The Ganwu Mystic Region.
The enormous body with Silver Eyes lay in an inconspicuous corner of the palace, lost in thought.
Lu Qingshan looked at the Blade Race youth standing before him, smiled slightly, and said, " Parisi, not bad—to be able to break out of your Blade Race's Heart-Tempering Cave on your own, your willpower is already no weaker than that of an ordinary Marquis Immortal God."
For two eras, Parisi, trapped in the Blade Race's Heart-Tempering Cave, saw his strength barely increase and his Law Comprehension stagnate. However, the illusionary trials of the two consecutive eras rapidly enhanced his will, which has now reached the level of most Marquis Immortal God.
"Master, I was only able to escape thanks to the secret technique Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement Refining that you bestowed upon me. If it weren't for that technique, I'm afraid I would have had to wait for Senior Brother Silver Eyes to forcibly bring me out."
Having persisted for twenty thousand years without success, Parisi certainly knew how terrifying the Heart-Tempering Cave was. If it weren't for the Thousand-Thread Soul Refinement strengthening his soul, he might have even collapsed within the illusion.
Over the years, at least a thousand Blade Race warriors have entered the Heart-Tempering Cave, and all of them are warriors who are very confident in themselves. However, to date, only the clan chief has come out of it.
He, Parisi, is the second!
In a corner of the palace, the Silver Eyes heard its name called. It raised its massive head slightly, but finding nothing further, it quickly lay back down.
"Compared to Law Comprehension the laws, improving one's will is actually more difficult. I am very pleased with your progress—however, your strength is ultimately lagging behind."
"I've disappointed the teacher." Parisi looked somewhat dejected.
After emerging from the Clan's Heart-Tempering Cave, he obtained Virtual Universe Sensor, which allowed him to connect to the Virtual Universe. Naturally, he knew that his teacher had taken in several more disciples over the years.
The key point is that those disciples have amazing Law Comprehension and are powerful, none of them can compare to him. Even Lei Ming, who was similar to him before, or even slightly inferior, has passed the 13th level of the Heavenly Bridge. The Blade Race warriors, who were originally full of confidence in themselves, have begun to doubt themselves.
" Your Law Comprehension is easy to improve—falling behind a little in a short time is nothing." Lu Qingshan shook his head and continued, "I plan to exchange a Special Lifeform from the Human Race that matches your attributes for you. Are you willing to possess it?"
Parisi's eyes lit up, and he quickly nodded, "This disciple is willing."
Having cultivated for so many years, Parisi certainly understood that the body was merely a shell, while the soul was the core.
The teacher has bestowed upon him such a precious opportunity to possess Special Lifeform; if he does not accept it, the gap between him and the teacher's other disciples will only widen.
This was unacceptable to the Blade Race warriors, who were so confident they were almost arrogant.
"Hmm." Lu Qingshan wasn't surprised. He continued, "I'll teach you a secret technique for possession. Cultivate it diligently. With your willpower, the risk of failing to possess Special Lifeform at the World Lord Level is very small. After you learn it, go back to the Initial Universe with your Zhen Yan Brother Zhen Yan. I'll have him help you exchange for Special Lifeform. After you possess it, cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City and Law Comprehension as soon as possible to catch up."
"Disciple understands."
Parisi spoke firmly.
At this moment, a guard clad in Silver Battle Armor entered the palace. After bowing respectfully to Lu Qingshan, the guard said, "Respected Myriad Laws Venerable, outside the Ganwu Mystic Region, a King-level Immortal God named Tie Shan requests an audience."
" Tie Shan —yes, let him in."
Lu Qingshan waved for Parisi and Silver Eyes to leave, then sent an email to Venerable Zhen Yan, summoning him over.
A moment later.
Tie Shan entered the main hall. At just over three meters tall, he wasn't considered tall among Human Race, but his muscles appeared exaggeratedly large, making him exceptionally robust.
" Tie Shan pays respects to Myriad Laws Venerable and Venerable Zhen Yan."
After entering, Tie Shan bowed to the two Universe Venerable.
" Tie Shan, there's no need for such formalities. Did Venerable Lei Ming send you?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
Tie Shan is the eldest disciple of Venerable Lei Ming. His arrival must be at Venerable Lei Ming's behest. Lu Qingshan has not forgotten that he entrusted Venerable Lei Ming with the forging of weapons. Over the years, it seems that he has succeeded!
Tie Shan nodded and took out a completely black staff with golden hoops on both sides from his World Ring.
He then said, "Reporting to Myriad Laws Venerable, my master instructed me to deliver this True Treasure to Myriad Laws Venerable."
" Yan Jun Staff!"
Venerable Zhen Yan looked at the staff with the golden headband, his face filled with excitement, and strode towards Tie Shan.
"This originally belonged to Venerable Zhen Yan; just give it to him."
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Tie Shan handed the Yan Jun Staff to Venerable Zhen Yan.
After obtaining the Yan Jun Staff, Venerable Zhen Yan couldn't wait to show it off a few times.
He then burst into laughter, quite satisfied.
"Not bad, not bad. I'm still more used to using this old buddy. I feel like my strength has improved a lot when I fight with this Yan Jun Staff."
"Are you satisfied?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"Satisfied, satisfied. Teacher, you've gone to so much trouble. This Yan Jun Staff is just right for my current use." Venerable Zhen Yan nodded repeatedly.
Venerable Zhen Yan was very satisfied, Lu Qingshan naturally didn't say anything. He raised his hand, and a pure white, transparent mineral appeared in his hand.
He smiled and said, " Tie Shan, this is the first time we've met in real life. Your teacher said you like forging weapons, so I'll give you this ore."
" Void Crystal, such a large Void Crystal?" Tie Shan was overjoyed. He took a step forward, stood in front of Lu Qingshan, and said gratefully, "Thank you for the gift, Myriad Laws Venerable."
Tie Shan was overjoyed.
This errand run was a real steal!
As the rumors said, Myriad Laws Venerable was indeed generous, bestowing upon him such a large piece of Void Crystal on their very first meeting.
His teacher, Venerable Lei Ming, also possessed this item, but he wouldn't easily bestow it upon him. Void Crystal is a top-tier material for forging spatial True Treasure. Such a large piece of Void Crystal is worth at least a dozen True Treasure Points. Perhaps he could use this ore to forge his first True Treasure in his life.
Tie Shan didn't linger in the Ganwu Mystic Region. After delivering the Yan Jun Staff, he left happily.
After Tie Shan left.
Venerable Zhen Yan took out an iron rod covered in spikes and said, "Master, the Yan Jun Staff has now been upgraded to a Top-Tier Heavy Treasure weapon. Please take this True Treasure back."
"When have I ever taken back what I've given away?" Lu Qingshan waved his hand. "If you don't need it, just sell it. You can get a hundred or so True Treasure Points to exchange for other resources. Don't worry about anything."
Thank you, teacher.
Venerable Zhen Yan was extremely grateful and took the True Treasure back. This True Treasure was a gift from his teacher, and he didn't need it now, nor was he in a position to sell it. He felt there was no point in keeping it. Now, with his teacher's words, he could confidently sell it and exchange it for other resources.
Around one hundred True Treasure Points would be enough for him to further increase his Gene Multiplier.
" Zhen Yan, I don't need you to do anything here for now. In a few days, take Parisi back to the Initial Universe— "
Lu Qingshan spoke.
"Yes, disciple understands. If Master needs anything done for you, please feel free to call upon me. I have left behind many tokens of the Divine Kingdom in various places throughout the Ganwu Universe Country."
Looking in the direction Zhen Yan left, Lu Qingshan checked the cashback information.
[You have bestowed upon your disciple, Venerable Zhen Yan, the Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, the Yan Jun Staff, and received a thousandfold return. You have obtained the Prison-Suppressing Coiling Dragon Staff.]
"Um."
The Prison-Suppressing Coiling Dragon Staff is another Supreme Treasure, and one of the better ones at Supreme Treasure.
Although the Yan Jun Staff originally belonged to Venerable Zhen Yan, it was only at the level of Ordinary Heavy Treasure. Lu Qingshan provided materials to reforge it into Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, so it was no longer the original item and still met the cashback standard.
Just like secret techniques, if a secret technique that yields cashback is thoroughly studied and a similar technique is recreated, cashback can still be obtained again.
Lu Qingshan took out a light blue gem.
Heart Soul Pearl.
This was Soul Defense True Treasure bestowed upon him by the Chaos City Lord.
It's just at an average level.
Now that Lu Qingshan's will has reached the level of Top Universe Overlord, this thing no longer has any meaning for him.
" Zhen Yan created Peak Secret Technique during his King Rank stage, demonstrating his strong will. However, he lacks Soul Defense True Treasure, so bestowing this Heart Soul Pearl upon him would be somewhat wasteful."
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment.
" Venerable Zhen Yan is Universe Venerable, and I can bestow upon him Top-Tier Heavy Treasure. Although this Heart Soul Pearl is more valuable than most Top-Tier Heavy Treasure, it is still only of ordinary level."
"Why not bestow it upon Silver Eyes, returning a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, and then exchange that Top-Tier Heavy Treasure for another one to bestow upon Zhen Yan —that way, we can obtain a common-level Soul Defense Supreme Treasure, which my Human Main Body can also fully utilize."
Although this series of events is somewhat troublesome, it's worth it if it allows both disciples to possess Soul Defense True Treasure and also grants oneself a Soul Defense Supreme Treasure.
A moment later, Lu Qingshan removed the Life Imprint from the Heart Soul Pearl, turning it back into an unclaimed treasure.
Although this item is just an ordinary Soul True Treasure, it is definitely a top-grade item among ordinary Soul True Treasure. A top-grade Soul Defense True Treasure obtained through cashback is bound to be extremely valuable, enough for Venerable Zhen Yan to exchange for a more suitable top-grade Soul Defense True Treasure. The excess portion can also help Parisi exchange for a Special Lifeform's possession opportunity.
Lu Qingshan summoned Silver Eyes and bestowed the Heart Soul Pearl upon her.
The Heart Soul Pearl returned immediately, exactly as he had expected—a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure.
Three years later.
Parisi has fully mastered the Thousand Threads Soul Seizure Soul-Seizing Technique, and after passing Lu Qingshan's test, he now possesses the ability to seize the bodies of Special Lifeform without risk.
Lu Qingshan summoned Parisi and Venerable Zhen Yan over.
He then took out the Life Soul Pearl, a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure that had appeared in his Silver Eyes, and said...
" Zhen Yan —this is a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, but it's not quite right for you. This time, return to Chaos City, go to the Human Race Treasury, and contribute this top-tier Soul True Treasure to your race. Then, exchange it for a Soul Defense True Treasure that suits you. However, you should reserve some to exchange for a Special Lifeform possession opportunity suitable for your junior brother Parisi."
The Venerable Zhen Yan was stunned as he stared at the treasure floating in front of him, shimmering with multicolored light.
Top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure?
The teacher actually took out a treasure that was extremely precious even to the Universe Overlord, intending to bestow it upon him and Parisi.
The opportunity to possess Special Lifeform isn't expensive; usually, one or two thousand True Treasure Points are enough. However, this top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure is definitely worth more than five Supreme Treasure Point.
He was given the majority of these resources to exchange for Soul Defense True Treasure that suited his needs.
"Teacher—this treasure is too precious!"
Even the Venerable Zhen Yan hesitated to reach for the five-colored jewel before him.
At least 5 Supreme Treasure Point! That's enough to buy his life!
