Chapter 1711: Chapter 706: All or Nothing (Part 2)
Xu Jin estimates that in the fastest scenario, within half a year, he should be able to complete the initial chaos transformation of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower.
Of course, it might take longer.
A year or even two.
After all, Xu Jin is walking a path no one has walked before, with no experience to borrow from.
But Xu Jin also thought of a way to accelerate this path.
In a while, when Xu Jin receives cultivation materials from his master through the Thousand Star Token, he plans to exchange some Divine Dao True Intent and push the Space Image Star Pattern directly to the ninth tier, to see if he can break through and perform Dao.
Gathering even an extra strand each day is still a gain.
Accumulating small amounts over time.
Then, Xu Jin takes out the Gathering Star Array Plate to continue cultivating with Star Jade.
Compared to cultivating with All Heaven Star Dew, cultivating with Star Jade now feels somewhat like mosquito meat.
But mosquito meat, however little, is still mosquito meat.
The strength of small daily accumulation is the most unnoticeable great power in this world.
Otherwise, how did those two star lords with average talent in the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion reach this cultivation realm?
It’s just accumulation over the moon wheel and living long.
Although their combat power is ordinary, after all, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are tenth tier Star Monarchs, god-like existences!
After cultivating for just an hour, suddenly, the copper bell in the quiet room rang with the voice of Xu Jin’s current manager Zhu Zhuang, "Master, the Prince is visiting, how do you want to arrange it?"
"Invite him in quickly."
Xu Jin only needed to hear this to know the God of Wealth had arrived.
After all, he had just sent Starlight Transmission to Yutang King Zhu Shizhen.
Yutang King Zhu Shizhen is now considered an extremely close relation to Xu Jin, so Xu Jin directly welcomed him into the study.
"Brother-in-law."
As soon as he sat down, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen took out a large brocade box from Sumeru Space and placed it in front of Xu Jin.
"I have been preparing these things for the past few days, so it has kept you waiting, brother-in-law. Please count them first." The plump Zhu Shizhen sat down in the hall, immediately filling the chair completely.
"Mm, okay."
Xu Jin opened the brocade box with a casual gesture, and with just a glance, his gaze slightly condensed.
Using his divine thought to quickly confirm, his expression slightly changed.
"Prince, why so much?"
Upon hearing this, a pair of dimples appeared on Zhu Shizhen’s chubby face, "Brother-in-law, have you heard of the phrase ’a battle hinges on water’?"
"I think you’re more akin to betting everything on a single throw!" Xu Jin said in a deep voice.
Zhu Shizhen spread his hands and said, "Brother-in-law, whether it is ’a battle hinges on water’ or betting everything on a single throw, this is the last struggle of our Yutang the Zhu Family.
Otherwise, in twenty or thirty years at most, our Yutang the Zhu Family will be put on the table and completely divided, disappearing entirely from the Dongxuan Star Realm."
"It’s not that exaggerated, right? Your sister is still in a high-ranking position, as the Hall Master of Punishment Hall at Dongxuan Dao Palace!
That’s one of the most powerful few below the True Monarch in the Dongxuan Star Realm." Xu Jin said.
"Brother-in-law, you said ’below True Monarch’!
And our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, we don’t even have a True Monarch, let alone a Star Monarch!
My sister has no hope of breakthrough.
I am like this in talent.
No hope!
Our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion is utterly hopeless.
Now, you are our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion’s only hope, bound by the Great Dao Oath.
Betting everything on a single throw is our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion’s last choice." Zhu Shizhen explained.
Xu Jin fell silent.
Looking at the nearly twenty-three bottles of All Heaven Star Dew before him, the first reaction wasn’t joy, but pressure.
Accepting them means he will fully shoulder the future of Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion.
Previously, it was just cooperation.
"Brother-in-law, my sister told me that her All Heaven Star Dew will all be given to you in the future.
Mine will be given to you too. Anyway, my cultivation and combat power, slower by ten, eight years, doesn’t matter.
From now on, all of Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion’s yearly shares will be given to you, at least it will continue for ten years!" Zhu Shizhen stated.
"But one person’s share shouldn’t be this much, right?" Xu Jin asked, pointing at those dozen bottles of All Heaven Star Dew in surprise.
"It’s definitely not just mine.
I get two drops in the Dao Palace as a fourth-rank Dao Viscount, my title as Yutang King gives me three drops annually, and the mansion share gives me two more drops annually.
Mine, a total of seven drops, all are here.
As for the other seven drops, they are the annual salaries of the other three star lords in our Yutang the Zhu Family. Zhu Fuzhe, the Junior Monarch, gets one drop as the annual salary from the Dao Palace, another drop as a Ritual Officer in the True Monarch Mansion, Meng Yufeng and Yu Jing, both Great True Monarchs, each with two drops as the annual salary from the Dao Palace, and one drop as a Ritual Officer in the mansion." Zhu Shizhen introduced.
"But you altogether brought me twenty-three drops?" Xu Jin was astonished.
"These six drops are borrowed."
"Borrowed?" Xu Jin was puzzled.
"Brother-in-law, you know, someone like me wouldn’t store All Heaven Star Dew. But by the tenth tier, star monarchs begin storing Star Dew, especially those from ordinary backgrounds, storing to buy other supreme treasures.
All Heaven Star Dew is the hardest of hard currencies.
For instance, in our mansion, Meng Yufeng and Yu Jing, both Great True Monarchs, are elderly, with slow cultivation advancements. Over the years, they have been storing Star Dew for their children and grandchildren.
So, I borrowed from them.
For ten years!
After ten years, I will provide each one’s family a Yan Dao Pearl and two treasure materials for divine skills, so the cost isn’t huge, completely worthwhile." Zhu Yutang explained.
"What about the three extra drops and so many Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixirs?" Xu Jin asked, looking at the total of thirty bottles of Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixir.
Upon hearing this, Zhu Shizhen laughed, "Brother-in-law, compared to All Heaven Star Dew, Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixir is much easier to obtain, available on the market.
Our Yutang Royal Mansion just sold two small world star domains, exchanged for three extra drops of All Heaven Star Dew plus thirty bottles of Seven-star Profound Yellow Elixir, enough for you to use for some time."
"Sold two small world star domains?" Xu Jin was shocked.
"Yes!
Since it’s betting everything on a single throw, we must spare no expense.
These small world star domains, instead of being taken by others in a few decades, are better off being cashed in earlier to aid your growth, brother-in-law.
As long as our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion persists, everything is worth it!" Zhu Shizhen determinedly said.
Looking at the resolute Zhu Shizhen, Xu Jin felt quite shaken.
For Xu Jin’s cultivation aid, Zhu Shizhen or rather, Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, is truly breaking the pot to sell scrap iron.
"Brother-in-law, it’s just that finding buyers for the small world star domains is difficult, very few people can take over immediately, otherwise, I would think of selling dozens of domains to support you, since if not sold now, they’ll be lost later anyway." Zhu Shizhen said.
"It’s fine, enough for me to cultivate for a while.
I will accept these!
Rest assured, I, Xu Jin, will definitely not disappoint your Yutang the Zhu Family!" Xu Jin declared.
Seeing Xu Jin accept, Yutang King Zhu Shizhen visibly relaxed, letting go entirely.
Accepting is good.
He bet everything on a single throw, but if no one accepted, that would be troublesome!
"By the way, is there a high-grade Gathering Star Array Plate on your side?" Xu Jin asked.
"High-grade? Brother-in-law, in terms of array plates, the eighth tier ones are common, ninth-tier ones are rare! Even in our Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion, there is only one set of ninth-tier, which I am using!
I’ll give it to you first!
I’ll use the eighth-tier, it’s not much different!"
Upon hearing these words, Xu Jin was astonished again.
There is actually a ninth-tier Gathering Star Array Plate...
