This Spring of Life is so powerful.
Even Star-Eating Grass with 300 vines can only withstand a single drop of life force.
Lu Qingshan's gaze returned to the small spring within his Internal World, no longer finding it too small.
With so many Spring of Life, how many drops are there? Even Lu Qingshan himself probably couldn't count them all.
"It seems my previous estimate was too conservative."
Lu Qingshan looked at the Star-Eating Grass was once again on the verge of evolution.
Having absorbed most of the energy from the drop of Spring of Life it had just flung away, the Star-Eating Grass entered its second evolutionary phase once more.
This time it will probably evolve directly to 500 vines.
Moreover, with so many Spring of Life, Lu Qingshan could easily cultivate the Star-Eating Grass to a thousand vines.
Lu Qingshan's original plan was to cultivate the 300-vine Star-Eating Grass to the Immortal Realm, so that he would have a helper with an Marquis Immortal. Now it seems that this plan has to be changed.
Once the Star-Eating Grass evolves to more than 500 vines and breaks through to Immortal, it immediately possesses the combat power of King-level Immortal.
Given sufficient resources, breakthroughs in plant life are far less difficult than breakthroughs in human life.
Because plants have limited intelligence, they cannot comprehend laws or Creation Secret Technique. But the Primal Universe is fair; they have their own unique ways of survival.
The resources required for plant life to achieve Immortal are thousands, even tens of thousands of times greater than those required for human breakthroughs. However, once a breakthrough is achieved, the corresponding Law Comprehension can be immediately grasped—a gift from the Primal Universe.
They belong to the resource category.
Another type is the intelligence type.
Humans belong to one type of intelligence, but not to the pinnacle of intelligence. Therefore, by comprehending a single Lower Origin Law, one can directly break through to the realm of Immortal God, obtaining Law Divine Body and eternal life.
However, if it were a super-intelligent life form like the Zerg Mother Emperor, comprehending the Lower Origin Law would be impossible for her to break through, even if she comprehended multiple Lower Origin Law. To break through to Immortal, they would need at least a very high level of understanding of the Higher Law.
It would probably require Law Comprehension of the 18th level of the Heavenly Bridge, which is equivalent to the level of a human King Rank. Breaking through to become Immortal God is more than ten thousand times more difficult than for humans.
However, once the Zerg Mother Emperor breaks through, her strength will increase terrifyingly. Humans at the Pinnacle King Rank are basically no match for her. She can barely be compared with some powerful beings who are close to the Invincible King. If she is one of the best among them, she is even more terrifying than human Invincible King.
Cultivating a Star-Eating Grass with over 500 vines would require enough assets to bankrupt even a King Rank expert, but for Lu Qingshan, who possesses the Cashback Golden Finger and the Fountain of Spring of Life, it's nothing.
"Absorb, evolve... let me see where your limits lie!"
Lu Qingshan looked at the Star-Eating Grass lying unconscious on the ground and muttered to himself.
After observing his Internal World for a while and finding that the Star-Eating Grass was perfectly normal, Lu Qingshan left.
As for the Spring of Life, its water is restricted by the springhead and cannot freely seep in, so it will not affect the Internal World. Moreover, he used the World Power to create a barrier nearby, so the low-level life forms born in the Internal World cannot get close to the Fountain of Spring of Life.
After doing all this, he returned to his small apartment building.
" Nasus, please order another one Cloud-Touching Vine seedling, one Star-Eating Grass seedling, and some cultivation resources."
"Yes, Master."
Nasus quickly completed the points redemption.
The value of the Cloud-Touching Vine is very low, practically free. The Star-Eating Grass is more expensive, but for Lu Qingshan, it's just a drop in the ocean.
Since the plan is to cultivate the Star-Eating Grass to five hundred vines, or even a thousand vines, it is necessary to make further preparations.
If he encounters an enemy, he will release the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass. Anyone who isn't a fool will know that he has a lot of wealth on him. The Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass is a trump card that can only be used at crucial moments. Once it is used, it must be a fatal blow.
Therefore, Lu Qingshan needs to cultivate two more plant life forms. The requirements don't need to be too high. 216 vines of Cloud-Touching Vine will suffice, and 300 vines of Star-Eating Grass will be enough.
Using the Cloud-Touching Vine as a defensive armor and the Star-Eating Grass as an offensive weapon, they work together to conceal their wealth while ensuring their safety.
Orders placed in Chaos City would only be delivered when the Cosmic Passage opened again, so Lu Qingshan wasn't in a hurry.
Anyway, there are still more than a thousand years before leaving the Initial Universe, which is enough time for him to cultivate these two plant life forms.
"Master, Jieming is at the door."
Nasus reminded him.
"Open the door and let him in."
"Yes."
The door opened.
Jieming walked in, looking excited.
Lu Qingshan stood in the center of the first-floor living room, looking at the Ape-man Race boy with a slight smile on his face.
[Name: Jieming ]
[Age: 300,000 cosmic years]
[Level: World Lord Ninth Stage ]
[Rating: Third-Class Genius, can take on apprentices, base return rate 100x.]
The data is flawless; he's World Lord Level... only a hair's breadth away from breaking through to Immortal, and still Third-Class Genius.
Lu Qingshan slowly spoke, " Jieming, since you've chosen to come here, it means you've thought it through. Are you willing to become my disciple?"
"Disciple Jieming greets Master."
Jieming suddenly knelt on the ground with a thud, his head pressed against the earth.
"Hehe, get up."
Jemin slowly stood up, his eyes filled with excitement. The ape-men were a major branch of the human race in the universe, and as a genius of his family, Jemin naturally understood what the Primal Secret Realm Master represented.
So when he received an email from Lu Qingshan asking him to consider it, he came here without hesitation after the gathering.
" Jieming, how much longer until you fully comprehend the Earth Law?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
A hint of shame appeared on Jieming's face. " Jieming's aptitude is average, incomparable to Luo's. Currently, I've grasped about 98% of the Earth Law, still far from it... If there are no bottlenecks, I should be able to fully comprehend it within the next thousand years or so. But if there are bottlenecks..."
"Don't worry, since I've chosen to take you as my disciple, I'll be responsible for you. If you can't even break through to the Immortal, I won't look good either. I've bought you an Earth Origin Fruit, a fruit that enhances your understanding of Earth Law. It will be delivered to you in about a month. With the help of the Earth Origin Fruit, you should be able to comprehend Earth Law very quickly."
Lu Qingshan smiled and spoke.
"Thank you, teacher, Jieming."
The ape-man boy knelt on the ground again, extremely excited... Although he didn't know what the Earth Element Fruit was, his teacher, as the master of the Primordial Secret Realm, had given such a guarantee, so it couldn't be wrong.
"You made the right choice in seeking out this teacher."
He was incredibly excited.
" Jieming, don't be shy around me anymore. Just be yourself, that's fine..." Lu Qingshan pointed to a chair and said, "Sit down."
"Yes, teacher."
Jieming quickly sat down.
"I just finished drinking, so I won't offer you any more alcohol. Just have a drink to help you sober up."
With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan presented a pile of pastries and drinks on the table.
Lu Qingshan's attitude eased Jieming's tension considerably, and he returned to his previous demeanor, picking up a piece of pastry and taking a bite.
"Teacher, these pastries are delicious, where did you buy them?"
"You probably can't buy it from the Ganwu Continent Crisp Moon Workshop on the Qianwu Continent; the shipping cost is thousands or even tens of thousands of times more expensive than the pastries themselves."
Lu Qingshan smiled.
Jieming poured Lu Qingshan a glass of juice first, and then poured one for himself.
Then I heard Lu Qingshan say...
"You have a wide circle of friends. Do you know of any World Lord among your group who entered the Initial Universe who are of decent aptitude but haven't yet comprehended the Lower Law, and also of good World Lord?"
Lu Qingshan wasn't just having a casual chat with Jieming; he had his own needs.
Taking Jieming as his apprentice was also to set an example and show others his sincerity. Besides, Jieming is a capable young man... he could become an assistant to Jemin after he breaks through to Immortal.
"I do know a few people like the teacher mentioned, such as Kelin. He's almost at the point of comprehending the Water Law, but he seems to have hit a bottleneck. He's a friendly person and a friend worth making."
Jieming thought for a moment, "And then there's Bu Kai, Yan Shan... they're not bad people either, and they're just a hair's breadth away from breaking through to the Immortal Realm."
After introducing these people, he took full advantage of his initiative and said, "Teacher, if you want to take them as your apprentices, I can help persuade them."
Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "I will definitely break through to the Immortal in the future. I just want to recruit a few helpers before that. Reliable character is the most important thing... There's no rush. We can talk about this after you've comprehended the laws."
"Disciple understands." Jieming quickly figured out the reason.
