With so many Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level, if we could capture one and give it to our disciple to possess, perhaps...
These naive young Dou Kou were thinking of capturing Lu Qingshan and taking him back as their servants, but they never expected that Lu Qingshan's ideas were even more wicked than theirs.
Of course, Lu Qingshan was only thinking about it.
Putting aside the relationship with the Ganwu Country Lord, the Top Universe Overlord of the Dou Kou Race is no mere figurehead.
This Dou Kou has Gene Level a hundred times higher, which is quite good among Special Lifeform. He is even rarer and more precious than the One-Horned Ghost King. If he could capture him and possess him, there would be no need for Lu Qingshan to make a move.
Those who held such thoughts have long since become Ice Peak corpses within the ' Mountain of Ten Thousand Gods' Tombs '.
The Dou Kou Race is incredibly united; if you capture even one of them, the two Universe Overlord will probably personally come to hunt you down!
"Look, Teacher Talasha is here."
"Teacher Talasha has appeared; this Human Race is doomed."
"I hope the teacher won't freeze him into an ice sculpture. That's such a pity; I've never seen a living Human Race before."
"Haven't we seen it now? Human Race who dare to trespass on our Ice Prison Star should be prepared to die."
Amidst the chatter of a group of children, a woman dressed entirely in purple, with a Yao Rao figure and hundreds of purple braids, appeared before them.
Her calm eyes seemed to be full of wisdom.
Teacher Talasha.
He appears to be one of the top experts of the Dou Kou Race, at least Invincible King.
As soon as Talasha appeared, she looked at Lu Qingshan and asked, " Human Race, you should know the consequences of venturing to our Ice Prison Star without authorization. If you don't have a reasonable explanation, you will die a terrible death!"
As they spoke, a chilling aura emanated from him, and even though Lu Qingshan's soul was protected by True Treasure, he still felt a cold shiver.
This Purple Dou Kou's Innate Secret Technique can freeze the soul; it is incredibly powerful and even more terrifying than a Soul Master.
Talasha was surprised to see that the other party remained unfazed by her presence.
Then they heard the Human Race say something.
"Friends of the Dou Kou Race, my teacher, the Ganwu Country Lord, is a close friend of the Qing Dou Kou Venerable. I have come here on my teacher's orders to deliver a batch of supplies to the Venerable Qing Dou Kou."
"Hmm, the leader's friend's disciple has come to pay respects to the leader?"
The chill on Talasha's face dissipated slightly.
If Alien Race were to invade their Ice Prison Star, they would certainly die. But if it were a disciple of the leader's friend who came specifically to pay their respects to the leader, then it would be a completely different story.
"Wait here, I will contact the leader!"
Talasha glanced at Lu Qingshan and then contacted Qing Dou Kou Venerable in the Virtual Universe.
The Dou Kou Race also has a virtual world, but it's just a local area network that only allows communication within the Ice Prison Star Belt, facilitating contact between thousands of Dou Kou beings.
After all, creating a virtual world isn't difficult. Even the equipment obtained from the Immortal God and Alien Race that have invaded Ice Prison Star in recent years could easily be used to construct a virtual world.
Soon, Talasha looked at Lu Qingshan again and said, "Friend, what is your name? Our leader already knows about this, but he is busy right now. Please wait for me on my Ice Prison Star for a while."
"Just call me Qingshan."
Lu Qingshan smiled.
"Please."
Thank you.
Lu Qingshan followed Talasha to her larger version of the Ice Prison Star.
It would take Qing Dou Kou Venerable a while to arrive, so Talasha helped entertain Lu Qingshan, the guest.
Ice Prison Star is extremely cold, a world of ice everywhere. If an ordinary World Lord were to come here, he would be frozen into an ice sculpture without the Dou Kou even having to lift a finger.
On this vast Ice Prison Star, only at its very center stands a sprawling palace, where the Dou Kou of the Ice Prison Star primarily reside.
Talasha was a learned and top-tier expert of the Dou Kou Race, so the two Venerable arranged for her to teach some Dou Kou at the World Lord Level, hence the title "Teacher Talasha".
On her Ice Prison Star, the most numerous and easiest to encounter are World Lord Level Dou Kou.
The conversation between Lu Qingshan and Talasha made the young Dou Kou Race realize that the Human Race in front of them was the disciple of their leader's friend. They were somewhat disappointed that they hadn't seen their teacher, Talasha, make a move.
A group of young Dou Kou Race surrounded Lu Qingshan, curiously observing him.
It seems to be comparing the difference between living Human Race and ice sculptures.
Is your name Qingshan?
A beautiful, three-meter-tall girl from the Purple Dou Kou followed behind Lu Qingshan Lu Qingshan, stepping in his footprints, her eyes filled with curiosity.
"Yes."
Lu Qingshan looked at her.
"My name is Yawu. May I touch your hand?"
Yawu's bright, watery eyes were filled with curiosity.
" Yawu, he's a guest. Don't be disrespectful to him," a young Qing Dou Kou said somewhat displeasedly.
" Beifa, mind your own business. Qingshan hasn't refused, so why are you babbling on?"
Yawu glared fiercely at Qing Dou Kou, clearly displeased.
Then, adopting the curious look of a child, he asked, " Human Race, is that alright?"
"Alright."
Lu Qingshan did not refuse and extended his hand, showing some curiosity about the Dou Kou.
Purple Dou Kou Yawu grabbed Lu Qingshan's hand excitedly.
"It's warm, the Human Race's hands are warm."
She excitedly shared it with her companions.
The Dou Kou are the embodiment of ice and snow, representing extreme cold, which is the opposite of the Crimson Flame Beast that Lu Qingshan saw in the trial space. Yawu noticed that Lu Qingshan's hands were warm, unlike theirs, which is why she exclaimed in surprise.
This made Qing Dou Kou was standing to the side, green with envy.
Yawu, the one he's currently pursuing, Purple Dou Kou, never expected that before he could even hold hands with her, he would end up holding hands with a Human Race.
The Dou Kou cannot reproduce; they are all born naturally, regardless of gender. This applies to most Special Lifeform.
However, due to differences in physical characteristics, Qing Dou Kou generally also pursue Purple Dou Kou as their partners. However, the number of Purple Dou Kou is too small, which leads to fierce competition, and many Qing Dou Kou will fight each other because of this.
This girl named Yawu is considered to be exceptionally beautiful among the younger generation of the Purple Dou Kou.
" Human Race, I challenge you!"
Beifa, who just said she would respect her guests, couldn't hold back anymore!
"Oh no, Beifa's jealous."
"Haha, Beifa looks so cute when she's jealous."
" Beifa, Human Race are our leader's guests; you must show them respect!"
A group of young Dou Kou joked with him, and someone even repeated what Beifa had just said to him.
Yawu glanced at the furious Beifa and said with displeasure, " Beifa, you're too rude. You'll have no friends if you keep this up."
"I don't want Human Race as friends, I want to challenge them!" Beifa continued.
" Beifa, you guys go out and have some fun. Don't disturb the guests."
Talasha turned her head and said seriously.
"Yes, teacher."
The group left reluctantly, as Teacher Talasha still held considerable influence in their minds.
After all, teachers really will discipline those disobedient and troublesome Dou Kou.
After the group of young Dou Kou left, Talasha said apologetically, " Qingshan, don't take it to heart."
"It's alright. Those young Dou Kou are pure of heart; that's a rare and admirable quality."
Lu Qingshan didn't mind at all; on the contrary, he praised her.
" Qingshan, your magnanimity is truly admirable," Talasha continued. " The Venerable will arrive in a while; let me show you around Ice Prison Star."
"Good."
There's not much to see on Ice Prison Star; it's an extremely cold world, completely covered in ice and snow.
The number of Dou Kou Race was too small to support the vast resources of the Human Race.
Lu Qingshan's visit to the Dou Kou Race's palace was like an emperor visiting a beggar's house—there was nothing new or interesting about it.
Talasha seemed to realize this as well, so she brought Lu Qingshan to her Hall of Myriad Things.
" Qingshan, this is the Hall of Myriad Things. Inside are treasures I've collected. You can take a Hall of Myriad Things. Besides the Ice Prison Star Stone and the Ice Prison Green Dew, you can choose one or two other items to take with you..."
Talasha opened a room in the palace.
It was filled with countless treasures.
Some were weapons, some were strange metals, and some were things commonly seen in the outside world.
Looking at these messy and obviously disorganized things, Lu Qingshan knew that they were probably obtained from the Alien Race powerhouses who had previously broken into Ice Prison Star.
To the Dou Kou, these things were useless; they could only serve as decorations and exhibits...
Of course, not everything is worthless.
Those Ice Prison Star Stone and Ice Prison Green Dew Wine are priceless treasures.
Lu Qingshan had seen the Ice Prison Star Stone once before at a high-level auction. It was only the size of a fingernail, but it was worth two trillion Hunyuan Unit.
Even for Universe Venerable, this would be considered a valuable item.
However, these two items are extremely important to the Dou Kou, and they will not give them away easily. Talasha had previously reminded them that these two items were an exception.
Lu Qingshan wasn't interested in the Ice Prison Star Stone or the Ice Prison Green Dew, but he was very interested in another item.
His spiritual power swept across the entire Hall of Myriad Things.
Then his gaze fell on a Pingping Black Metal Plate. If his memory served him right, this should be the third metal plate that recorded the " Nine Tribulations Secret Manual ".
I never imagined that it would be left here by the Sitting Mountain Guest.
Lu Qingshan hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't resist the temptation. He picked up the metal plate and examined it.
The metal plate itself is an extremely precious treasure, but outsiders are completely unaware of its value.
If Lu Qingshan hadn't known beforehand, he would have just treated it as an ordinary piece of special metal.
"This contains the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, but... I have absolutely no way of detecting it..."
"This thing is mine..." Talasha was about to explain when she exclaimed in surprise, "The chief has arrived!"
Lu Qingshan calmly put the metal plate down, as if he had only glanced at it out of curiosity.
The Qing Dou Kou Venerable arrived at the exact moment I picked up the Black Metal Plate, which was clearly because he was genuinely worried that I would take it away.
After all, this was a task assigned by the Sitting Mountain Guest, so the two Dou Kou Venerable not be careless.
If they really lost this item and couldn't deliver it to the designated person, they were worried that they would offend the powerful figure Sitting Mountain Guest.
"Senior Qing Dou Kou Venerable has arrived, so let's hurry and pay our respects."
Lu Qingshan did not choose any treasures. He got up and walked towards the door. Soon, he met the legendary Qing Dou Kou Venerable in the palace hall of Talasha.
"Junior Lu Qingshan greets Senior Qing Dou Kou Venerable."
Lu Qingshan bowed.
"So you are Lu Qingshan, the newly accepted disciple of Ganwu. Not bad, not bad..." Qing Dou Kou Venerable glanced at Lu Qingshan with a slight smile on his face.
"Senior, my teacher asked me to entrust this World Ring to you."
Lu Qingshan took out the World Ring and presented it to Qing Dou Kou Venerable.
Qing Dou Kou Venerable put away the ring and nodded, saying, "Brother Ganwu truly kept his promise. The resources inside are plentiful, enough for our Dou Kou Race's little ones to use for hundreds of millions of years."
After saying that, he put away the ring and looked at Lu Qingshan, saying, " Lu Qingshan, this is our first meeting, and I'd like to give you a gift. Is there anything you need? Just tell me, even if it's just Ice Prison Star Stone, I can give you some."
