But most Emblem Masters could only successfully produce ten to fifteen Emblems in one day.
Xu Jin on the other hand, was worth five or six people on his own.
He was indeed like charcoal in snowy weather.
[Taoist Merit: 7651 points]
[Starlight: 15135 strands]
With this sale, the Starlight that Xu Jin had spent until he was down to nothing at the Changsheng Auction House two days ago had been replenished.
The night before last, Xu Jin had disguised himself as Heavenly Saint Qi and made a trip to the Changsheng Auction House.
His main targets were two things: Star Cores and the Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills.
Xu Jin managed to acquire a total of three sets of six Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, with each set’s transaction price starting from 3900 strands of Starlight upward.
Xu Jin planned to nourish these six Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills to Third Essence before choosing the right opportunity to consume them.
Besides that, Xu Jin also won three Sixth Order Star Cores and a set of ten Fifth Order Star Cores.
It was still a decent harvest.
The three Sixth Order Star Cores greatly increased Xu Jin’s sense of security.
They were equivalent to three Sixth Order Emblems, which could be extremely useful in critical moments.
Unfortunately, there was still a gap compared to real Sixth Order Emblems.
A real Sixth Order Emblem, after being nourished by Xu Jin, theoretically had the power to annihilate Sixth Tier Experts.
But with Sixth Order Star Cores, the chance of severely injuring a Sixth Tier Expert still depended on luck.
Back at his own courtyard, his sister Jiang’er went to the Martial Arts Secret Realm to cultivate her Star Skill, while Xu Jin was cultivating his Star Patterns within the Star Lamp.
Last time, the Sixth Order Star Technique Void Breaking given by his Uncle Master Demon Arrow Mo Ji contained five Star Patterns, all of which were brand new to Xu Jin and required him to learn and cultivate them one by one.
Moreover, this Sixth Order Star Technique was a compound technique comprising three series of Star Patterns: Wind, Gold, and Spatial Series—all of which were Star Patterns Xu Jin had never encountered before, making them extremely difficult to learn.
Even with the Star Lamp for practice, he still had not succeeded.
While practicing, the Mingji Star Pattern of Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace suddenly started flashing rapidly.
There was a powerful fluctuation of Star Power approaching.
By his senses, it should be Seventh Tier.
Elder Peng, the Chief Steward?
Just as Xu Jin was about to go out to meet them, a stream of Starlight descended; it was Academician Kou Jing dropping directly into Xu Jin’s courtyard.
Upon seeing Xu Jin, Kou Jing burst into hearty laughter.
But before he laughed, he casually raised a shield of Starlight, taking Xu Jin into the living room and isolating the inside from the outside.
"Good lad, had the State Preceptor not told me, I wouldn’t have known of your abilities!
I’m basking in your glory here.
If not for you, my breakthrough would have certainly failed!
Let alone receiving the Eighth Tier Lower high-tier Fire Origin Star Pattern directly from the State Preceptor just yesterday!
Kou Jing, rubbing his hands excitedly, had a face full of gratitude.
Only someone like him, who had failed several breakthroughs and stagnated at the Sixth Tier Peak for decades, could understand the difficulty of a breakthrough!
And only he could realize how significant this help was.
Xu Jin knew that Academician Kou, being someone who had experienced it firsthand, could not have been kept in the dark!
Certainly, Academician Kou must have felt something at the time.
"I was going to come a few days ago, but I was stabilizing my realm right after my breakthrough those days. These past few days, I received a mission from the State Preceptor and was urgently producing a batch of Fifth and Sixth Tier Emblems until I finished the task today, and finally had the time," Kou Jing explained.
"No need to explain, teacher. You have taught me so much; as your Disciple, I’m just giving a little back to you," Xu Jin said with a smile.
Kou Jing showed a sigh of appreciation, "You have no idea, lad; this little bit is what others hope for in their lifetime or even their entire life!
To be honest, if you weren’t my disciple, with this favor, you could live off me for the rest of my life!
It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s a re-creation!"
"Teacher, you exaggerate," Xu Jin replied.
Hearing that, Kou Jing did not say more; if he did, his disciple might start feeling embarrassed.
"The path of us Master and Disciple is still long! I won’t say more, here are two Sixth Rank top-grade Emblems named ’Great Sun.’ When I used to make them, they were at most of Sixth Tier Middle Rank.
But now, their Rank is Sixth Tier Upper.
Make sure to keep them well, and feel free to use them as life-saving tools when necessary.
Don’t be afraid to waste them!
Now that I’ve broken through, my speed in producing Emblems has improved.
Without saying more, making an extra two or three Sixth Tier Emblems for you to save your life every year is not a problem!" Kou Jing said.
"Then as your disciple, I’ll accept them," Xu Jin received them straightforwardly and thanked him openly.
"Right, I came here today just for this matter, so I will take my leave now. You should prepare yourself well, since you will also be part of the battle tomorrow!" Having said that, Kou Jing turned around to leave, but suddenly he asked, "By the way, do you have any Fifth Tier Emblems left?"
Xu Jin hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes."
After all, he had given all that he had last time to his Uncle Master, and it would be awkward to ask for more now even though he had barely managed to produce a few Fifth Tier Lower Emblems.
But just by seeing Xu Jin’s hesitation, Kou Jing understood.
"You lad, why be formal with your teacher! You can’t lack Emblems, especially not the ones you need!
I’ve turned in all the Fifth Tier Emblems in my possession to the National Taoist Institute.
Wait for me, I’ll go back and start engraving now!
Before you leave for battle tomorrow, I’ll definitely bring you a few Fifth Tier Emblems!"
Having said this, Kou Jing left in a hurry with a flash of Starlight!
