaching difficulty was too high.
It required a teacher to hand-hold and use Divine Soul Power to engrave it on the disciple’s fragile Divine Soul in the Upper Star Palace. A single misstep could grievously harm the disciple’s Divine Soul; those with lesser talent simply couldn’t learn it.
But now, Xu Jin had solved this problem.
The Warm Dream Star Pattern was truly extraordinary.
This Star Pattern, innovated by State Preceptor Cheng Yuexiao’s teacher Mao Yan, was incredibly formidable.
If the Lingji Star Hall hadn’t perished for several more decades, and they had learned the Warm Dream Star Pattern and continued to extrapolate it to a certain degree, the Lingji Star Hall would have soon seen a massive surge in power!
Having learned the most difficult Clearing Soul Star Pattern.
The rest would be much easier.
To expedite Jiang’er’s learning progress further, Xu Jin once again used Warm Dream, teaching Jiang’er the Mingji Star Pattern in her dreams.
"Jiang’er, this Clearing Soul Star Pattern and Mingji Star Pattern must not be disclosed to anyone. Besides me, not even to father! If mentioned, it could lead to mortal danger, the kind where the entire family perishes, understand?" Xu Jin instructed.
"Brother, I understand!"
Jiang’er nodded heavily.
Previously, Jiang’er’s abduction had quickly spurred her growth.
Now, she was quite aware of matters, understanding the gravity of situations.
Just a few words would etch them in her heart!
"The second matter, these Breaking Evil Star Pattern, Guicang Star Pattern, Elephant Concealing Star Pattern, Small Star Gathering Pattern, and Thunder Origin Star Pattern are to be practiced well after your Star Casting, making sure to engrave the Star Patterns perfectly before elevating your cultivation level.
Remember, when your cultivation in both Upper and Lower Star Palaces has broken through to the Third-tier First Layer Peak of Star Refining, you must not continue cultivation and should come to find me.
At that time, approach Domain Master Ji Cheng and mention it’s urgent; he can contact me," Xu Jin said.
"Um, I remember, don’t worry, brother!"
"Take these pills, I’ve explained the method of consumption in the Jade, and do not mention it to anyone." Xu Jin instructed.
The pills left by Xu Jin included one Three Treasures Calming God Golden Pill, two Three Treasures Refining God Golden Pills, and ten Three Treasures Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.
These pills were enough for Jiang’er to breakthrough his Divine Soul Cultivation to the Fourth Tier.
One of the Three Treasures Refining God Golden Pills was for Jiang’er to use when breaking through to the Fourth-tier Divine Soul Cultivation.
With this, Xu Jin had completely used all his Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.
He would need to purchase some for nourishment soon.
Meanwhile, as Xu Jin was instructing Jiang’er.
Ji Hongli was also bidding farewell to his father Ji Cheng.
"Father, I feel like Senior Brother and Senior Sister Ning seem..."
In his study, Ji Hongli was somewhat gloomy.
As a woman, intuition can be astonishing.
Especially in the past ten days, Xu Jin, Ji Hongli, and Ning Yuchan were all in the relatively small space of the Altar Sky Road.
Ji Hongli had already noticed something.
"What, do you want to compete?
Or monopolize?"
Ji Cheng looked at his daughter and sighed silently. If she married an ordinary talent, he could guarantee that this person could only marry Ji Hongli.
If he dared to marry more, he’d break his leg.
If he did it again, he’d break it again!
Unfortunately, Ji Hongli fancied someone like Xu Jin, who was a dragon among men.
Not only a dragon among men, but also a once-in-a-century peerless talent.
Such a peerless talent was not someone the Ji Family could control.
Nor was Ji Hongli able to control him.
"Father, I don’t intend to compete, it’s just that I’m feeling uncomfortable, feeling..."
"It’s normal; everyone has a sense of possession. But you will understand later. Right now, you only need to do one thing."
"What is it?" Ji Hongli asked in surprise.
"Follow in his footsteps; don’t let yourself be left too far behind. Only then can you stand by his side and become his closest companion!
Otherwise, you can only be a vase, only staying home to support your husband and raise children!
Just like...your mother!"
Ji Cheng’s words startled Ji Hongli.
Nineteen years ago, when Ji Cheng came to Huashi Star Domain, Ji Hongli’s mother was only at the Third Tier cultivation level and couldn’t follow Ji Cheng. The ones by his side were his other two wives, both at the Fifth Tier.
One of them died in battle when Ji Cheng was developing Huashi Star Domain.
To this day, in the Domain Master’s Mansion at Huashi Star Domain, the deceased wife remained the nominal First Lady.
Though Ji Hongli’s mother came to accompany Ji Cheng after things stabilized in Huashi Star Domain.
Their relationship, ultimately, fell short compared to that of the Third Lady who fought alongside Ji Cheng.
This situation extended in various directions!
"Do you understand?"
After a while, Ji Cheng softly asked the contemplative Ji Hongli.
"I know what I should do now; from this day forward, I’ll intensify my cultivation, and I can’t be as complacent as I was before." Ji Hongli said.
"It’s not only about your cultivation! Starting today, the family’s support for you will be doubled again!
The family will leverage all sorts of connections and gather heavenly materials and earthly treasures at any cost to enhance your cultivation, allowing you to follow his pace.
You have a naturally high talent, with the family’s vast support and your own dedication, you won’t fall behind, nor be left far behind by him, understood?" Ji Cheng said.
After a few breaths, Ji Hongli nodded heavily.
"Alright, go prepare, see your mother, have a conversation! After a while, you should leave with him."
Watching Ji Hongli’s departing figure, Ji Cheng then activated his privilege as the Star-picking Tower Branch Master, directly spanning across the Galaxy Battlefield to send a starlight transmission to his father Ji Bang.
[Father, I’ve agreed to your outrageous investment plan. We’ll pour seventy percent of the current and seventy percent of future family revenues into Hongli, hoping she can follow Xu Jin’s footsteps.]
After a few breaths, a starlight transmission came back.
[Hmph, you’ve finally witnessed Xu Jin’s potential, haven’t you? You didn’t believe in your father’s foresight before, you brat!]
[Yes, you are wise, Father!]
