Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1865: Chapter 784: Candou Platform Upgrade

In the Yutang Royal City’s Ritual Officer Mansion, Xu Jin moved his hand away from the Daoist Embryo of the captured female Star Monarch. The interrogation was complete.

It was simply a case of opportunism, also a habitual crime of the Weiyi Hall.

Her name was He Mingshuang, a newly appointed battle general under the command of the Haimoon Emperor, who had been fishing amongst various major districts in the Tongxuan Domain.

Of course, she was quite skilled, only targeting those whose cultivation level was two minor realms lower than hers.

Someone like Xu Jin was her perfect target.

She never imagined in her dreams that she would encounter such a perverted existence like Xu Jin and ended up defeated.

As Xu Jin’s hand moved away, He Mingshuang instantly sobered up. Seeing Xu Jin’s cold gaze, she immediately realized what was happening.

"Spare my life, Lord. I can swear by the Great Dao Oath, to serve as a slave or servant, and do whatever the lord commands."

Xu Jin’s expression grew even colder.

"Lord, I also know of a great secret. There’s a small world where there’s a high probability of an innate treasure material..."

Boom!

A vast wave of divine soul power slashed out like a knife, beginning to annihilate and split the Star Monarch’s Daoist Embryo. Her broken body was extracted and soon, Xu Jin refined it into an Essence Blood Pearl.

Xu Jin already had a stable channel to obtain innate treasure materials, so why take the risk?

If she harbored ill intent and informed the Haiyue Emperor or the True Monarch above her, Xu Jin would be in serious trouble.

Direct refining.

Two quarter-hours later, Xu Jin did the same process, refining the remaining two Star Monarchs into Essence Blood Pearls, with plans to later refine them into Yan Dao Pearls.

These latter two were indeed part of an ongoing operation in the Treasure Light District, with a clearly defined division of labor.

The entire group consisted of seven people. These two were responsible for the operations, monitoring in the Weiyi Hall, and fishing, all highly experienced.

They had committed more than twenty crimes over the years.

Xu Jin didn’t hold back, directly sending all the interrogated information and the contact methods found in their Sumeru Space, including the meeting points, to Zhu Linxiao for the Punishment Hall to handle.

Not only can it eliminate harm for the people, but at the very least, it can also increase Zhu Linxiao’s political achievements.

Compared to the huge harvest from True Monarch Xiong Lanzhou, the benefits from these three were negligible.

He Mingshuang’s wealth was relatively better, but even combined, the yields were not as much as from Xiong Lanzhou.

The three had a total gain of twenty-seven drops of All Heaven Star Dew, over a hundred Nine-tiered Star Crystals, and two Eighth-rank Spiritual Medicines.

Unlike the surprises from Xiong Lanzhou, there were none.

This time, their greatest value was actually in themselves; after refining their essence and Daoist Embryo into Yan Dao Pearls.

Upon concluding this, Xu Jin suddenly laughed and shook his head, "Am I getting arrogant?

In the past, getting one or two drops of All Heaven Star Dew was never too little, three to five drops were just fine.

Now, it’s over twenty or thirty drops..."

Notably, the two innate spiritual materials traded with the Star Monarch were back in Xu Jin’s possession.

However, this time Xu Jin did not intend to sell them again.

Overall, the district was somewhat dangerous, with uncontrollable risk factors.

Xu Jin planned to focus on hard cultivation for a while, consuming all these cultivation resources before moving on to the second phase of the snowball plan.

*****

On October 19, in the Ritual Officer Mansion, Zhu Linxiao hurried over.

"Husband, I’ve bought the Heavenly Glaze and Earth Abyss Spirit Sand you wanted!

Additionally, I’ve also managed to acquire the other two special treasure materials you asked for."

Upon meeting, Zhu Linxiao affectionately squatted next to Xu Jin and handed over all the items she had bought for him, one by one.

As for the expenses, she mentioned not a word.

Seeing this, Xu Jin felt a bit touched. Zhu Linxiao truly cared for him, never mentioning the costs of acquiring treasure materials or the innate material, including the current purchases.

"Lin’er, how much All Heaven Star Dew did all these purchases cost altogether?"

Xu Jin’s intention was to settle the account.

These expenses were no small matter; they shouldn’t collapse the Yutang Royal Mansion.

But Zhu Linxiao, considering Xu Jin’s urgent need for cultivation resources and financial tightness, quickly said, "Not that much, we can still manage, husband. You just concentrate on cultivating."

"Manage?"

Xu Jin chuckled and pulled Zhu Linxiao into his arms. "Altogether, with that innate material, it must have cost over a hundred drops of All Heaven Star Dew. Where did you manage to get that?

If the Yutang Royal Mansion had that much revolving capital, that would truly be something.

Tell me how you did it." This time, Xu Jin was genuinely curious.

Curious about how Zhu Linxiao managed to obtain so much All Heaven Star Dew.

The items Xu Jin required could only be purchased with the hard currency of All Heaven Star Dew.

Zhu Linxiao glanced up at Xu Jin and softly said, "Husband, I mortgaged my position as Hall Master of the Punishment Hall to borrow sixty drops of All Heaven Star Dew from the Yuanling True Monarch Mansion.

If I can’t repay within three years, I’ll voluntarily resign."

On hearing this, Xu Jin looked at Zhu Linxiao with a complicated expression. This woman really is something.

She had mortgaged her position as Hall Master.

In essence, she had sold her Hall Master position to the Yuanling True Monarch Mansion.

Should she resign, and the position becomes vacant, Yuanling True Monarch would find ways to acquire the Hall Master position.

Of course, the key was having the vacancy available.

"Don’t worry, husband. At worst, I’ll voluntarily resign after three years; this debt will not affect your cultivation at all."
