Lin Xuan glanced at Bian Zhuang as he left, too lazy to care about the other party's thoughts. He still needed to receive his salary.
Then, he went to the Heavenly General Palace to register, and the presiding celestial official handed him his salary and equipment.
As a top-tier Heavenly General in the Golden Immortal Realm, he would receive his salary every ten thousand years. He could receive one hundred thousand Battle Merit Points and a large amount of spirit crystals!
There was also standard equipment, which was definitely much better than before. Armor, battle boots, helmets, and weapons were all Late-Heaven Superior Spirit Treasures. If he was willing to spend Battle Merit Points, he could exchange for better ones.
However, in general, at the Golden Immortal Realm level, many celestial officials were too lazy to wear standard equipment anymore. They would also spend a lot of money on crafting their own Spirit Treasures that were most suitable for them. For example, the Giant Spirit God's Xuanhua Battle-Axe was much stronger than the standard weapons.
As for Lin Xuan, if he was willing, he could already use the Chixiao Sword openly. Although few Golden Immortals possessed a Primordial Spirit Treasure, as a star lord, he had the right to keep a Lower-Grade Primordial Spirit Treasure, and few dared to covet it!
"Next, I should go to my Tianji Palace."
Then, Lin Xuan went to his palace. It was much better than most caves. He could just meditate and cultivate in it.
As for his troops, he had just learned about them and didn't need to summon them specifically. After all, the number of Heavenly Soldiers and Generals wasn't too many yet. It was impossible to assign tens of thousands of soldiers to each Golden Immortal Heavenly General. Therefore, he only needed to receive missions. When needed, he would dispatch Golden Immortal Heavenly Generals to lead troops down to the mortal realm to conquer.
Soon, he followed the faint sense of perception and arrived at the area where the Heavenly Court specially built palaces for star lords. He arrived at Tianji Palace, which corresponded to the Lu Cun star.
After entering, it was a different world. Inside was a small world with abundant spiritual energy. Star lords could cultivate and do whatever they pleased inside.
Lin Xuan admired it for a while before he stopped wasting time. He couldn't wait to cultivate in seclusion. He had just received a large amount of resources, so he definitely had to convert them into strength quickly.
"Let's improve my physical cultivation first. Physical defense is more beneficial to survival and self-preservation."
He took out the ten Seven Revolutions Golden Pills given by the Jade Emperor and the two Purple-Veined Peaches given by Yao Ji. Then, he began to take and refine them one by one. He activated the Immortal Body Technique. A wave of dense spiritual energy surged through his body and was constantly used to strengthen his physique.
The Golden Immortal Realm physique he had just ascended began to strengthen at a visible rate. It became stronger every moment!
Each Purple-Veined Peach and Seven Revolutions Golden Pill contained quite a lot of spiritual energy. For ordinary Primal Spirit Golden Immortals, it was a huge amount of resources that could allow their cultivation to steadily improve.
However, for a Physique Cultivator Golden Immortal, the spiritual energy resources consumed were much more than for a Primal Spirit Golden Immortal.
Soon, all the resources were refined by him. They were all used to strengthen his physique. After they were all digested, his physique finally broke through another realm. He was promoted to the Middle-Stage Golden Immortal Realm and stabilized it!
"Whew! I'm a Middle-Stage Golden Immortal now. It's really expensive to improve my physique, but the benefits are also obvious."
Lin Xuan sighed with emotion. These resources were enough for a Golden Immortal to collect for a long time, but they only allowed him to advance one small realm. He originally wanted to try to improve his Primal Spirit cultivation. Now it seemed that it was not enough.
However, after his physical cultivation improved, his battle strength had also increased significantly. If he encountered the bat demon again, he could easily kill it with his bare hands. He didn't even need a Primordial Spirit Treasure!
His physical defense was even more exaggerated. The attacks of ordinary Golden Immortals couldn't even hurt him. They couldn't even shake his figure!
He suspected that his Immortal Body was probably no weaker than the Late-Stage Golden Immortal Giant Spirit God. If he added the Xuanhuang Cauldron to his defenses, almost no one in the Golden Immortal Realm could kill him. Even a monster like Yuan Hong couldn't do it!
"This star lord palace is filled with spiritual energy. I should just stabilize my Primal Spirit cultivation."
Lin Xuan looked around. He was going to meditate for a while longer. After becoming a Golden Immortal, he didn't have to be as busy as before. He didn't have to conquer every thousand years.
His cultivation had just broken through and wasn't too stable yet. It would be good to cultivate here for a while.
Thus, he continued to cultivate in seclusion. He activated his talent trait "Consume Qi" and constantly absorbed the rich spiritual energy around him, slowly improving his Primal Spirit cultivation with the passage of time.
Cultivation had no time. Unknowingly, a long time had passed.
Lin Xuan opened his eyes and stopped cultivating. He was ready to come out of seclusion.
During this period of time, he had completely stabilized his Golden Immortal Realm Primal Spirit cultivation and had made some progress. However, it was far from enough to break through to the Middle-Stage Golden Immortal Realm by relying on this alone.
"I still have to rely on a large amount of resources. I have to go out and receive missions."
Lin Xuan thought to himself and stepped out of Tianji Palace.
However, as he just came out, he saw the Giant Spirit God standing in front of a palace not far away. He was frowning.
When he saw Lin Xuan coming out of seclusion, the Giant Spirit God's eyes lit up, and he immediately ran over.
"Giant Gate Star Lord, what's wrong? Did you encounter any difficulties? Let me, the Lu Cun Star Lord, see if I can help you."
Lin Xuan joked with a smile.
The palaces of the Seven Stars of the Big Dipper were in one area and not far from each other. The Giant Spirit God's Tianxuan Palace was right next to his Tianji Palace.
"I was just about to come and congratulate you on becoming a star lord when I heard the news. I found out that you had already gone into seclusion."
The Giant Spirit God walked up to him and said happily. It was rare to have fellow cultivators at the same level who could be called friends. It was naturally very rare for such cultivators who had a prior connection to be promoted.
However, thinking about the recent troubles, he sighed. "It's a good thing you're out of seclusion. I'm having trouble finding someone to help."
"The lower realms have been getting increasingly chaotic recently. Every now and then, great demons rampage and slaughter the mortals. They're becoming more and more rampant. All Heavenly Soldiers and Generals have been busier than before. Even I have to go down to the lower realms often."
The Giant Spirit God shook his head.
As the calamity aura became more intense, many monsters became more and more violent under the influence of the aura. They were of all levels of strength. The monsters who had originally not planned to harm humans had begun to commit countless crimes. The demon kings who had originally committed many evil deeds were even more arrogant and invincible!
In recent times, even the Giant Spirit God had been overwhelmed.
"You want me to help? Of course. Are you leading an army to conquer? Or are you going on a mission?"
Seeing that the Giant Spirit God wanted to get him to help, Lin Xuan naturally agreed without hesitation.
"It's a mission. At the same time, it's also revenge!"
"You should still remember Old Chen, right."
The Giant Spirit God said in a deep voice.
"General Chen? Of course, I remember!"
Lin Xuan's expression immediately became solemn. Of course, he remembered General Chen, who had been so kind to him, and the scene where he was killed by the Mei Mountain demons!
