Seeing Elder Peng, knowing that Xu Jin had also given Elder Peng a Star Jade containing one-tenth of Divine Soul Power, State Preceptor Cheng Yuxiao repeated the word "good" three times.
"Elder Peng, you don’t know, I was just worrying.
This piece of jade raises our chances of breaking through the Fifth Tier to condense the Primordial Spirit to over eighty percent, extremely certain.
Should I use it, or should you use it?
If I use it, in the future our Dachen will possess the power to confront the two Star Lords.
But if you use it, it could extend your life by two hundred and four years.
In two hundred and four years, your chances of breaking through to the Eighth Tier are still quite high, calculating, it comes to an extension of three hundred and six years.
If you could extend your life by two to three hundred and six years, it would solve my worries for the future. Even if something unexpected happens to me, my successor to the position of State Preceptor could grow up smoothly under your care.
Actually, before you came, I had already decided that you should be the one to use it.
Your lifespan already has less than ten years left.
I still have time, even if I can’t break through this time, there will still be opportunities later.
But I didn’t expect, didn’t expect that Xu Jin would really handle this matter perfectly," Cheng Yuxiao said happily.
Hearing this, Elder Peng shook his head, "If there was only one piece, it should definitely be used by you, Palace Master. If you use it and condense the Primordial Spirit, your combat power will significantly increase. Then, even if the two Star Lords joined forces, as long as you, State Preceptor, are in Wanyi, they couldn’t afford the cost.
Me, I am old, even extending my life would just be prolonging the inevitable.
But Xu Jin, this good child, has helped us solve this together.
Really a good child, to give away such a precious thing just like that."
"Thinking about it, Xu Jin must have great fortune on his side. The Fighting God Sect had been gathering resources in the Star Domain for years, and unexpectedly, Xu Jin swept them away in a single stroke, and in the end, it benefited us," Cheng Yuxiao said.
"Fortune is an elusive thing. But Xu Jin’s character is certainly worthy of such fortune.
Many have fortune, but few have the character of Xu Jin—one in a hundred!"
"Elder Peng, any results from our recent search for the Thunder Origin Star Pattern? Xu Jin’s cultivation has broken through to the Fourth Tier, we need to hurry," Cheng Yuxiao suddenly asked.
"Palace Master, I’ve been actively working on it. Currently, there are only two places that might sell the Thunder Origin Star Pattern: Wood Spirit Palace and the Doom-suppressing Star Hall. The Doom-suppressing Star Hall outright refuses to discuss this matter. No matter how good the terms, they won’t sell the Thunder Origin Star Pattern.
However, the Wood Spirit Palace is willing to sell Thunder Origin Star Patterns below the Fourth Tier.
But the price is extremely high.
It can basically be described as a lion’s share," Elder Peng said.
"What price?" Cheng Yuxiao asked.
"It’s no longer a matter of price, it’s priceless," Elder Peng said bitterly, "Wood Spirit Palace directly wants a conquered Second-tier Star Domain. The Dachen National Daoist School has only conquered five Second-tier Star Domains in total, they truly have a lion’s mouth wide open."
"Thunder Origin Star Pattern below the Fourth Tier, directly priced as a conquered Second-tier Star Domain, really is a lion’s mouth wide open."
Cheng Yuxiao frowned and then suddenly said, "Elder Peng, once you make your breakthrough today, take a trip and settle this matter, retrieve the Thunder Origin Star Pattern as quickly as possible."
"Really give it?" Elder Peng said in astonishment.
This is urgently needed by Xu Jin. We must get it for him quickly!
However, Elder, you can try to get something in return, at the very least, let the Wood Spirit Palace offer a spot in the basic Star Healing learning as compensation," Cheng Yuxiao said.
"Alright, since it’s urgently needed by Xu Jin, I will personally make the trip this afternoon.
Honestly, just based on the two pieces of Star Jade Xu Jin brought back, containing the drug efficacy of nearly 110 Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, not to mention a Second-tier Star Domain, even if it costs exhausting a Third-tier Star Domain, we must get it back for him," Elder Peng said.
Cheng Yuxiao’s words made Elder Peng’s face change instantly, "Not two pieces? Did you deceive me, Palace Master, is it only one piece?
If it’s only one, I firmly refuse to use it. It must be preserved for you, Palace Master."
Seeing Elder Peng’s agitation, Cheng Yuxiao smiled and said, "Elder Peng, don’t rush, it’s not two pieces, nor is it one piece, but three pieces!"
Elder Peng’s face changed to surprise and joy, and then he shook his head bitterly, "Giving us three pieces, Xu Jin surely doesn’t realize how precious this thing is, right?"
"The third piece was given to Academician Kou Jing."
Elder Peng suddenly laughed, "Ah, it seems, this young man’s filial piety is truly the most precious thing under Heaven.
Anyone who can be his teacher is indeed blessed."
As they were speaking, within the back hall of the Pill Dawn Palace, even with Starlight blocking, the overwhelming presence of Divine Soul energy could not be contained, catching Elder Peng by surprise.
"Palace Master, what is this?"
"Kou Jing couldn’t wait any longer, he’s breaking through directly in my palace, you’ll be next."
Two hours later, Academician Kou Jing walked out from the back hall, his whole demeanor bright and vibrant. As he approached, a cluster of Starlight rose directly behind his head, morphing into the form of Kou Jing, and then he bowed courteously from afar to National Master Cheng Yuxiao and Elder Peng.
"State Preceptor, Elder Peng, a difference of just one tier, but it’s as vast as Heaven and Earth.
Breaking through to condense the Primordial Spirit, the world is profoundly different.
Before, I could work tirelessly to produce five or six top-grade Fifth Tier Emblems a day.
Now, I can easily make ten a day.
Previously, creating one Sixth Tier Emblem required meticulous preparation over a month.
