Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 208: Only when ownership is yours do you have the right to choose.

"What great news is it?" Chu He separated a sliver of his consciousness and focused it into the world inside the pot.

"Hehe!" Afu laughed heartily and appeared in front of Chuhe in the blink of an eye.

"Master, that Blood Sand Vine is truly a treasure!"

"Hmm?" After Chu He's consciousness entered the world inside the pot, he immediately sensed the ice crystal giant's clone and quickly understood what A Fu meant.

"I can't believe it's possible!" Chu He was overjoyed.

The blood spores produced by the blood sand vine are not only used to cultivate new blood sand vines.

When the blood sand vine is developing blood sand spores, it needs to absorb enough life energy from the life form it parasitizes.

Therefore, these blood spores contain a large amount of life energy.

Using these blood spores as the main ingredient, it is entirely possible to brew a spiritual wine to replenish life energy.

It's roughly equivalent to a general version of "Burning Heart".

【Burning Heart Flame】is brewed primarily from ores of different colors from the Red Lotus Star. It contains a large amount of life energy with fire attributes and can only be used to accelerate the cultivation of "Nine Refinements of Ice Extreme Body".

This life energy spirit wine, brewed primarily from blood sand spores, can provide considerable assistance even when cultivating other body vibration-based secret techniques.

However, if that were all, Afu wouldn't have said he'd made a huge profit, and Chuhe wouldn't have been so overjoyed.

As an authority who has taken various types of [Burning Heart Flame], Chu He is well aware that there are differences between [Burning Heart Flame].

Just like the different intensities of life energy contained in the "Blazing Flame" brewed from different colored ores...

When different levels of life forms parasitize different levels of life, the intensity of life energy contained in the blood sand spores produced by the blood sand vine also varies.

Currently, the white jade wine pot contains Blood Sand Vine ranging from Planetary level to World Lord level, but none have broken through to the Immortal level.

Therefore, even if the Blood Sand Vine parasitizes an immortal-level life form, the life energy intensity contained in the Blood Sand Spores it can produce can only reach the level of a World Lord at most.

Brewing wine with this level of blood sand spores might be profitable, but it wouldn't be of much help to Chu He himself.

However, according to the Ice Crystal Colossus's innate [Spiritual Sense], the Blood Sand Vine absorbed more than just life energy when it parasitized the Ice Crystal Colossus.

The organism's genetic makeup was also imprinted inside the blood sand spores!
However, these are merely the imprints of life's genes. During the process of blood sand spores growing into blood sand vines, they can only affect the blood sand vines of this generation, but cannot be absorbed by the blood sand vines.

Thus, a completely new solution emerged!
The fact that Blood Sand Spores are ineffective is due to a genetic defect in the Blood Sand Vine itself, but it doesn't mean that the Ice Crystal Colossus clones are also helpless.

With the [Spiritual Awareness] talent, the Ice Crystal Colossus clone can be cultivated in a targeted manner!

The talent of [Spiritual Awareness] was originally born from the seed of supernatural power [Spirit Summoning Technique], and naturally possesses all the functions of [Spirit Summoning Technique].

One of them is sensing and guiding the evolutionary direction of spiritual inspiration.

For the past twenty or thirty years, after obtaining the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Wine, Chu He himself drank it while cultivating the Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique, thus reducing the cultivation tasks of his Ice Crystal Giant Avatar clone.

After all, the Ice Crystal Colossus clone is a special energy-based life form and has no soul.

The cultivation of the "Myriad Hearts Controlling Soul Secret Technique" can only be comprehended by the main body alone, and cannot involve the ice crystal giant's clone.

Thus, the Ice Crystal Giant's clone remained inside the white jade wine flask, familiarizing itself with the talent of [Spiritual Awareness] and cultivating spiritual plants with Afu.

Although it can only last for five seconds at a time, it has brought about a tremendous change in the application and understanding of [spiritual awareness].

The three new rare and precious materials, namely the Ghost Scale Fruit Tree, the Jade Fat Flower, and the Heavenly Crystal Grass, were cultivated in this process.

"You mean... through targeted cultivation, it's possible to cultivate Blood Sand Vine into a plant that produces Blood Sand Fruit, rather than Blood Sand Spores..."

"Then, using blood sand fruit and blood sand fruit kernel as the main ingredients respectively, can two types of wine be brewed?"

“That’s right!” The Ice Crystal Colossus clone shared another insight.

"Using Blood Sand Fruit as the main ingredient, we can brew a spiritual wine that replenishes life energy. Once the Blood Sand Vine breaks through to the Immortal realm, it may even be able to brew a spiritual wine that replenishes divine power!"

"And using the Blood Sand Fruit kernel as the main ingredient can brew a spirit wine that enhances the level of life genes, also known as the Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine!"

"This is actually possible?"

Chu He was amazed as he processed the insights gained from the Ice Crystal Giant's clone.

Once the Ice Crystal Colossus clone breaks through to the World Lord level, it will be able to continuously use [Spiritual Awareness] for up to five minutes.

Five minutes was more than enough time for him to try to guide the Blood Sand Vine to evolve in a positive direction.

After gaining a complete understanding of how the Ice Crystal Colossus clone could develop and utilize the [Spiritual Awareness] talent, Chu He was immediately unable to calm down!

From this perspective, it is undoubtedly better for him to break through to the World Lord level as soon as possible.

The only problem is the highest score mission...

Huh! etc!

Chu He suddenly realized that he didn't want to take on this highest-scoring mission in the first place!
He only accepted the challenge because the teacher said there was a special test waiting for him and he could receive many special rewards.

But now, the Domain Lord level is really too low for him, and it has become a constraint!
"I'll go talk to the teacher later and see if I can find a way to end this highest-scoring mission midway, but still get the valuable reward from the Chaos City Lord..."

Chu He rubbed his chin, thinking with a hint of insatiable greed.

"If that doesn't work... then tell us about the Blood Sand Vine, the Blood Sand Fruit, and the Blood Sand Fruit pit, one by one!"

……

Inside the palace of the Ice Peak Lord on Thunder Island.

"You said you want to break through to the Realm Lord level and end the highest score mission ahead of schedule?" The Ice Peak Lord closed his eyes, his expression indifferent.

Tell me why.

"Teacher, I feel that this highest-scoring mission has no real training value for me," Chu He replied respectfully.

"Oh? It's lost its value as a training ground?" The Lord of Ice Peaks suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint in them. "Are you sure you weren't scared off by that Immortal-level Zerg Queen?"

"Of course not!" Chu He replied proudly, "How could I possibly be intimidated by a mere Immortal-level Zerg Queen!"

"Indeed, as you just said, this disciple does not feel any difficulty at all."

The Lord of Ice Peaks sneered, "Two powerful treasures from the highest-scoring mission!"

"Even though the Five-Colored Void Escape Lotus Platform has already been given to you in advance, your senior brother still has a precious treasure that he will only give to you after you complete this highest-score mission!"

"If you don't even want to accomplish this, do you think the rewards of breaking through to the World Lord level are as great as precious treasures?"

"Hmm..." Chu He hesitated for a moment before choosing to answer honestly.

The Lord of Ice Peaks had a pretty good reputation with him.

"Teacher, the benefits I can gain after breaking through to the Realm Lord level should indeed be greater than those of a precious treasure, right?"

Then, Chu He briefly explained the possibility of brewing a spirit wine that could evolve into a World Lord-level bloodline.

"Oh?" Upon hearing this, the Lord of Ice Peaks suddenly laughed. "If that's the case, then there's no need to continue!"

"Huh?" Chu He was stunned for a moment.

He hasn't finished speaking yet!
This Lord-level bloodline evolution spirit wine is nothing compared to what he's really talking about today! The spirit wine that quickly restores the divine body's energy consumption is what he's really focusing on!

Rapidly restoring the body's energy reserves is an ability possessed only by the most precious primordial treasures!
The importance of the Primal Treasure needs no further explanation.

Not to mention the overlord of the universe, even the master of the universe would be tempted.

Moreover, the importance of the Origin Treasure to a race is beyond doubt.

If the human race's treasury contained one more primordial treasure, countless universe lords would come to borrow it.

Unfortunately, the spiritual wine he brews is still limited by the strength level of the Blood Sand Vine.

Blood Sand Fruit, produced by the Immortal-grade Blood Sand Vine, can only be brewed into spiritual wine for Immortal-grade individuals to drink in order to replenish the energy consumed by their divine bodies.

It is not yet possible to truly reach the level of a supreme treasure.

but……

Chu He blinked.

"Judging from what the teacher said... it feels like the teacher assigned this top-level task specifically for this [World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine]?"

"Haha, you guessed right!" the Ice Peak Lord laughed. "My senior brother and I have arranged three places for you. The first is the Wilderness Universe Kingdom, the second is the Dream Snail Universe Kingdom, and the third is the Penggu Universe Kingdom."

"It can be said that most of the top ten races of human bloodline are located in these three universes."

"I didn't expect that you would successfully research this [World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine] in just the first stage of the mission."

Upon hearing this, Chu He was moved by the painstaking efforts of his teacher and the Lord of Chaos City, but he was still somewhat puzzled.

He couldn't help but ask, "Teacher, if it's just for the evolution of the spirit wine for a World Lord-level bloodline, is all this trouble really necessary?"

"Why don't you just allocate a portion of the special resources from these three universes to me so I can conduct research?"

"If all else fails, you could give me a quota of several million Mixed Yuan Units every year so I can buy what I want and do my research properly!"

"You little rascal!" the Lord of Ice Peak laughed and scolded, "You're really getting the better deal and then acting innocent!"

"You own the rights to what you've researched. That's why you can act with such confidence when your senior and I help you get benefits."

“But if my senior brother and I provide the resources, then the ownership belongs to the Virtual Universe Company.”

"At that time, the benefits we can give you will be greatly reduced."

"So that's how it is." Chu He laughed along.

My teacher is really a good friend!
Then I can't keep it too secret!

Come forth! Quickly restore your divine body using spirit-replenishing wine!

"However, Master, I no longer care about such a paltry benefit as the World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine."

Chu He looked up at the Ice Peak Master with a grin and said something surprising: "Teacher, your disciple is currently researching how to quickly replenish the divine body's energy consumption!"

"Moreover, there is already a clear direction."

He then briefly explained his conjectures about the blood sand fruit and its kernel.

"Quickly replenish the divine body's consumption?" The Ice Peak Lord almost stood up!
This incredible effect even surpasses that of a primordial treasure!
However, the Lord of Ice Peak quickly suppressed the trembling in his heart with his strong willpower and calmly replied, "This plan is temporarily shelved. It's too early for you to develop this kind of spiritual wine now."

"I'm afraid it's just a concept, isn't it?"

When the Lord of Ice Peaks said these words, he was both shocked and relieved.

Fortunately, Chuhe currently only has the direction of developing this spirit wine, but has not yet actually developed it.

Otherwise, even if he joined forces with the Lord of Chaos City, he might not be able to protect his disciple.

Even so, the Lord of Ice Peak knew that this thing was far more useful than a mere World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Agent!
For a top-tier clan, the importance of an Immortal is greater than that of ten thousand, or even one hundred thousand or one million World Lords!

If Chuhe can provide enough of this spiritual wine to quickly replenish the divine bodies consumed by those who have been granted the titles of Marquis or even King and the Immortal, then the human race can now increase its offensive on the battlefield outside the domain!

Starting with the Immortals, they gradually increased their investment, forcing the Zerg, the Demon Race, and the Machine Race to also increase the number of Immortals on the extraterritorial battlefield.

If this continues, the immortals of the human race can quickly recover with the help of spirit wine, and may even be able to sustain themselves through war, seeking breakthroughs.

The other three races, however, have to keep bleeding...

Given the efficacy of this spirit wine, if it could be mass-produced, it could certainly serve as one of the fundamental treasures of the human race.

"Teacher, you have a keen eye." Chu He replied respectfully.

"For Blood Sand Spores to brew a spirit wine that can truly and quickly restore the body's energy, Blood Sand Vine must absorb the life energy of an immortal being."

"The ratio between the two is roughly one to one."

"However, once the disciple breaks through to the Realm Lord level, he can use the innate secret technique of [Spiritual Perception] to modify the Blood Sand Vine to a certain extent, transforming it from a fern into an angiosperm, so that it can not only parasitize but also absorb cosmic energy to grow on its own."

"In this way, with the Blood Sand Fruit and its kernel, one can brew spirit wine that restores the body's energy consumption and spirit wine that promotes bloodline evolution, respectively."

“It is indeed a very clear goal.” The Lord of Ice Peaks nodded. “However, we’ll discuss the specifics of the research once you return.”

"Alright, where are you now?"

Without waiting for Chu He's reply, the Lord of Ice Peak spoke again, "Never mind, Bai Feng is with you, isn't she?"

“I’ll have him bring you back directly.”

"It's too dangerous for you to be wandering around outside like this."

……

In the dark universe, an indigo spaceship is traveling at 50 times the speed of light.

Inside the Blue Star lounge.

Eighth Legion Commander Berendir and Roy sat across the Chu River, about to drink.

Suddenly, Chu He's expression changed drastically.

Before they could ask any questions, a cosmic venerable one dressed in a moon-white robe suddenly appeared.

Without saying a word, with a wave of his sleeve, he swept Chu He and the Blue Star into the World Ring.

Only Berendil and Roy remained physically in the dark universe, gazing at the pitch-black cosmic sky around them, unaware of what had happened.

Fortunately, as immortals, their physical bodies could still enter the dark universe without any problems.

I'm just a little confused.

Seeing Roy's anxious expression, Berendil comforted him, "That Venerable One is protecting Your Highness; you should be alright."

However, that wasn't what Roy cared about at all.

"Your Highness, wait for me! I haven't boarded the spaceship yet!"
