Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation-Chapter 80 - 76 The Kind Guidance of Senior Brothers

“Exactly!”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Han’s face filled with even more hatred, “These Blood God Sect’s Evil People have noses that are too keen.

I had just finished slaying several Fierce Beasts in the Dining Dawn Realm and got injured by accident, and they came after me.

Otherwise, even if that Altar Master is from the Star Casting Realm, he wouldn’t be able to do anything to me.”

This made Xu Jin think of the Blood Introduction Beast Taming Technique he had seen earlier.

Zhang Han’s continuous encounters with Fierce Beasts were most likely not a coincidence but the work of the Blood God Sect’s Evil People.

As for Zhang Han’s words, Xu Jin did not doubt them for a moment.

The Daoist Institute’s disciples universally recognized Second Senior Brother; he certainly had the strength to challenge those beyond his level.

Needless to say, Xu Jin had already seen three Star Weapons on Zhang Han’s person.

“By the way, may I ask for Junior Brother’s honorable surname and given name?

I find you somewhat familiar, but I can’t recall your name,” Zhang Han quickly asked.

“Second Senior Brother, my name is Xu Jin, a disciple from this year’s Star-pointing Season,”

“I’m Zhang Han, a disciple from last August’s Star-pointing Season.”

With that, the two formally made each other’s acquaintance.

“Junior Brother, I can only repay the life-saving grace slowly.

After returning to the Daoist Institute, let’s connect on the Star-picking Order when entering the Star-picking Tower.

If you ever need anything in the future, just call, and I, your Senior Brother, will surely be there.”

“Senior Brother, you’re too kind.

It was merely a helping hand.”

Swoosh!

As they were speaking, a green streak of light flashed through the valley and arrived.

Xu Jin’s gaze shifted; the instructor coming to aid was none other than Ning Yuchan.

Before she even arrived, Xu Jin already smelled the faint fragrance coming from her.

It used to be not very noticeable, but after acquiring the Spirit Sniffing Star Pattern, he became more sensitive to scents.

Xu Jin couldn’t help but take several deep breaths.

“Hmm?”

As Ning Yuchan touched down and saw Xu Jin, her expression changed; upon seeing Zhang Han severely injured, it softened slightly.

She put her crutch against Zhang Han’s shoulder, and Star Power seeped out.

“Ah, the right arm is broken, the left leg is slightly wounded, the internal organs are severely damaged, but there’s no danger to life.”

“This is?” Ning Yuchan turned her attention to the still alive Zhou Baihan.

Zhang Han quickly explained the situation, which led Ning Yuchan to take several unexpected second looks at Xu Jin.

Without using an Emblem but merely relying on his own Combat Power, he had inflicted such severe injuries on a Star Casting Seventh Layer Blood God Sect Evil Person.

Even considering a surprise attack, this Combat Power was quite impressive.

Not only was this youngster’s strength increasing rapidly, but his Combat Power was improving swiftly as well.

Her judgement hadn’t been wrong.

“Is the loot Xu Jin’s?” Ning Yuchan turned to ask Zhang Han.

“Certainly,”

Ning Yuchan then spoke to Xu Jin, “Quickly, it’s dangerous here today, and I cannot linger long.”

“What about him, do we take him?” Xu Jin asked as he looked at the still-living Zhou Baihan.

“Live prisoners are important.

I need to take him back, hand him over to the Star Patrol Guard, pry his mouth open, and see if we can trace the root and take down the Blood God Sect’s stronghold in Jinshan County,” Ning Yuchan said.

While speaking, she touched Zhou Baihan repeatedly with her crutch, and Star Power surged out to stop his bleeding; he shouldn’t die for now.

Zhou Baihan, who originally resigned himself to death, suddenly felt a flicker of hope for survival.

As long as I confess everything, there should be a chance to live, right?

If the Altar Master could abandon me, why can’t I spill everything?

This thought thoroughly cleared Zhou Baihan’s mind, and his desire to live became extremely strong.

Xu Jin took the backpack from Zhou Baihan and also took out some Silver from his bosom.

From Zhou Baihan’s body, Xu Jin smelled the living scent of over a dozen different types, but only five matched the scents he had detected on Jiang Long’s body before.

Xu Jin noted this to himself before handing Zhou Baihan over to Ning Yuchan.

“And you, do I take you back or will you go back yourself?” Ning Yuchan turned to look at Zhang Han.

Zhang Han thought for a moment and said, “Trouble the Chief Instructor, please.”

As he was severely injured, it would be too risky to return on his own, and staying would trouble Xu Jin to help and waste his time.

It was better to let Ning Yuchan take him back.

The problem was, once Ning Yuchan agreed, Xu Jin, standing aside, felt strangely anxious.

Would she be taking Zhang Han back on her own?

She hadn’t even carried him yet.

This was his teacher.

“Teacher, why don’t I take Zhang Han back?

It’s troublesome to carry two people alone,” Xu Jin suggested.

Unexpectedly, Ning Yuchan glanced at Xu Jin, a mischievous smile flashing in her eyes, “Carry?”

The next moment, Ning Yuchan abruptly lifted her crutch, and like picking up a dead fish, scooped up the severely injured Zhou Baihan, then pointed at Zhang Han.

“Climb on!”

“Ah?”

Zhang Han was bewildered, was he supposed to climb onto the crutch, or on top of Zhou Baihan?

The former was barely acceptable, but the latter…

“What, did you actually think I would carry you?

Or were you planning to go back on your own?

Or waste Xu Jin’s time?” Ning Yuchan raised an eyebrow.

“I…

I’ll climb!”

Fortunately, the crutch was long enough to accommodate another person like Zhang Han as well.

“Remember to leave the mountain before noon tomorrow.”

Leaving behind these words, Ning Yuchan held her crutches horizontally, hooking the two men like noodles and, with a burst of starlight beneath her feet, disappeared in an instant.

During the process, Xu Jin saw someone fall from the crutches, but Ning Yuchan instantly burst into action, catching them mid-air.

Cold sweat appeared on Xu Jin’s forehead.

This…

If he really was seriously injured, he should go to another instructor.

The teacher is nice, but those crutches are ice-cold!

A few minutes later, Xu Jin finished checking the spoils from Zhou Baihan’s body.

In the backpack, there were various valuable herbs and treasures totaling just over 1,600 taels, a bottle of Star Refilling Pill, two Rejuvenation Pills, and a long blade Star Weapon.

The haul, nearly three thousand taels, left Xu Jin no choice but to exclaim that it really felt a bit like the adage, “Murderers and arsonists wear gold belts.”

But those who kill will always be killed.

Prosperity on a knife-edge could quickly turn into a ghost under the blade.

After sorting through his backpack and swallowing a Star Refilling Pill to recover his Star Power, Xu Jin continued to explore.

Far away, a hundred miles out.

Having submerged himself in a stream for a while, letting the currents wash away any potential scent on him, the Altar Master of the Blood God Sect from Jinshan County, Long Yu, cautiously surfaced from the water.

“Why do I feel so unlucky?

I ran into that genius from the Taoist Institute again…”

“Old Zhou seems to have survived…”

“Old Zhou definitely won’t…

keep silent.

He’ll surely spill everything he knows…”

“So, we need to retreat…”

“And we have to retreat thoroughly…”

“Not only do we need to retreat, but I also need to leave Jinshan County for a while…”

“However, this haul is enough for me to make a swift breakthrough to the Star Refining Realm.”

After some thought, Long Yu took out a Blood Talisman and crushed it in an instant.

The moment he crushed it, the Blood Introduction Jade hanging from Long Yu’s chest gave a faint flicker.

“This is the last thing I can do for you as your Altar Master.

Whether you can escape the upcoming encirclement and survive depends on your own fate…”

The next instant, after confirming that no one was around, Long Yu shouldered his backpack, found his direction, and without going back to the base he had operated previously, he directly dove towards the direction of Pill Dawn County.

On the afternoon of July 12th, Xu Jin’s takings were around 600 taels, and he rigorously cultivated in the evening.

Continuously training hard on the morning of the 13th.

On the morning of July 13th, he wandered around casually, picking up over a hundred taels along the way, and also killed a Multicolor Tiger from the Fifth Layer of Dining Dawn.

He skinned the tiger, took its penis, and collected its teeth and bones.

The things found on a tiger were quite valuable, and even in the secular world, the set could sell for two to three hundred taels of silver.

What a pity it wasn’t a Star Beast.

If it had been a Star Beast, its value would be at least ten times greater.

At a quarter past noon, Xu Jin rushed to the nearest supply point, only to be informed by an Instructor that all disciples, bearing their own gains, should proceed to Green Mountain’s Jinshan Outer Court to regroup.

This made Xu Jin hurry fiercely, and even with continuous bursts of Flying Star Step, it took him over two hours to arrive.

When he reached, most of the Institute’s disciples had already gathered, busily discussing the hauls from this season.

“Congratulations to Senior Brother Wang for taking first place again.”

“Senior Brother Wang, could you sell the Star Weapon you’ve selected to your Junior Brother?”

“It’s no wonder Senior Brother Wang, with a haul over ten thousand taels, you alone are worth a hundred of us.”

“Gentlemen Junior Brothers, you should learn more from Senior Brother Wang and us in the future.

Don’t think that we’re only half a year ahead of you, there’s so much you need to learn.”

…

“Congratulations to Senior Brother Yu, finally taking the second spot this time.”

“Congratulations to Senior Brother Zhang…”

Most people were circling around Dao Institute’s Senior Brother Wang Weisheng, with praises echoing non-stop.

On the other hand, the group of disciples from this spring’s Star-pointing Season seemed to have grim expressions.

Regardless of ranking, their hauls were not high.

And on top of that, they were publicly schooled in front of everyone by the senior disciples, making their expressions even worse.

Particularly talents like Yue Daqi, Lu Xianbing, Ren Xiaoxiang, Yu Guan, and others, all wore looks of displeasure.

Especially Lu Xianbing, who had previously rejected over a dozen partnership offers, was now publicly humiliated by someone he had refused.

“Junior Brother Lu, I told you to partner with me.

With my experience, I would never let you suffer a loss.

If you had partnered with me, your haul wouldn’t just be over four thousand taels; it would be at least six to seven thousand taels, and ranking within the top twenty would be possible.”

Annoyed at being publicly lectured, the usually proud talent Lu Xianbing, seeing Xu Jin approaching, hurriedly pushed through the crowd to greet him.

“Brother Xu, how was your haul?”

This question from Lu Xianbing drew everyone else’s attention and thus not only Lu Xianbing, but also Yue Daqi, Ren Xiaoxiang, Yu Guan, Luo Geng, and others who were also given the opportunity to be schooled by the older peers quickly gathered around Xu Jin.

“Xu Jin, your haul must be quite good, right?”

“Xu Jin, you must have gathered quite a bit, right?”

The various people had differing thoughts, some hoping Xu Jin could contend for some pride, others wanting to divert the senior brothers’ attention, and some with other intentions.

If there’s going to be lecturing, let’s all get lectured together.

But this move made Xu Jin the focus of all the disciples’ attention.

Seeing that it was Xu Jin, who had made a splash and been promoted to team leader previously, the senior brothers all gathered around, curious about Xu Jin’s haul.

If Xu Jin’s haul wasn’t particularly high, the senior brothers would undoubtedly want to impart their wisdom to him, giving generous advice.

Xu Jin was somewhat bewildered.

It seemed that suddenly, everyone was following him to the collection point for the haul.
