Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2024: Chapter 868: Military Merit Balance_2

At the same time, part of the precious materials obtained from combat operations can be exchanged for military merit at an 80% discount, but there is a quantity limit.

Meanwhile, the number of military merits recorded into the Tongxuan Order is forbidden for trade.

If there are rare treasures vying for multiple parties, the one offering more military merits wins.

Xu Jin feels that the military merits of the entire Tongxuan Battle Zone have formed a huge value circulation system.

For now, it doesn’t seem too difficult to obtain military merits.

Because it’s just normal duty on a Star Island, different cultivation levels have different merits.

But saving up a surplus of military merits is relatively difficult.

For instance, a Little Star Monarch receives a thousand military merits per month of guarding, a Great Star Monarch receives fifteen hundred, a Star Monarch receives two thousand, and a Star Monarch receives three thousand.

At the level of True Monarch, the rewards from normal guarding are higher. A One Tribulation True Monarch receives five thousand military merits per month, sixty thousand per year.

If one can refrain from exchanging any cultivation resources and endure for about ten years, can even a titled True Monarch emerge?

But can one really hold back?

As for Xu Jin, other people seeing Innate Treasure Material and Innate Spiritual Material, if they can gather enough, will certainly think of exchanging for an item.

Moreover, if one doesn’t improve their strength, can they survive?

Everything is unknown.

The last time Xu Jin obtained the status of a Third Grade Tongxuan Star General, he had already swapped out his military merits.

So now he only has around fifteen to seventeen thousand merits on hand.

Actually, Xu Jin could have more military merits.

For example, if Xu Jin reveals the True Monarch Blood Crystal of the Four Tribulation True Monarch from the Silver Wing Clan, he could immediately gain eight thousand five hundred merit points.

But Xu Jin has not revealed it.

Currently, Xu Jin still wants to slightly conceal his upper limit of strength.

Slaying a Two Tribulation True Monarch adept at Space Star Technique essentially indicates that Xu Jin possesses the combat power of a Four Tribulation True Monarch or even a Five Tribulation True Monarch.

In such a situation, if the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment wishes to plot against Xu Jin, they might employ the combat power of Six Tribulation, Seven Tribulation, or even Eight Tribulation True Monarch.

If the results of killing the Four Tribulation True Monarch adept at Space Star Technique are exposed, it indicates that Xu Jin could have the combat power of Six Tribulation or even Seven Tribulation True Monarch.

Then, if the True Monarch of Heavenly Punishment aims to deal with Xu Jin, they might employ experts of the highest rank, directly going up to the Ninth Tier, maybe more than one.

That would be troublesome.

Before breaking through, Xu Jin could, with all-out consumption, normally kill a Five Tribulation True Monarch. After breaking through, he could at least kill a Six Tribulation True Monarch, but against a Seven Tribulation, it’s hard to say, depending on the strength of the opponent’s Rule Dao Skill. But his survival is assured.

However, it’s undeniably true that a Nine Tribulation True Monarch absolutely possesses the power to kill Xu Jin.

Therefore, care is needed.

As for the current battle achievements, Xu Jin isn’t afraid of wasting any of it.

Both the corpse and True Monarch Blood Crystal exist; when the time is right, bringing them out instantly turns into military merits.

In the Tongxuan Battle Zone, alien race True Monarch Blood Crystals or corpses are absolutely hard currency!

This is why Xu Jin is saving the Four Tribulation True Monarch’s Blood Crystal.

Eventually, Xu Jin hasn’t spent any of the military merits won this time.

He didn’t exchange anything.

On Innate Treasure Materials and Innate Spiritual Materials, Xu Jin has instinctively gained several pieces; now, aside from those of particularly excellent properties, they’ve become hard currency in his hands, and not urgently needed.

Similarly for cultivation treasures.

Star Ruins Primordial Sand has also been accumulated considerably.

Originally, he thought about exchanging some Star Jade Marrow, as its cultivation speed is a bit faster than All Heaven Star Dew.

But previously Xu Jin obtained a head-sized piece in Star Surge, which is enough for now.

Military merits should be saved; perhaps in the future, they will encounter some rare treasures?

It’s not completely about saving; Xu Jin is already preparing to spend two or three thousand merits to exchange for enlightenment opportunities.

The so-called enlightenment opportunity refers to the opportunity to enlighten various Law Paths possessed by Changxing Star Island.

Counting today’s newly added three Law Paths, Changxing Star Island altogether possesses eighty-seven Law Paths across different systems.

According to the rules, all members of Changxing Star Island can exchange enlightenment opportunities to specify enlightenment on a particular Law Path.

One time costs one thousand military merits.

At that time, the defender can invoke Heaven and Earth Authority to directly manifest the Law Path to assist in enlightenment.

Once enlightenment lasts for five days; if not successful in five days, another five thousand merits can be spent to continue five days, until enlightenment completes.

It’s considered a very fast cultivation method to elevate one’s realm.

Most cultivators, with ten to twenty days and spending two to three thousand military merits, can successfully enlighten one specified Law Path.

It’s specified, and can significantly save time.

That is, only it’s something one doesn’t know!

Just this item alone increases the intrinsic value of military merits significantly.

Under these great benefits, who can hold back from using them?

Even Xu Jin feels a bit restless now.

He wants Defender Mr. Guan to immediately help him sense all the aura of Law Paths on Changxing Star Island, see which ones he doesn’t know, then direct enlightenment to quickly improve his realm combat power.

At the same time, Xu Jin also speculates whether the Emperor’s Dao Secret Realm is related to such Star Islands?

If he establishes a Star Island himself, can he also refine a Dao Secret Realm?

Thinking is thinking, Xu Jin still couldn’t hold back!

Military merits are precious and shouldn’t be wasted.

Currently, if Xu Jin wants to quickly enlighten more Law Paths, True Monarch Blood Crystals are the best choice.

Counting today’s gains, the number of True Monarch Blood Crystals Xu Jin holds is an astonishing seventeen pieces.

Once these True Monarch Blood Crystals are consumed, then coming back to sense unfamiliar Law Paths on Changxing Star Island to exchange military merits for enlightenment opportunity, that’s the best choice!

Time!

Currently, what Xu Jin lacks most is time.

Advancing Star Power Cultivation takes time.

Refining the flesh requires time.

Using True Monarch Blood Crystals for Law Path enlightenment takes time.

Enlightening Time Dao Principle Fragment requires time.

However, after this combat mission, Xu Jin should have a few days of stability.

Thinking over carefully, Xu Jin decides in the coming days to mostly enlighten the two True Monarch Blood Crystals from the Silver Wing Clan won today.

The Space Rule Dao Skill exhibited by the Four Tribulation True Monarch of the Silver Wing Clan was extremely powerful, and its continuous slaughter burst was very tempting to Xu Jin.

If he can learn it, his combat power will be even more formidable, and his survival ability will be stronger!

"Brother Xu, are you done choosing?" Suddenly, Captain Lin Bowei came to Xu Jin.

"Captain, yes."

"No formality, Brother Xu, comrades from the same trench, call me Dapang in the future!" Lin Bowei shook his sturdy body and laughed, "If you’ve finished choosing then, Brother Xu, you pick the quarters." Lin Bowei laughed.

Xu Jin also followed local customs; Changxing Star Island was influenced by Mr. Guan, and everyone liked to use nicknames.

"Dapang, do we have single rooms in our quarters?" Xu Jin asked, which was his main concern.

With military rules, he doesn’t want his cultivation to be disturbed.

"Single rooms?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Dapang smiled heartily, "Brother Xu, the conditions of our Changxing Star Island aren’t that bad; even for Dao Army members, all have single rooms, and us Star Monarchs have individual estates."

"Oh right, Mr. Guan just instructed that I allocate the palace previously inhabited by Silver Line True Monarch to you."

"True Monarch’s Palace? For me?" Xu Jin was a bit surprised, "Dapang, wouldn’t this be overstepping?"

"Absolutely not!"
