Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Xu Jin left the Pill Dawn Palace with mixed emotions as a saying from his previous life suddenly came to mind.

"A lord treats me with the respect due to a national scholar, and I shall repay him as a national scholar."

The price that the National Master Cheng Yuxiao paid to the Wood Spirit Palace for a Third-tier Upper Thunder Origin Star Pattern was an entire Second-tier Star Domain.

To be precise, it was a Second-tier Star Domain plus one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Star Will of that domain.

Because the standard for controlling a Star Domain, besides conquering the targeted domain, requires the acquisition of at least one-tenth of the Heaven and Earth Star Will.

In this way, owning this Heaven and Earth Star Will when entering, one would not be repelled by the current domain but would merge naturally into it, which is of significant importance.

The value... is priceless!

Xu Jin had recently obtained a lot of Heaven and Earth Star Will, so he was very clear about the value of these Wills.

Priceless!

Using a treasure of immeasurable value to exchange for a Third-tier Upper Thunder Origin Star Pattern, whether it's a gain or a loss is hard to say.

But it is certain that if Xu Jin didn't need it, the National Master would probably not have made the exchange.

A single series of Star Power, to form combat capability, simply having Source Power Star Patterns is not enough.

For this reason, when Elder Peng was trading with the Wood Spirit Palace, he made sure to include something extra.

Chain Star Patterns.

Considered a relatively powerful auxiliary Star Pattern, most suitable for Thunder Star Skill and Wood Star Skill.

Simply put, a Third-tier Upper Chain Star Pattern can split a Thunder Star Skill into two branches.

When you strike once, it's actually three strikes.

The burst of Thunder Light can be called Chain Lightning.

It's very practical.

If evolved into a high-tier, the function of this Star Pattern becomes extremely terrifying.

It can attack multiple targets or focus on one.

But generally speaking, there are very few who would spend a huge price on a Third-tier Upper auxiliary Star Pattern.

As for investing Gold Stars to evolve it to Sixth or Seventh Tier and above, that's unheard of, not even enough to evolve the main combat Star Pattern.

For the moment, Xu Jin had no such plans and would just make use of it.

There were too many things to do, too many Star Patterns to evolve.

But there are only so many Gold Stars and Bright Stars.

When he returned to his own small courtyard, Xu Jin began to examine the fifth piece of Jade.

Inside the fifth Jade, there were two parts of content.

One was a letter of authorization issued by the Wood Spirit Palace.

Holders of this authorization seal could manufacture and openly sell the engraving of Low-level Star Healing Emblems without being investigated by the Wood Spirit Palace.

Following the authorization seal was a warning.

Any unauthorized sale of Low-level Star Healing Emblems would result in the Wood Spirit Palace stopping at nothing to destroy them. Moreover, the Wood Spirit Palace would sever all trade with the force to which the person belonged, including transactions for Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Tier Star Healing Emblems.

Anyone who sold Star Healing Emblems obtained from the Wood Spirit Palace to forces wanted by the Wood Spirit Palace would be immediately cut off from all trade by the Palace!

Xu Jin was astonished as he read on.

This was essentially a declaration of pure monopoly!

How overbearing the Wood Spirit Palace was!

As long as one learned the rudiments of Star Healing, with determination, it could definitely be spread.

Punishing one or two is easy, but ten or a hundred thousand would be very difficult, no?

Theoretically, such a monopoly should be unworkable.

However, Elder Peng solemnly gave him this piece of Jade, instructing him to carry it with him so that if he was ever audited by a disciple of the Wood Spirit Palace while selling Low-level Star Healing, he could present it.

This indicated that this monopolistic practice was recognized by the major forces.

Then...

With the mindset of uncovering the secret, Xu Jin sank his thoughts into the piece of Star Jade that contained the Low-level Star Healing.

The moment he immersed himself, Xu Jin was dumbfounded.

This...

What first emerged before Xu Jin's eyes was a green light screen with text appearing within it.

This text was the usage instructions for this piece of Initial Tier Star Jade.

The Wood Spirit Palace referred to this Initial Tier Star Healing Star Jade as the Mother Chapter.

During use, one's Divine Soul Power should sink into the Mother Chapter, then draw out the Wood Origin Power within and introduce it into a Third-tier or Fourth-tier Star Jade with Wood Series attributes, letting it flow naturally. The engraver only needed to continue guiding with the Divine Soul Power.

In two quarters of an hour, the Chapter could be completed.

After five uses, the Chapter needed to be replenished with Wood attribute power from a Fourth-tier Wood attribute Star Jade.

If used more than five times consecutively without replenishing Wood attribute power, the Chapter would be damaged due to the depletion of Star Power.

If the Chapter is damaged or lost, the Wood Spirit Palace will not replace it; one would need to repurchase it.

This series of instructions left Xu Jin with both an aching jaw and astonishment.

If these instructions were true...

Then wasn't this Mother Chapter from the Wood Spirit Palace essentially the photocopier of his previous world?

The so-called manufacturing of a Chapter only required the provision of a Wood Attribute base and continued guidance by the Divine Soul.

Think of the Wood Attribute base as the paper, and the continual Divine Soul guidance as the toner, with the Mother Chapter as a photocopier and original document combined, essentially a Star Power photocopier.

This was more than just a simple monopoly.

It was a monopoly of technology and hegemony.

Xu Jin began to understand why the Wood Spirit Palace's monopoly was successful.

With technology leading, followed by hegemony, one could only accept.

However, Xu Jin was somewhat unconvinced, considering himself an expert in the study of Emblems by now.

He didn't believe that he couldn't understand the Star Patterns within the Mother Chapter.

If he understood them, couldn't he make copies?

He owned Third-tier and Fourth-tier Star Jades with Wood attributes, which he had obtained in the Floral Star Domain.

Right then, Xu Jin quickly created a Third-tier Wood Attribute base.
