Chapter 1497: Chapter 606: Trial
April 21, Seven Killings Palace.
Xu Jin stayed in the Seven Killings Star Domain for three days.
In fact, for the spiritual medicine needed for cultivation, Xu Jin spent only half a day to refine and upgrade it.
He refined and upgraded a total of thirty Eighth-rank spiritual medicines and transformed fifty Sixth-rank spiritual medicines into Seventh-rank spiritual medicines. At the same time, he upgraded all the Divine Soul-type spiritual medicines he had.
Notably, the only Seventh-rank Divine Soul-type spiritual medicine was refined by Xu Jin using three Divine Dao Golden Pearls, upgrading it to an Eighth-rank Divine Soul-type spiritual medicine.
This is also the only Eighth-rank Divine Soul-type spiritual medicine Xu Jin has seen so far.
Xu Jin did not rush to refine it.
Currently, with Xu Jin’s Primordial Spirit Embryo Light radiating over a hundred meters, the effect of taking the Seventh-rank Divine Soul-type spiritual medicine has become very weak.
The effect of the Eighth-rank is not clear to Xu Jin either.
With only one piece, he dared not waste it.
He stayed for two and a half extra days mainly to nurture Hou Yunzhang, Tan Zhi, and others.
Within the Seven Killings Star Domain, the earliest alien race to break through the Seventh Rank had reached the Third Layer of the Seventh Rank cultivation.
Hou Yunzhang’s cultivation was barely at the Third Layer of the Seventh Rank.
As the manager guarding the Star Domain, he must possess strong strength.
During these three days, Xu Jin gave Hou Yunzhang plenty of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, as well as a low-grade Seven-Star Spiritual Armor.
This quickly increased Hou Yunzhang’s cultivation to the Fifth Layer of the Seventh Rank, and his Primordial Spirit cultivation directly soared to the late Fifth Rank.
But the real improvement came from these three days, during which Hou Yunzhang successfully comprehended several Eighth-rank Star Patterns, especially those related to elephants.
This greatly enhanced his combat power.
To say without reservation, Hou Yunzhang now possesses at least early Eighth-rank combat power.
If combined with the Heaven and Earth Authority granted by Xu Jin, even a mid Eighth-rank opponent can be defeated in the Seven Killings Star Domain.
In the future, given a bit more time to grow, as long as the Seven Killings Star Domain doesn’t encounter a Ninth Rank, Hou Yunzhang will be able to handle it.
"Alright, this round of cultivation ends here. You all should return and continue your secluded cultivation well."
As Xu Jin’s voice rang out, those who were in secluded cultivation, led by Hou Yunzhang, stood up one by one despite their lingering desire.
Under Hou Yunzhang’s lead, they respectfully bowed to Xu Jin, took five careful steps back, and then turned to leave.
Initially, Xu Jin didn’t ask them to worship the Divine Statue.
But over time, subtly and imperceptibly, they began to worship the Divine Statue on their own.
Therefore, their awe for Xu Jin grew deeper.
It’s not just like a deity.
In their hearts, Xu Jin has already been regarded as a deity.
After sending these people off, Xu Jin immediately summoned the Thousand Star Token from within his body.
It’s time to exchange for some more points.
Then use the points as deemed appropriate.
Previously, when sweeping through the Sixth-rank Star Domain, Xu Jin had exchanged points once, bringing the points of the Thousand Star Token back to over two thousand.
But the harvest from the Seventh-rank Star Domain has not yet been exchanged.
With the various resources harvested from the Seventh-rank Star Domain, Xu Jin, now familiar with the exchange rules of the Thousand Star Token, can basically estimate them.
The harvest from the Seventh-rank Star Domain, especially concerning the exchange with the Thousand Star Token, is several times greater than the Sixth-rank Star Domain.
Countless Sixth-rank Star Domains only yielded a little over two thousand points.
But Xu Jin estimates a single Seventh-rank Star Domain can yield at least a thousand points.
Some Star Domains can even give Xu Jin over 1,200 points.
The main reason is that more Star Cores were obtained.
The Seventh-rank aliens in the Sixth-rank Star Domain number about ten, but the Seventh-rank Star Domain has at least fifty or more, including Eighth-rank aliens.
The smallest Star Domain has five Eighth-rank aliens.
The harvest naturally increased.
Worth mentioning is the last Star Domain, the Great Wilderness Domain, which didn’t yield much.
Only five Eighth-rank alien corpses and one Ninth-rank alien corpse were obtained.
The Star Tower was shattered completely, leaving Xu Jin with just twenty Ninth-rank Star Cores from excavating.
As his thoughts stirred, the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower within him swayed, and Star Power rushed out like a flood.
But this time, less than fifty percent of Xu Jin’s Star Power was drawn before the Thousand Star Token ceased absorbing Star Power, and the starlight enveloped all items to be exchanged. In the next instant, a beam of starlight felt only by Xu Jin shot into the sky.
The mountain-like supplies before him also disappeared completely.
This change greatly pleased Xu Jin.
Back then, when activating the Thousand Star Token, his own Star Power was insufficient, requiring loads of Star Jade for extra Star Power to activate the Thousand Star Token.
But now, the Star Power within Xu Jin can easily support two exchanges with the Thousand Star Token, with room to spare.
This reflects a significant increase in strength.
During these three days, Xu Jin wasn’t idle either. The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower within him had been cast to seventy-five layers.
At this pace, when Xu Jin’s Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower reaches one hundred and eight layers, it can easily activate the Thousand Star Token three times.
This means Xu Jin’s Star Power cultivation is already three times that of ordinary early Ninth-Rank experts.
On this basis, Xu Jin doesn’t dare claim to sweep through contemporary Ninth Rank, but exploring the Eight Desolate Continent is absolutely within his grasp.
He waited a full 15 minutes before information appeared within the Thousand Star Token.
[Command No. 765586, the items you wish to exchange have been received. After evaluation, you are eligible to receive 6,810 points from the Thousand Star Token. Below is the evaluation list.....
...
If accepted, please use Divine Thought to sign and agree to the transaction in the Thousand Star Token, and you will receive transaction points.
If not agreed...
Please make a decision within ten seconds.]
Xu Jin just took a glance and agreed.
Two Ninth-Order Star Cores, each priced at 20 points.
Compared to the Eighth-Order Star Core, the points for exchange have increased tenfold.
However, Xu Jin only exchanged for two.
These Ninth-Order Star Cores are considered rare resources.
At least for now.
The Thousand Star Token is quite greedy when it comes to collecting Star Cores, so Xu Jin thinks of saving them for potential future use.
Ultimately, Xu Jin’s total points for the Thousand Star Token reached 8966 points.
From the numbers, this is an exceptionally high score.
But if he starts spending them, it would deplete quickly.
As for upgrading the Thousand Star Token to the Third Tier, the points are insufficient, and Xu Jin is also reluctant to do so.
He’s not wealthy enough for that yet.
Then, Xu Jin meticulously browsed through the Thousand Star Token, hoping to find any cultivation manuals for sale.
However, to Xu Jin’s disappointment, the Thousand Star Token sells various cultivation resources, including Divine Dao True Intent, and even Eighth-Rank Spiritual Treasures.
But there wasn’t a trace of any cultivation manuals.
Let alone the method Xu Jin urgently needs to break through his Divine Soul Cultivation to the Sixth Tier.
There are only two possibilities: either they simply don’t sell it, or the tier of the Thousand Star Token is not high enough.
According to the Thousand Star Token’s information, Xu Jin is currently just a preparatory member of the Thousand Star Alliance.
A few moments later, Xu Jin focused his mind on the trial options available after upgrading the Thousand Star Token to the Second Tier.
According to the information provided by Right Protector Lin Mingshi, the trial is very important and highly beneficial.
But he doesn’t know the specific benefits.
Because he failed to succeed in the first challenge even after several tries.
Just when Xu Jin focused his mind on the trial options of the Thousand Star Token, a message surfaced in his mind.
[The regular trial opens on the 1st of each month, with a registration fee of 100 points. It requires Divine Soul Cultivation to reach the Fifth Layer of Primordial Spirit in the Middle Period; otherwise, you cannot participate in the trial.
Only 200,000 slots available each month, registration closes once full. Passing the regular trial allows you to become an official member, with the chance to participate in special trials from various parties.]
Seeing this message, Xu Jin was momentarily stunned.
Two hundred thousand!
Does this mean there are over 200,000 preparatory members of the Thousand Star Token?
That many?
"Could it be exaggerated advertisement, a hunger marketing strategy?"
Anyway, 100 points mean little to Xu Jin at this point; he won’t lose out either way.
With a thought, Xu Jin directly spent a hundred points to register.
Immediately, another starlight message appeared before Xu Jin.
[Number 765586 Master, congratulations on successfully registering for the regular trial on May 1st. You are the 195,326th registrant for the May trial. No matter where you are in the Star Domain, please spare some time on May 1st to participate in the regular trial.
If you miss it, registration fees will not be refunded.]
Seeing this message, Xu Jin’s eyes narrowed again.
It’s just past mid-month and yet the trial spots are almost full.
It seems that if he doesn’t pass this regular trial, he would need to register early next month.
For now, Xu Jin doesn’t have much confidence in this regular trial.
Even Mr. Lin, with his Eighth Tier Peak combat power, wasn’t bad, but on his third attempt, only managed to last five breaths.
Ten seconds, and a cultivator at the Eighth Tier Peak was eliminated.
The difficulty of this trial is evident.
Glancing at the exchangeable items list for the Thousand Star Token, Xu Jin initially intended to exchange for some needed supplies.
For example, transforming Law Stars into Origin Stars with Earth Spirit, Water Spirit, and Wood Spirit, and then exchanging for more Divine Dao True Intent to deduce several Ninth-Order Star Patterns.
But then he thought, his current priority is to consolidate the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower to the extreme.
Then use Divine Dao True Intent to deduce Star Patterns.
He decided to wait until after the trial on May 1st; perhaps he might gain some benefits then?
Otherwise, what would the Blood God Sect hierarch use to upgrade his Thousand Star Token to the Fourth Tier with?
It’s certainly not possible relying solely on points.
There must be great benefits within this trial.
So he decided to wait another ten days.
In the next moment, after giving Hou Yunzhang instructions, Xu Jin directly appeared in the far west of the Seven Killings Star Domain, and with a thought, he promptly opened the Star Gate connecting to the real world.
This Star Gate, Xu Jin had deliberately opened it 500 miles outside Jinshan County.
Having been fighting outside for so long, the first thing he naturally wanted to do was go home and have a look.
With one step, Xu Jin appeared deep within the mountains 500 miles outside Jinshan County; with another step, space fluctuated, and Xu Jin appeared in the sky above Jinshan County.
Currently, his family is in the Town Domain Royal Mansion in Jinshan County.
To avoid alarming the world, Xu Jin concealed his form and directly landed inside the Town Domain Royal Mansion in Jinshan County. Just when he was about to reveal himself, he suddenly caught a familiar fragrance in his nose.
It’s the smell of delicious food.
It’s the taste of the only delectable food Xu Jin could have during those difficult times.
"Is Jiang’er cooking?"
In surprise, Xu Jin found his way to the kitchen, and his eyes froze for a moment.
A red-dressed girl was wearing an apron, slightly bent over the stove, sketching an enticing curve while also stirring up a world full of smoke and fire.
That is the taste of home from the past!
