Ascension to the Gods

Chapter 337 The wind started at the end of Qingping

Star Ring Essence is an extremely rare spiritual substance.

Its functions are very comprehensive.

It can not only improve the cultivation of living beings from the inside out, but also enhance their spiritual essence in all aspects.

They also have the opportunity to improve the level of their divinely bestowed talents!

This precious resource is very difficult to obtain.

Its acquisition channels are also very limited.

Only the Yingtian Division of Chang'an Prefecture, according to regulations, will include a Star Ring Essence in the Level 5 resource packs they issue.

Besides.

Even Jiang Jian never obtained a second piece here.

Just now, Xu Qing came over and put down three small cloth bags.

According to Lu Chen.

What it contained was the essence of a miniature star ring!

Small Star Ring Essence and Star Ring Essence, although they have similar names, are actually quite different.

Star Ring Essence is a controlled resource on Earth and cannot be obtained without official authorization.

If it is privately owned and its origin is unknown, it could even be prosecuted as a felony!

Small-sized Star Ring Essence is the scrap material from the outer perimeter of Star Ring Essence.

Its spiritual essence and its function are less than one percent of the true essence of the star ring.

This item is permitted to be traded and can circulate freely in the market, unregulated by Earth's laws.

Despite its many shortcomings.

However, small star ring essences are still very precious.

In the high-end market, demand far exceeds supply.

They're snapped up the moment they appear.

Although Xu Qing, as the pride of the Xu family, is not favored, the resources and connections he controls are not to be underestimated.

These miniature star ring essences were the gifts Xu Qing used to make friends and expand his network.

"I suddenly find Xu Qing much more pleasing to the eye."

Xu Gaoshan stroked the cloth bag, a smile spreading across his face. "This child has had a hard life too."

"Decades ago, his father had his title of Prince taken away by Xu Ying."

"Now, he has been dethroned as the young prince by Xu Ying's son."

"Tsk, tsk."

aside.

Lu Chen sighed and said, "The Xu family has too many branches, and they are constantly fighting each other. The internal struggles are too severe. Compared with them, my Lu family is no different from a charity."

Xu Gaoshan said, "The Lu family has two True Lords, and they are good at managing their family. Their family style has always been strict. Even if there is competition, it is kept within a healthy range."

"But the Xu family is different."

"Xu Suanzhenjun is usually elusive and rarely stays on Earth. He is lax in disciplining his family members, yet he has still managed to build such a large fortune for the Xu family."

"How could the younger generation of the Xu family not compete for it?"

While talking.

A man and a woman walked closer and looked at Jiang Jian.

"Hello, Jiang Jian."

The man spoke first, his manner polite yet arrogant, "My name is Shang Tianhai, from the Shang family of Chaoge Wonderland. I've heard Tianji mention you before, but I never expected you to have reached this level in such a short time."

In his speech, he mentioned Shang Tianji.

Shang Tianji was Jiang Jian's classmate in the 28th class when they studied at the Earth Moon Academy.

"Hello."

Jiang Jian stood up and shook hands with Shang Tianhai.

This moment.

Jiang Jian clearly sensed the powerful cultivation foundation of the man in front of him.

Obviously.

Its Breakthrough Divine Palace has existed for quite some time.

This terrifying cultivation level has almost reached the limit below the Divine Platform Realm.

Jiang Jian himself had only recently broken through to the next realm.

If facing an ordinary Divine Palace Realm cultivator, it can still overwhelm them.

However, when facing these seasoned prodigies of the third realm, one still needs a long and painstaking cultivation process to be able to compete with them in terms of cultivation foundation.

Jiang Jian was well aware that the potential he had accumulated was not only no less than that of others, but would far surpass that of these prodigies.

but.

These accumulated potentials, if they are to be realized and transformed into one's own cultivation foundation and personal strength, will require a certain amount of time.

What I lack is time.

These prodigies of the third realm have been stuck at the Divine Illumination Realm for at least a few years.

Even worse, some have wasted decades in this situation.

What they have accumulated is too much and too diverse, with a profound foundation and complete cultivation.

It is by no means something that I can catch up with overnight.

Jiang Jian speculated that with his comprehension and natural talent, he would be able to unleash his full potential and realize it within three years.

But these three years are also a period of time.

"I am Li Xinnian from the Li family."

The woman spoke gently, extending her hand to Jiang Jian as well, her eyes filled with a smile, "Now that we're acquainted, I hope the Lord of Yinshan will take good care of me." Jiang Jian shook her hand and politely replied, "We'll take care of each other."

Li Xinnian blinked and asked, "I heard you're going to marry Lu Qingqing. Is that true or false?"

Jiang Jian was silent for a moment, then said, "This is just hearsay and shouldn't be taken seriously."

Li Xinnian said, "But I heard it from the Lu family, so it can't be faked."

She turned her head to look at Lu Chen, "Young Prince of the Lu family, you said this yourself in the group chat."

The words fell.

Jiang Jian and Xu Gaoshan also looked at Lu Chen.

Lu Chen looked embarrassed and leaned against the back of the sofa, saying, "I did mention it in the group a while ago, but that was so long ago, the information is outdated."

"Besides, I just mentioned it casually. I'm not usually very interested in this kind of random news."

As he spoke, he kept a slightly tense expression, trying to maintain his persona as the young prince.

next second.

Li Xinnian directly exposed him, teasingly saying, "Stop pretending. You're the one who loves gossip the most. You're always the first to rush over when you see something new."

This moment.

He noticed the strange looks from Jiang Jian and Xu Gaoshan.

Lu Chen's ears turned red with embarrassment. He gritted his teeth and stared at Li Xinnian, unable to utter a word.

Shang Tianhai coughed lightly and said politely, "I've reserved the bar counter, and there are still a few empty seats. If you don't mind, you can come with me to rest over there."

Jiang thanked them, but decided to stay on the sofa, citing the short distance.

He could tell that Shang Tianhai's words were merely a polite formality.

If we wait for each other, we might actually go to the bar area.

Those few prodigies at the very front of the carriage will likely cause trouble again.

As Shang Tianhai and Li Xinnian left.

Xu Gaoshan took out the cloth bag and examined it closely, clearly quite fond of it.

"Are you serious?"

Lu Chen was speechless. "Small-scale star ring essence is precious, but it's not this valuable."

Xu Gaoshan clicked his tongue and said, "You don't understand. This is scrap material that True Monarch Xu Suan personally peeled off. He is my idol."

The essence of the star ring is Earth's most essential controlled resource.

Each time this substance is obtained, it requires at least one True Monarch of the Spirit Platform Realm to personally carry it out.

The miniature star ring essence of the Xu family was clearly a piece that True Monarch Xu Suan peeled off when he absorbed the star ring essence.

Lu Chen ignored him and turned to look at Jiang Jian with a slightly solemn expression. He said, "I received information from Ye Zu that the preparation period on the moon this time is a full 20 days, which is very important."

"This is also the only opportunity for one of us from the surface to be promoted from a support position to the core of the plan!"

Partitions had already been erected around the sofa.

Only Jiang Jian and Xu Gaoshan could hear what he said.

At this time.

Xu Gaoshan also put down the cloth bag, his smile vanished, and he said in a deep voice, "No one wants to be relegated to an insignificant supporting role in the battle plan."

"It's nothing to be merely a supporting role in the plan, to play a supporting part."

"Lack of fame and glory are secondary."

"but."

"Most importantly."

"It's about the allocation of core resources after the operational plan is completed!"

"This concerns our own cultivation; we cannot yield an inch!"

Xu Gaoshan put away the cloth bag and glanced at Jiang Jian and Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen is right. We must seize this opportunity and strive to become one of the core components of the battle plan within the 20-day preparation period."

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Actually, it's very difficult because there are only 40 people at the core of the battle plan. Even among the 60 geniuses on the moon, 20 will be eliminated."

"We, the geniuses of the earth, are already one step behind the Moon Realm."

"Competing with them for a place in the top 40 is as difficult as climbing to the sky!"

Lu Chen pointed to the front of the carriage, where several exceptional talents from the mortal realm were quietly cultivating.

"Ever since they boarded the special train, they have been practicing non-stop, every minute and every second."

“Every single one of these people is eager to seize a core position in the plan and wants to compete with the prodigies of the Moon Realm.”

Hear this.

Jiang Jian's gaze turned serious, and she was startled.

He suddenly reacted.

It has been a long time since I have been able to cultivate myself wholeheartedly without distractions.

Although my situation is special, I don't need to actively cultivate myself, and I can be in a state of cultivation anytime and anywhere.

But Jiang Jian knew better.

There is a difference between active cultivation and passive practice.

Since this time.

Medicine Boy Imprisoning Spirit Lock, Internal Affairs of the Ten Palaces of Yinshan, Case of Extraterrestrial Beings in the Inspectorate, Secrets of the Fourth Sea.

All sorts of things are complicated and chaotic.

Regarding one's own spiritual practice.

There were delays, more or less.
