Su Chen had indeed never heard of these Morning Star Embers in the past, but it wasn't because he was ignorant and ill-inford.
The Dust Star Sea had as many materials and resources related to professions as there were hairs on an ox, and they were excessively complex.
Given his age, for many things, he would only specifically learn about them when they were relevant.
"This is indeed a good item."
Secretly, Wei Zhenghong transmitted a ntal fluctuation. "A Morning Star transforming into Starfire is an active process. However, the birth of these Embers is quite special."
"They are only born when a Morning Star is about to transform into Starfire, all their power has condensed into one, yet they fail. There is indeed a certain probability of extracting a profession from within and fusing it with oneself. I don't know where this Qin Yun obtained it from."
Even he was sowhat astonished. If Qin Yun were just making empty promises, it would seem like he was using the public eye to force Su Chen to bury the hatchet with him.
But by bringing out such a precious item, even though he was displeased with Qin Yun, he had to admit that there was indeed a bit of sincerity present.
For the Morning Star Tier, because the main tier was too high, even taking on an ordinary Specialized Class would consu an enormous amount of energy.
Therefore, items that could erase or substitute the required objects for Profession Requirents were all extrely precious, let alone a good item like this that could directly extract a profession.
For Low-Tier Practitioners, it ironically wasn't that important.
'Father actually still has Morning Star Embers in his hands.' Qin Lie, standing to the side, twitched his brows, feeling extrely surprised.
But at the sa ti, he also breathed a sigh of relief. The Qin Family had already cut off nearly half of their assets, intending to gift them to Su Chen. Originally, he was still sowhat apprehensive about whether this could satisfy Su Chen.
But adding this piece of Morning Star Embers, it should be foolproof.
It seed... Qin Yun truly was going to die. Seeing Qin Yun bring out such a precious item, the throats of so high-ranking professionals bobbed. What a pity... this was a gift for Su Chen.
Pairs of gazes landed on Su Chen. However, they saw him remain silent for a long ti before suddenly revealing a smiling face and waving his hand. "Senior Brother is truly too polite. Such a precious treasure, I cannot accept a reward without having earned it."
"It is not a reward, but an apology." Qin Yun spoke extrely straightforwardly. "With Junior Brother's current horizons, I'm afraid only this item can barely catch your eye. Please, you must accept it."
Qin Yun's posture was set extrely low.
'Are the Remnant Spirit's thods on this whatever Ember? Since it's so precious, I don't even need to consider how to accept it without arousing suspicion.'
Not only was the Remnant Spirit scheming against him, but he was also scheming against the Remnant Spirit. If Qin Yun's thods were too crude, easily accepting it would instead seem suspicious.
'This is perfect.' Su Chen pondered inwardly and already reached out his hand. "Since Senior Brother says so, if I decline any further, I would be disrespecting you."
He reached out to take it, appearing sowhat solemn. "Many thanks to Senior Brother for gifting this treasure."
He originally wanted to touch this thing to see if the Status Panel would react, but then he thought that the Remnant Spirit might have left thods on it.
Under the Public Eye, he also didn't want to leak his secrets. After a slight thought, he decided to wait until he returned to slowly figure it out.
Seeing Su Chen accept it, Qin Yun's deanor seed to relax quite a bit.
Qin Lie was visibly happy to the naked eye. The others, however, couldn't help but sigh with emotion inwardly. This Star Seed Su indeed had the magnanimity to tolerate others. If it were an ordinary person being targeted repeatedly, they would definitely have to settle scores with the Qin Family.
"Co, co, co, Hall Master Zhang." After greeting Su Chen, Qin Yun, accompanied by the clanking sound of chains, began to toast the people present one by one.
"Venerable Qin Yun, you're truly too polite." Hall Master Zhang didn't dare to be haughty and hastily stood up.
Not accepting the invitation was one thing, but now that they were here, facing Qin Yun, no one dared to truly reveal any contempt. Su Chen had the qualifications, but that didn't an they did.
Outside the Qin Family Compound, Chu Lingyuan and Qing Cang were both present. However, the sect mbers coming and going seed completely unable to see the two of them.
Qing Cang's brows were tightly knitted. "Morning Star Embers? Where did he obtain this item?"
Chu Lingyuan was also quite surprised. "This item is extrely rare and precious. Calculating carefully, it seems only Mo Zhushan, who perished two hundred years ago, is a possibility. At the ti, that person killed a Head of Seat from the sect. The Ancient King sent Qin Yun and three other Heads of Seat to pursue and kill him, claiming he was killed on the spot..."
"So it was him," Qing Cang suddenly realized.
Chu Lingyuan then said, "I told you that you were overthinking. To this day, what else can Qin Yun do? He wouldn't dare."
Qing Cang snorted coldly. "If he had known this would be the outco, why do it in the first place?"
"If he had known this would be the outco?" Chu Lingyuan froze slightly and couldn't help but shake his head. Who could have known that Su Chen would rise so quickly? Who could have known that Su Chen would be able to seize the Star Pri position in this iteration? And who could have known that he could purify Mist Embers, leading to the Starfire improving?
He sighed, "Qin Yun cleaned out quite a few people a while ago. The remaining people can be looked after slightly. Qin Lie is still considered soone who knows when to advance and retreat."
"Qin Lie?" Qing Cang fell silent. As Qin Yun's eldest son, they had even teased Qin Lie when he was young. In terms of relationships, they were actually closer to him than to the other Qin Family mbers.
Qing Cang didn't dwell on this matter and instead changed the subject. "Based on what I investigated previously, as well as what the people you sent found out, the Ancient Kings disappeared at a very bad ti. Those Evil Gods seem to be planning a major move."
Chu Lingyuan smiled bitterly, feeling quite helpless. "It truly is a very bad ti..."
...
"Everyone, I am bound by this object and cannot stay for long. I hope you can all forgive ." Qin Yun toasted a round of drinks, tugged at the chains behind him, making them clank, and spoke with an apologetic tone, not looking embarrassed at all.
"Please do as you wish, please do as you wish..."
The crowd present spoke up one after another, watching Qin Yun gradually depart.
Hearing the voices behind him gradually beco lively again, Qin Yun's gentle smile gradually vanished, becoming expressionless. Finally, he even looked faintly ashen.
Only when he returned to his room did he chuckle lightly. "A Rising Sun in the East..."
He slowly closed his eyes, quietly waiting for Su Chen to enter the trap.
The Remnant Spirit's origins were unpredictable. Although he had been scamd by it several tis, it could indirectly prove its extraordinary thods.
Even though Su Chen's growth speed was extrely fast, bluntly speaking, he was still just a 7th-Tier Class-User right now. It was impossible for him to block that Remnant Spirit.
"If the Remnant Spirit uses Su Chen's body to befriend , I wonder if it can prompt Chu Lingyuan to lift this house arrest of mine..."
...
After Qin Yun left, everyone gradually let loose again. The topic of conversation mainly focused on Su Chen, discussing so matters regarding the Peak Star Tournant.
"You all don't know, but when that Han Xingliu ca out of The Tower, he still thought he was the Star Pri, looking quite smug."
The one speaking was a High Commander of the Bronze Sect Army, and his description was vivid.
"As a result, after learning the truth, he was so shocked that he couldn't even speak. When he left, he was tottering and almost fell over."
"It is said that until the Royal Court's people withdrew from the sect, he wasn't seen showing his face."
Su Chen chuckled happily as he listened, but he didn't pay too much attention to this matter. Instead, he asked about another thing the crowd was discussing: "Are the Heads of Seat returning?"
He looked at a middle-aged man. This person's na was Zhu Rui; he was one of the people in charge of the Cult Internal Network system, primarily managing task distribution.
He unhurriedly set down the wine cup in his hand and nodded. "That's correct. The Ancient Kings have all entered the Flare Realm, and it's unknown when they will return."
"Venerable Chu Lingyuan has recalled all the Heads of Seat, preparing to respond to any possible changes in the situation that might occur next."
Hearing these words, the crowd's topic of conversation gradually shifted, landing on the matter of the Ancient Kings' disappearance, and they discussed it animatedly.
So people were certain that the Dust Star Sea definitely wouldn't be peaceful. Others disagreed, believing that those disorderly mobs wouldn't be able to achieve anything.
Another faction expressed their concerns regarding the Evil Gods.
Their sources of information were diverse, and to a certain extent, they also represented so of the mainstream voices within the sect.
The entire banquet lasted for a full few hours. Hearing that Su Chen was here, quite a few more people ca, making it extrely lively.
"Everyone, take care."
When the banquet ended, Qin Lie saw everyone out one by one. Watching the crowd successively leave, a heavy boulder in his heart finally dropped.
As long as Su Chen didn't take the initiative to pursue the matter, the Qin Family, relying on so Incense and Offering Sentint with Chu Lingyuan, Qing Cang, and the Ancient King, should be fine.
"No need to see off. I'm fine. Everyone, take care..."
At Bronzeheart Port, Su Chen bid farewell to the crowd and boarded the Flight Vehicle. His expression gradually beca restrained. His gaze landed on the small Black Gold Casket he had been holding the entire ti, examining it from all sides.
'I wonder exactly how this Remnant Spirit plans to seize my body. The Remnant Spirit's Main Body should take action directly, right?' Su Chen speculated.
"Hm?"
Nearing the Floating Island, Su Chen discovered a new Flight Vehicle docked there, yet there was no one at the port.
'Is it Senior Brothers Ming Lin and Teng Liang returning?' Su Chen wasn't surprised. The two had left not long after Qin Tianlin's death. Up to today, almost a year had passed.
Factoring in the ti spent staying on the Crimson Thunder Planet, they would be just arriving back at the sect. They had communicated via ssages a few days ago.
'Finally, finally...'
Within the casket, the Remnant Spirit was also sowhat unable to restrain itself. It had been curious about Su Chen for too long. For this person to actually be able to devour the Solar Remnants, exactly what secrets did he have on his body?
'To ensure absolutely nothing goes wrong, wait until he enters his room before making a move.'
The Remnant Spirit was quite cautious. As the mont approached, it beca even more careful. Although the Bronze Ancient King wasn't present, the amount of attention Su Chen received wasn't small either, so it strove to ensure absolutely nothing went wrong.
"Junior Brother..." Sensing the commotion, Ming Lin and Teng Liang ca out to welco him.
"Star Pri..." As soon as Ming Lin saw Su Chen, he showed a strange look in his eyes. On the way back, passing through several hubs, almost everyone was discussing this matter. He was truly deeply shocked.
When they left, the Preliminaries had only just begun. Although Su Chen was ranked at the top of the list, on one hand, it was because the Preliminaries had just started, and on the other hand, it was because Su Chen was only 6th-Tier at the ti. Ming Lin simply hadn't thought in this direction.
He hadn't expected that after just one year, Su Chen would actually have seized the position of Star Pri.
"It's already been quite so ti." Su Chen waved his hand. "How is the Crimson Thunder Planet? Has the Nether Mist recovered?"
Ming Lin and Teng Liang understood Su Chen quite well and didn't speak much on this matter. Suppressing their thoughts, they responded:
"When we returned, the Nether Mist already showed signs of recovering and returning. The barrier left by the Ancient King back then was also almost completely shattered."
"However, thanks to the sect's support over the past two to three years, quite a few 7th-Tier Class-Users have erged. In the short term, there shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Mn..." Su Chen nodded and couldn't help but say, "It's a pity... It's not convenient to bring people over for the ti being."
He was also very helpless. Ever since gradually establishing a firm foothold in the sect, he had always thought about aiding his howorld. The regular supply of resources naturally went without saying.
He was also very helpless. Ever since gradually establishing a firm foothold in the sect, he had always thought about aiding his howorld. The regular supply of resources naturally went without saying.
He also wanted to bring Master Xia and the others over. After all, the Nether Mist had slashed away half of their Lifespans; that was no small amount.
But initially his footing was unsteady, and after gradually establishing a firm foothold, there was Qin Yun spying on him. Now that the Ancient Kings had disappeared again, the Dust Star Sea's situation was uncertain, and it was unknown how the future would develop.
Master Xia and the others were better off staying on the Crimson Thunder Planet.
"Is it because of the Ancient Kings' matter?" Hearing this, Ming Lin asked probing.
Su Chen's gaze was astonished. "Even you guys know?"
Ming Lin nodded. "When passing through a few transit hubs, I heard people ntion it. I was quite curious and secretly inquired about it, learning quite a few things."
"Does this matter also seem to involve the Lost Starfire? So people are already spreading rumors that the Ancient Kings are highly likely to have perished within it, and that the Dust Star Sea is about to undergo a massive change."
"Oh?" Su Chen's eyes flickered. The Peak Star Tournant had only concluded half a month ago, yet the news of the Lost Starfire had already spread throughout the entire Dust Star Sea.
If there was no mastermind pushing this behind the scenes, he would absolutely not believe it.
He thought about it and said, "I'll have to trouble you two to make another trip. I've contacted a few 8th-Rank Professionals, and they are all willing to go to the Crimson Thunder Planet to stand guard for a period of ti."
"8th-Rank Professionals going to the Crimson Thunder Planet to stand guard?" Ming Lin and Teng Liang shuddered all over, exchanging a glance.
Reaching the 8th-Tier, even within the Bronze Sect, they held quite a high status.
So powerful dual 8th-Tier professionals could even serve in important positions like Vice Hall Masters of various halls. If sent out, they could easily govern a Life Planet.
The Crimson Thunder Planet, however, was a desolate place shrouded in Nether Mist where birds didn't even shit. Being willing to go stand guard was obviously out of respect for Su Chen.
As expected of the Star Pri... The two gained a more concrete understanding of the change in Su Chen's status.
Ming Lin couldn't help but reveal a joyful expression. "If there are 8th-Tiers heading there to stand guard, the Crimson Thunder Planet should be safe. After the extermination campaigns over those few years, the Evil God Cults had already been mostly killed off. It's estimated that they will find it hard to show signs of recovery within ten years."
"Right, there are also so things." Ming Lin spoke cautiously, leading Su Chen into the Main Building. Several Large tal Crates were neatly arranged in the storeroom.
Su Chen opened them to take a look. Placed inside were all Vessels of Evil God Power. Their containers had all been replaced by Ming Lin and were sealed extrely tightly.
"Evil God Power?"
Within the casket, the Remnant Spirit couldn't help but be surprised. It sensed a massive amount of Evil God Power. It was far too familiar with this kind of power; it could sll even a tiny trace of it.
'This fellow is actually collecting Evil God Power. Interesting...' The Remnant Spirit grew increasingly curious. The more secrets Su Chen had, the greater the harvest would be after seizing his body.
Ming Lin sighed emotionally, "These were all obtained by the Chief Judge and the others while clearing out Evil God Nests over the past few years. They didn't really trust the people who went to deliver support supplies previously, so they didn't let us bring them until this ti."
When Teng Liang and the others arrived previously, the extermination campaign had only been going on for half a year. But now, the entire Crimson Thunder Planet had been mostly cleared out, accumulating nearly three years' worth of findings.
Su Chen felt quite sentintal. "It's rare that Master Xia and the Chief Judge still rember this matter."
He roughly took stock. Each type of Eldritch Essence could likely be forged into six or seven portions. Forging the Flash-Shadow Body last ti had almost consud his previous accumulation, and he had only replenished two or three portions during this ti.
