Swallowing the Starry Sky Starts with a Sword

Chapter 97: Thunder Region Heart Spring Quota
Milky Way.

Hundreds of light years away from the Earth, there is a life planet called "Moroto". This life planet is slightly larger than the Earth, with a water to land ratio of about 2:1 and a pleasant climate.

However, there is no human race living on this planet.

Because this is a standard "monster livestock planet" that belongs to the biological breeding company "Mohe".

Not only the planet 'Moroto', but also the fifty-seven life planets in the nearby star fields are controlled by the 'Mohe' company, which breeds various monsters for use in many industries such as food raw materials, pet animals, fighting animals, leather materials, etc.

call.
A huge C-class cargo ship landed at the cargo port of this planet. It was over a hundred kilometers long, and its width and height were also astonishing.

Cargo ships, especially those carrying living monsters, are of astonishing size.

After all, those stellar-level monsters are often tens of kilometers in size, and some small spaceships cannot fit even one, let alone transport many at once.

"Oh, the ninth-level star-level Feimo landworms, my God, how many did you transport?"

The hatch of the spacecraft opened, and the port machinery moved one huge transparent box after another. The person in charge of the cargo port was dumbfounded when he saw it.

"Never mind, man."

The Blackhorn crew member who came out for some fresh air shook his head at him: "You know, even the entire Mohe Company has been bought by the new boss, a private proprietorship!"

"The new boss can do whatever he wants. Our wages have increased anyway."

The person in charge patted his forehead and said, “You are right.”

"By the way, hey, did you guys bring some cute little creatures here? That black scaly monster is pretty interesting."

"Although it's not even at the stellar level, look at the terrified look in its eyes. Oh, this monster is quite intelligent."

The Thunder Dragon King, who was trapped in a transparent cargo box, was terrified.

Ever since the golden-horned beast was captured by Zhou Ning, humans have completely gained the upper hand. At that time, a large number of king-level monsters around the world were killed, and the entire land fell into the hands of humans.

The king-level monsters in the sea were killed to the point where only one in ten survived. Even the Octopus King was caught and roasted by the God of Thunder.

It is the Thunder Dragon King, because of its majestic and beautiful appearance, and it is the only king-level monster left on Earth.

As a historical witness of the "Great Nirvana" era, the Thunder Dragon Emperor was left alive and has survived to the present day.

Just half a month ago.
The Thunder Dragon King, who was behaving well in the Pacific Ocean, was suddenly captured by several star-level humans and locked up.

After several transfers, it entered the cargo spacecraft.

Oh my God, what is in the spaceship?
Through the huge transparent boxes, giant insects covered with black scales and with bodies over a thousand meters long were sleeping inside.

Although their size is far smaller than that of the Thunder Dragon King, even when they are asleep, the life breath they emit is probably hundreds or thousands of times that of the Thunder Dragon King!
It is the Thunder Dragon King, the strongest monster on Earth!
When it got into this mysterious spaceship, it was as weak as an earthworm, while those super monsters that were thousands of times more powerful than it were packed into boxes like cargo.

What a nightmare!

----------

call out.

Purple-blue light descended upon the airport of the planet Moroto, revealing the sharp and graceful shape of the spacecraft.

The hatch opened and Zhou Ning strode out. Immediately in the distance, a group of management personnel from the 'Mohe' company who had been waiting for a long time came forward respectfully and eagerly to greet him.

"Taya, the Feimo land worm has arrived?"

Zhou Ning asked as he looked around.

"We're here, Mr. Ning. The three thousand star-level ninth-order Feimo landworms you ordered are all gathered in the new warehouse."

Taya, with silver hair and shrewd eyes, hesitated and said, "Mr. Ning, I have studied your project over and over again. We buy live Philippine land worms, kill them, and then break them down into food materials to sell. The profit is too low."

"Taking into account the shipping costs of spacecraft and labor costs, the entire industry chain may even have negative profits."

Zhou Ning glanced at him.

"Loss, how much will it be?"

"I paid a premium of several trillion Black Dragon Coins to buy the 'Mohe' company, just because I'm interested in the monster trade."

"If you can't lose tens of trillions, then don't interfere with my interests. Apart from the projects I occasionally arrange, you only need to maintain the company's original business."

The calm tone made the thoughtful Taya sweat on his forehead and nodded.

Spend trillions more Black Dragon coins, just for fun?

"Take me to the warehouse."

Inside the huge warehouse building, countless transparent boxes that are over a thousand meters long and dozens of meters high and wide are neatly arranged, with no end in sight.

At this moment, Zhou Ning was the only one here.

In each giant box, there is a sleeping star-level ninth-order Feimo land worm.

"The will is the skeleton, and the soul is the body."

"My spiritual will has broken through, and I have created a prototype of a marquis-level secret technique. The upper limit of my soul's origin should also be greatly improved."

Click, click, click.
With one command, countless transparent boxes opened automatically. Countless lightning threads condensed beside Zhou Ning and shot towards the brains of the Feimo land worms in the boxes.

With his current secret power, just a little bit of concentrated lightning was enough to easily penetrate the scales on the head of the sleeping Feimo land worm and destroy its life.

One by one, soul light balls were absorbed into the brain's sea of ​​consciousness with astonishing efficiency.

Zhou Ning felt the memories of countless Feimo land worms, and the essence of his soul was also rapidly nourished.

In the blink of an eye, it was two days later.

After more than fifty hours of continuous soul nourishment, Zhou Ning's soul essence once again grew to its limit.

"I have absorbed more than 2,400 soul light balls. According to this number, my soul essence has more than doubled in size."

Inside the warehouse, Zhou Ning opened his eyes. At this moment, the majestic and terrifying origin of his soul made him a little frightened.

It looks like it's only increased by more than two times.

But Zhou Ning's original soul origin had increased by about eleven times. On this basis, it increased by more than two times, and the total soul origin was equivalent to thirty or forty times the original.

"The Law of Thunder and Lightning."

Zhou Ning closed his eyes, spread his spiritual consciousness, and carefully felt the extremely weak and ethereal fluctuations of the laws of thunder and lightning in the universe.

After a moment, he stood up reluctantly.

Or not.

"The talent shortcoming is too obvious."

In the field of comprehension, he relied on his powerful soul origin and mental will, and he could also rely on studying secret methods to force analysis and progress.

And that day, Zhou Ning's spiritual will transformed, and he created the prototype of a marquis-level secret technique, and forcibly sensed the fundamental laws of thunder and lightning.

Afterwards, Zhou Ning's understanding of the laws of thunder and lightning almost stagnated, and his progress was negligible.

In terms of domain, the progress is very fast. It is estimated that he will be able to enter the seventh level in a few months.

"The search for the origin treasure cannot be delayed any longer."

virtual universe.

Zhou Ning entered the resource treasury of Qianwu Branch with the authority of 'Virtual Universe Company, Qianwu Branch, External Member'.

Said to be an external member.

However, there are differences in the authority of external members, and the authority given to Zhou Ning by Lord Yan is obviously very high among external members.

Click to enter the treasure house, and suddenly a series of branches appear on the virtual screen in front of you: secret techniques, weapons, spaceships, technological weapons, cultivation resources, materials, biology, rare treasures, special purpose items.
"I need a treasure that can improve my talent of 'Sense the Law of Lightning'."

Zhou Ning said in a loud voice that the treasure system of the Qianwu branch was also incredibly intelligent. Immediately according to Zhou Ning's request, many treasure introductions appeared on the virtual screen.

"Carlo Secret Realm, Thor's Marrow - 'Lightning Talent' has a very strong improvement effect. Requires 1 Hunyuan units per copy (required permissions unknown)"

"The Xile Fruit - 'Lightning Talent' has a strong improvement effect. Requires 4800 Hunyuan units per serving (required permissions unknown)"

"Kun Lei Zuxing, the mark of the Thunder Mother is bestowed - practitioners need to go to Kun Lei Zuxing to receive the mark, and the effect of improving the 'lightning talent' is relatively strong. It takes about 10 years. 1200 Hun Yuan units are required for each copy (the required authority is unknown)."

Looking at the extremely tempting treasure introductions on the screen, and then looking at the astonishingly high prices, even ordinary immortals would probably go bankrupt and suffer serious damage.

Moreover, the column for "Required Permissions" was all greyed out. It was obvious that with his current permissions, he could not purchase these rare treasures even if he had enough money.

"Set the treasure price, 2.8 Hunyuan, no, 3 Hunyuan units or less! Display the treasures that meet the conditions!"

Zhou Ning gritted his teeth; the original treasure was too tempting for him.

If there really is a suitable original treasure, he will fight for it even if he has to sell everything he has.

As soon as he finished speaking, the treasures that originally filled the screen were immediately replaced, and the prices they demanded plummeted.

"Comoro Thunder Crystal - 'Lightning Talent' improves slightly, requires 3 Hunyuan units per copy (authority meets requirements) [out of stock, not available yet]."

"Feis Talent Potion (Lightning) - 'Lightning Talent' improves slightly, requires 3 Hunyuan units per portion (authority required) [Out of stock, currently unavailable]."

"Dantali Fruit - 'Lightning Talent' improves slightly, requiring 3 Hunyuan units per piece (authority required) [out of stock, not available yet]."

"Nando Star, Thunder Region Heart Spring Baptism - 'Lightning Talent' improves slightly, requires 3 Hunyuan units per copy (authority meets requirements) [out of stock, not available yet]."

out of stock.

out of stock.

Still out of stock.

Zhou Ning felt a chill in his heart when he saw the clear "out of stock" markings.

Scrolling down, more than 300 items were out of stock.

"There is no shortage of treasures worth thousands or tens of thousands of Hunyuan units, but I lack wealth and authority."

"All the treasures that I can afford are out of stock?"

Zhou Ning also felt something was wrong. How could the Qianwu branch lack even some low-end origin treasures?
He stared at the screen, and after a moment, he dialed Mingyu's number.

Ming Yu is also a ninth-level Domain Lord, and he has been in the Black Dragon Mountain branch for so many years, so he must know some secrets, right?

Soon, the communication was connected.

"Oh, Ning?"

Ming Yu's projection appeared in front of Zhou Ning. He was an extremely burly and tall warrior who looked like an iron tower. His smile was very friendly. "What do you want from me?"

"Deacon Mingyu, I want to ask, I want to buy a treasure that can improve my 'Lightning Origin Talent' in the Qianwu Branch Treasury."

"But all the treasures I can afford are out of stock."

"For a dignified Qianwu branch, there isn't a single one of these low-level origin treasures. Isn't that a bit strange?"

Zhou Ning asked, and at the same time he saw Ming Yu's expression turn strange.

"Low-level origin treasure?"

"It's out of stock, that's normal."

Ming Yu shook his head: "Think about it, the production of low-level origin treasures is originally small, and this is a hot consumable."

"A treasure of origin, once you eat it, it's gone."

"Many powerful people, top realm masters or immortals, whose descendants or relatives have poor cultivation talents, will seek to purchase a piece of the origin treasure."

"In the entire Qianwu Universe, there are more powerful people willing to spend this money than the output of these origin treasures."

“Nature consumes a lot of it, and the amount left in the world is very small.”

Zhou Ning's eyes widened: "It's so rare that there isn't even one copy in the Qianwu branch?"

Mingyu smiled.

"The Qianwu branch, of course, exists, but it is not displayed in the treasury."

"If you have extremely high authority and are a core member of the branch, you can also buy it in the treasury."

"Besides that, some are either in the hands of the top leaders of the Qianwu branch, or some are released at auctions."

"Or, simply trade it on the black market."

black market?

Zhou Ning frowned and looked at Ming Yu: "The black market will be much more expensive, right?"

Ming Yu nodded: "If you are not in a hurry, it's OK. You can wait for a few hundred or a thousand years in the black market to find an opportunity. The price you get will be only half of what it is in the treasury."

"If you are in a hurry and ask someone to find the goods, it is normal for the price to be twice as high."

"Or we can wait for the auction, but the auction will take a few years."

There are only four years left until the genius competition, and I can't afford to waste too much time.

"Or, why don't you go find Army Commander Yan?" Ming Yu suddenly asked.

Zhou Ning suddenly realized.

Lord Yan is an immortal of the Qianwu branch, with a very high status, and what he needs is a low-level origin treasure.

It should be no problem to find him.

-----------

"Lord Yan."

In the sky, blazing flames burned the space, and beneath the feet was the charred, hard ground.

Zhou Ning stood at the bottom of the platform, looking at Army Leader Yan on the platform.

"Low-level origin treasure?"

The commander of the Yan army frowned, rubbed his chin with his fingers, and stared at Zhou Ning: "This stuff is worth a few Hunyuan units, it can't even be called an original treasure. Even in the treasure house, it is marked as 'weak improvement effect'."

"you need to know."

“Only at the Realm Lord stage can one generally comprehend the laws. Even many Domain Lords have not yet stepped into the threshold of the laws.”

"At the star level, every practitioner who can comprehend the laws can be called a peerless demon!"

"Even though your domain is only at the sixth level and your laws have just begun to enter the realm of the law, your talent far exceeds that of billions of humans."

"Low-level treasures below 3 Hunyuan units will probably have little effect on you."

Zhou Ning smiled bitterly in his heart.

Talent surpassing billions of humans?

If it weren't for the fact that his comprehension of the laws of thunder and lightning had basically stagnated over the past month, he wouldn't have realized how low his own talent was.

"Forget it, you won't give up."

Seeing Zhou Ning's expression, Army Master Yan did not try to persuade him. After all, these geniuses were very stubborn. "I have a spot for the baptism of the 'Thunder Domain Heart Spring'. I'll give it to you. I'll give you two Hunyuan Units."

"Thank you, Lord Yan!"

Zhou Ning was surprised.

"correct."

Army Master Yan suddenly smiled and said, "The people of Qianwu Holy Land know that you have joined the Qianwu branch of my Virtual Universe Company."

"They have something to do with you."

Qianwu Holy Land?

That was the power of the Lord of Qianwu State. Why were they looking for me? They wanted to poach people from the Virtual Universe Company?

"rest assured."

Army Chief Yan looked at Zhou Ning's expression and seemed to know what he was thinking: "They don't have the guts to poach employees from my Virtual Universe Company."

"They are, sending money."

"Remember, ask for a higher price."
