CHAPTER 802: CHAPTER 324: FORCING HIM INTO A CORNER (PART 2)

If the core leadership can fully grasp the seventh-tier Meteor Star Pattern, its significance is extraordinary.

If you can’t win, you surely can outrun them, right?

Cheng Yuxiao still remembers that the speed Star Pattern of Tianyang Star Hall is of the seventh-tier middle rank.

Previously, the senior leadership of Da Chen National Daoist School was unable to compete against, or escape from, the leadership of Tianyang Star Hall.

But now, it’s possible to fail to defeat them.

Even if we can’t win, we can surely outrun them and escape!

Over time, the strength of Da Chen National Daoist School can definitely be enhanced by one or two taels.

For a faction’s strength, not to mention a one-tael improvement, even a half-tael enhancement is substantial.

In the next moment, National Master Cheng Yuxiao realized his haste; he shouldn’t have quickly taught those people and sent them away, he should have kept them here longer to teach them together.

But now, calling them back to teach them isn’t a good idea.

They’re all smart people.

Many can easily associate things with Xu Jin.

Although the current core leadership can be trusted, one must be cautious.

So it’s better to wait a few days and then teach them one by one.

However, the task rewards for the disciples of the National Taoist Institute can now include higher-tier Great Gathering Star Pattern and Meteor Star Pattern.

Previously, it was difficult to cook without rice, wanting to reward but lacking higher-tier Star Patterns.

Now, hopefully the disciples will have enough merits to learn them.

Of course, the National Master and Elder Peng should practice first.

Once they have mastered them, their abilities can be further improved.

And the awakened Elder Peng by the National Master was beyond ecstatic.

He was delighted because Palace Master Cheng Yuxiao’s laughter in the past three months exceeded the total of the past twenty years.

"Elder Peng, how is Master Fu’s refining of the defensive Star Artifact, using the Golden Snake Scale Armor confiscated by Xu Jin and others, of the sixth-tier rank?" the National Master suddenly asked.

"National Master, I just inquired the day before yesterday, and the first batch of five top-grade sixth-tier defensive Star Artifacts are nearing completion, in about ten days or half a month." Elder Peng responded.

"Push them again tomorrow, tell them I need them urgently!"

After speaking, Cheng Yuxiao continued, "Currently, Xu Jin is alone in the Galaxy Battlefield, isolated and helpless, and yesterday faced an ambush, must quickly get him some protective treasures.

This sixth-tier top-grade defensive Star Artifact must be delivered to Xu Jin as soon as it’s completed."

"Understood, I will remind them again."

"Also, find Kou Jing tomorrow, make sure he prepares several sixth-tier top-grade emblems for his disciple, to send them together when ready."

"Palace Master, I have noted it."

"Furthermore, keep an eye on Thunder Star Pattern and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that can aid in enhancing Star Patterns. If found, procure them at all costs and deliver them to Xu Jin." National Master Cheng Yuxiao instructed.

Elder Peng hesitated slightly, "National Master, at all costs?"

After asking, Elder Peng added, "National Master, the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for enhancing Star Patterns are incredibly precious and typically only appear at auctions, making them extremely costly.

If we bid at all costs, acquiring one or two items is feasible, but if many, the cost could be substantial.

By then, stored resources of the Star Tower and cherished supplies may not circulate well."

"No problem, just go ahead with the bidding.

Once completed, just give me an invoice."

"An invoice?" Elder Peng was puzzled.

"Exactly!"

Cheng Yuxiao nodded heavily and then explained to Elder Peng, who was still confused, "Since we hold power, we must wield it decisively!

The wealth amassed in the depths of the Imperial Palace is nearly rotting.

Rather than letting it rot, it could be utilized to strengthen our National Taoist Institute or boost Xu Jin’s cultivation level!"

Upon hearing this, Elder Peng nodded in agreement with National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s approach, although he harbored some concerns, "Palace Master, my worry is that the Emperor might react recklessly!"

"Elder Peng, in two or three months, can you completely absorb the Meteor Star Pattern and Great Gathering Star Pattern?" National Master Cheng Yuxiao countered instead of answering.

"Palace Master, a little over a month is ample, two months is definitely enough!"

"I am also ready, and so are the others! Do you understand?" Cheng Yuxiao asked.

Elder Peng was momentarily stunned, suddenly understanding National Master Cheng Yuxiao’s plan, and despite being initially astonished, he was completely convinced.

Palace Master, truly deserving of the title!

"At that time, it’s not about whether the foolish Emperor will act desperately, I want him to act desperately!" National Master Cheng Yuxiao sneered coldly!

*****

Within the Star-picking Tower’s Star Dome Secret Realm in Da Chen Battle City, Xu Jin slowly opened his eyes, feeling somewhat regretful.

The Enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm for two hours had ended completely.

The contemplation of the Clearing Soul Star Pattern also concluded, but the results of the contemplation and deduction were not ideal.

In the last hour, Xu Jin utilized one Gold Star and one Bright Star on the Clearing Soul Star Pattern!

The difficulty of deducing the Divine Soul Star Pattern was fully embodied in the Clearing Soul Star Pattern.

With the Enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm aiding the process, the high-tier Enlightenment of one Gold Star and the inherent high-tier Enlightenment of the Bright Star barely pushed the Clearing Soul Star Pattern from Sixth Tier Upper to Seventh Tier Middle.

All of this was thanks to having previously deduced the Clearing Soul up to Sixth Tier Upper and beyond.

Essentially, two Gold Stars only elevated the Clearing Soul Star Pattern by less than two small ranks.

The Bright Star’s unique ability to directly elevate a Star Pattern by one small rank helped push the Clearing Soul Star Pattern from Seventh Tier Middle to Seventh Tier Upper.

Ultimately, Xu Jin consumed a total of four Gold Stars and two Bright Stars.

This month’s Enlightenment time in the Star Dome Secret Realm was entirely utilized.

Xu Jin still had one Gold Star and two Bright Stars left!

Despite this, the gains were substantial.

His overall Star Power increased significantly, his speed surged dramatically, and he acquired the special Star Skill of Starlight Flowing Flashes, which provides burst speed.
