Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 508 - 216: Preparing for a Rainy Day_3

After securing financing, the development accelerated, and then even more income was obtained, followed by rapid debt repayment.

However, to be honest, Xu Jin had been thinking about a more sustainable way to earn Starlight.

Continuing this way, relying on the little Taoist Merit issued by the Taoist Institute, once his Cultivation Level broke through to the Fourth Tier, he feared he might not be able to sustain his rapid cultivation!

"Vice Hall Master Ling, I’ll leave this matter to you. In addition, I would like to purchase fifty Second-tier Star Jades and fifty Third-Tier Star Jades."

During this period, Xu Jin had become extremely adept at practicing the Star Pivot Star Pattern and Connected Star Patterns within the Star Lamp.

Thus, he decided to start practicing by making emblems.

Gradually practicing, it could also serve as a means of financial gain for him.

And it could serve as a life-saving technique as well.

After all, after nurturing, a Third-tier Emblem could unleash the power of a Fourth Tier.

A Fourth-Tier Emblem, after nurturing, could unleash the power of a Fifth Tier.

If he had a hundred Fourth-Tier Emblems, he could even kill an expert at the peak of the Fifth Tier.

Experts of the Sixth Tier might also be blocked.

Making money and saving lives, two birds with one stone!

"Lord Xu, are you planning to go down the path of engraving emblems?" Ling Mao said with a smile.

"Indeed, it’s also a way to make some money to support future cultivation," Xu Jin stated.

"That’s a proper path, but why doesn’t Lord Xu attend a class by Academician Kou? Over there at Academician Kou’s, as long as you learn the basics of engraving emblems, he provides the Second-tier Star Jades for practice for free.

If your engravings are good, you’ll even be rewarded by Academician Kou.

Even if they aren’t good, Academician Kou will give pointers on the spot.

Having someone like Academician Kou guiding you, even a few words can be greatly beneficial," Ling Mao explained.

"Is that so?" Xu Jin was astonished.

Hearing this, Ling Mao laughed, "Mainly because you, Lord Xu, are too proactive. Normally, new apprentices are told this information after three months. However, the Taoist Institute has no restrictions for apprentices with good talent!"

After saying this, Ling Mao glanced at the timekeeper, "Lord Xu, if you go now, you can still make it. Every alternate day in the afternoon, Academician Kou holds a public lecture that lasts for two hours in his Academic Hall."

"Thank you!"

After saying this, Xu Jin hurried towards the Academic Hall of Academician Kou Jing.

Among many Academicians and Vice Academicians of the Da Chen National Daoist Institute, quite a few are proficient in engraving emblems.

Engraving emblems is a way to increase income and strength.

Even Ning Yuchan was capable.

But the very skilled ones, within the Da Chen National Daoist Institute, belonged solely to Academician Kou Jing.

Academician Kou was the only one in the National Taoist Institute who had repeatedly engraved both Top-Grade Fifth-Tier and Sixth-Tier Emblems.

Therefore, regarding the engraving of emblems, he has always been lecturing publicly.

The majority of Academician Kou’s apprentices also specialize in engraving emblems.

When Xu Jin arrived, the class hadn’t started yet, but there were already many apprentices arriving continuously.

The disciples guarding the hall conducted identity inspections, then allowed everyone to enter.

However, upon inspecting Xu Jin’s identity waist card, they took another look at him.

"Hey, elder brother, you’ve come too."

Just as he settled into a corner upon entering the hall, Xu Jin encountered an acquaintance, Wang Jiugao.

Within moments, Ji Hongli also approached Xu Jin’s side.

About fifteen moments later, a fragrant breeze wafted by, then suddenly turned back around, "Elder brother, you’ve also come to learn engraving," it was Meng Qingqiu.

This year, Meng Qingqiu had been accepted as an apprentice by Kou Jing, naturally specializing in engravings.

"Coming to learn a bit, to have additional methods and strength in the future," Xu Jin said.

Before long, Xu Jin observed that the Academic Hall was packed to the brim, with many late-arriving apprentices being accommodated outside, numbering in the hundreds.

It seemed many apprentices were interested in engraving emblems.

After a while, Starlight descended, and Academician Kou Jing, dressed in a green robe with a goatee, appeared.

Without wasting words, he immediately began the class.

Flicking his finger lightly, a point of Starlight transformed into a huge Star Curtain that appeared in front of everyone, and at the same moment, the resonant voice of Academician Kou Jing reached everyone’s ears.

"The old rules: today we’ll discuss two types of emblems, one is the Second-tier base emblem Star Shield, and the other is the Third-tier emblem Star Fire Explosive Pattern. Those who have mastered the Second-tier emblems, keep calm and wait a bit, you can combine the lessons before and after.

As for the newcomers, focus on the content at the beginning."

After saying this, Academician Kou just kept talking nonstop.

While speaking, he demonstrated the Evolution of the Star Pivot Star Pattern and Connected Star Patterns on the Star Curtain.

"For the Star Skills you need to engrave, I personally suggest you engrave those that are Instantaneous, as they have the highest success rate and better quality! If not yet Instantaneous, focus on one direction and achieve Instantaneous as soon as possible.

In the aspect of engraving emblems, it’s better to master a few."

"Watch this, the Star Pivot Star Pattern transforms the entire Star Jade into a carrier that can hold the Star Skills and Star Patterns, so the first thing before engraving the Star Patterns is to completely engrave the Star Pivot Star Pattern into the Star Jade, but make sure it is full.

And the Connected Star Patterns are the key to mobilizing and outputting the Star Power contained within the Star Skills, Star Patterns, and Star Jade.

However, Connected Star Patterns are not just simple connections; they should be treated differently. At the point where the Star edge is activated, the Star Pattern should be thick, extremely stable, and the channel for Star Power should be as wide as possible to mobilize the Star Power quickly.

The channel for the output Star Patterns should be short.

This minimizes the output time and enhances the power of the emblem!

Like here...."

As he spoke, Kou Jing demonstrated on the Star Curtain to the audience.

Xu Jin, however, was watching in realization.

Previously, through self-study, many things were only understood at their literal meanings, and Xu Jin had planned to slowly explore and advance on his own.

Unexpectedly, after Academician Kou spoke, the knowledge Xu Jin had self-studied about Star Pattern engraving became profoundly understood.

This lecture lasted for about forty minutes.

Xu Jin listened intently.

After finishing, Kou Jing suddenly said, "Old rules, Divine Soul Star Forgers raise your hands."

Xu Jin, somewhat puzzled, raised his hand, and from all around, envious gazes were cast his way.

Among the several hundred disciples who had come to learn, only half raised their hands, and most of them had entered the Taoist Institute last year, either being Third-level Star Refining Late Period or Fourth Tier Star Condensation Early Period disciples.

In the next instant, Kou Jing waved his hand and hundreds of light points flew towards the apprentices, with three Second-tier Star Jades landing in Xu Jin’s hand.

"Let’s engrave on-site for the assessment then!

Success with one is considered passing, a reward for success with all three! If all three fail, and if you fail more than three classes in my classroom, then I personally suggest you find another path, and you better not come to my class anymore.

Engraving emblems might not be suitable for you!

Alright, start now, I’ll keep the record myself!" Kou Jing said.
