Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1782: Chapter 740: Star Gatherer and Treasure Seeker

Millennium Thunder Copper.

This is the treasure material discovered by Little Star Monarch Xiang Zhao.

This discovery comes from another identity of Xiang Zhao — the Star Harvester.

The Star Harvester didn’t appear suddenly; it actually has always existed.

It’s an upgraded version of Mountain Seeking and Sea Exploration.

When Xu Jin was in Kunling Domain, forces frequently organized Mountain Seeking and Sea Exploration, aiming to gather Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, rare spiritual medicines.

It’s both a search for supplies and a way to get rich.

This Mountain Seeking and Sea Exploration occupation has long been established in Dongxuan Star Realm and other Star Realms.

However, the threshold for Mountain Seeking and Sea Exploration is low; anyone with a bit of cultivation can do it, but many do it, and the rewards are few.

But star harvesting is different.

The requirement for star harvesting is extremely high, with the cultivation level of a Tenth Rank Little Star Monarch merely marking the entry point, and at least a valuable private starship is needed.

Most Tenth Rank Little Star Monarchs can’t withstand the Chaotic Star Gang in the Galaxy for over 15 minutes, hence the need for the starship to traverse the Galaxy.

This high threshold makes the income of Star Harvesters substantially high.

There are many legends in the Star Realm about Star Harvesters getting rich overnight.

Xiang Zhao is indeed a Star Harvester, spending half the year on star harvesting.

He explores those untouched star domains, searching for spiritual materials, treasure materials, even innate spiritual materials, whether for personal use or to sell as All Heaven Star Dew — both are excellent options.

Of course, not everyone can achieve results in these needle-in-a-haystack-like endeavors.

But at least it’s a way to get rich.

For most Star Lords, common mundane wealth is easily obtainable, but it’s useless for cultivation.

To purchase truly high-tier cultivation resources, there’s no channel to obtain them without All Heaven Star Dew.

Take treasure materials as an example; the minimum price for a Five Elements Treasure Material is ten drops of All Heaven Star Dew, and Thunder Series starts at twenty drops.

Most Little Star Monarchs receive an annual stipend of one drop of All Heaven Star Dew, and to save up enough, it takes at least ten years to acquire one.

Thus, Star Harvesters arise in large numbers.

Choosing star harvesting offers a chance for an overnight wealth transformation.

You don’t do it?

Your harvest for the next few decades is predictable at a glance.

This Millennium Thunder Copper was discovered by Xiang Zhao last year while traversing the Galaxy on a starship for star harvesting.

He discovered it from afar in Thunder Valley within a unique small world star domain where Heavenly Thunder fell continuously and was uninhabited.

Initially, he intended to harvest it, but didn’t expect the thunder in the valley to crash down like rain; due to the incompleteness of Heaven and Earth, Chaotic Star Gang from the Galaxy fused with the Heavenly Thunder into Heavenly Thunder imbued with Chaotic Aura.

He was struck once and almost lost his life.

Using life-saving skills, he managed to leave alive and recuperated for six months before recovering from his injuries. Unexpectedly, he fell into Xu Jin’s hands and confessed this.

"Since you said this Millennium Thunder Copper is at least treasure material, and might even be innate spiritual material, why didn’t you call friends for help to harvest it?

If it’s innate spiritual material, harvesting it would probably suffice for your breakthrough to a Great Star Monarch’s cultivation resources, right?" Xu Jin asked Xiang Zhao.

Hearing this, Xiang Zhao smiled wryly, "I did want to find help, but I dared not!

The thunder falls like rain there; I was struck once at the periphery and almost lost my life.

To find help to harvest this Millennium Thunder Copper, their cultivation level must be at least a Star Monarch; even a Star Monarch might not be safe. It likely needs a Star Monarch to have a chance of accessing it.

But the problem is, would I dare cooperate with a Star Monarch?

I’m afraid two people go, but when returning, I’m gone."

Afterward, Xiang Zhao added, "Honestly, if I hadn’t met you today, I planned to sell this treasure material information soon; it might fetch two or three drops of All Heaven Star Dew."

Upon hearing, Xu Jin nodded; this statement indeed makes sense.

"So, this information, you haven’t told anyone else, right?" Xu Jin asked.

"Absolutely not! But I can’t guarantee no one else knows that location," Xiang Zhao replied.

"How so?"

"There are quite a few Star Harvesters; there’s a good chance someone else might have discovered it. Plus, when I went up, I found a skeleton on the periphery!

It must be a previous Star Harvester who died there; whether the information was spread is unknown," Xiang Zhao said.

"That’s true."

In the next moment, Xu Jin unexpectedly placed his palm on the back of Xiang Zhao’s head, initiating Warm Dream once more.

To ensure safety, Xu Jin questioned the relevant information, including the location, within Warm Dream again, confirming there was no deception before contemplating with eyes full of anticipation.

Millennium Thunder Copper is a rare treasure material. In Xu Jin’s understanding, it actually is a special, spiritually rich raw ore continually refined under various natural thunder conditions over time, eventually becoming a unique treasure material with great inclusivity and considerable power.

It’s perfect as the main material for Thunder Series Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.

If he could acquire it, the main material for Xu Jin’s Thunder Series Lifebound Spiritual Treasure would be complete, and the Innate Crystal Egg could be reserved for the even harder-to-find Space Lifebound Spiritual Treasure.

The key is its rank could potentially be higher.

Because Xiang Zhao only judged it from a distance; at worst, it’s treasure material.

But it might also be innate spiritual material.

If it’s Innate Spiritual Material, there is a possibility it could grow into an Emperor Weapon in the future.

As for the difficulty?

According to Xiang Zhao’s description, the greatest difficulty in obtaining this treasure is the immensely powerful thunder infused with Chaotic Star Gang.

For other Star Lords, the Chaotic Star Gang is too terrifying.

But for Xu Jin, the half-chaotically transformed Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower can definitely withstand, giving Xu Jin a chance.

If the half-chaotically transformed Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower isn’t enough, Xu Jin still has a powerful move.

Even though that Small Star Domain is incomplete, it is ultimately a Small World Star Domain, and Xu Jin is quite adept at dealing with them.

With this thought, Xu Jin made his decision.

Take it!

This millennial Purple Copper must be taken!

A few moments later, Xu Jin took the Star Domain Mark of Thunder Gang Small World from the awakened Xiang Zhao, then released Xiang Zhao as per the agreement.

Xiang Zhao, somewhat nervous, cupped his hands towards Xu Jin, then returned to Han State City.

Xu Jin remained hidden in the void, waiting for Zhu Linxiao’s people to arrive.

An hour later, a starship bearing the emblem of the Dongxuan Star Realm’s Punishment Hall arrived at Han State City.

Who dares to obstruct the Punishment Hall’s operations?

Because Xu Jin had already explained to Wu Bei’s mother, the Punishment Hall personnel smoothly picked up the family of four.

They will be taken to the Punishment Hall as witnesses, and after handling the case, they will be quietly settled by the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion.

Subsequently, the officer of the Punishment Hall began arresting members of the Wu Clan, eventually taking Xiang Zhao, the Little Star Monarch and City Lord of Hanzhou, as well.

Zhu Linxiao also explained this to Xu Jin.

Whether the Punishment Hall deals with Xiang Zhao or not will be discussed later.

But for now, he must be detained, disconnected from communication, until the matters Xu Jin needs to handle are settled, to avoid bringing danger to Xu Jin.

It must be said, Zhu Linxiao’s actions are very thorough.

Seeing Mrs. Wu boarding the Punishment Hall starship with her grandson and daughter-in-law, Xu Jin immediately took a step and vanished instantly.

This matter ends here, considered resolved.

Go back and explain the twenty-year agreement to Zhu Linxiao, and it can be completely left behind.

*****

In the Ritual Officer’s Mansion of Yutang Royal City, Xu Jin, who returned at the first opportunity, was discussing the matter of obtaining the millennial Thunder Copper with Zhu Linxiao.

After all, Zhu Linxiao is a Star Monarch and familiar with the Dongxuan Star Realm, Xu Jin felt it was better to discuss with her, as more opinions could bring better strategies.

"Since husband is confident in acquiring the millennial Purple Copper under the Chaos Thunder Light, then I will fully support husband in this matter.

To handle this matter, I believe the sooner, the better.

Currently, it seems Xiang Zhao has not sold this intelligence to others, but since he indeed found the white bones, it’s better to retrieve it early." Zhu Linxiao said.

"Indeed so, I will make some preparations and set off in half a day." Xu Jin said.

"Yes, but besides this, husband must also be ready for unexpected situations." Zhu Linxiao said, "According to Xiang Zhao, someone has already explored there, perhaps one or two people know, maybe more, they might have even set something up, so husband must be extra cautious."

"Yes, rest assured, I will." Xu Jin replied.

"Husband, for the sake of prudence, please take my Suppression Artifact portion with you. If there’s any danger, signal immediately, and I will instantly use the Daoist Embryo to assist you."

"This is absolutely not possible!"

This time, Xu Jin refused extremely firmly, "There, Heavenly Thunder is everywhere, Chaos Thunder Light is dense; it is a dead zone for the Daoist Embryo. If you go, it is merely sending yourself to death.

Rest assured, I am confident!

I also won’t take risks." Xu Jin stated.

Hearing this, Zhu Linxiao’s heart was filled with sweetness, but she was still somewhat concerned for Xu Jin’s safety.

"We cultivators, there’s hardly any without risks, rest assured, my life-preserving skills are stronger than my combat power!" Xu Jin laughed.

A few moments later, Zhu Linxiao left, while Xu Jin began his final preparations.

Xu Jin’s so-called final preparations meant strengthening the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower as much as possible, pushing the chaotic refinement process of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower even further.

This way, the likelihood of withstanding the Chaos Thunder Light is even greater.

With a thought, eight types of special rhythm power instantly surged forth, among which there were only a hundred strands of space rhythm power.

From the last extraction, just a hundred days have passed, and it has accumulated enough.

But even if mosquito meat is little, it’s still meat, and any increase is good.

In no time, a hundred strands of each of the eight special rhythm powers condensed into a fist-sized ball of Chaos Rhythm Power.

The Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower simultaneously flew out, and after an hour, absorbed this ball of Chaos Rhythm Power once again.

After absorption, the chaotic refinement process of the Heaven and Earth Cloud Tower showed no obvious change but definitely improved.

Two hours later, with everything prepared, Xu Jin and Zhu Linxiao arrived at the Star Gate Hall of the Jade Hall True Monarch Mansion together.

Then, the Star Domain Mark of the Thunder Gang Small World was inserted into the previously prepared Space Star Gate Array Plate.

Before long, the stargate within the array plate lit up.

"Husband, I wish you great success and a safe return!"

Xu Jin stepped forward and gently embraced Zhu Linxiao, then stepped into the temporary stargate and vanished in an instant!
