Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 90: Status Increased, Preparing Treasures

While Lu Qingshan and his disciple Hoggs were drinking, the voice of the intelligent life form Deep Blue suddenly sounded in his mind: "Master, your superior, Lord Qingcang, is here to see you, and is now at the door of your mansion!"

"Qing Cang?" A trace of doubt flashed across Lu Qingshan's face. "I don't have any missions right now. Could it be that Qing Cang came here just because I passed the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge?"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly stood up and went out with Hoggs to greet them.

"Qingcang!"

After arriving at the door of the mansion, Lu Qingshan greeted him with a smile: "How come you have time to come to my place?"

"Of course, congratulations Qingshan, you have passed the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge!"

Qing Cang Hou smiled and said, "I knew before that Qingshan, you would definitely be able to break through and become an immortal marquis, but I didn't expect that your breakthrough speed would be much faster than I imagined!"

"Qing Cang, you're too kind!"

Lu Qingshan introduced with a smile: "This is my disciple Hoggs, who is also from our transportation department. He came here to celebrate for me, and he also brought a bottle of 'Silver Frost Dew'. Let's go in and eat while chatting!"

"Silver Frost Dew?"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's introduction, Qingcanghou nodded slightly to Hoggs, then said with a smile: "The Silver Frost Dew is a good thing. I was fortunate enough to drink it once at a banquet hosted by the teacher in reality. The taste was really unforgettable! Your disciple is willing to buy you the Silver Frost Dew. Even in the virtual universe, it is very enviable!"

"But I won't have a good meal today, and Qingshan, you have to come with me!"

"Qingcang, what happened?" Lu Qingshan asked quickly.

"Don't worry, it's a good thing!"

Qingcanghou replied immediately: "Qingshan, you have passed the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge this time, so your treatment in our transportation department will naturally continue to improve! This time I came to you, firstly to congratulate you on your entry into the level of marquis, and secondly to take you to see Lord Heifeng King! Lord Heifeng King is waiting for us in his mansion now, so we should leave as soon as possible!"

"King Black Peak?"

After hearing what Qingcanghou said, Lu Qingshan was also moved.

After all, the main reason he went to the fifteenth floor of Tongtian Bridge this time was to enhance his authority and status within the Virtual Universe Company.

King Black Peak was his immediate superior in the transportation department, so being summoned by King Black Peak at this time was naturally a good thing for him.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but look at his disciple Hoggs.

"Teacher, your business is more important!"

Hoggs on the side said quickly: "It won't be too late for us to continue celebrating after you finish your work!"

"Okay! I'll email you when I'm done with these things!"

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly to Hoggs, and then quickly looked at Qingcanghou: "Qingcang, let's go!"

……

King Black Peak, as one of the heads of the transportation department and an immortal king himself, naturally has his residence very close to the giant mountain in the center of Thunder Island.

A moment later, Lu Qingshan and Qingcanghou rushed to the living room of King Heifeng's mansion on Thunder Island.

"Greetings, King Black Peak!" Lu Qingshan and Qingcang Hou bowed slightly and saluted at the same time.

"Hahaha!"

Seeing Lu Qingshan and Qingcanghou, the Black Peak King laughed and said, "Qingshan, Qingcang, you two are both capable generals under my command. There is no need to be so polite. Sit down!"

"Thank you, King Heifeng!"

Lu Qingshan and Qingcanghou bowed and thanked him, then sat down on the chairs on both sides of the living room.

But what surprised Lu Qingshan was that standing behind King Black Peak was Kalista, who was familiar to him.

"Qingshan!"

King Heifeng looked at Lu Qingshan and said with a smile: "I think Qingcang has already informed you in advance why I called you here this time!"

"Yes!" Lu Qingshan replied quickly and respectfully.

"The status of the immortal spirits in my transportation department will be greatly improved after they enter the level of marquis!"

King Black Peak continued, "I called you here this time just to ask if there is any work you want to do? Do you want to manage some immortal military lords like Qing Cang, or do you plan to continue to act alone?"

"I am willing to obey the company's arrangements!"

After listening to the words of the Black Peak King, Lu Qingshan quickly replied: "But if possible, I would rather act alone!"

Managing other immortals would undoubtedly waste his cultivation time. If he had a choice, Lu Qingshan would naturally not want to do that!
"Well!"

King Black Peak nodded and said, "Since you like to act alone, I will not arrange other immortal gods under your command! As for the benefits that the immortal gods can enjoy in my transportation department, Qing Cang will tell you!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his gaze to Qingcanghou opposite him.

After getting the permission from the Black Peak King, Qing Canghou quickly said, "Qingshan, the company still values us immortal marquises very much, especially our transportation department, which has many enviable benefits!"

"First of all, after you become a Marquis Immortal, the F-class spaceship that the company originally gave you to use, that is, your 'Blood Red No. 3', is now completely yours! And every 100,000 years, you can use your identity to receive an energy subsidy worth 500 points from the logistics department!"

"In addition, the authority, vacation, and rewards of the Immortal Marquis in the company have also been greatly improved! According to the company's regulations, Qingshan, you are now a primary marquis, so for every 100,000 years of work, you can enjoy 10,000 years of vacation, and you can also get a reward of 10,000 points."

"In addition to these, our transportation department also has various subsidies, which is about 1,500 points every 100,000 years!"

"Of course, if the mission you accept requires you to leave the human race's territory and go to the alien race's territory, you will receive corresponding additional subsidies during the mission!"

"Leave the human territory?" Lu Qingshan asked with some confusion.

"That's right!"

Qing Cang Hou explained with a smile: "Among the many tasks our transportation department receives, many actually require dealing with alien warriors! However, accepting such tasks requires at least the strength of a marquis, so Qingshan, you naturally haven't seen it before!"

"After you work for a while, you will be able to understand these tasks! Don't worry, there are fixed transmission channels between our human race's territory and those alien races that are friendly with our human race. In those alien races' territories, no one dares to offend the strong men of our human race, so you don't have to worry about safety at all!"

"I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Qing Canghou's words reminded him of what happened in the original novel when Luo Feng was selling the spoils he got from an immortal king of the mechanical race.

At that time, Luo Feng sold the spoils to two immortal kings of alien races in Hongmeng through King Zhen Yan, and the transportation of those precious spoils was handed over to the Virtual Universe Company!
After Qingcang Hou introduced to Lu Qingshan the many benefits and treatments of being an immortal marquis, Lu Qingshan was quite impressed.

Let alone the income alone, if all the subsidies are added together, you can get 12,000 points every 100,000 years.

That ten billion years means 1.2 million points, which is almost as much as the total wealth of an ordinary immortal king of an alien race.

Of course, there are actually very few people who can work steadily in the transportation department for a billion years and become immortals. After working for a period of time, many people may apply for transfer because the work is boring, and some even apply to go to the battlefield outside the domain.

Moreover, most people would not keep the points after they get them. They would use them to improve their strength, train their juniors, or eat, drink and have fun...

In short, even if the transportation department treats the immortal marquises very well, it is still not easy for a primary marquis to accumulate 100 million points!

"Alright, I've explained everything to you. You can leave now!" Black Peak King ordered directly: "Kalista, help me see them off!"

"Yes, Master!" Kalista, who had been standing behind King Black Peak, responded quickly.

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan and Qingcanghou also stood up and bowed respectfully, saying, "I'll take my leave!"

Soon, Lu Qingshan and Qingcanghou left the residence of King Heifeng under the leadership of Kalista.

After accepting Calista's congratulations, Lu Qingshan quickly invited Qingcanghou and Calista to his mansion for a banquet.

After receiving Lu Qingshan's invitation, Calista and Qing Canghou naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Lu Qingshan then called his disciple Hoggs over, and the four of them drank happily together.

After the banquet was over and Hoggs and the other two left, Lu Qingshan quickly came to the study.

"Shenlan, how many points do I have now?" Lu Qingshan asked directly.

"Owner!"

The intelligent life form Deep Blue immediately replied: "With the points you just gained after passing the fifteenth level of Tongtian Bridge, you now have a total of 1247.63 points!"

"It seems that I still have enough points!" After hearing the answer from the intelligent life form Deep Blue, Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "There is no need to venture into the Sea of Illusion again!"

Now that Lu Qingshan has entered the realm of marquis, the intensity of his consciousness has been significantly improved compared to before, and his will has undergone a slight transformation since his last time in the mysterious realm of Yanshen. If he were to venture into the Illusion Sea now, it should be relatively easy for him to pass the eighteenth and nineteenth islands.

However, Lu Qingshan is not short of points now, so there is naturally no need to rush to enter the Illusion Sea.

More than ten million points are considered relatively wealthy for an immortal god of the first level of marquis.

"The second clone will head to the outer battlefield next. I still need to think carefully about how to use these points!"

Lu Qingshan sat in the study, constantly thinking: "First of all, there is no need to buy anything too precious. After all, with my current strength, I am nothing in the battlefield outside the domain. Once I encounter a fatal crisis, I will definitely self-destruct. By then, all the resources I carry will be gone!"

“But it can’t be too shabby, otherwise it would be a joke for a Marquis Immortal to use thousands of points to make a weapon!”

"And Kashi. Although I didn't cultivate it well due to lack of resources, it has been with me for nearly ten million years after all. I should give it a chance to break through and become immortal!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly asked in his mind: "Deep Blue, how many points does Kashi need to break through to the Immortal Realm?"

"Master, your auxiliary life Kashi was not cultivated very well in the beginning, so even after breaking through and becoming immortal, its strength will not be very high! Based on the points you have now, I have selected three options for you!"

The voice of the intelligent life form Deep Blue rang in Lu Qingshan's mind: "Plan 68, spend points, there is an % chance that Kashi will break through and become immortal, but after the breakthrough, he can only reach the strength of an ordinary military lord!"

"Plan 256, spend million points, with a % chance of allowing Kashi to break through and become immortal. After the breakthrough, he will have the strength of a high-level military lord!"

"Plan three, spend 1231 million points, with a % chance of allowing Kashi to break through and become immortal. After the breakthrough, he will have the strength of a primary marquis!"

After listening to the three solutions provided by the intelligent life Deep Blue, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

This is the result of not cultivating carefully at the beginning. Not only is the upper limit low, but it also takes more resources to improve to the same strength.

If you aim to cultivate the auxiliary life to the initial level of Marquis from the beginning, it will definitely not cost more than 10 million points!

Of course, when Lu Qingshan was cultivating Kashgar, although he had the wealth accumulated by his family over endless years in his hands, he certainly did not dare to waste too many resources on cultivating Kashgar because he wanted to accumulate resources to buy the initial quota for cosmic comprehension!

"Kashgar is lucky. I am not too short of resources right now. If I were just an ordinary immortal, I would have given up on it!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately made a decision: "Anyway, I won't lead Kashi to the battlefield outside the domain, so let's choose the first option and cultivate an ordinary immortal-level auxiliary life and send it to Tianlei Star to protect the family! Shenlan, help me place the order!"

"Yes, Master!"

The voice of the intelligent life form Deep Blue soon rang in Lu Qingshan's mind: "The purchase was successful, costing a total of 68 points. Many materials will be delivered to your residence on the mainland of the Virtual Universe Company headquarters within three days."

"Yeah!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly in response.

"Master, what else do you want to buy?" asked the intelligent life form Deep Blue again.

"Buy a set of weapons and armor that suit me!"

Lu Qingshan continued to instruct: "Add all together, the price must be within one million points!"

"According to your request, Master, I recommend that you purchase a set of 'Pupilus Snail Armor' and a 'Purple Thunder Sword'!"

The intelligent life form Deep Blue continued, "The Snail Armor is a type of armor that many immortal gods like. It has very good defense and can completely resist all physical attacks below the immortal realm. It can weaken the attacks of the primary military lord level to one-tenth of the original, the attacks of the high-level military lord level to 60% of the original, and the attacks of the primary level of the Marquis to % of the original. As for the attacks of the high-level Marquis and above, they can no longer be weakened at all, and it costs points!"

"The Purple Thunder Sword is a standard divine weapon made by the Virtual Universe Company's master weapon refiner, 'Melting Fire King'. It is very suitable for immortal gods who have broken through with the law of the origin of thunder and lightning. It can fully withstand the battle between powerful men of the initial level of the Marquis. The price is 30 points!"

After hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly ordered: "Shenlan, help me place the order!"

He knew about the Snail Shell. In the original novel, after Luo Feng collected 10,000 black tokens in the Demon Sound Mountain, the Snail Shell was one of the three rewards given to him by King Tianyu, who was in charge of guarding the place.

It's just that King Tianyu only needs 60 points to buy the Snail Shell, while Lu Qingshan needs to spend points at this time. This also reflects the different status of the Immortal King and the Immortal Marquis in the Virtual Universe Company!
As for the Purple Thunder Sword, he had never heard of it, but since it was made by a weapon refining master at the king level, there must be no problem with the quality!

"As for the new auxiliary life, there is no need to rush to cultivate it!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "With my current strength, it is obviously useless to cultivate auxiliary life at the level of military lord, and the cost of cultivating auxiliary life at the level of marquis is obviously too high. Once the second clone dies on the battlefield outside the domain, it will be a big loss!"

"Besides, I am an immortal marquis. Unlike Luo Feng in the original novel, who was only a realm master when he entered the outer battlefield, there is no need for me to spend too much to cultivate auxiliary life to protect myself!"

"For me, the best way is to make the second clone look like an ordinary junior marquis. This way, it will be easier to hone myself and won't attract the covetousness of other powerful people!"

"As for the spaceship and probe, there is no need to buy the best ones. Anyway, when I go to the outer battlefield this time, I will definitely join an elite team to familiarize myself with the situation. I can just use their spaceship and probe first. I won't feel bad even if they die!"

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly ordered the intelligent life form Deep Blue to spend 20 Hunyuan units to purchase a detector with a detection radius of million kilometers. This level of detector is quite precious for a junior Fenghou who has just gone to the battlefield outside the domain.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan spent another 8000 points to purchase four E-class spaceships of good quality.

In addition, there are some auxiliary items, such as detection robots, etc.

Adding all these things together, a total of more than 1.8 million points were spent, which was a huge expense for an ordinary marquis-level primary immortal.

"I hope I won't lose money this time when I go to the battlefield outside the domain!"

After instructing Shenlan to place an order for a lot of supplies, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but think secretly in his heart.

When Lu Qingshan was interacting with Lucius, the Marquis of Storm, and others before, he also learned about some of their experiences.

According to Ross, every time he spends 100,000 years on the battlefield outside the domain, he can generally gain hundreds of thousands of Hunyuan units of wealth. Lucius is stronger than him, and his income every 100,000 years should be able to reach 2 million Hunyuan units.

Of course, sometimes when they encounter a strong enemy, they will burn their immortal power to fight. If they use treasures to recover at that time, it will naturally cost a lot of valuable resources.

"My current strength is almost the same as Lucius before his fall!"

Lu Qingshan thought to himself, "As long as I can stay in the battlefield outside the domain for a full 100,000 years, I should be able to make back my investment. Even if I die then, it won't be a loss!"

Of course, for Lu Qingshan, the most important thing about going to the battlefield outside the domain is to hone himself through life-and-death battles with powerful aliens. As for wealth, it is just a by-product.

As long as it can make his cultivation speed faster, what does it matter even if he loses millions or even tens of millions of Hunyuan Units?
