Special Lifeform Remains

In this city where countless powerful individuals gather, scenes that are rarely seen in ordinary times are commonplace here.

Large spaceship transaction.

Trading of Plant Lifeform and Metal Lifeform.

The business of hiring the strong.

Special item appraisal service.

Major auction houses.

New types of gambling businesses.

It has everything.

Groups of powerful individuals from various races chatted and laughed as they walked through Hong Alliance City. Although they came from different ethnic groups, the atmosphere was quite peaceful, which was refreshing.

It's important to understand that even among Feng Wang expert in the Outer Domain Battlefield, those from different races rarely get along so harmoniously.

Moreover, it's rare to see so many Feng Wang expert. Lin Yan has only seen them a few times in all his years on the Yan Ji Continent.

But they're everywhere in Hong Alliance City!

"Puya Palace?"

Lin Yan walked down the street and looked at a strangely styled seven-story palace in the distance. It covered several kilometers in length and width and was very lively. There were also three human languages written on the palace, "Puya Palace".

It should be noted that Hong Alliance City is very economical with land. The living quarters of those who King level Immortal are only so big. Therefore, apart from their residential areas, there are limits on the number of shops that can be built. King level Immortal should forget about it; at the very least, they need Universe Venerable as their backer to build such shops.

As long as the shop is open, it needs to pay various taxes and fees to the Hong Alliance. However, the customers of the shops in Hong Alliance City are all wealthy, so the profits they can earn are naturally extremely high.

Among them, the "Puya Palace" is particularly noteworthy!

Because Puya Palace operates a casino business, which is the only one in the entire Hong Alliance City, most of those Feng Wang expert are adventurous and have a long life with not much to do, so they just come here to have some fun. The money that Puya Palace earns from its commission is unpredictable!

It is rumored that the Puya Palace is backed by a certain hall master of the Hong Alliance Palace, or even that it is jointly run by several hall masters.

"They really know how to make money," Lin Yan thought to himself. "No wonder we see that many powerful King Rank may have extremely precious treasures, but apart from that, their wealth is only average. But Universe Venerable don't care much about items that can be measured in 'Hun Yuan Unit' and can easily make huge profits."

The various businesses of the Universe Country are not taken seriously even by those who have been granted the King level Immortal; at most, their families rely on his connections to run them.

Even the Jiuzhou Company, thanks to Lin Yan's current status and position, has been developing smoothly and its influence has spread to 1008 Universe Nations. The profits it has obtained may be very tempting even to Feng Wang expert, but they are of little help to Lin Yan and are only used to cultivate the Earth lineage.

The enormous profits these shops earn in a single day would take the game "Kunlun" countless years to achieve!

Not far from the Puya Palace, there is a shop called "Xuanji Pavilion", which mainly deals in Mechanical Puppet, spaceships, and even mechanical items such as Divine Base Star Fortress.

Technological development was extremely prosperous in the Primordial Universe. The most representative example is the "Mechanical race," one of the Six Great Peak Races. There are many shops in Hong Alliance City that do this kind of business, and some large shops are even all-encompassing.

Strictly speaking, in terms of "mechanical items", "Xuanji Pavilion" can be considered the most famous in Hong Alliance City.

Lin Yan had no interest in the Puya Palace whatsoever, but he went straight into the Xuanji Pavilion. As soon as he entered, he saw a large number of powerful figures.

"The Mechanical race's battle suit provides perfect protection for the entire body. An energy shield naturally forms on the outermost layer of the suit, and the energy source for the energy shield is the Energy Crystal inside the suit."

"This Mechanical race battle suit is F3 grade. It can resist attacks without any personal strength. Even if a Planetary level little guy wears it, ordinary Immortal God will not be able to break through this battle suit. It is definitely the best gift to buy for your beloved disciples and descendants."

Beside Lin Yan, a servant was introducing a group of Alien Race King Rank who were traveling together.

"What--"

"Even Planetary level being wearing this armor can withstand attacks from Immortal God?!"

"I wonder who's behind the Xuanji Pavilion, that they can even manufacture such Mechanical race battle suits!"

"What's so special about that? I remember at an auction held by the Hong Alliance 180,000 epochs ago, there was a G-grade Mechanical race battle suit that could easily withstand even attacks at the King Rank level. It was later acquired by the Universe Venerable of the Nobus race for an astronomical price and given to his son. I heard that the G-grade Mechanical race battle suit was made by the Xuanji Pavilion!"

"It can even withstand attacks from the King Rank- level? This is probably... worth as much as a treasure."

"The Nobus race? You mean that 'Iceberg'? So that Venerable of the Nobus race dotes on him so much. No wonder a member of a weak clan dares to act so arrogantly in Hong Alliance City. Fortunately, this is in the Virtual Universe. If this were in reality, even if Iceberg had a G-level Mechanical race battle suit, he would probably have been killed by other powerful clans long ago."

Inside the shop, the several Alien Race Feng Wang expert looked at the Mechanical race's battle suit and discussed it amongst themselves.

Normal battle suits and armor require a certain level of strength to be effective in resisting attacks. Planetary level can only wear Tier 1 battle suits, and even if they can afford Tier 2, they can't use them.

This Mechanical race battle suit has no requirements for strength, making it truly a gift for beloved disciples and descendants.

After some discussion, one of the Alien Race King Rank was clearly quite interested in it and ultimately spent over 100 million Hun Yuan Unit to acquire the F3-level mechanical battle suit.

"Phew." Lin Yan walked out of the Xuanji Pavilion, let out a long breath, and was somewhat amazed. "It seems that the Xuanji Pavilion is really quite profitable."

Although there is competition among many shops in Hong Alliance City, Xuanji Pavilion is indeed doing very well, and its quality is trusted by the King Rank of Hong Alliance City, earning it a good reputation.

Other Feng Wang expert might not know the Inside story, but Lin Yan knew it very well, because... this was something his own teacher had done!

However, the Mu Xing Country Lord didn't manage it much. The position of Pavilion Master was held by the Second Senior Sister, "Venerable Xinglong". Usually, it was managed by subordinates. Only for truly huge transactions such as the "Divine Base" would Venerable Xinglong be asked to come forward.

All the profits earned were invested in the development of the Star Spirit race.

Among the top Cosmic Humans, the Star Spirit race doesn't even rank in the top five in terms of the number of strong individuals, let alone the top three. But that's because... their main achievements are in technology, unlike the "Aragami Race" and the "Yan Poluo race," which mostly cultivate warriors who are extremely passionate about combat.

The former involves investing resources to break through technological barriers, establish a complete technology industry chain, and then put the manufactured products into the market. The latter involves concentrating resources on a particular person, who can seize resources for the clan when they become powerful.

The former requires huge upfront investment, but once successful, it becomes stable and efficient, achieving a victory for the system. The latter is more subject to chance, flourishing with the emergence of a powerful figure, and potentially declining with the fall of that same figure.

The Golden Horn Clan is a prime example.

During the time of the great elder Xerod, the Golden Horn Clan was very prosperous. However, after Xerod perished in the Cosmic Secret Realm, they could only rely on becoming a vassal clan of humanity in order to have a chance to find a place to live in the universe.

Although the Star Spirit race are far inferior to the top-tier "Mechanical race" in terms of technological level, this mainly refers to the high-end fields, such as the level of Universe Venerable and even Cosmic Lords. At the level of Feng Wang Immortal God, the Star Spirit race's manufacturing level is still very competitive!

There is no commercial trade between the Mechanical race and the Hong Alliance. With the support of the human race, the Star Spirit race has complete room for independent development. Even the various mechanical weapons and spoils of war captured from the Mechanical race are given priority to the Star Spirit race for research, so as to study the manufacturing methods of the Mechanical race's powerful members.

"A G-grade Mechanical race battle suit. Second Senior Sister seems quite formidable." Lin Yan shook his head and chuckled, recalling what he had overheard in the Xuanji Pavilion.

The Star Spirit race has only one Universe Venerable, the "Venerable Xinglong," who possesses the strength of High-class Universe Venerable. Lin Yan is not entirely sure about the strength of his second senior sister.

However, it is indeed very powerful in terms of "mechanical weapons".

This Mechanical race battle suit was made by learning and imitating the manufacturing methods of the Mechanical race. The difficulty is relatively not particularly high. According to Lin Yan's understanding... Venerable Xinglong has led the research and development of two kinds of technological weapons that would surely kill Universe Venerable, and even seriously harm Universe Venerable!

These technological weapons at this level are all very complex from the surface, and they require high manufacturing conditions. There are only three types in the entire human race!

It is no exaggeration to say that Venerable Xinglong is a towering figure in this field, a true guiding light for humanity.

Of course, the more powerful the mechanical item, the higher the cost of manufacturing it, and the greater the research cost!

If the Star Spirit race want to improve their technology, they need to continuously invest and spend money. This money can't just appear out of thin air, and the "Xuanji Pavilion" is a crucial link in this chain.

With its own strong iron-forging skills, access to many powerful figures in the Hong Alliance, and the support of the human race, its profits are second to none among the many shops in Hong Alliance City!

Upon realizing this, Lin Yan felt like a poor man. Apart from his Supreme Treasure precious treasures, his entire fortune was only a fraction of the value of the weapons his senior sister had crafted.

He also understood that things like Supreme Treasure and secret techniques could help him because they were important in the long run, but things like money could only be obtained by himself. He either had to obtain spoils through Life and Death Hone or through the reward mechanisms of the Virtual Universe Company's Tongtian Mountain or the Qualification Battle. There were no shortcuts.

Lin Yan was walking down the street when he suddenly stopped.

He looked up and saw that the shop in front of him was two-story and covered an area of several kilometers in length and width. There were not many shops in Hong Alliance City with a similar area, only a few such as "Puya Palace".

"Yu Bao Tang".

Among the numerous shops in Hong Alliance City, the largest and best one is undoubtedly "Yu Bao Tang".

Call!

Upon entering, Lin Yan was immediately struck by the sight of countless treasures densely packed together, stretching to the very end of his field of vision. Each treasure was accompanied by a diagram containing videos, pictures, and textual information, detailing the origin, unique features, and price of the treasures for sale.

He walked and observed.

On this floor alone, there are countless treasures, numbering in the hundreds of millions!

Prices range from millions of Hun Yuan Unit to hundreds of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, with a wide variety available.

"Master, many of the treasures in this Yu Bao Tang are not even found in the treasure vault of the Virtual Universe Company." Wind Queen's exclamation echoed in Lin Yan's mind.

Yu Bao Tang truly lives up to its reputation as the largest and best shop in Hong Alliance City. The sheer number and rarity of its treasures are astounding, with some items not even found in the Virtual Universe Company's vault. Of course... some treasures are in the vault but not in Yu Bao Tang.

However, shopping in a treasure trove can never match the overwhelming feeling of being surrounded by such a dazzling array of items in this hall.

"Indeed impressive." The more Lin Yan looked, the more envious he became. Looking at the countless treasures, he couldn't help but want to buy them.

But he always remembered that he was a poor man!

The items that piqued his interest were almost all priced in the billions or even tens of billions of Hun Yuan Unit, which he could not afford.

He can't afford it!

"I remember... this Yu Bao Tang is the property of my Virtual Universe Company's 'Lord of Dragon Walk.' If he weren't of that status, how could he have collected countless treasures comparable to the Virtual Universe Company's treasury?" Lin Yan thought to himself.

The Lord of Dragon Walk is one of the earliest elders of the Virtual Universe Company, having entered the ranks of Universe Lords at a very young age. He is also the only Universe Lord in the Virtual Universe Company who is not from the Primordial Ancestor lineage.

Of course, I have also received a lot of guidance from my Primordial Ancestor.

However, let alone the Lord of Dragon Walk whom he didn't know, even if it were the Chaos City Lord Lin Yan was familiar with, he wouldn't be entitled to buy things on credit!

He forcefully suppressed his desire to "buy, buy, buy".

Lin Yan's consciousness communicated with Wind Queen in secret. "Wind Queen, record the information of these treasures and select those that are beneficial to cultivating the 'Golden Framework', such as the fur and scales of some rare life forms. If they are not in the Virtual Universe Company's treasure vault, mark them first."

Some things you can choose not to buy, or not to buy for the time being, but there are many things that are unavoidable investments.

Cultivating the "Golden Framework" requires analyzing and studying the most fundamental structural composition of Billions of Living Beings and billions of substances. Lin Yan's progress in the "Golden Framework" over the years has not been slow, mainly because... he has spared no expense in investing points in this area!

Considering the need for gradual progress, the materials he purchased before were not particularly precious. Although their impact on advancing the Life Gene Level was extremely limited, their large quantity allowed him to achieve considerable success in cultivating the Golden Framework.

It can be said that among the Myriad Races in the Primordial Universe, Lin Yan has studied countless races whose Life Origin are composed of countless races!

Now that the Xue Qiao Clone's strength has reached the World Lord peak, its Life Gene Level is also steadily improving, and the restrictions on perfect transformation are getting smaller and smaller. Lin Yan plans to purchase more precious materials to accelerate the improvement of its Life Gene Level.

"Ordinary substances are slow to take effect, so we must use some strong medicine."

Lin Yan knew that if he could truly analyze and study all the Billions of Living Beings and billions of substances, he would eventually reach the Perfect Gene Level, but this would require an incredibly long time.

We can take our time with that later, but there's something more important right now.

To successfully nurture the "Ancestor Tree" into Third Clone, Lin Yan's original Life Gene Level must reach 960 times!

It remains a long way off.

"The Third Clone is very important to me. Once it is successfully formed, the Ancestor Tree's innate laws will encompass all the Origin Law of space. In this way, it will not be difficult for me to comprehend the eight lower-level Origin Law during my time World Master. I will also have a better chance to rely on the Ancestor Tree's Talent Secret Method, 'Endless Divine Realm,' to cultivate Immortal Primordial Spirit!"

"Once the Immortal Primordial Spirit is formed, both comprehending the laws and Creation Secret Technique will undergo a qualitative change!"

Lin Yan said silently.

Life Gene Level of 960 times is not simple. Most universe masters have Life Gene Level of around 1,000 times. Special Lifeform that can surpass 1,000 times are very rare.

However, after Lin Yan cultivated the "Golden Framework," he was no longer bound by the "hundred times Life Gene Level" below the level of the Universe Lord. With the boost to the Life Gene Level from the "Light Web Crystal" and the Golden Framework, it was possible to achieve this.

However, it requires the analysis and research of many magical substances, and Lin Yan's continuous investment is essential!

For example, there's a treasure right in front of Lin Yan right now.

He looked at the bronze-colored bone in front of him, which was covered with a layer of clear light. The bone was about three meters long, and there was a faint claw mark on the side.

Although it was simulated in Virtual Universe, it was also created based on a real-world feather scan, exuding a chilling and fierce aura.

The drawings next to it have detailed text descriptions.

"The remains of the Special Lifeform 'Qing Wu' are at the immortal level, 30 times the Life Gene Level!"

Price: 16 million Hun Yuan Unit.
