Chapter 1699: Chapter 699: Minimum Requirements (Part 2)
And Xu Jin, he doesn’t look like a fool. That relationship with True Monarch...
In the future, naturally he must be specially attended to, even...cared for.
"Speaking of the Star River Island Secret Realm Enlightenment, there are 15 days in total. When Mr. Xu wants to go for enlightenment, he can directly come to the Spiritual Resources Institute to find me. I will activate the Transmission Array to send you there.
Principally, it requires one-time consumption, after all, opening the Teleportation Array consumes a substantial amount of Star Power.
However, if Mr. Xu has special circumstances, dividing it into two or three times is also possible; at that time, it still depends on Mr. Xu’s intent." Liou Gaoyang said.
"Thank you, Star Lord Liou, for your care."
"Mr. Xu, you are too courteous."
Liou Gaoyang clasped his hands and continued, "Speaking of the opportunity for enlightenment with the True Monarch Blood Crystal and the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm, within ten years, you get two chances.
However, a Taoist must know that regardless of the True Monarch Blood Crystal or the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm enlightenment, there are minimum requirements."
"Minimum requirements?" Xu Jin was a bit confused.
"Yes, whether it’s the True Monarch Blood Crystal or Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm, both are extremely valuable. To prevent waste, the True Monarch Central Conference has decided that cultivation level must reach the Peak of Ninth Rank, touching the threshold of practicing the Dao, to apply for the enlightenment opportunity with the True Monarch Blood Crystal, with an interval of one year between each enlightenment.
The opportunity for enlightenment with the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm requires successful Dao practice and breaking through to the Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch to apply, and each enlightenment interval must be no less than one year." Liou Gaoyang said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Jin’s expression subtly changed. This rule was incredibly unfriendly to him.
Breaking through to the Peak of Ninth Rank and Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch within ten years is quite challenging.
Not to mention the difficulty of enlightenment, merely accumulating Star Power requires a lot of time.
At present, he frowned and asked, "Star Lord Liou, is this rule mandatory?
Moreover, according to these requirements, using all four opportunities takes at least three years. Are these three years within my ten-year Taoist term?"
"Mr. Xu, this is precisely the key point I wanted to discuss with you today.
You should know that the treatment duration for a Taoist identity is only ten years.
Most extraordinarily talented Taoists could reach the Peak of Ninth Rank and even break through to Little Star Monarch within ten years, allowing them to receive rewards unimpeded.
However, Mr. Xu, whose talent is extraordinary, achieved First-class treatment at the Early Period of Eighth Rank cultivation.
This is the first instance in the history of Dongxuan Dao Palace, but it’s not without precedent.
For instance, the prodigy Guan Zhen from thirty years ago received First-class Taoist treatment with Late Period Eighth Rank cultivation.
His choice at the time was to slightly control his cultivation progress, preventing breakthrough to Late Period Ninth Rank within ten years. At that time, he didn’t need to participate in the Taoist selection again; the Dao Palace automatically extended his Taoist identity for another ten years and First-class Taoist treatment for another ten years.
His cultivation has now broken through to Great Star Monarch, with potential to become a True Monarch in the future.
My personal suggestion is that Mr. Xu could follow this path!" Liou Gaoyang said, "Not to mention the others, securing ten more years of Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixir, All Heaven Star Dew, Green Lotus Moonlight Elixir, is more advantageous.
Even generally speaking, the Star Monarch Mansion cannot afford First-class Taoist treatment, especially the All Heaven Star Dew.
No secret, as the Star Lord, I only receive five drops of All Heaven Star Dew per year.
With my position as the Star Monarch, my annual quota is three drops, and as the Mansion Master of the Spiritual Resources Mansion, I receive two drops as annual salary." Liou Gaoyang said with a bitter smile.
"So little?"
"It’s not little at all; one drop equates to half a month of my hard cultivation."
Xu Jin’s brows furrowed even more tightly; the path indicated by Liou Gaoyang was not without merit.
Incidentally, he could fleece some wool from the Dongxuan Star Realm.
But Xu Jin feels the time span is too lengthy.
Twenty years!
He has only cultivated for a few years!
Moreover, he must control the speed of his cultivation, ensuring he reaches Late Period Ninth Rank after ten years, with absolutely no exceeding.
"Star Lord Liou, is there any other method?" Xu Jin asked.
"This...principally no, but practically, there may be." Liou Gaoyang said.
"How so?"
"If you’ve reached the threshold of practicing the Dao or successfully practiced the Dao, like Yuan Chengfa Mr. Yuan, you may apply for a special approval, and generally speaking, the True Monarch Central Conference will approve it.
Hmm, just recently, Yuan Chengfa Mr. Yuan has applied for special approval to enlighten with the Blood Crystal." Liou Gaoyang said.
"Was it approved?" Xu Jin pursued.
"Certainly not that fast! The True Monarch Central Conference convenes once a month, this month’s conference is still some time away." Liou Gaoming said.
"Understood, thank you for the insight."
After expressing gratitude, Xu Jin got up, a faint wrinkle appearing between his brows.
He initially thought that after receiving treatment, he could immediately secure the enlightenment opportunities with the True Monarch Blood Crystal and Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm, but unexpectedly, so many conditions were attached.
Everything else is negotiable, even the Dao practice, which Xu Jin is confident in.
However, breaking through in cultivation requires time.
Meanwhile, Xu Jin must complete the first step of Body Refinement at Eighth Rank.
Achieving Peak Ninth Rank, and even breaking through to Little Star Monarch within seven years, becomes exceedingly difficult.
Liou Gaoyang, commanding the Spiritual Resources Mansion, is naturally insightful; just from the changes in Xu Jin’s expression, he discerned many issues.
Before Xu Jin left, Liou Gaoyang suddenly said, "Mr. Xu, may I indulge in a word?"
"Please speak, Star Lord Liou."
"Mr. Xu, enjoying First-class Taoist treatment, and performing outstandingly in the Taoist ranking battle, if you wish to rapidly enhance cultivation, yet lack cultivation resources, you may preemptively draw on one year’s cultivation materials from our Spiritual Resources Mansion.
Of course, the premise is under my management of the Spiritual Resources Mansion." Liou Gaoyang said.
Hearing this, Xu Jin’s eyes lit up with joy, expressing gratitude to Liou Gaoyang once more, and then left.
Watching Xu Jin’s departing figure, Liou Gaoyang’s face was filled with a smile.
Whether or not there will be preemption in the future, a good relationship has been established here.
He has fostered many of these relationships.
At least a hundred.
In the future, if even one or two achieve True Monarch status...
That would be an immensely profitable arrangement.
Connections with True Monarch experts are beyond measure in value.

Leaving the Spiritual Resources Mansion, Xu Jin headed straight to his Taoist Mansion.
The ranking of Taoist Mansions follows the Taoist sequence, labeled as the third Upper Grade Taoist Mansion.
Taoist Mansion standards are divided into upper, middle, and lower grades.
Even the low-grade Taoist Mansion has two courtyards.
While the upper-grade Taoist Mansion has four courtyards, with numerous rooms, numbering over a hundred, and covering more than ten acres.
This aspect is sufficiently luxurious.
Big enough, just slightly cumbersome to manage.
Upon arrival, only two Eighth-rank Dao Palace Guards were present; otherwise, the grand mansion appeared empty, yet it was peaceful.
"I want to cultivate, don’t disturb me."
Casually instructing, Xu Jin eagerly found a room, entrusting the guard to the little white tiger, immediately beginning cultivation.
Although he roughly knew the effects of the pills distributed by the Dao Palace.
Only by personally experiencing their usage can he truly ascertain their specific efficacy and devise a cultivation plan!
Xu Jin first swallowed a Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixir.
This is one of Dongxuan Dao Palace’s relatively advanced and precious pills.
The pill entered his stomach, transforming into surging Star Power and dispersing, while Xu Jin simultaneously summoned his natal star’s starlight, initiating the refining of the Star Tower.
Upon beginning the refining of the Star Tower, Xu Jin suddenly recalled the matter of Star Tower division.
Whether to divide the tower and its advantages, Xu Jin plans to consult Master Fenghua Emperor.
Additionally, now there’s another consultation target: True Monarch Tianzhang!
Relationships are fostered through encountering problems!
The less you trouble others, the fewer relationships you build.
Like between True Monarch Tianzhang and Xu Jin, without substantial ties, True Monarch Tianzhang unexpectedly asks Xu Jin for a favor—doesn’t that build a relationship?
With the exchange back and forth, as long as one doesn’t completely deplete human resources or lose value, relationships deepen.
Considering while cultivating, Xu Jin earnestly used the Dongxuan Order to consult with True Monarch Tianzhang about the pros and cons of Star Tower division.
Without directly consulting whether to divide, but rather the merits and long-term impacts on future Dao paths and combat power.
Questions mustn’t be too straightforward and simplistic.
Otherwise, you risk being completely seen through!
