Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 2025: Chapter 869: The Transformation of the Galaxy at the Candou Platform

Although it’s on the Star Island within the Star Ruins, the specifications of the True Monarch Mansion are not much inferior to those within the Star Realm, with hundreds of rooms of various sizes, and an additional twenty servants arranged.

These servants are all ordinary cultivators below the Eighth Tier, coming from various backgrounds.

Most of them have no hope of breakthrough, no hope of joining the Dao Army, so they come here to seek some prospects.

Other cultivators, not to mention True Monarchs, even Star Lords are rare.

They can see them in daily life, and if a True Monarch is pleased and casually rewards them, it might mean changing their destiny.

In fact, Xu Jin doesn’t have too many requirements for these things.

Regarding the residence, just two points: a spacious cultivation space and a certain safety margin.

However, Xu Jin did not refuse.

In the army, a certain amount of ostentation and strength is the way to survive; if too reserved, one incurs only trouble most times.

"Great Sage, if you don’t like these servants, or want new ones, or have any special requests, you can directly tell me, and I’ll arrange replacements for you," Lin Dapang said with a smile, looking at the servants kneeling on the ground.

As soon as these words were spoken, the servants kneeling on the ground became immediately nervous; if they were sent back, it would be difficult to find work serving a True Monarch again.

Xu Jin’s gaze swept over these servants, and with Divine Thought, he immediately sensed their nervous emotions.

These people are Sixth or Seventh-Tier cultivators; in the Kunling Domain, they could be considered noteworthy figures, but here...

"No need to change, just keep them," Xu Jin’s voice instantly relieved these servants.

"Alright, Great Sage, come to my residence after two hours, I’ll host you!"

"Okay."

As for the title "Great Sage," it’s a custom here, considered Xu Jin’s nickname now.

Great Sage Equalling Heaven.

So let’s go with Great Sage, no need to think further.

"Sir, I am your steward Yu Zhong, if you have any requests, please feel free to instruct, and I will do my utmost to fulfill them," Yu Zhong, a grassroots cultivator at the Seventh-Tier Peak, is here serving to accumulate resources.

For someone like him, serving for a year can earn fifteen hundred military merits, accumulating for ten or twenty years might accumulate enough resources for breaking through to the Eighth or even Ninth Tier.

"Hmm, I don’t have any special requirements, just want peace, no disturbances. Within fifty meters of my quiet room, no one is allowed to enter." Xu Jin instructed.

"Understood, I accept the orders." This command left Yu Zhong quite disappointed.

Peaceful, no disturbances.

That means no chances to serve, without opportunities to serve, there’s no chance for advancement.

That means earning only the dead number of military merits for servants.

Though disappointed, Yu Zhong didn’t show it.

Watching Yu Zhong bow and retreat slowly, Xu Jin suddenly had a thought, using voice transmission, asked, "Can you gather intelligence?"

Yu Zhong’s body abruptly halted while retreating, his eyes filled with joy, quickly affirming, "I can. May I ask, which aspect of intelligence do you need, Sir?"

These people are not afraid of being used by powerful figures, they are afraid of not being used.

"Oh? How do you gather it? Tell me," Xu Jin transmitted, wanting to confirm the channels to avoid embarrassing situations.

"Reporting to Sir, in the Star Ruins, the total number of True Monarchs and Star Lords stationed in the Tongxuan Battle Zone on Star Islands is only about five to six thousand people, and the Dao Army stationed doesn’t exceed a hundred thousand. But the number of servants like us reaches over a million.

But no one wants to continue like this forever, or perhaps their respective masters have such needs, there are channels for internal intelligence exchanges, but the range of intelligence each person can obtain is naturally different," Yu Zhong said.

Xu Jin’s gaze condensed, suddenly looking at Yu Zhong, "Doesn’t this mean if someone wants to buy my intelligence, you can turn around and sell it?"

Upon these words, Yu Zhong instantly knelt down, "Sir, I dare not, nor would I."

Xu Jin stared at Yu Zhong for several moments, transmitted, "If anyone wants to buy, you just sell what you know, but if someone buys, remember to tell me!"

"Sir, I wouldn’t dare!"

"Just sell as I tell you!"

"Yes, I accept the orders!"

"Aside from this, try to gather and compile as much information as possible, such as events on other Star Islands, seizures, changes in the movement of True Monarchs level, and so on, gather as much as you can," Xu Jin said.

"I accept the orders, rest assured Sir, I will give my all."

"Then what do you need?" Xu Jin asked.

In this world, there are no free services; only by offering sufficient benefits can you obtain greater returns.

"Reporting to Sir, I need military merits, I need Divine Dao True Intent, Enlightenment Stone, and also need high-tier Gathering Star Array Plates, I want to break through to the Eighth or even Ninth Tier!" Yu Zhong didn’t hesitate, directly stating his needs.

"No problem, do your job well."

"I understand, Sir. Whatever task you have, just instruct me, no matter what it is, I can handle it."

After speaking, Yu Zhong retreated with a bowed posture.

Watching Yu Zhong’s silhouette, Xu Jin contemplated internally, "Hope we can find useful information."

Xu Jin would not expose specific needs, but in a large pool, if we can find information about Star Realm Star Core, Time Dao such news, it would be worthwhile.

*****

Two hours later, Xu Jin arrived punctually at Captain Lin Bowei’s residence, which was also a large mansion.

Li, Wang, Li Qingchen, and Zhu Shengnian had already arrived.

Upon seeing Xu Jin come, Lin Bowei quickly stepped out to greet him, and even the veteran Star Monarchs, Li and Wang, proactively came forward to welcome Xu Jin.
