If Starlight were to be purchased with Silver, it would cost nine thousand taels; even if obtained through other ans, the minimum was still one hundred taels per strand of Starlight, amounting to 4,500 taels.
An expenditure of five thousand taels a day, perhaps even the Lord-lieutenant Mansion couldn’t sustain that for long?
Additionally, this included over one hundred strands of Starlight that Lu Xianbing had previously saved up by himself.
Xu Jin had just practiced the application of the Gold Blaming Chapter on other parts, which comparatively consud less—only half a strand of Starlight.
Yet, the improvent on his movent technique was significant.
“Brother Jin, should we continue?” Lu Xianbing asked sowhat hesitantly.
Having fought several matches consecutively, Lu Xianbing could tell this was not a bout between equals—it was purely Xu Jin acting as his sparring partner.
Hence his hesitation.
“Let’s continue; I also want to practice my movent technique.”
An hour later, Lu Xianbing himself proposed to end.
The results from this hour-plus of training were astonishing; Lu Xianbing’s Star Ring had even achieved Instantaneous deploynt, reaching the state of Great Perfection.
Before leaving, Lu Xianbing apologetically asked, “Brother Jin, can I continue to seek you out tomorrow?”
Lu Xianbing had co to realize that Xu Jin’s prowess in Star Skill was no longer on the sa level as his; this training was completely him acting as a sparring partner.
He was practicing, but rely wasting Xu Jin’s ti.
“Continue, but I can only spar with you for an hour a day, about four matches should be fine,” Xu Jin replied.
“Thank you, Brother Jin, I really appreciate it.”
Imnsely delighted, Lu Xianbing gave his thanks again and left.
In truth, his father had also arranged for several Seventh Layer cultivators in the Star-picking Tower to act as sparring partners, but those older cultivators stuck at Seventh Layer were subpar in every aspect.
When sparring with them, Lu Xianbing had to be extra cautious.
He feared hitting them too hard, potentially killing them—that would be a waste.
Only with Xu Jin could he fight utterly unrestrained and freely, attacking as ferociously and unpredictably as he wanted.
Because no matter how fierce or tricky his attacks, Xu Jin could handle them.
Sparring with Xu Jin provided him the fastest improvent.
Thus, after a few more bouts with the Seventh Layer sparring partners arranged by his father, consuming around twenty-odd strands of Starlight a day seed about right.
Any more would be too much for even the Lord-lieutenant Mansion to handle.
And this level of consumption was only sustainable until the autumn exam.
Actually, Xu Jin also felt imnse benefits from sparring with Lu Xianbing.
Cultivating Star Skill within the Star Lamp could only practice one’s proficiency in Star Skill, at most reaching Great Perfection.
However, the practical application of Star Skill under various battle situations couldn’t be simulated within the Star Lamp.
This was why Xu Jin had previously been keen on facing challenges in the Martial Arts Secret Realm—it was beneficial for real combat.
Yet during those challenges, many of Xu Jin’s ideas could not be executed as the opponents neither cooperated nor gave him ti.
But when sparring with Lu Xianbing, many of his ideas could be realized and tested.
For example, his proficiency in using the Golden Refine Chapter had improved significantly.
Within just an hour, Xu Jin’s body could turn from unimaginable angles.
Over the next few days, Xu Jin planned to practice these during his sparring sessions with Lu Xianbing.
Also included were the newly learned Star Skills: Star Rope and Star Mist.
Star Mist couldn’t be shown in front of Lu Xianbing.
Whereas Star Rope needed to be cultivated to Great Perfection within the Star Lamp before he could explore its specific applications in actual combat.
*****
At night, after mastering the Golden Refine Chapter, Xu Jin swallowed a Transcendence Pill that had only been nourished for half a day.
Xu Jin had noticed this aspect earlier.
For items like Pills, as soon as they are placed inside the Star Lamp for nourishnt, an hour’s nourishnt would enhance the Pill for an hour, and half a day’s nourishnt would boost the Pill for half a day.
However, only after nourishing for a day would there be any noticeable signs, like a halo of starlight emanating.
Nonetheless, the effectiveness of nourishing a Pill is most prominent on the first day, and after that, the incrental benefits weaken.
Now that Xu Jin’s Divine Soul Power had reached the Third Layer of Refining Star, he didn’t need Pills for recovery; even if two or three tenths were depleted, a two-hour sleep would completely restore it.
Therefore, Xu Jin planned to switch all the Pills being nourished in the Star Lamp to Transcendence Pills, while also selecting a few to experint with.
He wanted to observe the effects of nourishing for three, five, seven, or nine days, or even beyond nine days, to see what differences there were in results for different nourishnt durations.
As soon as the Transcendence Pill was ingested, Xu Jin began to vigorously circulate his Star Power.
Like a rampaging flood, it continuously circulated and surged throughout his body, roaming back and forth like passing floods, each traversal, aided by the increasingly strong sensory abilities of Mingji Star Pattern, left Xu Jin feeling a tad quicker in the circulation of Star Power within his body.
It seed his body was becoming more perable under the tempering of Star Power.
After one round of cultivation, Xu Jin felt itchy all over, nearly there.
“Hm?
Your first cultivation of the Golden Refine Chapter was already extraordinarily effective; cultivating with one or two more Transcendence Pills should yield phased gains,” Qi Shanye’s voice suddenly rang out.
Turned out Qi had already arrived but had not revealed himself, silently observing Xu Jin’s cultivation.
“Phased gains?”
Xu Jin swallowed another Transcendence Pill that had been nourished for half a day and began cultivating the Golden Refine Chapter again.
Half an hour later, just before this cultivation session was about to end, Xu Jin suddenly felt an unbearable itchiness all over his body, followed by a sensation of sothing surfacing under his skin.
Then, an abrupt, pungent sll engulfed the entire room in an instant.
