Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 67 - 63 There’s Nothing Impossible

He needed to pretend, and not speak out.

Ning Yuchan’s words left the disciples present with faces of surprise and doubt.

Many people looked around at the numerous prodigies.

As the recipient of most attention, naturally, it was the top-performing Brother Jin in Star Pointing, Yue Daqi.

Most disciples believed that Yue Daqi should be the first to succeed in engraving the Small Gathering Star Pattern.

Xu Jin was also curious.

There were five?

Who could they be?

Lu Xianbing must be one of them, right?

If you count it, from the time the Small Gathering Star Pattern was taught on June 22nd until today, July 6th, it’s been 14 days.

Although there was a mission that delayed them by a day or two, succeeding in engraving the Small Gathering Star Pattern in about ten days was still quite fast.

“Lu Xianbing, engraved the Small Gathering Star Pattern successfully in eleven days, certified by two instructors, is the first place in terms of speed for this Small Gathering Star Pattern engraving session, and will receive one bottle of Mental Awakening Pills and three low-grade Star Refilling Pills.”

In an instant, the disciples were abuzz; their gazes shifted away from Yue Daqi onto Lu Xianbing, with Xu Jin following suit.

But Xu Jin wasn’t surprised at all.

Within the cultivation system, so far it appears that during the first step of Star Pointing, the role of external forces is very small.

However, after successful Star Pointing, both the speed of cultivation and the speed of engraving star patterns are significantly affected by external forces.

Just like the cultivation in the Dining Dawn Realm, the speed with or without pills differs by several times.

Who is Lu Xianbing?

The top-ranking second generation of an official from Jinshan County City; isn’t his access to cultivation resources unquestionable?

Not to mention, there’s no doubt about the availability of Rejuvenation Pills, which cost thirty taels of silver each—and he pops two a day.

With his innate talent being extremely high and his dedication to arduous cultivation, it’s only natural that he’s the first to succeed in engraving the Small Gathering Star Pattern.

It’s just that Xu Jin has already engraved the Small Gathering Star Pattern under wraps, otherwise, he would surely have remarked sarcastically: You, a second generation official and cultivator, are so diligently hardworking, how can the rest of us even live?

In fact, this is a misconception shared by many.

Many subconsciously think that the offspring of officials, the wealthy, and the second generation, generally act recklessly.

But that’s not the case.

It’s the effect of the phenomenon that good deeds don’t go beyond the doorstep while bad news spreads far and wide.

Are there such persons among the second generation?

Certainly, without question.

But are there among the second generation who study and practice diligently?

Yes, and the proportion is even higher.

“Ren Xiaoxiang, engraved the Small Gathering Star Pattern successfully in twelve days, ranked second, and will receive six Mental Awakening Pills and two Star Refilling Pills.

Luo Geng, engraved the Small Gathering Star Pattern successfully in thirteen days, ranked third, and will receive three Mental Awakening Pills and one Star Refilling Pill.”

“Yue Daqi and Yu Guan, successfully engraved on the fourteenth day.

Although they did not make the top three, the Taoist Institute still rewards them with one Mental Awakening Pill and one Star Refilling Pill each.”

The disciples looked on with admiration and envy as Luo Geng felt somewhat proud.

His speed in Star Pointing was average, but his cultivation speed and the speed of engraving the Small Gathering Star Pattern were extraordinary.

Being third place in the Small Gathering Star Pattern engraving restored a lot of his confidence.

Especially since, back when he was competing against Xu Jin for spots in the Middle Court and Outer Court and was surpassed by Xu Jin, it had greatly shaken Luo Geng’s confidence.

Today, that confidence was fully restored.

Although Luo Geng’s third place was largely due to the help of his uncle Luo Kexing, especially during the times when the Taoist Institute forbade outside assistance, his uncle had still been able to help him.

“Alright, come up and receive your rewards.”

As bottles of pills were distributed, Ning Yuchan’s eyes unintentionally swept over Xu Jin again, fearing that his temperament was not strong enough to suppress the desire for victory.

To Ning Yuchan’s surprise, Xu Jin remained very calm.

For Xu Jin, rankings were a mere vanity; the real deal was the reward.

The reward for Lu Xianbing’s first place was indeed right.

But the reward I, Xu Jin, received was twice as much as yours, and I even got an extra Rejuvenation Pill.

Not to mention the second and third places.

Especially when Luo Geng’s challenging gaze landed on Xu Jin, Xu Jin dismissed it entirely.

Simply not on the same level.

What is there for me to compete over with you!

Have you ever seen an elementary student argue with a kindergartener?

Of course, kindergarteners do like to challenge elementary students.

“Those who haven’t successfully engraved star patterns, don’t be discouraged,” Ning Yuchan said, lifting the spirits of many disciples.

“The Mountain Master has said that all who can engrave the Small Gathering Star Pattern successfully within a month will be rewarded with a Star Refilling Pill as encouragement.”

A Star Refilling Pill, worth twenty taels of silver.

“The second order of business for today’s class is regarding the Great Gathering Star Pattern.

”

Since someone had already successfully engraved the Small Star Gathering Pattern, the Great Star Gathering Pattern was not too far off.

The previously announced rewards were still valid.

Moreover, anyone who engraves the Great Star Gathering Pattern within three months will be rewarded.”

“The third item on today’s lecture agenda is to discuss the Star-picking Order.

You all saw a few days ago that Xu Jin and Lu Xianbing were awarded the Star-picking Order, right?”

With these words, many eyes turned enviously towards Xu Jin and Lu Xianbing.

“I believe many of you know about the Star-picking Order and even more so the Star-picking Tower.

Th𝗲 most uptodate novels are published on ƒгeewёbnovel.com.

Let me put it this way, the importance of the Star-picking Order is no less than that of Star Pointing.

In the future, many tasks and even duels for your cultivation and the transmission of techniques will take place in the Star-picking Tower.

Currently, there are two ways to obtain a Star-picking Order.

One is through the rewards from the Taoist Institute.

Taoist Institute rewards are straightforward – they are given to those who perform exceptionally well in various tasks.

The second way is when you break through to the Sixth Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm, where you can purchase the Star-picking Order from the Taoist Institute.

One Star-picking Order, with the disciple welfare price, is a thousand taels of silver.

Alternatively, you can exchange one Star-picking Order for five acts of Small Merit you have accumulated.”

In this lecture, Ning Yuchan spoke at length about the Star-picking Order, sharing common knowledge with the class.

However, the transmission of Star Skills and cultivation techniques would take place more privately.

This was because each disciple’s progress in cultivation was different.

Ning Yuchan stated that anyone who had made a breakthrough to the Fifth Layer of the Dining Dawn Realm could seek her out individually to receive new Star Skills and cultivation techniques.

Of course, even if Ning Yuchan had not said this, Xu Jin planned to seek her out after class.

During the class, many disciples raised numerous questions about their cultivation, to which Ning Yuchan responded one by one.

Xu Jin had encountered many of the issues raised, but using the mindset from his previous life, he found the answers himself.

After the major class ended, Ning Yuchan tapped her crutch and, turning into a streak of cyan light, departed.

Xu Jin also stood up, intending to find Ning Yuchan.

Unexpectedly, Qian Xiaohu and Qiao Ruonan approached him first.

“Brother Jin, they have all succeeded with the Small Star Gathering Pattern.

You must be close too,” said the two, who had the closest relationship with Xu Jin among the disciples.

“Uh, soon, probably in a few more days.”

Xu Jin gave a casual response because he wasn’t sure when Ning Yuchan would announce his achievement.

After answering, he casually inquired, “And you two?”

“I need another seven or eight days,” said Qiao Ruonan.

“I guess it will take me more than ten days,” said Qian Xiaohu.

“Right, keep pushing.

Spend the silver you earned from before on some Mental Awakening Pills or Rejuvenation Pills as soon as possible.

The pace of your Body Refining can slow down a bit because once you successfully engrave the Small Star Gathering Pattern, the speed of your Body Refining will increase exponentially,” Xu Jin advised.

“Eh, Brother Jin, how do you know that?” Qian Xiaohu asked somewhat foolishly.

Just as Xu Jin was about to reply, Luo Geng’s voice rang out, “Xu Jin is right.

After successfully engraving the Small Star Gathering Pattern, the Star Power will grow exponentially, and indeed, the speed of Body Refining will increase exponentially.”

“Like me, after engraving the Small Star Gathering Pattern successfully, my Body Refinement progress has soared these past days.

I estimate that it will take three or four more days for me to break through to the Fourth Layer of Dining Dawn.” Luo Geng volunteered to clear their doubts and then, pretending it was an offhand question, asked Xu Jin, “By the way, Xu Jin, what level is your cultivation at?

How long till you break through to the Fourth Layer of Dining Dawn?”

The last question was his real focus.

Luo Geng had lost during the previous competition at the Middle Court and now took advantage of securing third place today to show off.

The competitiveness of youth.

Understandable.

One could only say, Luo Geng truly is a spirited young man!

“Me?”

Xu Jin, fully aware of Luo Geng’s intentions, responded with a taunting smile.

“Yes, yes, I think you are about to break through to the Fourth Layer of Dining Dawn too, right?” Luo Geng eagerly awaited Xu Jin’s response with hope on his face.

“Uh, I’ve already made the breakthrough!” Xu Jin stated outright.

“What?

How is that possible?”

Luo Geng was shocked and stared at Xu Jin with a surprised face, feeling like he had misheard.

No.

Xu Jin hadn’t even succeeded in engraving the Small Star Gathering Pattern yet, but he had succeeded.

How could Xu Jin’s progress in breaking through to the Fourth Layer of Dining Dawn be faster than his?

He even had his uncle’s help.

“There’s nothing impossible!”

Xu Jin said with a smile, then, with a thought, he channeled his Star Power.

The skin on his hands and ankles, wherever it was exposed, suddenly shone with starlight.

In an instant, Luo Geng was stunned, his eyes widening dramatically!

“The Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn!?”

Xu Jin only smiled, withdrew the starlight, and floated away.

He had to find Instructor Ning Yuchan, carrying a plethora of questions with him.

Not far away, Yu Guan, who had been about to approach Xu Jin for a chat, was also dumbfounded by this scene.

Damn, how could this kid’s Star Picking cultivation speed over eighty-three days be so freakish!

He, Yu Guan, had started Star Pointing in thirty-nine days, with a B+ talent, the first person below A Level, and it took him only six days to break through to the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn.

As for Xu Jin…

In the distance, Lu Xianbing, witnessing this scene, was surprised, but also pondered thoughtfully.
