Time flies, and a century has passed since the birth of the Qishen Temple.
Lu Qingshan continued his research on the Primal Star —eliminating duplicate plant life forms. His research was progressing at an increasingly rapid pace, and he had already reached the Primal Star, which was numbered over a thousand.
Although there are many species on the Primal Star, as the research deepens, there are more and more repetitions. Lu Qingshan estimated that the subsequent treasure planets would only need to be explored once, and the biological materials that have not yet been explored would be studied, and that would be enough to finish.
The further you go, the faster the speed becomes.
Over the past century, the Primal Star has not changed much.
Except for the Primal Star 02829, where each peak race left a powerful figure to guard it, the other precious stars remained as usual.
Although all the major powers are searching for the Qi Mirror Stone, it has never been clear which power has actually obtained it. Although there are rumors that someone on a certain planet has obtained the Qi Mirror Stone, they have all turned out to be just rumors.
Even if a major power does acquire the Qi Mirror Stone, it certainly won't announce it for the time being.
However, Lu Qingshan was certain that Hongmeng Alliance had not obtained a single piece.
There are too many Primal Star, 10,081 in total. The number of powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance is limited. Even if Qi Mirror Stone were to appear in the next hundred years, the probability of it being discovered by the powerful members of the Hongmeng Alliance would be extremely small.
Lu Qingshan wasn't worried about this; he had a good attitude.
A top-tier, special-type Peak Supreme Treasure, while precious to him, wasn't absolutely necessary. He could get a cashback by bestowing High-grade Supreme Treasure upon Ling Yu, and he had already obtained two by capturing the Lord of Sky Wolf.
That's why he can focus on researching his biological materials. Even if there are occasional rumors, he won't bother to make a trip himself until he gets confirmation.
With such dedicated research, the number of pages in the gene map has naturally increased, and it has now reached 1,980,211 pages. This includes gene maps of many Primal Star biological materials. These are unique copies, extremely valuable, and cannot be found outside of the Primal Star.
Moreover, studying plant life genes is very simple, so the process is extremely fast.
"I estimate that it won't be long before I finish researching the biological materials on the Primal Star, and then I can continue researching what the Xue You Clone collected—moreover, Luo Feng seems to have made considerable progress over the years."
Over the past few centuries, Lu Qingshan has received cash back from Luo Feng from time to time.
His Metal Element Fusion Law was already perfected, mainly due to the return on the Creation Secret Technique —this returned information opened Lu Qingshan's eyes—if he were to Creation Secret Technique now, he would probably only need the Gold-Space Law, and he would have a chance to create an attack secret technique at the level of the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master.
Unlike before, when the Gold-Space and Earth-Space merged, they even used an extremely expensive treasure to create the Strongest Secret Technique of the Universe Master, the Gold Ruins.
"No rush, no rush----" Lu Qingshan was very calm. With City Lord Luo as his disciple, secret techniques were no longer a weakness for him. By the time Luo Feng emerged from the Starry Sky Behemoth Progenitor's Small Universe, he estimated that he would be able to create the Strongest Fusion Secret Technique for the Universe Master!
Lu Qingshan's consciousness settled within his Divine Kingdom.
Under his perception, Ling Xi once again filled three large jugs with seawater from the Sea of Blood.
" Ling Xi is taking water from the Blood Sea more and more often; I need to talk to her about it."
Lu Qingshan couldn't help but shake his head.
"Although the sea of blood and water is just a drop in the ocean to Luo Feng, such things still require Luo Feng permission. Otherwise, it's fine once or twice, but it will become annoying if it happens too often."
Ling Xi was unaware of this situation, so he had to remind her.
Within the Divine Kingdom.
Ling Xi had just filled three large jugs with blood sea water and turned around when she saw her teacher walking over.
She patted her chest and said, "Teacher—when did you get back? You didn't say a word, you startled me!"
"This is my avatar. When did you become so timid?"
Lu Qingshan smiled slightly, his gaze falling on the water bottle in her hand.
For cooking?
"Yes, teacher. I've been using this ingredient to research a dish for years, and I'm almost at perfection. Teacher, where did you bring this great river from?"
Ling Xi turned around and looked at the enormous sea of blood, then asked.
"That's not some great river; that's a divine Clone of one of your junior brothers."
Lu Qingshan explained.
"Ah!!"
Ling Xi's eyes widened, and she almost dropped the water bottle in her hand.
Clone of his own junior brother?
She had been wondering when such a powerful river containing such immense life force had appeared in the teacher's Divine Kingdom; who could have imagined it would be like this?
Last time she destroyed her teacher's Clone, and this time she's taken her junior brother's Clone?
"Teacher, why didn't you tell me beforehand?"
Ling Xi clasped her hands together and waved them a few times in front of the sea of blood, repeatedly apologizing—she really didn't know this news. If she had known, she would definitely have exchanged the dishes she made with this junior brother.
Seeing that Xue Hai didn't react, Ling Xi asked somewhat nervously, "Teacher, why isn't Junior Brother responding? Is he angry?"
"Your junior brother is currently in seclusion and probably doesn't have time to deal with you. Talk to him after he comes out. Don't worry, your junior brother isn't petty. If he didn't want you to take it, he would have stopped you the first time."
Lu Qingshan responded.
"Master, I know I was wrong. I had no choice. All the materials you bought for me last time are used up, and the World Tree branches are all gone too. I have nothing left to research. Last time I went for a walk, I discovered that this seawater is useful, so I started to study it."
"You're blaming your teacher now—" Lu Qingshan shook his head and said, "As for the materials, I'll buy another set based on the last list. If you need to cut or add anything, just tell the Intelligent Life in the Virtual Universe what the World Tree is, and I can give you another set."
As he spoke, Lu Qingshan took out a large section of the World Tree, placed it in a separate World Ring, and handed it to Ling Xi. He continued, "This should be enough for you to pass the time. Don't take any more water from the Blood Sea before you get your junior brother's permission."
"Thank you, teacher. I understand."
Ling Xi happily put away the World Ring. Her teacher was so kind; she had done something wrong, but instead of blaming her, the teacher had given her so many precious materials.
"Teacher, I have recently developed two more dishes. Would you like to try them?"
Ling Xi asked with some anticipation.
"What food? I'm really looking forward to it."
Lu Qingshan took Ling Xi and Teleportation directly into the temple. Only then did Ling Xi take out two jade bottles.
She explained, "One of these dishes is Tenfold Great Tonic Soup' made with the World Tree and the Beast God Blood as its core, supplemented with 999,999 other ingredients."
" Tenfold Great Tonic Soup?"
Lu Qingshan felt the name was very rustic; what was the difference between it and Liuwei Dihuang Wan (a traditional Chinese medicine)?
No, it doesn't sound as good as the latter.
"Teacher, this dish was developed by your disciple. It can enhance the affinity with the Ten Basic Laws of the universe. What do you think—the name your disciple came up with is quite good, isn't it?"
Ling Xi was very satisfied with the name she had chosen.
"Hmm, very good, comparable to the names I came up with." Lu Qingshan nodded.
Ling Xi felt that her teacher was praising her. She then pointed to the second jade bottle and said, "This is a dish I created based on the content of the inheritance. Of course, the ingredients have also been changed. The name of this dish is Crimson Flame Red Jade Soup."
Ling Xi uncorked the bottle.
A wave of heat hit me.
Lu Qingshan looked down and saw that the soup in the bottle was bright red, with what looked like pale red flames dancing on it, giving it an extremely delicious appearance.
What is the purpose of this dish?
Lu Qingshan asked.
"This dish is full of life force; if the divine body is damaged, it can be instantly repaired. The effect is excellent—when I tested it, I burned a little of my divine body, and I recovered very quickly after consuming it."
Hearing about the effect, even Lu Qingshan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
Luo Feng —no—this little chef Ling Xi really did have some effect. Ling Xi is Universe Venerable —even treasures that allow Universe Venerable to restore their divine body are extremely precious, let alone treasures that can restore quickly.
The faster this thing recovers, the higher its value. The difference between recovering in one epoch and recovering in ten thousand epochs is a hundredfold or a thousandfold.
"Besides quickly restoring the divine body, this thing can also enhance the affinity with fire and Wood Law, and its effect is slightly better than the Tenfold Great Tonic Soup, although the Tenfold Great Tonic Soup is more comprehensive."
Listening to Ling Xi's introduction, Lu Qingshan nodded.
He took out a small bowl and tasted some of the Tenfold Great Tonic Soup." Although it didn't have much effect on him, it still tasted very delicious.
Apart from Ling Xi's place, Lu Qingshan had never tasted such delicious food before.
As for the Crimson Flame Red Jade Soup, Lu Qingshan did not drink it—it contained the divine body of his disciple Luo Feng, which made him feel somewhat repulsed.
However, the effect is quite remarkable; it's worth having someone test it out.
After putting both jade pots away, Lu Qingshan asked, "Have you used up the Beast God Blood?"
Upon hearing this, Ling Xi's expression lit up with surprise. She nodded quickly and said, "This disciple has already used them all up."
"Okay, I'll give you another two hundred drops. Let me know when you've used them up."
Before going to the Primal Star, Lu Qingshan left some treasures in the Divine Kingdom, retrieved them through his avatar, and gave Ling Xi two hundred drops of Beast God Blood.
[You have bestowed 200 drops of Beast God Blood upon your disciple Ling Xi, receiving a ten-thousand-fold return. You have also received two Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower.]
The cashback offer came soon after.
Two more Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower.
Lu Qingshan's three Clone were all at the Perfect Gene Level, so this treasure had no effect on them anymore.
However, he quickly made arrangements: two Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower —one for Silver Eyes and one for Mirror Venerable.
Given the immense potential of Silver Eyes ' Gene Multiplier, finding a treasure to bestow upon him is already difficult, and cashback is useless, so there's no need to deliberately control it. A single Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower should be able to increase his Gene Multiplier to around four thousand times.
As for Mirror Venerable, Lu Qingshan still wanted to cultivate him into Universe Overlord so that he could take him to search for treasures in the Universe Ocean, so he naturally couldn't be stingy.
After seeing Ling Xi off, Lu Qingshan's Divine Power Avatar retrieved the two Purple Jade Ice Crystal Flower that had just appeared from the World Tree Clone, and then left the Divine Kingdom.
Upon returning to the mainland Virtual Universe Company Headquarters, Lu Qingshan summoned Silver Eyes.
