Wind Thunder Island, Lu Qingshan's Villa.
Looking at his two disciples who had already broken through to the Universe Level, Lu Qingshan revealed a satisfied smile.
"Indeed, both of you have broken through to the Universe Level. In a primary Universe Country, you would already be considered a powerful figure."
"I really owe it to the teacher's help."
Lei Ming and Parisi spoke at the same time.
They know perfectly well why they've gotten this far. If they hadn't had their teacher's help, they'd probably still be waiting at the Ganwu Dojo, hoping to gain entry into the Ganwu Mystic Region Realm.
Lei Ming was particularly moved. Fifty years ago, he was just a boy who had set foot on Maple Leaf Star. It was his teacher who guided him step by step, giving him resources that others could only dream of, which enabled him to have the strength he has today.
That's Universe Level!
Back then, Elder Lu, whom he admired most on Young Eagle Star, was only Star Level Nine.
Elder Lu was once his goal in cultivation, but now, he can easily suppress a hundred beings like Elder Lu with a flick of his wrist.
"You are my disciples, so I will naturally take care of you, especially Lei Ming. You have spent most of your life by my side. I am a little worried about your safety if you leave to venture out on your own."
"Teacher, don't worry, Lei Ming will be very careful after he goes out and won't do anything he's not sure he can handle."
Lei Ming made a serious promise.
"Hehe..." Lu Qingshan just chuckled, then flipped his hand and took out the Life Fruit he had just bought from the public area.
"Teacher, this is so precious!"
Lei Ming and Parisi both took a breath.
They certainly knew what it was.
When the teacher took out this treasure in front of them, they had no idea what he was going to do.
This scene has happened countless times over the years, but this time, the gift the teacher gave them was the most precious.
Parisi was born into the Blade Race and, having been raised by Blade Race, his knowledge and experience far surpassed that of Lei Ming.
He was fully aware of the value of the Life Fruit; even World Lord would dream of obtaining it... In their Blade Race, even Immortal descendant could not receive it unless they had made an extraordinary contribution.
"No need for further words. Each of you will receive five of these items. After taking them back, immediately cultivate your Cloud-Touching Vine. You must cultivate your Cloud-Touching Vine to the level of Domain Lord before you are allowed to venture out."
"It's a teacher."
The two dared not say anything more, and could only respectfully bow and accept Lu Qingshan's gift.
"Cultivating the Cloud-Touching Vine, even with the Life Fruit, will take at least a year. During this year, Lei Ming, if you have any questions about cultivating the Lightning Origin Law, you can come to me anytime. I will guide you whenever I have time. Parisi, study the Law Secret Patterns on the Purple Jade Mystic Lightning Crystal carefully. Logically speaking, your talent is better than Lei Ming's. It's not a big deal if you are behind in the initial laws for a while, but you must catch up as soon as possible."
"Disciple understands. Disciple will strive to master the Lightning Origin Law within a year, and will not disappoint Master!"
Parisi looked somewhat ashamed.
He had been leading Lei Ming all along, but unexpectedly, he was overtaken by a bend in the Genius Battle and is now far behind.
"Go back and nurture your plant life. Also, don't forget to report your adventures to the secret realm administrator."
Venturing out to explore is not a departure from the secret realm; they remain Universe Level members of the Ganwu Mystic Region.
The Ganwu Mystic Region is vast and boundless; Star Level geniuses occupy only a small portion of it, while there are also many Universe Level and Domain Lord Level geniuses!
As for World Lord geniuses, they are extremely rare. Occasionally one or two will appear, and they will be recommended to the Virtual Universe Company's Apocalypse Mystic Region, where there are tens of millions of World Lord, many of whom came to be in this way.
After his two disciples left, Lu Qingshan checked his gains.
He bought the Life Fruit and Laser Gun from the Eighteenth Prince's shop, and planned to give them the Laser Gun as a gift before they left in order to maximize his profit.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple Lei Ming 5 Life Fruit, receiving a 100x return; you have also received 5 Hundred-Vein Leaf.]
[You bestowed 5 Life Fruit upon your disciple Parisi, receiving a 100x return; you also received 5 Hundred-Vein Leaf.]
Hundred-Vein Leaf?
What is this?
It was yet another treasure he had never heard of before, Lu Qingshan asked Nasus to investigate.
[ The Hundred-Vein Leaf originates from the Cosmic Secret Realm. It has a very powerful effect on the evolution of plant life and can also repair the injuries of Immortal God, accelerating the recovery speed of their Immortal Divine Body. The price is approximately 500 Hunyuan Unit per piece.]
"If each piece costs 500 Hunyuan Unit, then ten pieces would be worth 5000 Hunyuan Unit?"
Even though Lu Qingshan wasn't short of money, the 5,000 Hunyuan Unit still took him by surprise.
Even the poorest Immortal God don't have that many Universe Coin.
5000 Hunyuan Unit! You have to understand that twenty years ago, Lu Qingshan was still worried about getting 10 Hunyuan Unit to upgrade his bank's level. In just twenty years, his wealth has increased exponentially.
This is just a Universe Level return.
If Lei Ming and Parisi break through to the Domain Lord and World Lord in the future...
Lu Qingshan was in a good mood.
It seems that besides the World Lord Level, we need to get Lei Ming and Parisi to break through as soon as possible... There's no need for them to linger at lower levels... The World Lord stage is the most important time.
As their strength increases, the scope of what they can bestow will expand. For example, the Life Fruit was previously not recognized at the Star Level Nine.
" Nasus, does this Hundred-Vein Leaf have any effect on the evolution of Star-Eating Grass?"
Lu Qingshan inquired.
The evolution of Star-Eating Grass seemed to have stagnated, and the appearance of this Hundred-Vein Leaf was very timely.
"Master, the Hundred-Vein Leaf has an effect on any plant life. Hundred-Vein Leaf have a 70% chance of making the Star-Eating Grass evolve again... To guarantee 100%, you'll probably need at least twenty leaves."
"A 70% probability is already pretty good. Where am I supposed to get the remaining ten tablets?"
Lu Qingshan searched and found that these Hundred-Vein Leaf were extremely rare, with only one or two appearing occasionally at mid-level auctions.
This thing seems to be a monopolized product. The 500 Hunyuan Unit that Nasus just mentioned were the exchange price within the Ganwu Universe Country. If it were at an auction, the price would probably double.
"Over the years, the Star-Eating Grass has practically devoured all of the Black Obsidian Mother. It's on the verge of evolution, so let's give it a push."
The next second, Lu Qingshan entered his own Internal World.
The Star-Eating Grass has consumed too much ore and Locke Divine Water, and is now in a semi-conscious state, a sign that it is about to evolve.
" Star Eater... These ten leaves will be useful to you."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan summoned ten Hundred-Vein Leaf above the Star-Eating Grass- Star-Eating Grass was weak and listless, it still stretched out its vines to wrap the Hundred-Vein Leaf around its body.
Not long after...
The previously drowsy Star-Eating Grass suddenly became active, and its vines began to change visibly.
The vines, originally only a hundred meters thick, began to grow larger and thicker, quickly reaching a diameter of a thousand meters. They began to spread outwards from within the Internal World, crossing valleys and rivers, and coiling around mountain peaks. With just a slight exertion, the Star-Eating Grass vines caused the mountains created by Lu Qingshan to instantly crumble, countless fragments of rock tumbling down...
This is the Strangulation of the Star-Eating Grass. Like countless giant vines, once it wraps around a target, it tightens its grip until the target is strangled to death. If it encounters a stronger target, it can also trap it so that it cannot break free.
The Star-Eating Grass did not wreak havoc within Lu Qingshan's Internal World; it was only due to the sudden surge in its power that it was unable to completely contain its strength.
"Bloom, Star Eater..."
Lu Qingshan stood above the Internal World, gazing at the beautiful scenery.
The Star-Eating Grass in perfect bloom is simply the most beautiful plant in the world.
The Star-Eating Grass continued to evolve, new vines sprouting from its roots. The remaining Locke Divine Water was being continuously absorbed, and it was about to be completely consumed, just like the Black Obsidian Mother.
73 Vine...
A brand new vine sprouted and quickly grew to several kilometers in length.
74!
75!
The evolution lasted for more than three months. Lu Qingshan observed from the air, silently watching the changes in the Star-Eating Grass, which had grown from 72 vines to 108 vines...
His strength also broke through from the Domain Lord Ninth Stage, successfully becoming the First Stage Realm Lord...
The feeling of being connected by blood allowed Lu Qingshan to clearly sense the excitement of the Star-Eating Grass!
108 vines of the Star-Eating Grass.
If all the vines were fully extended, even an Immortal Army Lord like Kunshaluo could be trapped for a short time.
If one's strength is raised to the World Lord Ninth Stage, there will be a tremendous change in one's power.
Star-Eating Grass is great in every way, except for one thing: it's too expensive.
Excluding everything else, Lu Qingshan calculated that this evolution alone cost him over ten thousand Hunyuan Unit.
This was just the most basic plan, and there was a certain probability that it would not succeed. Fortunately, the Star-Eating Grass was quite effective and did not disappoint him.
If the perfect solution were implemented, the costs would be even more staggering.
To cultivate the Star-Eating Grass to the World Lord Ninth Stage Peak, an astronomical number is required!
