"Teacher, is this armor True Treasure?"

Kakaro looked at the armor on the Snow Demon Venerable's hands, a glint of desire flashing in his eyes.

Despite being a disciple of the Snow Demon Venerable Snow Demon Venerable, he wasn't the only one. Currently, he only possessed one powerful weapon-type True Treasure.

"That's right, it's True Treasure, and a very high-quality True Treasure!" Snow Demon Venerable nodded.

"This Heavy Treasure Armor is extremely valuable?" Kakaro was astonished, not expecting his teacher to be so cautious.

"This armor is worth about ten times more than the ransom paid to get you back from Ice Prison Star."

After speaking, the Snow Demon Venerable ignored Kakaro and turned to Cloud-Touching Vine, saying, "Is your master sure he wants to exchange this Heavy Treasure Armor for the Snow Demon Flower King?"

"That's right!"

Cloud-Touching Vine stated confidently, "My master intends to exchange this armor for three Snow Demon Flower King."

Cloud-Touching Vine did not forget the value her master had mentioned about this armor before she left.

Although the owner said that he only needed to exchange for one flower at most, he still tried his best to maximize his benefits.

"Three Snow Demon Flower King —it seems your master is also aware of the value of the Snow Demon Flower King. This True Treasure is indeed worth about the same as three Snow Demon Flower King— "

The Snow Demon Venerable frowned slightly, looking somewhat troubled. "Although our Snow Demon Race has Snow Demon Flower King in stock, no new Snow Demon Flower King have been born for quite some time now. We only have two Snow Demon Flower King in stock. You can ask your master if the rest can be offset with Snow Demon Flower?"

"Okay, I'll ask."

Although Cloud-Touching Vine was very excited, it did not show it. Instead, it pretended to enter the Virtual Universe and communicate with its master.

After a long pause, he said with a troubled expression, "My master has agreed to your request."

"Very well, I'll accept this armor. I'll give your master two Snow Demon Flower King, and the rest will be offset by 108 Snow Demon Flower and other treasures. This is all that my Snow Demon Race has."

"This is enough for my master to use for a long time."

"Please wait here a moment, I will fetch what you need."

The Snow Demon Venerable kept his word. After Teleportation away, he returned only a moment later and tossed a World Ring to Cloud-Touching Vine.

Cloud-Touching Vine checked and found that there were indeed 108 Snow Demon Flower, as well as two flowers that were larger than the Snow Demon Flower, with petals as crystal clear as ice and snow, and with traces of bloodstains. These should be the Snow Demon Flower King that the master mentioned.

After completing the inspection, Cloud-Touching Vine bowed to the Snow Demon Venerable and then Teleportation away.

After leaving the Snow Demon Secret Region, Cloud-Touching Vine Teng used the Divine Kingdom Teleportation to return to the vicinity of the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters continent. He then transited through this area again before arriving at the location designated by Lu Qingshan.

Then a Divine Kingdom Passage opened up, and Cloud-Touching Vine went straight in without saying a word.

Cloud-Touching Vine was very cautious, using the Virtual Universe Company Headquarters continent as a transit point. This way, even if the Snow Demon Venerable used tracking methods he didn't know about, he wouldn't dare to catch up, and he wouldn't have to worry about exposing his master's location.

Of course, that's completely overthinking it.

The Snow Demon Venerable had no intention of catching up, nor did he have the audacity to ambush and kill a Human Race genius in Human Territory.

The fact that a Human Race genius could produce a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor speaks volumes about his background. The Snow Demon Venerable was extremely wary of the powerful and protective Human Race.

In the Snow Demon Secret Region, a world of ice and snow, Kakaro finally understood the value of this armor.

The finest of the top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor, enough to buy hundreds of pieces, is comparable to his True Treasure weapon.

"I knew that Human Race was no ordinary person, but I didn't expect them to be able to casually take out such a precious treasure, and to only send a plant life form to trade with us. It seems they trust us far too much."

"It's not about trust, but about confidence and assurance."

A hint of caution flashed in the Snow Demon Venerable's eyes.

"Although this armor is extremely precious, and even I can use it, it shouldn't be considered indispensable by that Human Race, otherwise he wouldn't have been so hasty. He had the Cloud-Touching Vine bring it to us for trade, as if it were a child holding gold."

If we were to succumb to greed and keep this treasure, a disaster would likely befall our Snow Demon Race.

"How could this be?" Kakaro was shocked. "Back when we met that Human Race on Ice Prison Star, he was just an Invincible King."

"Clearly, this top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor is not Invincible King could produce. Although the Human Race is relatively wealthy, probably only High Venerable can all possess a top-tier Heavy Treasure Armor! And it's not something they can just casually trade."

"That Human Race needs so many Snow Demon Flower, and this time he's exchanged away the two Snow Demon Flower King that our Snow Demon Race only has left. I'm afraid he's going to create some amazing secret technique! Kakaro, that Human Race did save you once after all. Maintaining a good relationship with him might be extremely important for you, and even for our Snow Demon Race, in the future."

The Snow Demon Venerable reminded him.

"Master, I understand." Kakaro nodded, realizing once again how terrifying that Human Race.

"Sigh!" The Snow Demon Venerable sighed, then continued, "This time we delivered all 108 newly ripened Snow Demon Flower to that Human Race, and many of our old customers are canceling their appointments. We have to explain to each of them."

The teacher would just make up an excuse. "At worst, we'll make it up to them next time."

"This is the only way!"

As they spoke, the two avatars of ice and snow slowly melted away and disappeared completely.

Within the Human Territory, in the Divine Kingdom Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan walked out of the Time House.

This time, it took him about fifty years to Creation Secret Technique in the Time House. However, according to the calculation of 50 times Time Acceleration, only one year has passed in the outside world.

Of course, the ability to Creation Secret Technique so quickly is due to the miraculous effects of the Seven-Colored Heart-Enlightenment Lotus. Otherwise, let alone Universe Venerable, even Ordinary Immortal would have to calculate the time for Creation Secret Technique in epochs.

After listening to Cloud-Touching Vine recount the entire transaction, Lu Qingshan smiled and said, " Cloud-Touching Vine, you did a good job this time."

"Serving my master is Moyun's duty," Cloud-Touching Vine replied respectfully.

"Don't worry, you won't be treated unfairly if you work for me." Lu Qingshan tossed over a World Ring containing some spoils he had obtained in the Guixu Secret Realm, including the Guixu Soul Fruit, which also had some effect on the evolution of the Cloud-Touching Vine.

However, the 360 vines of the Cloud-Touching Vine are already in a perfect state. Further improvement can only reach the limit at the Immortal stage.

After reaching the limit, his Law Comprehension, combined with his enormous divine body, made his strength comparable to the Pinnacle King Rank!

Very few True Treasure are suitable for the life of a plant like the Cloud-Touching Vine. If Lu Qingshan could prepare one or two for the Cloud-Touching Vine, his strength would be close to that of Invincible King.

As for the Body Amplitude Secret Technique, the Cloud-Touching Vine cannot cultivate it. Plant life itself does not have this talent and ability. It relies on constantly consuming resources and then being fed by the Primal Universe.

Approaching the Invincible King is basically the limit.

There are plant life forms at the Universe Venerable level, but they are basically all born with Special Lifeform, while those like the Cloud-Touching Vine and Star-Eating Grass are unlikely to achieve this. Their inherent defects prevent them from comprehending the Space-Time Law no matter how they are cultivated.

Of course, it's not to say that it's completely impossible, but it's almost impossible in the Primal Universe, or even in the Universe Ocean.

Even Luo Feng completely gave up on cultivating them in the later stages, but for Lu Qingshan, who has the ability of a cheat code, there may still be a chance to cultivate the Three-Hundred-and-Sixty-Vine Cloud-Touching Vine and the Thousand-Vine Star-Eating Grass into the Universe Venerable level.

After all, the cashback from the cheat system is illogical and has no upper limit; it's not like he hasn't done things that violate the rules of the Primal Universe.

Lu Qingshan examined the treasures that Cloud-Touching Vine had brought back.

Two Snow Demon Flower King and 108 Snow Demon Flower —this has probably emptied the Snow Demon Race's reserves of countless years.

--

Especially the Snow Demon Flower King, the Snow Demon Flower may not appear even once after hundreds of ripenings, it is extremely rare and precious - there will definitely be no chance to obtain it next time, and such a treasure is extremely rare, with very few substitutes.

It seems we need to make good use of these two Snow Demon Flower King.

After a moment's thought, Lu Qingshan made a decision: he would give one flower to Venerable Zhen Yan and the other to Ling Yu.

certainly.

The Snow Demon Flower King is a treasure unlike the Snow Demon Flower. It is an auxiliary treasure used by Universe Venerable, and the standards for bestowing it are also higher than those for the Snow Demon Flower. At least one needs to be at the Peak King to obtain it.

Venerable Zhen Yan can certainly bestow it—that way, I can obtain a treasure for my own use first.

That should be enough to create secret techniques at the level of Universe Overlord.

Next, wait for Ling Yu to break through to Immortal. With Ling Yu's Law Comprehension, once she breaks through, she will inevitably reach the peak of King Rank. Give her another Snow Demon Flower King to obtain a ten-thousand-fold return. Perhaps there will be an opportunity to create a secret technique at the level of Universe Master.

There are probably only two Snow Demon Flower King, so Lu Qingshan must use them with extreme caution. As for the Snow Demon Flower, it doesn't matter; 108 Snow Demon Flower are enough for him to use for a long time.

Giving each disciple one or two flowers wouldn't be a problem; perhaps we could try giving Ling Yu one Snow Demon Flower first.

After making his decision, Lu Qingshan looked up at the World Tree Clone, which was still Ice Peak, then put away the Time House and left the Divine Kingdom in one step.

Then he directly used the Cloud-Touching Vine Divine Kingdom Teleportation to a remote star field in the Ganwu Universe Country. After waiting there for half a day, a figure Teleportation over.

It was none other than the Venerable Zhen Yan Zhenyan, whose face was covered in golden down.

"Teacher----"

Venerable Zhen Yan said somewhat apologetically, "I've kept you waiting, Master. I didn't have the divine coordinates of the Ganwu Universe Country, so I had my disciple, the Bloodthirsty King, bring me here. His coordinates are located at the border between the Ganwu Universe Country and the Golden Billow Universe Country. It took me quite a while to get here."

"It's nothing, it's only been half a day."

Lu Qingshan waved his hand.

Venerable Zhen Yan continued, "I inquired about the matter my teacher asked me to investigate through Venerable Niu Zhou of the Hongmeng Alliance. He said he would help with the investigation, but there's no news yet."

"I called you here today not for this matter." Lu Qingshan shook his head, then asked, " Zhen Yan, how is your creation of secret techniques progressing?"

"Teacher, I have just become Universe Venerable. My current secret techniques are still those I learned when I was crowned a King Rank, and they are only at the peak of the Immortal Peak Secret Technique level. I plan to create an Immortal attack secret technique first, and then try to create a secret technique at the Universe Venerable level."

Venerable Zhen Yan originally thought his teacher was asking about the Alien Race Universe Venerable assassin from not long ago, but unexpectedly he was asking about the level of his secret technique.

He has just broken through to the Universe Venerable level, and his secret techniques are no different from when King Rank.

Only a very few people can create the Ultimate Secret Technique at the Immortal stage. No one in the entire Hongmeng Alliance has been able to do King Rank, and naturally, even True Yan King cannot.

" Zhen Yan, I have just acquired a treasure that will greatly help in Creation Secret Technique. I can give you one to try."

Lu Qingshan took out one of the Snow Demon Flower King from the World Ring.

" Snow Demon Flower!"

Venerable Zhen Yan glanced at the treasure his teacher had taken out and said in surprise.

He naturally knew about the Snow Demon Flower; with his authority as King Rank, he could easily access that information.

He also knew that his junior brother Yi Yun, was able to become King-level Immortal God so quickly thanks to the Snow Demon Flower.

" Zhen Yan, take a closer look before you speak."

Lu Qingshan smiled.

"Ah, is this not right?" Venerable Zhen Yan was taken aback, then observed carefully and discovered that the ice crystal-like flower his teacher had taken out seemed quite different from the Snow Demon Flower he knew. It appeared to be about half the size larger, and had blood-like veins on it. What was this?

After becoming Universe Venerable, his authority naturally increased significantly. A quick search of the treasure vault based on its appearance revealed the truth. He exclaimed in surprise, "Teacher, this is the Snow Demon Flower King!"

"That's right, take it. With your accumulated knowledge and this Snow Demon Flower King, you should be able to create the secret technique as soon as possible."

Lu Qingshan casually tossed it over, and Venerable Zhen Yan quickly caught it.

Such a precious treasure would be a great loss if it were accidentally dropped or soiled.

He was about to say that such a treasure should also be useful to his teacher, but remembering what his teacher had reminded him of earlier, he held back his words, bowed, and said, "Thank you for your generous gift, teacher."

"Well, I'll be stationed in the Ganwu Universe Country for a while. You can tell the Bloodthirsty King he's free to leave. I've already transferred double the reward to him."

I will relay this to Bloodthirsty.

Venerable Zhen Yan nodded repeatedly.

"Um."

After giving this last sentence, Lu Qingshan didn't say anything more and simply Teleportation away.

Venerable Zhen Yan did not rush to leave. He watched his teacher leave for a long time before examining the Snow Demon Flower King in his hand.

This is a cultivation aid that is comparable in value to Top-Tier Heavy Treasure.

The key issue is still disposable items.

It's easy to imagine how precious it is.

This item isn't even in the Human Race Treasury; it must be a non-sale item of the Snow Demon Race. I never expected my teacher to be able to obtain it and even bestow it upon me.

The teacher is so generous!
