The Glory World, a gathering place for Special Lifeform.

Lu Qingshan, dressed in a blood-red robe, strode over, and the Special Lifeform all stood up to greet him.

" Venerable Xue You, it's been a long time."

" Venerable Xue You!"

" Xue You ----"

Although Lu Qingshan remained expressionless, he responded to every Special Lifeform who greeted him.

" Xue You, you're terrifying! We haven't seen you for two eras, and you've already killed three Universe Venerable of the Demon Race the moment you appeared! That's outrageous!"

Upon receiving the news, the Dark Nether King immediately arrived in the Glory World.

" Xue You, I heard you became the disciple of the Old Ancestral God Ancestral God. Congratulations." Flora's clear eyes flashed with curiosity and admiration.

Purple Fire Ape, Crimson Flame Beast, Glacier Giant —one after another, these Special Lifeform surrounded Xue You, clearly making him their core.

Their Special Lifeform team is led by Purple Rain Venerable, but Purple Rain Venerable is not often seen; usually, Bug Chasing King manages them on his behalf.

The Bug Chasing King mediates conflicts and helps everyone integrate resources, such as exchanging Glory Points, thus playing the role of a team leader.

Now that Xue You has become a disciple of the Ancestral God and has also killed three Universe Venerable, his status in the hearts of these Special Lifeform is almost on the same level as that of Purple Rain Venerable.

"It's been a long time, everyone. I've been wanted by the Demon Race for years, and I've been focusing on cultivation. I only recently broke through to become Universe Venerable."

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Then you must drink a few more cups today, Xue You; it's been a long time since we've all gathered together," Dark Nether King said with a smile.

"No problem, but before that, I'd like to make a deal with everyone." Lu Qingshan's gaze swept over everyone before he slowly spoke.

What transaction?

"Dark Nether King asked curiously."

Other Special Lifeform also showed interest upon hearing this.

Xue You is Universe Venerable and a disciple of the Ancestral God. What could he possibly want from them?

"Does Xue You still need Ice Prison Clear Dew?" Flora asked while adjusting her braids.

" Purple Fire Ape Wine, I have plenty here," said the Purple Fire Ape, patting its chest.

"None of those."

Lu Qingshan shook his head slightly and said, "This time I killed three Universe Venerable the Demon Race and obtained quite a few True Treasure. I'd like to exchange some with everyone. Your World Lord Level biological materials, no matter who they are, as long as they are Special Lifeform in our team, will be worth at least one Ordinary Heavy Treasure weapon worth one True Treasure Points. If the Gene Multiplier is high, the price I'll pay will be even higher. What do you all think?"

Unless they're completely stupid, Special Lifeform will retain a lot of biological materials at the World Lord Level, which they will sell in the future. This will be their first pot of Special Lifeform after becoming Immortal.

The Primal Universe had no rules or secrets regarding cause and effect, curses, or similar concepts, so there was basically no need to worry about these things.

Therefore, when Lu Qingshan made this request, no one was surprised. In their minds, biological materials were commodities meant to be sold.

" Xue You, what do you need this thing for? Do you have the ability to Clone?"

"Dark Nether King asked in surprise."

" Dark Nether, this might be Xue You's secret. Don't pry. Even if you can create an Clone, you wouldn't need so many life materials! Besides, Xue You is already Universe Venerable!"

Flora spoke up.

"You rascal, I was just asking, Xue You hasn't even said anything yet, and you're already defending him." Dark Nether King shook his head and said helplessly.

Flora ignored him and was the first to step forward, saying, " Xue You, I can make a deal with you."

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan nodded and said, " Purple Kou's life gene is a hundred times stronger, which can be exchanged for a True Treasure weapon worth True Treasure Points, or thirty Glory Points will also work."

" Glory Points, please. I don't need any more True Treasure for now."

Flora said.

"No problem."

Both agreed readily, and the transaction was completed.

"As for me—although our Shadow Clan doesn't have a high Gene Multiplier, we possess unique abilities." The Dark Nether King quickly added, knowing that helping Xue You would also benefit him, and he wasn't willing to miss this opportunity.

"Two True Treasure Points, or twenty Glory Points."

Xue You said with a smile.

"Haha, Xue You is truly generous. In exchange, I want True Treasure." Dark Nether King beamed with joy.

" Xue You, count me in, let me get a piece of the action too," the massive Glacier Giant said in a muffled voice.

"100 times the genetic potential, a powerful divine body, and like Flora, three True Treasure Points."

Lu Qingshan then made a quote.

" Glacier King, you've struck gold! With a body as big as yours, how much biological material would World Lord Level leave behind?" The Crimson Flame Beast said enviously, spitting out a ball of flame.

"You're not young either, but such a good thing is hard to come by normally. Others aren't as generous as Xue You."

"Glacier Giant said in a muffled voice.

With someone's encouragement, one by one, these Special Lifeform reached an agreement with Lu Qingshan to make a deal.

Although Lu Qingshan took the initiative to ask to trade with them, the price he offered was very high. For these Special Lifeform, it wasn't that they were helping Lu Qingshan, but rather that Lu Qingshan was deliberately giving them benefits.

It's more like the strong, skilled members of the team are providing assistance to those who are less capable.

As for what Lu Qingshan wanted these biological data for, after Flora interrupted him earlier, no one asked any further questions.

After all, it would be somewhat abrupt to ask this question unless you're a very close friend.

After the deal was struck, in reality, Lu Qingshan went to collect the goods one by one, but in the Glory World, everyone was still drinking and having fun together.

" Xue You — Purple Rain Venerable instructed me last time to send him a message when you came over. I've already told him, and Purple Rain Venerable should be here soon. Purple Rain Venerable is a unique Special Lifeform in the universe, rumored to have a divine body even more extraordinary than the Bug Chasing King. If you need these biological materials to research any secret techniques, you can ask Purple Rain Venerable."

The Dark Nether King whispered a reminder.

Lu Qingshan downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, nodded slightly, and knew he would definitely not miss the opportunity to exchange for the biological materials from Purple Rain Venerable and the Bug Chasing King.

Their genetic material is extremely valuable, in no way inferior to that of the World Tree.

Just think about how much Luo Feng paid for the World Tree genetic material, and you'll know how precious it is.

Such Special Lifeform, especially those backed by a powerful force like the Ancestral God Religion, are extremely difficult for even ordinary Universe Master to acquire.

Lu Qingshan cultivates " Life Analysis " to study the Life Origin in all things.

The greatest advantage of the Xue You Clone is that it knows a large group of Special Lifeform as friends.

Furthermore, he could exchange for or plunder materials from countless powerful Special Lifeform forms within the Ancestral God Secret Realm.

In the Primal Universe, the life genes of these Special Lifeform were the most perfect, through the cultivation of " Life Analysis ".

Studying these Special Lifeform is definitely unavoidable.

As for the genes of ordinary life forms, they were easy to collect. Lu Qingshan went to the Prison Race and collected a large amount. He also ordered his Soul Slave, the Blood Demon King, to search for them in secret.

The Blood Demon King has hundreds of Immortal God under his command, all of whom are Soul Slave. They are safe and reliable, and they secretly collect the genes of ordinary life forms for him, which is enough to support his initial cultivation.

With the addition of genetic materials from these Special Lifeform, the Xue You Clone can officially begin cultivating the secret technique of Life Analysis.

Purple Rain Venerable did not keep Lu Qingshan waiting for long; soon after, he and Bug Chasing King arrived together.

The Dark Nether King and the Crimson Flame Beast stood up and made way for him.

Have the two of them sit next to Lu Qingshan.

" Venerable Xue You —this is our first meeting, isn't it?"

" Purple Rain Venerable."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

The Purple Rain Venerable looked like a human child, which gave Lu Qingshan a sense of familiarity.

"I overheard everyone talking just now, and they said that you, Xue You, are buying gene materials—do you need any of my gene materials?"

Lu Qingshan already had this idea, and when he heard Purple Rain Venerable bring it up, he smiled and said, "That would be wonderful, of course. Purple Rain Venerable's genetic materials must be extremely valuable. I wonder what the price would be?"

"Free."

Purple Rain Venerable picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

"There's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. If Purple Rain Venerable doesn't name a price, I'll be a little worried," Lu Qingshan said with a slight smile.

"Indeed—how about this," Purple Rain Venerable whispered, "Exchange the genetic materials of myself and Bug Chasing King for one chance for Venerable Xue You to make a move."

Lu Qingshan put down his wine glass, a look of interest on his face.

A chance to make a move?

" Purple Rain Venerable's strength is probably no less than that of some Top Universe Overlord —even you couldn't handle him, so I'm afraid I could too—"

Before Lu Qingshan could finish speaking...

Purple Rain Venerable said, "We won't make a move now. We'll wait until you, Xue You, become Top Universe Overlord before we act. And it won't be just you acting alone—it will be at least the two of us working together. If the Bug Chasing King is fortunate enough to break through to the Universe Venerable, then it will be the three of us working together."

"Which powerful figure requires the three of us to join forces? If you want me to take action, I should at least know who the opponent is. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Lu Qingshan said slowly.

Although their life genes are extremely rare, Lu Qingshan would definitely not be willing to fight against a Universe Master.

If they were below the Universe Master, he wouldn't refuse. These two are unique and Special Lifeform, and their genetic materials are extremely precious. If he missed this opportunity, it might be very difficult to obtain them again.

Moreover, they are on the same side; Purple Rain Venerable and Bug Chasing King have both joined the Ancestral God Religion, so it's impossible for them to join forces to plot against me.

"It was Venerable Tianhua, a Top Universe Overlord of the Demon Race —he killed one of my closest friends, and I promised to avenge him."

" The Purple Rain Venerable's friend is Universe Overlord —who has not yet been resurrected."

The Bug Chasing King spoke up from the side.

Lu Qingshan glanced at the Bug Chasing King. It was likely that Purple Rain Venerable had nurtured the Bug Chasing King Bug Chasing King because he saw its potential and believed that it had the foundation to become Top Universe Overlord.

They envisioned working together in the future.

But now there's another one: Venerable Xue You.

Venerable Tianhua ----

Lu Qingshan murmured the name, a smile flickering across his lips. What a coincidence!

Even if Purple Rain Venerable hadn't mentioned it, he would have still targeted Venerable Tianhua. Now that he could gain benefits and be matched with teammates, he had absolutely no reason to refuse.

I agree.

Lu Qingshan said with a smile.

"As expected of Venerable Xue You —the personal disciple of the Old Ancestral God —you may reach that point even faster than the Bug Chasing King in the future." A hint of excitement flashed in Purple Rain Venerable's eyes as he continued, "I will have the Bug Chasing King send our biological materials over. Venerable Xue You —remember our agreement."

"Rest assured."

Lu Qingshan raised his glass, the three of them clinked glasses, and drank it all in one gulp.

The process of trading biological materials went very smoothly. After reaching an agreement in the Glory World, Lu Qingshan went to each of them to make the transactions.

Of course, the Xue You Clone didn't have that many True Treasure. Some of them were offset by Glory Points, and Lu Qingshan took out even more valuable True Treasure to distribute among dozens, or even hundreds, of Special Lifeform. Only in this way could he barely pay the rewards to all the Special Lifeform.

This would be a bit troublesome for the recipient's Special Lifeform, so Lu Qingshan would charge a premium so that they could get more benefits after reselling it. In this way, the recipient would be quite satisfied.

Soon, Lu Qingshan had over a thousand genetic materials of Special Lifeform forms in his hands.

However, this also exhausted all the light-sensitive parts of the spoils that the Xue You Clone had killed, including the several Universe Venerable.
