Nine Fragrance Hall is a restaurant located next to the Puya Palace.
The fact that they could open a shop in the Hongmeng Alliance's restaurant speaks volumes about the quality of their food. Star Wheel King ordered a private room and a table full of dishes.
"Congratulations, Star Wheel King."
Lu Qingshan smiled and offered his congratulations.
Originally, since Star Wheel King had taken him around Hongmeng City and acted as his tour guide, Lu Qingshan should have been the one to treat him. However, Star Wheel King had just won a big prize and earned 100 million Hunyuan Unit, so Lu Qingshan went along with the other party's wishes.
As for this favor, I can repay it later. There's plenty of time; no need to rush...
" Myriad Laws King, this is One in Ten Thousand. I've tried it a few times before, but the odds were always slim. This time, I won because I came out with you. Logically, I should be thanking you."
Star Wheel King was very pleased.
"You can't say that. If I were really lucky, I would have won the lottery myself." Lu Qingshan took out his lottery ticket number, 888. It was auspicious, but it wouldn't matter if he didn't win.
He crumpled the banknote into a ball and threw it into the trash can.
Then he took out a bottle of Purple Fire Ape Wine.
This thing is very precious in reality, but its price is acceptable in the Virtual Universe, and Lu Qingshan has prepared quite a lot of it.
" Purple Fire Ape Wine!"
Seeing the fine wine that Lu Qingshan had taken out, Star Wheel King was astonished. He smiled and said, " Myriad Laws King, to be able to afford such fine wine, your status among Human Race must be extraordinary."
"It's so-so. I couldn't afford this in real life."
Lu Qingshan poured a cup for Star Wheel King, and the two chatted as they ate.
"Let alone in reality, I can't afford to drink it even in the Virtual Universe. I'm only doing this because of you."
Star Wheel King took a sip of the fine wine, his eyes slightly narrowed. The taste of the Purple Fire Ape Wine was undeniable; even in the Virtual Universe, the flavor remained unchanged, only lacking its special properties.
" Myriad Laws King, you must be wondering why I pulled you away just now."
"Star Wheel King said with a smile."
"Does this mean you're a low-key powerhouse?"
Lu Qingshan answered.
"No!" Star Wheel King shook his head and explained, " King Rank experts have lived for countless years. Besides their immense strength, there's not much else they can pursue. If it's a chance to show off, who wouldn't want that... Don't laugh at me, but the main reason I kept quiet was to save some money."
"If I had just stood up and announced that I had won the lottery, many people would have been envious, but they would also have insisted that I treat them all. If I treated all of them, my prize money would probably be reduced by half. Our Void Light Race is just a small race, and I have a very important thing to do that requires a lot of money, so I'm trying to save money wherever I can."
"I see."
Lu Qingshan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "It's only natural, there's nothing to laugh about. Besides, didn't you specifically invite me? I should be even happier."
Lu Qingshan looked up the Void Light Race and found that it was a small race within the Hongmeng Alliance. The strongest member of the clan was only a Universe Venerable, and there were no more than ten King Rank experts. Even within the Hongmeng Alliance, such a race was extremely weak.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the Star Wheel King opposite him. This guy's strength was probably among the top five in his own clan.
The food at the Nine Fragrance Hall was quite good. Although it couldn't compare to the delicacies Ling Xi made herself, it was still a whole level above Hundred Flavors Pavilion.
After they had eaten and drunk their fill, the two left the private room.
"Your Highness Qingshan?"
A slightly surprised voice came from behind him. Lu Qingshan turned his head and saw a powerful figure who was drinking alone in the hall looking in his direction.
The opponent was about two meters tall, with a face like rotten wood; he was a powerful member of the Banyanwood Race whom Lu Qingshan had seen before.
"Who are you?"
Lu Qingshan asked.
The old man approached, utterly astonished. "I thought I had mistaken him for someone else. I never imagined it was truly His Highness Lu Qingshan, my King Rongku. When His Highness visited our Banyanwood Race, Qingmu, who was in charge of receiving him, was my subordinate."
"I have met the King Rongku."
Lu Qingshan greeted him.
"Why has Your Highness come to the Hongmeng Alliance?"
King Rongku was quite surprised. He hadn't expected that Prince Qingshan, who had visited their Banyanwood Race not long ago, would actually come to the Hongmeng Alliance.
However, he did not believe that Lu Qingshan had the strength to King Rank. After all, not everyone in the Hongmeng Alliance was King Rank or above. For example, the servants of the Nine Fragrance Hall and many shop workers were not King Rank, but they needed to have extremely high backgrounds to work in the Hongmeng Alliance. Being able to work in the Hongmeng Alliance was a very precious opportunity for the Alien Race of the Human Race Alliance.
As a genius from the Primal Secret Region of the Human Race, it was not difficult for Lu Qingshan to obtain such an opportunity.
"I came out for a walk..."
Just as Lu Qingshan was about to speak, Star Wheel King, who had finished paying the bill, walked over and said, " Myriad Laws King, let me take you to the Universe Treasure Hall next. It's the largest shop in the Hongmeng Alliance."
Lu Qingshan nodded, gave King Rongku an apologetic look, and said, " King Rongku, we'll be leaving now. We'll contact you again when we have time."
"Good, good..." King Rongku was stunned for a moment, and said "good" twice, but his heart was filled with shock.
" The Myriad Laws King?"
"That Human Race genius who only recently went to their Banyanwood Race has already been King Rank, joined the Hongmeng Alliance, and received a title? This... this is unbelievable!"
The Sacred City of the Banyanwood Race.
After meeting Lu Qingshan at the Hongmeng Alliance, King Rongku arrived outside the Elders' Hall in reality.
"I have met with the Elder Kuxin in so much effort."
" Rongku, why did you come to me in such a hurry? Is something wrong?"
The speaker was the Venerable Kuxin had taken Lu Qingshan to visit the Sacred Stele.
"Elder," King Rongku took a deep breath before speaking, "Do you remember the Human Race genius who visited our Banyanwood Race last time? I just saw him at the Hongmeng Alliance. He was referred to as the Alien Race Myriad Laws King by a King Rank king who accompanied him..."
"Huh? It hasn't been that long... and he's already broken through to the Immortal?"
Even the Elder Kuxin were astonished.
"I don't know... Within the Hongmeng Alliance, physical abilities are limited to the Apprentice stage. Even if Universe Venerable is right in front of them, they cannot discern the other's cultivation level."
King Rongku shook his head and said.
"In any case, being able to join the Hongmeng Alliance means having the strength to be King Rank. This Prince Qingshan is progressing too fast. He has a great chance to become a top Human Race expert in the future. Our Banyanwood Race's investment back then has yielded huge profits!" Elder Kuxin.
Then he said, " Rongku, you can go now. I will report this to the teacher."
"He's a veteran."
After reporting the news, King Rongku turned and left.
The Elder Kuxin, gazing in the direction of his teacher's seclusion, exclaimed with admiration, "Teacher's vision truly surpasses mine by a hundred or a thousand times. Back then, I merely thought that Human Race genius was True Treasure, yet Teacher bestowed upon him the Banyan Wood Divine Blade, a treasure beyond compare. If this Prince Qingshan becomes a top-tier Human Race expert, this act of kindness alone will be enough to protect our race for countless epochs."
Meanwhile, in Hongmeng City, Star Wheel King and Lu Qingshan walked for a long time before arriving at the outside of a huge building.
Above the shop's entrance, the three large characters "Universe Treasure Hall" appear very grand and imposing.
Star Wheel King explained, "This Universe Treasure Hall is the largest treasure trading shop in the Hongmeng Alliance. The One in Ten Thousand prizes of the Puya Palace, which are found nowhere else in the world, basically all come from here. Universe Treasure Hall has two floors. The first floor already has tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, of treasures. As for the second floor, you need to be a user of four stars or higher, or have over 100 billion Hunyuan Unit deposited in the two major Human Race banks. Let's go in and take a look at the first floor; there are already countless treasures there."
Star Wheel King was a competent tour guide; he explained all the rules before leading Lu Qingshan inside.
They were also worried that Lu Qingshan might not know the rules and would be unhappy if he went to the second floor without permission and was stopped.
This has happened before.
The two went inside.
Although Universe Treasure Hall only has two floors, it is actually larger than Puya Palace.
On the first floor, the shelves on both sides were densely packed with treasures.
Prices vary.
The highest level has hundreds of billions of Hunyuan Unit, while the lowest level has millions of Hunyuan Unit.
To be honest, Lu Qingshan doesn't have much savings right now, so he can only look at most of the treasures.
After browsing for a while, his gaze fell upon a huge Golden Armor displayed on the first floor.
The Golden Armor figure is eight meters tall and looks extremely imposing.
Lu Qingshan glanced at the description above.
"It truly is the King Armor of the Yan God Race..."
The armor's information is described in great detail, clearly outlining its advantages, disadvantages, and origins. This armor was left behind by a powerful King Rank expert of the Yan God Race after his death. Its strength lies in its astonishing defense, possessing formidable physical and spiritual protection. However, its weaknesses are obvious: it cannot shrink, its face cannot defend against attacks, and it's expensive...
This Golden Armor is priced at 5 billion Hunyuan Unit. It's unlikely that anyone other than someone driven by curiosity or someone who already knows how to use it would buy it.
Lu Qingshan knew that this was something a top Human Race expert had put here to fish for, with the aim of finding out how to use the Yan God Race's battle armor. Later, he caught Luo Feng.
After glancing at it a few times, Lu Qingshan turned and left. Compared to the Time Overlord Emperor Armor he wore, the King Armor of the Yan God Race was nothing.
Moreover, I can't use this thing at all.
After browsing around the Universe Treasure Hall for a long time, Lu Qingshan spent over 100 million Hunyuan Unit to purchase several treasures that would greatly benefit Immortal God, intending to bestow them upon his disciples in the future.
Beyond the Human Territory, in the distant cosmos.
The Golden Rock Race youth, Ghost King Avatar, arrived in the skies above a vast continent aboard an ordinary spaceship.
"Kill! Annihilate these scum of the Golden Rock Race!"
"Hold on!"
"For our people, for the Golden Rock Race!"
Shouts of battle continued.
The Golden Rock Race, which is similar to the Ghost King Avatar, is being besieged by the Black Rock Race and the Crimson Rock Race.
The battle was incredibly fierce.
Far from the battlefield, Jin Yansen, the Immortal God of the Golden Rock Race, was also facing an attack from two Immortal God. At this moment, his divine body was very weak, obviously having been shattered.
" Jin Yansen, surrender! As long as you withdraw from Golden Rock City and hand it over to us, you can live!"
"Impossible! Golden Rock City is where our Golden Rock Race have lived and thrived for generations. If we hand it over to you, where will our Golden Rock Race survive?"
"You still have your Divine Kingdom, let them live in your Divine Kingdom, haha."
"Damn it! My Golden Rock Race would rather die than surrender! Even if our Golden Rock Race is wiped out, our Golden Rock Race's geniuses who are abroad will surely return to take revenge!"
"Haha, you still expect Jin Yanming from your Golden Rock Race? Although he's World Lord General, he hasn't returned in so many years; he's probably already dead somewhere."
"Oh, who just said I'm dead?"
A slight ripple appeared in Time-Space.
The Ghost King Avatar's clone, in the form of Golden Rock Race youth, Jin Yanming, appeared on the side of the battlefield.
" Jin Yanming! What are you doing back here? Get out of here now, and avenge your clan in the future!"
Upon seeing Jin Yanming, Jin Yansen, who was standing to the side, spoke loudly.
The Immortal God, clad in crimson armor, flashed a ruthless glint in his eyes and swung a massive red warhammer toward the Ghost King Avatar.
" Jin Yanming, you're back now, so you're not leaving!"
"Hehe."
The Ghost King Avatar easily turned and dodged the warhammer. His body transformed into a streak of Flowing Light, arriving beside the Immortal God in crimson armor. He drew his sword, then sheathed it...
"Pfft!"
The Immortal God's divine body disintegrated in mid-air, turning into countless tiny fragments that slowly disappeared.
One strike slays the Immortal Army Lord!
