What gift would you like?
Lu Qingshan hadn't expected the Qing Dou Kou Venerable to be so direct, which made it difficult for him to speak.
If the things I want are too cheap, I'll lose money; if they're too expensive, it might displease the Venerable One.
However, Lu Qingshan quickly came up with a solution.
He bowed and said, "Thank you, Senior Qing Dou Kou Venerable Qingshan. I don't lack treasures for now, but I've been cultivating in the Initial Universe and lack experience. I've heard that Ice Prison Star Belt a huge Ice Prison that imprisons countless powerful figures from various races. Qingshan 'd like to go to that Ice Prison to train for a while. Would you be so kind as to grant my request, Senior?"
Asking for treasures is too vulgar.
Even if he asked, the Qing Dou Kou Venerable would only give him one True Treasure at most; he might as well go directly to the Ice Prison and get it himself.
Lu Qingshan knew that there were many True Treasure in that Ice Prison, and getting seven or eight of them wouldn't be a problem at all. The key was that a genius from the Sky Wolf Race in that Ice Prison had a Beast God Inheritance Token from Earth-Space. This thing was more valuable than most True Treasure, and it wasn't a system cashback; it could be bestowed again.
After some consideration, Lu Qingshan decided that if he wanted to maximize his profits, he might as well go to the Ice Prison.
This way, you'll gain the most and won't waste the teacher's favor.
Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Qing Dou Kou Venerable and Teacher Talasha, who was standing to the side, showed a hint of surprise.
" Qingshan, no!"
Talasha spoke.
" Qingshan, you may not know much about the leader's Ice Prison Ice Prison. The strongest beings imprisoned there are at least King Rank. Over countless eras, there have been over 12,000 King Rank experts from various races imprisoned there. But after countless years of fighting, less than 1,000 remain. These Alien Race experts are all exceptionally strong and ruthless... Even your Human Race's Peak King experts probably wouldn't survive long inside."
Qing Dou Kou Venerable nodded and said, "What Talasha said is all true. The Ice Prison is too dangerous for you. You are my old friend's disciple, and I don't want you to risk your life there. If you die inside, how can I explain it to Ganwu..."
"Why don't we ask the teacher? I think the teacher will agree."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Then he dialed the number of the Ganwu Country Lord.
" Qingshan, where are you? Have you delivered the supplies?"
The voice of the Ganwu Country Lord rang out.
Lu Qingshan inwardly complained, "My background is clearly from Ice Prison Star, how could my teacher not know that? He must be confused and that's why he's saying this on purpose!"
"Master, I am on Ice Prison Star, and Senior Qing Dou Kou Venerable is right beside me. I wish to go to Ice Prison Star for training, Qing Dou Kou Venerable is somewhat worried about my safety."
Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Ganwu understood the reason for the call and immediately said, " Qing Dou Kou, this isn't like you. Why are you always so hesitant and indecisive?"
"Heh, you Ganwu, I'm thinking of your disciple, and you not only don't appreciate it, but you're also blaming me first. What if your disciple dies in the Ice Prison?"
The Qing Dou Kou Venerable glared and puffed out his beard.
Ganwu chuckled, " Qing Dou Kou, you old codger, can't you say something nice? Let me put it this way, you old codger, you'd rather die in your own Ice Prison than my disciple would die there."
"You're so confident in him, aren't you afraid he'll die?"
Qing Dou Kou Venerable glanced at Lu Qingshan, somewhat surprised.
He remembered that the Ganwu Country Lord was not good at teaching disciples, and currently only had one disciple who Invincible King.
Lu Qingshan was only his youngest disciple. In the eyes of Qing Dou Kou Venerable, being able to be King Rank was already quite an achievement.
Could it be that I'm mistaken?
"I won't blame you even if you die!"
The voice of the Ganwu Country Lord rang out.
"Fine, since that's the case, I'll send him to the Ice Prison for training. I want to see what makes you so confident, old man!"
"Teacher, I'll leave now and we can talk again later."
Having achieved his goal, Lu Qingshan hung up the phone, worried that his teacher and Qing Dou Kou Venerable would get into an argument.
Having already spoken with the Ganwu Country Lord, Qing Dou Kou Venerable had no reason to refuse. He then took out a piece of Ice Prison Star Stone and said, "Although you requested to go to the Ice Prison for training, I will still give you this gift. Please accept this Ice Prison Star Stone... Although you may not need it, it can be exchanged for many good things in your Human Race Treasury."
Lu Qingshan was slightly startled as he looked at the fist-sized Ice Prison Star Stone.
In addition, at high-level auctions, a piece of Ice Prison Star Stone the size of a fingernail is worth two trillion Hunyuan Unit. A stone that big would probably be worth dozens of True Treasure Points.
This is a wonderful gift!
Lu Qingshan was once again impressed by the wisdom of his teacher Ganwu Country Lord. If his teacher hadn't sent him, how could he have obtained these benefits?
"Many thanks, Qing Dou Kou Venerable."
Lu Qingshan bowed respectfully before accepting the gift.
Qing Dou Kou Venerable nodded, then took out another token and said, "This is my communication token. If you want to leave the Ice Prison, crush this token. Or if you encounter insurmountable danger, you can crush this token and I will take you away. However, you only have one chance. Once you crush this token, you cannot enter the Ice Prison again."
Lu Qingshan expressed his gratitude once again.
It must be admitted that Qing Dou Kou Venerable's arrangement was perfect. He insisted on entering the Ice Prison, but the other party still gave him a life-saving token. Although it was because of his teacher, it also shows that Qing Dou Kou Venerable is a person who values loyalty and righteousness.
" Talasha, take him to the Ice Prison."
After handing the token to Lu Qingshan, Qing Dou Kou Venerable gave instructions.
"Yes, Qingshan, please follow me."
"Talasha said."
"Thank you." Lu Qingshan followed Talasha and left the Ice Prison Star through the passage.
The real Ice Prison is quite far from here; he and Talasha still need to travel a distance.
The two had just left.
Qing Dou Kou Venerable looked up at the sky, seemingly noticing something, and spoke with some surprise.
"Why are you here?"
As they were speaking, a woman with a perfect figure, dressed in a light purple gauze dress, appeared beside Qing Dou Kou Venerable. This person was the only two overlords of Ice Prison Star, and also the strongest of the Dou Kou Race, Venerable Zi Dou Kou!
"What, can't I come here?"
The Venerable Zi Dou Kou rolled his eyes at him.
"You were able to come, you were able to come, it was Talasha who told you, wasn't it?"
"I can't help it Qing Dou Kou Venerable said helplessly.
" Talasha, why would I tell you such a small thing? It's just that an old friend of mine bought some resources from the Human Race Hongmeng Alliance and had his disciple deliver them to me. Then that disciple said he was going to Ice Prison Star for training."
Venerable Zi Dou Kou raised his head. "No need for such talk. I'm not new here. I heard everything you said, and it wasn't Talasha who told me this."
"Didn't you just arrive?"
Qing Dou Kou Venerable was not surprised. After all, his old friend was much stronger than him and was good at hiding, so it was normal that he hadn't noticed him.
Venerable Zi Dou Kou glanced at the Hall of Myriad Things and explained, "I left a trace of my Spiritual Imprint on the metal plate left by the Sitting Mountain Guest. I noticed that the black metal block had moved slightly, so I came to check..."
"You, didn't that Sitting Mountain Guest say he'd leave the metal block here for others to steal? If it was stolen, we'd pretend we knew nothing about it; if not, we'd throw it into the Ice Prison. Why did you leave Spiritual Imprint? Isn't that cheating?"
Qing Dou Kou Venerable was somewhat anxious.
"What's wrong? Is it not okay? I like it."
Venerable Zi Dou Kou snorted, like a spoiled woman.
Qing Dou Kou Venerable said helplessly, "Even our Ancestral God Religion doesn't want to provoke that Sitting Mountain Guest, let alone you and me. Besides, he has given us enough rewards, so why should we interfere with his arrangements?"
"Hmph, I was just satisfying my curiosity, what's the problem? I didn't say I had to interfere."
"I am not bothered at all," said Venerable Zi Dou Kou.
"However, your friend, the disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, is no ordinary person."
"Not simple? What's so simple about it?" Qing Dou Kou Venerable asked with some surprise.
"That genius named Lu Qingshan is merely a World Lord Level."
A hint of interest flashed in Venerable Zi Dou Kou's eyes.
" World Lord, no way..." Qing Dou Kou Venerable was somewhat bewildered. He had originally thought Lu Qingshan was King-level Immortal, but his old buddy was saying he was World Lord?
Why would World Lord go to the Ice Prison? Isn't that just suicide?
"That's right. Although he hid it well, using his Heavy Treasure Armor and the plant life on his body to conceal his aura, don't forget my special talent. I can clearly sense that he has a human soul, which means that he doesn't have a perfect combination of body and soul, and is not a body of law of Immortal God."
The Venerable Zi Dou Kou tilted his head, tidying up his long purple braids.
"No, I have to go check on him. Although that old bastard Ganwu doesn't care about the life or death of his disciple, I can't let him really die in the Ice Prison."
Qing Dou Kou Venerable was somewhat anxious.
If Lu Qingshan were King-level Immortal, he might still have a chance to ask for help. But if he is just a World Lord, any powerful expert could easily kill him once he enters the Ice Prison.
World Lord!
What a weak level.
Even with True Treasure, what good would it do?
Even the World Lord of the Special Lifeform Dou Kou Race, would face certain death if he entered that Ice Prison!
Beyond a massive planet deep within the Ice Prison Star Belt.
Teacher Talasha reminded him again, " Qingshan, you still have a chance to regret it."
"No! Talasha, thank you for reminding me, but this is my choice."
Lu Qingshan's tone was firm.
"Alright, hopefully you can use the distress token the leader gave you."
Talasha stopped trying to persuade her.
With a wave of her hand, a passage appeared on Ice Prison Star. Without saying a word, Lu Qingshan went straight inside after the passage opened.
Moments later, they landed in an Endless world of ice and snow.
Is this the Ice Prison?
Not bad, not bad...
Lu Qingshan walked forward step by step, his footprints in the snow announcing his arrival.
