Swallowing the Stars Starts with the Brewing Master

Chapter 212 Obtaining the World Tree Branches

After logging into the virtual universe, Chu He immediately appeared at his manor on Yuxiang Mountain.

In the quiet study on the third floor of the small building, Chu He was just about to teleport directly to the temple of the Ice Peak Master on Thunder Island when he saw an email being sent.

"Huh? Luo Feng's email?" Chu He was surprised for a moment, then immediately opened the email.

"Oh? You've already arrived in Chaos City, chosen a place to stay, and are you planning to invite me over..."

"It took ten years to study the Blood Sand Vine, which is about the same amount of time."

Chu He shook his head: "Let's go see the teacher first."

"He'll probably stay in Chaos City for over a thousand years this time, so we'll have plenty of time to meet in the future!"

"And..." Chu He suddenly thought of something, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his eyes, "Shouldn't he also become the disciple of the Chaos City Lord this time he comes to Chaos City?"

Although Chu He had given Luo Feng a sufficient amount of [Azure Heaven Tyrant Blood] long ago, which raised Luo Feng's life gene level to a hundredfold.

Just like Hong and Thor.

However, the news that the three people's life gene level had been increased by a hundredfold had long been suppressed by their teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, and outsiders had no way of knowing it.

Therefore, before Luo Feng truly broke through the Heavenly Bridge and fully displayed his talent, he was not accepted as a disciple by other universe venerables.

On the contrary, Hong and Lei Shen, after conquering the Heavenly Mountain, performed exceptionally well in the [Primordial Secret Realm] cosmic-level qualification battle, attracting the attention of several King-level Immortals.

During their last meeting at Wanyu Tower, the two mentioned this matter. Hong had become a disciple of a King-level Immortal named "Chasing Shadow King," while Lei Shen had become a disciple of a King-level Immortal named "Thunder Prison King."

Relying on his authority, Chu He searched for information about these two immortal kings, and found that it was in line with Hong and Lei Shen's cultivation direction, so he didn't say anything more.

Anyway, it's not like you can only become an apprentice once.

Having a good teacher can make the early stages of your journey smoother.

When Chuhe feels strong enough in the future, he can also lead a few people to venture into the Illusionary Sea.

At that time, even stronger individuals will naturally vie to take on disciples.

As Chu He knows now, with Luo Feng's current strength, as long as he crosses the Tongtian Bridge, he will probably come directly into the sights of the Chaos City Lord.

"Then... he'll be my junior brother!"

Chuhe closed the email with a smile.

Because of the highest score mission, Luo Feng now has less goodwill towards the Virtual Universe Company and is probably hesitant about whether to show his talent.

"After I see the teacher, I'll give you some pointers!"

……

At the entrance of the Ice Peak Lord's temple on Thunder Island, Chu He's figure appeared in the blink of an eye.

He immediately pushed open the door and walked quickly to the center of the main hall.

"Teacher," Chu He bowed respectfully, "this disciple has successfully cultivated the Blood Sand Vine."

"However, because it is still early, the Blood Sand Vine is currently only at the Domain Lord level. With the disciple's tireless efforts to accelerate its growth, it has just produced 100 Blood Sand Fruits."

"This disciple has analyzed and verified that, using Blood Sand Fruit as the main ingredient, and supplementing it with some materials rich in life energy, such as Lan Ke Fruit, Life Fruit, etc., it is possible to brew a Domain Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine."

"Once the Blood Sand Vine advances to the World Lord level, it will be able to brew World Lord level bloodline evolution spirit wine."

His words were clear and logical, yet spoken extremely quickly!

In a very short time, Chu He reported all of his research findings.

Then, he looked longingly at the Ice Peak Lord on the throne.

I'm hungry, I want a reward!
"Oh? It's only been ten years since you broke through to the World Lord realm, and you've already successfully developed it?"

The Lord of Ice Peaks didn't inquire about the Blood Sand Vine in detail at all; instead, he frowned slightly.

"If I remember correctly, if you want to study the Blood Sand Vine, you need to use the new talent that your Ice Crystal Colossus clone has, right?"

"In that case... wouldn't you have not cultivated at all during these ten years?"

Although it was clearly a question, Chu He felt no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he felt quite at ease.

This teacher is really looking out for him!
He wasn't treated as a tool.

"Teacher, after this, I intend to devote myself to cultivation and no longer study these things."

Upon hearing this, the Lord of Ice Peak nodded slightly and said, "Yes, that's exactly right."

"The Realm Lord level is arguably the most important stage in one's entire cultivation journey!"

"Since you have an avatar of a special life form like the Ice Crystal Colossus, and your understanding of the fluctuations of the laws is clearer, you should seize this time to cultivate."

"As for the rest, you can study them after you have cultivated to a certain level or broken through to immortality."

"Yes, disciple will follow your teachings, teacher." Chu He said solemnly and bowed respectfully.

"Good attitude." The Lord of Ice Peak relaxed a little and said softly, "Since you're here today, then... I'll give you everything I prepared for you today."

With that, the Lord of Ice Peaks waved his hand.

Bang!

A huge iron box, ten meters long, wide, and high, landed straight inside the temple.

Boom!

The next moment, two iron doors on the side of the metal box suddenly opened with a bang.

Chu He looked closely and realized that they were all secret manuals!

A huge iron box, ten meters long, ten meters wide, and ten meters high, with a total volume of one thousand cubic meters, was filled to the brim with secret manuals!
"This!" Chu He was stunned and speechless.

It's a secret technique!
Aren't secret manuals usually kept in briefcases?
Who would be so kind as to use such a large metal box to store secret manuals?
"You are currently at the Realm Lord level, which is the time when your comprehension of laws is fastest. Especially with the Ice Crystal Colossus clone and a life gene level that has reached a hundred times, your comprehension of laws will undoubtedly be incredibly clear."

"Therefore, if you want to create your own secret techniques, you can look at more secret manuals!"

"Look, all of these are yours." The Lord of Ice Peak pointed to the metal box in the main hall, a hint of smug satisfaction in his eyes.

"By the time you've finished reading through these secret techniques, you'll probably be close to mastering them."

Chu He stared at the thousand-cubic-meter manual, opening his mouth several times.

At this moment, Chuhe even recalled the scene when he received a whole set of "Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Three Years of Simulation" as a red envelope during the Chinese New Year in his previous life.

God knows how desperate he felt when he pulled out an entire set of "53" from that huge red envelope!
At that moment, at this moment.

Chu He's eyes were ashen, his lips trembled, and he finally spoke: "Teacher, these secret manuals... I can exchange for them myself."

There was something else on his mind that he didn't say aloud: "Isn't it unnecessary to give so many secret techniques as a reward?"

The Lord of Ice Peak's face hardened, and he rebuked, "You? What can you do with your mere forty billion points?"

"A single set of even slightly valuable secret manuals could wipe out all your points."

"As my disciple, how can you create your own unique skills if you don't take the powerful methods of the truly super beings in the universe as a reference!"

"Do you think you can afford to exchange those powerful secret techniques with your four billion points?"

After Chu He broke through to the Realm Lord level, the rewards for his previous breakthroughs in the Universe-level Primal Tongtian Mountain and the Domain Lord-level Primal Tongtian Mountain were credited to his account.

Three billion points, plus one hundred million points, plus the nine hundred million points left over that weren't spent, that makes a total of four billion...

It actually received a "mere" evaluation...

He really wanted to argue!
But he couldn't utter a sound at all.

The one who said this was, after all, the Lord of Ice Peak. In the eyes of such a being, four billion points was nothing more than "mere trifles"!

Chu He lowered his head, listening to the reprimand from his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak.

"Come here and take a closer look!" Before the Lord of Ice Peak finished speaking, one after another secret manuals floated out of the iron box.

Chu He looked at it intently.

More than 10,000 secret manuals floated past him one by one and then floated back to their original positions.

These manuals can be roughly divided into two categories. The thinner ones are about 20 centimeters thick.

In addition, there are many enormous manuals, each one meter long, one meter wide, and half a meter thick, all made of dark gold metal.

This enormous manual, forged from dark gold metal, alone occupies nearly half the volume of the metal box.

"Here are ten thousand common secret techniques and eighty sets of precious books." The Lord of the Ice Peak pointed to the upper and lower halves of the metal box.

"Those ten thousand sets of ordinary secret techniques books are cheap; they only cost tens of millions of points in total. Seventy percent of them are secret technique research books, mainly to provide you with some reference."

"The remaining 30% includes manuals related to pharmacists, beast tamers, puppeteers, hunters, martial artists, and more. It contains manuals related to most professions in the universe."

"Of course, creating new secret techniques usually requires creating one's own unique weapon. Therefore, these manuals also contain relevant information about weapon-making blacksmiths."

Chu He's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

These 10,000 sets of secret techniques seem to cover all aspects.

Anyway, he plans to cultivate in seclusion in Chaos City from now on.

The reward has been changed to a cheat code, so let it be a cheat code.

With so many secret manuals, he will surely benefit greatly in the future.

After listening to the Ice Peak Lord's introduction of the ten thousand ordinary manuals, Chu He's gaze shifted to the dark gold manual that occupied nearly half the volume of the metal box.

"As for these 80 sets... although they are only worth 50 to 60 billion points, they are of the greatest use to you."

"Five or six hundred billion?" Chu He's mind was instantly filled with this number, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

day!
Five or six hundred billion points!

Even a king who has achieved immortality still has a total net worth of less than 10 billion points.

Even the ultimate king, the invincible king, has a total fortune of only this amount.

Even disregarding their actual value, five or six hundred billion points, just based on the exchange rate of one Hunyuan unit to one point, still amount to five or six hundred billion Hunyuan units!

Five or six hundred billion mixed units!
In the original novel, half of the Earth's ownership was taken by the Virtual Universe Company, but Luo Feng was only given 50 billion Chaos Units.

The money will only arrive after Luo Feng breaks through to the Immortal Realm.

Considering all this, it's not a bad deal that I received a reward of this value for this World Lord-level bloodline evolution spirit wine.

Seeing Chu He's stunned expression for a moment, the Lord of Ice Peak laughed loudly, "What, are you scared already?"

"I haven't given you my 'Heavenly Frost Ice Extreme Secret Manual' yet!"

"The Heavenly Frost Ice Extreme Secret Manual?" Chu He's breathing quickened immediately.

Unlike the "True Explanation of Profound Ice," which is merely an aid to the "Ice Peak Chaos Stele," the "Heavenly Frost Ice Extreme Secret Manual" is a pure combat-oriented secret technique manual.

Among them are hundreds of combat techniques, and even some of the ultimate skills used by cosmic masters!

The "Nine Refinements of Ice Extreme Body" and "Ice Pivot Concentration Technique" that Chu He once practiced both came from this "Heavenly Frost Ice Extreme Secret Manual".

Unexpectedly, the teacher revealed the entire set of secret techniques today.

This reward is incredibly generous!
"Thank you, teacher." Chu He bowed again.

"Yes, you must work hard in the future." The Lord of Ice Peak nodded. "Remember, if you are not strong enough, no matter how much value you can create, you will only be doing the work for others."

"Yes, I will remember it well," Chu He replied earnestly.

He was well aware of this.

"Alright, let's talk about the Blood Sand Vine next." The Lord of Ice Peak sat up straight. "You hand over the Blood Sand Vine and the brewing recipe. What reward do you want?"

"Huh?" Chu He was truly dumbfounded.

My gaze fell on the huge metal box.

No!

So, the thousand cubic meters of secret manuals weren't the reward?

In that instant, Chuhe suddenly felt as if a new path had opened up before him.

After opening the huge red envelope and revealing the "53" textbook inside, I was surprised to find that there was more on the back!

This time, however, it's a real red envelope!

"Hahahaha!" The Lord of Ice Peak clearly noticed Chu He's gaze and laughed loudly, "You are my personal disciple, and I don't even give you a few secret manuals. How can I call you my teacher?"

"Alright, tell me, what reward do you want?"

"Hmm..." Chu He hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Teacher, I wish to create a new clone, so..."

"A new clone?" The Lord of Ice Peaks closed his eyes in deep thought.

The main hall fell silent immediately.

After a long while, the Lord of Ice Peak suddenly opened his eyes: "I just had a discussion with my senior brother."

"The clones you desire, whether it be the World Tree or the Frost Whale, are beings with the combat power of a cosmic lord."

"With your World Lord-level bloodline evolving into a spirit wine..." The Ice Peak Lord shook his head, "you can only exchange it for one."

"Phew!" Chu He breathed a long sigh of relief. "I thank you, Master, for the branches and leaves of the World Tree."

When he saw the teacher shake his head, he thought it was all over!

Chu He would be very content to have been able to exchange for one.

Those are branches and leaves of the World Tree!

Only the human race, one of the six most powerful races in this primordial universe, has the opportunity to trade with him.

Only through the efforts of his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peak, was he able to exchange this World Lord-level bloodline evolution spirit wine for branches and leaves of the World Tree.

An avatar with the potential to break through to the level of the Lord of the Universe.

The gap between the Lord of the Universe and the Lord of a Realm is simply too great!

Tell any one of the six supreme races of the primordial universe that if they could exchange all the existing world lords within their race for a universe lord...

Even if it were just a possibility to break through to become the Lord of the Universe, probably no race would object.

It's not just the six top clans; powerful clans and even ordinary clans would probably vie for such an opportunity.

Having the branches of the World Tree doesn't guarantee a breakthrough to becoming a Universe Master; sufficient time is still required.

For example, the Ancestral Tree Venerable has an avatar of the World Tree, and currently only possesses the combat power of an ordinary universe lord, having not yet truly broken through.

But his Blood Sand Vine also needs enough time to produce a sufficient quantity of World Lord-level Bloodline Evolution Spirit Wine!
Even if we don't calculate based on this actual value, but rather on the time cost Chu He spent acquiring these two items through his own abilities, Chu He still made a profit.

How long did it take him to cultivate a Blood Sand Vine? And in the process of cultivating a Blood Sand Vine, apart from being a bit tiring, there was absolutely no danger.

If one were to go to the Ancestral Mystic Realm in their true form and use the Ice Crystal Giant Avatar to simulate Luo Feng's past actions, the time cost and the level of danger would undoubtedly be much greater.

Chu He was content to exchange the Blood Sand Vine for branches and leaves of the World Tree.

Looking at his teacher, the Lord of Ice Peaks, on the throne, Chu He was filled with gratitude and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you, teacher."

"Alright, stop nagging and get out of here. In a while, someone will send the World Tree branches and leaves to Chaos City."

"Yes, the disciple retire."
