The Initial Universe, Chaos City.
Upon arriving in Chaos City, Lu Qingshan first went to the Blood Abyss Tower to return the Purple Bell that Silver Eyes had brought back to his seventh senior sister Blood Rose King.
Whether or not this treasure is present, the Blood Rose King's strength will be greatly affected.
He then went directly to the Human Race Treasury in the side hall of the city lord's mansion.
He had already reserved his place here before he even set off.
Upon entering the side hall, the bronze doors slowly closed.
Lu Qingshan took out the Fire God Pearl and placed it on the huge stone plate.
A white light swept across.
Soon, a gentle voice rang out.
" The Fire God Pearl, a top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, is worth 6.8 Supreme Treasure Point. Myriad Laws Venerable, would you be willing to contribute it to your clan?"
6.8 Supreme Treasure Point, not bad----
A slight smile appeared on Lu Qingshan's face. He had originally thought that this treasure was worth around five Supreme Treasure Point.
The price of the Race Treasury exceeded his expectations.
This treasure was obtained too easily. Just send Silver Eyes to the Outer Domain Battlefield and bring back the True Treasure he acquired, and he gets it directly. It's effortless and without any effort at all.
"Contribute."
Lu Qingshan spoke.
The stone disc slowly opened, and a huge suction force swallowed the Fire God Pearl, which was as bright as Star Level, into it. Soon, Lu Qingshan received an email, and 6.8 Supreme Treasure Point were credited to his account.
The total is now 7 Supreme Treasure Point, with 12 True Treasure Points remaining.
Having contributed this top-tier Soul Defense True Treasure, Lu Qingshan's account finally had some money left.
Despite his current abundance of treasures, he doesn't actually possess many Supreme Treasure Point or True Treasure Points —not even comparable to other ordinary Universe Overlord.
With the money in my account, I naturally decided to repay it as planned.
After checking the debts owed by the Ganwu Country Lord, Lu Qingshan found that the clan was still owed 2.2 Supreme Treasure Point. He then directly returned these 2.2 Supreme Treasure Point to the clan.
He was a disciple of the Ganwu Country Lord, so it was perfectly normal for him to help the Ganwu Country Lord pay off his debts.
Besides, most of the other private debts of the Ganwu Country Lord have been paid off, leaving only about 0.5 Supreme Treasure Point of debt for the Venerable Beiming. Lu Qingshan transferred another 0.5 Supreme Treasure Point to the Venerable Beiming.
At this point, all of the Ganwu Country Lord's debts had been cleared.
They can truly be described as debt-free and carefree.
After paying off his debt to the Ganwu Country Lord, Lu Qingshan still had 4.3 Supreme Treasure Point remaining. He had basically looked through all the treasures in the Race Treasury and didn't need to buy anything, so he left the Supreme Treasure Point and left the side hall.
" The Myriad Laws Venerable ----"
Just as I stepped outside, a man wearing blue armor and with blue scales on his face approached.
" Nine Swords Venerable!"
Lu Qingshan replied.
There aren't many Universe Venerable cultivating in the Initial Universe. Most Universe Venerable stay in their respective regions and don't usually come to the Initial Universe unless there's a special reason. So, he was somewhat surprised to encounter the Nine Swords Venerable here.
" Myriad Laws Venerable, did you just go to the Race Treasury?" Nine Swords Venerable glanced at the bronze gate beside him, noticing that Lu Qingshan had just come out of it.
"Yes, Nine Swords Venerable, you've come to the City Lord's Mansion. Is there something you wish to see the City Lord about?"
Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.
"No!" The Nine Swords Venerable shook his head and said with a smile, "I'm here to find Kandri."
Speaking of this, Nine Swords Venerable seemed intrigued. He said, "Recently, a new Cosmic Secret Realm has appeared near the Machine Race Territory, called the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region. The realm is of an extremely high level; anyone below the level of Universe Venerable who goes there will surely die. However, for Universe Venerable, the risks are not great, but the rewards are plentiful. I just made an appointment with Kandri to go to the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region together. I wonder if Myriad Laws Venerable is interested? If so, we can team up."
After speaking, a hint of anticipation flashed in the eyes of the Nine Swords Venerable.
Among these Universe Venerable, the strength of the Myriad Laws Venerable is considered to be at the level of Universe Overlord. Even if it is not, he is still an extremely powerful existence among High Venerable.
If you could team up with such a powerful individual for an adventure, the chances of finding treasures would increase significantly.
He wasn't familiar with Myriad Laws Venerable, but they both belonged to the Virtual Universe Company, and they had run into each other here today, which was why he extended the invitation.
" Kandri has guarded the Chaos Stele for countless years; I never expected him to have such an adventurous spirit."
Lu Qingshan smiled, then shook his head and said, "I'll pass—I don't like fighting and killing, so I'm not interested in adventures in secret realms—"
Hearing this, the Nine Swords Venerable was still somewhat unwilling to give up. He said, "There are many treasures in this Myriad Spirit Mystic Region. I sent you some information. Myriad Laws Venerable, take a look and see if you are interested. If you are, you can contact me."
Thank you.
Lu Qingshan cupped his hands in a respectful gesture.
Information about high-level Cosmic Secret Realm, especially newly emerging Cosmic Secret Realm, is quite valuable.
The Nine Swords Venerable directly sent him information about the secret realm, which could be considered a gesture of goodwill. Of course, Lu Qingshan knew the other party's intentions—to recruit him—but it's safe to say that the Nine Swords Venerable would definitely be disappointed.
After all, the resources in the Cosmic Secret Realm are nothing compared to cashback—giving Silver Eyes just an Ordinary Heavy Treasure would get you 6.8 Supreme Treasure Point in cashback, which is far more than the entire fortune of Nine Swords Venerable.
Going to that secret realm to fight to the death would ultimately yield less than a cashback reward, so Lu Qingshan naturally had no interest in taking the risk.
However, he still took a look at the information about the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region.
This Myriad Spirit Mystic Region is located near the Machine Race Territory, but the Machine Race cannot fully control it. After its discovery, many Universe Venerable have come here to take risks.
It's still in a rather chaotic state, with no established unspoken rules.
The main products of the Myriad Spirit Mystic Region are Myriad Spirit Crystal, Myriad Spirit Pearl, and Myriad Spirit Fruit —all of which are relatively precious treasures at the Universe Venerable level.
The Myriad Spirit Crystal can be used as a material for refining True Treasure, and in some aspects it even reaches the level of Top-Tier Heavy Treasure materials. The Myriad Spirit Pearl is compatible with the soul and is extremely rare. It can be used to make Soul Defense True Treasure. The Myriad Spirit Fruit can increase Gene Multiplier when consumed, but the upper limit is very low, not even as good as the Ice Flame Spirit Fruit - it only works on Gene Level of several dozen times. Although it seems low, it is a treasure that most Universe Venerable dream of.
The information was rather rudimentary—it was unclear where the Nine Swords Venerable had obtained it. After reading it, Lu Qingshan understood why the Nine Swords Venerable wanted to recruit him.
There are too many treasures here—especially the Myriad Spirit Pearl and the Myriad Spirit Fruit. Once they appear, it will definitely cause a bloodbath. Even if one or two Universe Venerable join forces, it will still be quite dangerous inside.
The reason why Kandri was willing to go with him was because Kandri had many Clone, so it didn't matter if they died. In critical moments, he wouldn't care about the life or death of the Nine Swords Venerable. Therefore, the Nine Swords Venerable still needed to find one or two powerful teammates, and Lu Qingshan, who was suspected to be Universe Overlord, was naturally the most suitable candidate.
However, these things were not enough to entice Lu Qingshan to go.
Of all the resources from the secret realm, the only one he valued was the Myriad Spirit Fruit, which could be given to his disciples as a substitute for Void Spirit Marrow.
He had absolutely no interest in anything else.
Even if he were interested, he didn't need to go there in person; he could easily buy some—many people would probably sell them if the price was right.
After all, the effects of the Myriad Spirit Fruit are limited, and some powerful High Venerable may not be able to use it. The best way to utilize it is to exchange True Treasure Points and Supreme Treasure Point for higher-level treasures that suit them.
After leaving the city lord's mansion, Lu Qingshan instantly Teleportation to Qingshan Residence.
After Lu Lingxiao left, Qingshan Residence became much quieter, with only the sisters Ling Yu and Ling Xi still living there.
Ling Xi remained in that secret room, conducting her research, as if she had transformed from a hotel chef into a meticulous scientific researcher.
Her focused expression made Lu Qingshan reluctant to disturb her.
However, it seems that Ling Xi's strength has not improved much. She is still weak and insignificant, with only a few times the Gene Multiplier and a faint divine power, as if it would dissipate with a gust of wind.
Lu Qingshan's spiritual power only swept over it briefly, and then he summoned Ling Yu.
The last time we met was in the Ganwu Mystic Region, more than ten years ago.
"Teacher, what brings you back to Qingshan Residence?"
Ling Yu walked slowly towards them, her long purple hair flowing in the breeze.
"I came here on some business, and also to see you and Ling Xi— " Lu Qingshan said with a gentle smile.
"Teacher, Ling Xi has been acting like she's gone mad lately, hiding in the secret room doing research. I haven't even seen her in a long time."
Ling Yu glanced back at the direction where Ling Xi was in seclusion and said somewhat speechlessly.
"Perhaps she's reached a crucial point in her research, so it's best not to disturb her—" Lu Qingshan smiled faintly and asked, "And you, you mentioned last time that you wanted to Creation Secret Technique, have you made any progress?"
"We've made some progress."
Ling Yu nodded and said earnestly.
"After returning to the Initial Universe, with the help of my teacher, the Chaos City Lord, I cultivated in that trial illusion for three years. I've barely managed to see the direction ahead clearly, and I'm preparing to use the Snow Demon Flower King that my teacher bestowed upon me to attempt to Creation Secret Technique!"
"Hmm, the City Lord personally guided the trial illusion, so it must be highly targeted. The direction you found from it is most likely correct. So, continue along this path and give it a try. It's just a Snow Demon Flower King; even if you lose it, it won't matter—"
"Teacher, you're making it sound too easy. Even the Lord of Chaos City Lord was quite surprised when he learned that you bestowed the Snow Demon Flower King upon me—saying it was a waste—"
Ling Yu wouldn't listen to her teacher's nonsense.
She had researched the information about the Snow Demon Flower King. The Snow Demon Flower King was an extremely precious treasure, not even found in the most prestigious Human Race treasuries. This thing was of great help to even Universe Venerable. If it were contributed to the race, it could definitely be sold at a premium. Her teacher, however, used it to make her create Immortal secret technique, which was simply a waste of talent.
Moreover, given the immense power of the Chaos City Lord, he wouldn't speak carelessly. Using the Snow Demon Flower King now would be a waste.
Lu Qingshan shook his head. "Don't overthink it. Use the treasures I gave you as you see fit. Your master doesn't lack these things. My disciples are naturally different from others—"
While they were talking.
Lu Qingshan then took out a star the size of a soccer ball, shimmering with a deep blue light, and said...
"This is a Sealing Star that your senior brother with Silver Eyes brought back from the Star Tower in the Outer Domain Battlefield! It's a fine sealing True Treasure. Take it and refine it—it will give you more options even when facing Universe Venerable in the future."
Ling Yu examined the Sealing Star for a moment.
When she was training in the Outer Domain Battlefield, she chose the Seventh Battlefield Yanji Continent, so she naturally knew some information about the Star Tower.
This Sealing Star is an extremely precious True Treasure. Every time it appears, it triggers a chaotic battle among the top experts of various races.
Given her strength back then, even if she had encountered it, she wouldn't have been qualified to compete for it.
I never expected that Senior Brother Silver Eyes would bring back such a precious item after just one trip to the Outer Domain Battlefield, and that our teacher would even bestow it upon me.
"Teacher, this was brought back by Senior Brother Silver Eyes. You didn't give it to him, but bestowed it upon me instead. Teacher, you're showing me far too much favoritism."
"Haha, your Silver Eyes Senior Brother isn't that petty. Besides, he helped me with something, so I'll naturally reward him in other ways. Don't overthink it!"
Lu Qingshan knew exactly what Ling Yu was thinking.
It's only natural that she was afraid of offending Silver Eyes by accepting this treasure. Little did she know that what Lu Qingshan gave Silver Eyes was countless times more precious than this Sealing Star.
Hearing her teacher say that, Ling Yu put away the Sealing Star.
[You bestowed upon your disciple the True Treasure, Ling Yu, to Sealing Star, receiving a ten-thousand-fold return; you, however, received the Ordinary Supreme Treasure Fallen Star Prison.]
