The Ganwu Country Lord did not keep Lu Qingshan waiting for long.
In less than half a day, we arrived at the gate of Qingshan Residence.
"Teacher, you're too fast."
Upon hearing the news, Lu Qingshan personally came to the door to greet him.
"Isn't speed a good thing?" The Ganwu Country Lord followed him inside, looking around at the scenery.
" Qingshan, your little courtyard is nice, but it's a bit small. With your current abilities, applying for a larger place shouldn't be a problem."
"No rush... It's just right for now. I'll apply again when I feel it's not enough..."
The two walked to the hall.
Lu Qingshan took out the prepared food and wine.
" Qingshan... didn't you say drinking leads to trouble? Why are you still drinking? What principle have you figured out?"
The Ganwu Country Lord asked curiously.
" The Law of Lightning."
Lu Qingshan smiled, poured a full cup of wine for the Ganwu Country Lord, and then said, "Master, I have called you here today to discuss something."
As he spoke, he took out a large piece of Ice Prison Star Stone.
"This is a return gift from Qing Dou Kou Venerable to our teacher."
Lu Qingshan pushed the Ice Prison Star Stone toward the Ganwu Country Lord.
This small piece of Ice Prison Star Stone is worth dozens of True Treasure Points, which is a considerable income for the Ganwu Country Lord.
If some Venerable is pressing for payment, giving this to them can at least alleviate the pressure.
"That old guy is quite generous."
The Ganwu Country Lord looked at the Ice Prison Star Stone and shook his head, saying, " Qingshan, since it's a gift from Qing Dou Kou Venerable Qing Dou Kou Venerable, you should accept it. He didn't take back the gift I gave to his disciple back then."
"It's different." Lu Qingshan shook his head. "If it were when you were generous, Master, I would naturally accept it gladly. But you are struggling now, so how could I accept this gift? Don't worry, Master, I have gained a lot this time."
" Qingshan... Sigh, since you put it that way, I'll accept it."
The Ganwu Country Lord is indeed facing some difficulties.
Only after Lu Qingshan insisted were they able to take the Ice Prison Star Stone back.
" Qingshan, do you know what the Ice Prison Star Stone is used for?"
The Ganwu Country Lord asked.
"This disciple does not know, but I saw it once at a high-end auction; it was quite valuable."
Lu Qingshan recalled the scene from the auction he had attended before.
When he was on Ice Prison Star, he had Nasus search for the Ice Prison Star Ice Prison Star Stone, but it couldn't be found. Clearly, the Virtual Universe Company blocks such resources from geniuses.
The Ganwu Country Lord said, "Only the Purple Dou Kou at the Immortal God realm can create Ice Prison Star Stone, and even then, they can only accumulate a tiny amount over countless years. Such a large piece of Ice Prison Star Stone is likely the accumulated stock of the Dou Kou Race for who knows how many years. Even a tiny bit of this, if integrated into the divine body, can serve as a treasure to resist Soul Attack. It's not True Treasure, but it's still extremely valuable... Once integrated into this Ice Prison Star Stone, any Soul Attack that enters the divine body will feel as if the soul is frozen, potentially resulting in a net loss instead of a gain..."
"No wonder it's so precious..." Lu Qingshan was astonished. Soul Defense True Treasure are usually extremely valuable among True Treasure. Although this Ice Prison Star Stone is not as valuable as True Treasure, it has the ability to resist Soul Attack. Its effect is too incredible.
The Ganwu Country Lord continued, "Small quantities of Ice Prison Star Stone are generally used in combination. Larger quantities, like this one you have, can be combined with other materials to forge a Soul Defense True Treasure... Although it's only a portion of the materials, if someone urgently needs it, they'll probably pay a premium. Qingshan, now that you know the uses and price of this Ice Prison Star Stone, do you regret it?"
"Haha, what's there to regret? This thing is of no use to me anyway."
Lu Qingshan smiled and then asked, "What about the Ice Prison Clear Dew?"
"Only Qingou Kou, Immortal God- level Qing Dou Kou, can create Ice Prison Clear Dew. It's not a material for refining True Treasure, but it's an extremely precious material for assisting in the cultivation of Body Amplitude Secret Technique. Its value is slightly lower than Ice Prison Star Stone, but it's still very expensive."
"Ganwu Country Lord said."
"Oh, I see."
A hint of eagerness flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.
I wonder if this Ice Prison Clear Dew will be helpful for my cultivation of the Fifth Layer the Body of Time?
Even without the cashback, the treasures you receive will definitely be helpful.
Lu Qingshan kept this in mind, and thought he might have to go to Ice Prison Star again in the future to exchange for some Ice Prison Clear Dew.
"Teacher... the main reason I called you to the Initial Universe this time is to ask for your help in exchanging for the qualification to possess a Special Lifeform form at the World Lord Level."
Lu Qingshan said slowly.
"Hmm?" The Ganwu Country Lord was slightly surprised. " Qingshan, your genetic Gene Multiplier shouldn't be much worse than some Special Lifeform, right? Possession carries risks, and besides, even if you succeed, your cultivation talent might not improve."
"Teacher, what are you thinking? I just want to give my only son, Lu Lingxiao, a chance. His aptitude is too average; even breaking through to the Immortal God is extremely difficult for him. I want to buy a spot so he can possess another body. This way, his chances of breaking through to Immortal in the future will greatly increase, and countless epochs later, he will have a family member by my side."
Lu Qingshan began to explain.
"This..." The Ganwu Country Lord frowned slightly. " Qingshan, I know your son's talent. It's similar to my seventh son's. Even without precious resources for possession, he still has a chance to break through. After all, there are many treasures that can assist in cultivation, and their value is worlds apart from possessing Special Lifeform... That qualification is too precious. You should save your current resources to improve your own strength."
"Teacher, is this True Treasure enough?"
Lu Qingshan took out the Purple Bell.
The Ganwu Country Lord examined it and shook his head, saying, "I cannot judge the exact value of your True Treasure, but I estimate it's not enough. There are very few remaining opportunities for possession among Human Race; they are generally reserved for peerless geniuses. If you buy it for yourself, you might get a discount, but if you buy it for your son, you'll have to pay the original price without a discount, and you might even have to pay a premium. Moreover, there aren't many opportunities left, and the price varies greatly for each item."
The Ganwu Country Lord actually wanted to persuade his disciple to give up.
Valuing family ties is a good thing, but focusing too much on them can be detrimental. It can become a weakness and hinder one's cultivation progress.
not enough?
Lu Qingshan was already prepared. He took out a hexagonal metal plaque and asked, "Teacher, what about this?"
"This is..." The Ganwu Country Lord suddenly stood up, staring in astonishment at the metal plaque.
" The Gold-Space Beast God Inheritance Token —that Sky Wolf of the Demon Race said it's comparable to Supreme Treasure. I'm not entirely sure of its value, but it's definitely much more precious True Treasure."
Lu Qingshan recounted in detail how he obtained the Beast God Inheritance Token in the Ice Prison.
Of course, he replaced the Earth-Space Beast God Inheritance Token he obtained with the Gold-Space Beast God Inheritance Token in front of him.
As long as that Sky Wolf doesn't die and come back to life, there's no way to find out the truth. Even if it were lucky enough to be resurrected, Human Race wouldn't believe it if it were just a Demon Race.
Besides, no matter how many there are, they are all gains for him. With the Chaos City Lord and his teacher protecting him, there is absolutely no need to worry.
The Ganwu Country Lord picked up the Inheritance Token and examined it carefully. He probed into it with his consciousness before confirming that the token was real.
He exclaimed, " Qingshan, your luck is incredible! I'm afraid even Qing Dou Kou Venerable doesn't know that the Sky Wolf is hiding this thing, otherwise he would have already stolen it. This thing is incredibly valuable... more than enough to exchange for another body-possessing opportunity. But are you really willing to do that?"
"Master, what use is this Inheritance Token to me who walks the Path of Time and Space? Even if I sell it to the clan, I won't suffer any loss."
"But you want to exchange for that Special Lifeform possession opportunity... Fine, it's your chance anyway, I'll go check it out for you."
Lu Qingshan lacked the necessary permissions, but the Ganwu Country Lord could easily access this information.
The Ganwu Country Lord quickly completed the investigation.
"Your son specializes in the Metal Law. I took a look; in the Race Treasury, there are six metal-element Special Lifeform forms that can be possessed by World Lord Level. I've sent them all to you. Take a look, and then destroy them..."
"Yes, teacher."
Lu Qingshan quickly entered the Virtual Universe to take a look.
" The Void Gold-Devouring Beast?"
With a 70-fold Gene Multiplier, growth requires the consumption of large amounts of metal.
This is acceptable. The Gene Multiplier meets the standard, and absorbing metal is also easy; it just consumes some resources.
However, it looked rather pathetic. This Void Gold-Devouring Beast was completely like a wild beast, with four hooves and golden scales on its back.
Lu Qingshan's ideal life form was actually the Dou Kou Race, at least in human form. After all, the Human Race itself is full of strange and wonderful creatures, and if it doesn't even resemble humans, it would be too ugly.
He continued reading.
" Net Gold Giant Python."
This thing is even more creepy; it's practically like Demon Race.
Lu Qingshan first ruled out appearance.
His own One-Horned Ghost King was ugly enough, but at least it had hands and feet, so it could barely be considered human. That was fine for a Clone, but Lu Lingxiao wanted to possess it himself, which was equivalent to completely changing his body.
Star Ant Queen?
???
Lu Qingshan glanced at them and found that most of them were not suitable, but the last one brought him some surprises.
" The Illusory Gold Spirit... its body is composed of shimmering golden liquid, capable of changing shape at will... its Innate Secret Technique Clone Technique... allows it to create Clone similar to those of the Snow Demon Race."
"This is good!"
Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up slightly.
This Illusory Gold Spirit has no form, but it can take any form; maintaining a human form is naturally not a problem at all.
Like a liquid metal robot, it can change its appearance at will. After Lu Lingxiao possessed it, it could even maintain its current appearance.
This thing's Gene Multiplier isn't high, only 50 times, but its survival ability is extremely strong. When going out to explore, it can use the Clone Technique to create Clone to detect dangers. As long as it's not directly killed by the soul, even if the original body is destroyed, any Clone can regenerate.
With this item, and just one more Soul Defense True Treasure, it's almost impossible to be killed by someone of the same level.
"This is it!"
After Lu Qingshan finished making his selection, he informed the Ganwu Country Lord.
" Qingshan, this Illusory Gold Spirit is quite good... but it's not cheap, it costs 1400 True Treasure Points, which is roughly equivalent to half the value of your Beast God Inheritance Token."
The Ganwu Country Lord still felt some regret.
"Teacher, please help me exchange it." Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, then said, "I remember that Senior Brother Dragon Whale King seems to be following the Path of the Beast God?"
"Yes, he follows the Water-Space Fusion Law."
The Ganwu Country Lord nodded.
Lu Qingshan asked, "Teacher, if I don't take back the remaining half of the value, could I give this spot to Senior Brother Dragon Whale King?"
" Qingshan... how could you have such a thought? Even if this Inheritance Token is only half its value..."
The Ganwu Country Lord was shocked.
"Teacher, back in the Ganwu Mystic Region, you told me that you originally planned for my second senior brother to make this trip." Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "In a way, I'm taking advantage of my second senior brother's opportunity. Besides, he's treated me well all these years, so let's see if we can give him the chance. If he breaks through to the Universe Venerable Realm, our Ganwu Sect will have a second Venerable!"
" Qingshan, you..." The Ganwu Country Lord was stunned.
My disciple is too sentimental.
He didn't know what to say.
Finally, he sighed, "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, then let's just forget about it..."
