"As a master, I had no more to say."
"However, since you are about to embark on a long journey, I, as your teacher, must prepare you adequately."
While speaking, Kou Jing actually took out six elixir bottles and two pieces of Jade in one go, and with just one glance, Xu Jin’s expression changed drastically.
The six elixir bottles were all labeled Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pill.
Ten pills per bottle.
That meant a total of sixty pills!
"These are sixty Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, consider them a little provision for your cultivation from your teacher; you make use of them first."
Even though he had some expectations, when Kou Jing made this statement, Xu Jin still gasped in shock.
Such wealth was astonishing.
You have to understand, for Xu Jin to auction off two Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills from the auction, it would require at least thirty thousand points of Taoist Merit, which, when converted to Starlight, would also demand three thousand strands.
Most people purchase them a few at a time.
But the teacher gave six bottles at once!
Xu Jin estimated, even if Kou Jing’s fortune from engraving Emblems was immense, this move would probably have bankrupted him.
He immediately refused, indicating it was too much.
Kou Jing replied with a wry smile, "The filial piety you’ve shown your teacher is priceless; why didn’t you say it was too valuable then?
And now, for such ordinary wealth that can be bought, you’re calling it precious?
Remember, in this world, anything that can be traded for with Taoist Merit or Starlight is actually not a true top-tier treasure.
The real top-tier treasures are the ones that cannot be traded with wealth.
Only those exchanged via barter are truly rare wonders!
That piece of Jade you gave to your teacher is one of them."
After a pause, Kou Jing added, "Out of these six bottles of Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills, only one was prepared by me for you; the other five were sent by the State Preceptor."
After finishing his words, Kou Jing explained the reasons.
It was compensation from the State Preceptor when Kou Jing transferred the remaining Divine Soul Power within the Jade to him.
Otherwise, Kou Jing himself wouldn’t have been so wealthy.
Since the teacher had said so, Xu Jin accepted them graciously.
"There are no Emblems at the moment! The Nine-star Tide is imminent, and I have been tirelessly rushing to prepare Emblems, with the State Preceptor even personally helping me with the Warm Dream recovery.
Once the Nine-star Tide is over, your teacher shall have some free time.
At that time, perhaps your teacher will go find you in the Galaxy Battlefield.
Inside these two pieces of Jade are my most skilled Fifth Order Star Technique, Fierce Light, and Sixth Order Star Technique, Great Sun; you can study them when you have time."
After finishing, Kou Jing stretched languidly, "Alright, I need to leave now, no time to waste. In at most four two-hour periods, the Nine-star Tide will come, and I have to rush to prepare more Emblems."
Having said this, Kou Jing departed on the path of the stars, and Xu Jin sent him off respectfully!
Within Xu Jin’s Lower Star Palace, two Mingji Star Patterns were running at full capacity, and the chaotic and violent Star Power in the sky was getting closer and closer.
Perhaps, it wouldn’t even take four two-hour periods before it would descend.
The Nine-star Tide was about to arrive.
In Wanyi, Ji Mansion.
Ji Bang, who had just returned to the mansion, hadn’t settled down when he saw the butler come over quietly with a piece of Jade.
After scanning it briefly, Ji Bang’s complexion subtly changed.
"Meng, that fellow, is quicker than me! And he even plans to send his granddaughter to Xu Jin’s side for experience!
Could he be trying to accomplish a fait accompli?
Or is it a case of ’the early bird gets the worm’?"
As Ji Bang frowned and paced back and forth, he thought, "This won’t do; the grandson-in-law I, Ji Bang, have chosen cannot be snatched away by others! Moreover, our Hongli is nearly betrothed to Xu Jin; I can’t let old Meng take advantage."
A few moments later, Ji Bang called the butler over again and instructed him with two fingers.
"Two things, first, from this moment onward, send a message to those in the Galaxy Battlefield to procure Dragon Turtle Soul Refining Pills through various channels, as well as Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to break through Cultivation Level bottlenecks, and to elevate Hongli’s Cultivation Level with all effort; when it’s about right, she should also be sent to the Galaxy Battlefield.
Young people, full of vigor, mustn’t let the Meng Family gain the upper hand!
This is about the future successor to the State Preceptor."
"The second matter, you tell my second brother to take you, with generous gifts, take some of the Treasury’s longevity-enhancing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, along with a few Experts, and go here first to prepare the way for me," instructed Ji Bang.
A few moments later, the butler left to carry out the orders.
