"Bought it!"
After discovering that there was still stock of the Flesh Lingzhi, the Ghost King Avatar quickly made a decision.
He joined the Nine Domains Alliance for this very thing, and now that he has the opportunity to obtain it, he doesn't care if he loses this disguise in the future.
At least on the surface, the Nine Domains Alliance still has some sense of propriety and won't directly attack him; he only needs to guard against those behind-the-scenes conspiracies and schemes.
Contribution points in the Nine Domains City of Glory are easy to obtain.
All you need to do is contribute some treasures to the alliance.
The Ghost King Avatar possessed almost all the assets of High King Roaring Gold King from the Demon Race Alliance, so naturally, it wouldn't lack these treasures.
He kept the treasures that belonged exclusively to the Roaring Gold King, and Ghost King Avatar the remaining common treasures directly in the Jin Yanming, gaining 5.3 billion contribution points.
Then he returned to the City of Glory and exchanged the last Flesh Lingzhi for it.
After obtaining the treasure from a branch of the Nine Domains Alliance, the Ghost King Avatar quickly left.
These days, he can already feel many covetous glances.
After all, the strength he displayed was only at the Early Marquis. The wealth of an Early Marquis is only a few million Hunyuan, but now he has taken out billions of Hunyuan Unit... This has made many people speculate!
"This Jin Yanming must have obtained the entire treasure of a King Rank expert, and possibly even the legacy of Universe Venerable!"
Inside a grand hall.
The eight-meter-tall man with a muscular physique looked at Jin Yanming's information with a burning gaze.
"Your Highness's guess is correct. Jin Yanming was merely a World Lord before, but upon returning to his clan, he suddenly possessed the strength of Marquis Immortal. He must have had a stroke of great luck and obtained an incredible opportunity while traveling. However, this guy is a fool... He thought that joining the alliance would guarantee his safety, and he actually dared to bring out such a precious treasure."
A servant with a wolf-like body nearby let out a piercing laugh.
The burly man sneered.
" The Golden Rock Race, a weak race, is unworthy of such a treasure. That treasure should belong to me."
"Your Highness, rest assured, I have already ordered people to keep a close eye on this guy. Once he goes to a secluded place, our people will make their move. After all, we are all members of the alliance, so we still need to be mindful of appearances."
"Um."
Just then...
The werewolf-like servant suddenly received the message, and his expression immediately turned grim.
"Your Highness, there's been a slight mishap; Jin Yanming slipped away right under our noses."
"How could that be? Didn't you say that the two you sent were both Marquis with strong tracking abilities?" The burly man's tone was somewhat dissatisfied.
"That's true, though I'm not entirely sure of the specific reasons," the werewolf servant assured him. "But Your Highness, rest assured, that Jin Yanming member is still under our surveillance. Unless he never returns to the Golden Rock Race, we will definitely catch him again."
"That bastard..." The burly young man sneered, "Next time, don't hold back. If you see him, just attack him. Killing a mere Marquis is nothing. I don't believe anyone in the alliance would dare to speak ill of our Yan God Race."
"Yes, Your Highness, I understand!"
In the Human Territory, in a desolate star field.
The Ghost King Avatar's avatar, disguised as an ordinary human Immortal God, appeared out of thin air.
"Two Marquis Immortal are following us? It seems we've really been targeted this time. The Nine Domains Alliance is truly in chaos!"
After obtaining the Flesh Lingzhi from the Nine Domains Alliance branch, he sensed that someone was following him.
The Ghost King Avatar pretended not to know anything, and after hiding in a very distant star field, he suddenly Time Acceleration and shook off those people.
Then, using the Divine Kingdom Teleportation, he returned to the Human Territory.
Once we returned to Human Territory, everything was safe.
" Flesh Lingzhi."
The Ghost King Avatar took out a crimson Ganoderma lucidum, about one meter in size, and examined it closely.
After obtaining the treasure from the Nine Domains Alliance branch, he left in a hurry without examining it closely.
Now, looking at this treasure again, the Ghost King Avatar had only one thought in mind.
"Perfect!"
The Flesh Lingzhi has a perfect appearance, just like the Blood Luo Crystal.
It has a faint warmth to it when held in your hand.
According to the description, this is a treasure mutated after being nourished by the blood of the naturally born Fire Beast God. Apart from being unusable above ten times the genetic level and only having one chance to use it, there are no other restrictions on its use.
Who should I give this to?
The Ghost King Avatar pondered for a moment.
He currently has no First-Class Genius disciples, otherwise he wouldn't be in this dilemma. There are five second-tier disciples: Ling Yu, Ling Xi, Bulu, Golden Sword, and Luo.
Bulu's strength is too weak; comprehending the laws is the most important thing now.
Ling Xi has her own destiny, so we will not interfere with her growth for the time being.
Golden Sword decided against it. This guy disrespected his teacher and was on Outer Domain Battlefield, so sending him away would only create more trouble.
That leaves only Luo and Ling Yu.
Actually, giving this to Luo would be the most cost-effective option, because Luo is the strongest. After obtaining this Flesh Lingzhi, he could probably be immediately Marquis, and King Rank in the future would be a piece of cake.
The higher your capabilities, the higher the standards you'll be awarded, the fewer restrictions you'll face, and the better the cashback you'll receive in the future.
However, Ling Yu...
Lu Qingshan thought of Ling Yu's bloodline.
On the Blood Luo Continent, Ling Yu activated the Ghost King bloodline for the second time, greatly enhancing his talent and making him the most talented among all his disciples.
If this Flesh Lingzhi were given to her, she would surely advance even further.
and.
The amount of Blood Luo Crystal fused with Ling Yu must be considerable. If she uses this Flesh Lingzhi to enhance her genes, could she become a Black Warrior?
This was something Lu Qingshan was really looking forward to.
With the potential of the Black Warrior, combined with the Ghost King Avatar bloodline, could he become First-Class Genius?
Having witnessed the success of Ling Xi and Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingshan's desire for First-Class Genius intensified. Second-Class Genius and Third-Class Genius could be promoted, why couldn't First-Class Genius?
The chances of recruiting a First-Class Genius disciple are too slim. Why not elevate your existing disciples to the level of First-Class Genius?
"Let's take a gamble. Even if the chances of success are slim, it will increase Ling Yu's potential, making future improvements much easier."
One year later.
Within the Initial Universe Chaos City of the universe.
Jieming stood outside a small building, carrying a suitcase.
"Greetings, teacher." The door opened, Jieming quickly bowed, presenting the silver box with both hands. "Teacher, this is the goods you asked me to retrieve."
"Hmm, Jieming... how's your training going lately?"
Lu Qingshan accepted the box and asked with a smile.
"Teacher, after breaking through to the Immortal, my progress has been very slow. However, fortunately, my work isn't too demanding and the pay is good, so perhaps I can get some improvement in the future."
"I feel a little ashamed," Jieming said.
In the years since he broke through to the Immortal God, his strength has hardly improved at all. Compared to Luo Qi, even Jieming doubts whether he is a fool.
"It's inherently very difficult for Immortal God to improve their strength; some haven't been able to do so even after hundreds of millions of epochs. Don't rush..." Lu Qingshan smiled, then took out an Immortal Divine Weapon and said, "This weapon is quite good for Immortal God who has comprehended the Earth Law. I'll give it to you. Familiarize yourself with it; if you can use it skillfully, it should increase your strength."
Thank you, teacher.
Jieming was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.
Go!
"It's a teacher."
Lu Qingshan watched his disciple Jieming leave before returning to his own small building.
For Third-Class Genius disciple, it becomes extremely difficult to make further progress after breaking through to the Immortal God.
This was true for Jieming, and it was also true for his other Third-Class Genius disciples who were Immortal God.
In comparison, one realizes the value of Second-Class Genius. Luo's strength has improved rapidly over the years, and he is just one step away from being Marquis.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple Jieming the Immortal Divine Weapon, the Thousand-Jun Hammer, and received a hundredfold return; you now possess the Heaven-Splitting Hammer!]
Lu Qingshan did not examine the treasure.
An ordinary Immortal Divine Weapon with a hundredfold return offers absolutely no appeal; it's probably just a weapon suitable for someone who can be granted the Marquis, or at most King Rank.
The key ingredient is the Flesh Lingzhi!!
Lu Qingshan opened the silver treasure chest and looked inside at the blood-red, almost perfect treasure.
Then he sent a message to his disciple Ling Yu.
Lingyu is in the Primal Secret Realm, not in the Initial Universe. However, it's not difficult to get here. Primal Secret Realm Master-level members can travel to the Initial Universe to study at any time, requiring only some points.
Lu Qingshan waited for about half a year before he finally met his disciple Ling Yu in the Initial Universe.
In the living room on the first floor, the food that Ling Xi made in real life was laid out on the table.
Before leaving the Ganwu Universe Country last time, Ling Xi prepared a lot of food and stored it in his Space Ring for him to take with him.
" Ling Yu, I hope calling you to the Initial Universe this time didn't disturb your cultivation?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"Master, I am just one step away from crossing the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge, and I am preparing to come to Chaos City to cultivate for several hundred years."
Ling Yu took a bite of the food on the table.
" Ling Xi made this?"
"Yes, that's right, it feels different."
Lu Qingshan suddenly used his consciousness to transmit his voice.
Ling Yu carefully examined the food, a look of surprise appearing on her face. She then transmitted her thoughts, saying, " Ling Xi, these dishes..."
"You sensed it, didn't you? It seems you weren't aware of this before... I only learned about it when I returned from the Outer Domain Battlefield and Ganwu Secret Realm... Ling Xi obtained an extraordinary inheritance from the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement. This matter must be kept secret for Ling Xi's safety."
Ling Yu looked at the food with some surprise, then nodded solemnly. As the World Lord a Primal Secret Region realm, she understood what this represented.
Ling Xi is her younger sister, and she cares about her sister's safety even more than Lu Qingshan does.
Lu Qingshan continued.
"That Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining technique is extraordinary... I obtained it by chance and was unaware of such a secret. The second volume is extremely dangerous to cultivate, which is why I haven't given it to you yet. I will give you all a copy later when your willpower has strengthened."
"Thank you, teacher!" Ling Yu nodded. The Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Technique was already incredibly wondrous, capable of tempering the soul and will. But Ling Xi's experience now further demonstrated that this secret technique held even greater secrets.
"The reason I called you here today isn't because of these things, but mainly because of this."
Lu Qingshan took out the silver box.
"This treasure has a similar magical effect to the Blood Luo Crystal, but I'm not quite sure... Would Ling Yu be willing to help me try it out?"
Ling Yu glanced down at the box, then nodded without hesitation. "Teacher, I'm willing."
Having spent so many years with Lu Qingshan, Ling Yu couldn't believe that her teacher would harm her.
"Take it home and use it. There are detailed instructions inside. Your teacher believes you can do it."
Lu Qingshan said calmly.
