Inside the barracks of Wildcat Squad.

On the light screen projected by the personal terminal, the <East Peak Mercenary Group First Member Recruitment Order> and the hot post below <If you never come back, you will never come back!> are emitting a scorching light, reflecting five faces with different expressions.

Big Bear scratched his head and sighed angrily, "Xinghai, I feel dizzy just thinking about it."

Bamboo Pole flicked his fingers quickly on the data pad, analyzing the terms of the recruitment order and the hot discussion data on the forum.

Skinny Monkey was a little absent-minded, and his eyes occasionally glanced at Nightingale, who was sitting in the corner and remained silent.

He noticed that Nightingale's cold eyes lingered on the words "preparatory member" and "gone forever" for a long time, and his slender fingers curled up unconsciously.

A bad premonition spread in his heart.

Old Cat took a deep breath of the e-cigarette, his eyes slowly swept across the team members, and finally settled on Nightingale.

He noticed Nightingale's subtle struggle hidden under his usual calmness.

"Nightingale."

Old Cat slowly exhaled the smoke and coughed lightly, "You made a breakthrough a few days ago and mastered the unique skill Instant Shadow Thousand Kills. Are you excited?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

"What? Sister Nightingale, have you mastered a special skill?!" Monkey couldn't help but widen his eyes and was the first to shout.

Big Bear also looked stunned. "Why didn't I know?"

Bamboo Pole stopped what he was doing and looked at Nightingale.

Nightingale raised his head, met Old Cat's insightful gaze, nodded slightly, and admitted.

She looked at her surprised teammates and explained, "Yes, I just mastered it not long ago. I wanted to wait until I became more proficient and then give you a surprise. I didn't expect that things have changed so quickly in the past few days."

Nightingale paused, looking at the light curtain again, with a rare hesitation and reluctance in his tone. "Xinghai. I really want to go. The commander-in-chief has opened this door, and I don't want to just stand at the door and watch forever. But."

Her voice lowered, "I can't bear to leave you all either. If we go away, we may never see each other again."

Silence fell in the barracks.

Everyone understands the weight of the word "farewell" after the end of the world. They have taken it back from Abyssal Beast countless times and said goodbye countless times with their own hands.

Although the gods were resurrected later, they would never forget the heart-wrenching feeling.

Besides, there won't be any gods resurrected after this. If something unexpected happens, we may never see each other again.

To Nightingale's surprise, the first person to try to persuade him was Skinny Monkey, who was usually the most arrogant.

He raised his head suddenly, his face no longer showing the usual agitation, replaced by an unprecedented seriousness.

Everyone can easily hear that there is obviously some vibrato in Skinny Monkey's voice.

However, Skinny Monkey himself didn't notice it at all. He just pretended to be calm and said, "Sister Nightingale, go ahead!"

He looked at Nightingale's surprised eyes, clenched his fists quietly at his side, and continued, "You are more talented than us, and now you have mastered the unique skills. You should not be buried here. The sea of stars is the stage you should go to!"

When several other people heard this, they all looked at Skinny Monkey in surprise.

Skinny Monkey is interested in Nightingale. Except for the two people involved, everyone else knew it, but didn't point it out. I thought Skinny Monkey would dissuade him, but he turned out to be supportive.

But Skinny Monkey didn't notice the other people's eyes, and said, "Don't worry, I will practice hard, master the unique skills, and break through Star Core!" He paused, and a blazing flame burned in his eyes, like When he said to Nightingale, it was like he was making a vow to himself, "I believe that East Peak Mercenary Group will never stop here, and will definitely expand in the future. When the time comes, we will meet again in the sea of stars. I will definitely catch up with you!"

Old Cat glanced at Skinny Monkey with relief, nodded in agreement, "Skinny Monkey is right. Nightingale, your road is ahead, and you can't stop because of us. Wildcat Squad will never become a stumbling block for each other. You go first and explore the way for us."

Big Bear patted his chest hard and made a dull sound. His honest face was full of support. "Nightingale, go ahead. We will definitely be able to go there in the future. We will still be a team then, and we will have to rely on you to take care of us!"

Bamboo Pole calmly analyzed. "From a strategic point of view, Stardust level, who has special skills, is Star Core level's reserve. Entering the star sea in advance to accumulate experience is extremely beneficial to both individuals and civilization. Nightingale, this is the right choice."

Listening to the words of support from her teammates, Nightingale felt her eyes heat up. She took a deep breath, suppressed the surging emotions, and regained her former calmness and determination on her beautiful face.

"Okay!" She only uttered one word.

Subsequently, Nightingale no longer hesitated, quickly operated on the personal terminal with his fingertips, and submitted the application for preliminary membership.

Then, she clicked on the hot post, and after countless passionate replies, she solemnly typed a line of text and chose Solitaire:

[Nightingale]: If you go and never come back, then you will never come back! The application for preliminary membership has been submitted, and I am willing to use the blade of Eastern Edge to pierce the barrier of the starry sea! Wait until one day, we will meet again in the starry sea! Solitaire +1

"I can't wait until one day we meet in the sea of stars!"

Skinny Monkey looked at that line of words and repeated it in a low voice, the fire in his eyes burning even more intensely.

He thought silently again in his heart: I will definitely do it. Sister Nightingale, wait for me!

At the same time, after seeing Nightingale open Solitaire, the popularity of the post increased again.

"It's the one from Nightingale, Wildcat Squad."

"Has she also mastered special skills?"

"Stardust level eighth level, possessor of unique skills. Really enviable"

"So handsome!" I would like to be the blade of Eastern Edge. I want to sign up too!"

Nightingale's solitaire is like a flag, inspiring more Stardust level strong people who are hesitant but strong enough.

Immediately afterwards, the registration solitaire began to fill the screen at a speed visible to the naked eye.

This enthusiasm soon spread to Star Core level.

Soon, an important figure appeared in this solitaire, and the poster's ID flashed with the system-certified Star Core level strongman emblem.

[Chen Yu]: Hahaha, how can such a grand event be without me, Old Chen? Principal's number one general (self-proclaimed) has come to report! The application for official membership has been submitted! Brothers, go to the stars to earn merit! Solitaire +10086!]

Chen Yu's hilarious and confident solitaire instantly pushed the atmosphere to another climax.

"It's General Chen Yu!"

"Star Core level boss is awesome."

"The most powerful general? Have you asked me Andre?" Immediately afterwards, a rough ID followed suit.

[Andre]: We will never fall behind. For Eastern Edge, official members +1! Solitaire +10087!

[Elizabeth]: Submitted.

Elizabeth's reply was as concise and cool as ever.

[Liu Yuan]: Count me in. Now that Abyssal Beast is gone, it's time to go and do some activities in the sea of stars.]

Soon, the names of the familiar Star Core level powerhouses appeared one after another in the Solitaire list. They are not only the high-end combat power of Blue Star, but also the idols and benchmarks in the hearts of countless people.

Their enthusiastic registration has completely ignited the passion of Yuan warriors around the world.

East Peak Mercenary Group has not yet officially set sail, but its recruitment order has already set off a passionate storm within Blue Star.

While the outside world was excited about the recruitment order, in the Blue Star Commonwealth Headquarters reception room, Lin Yi looked at the constantly beating Solitaire information on his personal terminal and the registration data reported by Xuanji, with a hint of relief on his face.

The enthusiasm and determination of the people were higher than he expected.

He said to Aurelia sitting opposite, "Ellie, the registration situation is very good. The next work of screening and preliminary grouping will be more difficult for you."

Aurelia nodded slightly. "It's your job, Commander, please don't worry."

There was also a hint of emotion in her ice-blue eyes. Blue Star Civilization's cohesion that broke out once the direction was determined impressed her deeply. In this regard, Spirit Race was relatively loose.

Aurelia often thought about this issue some time ago. If the family had such cohesion as Blue Star Civilization when facing foreign enemies, would they still be forced by the hostile family to go far away from Human Race's territory?

She had never figured out the answer before, so she was very curious about how the characters of those tribesmen would change after they joined the Blue Star people tribe to form Mercenary Group.

But Lin Yi didn't know what Aurelia was feeling. He stood up directly and said, "The matter here has come to an end for now. I have arranged a residence for you next to the headquarters building. The environment is quiet and the facilities are complete. You have also been working hard, so go and rest first. I plan to go to the training room to consolidate what I have gained recently."

Hearing the word "cultivation", Aurelia seemed to be awakened by something. She quickly stood up and called out to Lin Yi: "Commander, please wait a moment."

Lin Yi stopped and looked at her doubtfully.

A look of confusion appeared on Aurelia's face, and he said softly, "There is something, I almost forgot. During Assessment Period, I actually prepared some practice resources. I originally planned to give them to you at the right time, hoping to be helpful to you. However, things happened one after another, and I never found a suitable opportunity to give them away."

She paused, as if she had made up her mind, and continued, "Also. The "Clear Radiance Dew" I invited you to taste before was not with me. I wonder if Commander still has free time now?"

"I would like to formally invite you to my "Jade Whisper Starship". On the one hand, I will hand over the sealed resources to you. On the other hand, I also invite you to taste my Spirit Race unique spiritual tea "Clear Radiance Dew". This tea is slightly beneficial to calming the mind and nourishing the source of energy. It may be helpful to your subsequent cultivation."

Aurelia's words are full of expectations.

Those resources were accumulated by her in her early years and were originally used for investment.

But by some strange coincidence, Lin Yi has been used so far with donations from her family. She, the first person who wanted to invest, has not provided any resources.

Especially "Clear Radiance Dew" is World Derivation level's treasure. It was originally used to receive Eternal Divinity, but the gods didn't care. Later, he invited Lin Yi when they first met, but at that time Lin Yi was worried about Blue Star and missed it again.

Today, in the name of delivering resources, she finally found another opportunity to issue an invitation.

Lin Yi heard this and pondered for a moment.

He really feels that his Source Energy Intensity is a shortcoming compared to Rule Comprehension and needs improvement.

Aurelia As Star Vortex level is a perfect strong person, Spirit Race is also quite luxurious. The "cultivation resources" and the "slightly beneficial" spiritual tea she mentioned are probably not ordinary things.

"Okay."

Lin Yi didn't show any pretense and nodded directly in agreement, "I just happen to feel that Source Energy does have some shortcomings, so I'll excuse you."

Seeing Lin Yi agree, a bright smile appeared on Aurelia's lips, "It's an honor for Commander to honor you. Please come with me."

The two people turned into streams of light and left the headquarters building, and in an instant they arrived at Jade Whisper Starship, which was suspended near low-Earth orbit.

Entering the interior of Star Boat, Lin Yi can't help but marvel at the exquisiteness and elegance of Spirit Race's creation.

The entire space seems to be grown naturally from living jadeite and crystal vines. The air is filled with the refreshing fragrance of grass and trees, and the source energy concentration is far more abundant and softer than the Blue Star surface.

Aurelia leads Lin Yi to a quiet tea room.

On one side of the tea room is a huge picture window, overlooking the blue planet and the bright starry sky below.

She asked Lin Yi to sit down at the tea table carved from warm white jade, and she gently took out a set of Spirit Race style glazed tea sets.

"Commander Please sit down for a moment, I will go get those resources and make tea for you."

Soon, Aurelia returned carrying a tray.

On the tray is a delicate jade box that exudes faint spatial fluctuations, and a tea set with tea leaves already prepared.

She first gently placed the jade box in front of Lin Yi.

"Commander, here are some Star Frost Water, Star Shatter Sand and Azure Gold Crystal that I collected in the early years. They should be of some use in increasing the total amount of source energy and purifying Rule Comprehension." Aurelia introduced.

Although Aurelia did not say the value of these things, Lin Yi knows the goods.

Star Frost Water is a commonly used training resource for Star Vortex level. Star Shatter Sand and Azure Gold Crystal are treasures that can improve the efficiency of training. For him now, it is a timely help.

"Sorry for your trouble." Lin Yi was not polite and took it directly. Of course, he did not open it immediately, but collected the space equipment.

There are too many debts to bear, but the favor is remembered for the time being and will be repaid later.

Then, Aurelia began to make tea attentively.

Her movements were elegant and skillful, as if she were performing an ancient ritual.

Lin Yi I saw her white fingers twisting a few pieces of inconspicuous off-white tea leaves and putting them into a transparent glass pot.

Then, she took out a glass bottle and poured out a clear liquid that exuded hazy Star Radiance and obviously contained amazing life energy.

"This is Star Cold Water. Only by brewing it can the true flavor of "Clear Radiance Dew" be brought out." Aurelia explained softly.

When Star Cold Water is poured into the pot and comes into contact with the gray-white tea leaves, the tea leaves seem to be activated instantly, emitting a soft and pure white halo, and a fragrance instantly spreads.

This fragrance is not strong, but it carries a coolness and tranquility that penetrates the soul, as if it can wash away all dust and distracting thoughts.

The tea soup in the pot gradually takes on a pale golden color that seems to contain the light of the stars and the moon.

Aurelia carefully poured out a cup and handed it to Lin Yi: "Commander, please use it. This tea is only effective for the first cup. You need to taste it calmly. You can only taste it afterward."

Lin Yi took the tea cup and warmed it.

He followed the instructions and did not drink from the cow. Instead, he lightly smelled its fragrance. He felt that his soul seemed to be cleansed by the fragrance and became extremely clear.

Then, he took a sip.

When the tea soup enters the mouth, there is no special taste at first, only an extremely cool feeling goes down the throat.

But the next moment, this coolness seemed to explode in my body.

Lin Yi felt that hundreds of millions of cells in his body were screaming with joy in an instant, Source Sea was running crazily at an unprecedented speed!

That seemingly small cup of tea soup turned into a majestic and extremely pure torrent of source energy, gently but unstoppably washing through his meridians and nourishing his Star Core.

What's even more amazing is that his consciousness was not confused by the violent energy, but fell into an unprecedented ethereal and clear state.

The external disturbances and inner distractions have all gone away. Thought Speed seems to have improved several times, and its perception of its own rules has become extremely clear.

Lin Yi subconsciously began to operate <Star-Deriving Essence Tempering Art>, guiding this energy to lay a solid foundation.

At the same time, he had just touched upon and was still in the exploratory stage of the second rule - Life Rule. Under the influence of this tea soup full of life rhythms, the originally obscure secrets suddenly appeared in his mind like the sun was clearing from the clouds.

The perception of life energy and the understanding of the creation and decay of life have accumulated and become clear at an unprecedented speed.

Lin Yi seemed to see the tenacity of seeds breaking out of the ground, the mystery of cell division and proliferation, the vigorous growth of all things, and the quiet beauty of withered autumn leaves. All kinds of images about life flowed in his heart.

Time seems to have lost its meaning at this moment.

I don't know how long it took before Lin Yi slowly woke up from that deep state of enlightenment.

He opened his eyes, and a ray of emerald green light containing vitality flashed in his eyes.

Lin Yi sensed himself carefully, and a look of shock appeared on his face.

Just this cup of tea, his Source Energy Intensity, actually allowed him to steadily enter the sixth level of Star Core level in this short period of time.

That's not all. At the same time, his perception of Life Rule jumped from almost negligible to about 6%.

"This Tranquil Dew. is really good!"

Lin Yi sighed in his heart, "Not only can it increase the source energy and greatly improve people's cultivation, but it can also enhance their understanding of Life Rule. The effect is so unbelievable, I'm afraid it must be Star Domain level's treasure, right?"

He looked up at Aurelia and planned to thank him.

However, when he looked at Aurelia, he found that the other party's condition seemed even more strange.

Aurelia did not disturb his practice, but sat opposite him, also closing his eyes and concentrating.

But the aura around her was no longer stable, but fluctuating like Tide.

Lin Yi noticed that the rhombus crystal on her forehead was flashing at an unprecedented frequency, and the emerald green light was getting stronger and stronger, gradually covering her whole body.

At this time, Aurelia felt as if he was in an endless ocean of life.

Scenes of the past thousands of years of practice, every bit of protecting Blue Star, the weight of family changes, the decisiveness when deciding to invest in Lin Yi, and the relief after letting go of the heavy burden in my heart. All kinds of emotions and perceptions flow through my heart like a revolving lantern.

The Life Rule she practices requires spiritual harmony and understanding.

Previously, due to family pressure and confusion about the future, her heart was always covered with a layer of dust, making it difficult to reach the final door of transformation.

The alliance with Lin Yi in the past two days gave her clear hope. A huge stone fell from her heart, and her soul became more transparent and clear than ever before.

Coupled with the majestic life source and enlightenment-enhancing effect contained in "Clear Radiance Dew", which was spent a lot of money to receive the gods, the quantitative change finally led to a qualitative change.

"Crack."

It was like the sound of some invisible shackles being broken, resounding deep in her soul.

Buzz!!

With Aurelia as the center, a vast breath of life suddenly burst out.

Emerald green brilliance soared into the sky, penetrating the bulkhead of Jade Whisper Starship, reflecting a vibrant shadow in the cold void of space, as if thousands of plants and trees were growing and blooming in an instant.

The star in her body that had condensed for countless years began its ultimate collapse and transformation at this moment.

The purer and more powerful Life Source Energy is like hundreds of rivers returning to the sea, converging and compressing crazily towards the "point" in the center.

Her aura climbed crazily at a speed visible to the naked eye, instantly breaking through the shackles of Star Vortex level and stepping into a broader world.

Star Domain level!

Moreover, because her foundation was extremely solid and her state of mind made a perfect breakthrough, as soon as she broke through, her state quickly stabilized, directly reaching the peak of the first level of Star Domain level, and it seemed that she was only one step away from the second level.

I don't know how long it took, but the emerald-green brilliance slowly restrained itself and was finally completely absorbed into Aurelia's body.

She slowly opened her eyes, and her ice-blue eyes became deeper, as if they contained endless vitality and mystery. Although the pressure naturally exuded from her body was deliberately restrained by her, the pressure of the life level belonging to Star Domain level expert was completely different.

Aurelia felt the vast source energy rushing in his body and had a clearer and deeper control over Life Rule, with a bright smile on his face.

She, Aurelia Xina, let go of her obsessions and with the help of World Derivation level spirit tea, she finally broke through the hurdles that had troubled her for many years at this moment and was successfully promoted to Star Domain level expert.

Lin Yi felt the brand new and vast sea-like aura on Aurelia, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, which then turned into a heartfelt smile, congratulating. "Congratulations to Ellie, for breaking through the realm today and achieving stardom."

Aurelia came back to his senses and smiled modestly at Lin Yi, "Commander Don't make fun of me. Compared with your Star Domain level Rule Comprehension genius over the past forty years, my breakthrough to the star realm with World Derivation level spiritual tea is nothing."

World Derivation level spirit tea?

Is this what it will do if I drink it?

Lin Yi was a little dumbfounded for a moment.
