271: Chapter 271 A planet without even a Transcendent Realm expert can produce a high-level star core?

Outside the Dungeon.

Instructor Wang Weidong, his wife Ming Li, Ye Xun, Xiao Yun, and the others were waiting patiently.

Shua!

Zhang Jian's figure was the first to appear at the teleportation entrance.

Then.

It was Wang Fei, Xuan Jizi...

Familiar faces appeared one after another.

Instructor Wang Weidong was a bit surprised.

"So fast?"

He looked at the tactical watch on his wrist.

They had only been inside for six hours.

Could the stay duration of this Dungeon be shorter than usual?

The others had the same thought, and their expressions were filled with surprise.

When Wang Fei recounted their encounters in the Dungeon one by one, it drew waves of exclamations.

"A Transcendence Realm BOSS?"

"Unable to be attacked, unable to defend, and unable to recover vitality?"

"Even Zhang Jian found it hard to resist?"

"Nie Zhijun's life and death are currently unknown?"

Each piece of bombshell news left them incredibly shocked.

Looking at the Dungeon's teleportation portal, they were filled with awe and lingering fear.

Even the team composed of the ten strongest people had returned in defeat.

If it had been them going in, they would probably all be dead by now, wouldn't they?

After some consideration, Wang Fei offered his own guess regarding this matter.

"If we don't kill the Ninth-stage Planet Level BOSS deep in the Dungeon and don't clear those nine consecutive BOSS stages, the final Transcendence Realm BOSS probably won't appear, right?"

The others also somewhat agreed with this viewpoint.

But no one dared to guarantee it.

It wasn't until Zhang Jian called upon the Will of the Heavenly Dao in his heart that he received a clear answer.

"It should be so."

"As long as you don't provoke the Ninth-stage Planet Level BOSS and the subsequent conditions aren't met, it won't come out."

Zhang Jian nodded.

If that was the case, it was a blessing in disguise.

Before they had the ability to deal with that Transcendence Realm BOSS, they could at least get some rewards by killing monsters of other levels.

Otherwise, if they had to give up on this Dungeon because they were suppressed by a dangerous creature, the loss would be far too great.

However.

Although he had received a positive response from the Will of the Heavenly Dao.

Zhang Jian and Wang Fei discussed it and decided to let the others give it a try.

Wang Fei divided the twenty people, including Instructor Wang Weidong, into five groups.

One team would enter every hour.

Two hours.

Three hours.

Five hours.

...

Time passed second by second.

All members of the ten-person team were waiting patiently at the Dungeon's teleportation entrance.

Until twenty-four hours later.

The first team to enter, Instructor Wang Weidong's team, all appeared.

Although they had some wounds on their bodies and their faces were covered in dust, their eyes were filled with joy.

"Mission accomplished!"

As the captain, he represented his team and traded the harvest to Zhang Jian.

4,826 star core fragments, 1,211 synthesis protection voucher fragments.

Even.

There was also a complete star core.

Although it was only one-star, it still surprised Zhang Jian a bit.

According to Instructor Wang Weidong, this was because after killing all the eighth-stage planet level BOSSes in the Dungeon, they continued to search and explore the area, killing every monster they saw.

Finally, when they exited the Dungeon, they received an SS-rank evaluation.

They received an additional complete synthesis protection voucher and a random star core.

Speaking of this, Instructor Wang Weidong was still a bit regretful.

"According to the System's prompt, this evaluation has a chance to yield a two-star star core at most, but unfortunately, we didn't have that luck."

But soon.

His regret turned into envy.

Because Ye Xun's team, the second to come out.

Not only did their basic gains surpass his with a score of 5,058 star core fragments.

They even produced a two-star star core.

Completely stealing his thunder.

However.

The following teams weren't so lucky.

Although the remaining three teams also strictly followed Wang Fei's instructions to only explore and fight within the regular areas.

They didn't rashly challenge the Ninth-stage Planet Level BOSS and all returned safely.

They also all obtained no less than 5,000 star core fragments.

But in terms of the final evaluation rewards, they only received one-star complete star cores.

This gave Instructor Wang Weidong a bit of comfort.

In the end.

The five teams collectively contributed over 27,000 star core fragments.

Along with one two-star star core and four one-star star cores.

Adding in the previous run by the ten-person team.

Although they had exited early and failed to get the additional rewards from the Dungeon evaluation.

Their basic gains alone amounted to over ten thousand star core fragments.

Plus the continuous contributions from the Sword Puppets.

The accumulated star core fragments exceeded 120,000!

This number gave even Zhang Jian a fright.

But looking at the pitifully locked vitality on his own panel.

And the similarly restricted states of the others, to varying degrees.

His joy vanished instantly.

He had to find a way to solve this problem!

But after discussing it with everyone for a long time, they were all in the dark.

Finally.

It was the Will of the Heavenly Dao that provided a solution.

It planned to chat with the mysterious existence over at the altar.

Last time, just by consuming a three-star star core, the other party had exchanged a Transcendence Realm Breakthrough Cultivation Technique and a Star-Shattering Art for it.

The so-called Star Shattering was a special technique used to absorb the Star Power within a star core extremely quickly.

It was said that it could only be used upon reaching the Transcendence Realm, so it couldn't solve their current difficulties.

But from this, it could be seen that the other party could provide quite a lot.

The resources currently available in Zhang Jian's hands were much stronger than last time.

Perhaps he could exchange for something good to resolve the current crisis?

...

Blue Bird Planet.

Yun Kai was currently Cultivating in his room.

Feeling a warmth from the sphere in his bosom, his heart stirred, and he opened his eyes.

"My Lord, something has happened!"

As the other party spoke, his expression gradually became strange.

Deluding themselves into thinking they could oppose a Transcendence Realm being with a Mortal body?

Truly, the ignorant are fearless!

He was about to scold them when his gaze suddenly froze.

Wait, that's not right.

Logically speaking, in this situation, any one or two Transcendence Realm experts with passable strength could solve it by transferring their own Star Power into the other person's body to dissolve the residual Star Power.

This party had traded with him several times using star cores already.

How could they not have a single Transcendence Realm expert?

Last time, he had even given them a Transcendence Realm Breakthrough Cultivation Technique.

Could the Breakthrough have failed?

Or perhaps...

He thought of his son's situation and suddenly had a bold guess.

Could it be that the other party wasn't satisfied with breaking through using ordinary star cores and wanted to do something big?

His heart stirred, and he asked tentatively.

"Your situation is quite tricky."

"Condensing Star Power within a Mortal body and being able to oppose the Transcendence Realm isn't something an ordinary Cultivation Technique or Secret Manual can achieve."

The other party's voice remained very humble. "Please guide us, My Lord!"

Yun Kai was a bit dazed.

From the tone, they really wanted to buy a Cultivation Technique from him?

Interesting!

He pretended to be troubled and said slowly.

"There is such a technique, but the price is not cheap."

"I'm afraid if I say it, you'll think I'm being greedy..."

The voice on the other side was urgent.

"Please speak freely, My Lord!"

Yun Kai pondered for a moment.

"Such techniques basically don't circulate outside. I can only bring out the secret techniques from my Family, but as for the price..."

He thought about how the other party had produced a three-star star core last time.

He pretended to be pained. "Others have offered five-star star cores for this, and we still wouldn't sell it. If you have a six-star star core, I could discuss it with the clan."

The other side paused.

Just as Yun Kai thought the deal would fall through.

"My Lord, you must be joking. How could we have a six-star star core? But if it's a four-star or five-star one, we might be able to find a way."

The other party's tone sounded troubled, but it gave Yun Kai a jolt.

He looked stunned.

"four-star, five-star."

"You actually have them?"
