The Kashi Race's Metal Lifeform

(The source of the setting is in the author's notes; feel free to discuss it.)

"Disciple, please sit down!" said Jinguang Marquis, gesturing to the chair beside him.

"Yes!" Yang Wu sat down immediately.

Then, Jinguang Marquis said to Marquis Zidian and the other two, "Marquis Zidian, I've brought Yang Wu here for you. What's on your mind?"

"Hahaha!" The Ape-man Race expert Marquis Zidian, laughed heartily and said directly to Yang Wu, "Yang Wu, we've long heard of you, the unparalleled genius of the Ganwu Universe Country. We didn't come to see you before because we were afraid of disturbing your cultivation, since the finals are the most important thing."

"Now that the finals are over, a few of us rushed over immediately!"

"Indeed!" The handsome and sinister Marquis Jinyu also said with a smile, "I never expected that you, Yang Wu, would be able to defeat 'Death God' Bolan from the Noah Universe Country. Bolan is known as a genius who appears only once every tens of thousands of epochs. I think you, Yang Wu, are a genius who appears only once every tens of millions of epochs. You are probably not inferior to the most talented people in our human history!"

In an instant, several Marquis Level Immortal boasted to Yang Wu.

Yang Wu chuckled inwardly.

These three giants are really...

Don't want to disturb his cultivation?

It's likely that these three giants didn't pay any attention to Yang Wu before he entered the Primal Secret Region!

A peerless genius, appearing only once every tens of millions of epochs?

These people really dare to speak their minds! Although Yang Wu felt that he might not lose to people like Kedi and Shihuo in the future, he also knew that he was still far behind those peerless geniuses.

However, seeing the three's enthusiasm, Yang Wu quickly said, "The three seniors are the backbone of our human race! My teacher, Jinguang Marquis, has always told me stories about these three seniors, which I greatly admire!"

Did Jinguang Marquis ever mention these three giants to Yang Wu? Clearly not, not even once!

But Yang Wu still had to say it this way, both to flatter the other party and to subtly remind him that he and Teacher Jinguang Marquis were very close.

"Yang Wu!" After exchanging compliments, the Black Veil Girl Marquis Heiyan, finally revealed their purpose. "We've come to see you not only to witness your unparalleled genius, but also to bring you a gift!"

"Oh? A gift?" Yang Wu's heart skipped a beat.

This is a privilege that even Luo Feng didn't receive in the original novel.

However, Luo Feng initially joined the Taichu Secret Realm, while Yang Wu directly joined the Primal Secret Region. It's understandable that these three giants placed their bets on him in advance.

Marquis Heiyan said with a smile, "We've prepared a metal Auxiliary Life called 'Kashi' for you, Yang Wu. This Metal Lifeform has undergone perfect initial nurturing and we believe it will definitely become a great helper on your path to becoming Yang Wu powerful figure!"

"Metal Lifeform?" Yang Wu was taken aback, then said, "Marquis Heiyan, thank you for your kindness, but I already have Auxiliary Plant Life!"

Yang Wu certainly wouldn't refuse the gifts from the three men, since he had no intention of causing them any trouble during his future tenure Inspector.

However, Yang Wu felt that there was no need for Metal Lifeform.

He already had Auxiliary Plant Life. If it was only for defense, only one of these two Auxiliary Life could be used at a time, so Yang Wu naturally didn't need to cultivate any new Metal Lifeform.

"Haha!" the ape-man Marquis Zidian laughed from the side, "Of course we know that you Yang Wu, already possess Auxiliary Plant Life, but this Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' is different from ordinary Auxiliary Plant Life and Auxiliary Metal Lifeform!"

"Oh?" Yang Wu immediately became interested and quickly asked, "I wonder what the difference is?"

Marquis Zidian smiled and said, "As we all know, besides providing defense for their master, if Auxiliary Life's cultivation level is higher than the master's, it can also allow the user to unleash even greater power!"

Yang Wu nodded.

Auxiliary Life, such as those that support Auxiliary Metal Lifeform, Auxiliary Plant Life, and energy life, are all capable of possessing other beings.

Just like in the original work, when Molo, Primal Secret Region Member, used Auxiliary Metal Lifeform to fight against the World Lord at the Universe Level, once Auxiliary Life possesses a body, it can indeed enable the master to unleash extraordinary power.

This is also why Yang Wu chose to cultivate the two plants.

"But!" Marquis Zidian continued, "Auxiliary Life is, after all, just Auxiliary Life. Although it can greatly increase the user's power when it possesses the user, this power is ultimately not the user's own, so it cannot be used perfectly!"

Yang Wu nodded again.

"But this Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' is different!" Marquis Zidian smiled and said, "This Kashi Race Metal Lifeform is an extremely special kind of Metal Lifeform. Once it possesses a user, it can completely merge its power with the user's power."

"In other words, users can use the power of the Kashi Race Metal Lifeform as their own, and can use various secret techniques to attack, defend, and evade!"

"What?" Yang Wu was immediately taken aback after hearing this.

"If we can truly achieve a perfect fusion of powers, wouldn't the abilities of 'Kashi' be close to those of the Yan God Race's General Armor and King Armor?" Yang Wu couldn't help but think to himself.

Of course, even if it could be perfectly fused, this Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' would still be inferior to the General Armor and the King Armor. After all, the Yan God Race's treasure armor can be used immediately, while the Metal Lifeform requires continuous cultivation, especially when breaking through to the Immortal stage, where there is a considerable probability of failure.

Even so, it is still an extremely rare occurrence.

With this in mind, Yang Wu immediately began searching for information about the Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' through the Auxiliary AI, Chi Yan.

Kashi Race Metal Lifeform: A very special type of Metal Lifeform born in the vast universe, extremely rare in number. After birth, Kashi Race Metal Lifeform can consume various metals to evolve; the higher the grade of the metal consumed, the stronger they become after evolution.

Metal Lifeform forms come in many forms.

There are various other categories, such as those primarily for defense, offense, support, fusion, and more.

Because there are many types of Metal Lifeform with countless functions, some Metal Lifeform even give birth to rare and precious treasures, while others can fuse with other metals, such as fusing with an F-class spaceship to give the spaceship life.

In conclusion, there are a great variety of Metal Lifeform forms, and their functions are extremely complex.

The Kashi Race Metal Lifeform are known as the 'most powerful Auxiliary Metal Lifeform '.

Of course, the term "most powerful" here refers to the most powerful among all the Auxiliary Metal Lifeform that can be sold within the Human Race.

In the vast universe, there are still some unique and magical Metal Lifeform that cannot be sold normally. Even if someone were to sell them, they would be beyond the reach of a mere genius like Yang Wu.

The Kashi Race Metal Lifeform form possesses extremely unique characteristics, allowing it to perfectly fuse with Flesh and Blood Lifeform, bestowing its power upon the user while also providing some defense.

Of course, the defensive capabilities provided by the Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' are naturally inferior to those of some plant life forms and Metal Lifeform specifically designed for defense, but its auxiliary functions are the most powerful among all Metal Lifeform, which is why it is loved by countless strong individuals.

The newly born Metal Lifeform 'Kashi' larva is priced at a whopping 10,000 Hunyuan Unit; after a little nurturing, the price will be even higher!

Of course, although they are the same when they are young, their strength can be significantly different when they are raised to adulthood through different methods.

Just like the Mo Yun Vine, when cultivated to the Peak World Lord, the best result is 360 main vines, while the worst result is only 36 main vines.

As for those Mo Yun Vine that only reach the Universe Level or Domain Lord Level in the end, there's not even a need to mention them.

Such a limited growth potential must have been due to problems in the seed stage of cultivation. Without paying a hundred or a thousand times the price, there would be no chance of reaching the World Lord Level.

Of course, if there is an extremely ordinary Auxiliary Life that has been accompanying its master since the master was weak, the master may have to pay an incredibly high price to increase the Auxiliary Life's potential after the master becomes powerful.

However, such a situation is extremely rare, since with that kind of wealth, one could easily cultivate even more powerful Auxiliary Life.

The Kashi Race Metal Lifeform is much more expensive than the Mo Yun Vine, and its price is comparable to that of the most resilient plant life form Star-Eating Grass.

Once the Kashi Race Metal Lifeform reach the Peak World Lord, their bodies will be completely comparable to F9-grade Metal. Among them, the worst-cultivated type can weigh up to 100,000 tons, while the best-cultivated type can weigh up to 10 million tons.

"Kashi Race Metal Lifeform!" Yang Wu smiled as he looked at the description that appeared in his mind.

He finally knew what kind of Auxiliary Life he was best suited to cultivate.

However, given Yang Wu's current wealth, he can probably only afford to buy a simple Kashi Race Metal Lifeform larva, not even for the first preliminary cultivation.

So, should I accept the goodwill offered by these three giants?

Yang Wu pondered this in his heart.

The concept of Auxiliary Life forms to possess and enhance power is described in Chapter 27 of Part 10 of the original text.

As for the setting of the Kashi Race Metal Lifeform, I based it on the Star-Eating Grass.

The Crimson Chaos Copper Mother Fragment obtained by Luo Feng amounted to over a ton, driving the Domain Lord into a frenzy. Therefore, I set the price of one ton of F9-grade Metal to approximately one Hunyuan Unit.

The strongest Kashi Race Metal Lifeform, cultivated to its peak, weighs tens of millions of tons. Due to its life-like characteristics, its value would certainly exceed tens of millions of Hunyuan. This also basically aligns with the original work's description of the World Lord Level Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass causing the Marquis Level Immortal to go bankrupt.

If you have a better explanation of how to categorize and cultivate Metal Lifeform, please leave a comment.

As for the price of 300,000 Hunyuan Unit for Star-Eating Grass seedlings mentioned in the original text, I personally believe it can be understood as having undergone initial cultivation. Even the weakest of them can grow into World Lord Level Hundred-Vine Star-Eating Grass.
