Chapter 318: Chapter 318

Jin Xiao naturally didn’t need to personally oversee the verification; the men he had brought with him would handle it.

An Earth Element Spell descended, and an exquisitely carved stone table appeared. Jin Xiao took out some fine Spirit Tea Leaves and said, "Junior, let’s have some tea first. The verification will take some time."

"Then, I’m happy to oblige, Senior Brother," Chen Jiuge said with a smile.

An hour later, a Cultivator leaned in and whispered something to Jin Xiao. Because of the Mana isolating them, Chen Jiuge didn’t hear it.

"Don’t worry about it, as long as it’s generally correct," Jin Xiao said with a wave of his hand.

After the Cultivator walked away, Chen Jiuge asked with some confusion, "Senior Brother, is there something wrong with the Star?"

"That’s not it. It’s just that what you took was a bit too obvious, Junior." For more chapters visıt novel(ꜰ)ire.net

Jin Xiao suddenly remembered that this Junior Chen had only recently arrived here.

"It’s : generally, when a Disciple discovers a new Star, they notify the Sect. The resources there cannot be taken arbitrarily. They need to be verified by people from the Sect and then distributed in a seven-to-three split."

"However, very often the Sect turns a blind eye. As long as you don’t take too much or make it too obvious, they won’t investigate. It’s an unspoken rule. It’s normal for you not to know since you just arrived," Jin Xiao explained.

Chen Jiuge scratched his head awkwardly. He truly hadn’t known. Fortunately, the Commander here was Senior Brother Jin. If they weren’t acquainted, he might have been sent to the Law Enforcement Hall.

"By the way, Junior," Jin Xiao said, "this Star has generally been confirmed as a mid-grade Star. Although its resources are average, the output of Star Stones is quite good. You’re likely to make a fortune this time, Junior!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jiuge’s smile grew even wider. Then, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind, causing a hint of hesitation to appear on his face.

"Junior, if there’s anything on your mind, just tell me."

"Senior Brother Jin, could I use my thirty percent share of the income from this Star to exchange for my current station, Butterfly Star?" Chen Jiuge asked, somewhat sheepishly.

"Just that? Simple. The Sect allows such transactions. However, we must wait for those people to thoroughly verify and compare the value of both before we can decide," Jin Xiao said grandly.

"Then I’ll be troubling you, Senior Brother."

Verifying the Star took a total of three days.

Jin Xiao summoned the official in charge of the verification and mentioned Chen Jiuge’s idea.

The elderly official, flipping through the value records for Butterfly Star, carefully compared them and said, "It’s possible. The overall value of Butterfly Star is roughly equivalent to thirty percent of this Star’s production over 8,000 years. Although the exchange will incur a fee, the Sect will also compensate this Junior Chen with some resources."

"Hmm, roughly how much compensation? Tell me," Jin Xiao commanded assertively.

"About 3,000 Contribution Points."

"Hmm, go and handle the exchange now. Also, tell those people setting up the Array and building the walls to hurry up; they’re too slow," Jin Xiao said, somewhat displeased.

"Junior, you have a compensation of 3,000 Contribution Points. Tell me what you want. I can directly handle general items," Jin Xiao said with confidence.

Upon hearing about the 3,000 Contribution Points, Chen Jiuge’s heart began to pound. Hearing Senior Brother Jin’s words, his smile widened even further. Having connections in high places certainly makes things easier!

"Senior Brother Jin, I need some manpower. It’s my first time in the Infinite Star Sea, and the manpower I brought is somewhat insufficient. Even with Master’s support, I’m only just managing to hold Butterfly Star," Chen Jiuge said helplessly.

Jin Xiao nodded. "Indeed. Many Disciples are unable to engage in exploration because they lack enough personnel, missing many opportunities."

"How about this: White Tiger Peak has its own exclusive mini-world, and the White Tiger Guards are basically all from there. I can’t give you White Tiger Guards, but I can provide some slightly inferior White Cat Guards."

"These people have been raised from a young age with the ideology of loyalty to the Myriad Beasts Sect and its Disciples. You can use them with confidence."

"As for their strength, they should be similar to those Green Wood Guards under your command, Junior. That should be sufficient."

"Really? Then I’m very grateful, Senior Brother. How many people could I roughly get?" Chen Jiuge asked gratefully.

"About thirty people. This isn’t the same as Spiritual Beasts."

Although the number wasn’t high, it was as Senior Brother Jin said: Cultivators and Spiritual Beasts were not the same.

"Speaking of which, there’s no need to worry specifically about the Corpse Demon Clan’s presence recently. I can’t say the specific reasons, but for now, we aren’t enemies. Of course, if they harbor ill intentions, Junior, you need not hold back. Just kill them outright," Jin Xiao advised.

"Yes, Senior Brother."

Since the decision to exchange for Butterfly Star had been made, Chen Jiuge left in advance after discussing some further details.

"Sir, why agree to give this Disciple White Cat Guards?" Chen Yan, the chief of staff who was second in command to Jin Xiao, asked with some puzzlement.

Even though White Cat Guards were composed of those eliminated from the White Tiger Guards, their combat power was still quite strong, and they were considered a relatively elite force.

"It’s nothing. I just feel that Junior Chen is a person with great Luck. Besides, our trade was at a fair price, wasn’t it?" Jin Xiao said casually.

"What? We’ve cooperated with people from the Myriad Beasts Sect?" When Shi Xiaojun led his army back to the main camp, he received this news like a bolt from the blue.

Corpse Demon King stroked his chin and said, "Isn’t that quite normal? The higher-ups sent us down primarily to hunt the Insect Clan. Why should we start a war with the Myriad Beasts Sect? There’s absolutely no need."
