Yang picked up his wine glass and took a small sip.

Then I squinted my eyes, savoring the taste sensations of the fine wine.

After a long pause, he finally spoke, "You flatter me. This wine is at a certain level; even an old wine connoisseur like me can't tell the difference. Which is more expensive, this Wind and Rain Wine or that God's Intoxication?"

Before this, the best wine Yang had ever drunk was "God's Intoxication," which was worth eight thousand Hunyuan Unit per bottle in reality.

"More or less."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

In terms of price, this Wind and Rain Wine is definitely more expensive, just like the Ice Rain Wine that Luo prepared for the teacher. Both are fine wines costing tens of thousands of Hunyuan Unit per bottle. However, for Lu Qingshan now, there is actually no difference between tens of thousands of Hunyuan Unit and eight thousand Hunyuan Unit.

"Brother Qingshan, you've really put me in a difficult position. After drinking such fine wine here, how am I supposed to swallow the wine I usually drink in the future?"

Yang had a bitter expression on his face.

Fine wine is good, but even with all his wealth, he couldn't afford a single bottle.

"Hehe." Lu Qingshan chuckled, "Brother Yang, why don't you stay at my Qingshan Residence while you're cultivating in the Initial Universe? You can keep me company for a few drinks when you're free. I have a few guest rooms at my Qingshan Residence."

Lu Qingshan wasn't just being polite; he was extending a sincere invitation.

However, Yang shook his head and said, "That won't do... Mr. Luo told me before that there are many insights and experiences left behind by powerful figures in those small buildings in Chaos City. I was hoping to break through my current bottleneck by relying on those insights."

Lu Qingshan understood the excuse in Yang's words, but the reason he gave was quite interesting.

"Alright! There are many small buildings in Chaos City that provide opportunities for outsiders to seek enlightenment. I'll check for you and see which building contains insights into the Wind Law... Wait a moment."

While drinking, Lu Qingshan asked Nasus to do some research.

These things are all recorded in the Virtual Universe, and with Lu Qingshan's current permissions, he can naturally search for them at will.

Soon, he discovered that all ninety-eight small buildings contained residual runes reflecting his understanding of the Wind Law.

Sixty-two of them were still empty. Lu Qingshan sent the numbers of these sixty-two rooms to Yang and then said, "Brother Yang, you can go and take a look at these places later. If you find any seal carvings that can help you overcome your bottleneck, choose them as your residence in Chaos City for the next three thousand years."

"Brother Qingshan, you've done me a huge favor!"

Looking at the house numbers sent by Lu Qingshan, Yang was overjoyed. There were millions of small buildings in Chaos City. If he had to search for them one by one, he didn't know when he would have finished.

Having this information can save him a lot of time.

Lu Qingshan continued, "Furthermore, I will help you find an Immortal God who has comprehended the Wind Law to serve as your mentor. You can ask him any questions you have in the Virtual Universe."

"This... this won't do, this is too much trouble."

Yang was taken aback and quickly waved his hand.

"It's no trouble at all, just a matter of a word. Rest assured, the Immortal God I've chosen will be more than willing."

Lu Qingshan spoke in a flat tone.

Lu Qingshan has taught in Chaos City for three hundred years, and has taught countless Immortal God.

Among these people, quite a few have grasped the Wind Law.

For them, if Lu Qingshan were to ask them for help, it wouldn't be a problem, but rather a stroke of good luck!

Let alone the rewards bestowed upon them by the King Rank level, even a few extra words of guidance during a lecture could save them countless years of arduous practice.

Soon, Lu Qingshan selected a suitable candidate.

Nan Hui!

The High-level Immortal Army Lord, the Deputy Minister of the Commerce Department of the Noah Universe Country Branch of the Virtual Universe Company, applied for the qualification to comprehend the Initial Universe five thousand years ago. In the past few hundred years, he has never missed a single lecture by Lu Qingshan.

An Immortal God who comprehends the Time Origin Law didn't miss a single one of Lu Qingshan's many lectures on the Space Origin Law... Either this person has the idea of cultivating both Time-Space, or he greatly admires Grandmaster Lu Qingshan.

If he truly possessed the talent to cultivate both Time-Space, he wouldn't still be an Immortal Army Lord, so the previous speculations can be largely ruled out.

Lu Qingshan wouldn't mind giving someone who had always supported him a chance.

After entertaining Yang and Luo, Lu Qingshan sent an email to the Immortal Army Lord named Nan Hui.

Then, just like he had recommended the Dwarf and the Yao Rao one before, Lu Qingshan recommended that Yang become a formal member of the Virtual Universe Company ahead of time. With this identity, he could increase his chances of comprehending the Chaos Stele many more times.

With such a favorable cultivation environment in the Initial Universe, guidance from Immortal God who has comprehended the Wind Law, and multiple opportunities to study the Chaos Stele, the probability of success for Yang, who is only a hair's breadth away from comprehending the Wind Law, is extremely high.

After doing all this, Lu Qingshan put Yang's matter aside for the time being. Unless Yang had any problems and sought his help, he would not interfere with Yang's cultivation.

Next, he focused on fusing the Origin Blood Crystal Stone.

Within his Internal World, Lu Qingshan once again integrated a small piece of Origin Blood Crystal Stone into his body.

He discovered that this method of fusion was the most efficient.

One treatment can roughly double the gene output.

Time passed.

As the Origin Blood Crystal Stone gradually decreased, Lu Qingshan's Gene Multiplier continued to rise.

"35 times."

"40 times."

"45 times!"

The fusion with the Origin Blood Crystal Stone was painless, just like when I used the Lightning Origin Crystal Stone before; on the contrary, it was quite comfortable.

This feeling was somewhat addictive for Lu Qingshan.

He was even somewhat worried that he wouldn't experience any withdrawal symptoms once he stopped using the Origin Blood Crystal Stone.

Although the fusion of the Origin Blood Crystal Stone went very smoothly, with the increase in Gene Multiplier, the number of crystals required for each doubling of the body's genes increased.

This shattered Lu Qingshan's original plan, which was to directly use the Origin Blood Crystal Stone to enhance his body's genes a hundredfold.

It now seems completely impossible.

Of course, this is easy to explain.

Having a stronger genetic foundation means needing more energy, which is normal...

About ten years later, the last small piece of Origin Blood Crystal Stone was completely fused into Lu Qingshan's body.

At this moment, his genes have undergone tremendous changes compared to when they first appeared.

"60 times!"

Lu Qingshan felt the immense power contained within his body.

Its basic power is 60 times that of World Lord Power.

Combined with the Body Amplitude, that's nearly three thousand times the World Lord Power.

The Human Main Body and the Ghost King Avatar are now almost indistinguishable.

"Try out the Time Overlord Emperor Armor!"

Lu Qingshan pushed it with all his might, but to his dismay, he found that even with his World Lord Power, which was already the basic strength of High-level Marquis, he still couldn't activate the Third Layer layer of the Time Overlord Emperor Armor's secret runes.

To activate the third level of the Time Overlord Armor, one would likely need to break through to the level of an Immortal God...

Although Lu Qingshan was somewhat displeased, he was not disappointed, since a higher standard meant greater power.

In any case, the Time Overlord Emperor Armor with its Second Layer secret runes is already sufficient for him.

He is currently cultivating in seclusion in Chaos City and will not fight with anyone; Law Comprehension is the most important thing for him.

"Try the Beast God Blood again."

Lu Qingshan hadn't forgotten that he still had twenty drops of Beast God Blood that the system had returned as cashback. Since this stuff couldn't be returned any more, Lu Qingshan planned to use it himself.

He didn't use it before because he was already Black Warrior, and even with the fusion of 20 drops of Beast God Blood, the improvement was very slight... But now he has 60 times the base genes, and his body has also fused with the Beast God Finger of the Fire-Space Beast God... so he should be more compatible with the Beast God Blood, and these 20 drops of Beast God Blood should be able to improve him even more.

Lu Qingshan felt a sense of anticipation.

A drop of the Beast God Blood appeared in his hand.

On the golden blood, countless complex runes were manipulated by Lu Qingshan, and the blood slowly seeped into his palm.

Something's changed!

Lu Qingshan was overjoyed.

He felt the same sensation as when he fused with the Blood Luo Crystal.

That means that fusing with the Beast God Blood had an effect on him.

One drop.

Two drops.

Lu Qingshan's body, like parched land that hadn't seen rain for years, was now thirstily absorbing this heavenly rain.

All twenty drops of the Beast God Blood were fused together.

Lu Qingshan felt the changes in his body once again.

68 times the life genes.

"This Beast God Blood is of great use to me!"

Lu Qingshan didn't know whether it was the effect of fusing with the Fire-Space Beast God Bone or the effect of the Origin Blood Crystal Stone that made his body so compatible with the Beast God Blood. Twenty drops of Beast God Blood actually increased his life genes by eight times.

This gave Lu Qingshan a strong sense of confidence that the remaining part could probably be completely made up with just the Beast God Blood.

For him, a hundredfold increase in gene output is already within reach!

" Blood Luo Crystal, Blood Luo Crystal..."

Lu Qingshan wondered who else he could bestow the Blood Luo Crystal upon.

He has already given his son, Lu Lingxiao, the Beast God Blood, even if he could get it back a hundredfold.

The three Golden Sword are already enough; bestowing more at this time would probably have no effect.

Ling Yu doesn't need it.

Luo... no... the laws don't match, and the Blood Luo Crystal is hard to explain even for the Ghost King Avatar.

The youngest disciple Wu Man, had already been to the Blood Luo Continent at the Universe Level and didn't lack this item, so he couldn't bestow it upon him.

That leaves only Bulu.

After hesitating for a moment, Lu Qingshan directly submitted an application, preparing to bestow three Blood Luo Crystal upon Bulu.

Three is the limit of what can be given.

When he bestowed the Golden Sword upon him, he had vaguely sensed this limitation: even if he gave Bulu more Blood Luo Crystal, only these three would yield a cashback.

Based on the previous cashback, three pills would roughly equal thirty drops of Beast God Blood, which probably still wouldn't be enough...

Perhaps we could apply for some from the company!

Despite being a renowned King Rank in Chaos City, he is actually just a World Lord.

The World Lord Level is still in the company's nurturing period.

During the World Lord stage, the better you perform, the more free resources you can obtain. Even treasures Beast God Blood, which even Universe Venerable crave, can be obtained for free.

As long as Lu Qingshan can pass through the Primal Heavenly Mountain, he will have such qualifications. At that time, he can apply directly or have his teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord, apply for him.

This thing is a treasure a hundred times more valuable than Blood Luo Crystal. It's a strategic resource for the Hongmeng Alliance, so why not take it?

The key is that the Beast God Blood provided to him by the company wasn't a system cashback; it could be used to obtain even better treasures.
