Devouring the Stars: Soul Master

Chapter 192 Extravagant Purchasing, Second Avatar Emerges

Virtual Universe, Manor No. 114 in the Primal Zone.

In the study room.

A virtual screen was projected in front of Qin Ming, and a new "Backend Management" menu had been added to it.

Click on it, and you'll see three options on the page: "Life" - "Learning" - "Cultivation".

"Life." Qin Ming clicked on it gently.

Suddenly, a large number of options appeared: 'Star map', 'Food', 'Nutrition capsule', 'Habitat', 'Spaceship'... and many more.

Qin Ming glanced through them; they were all solutions to common problems in the Primal Secret Realm. Among them, the 'Nutrition Capsule' was to choose to soak in the nutrient capsule to reach the highest level of this grade.

"Apply!" Qin Ming checked the box and clicked.

beep!
A small screen appeared, displaying a dignified woman in a red robe who smiled and said, "Hello, Your Highness Qin Ming."

Are you requesting to use the nutrient chamber?

"Yes." Qin Ming nodded.

"Your Highness Qin Ming, we will deliver the nutrition capsule to your residence within one day," the woman in the red robe said with a smile.

"Thank you," Qin Ming smiled.

The call is closed.

……

Qin Ming then opened the learning section.

The learning section is divided into 'Theory' and 'Practice'!
The theory is mainly taught in open classes throughout the entire Primal Zone. These classes are usually given by powerful immortal beings, and occasionally by 'Cosmic Kings'!

These courses cover a wide range of topics, including all ten fundamental principles.

Or perhaps some principles of fusion, such as the fusion of earth and space.

There are also some skills courses.

There are also conscious exercise courses.

Qin Ming looked through them all, but most of these courses were not very useful to him.

He now has two teachers.

One is the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, and the other is the lord of darkness.

It wasn't that Qin Ming stopped seeking guidance from the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom after becoming the master of the Lord of Darkness; he frequently sought the Lord of Qianwu Kingdom's answers even within the virtual universe.

Both teachers are extremely capable; either one could easily solve his problem.

Even within the virtual universe, he can enter the Qianwu Secret Realm at any time and communicate with the Thirteen Divine Generals, Alex, and others.

"As a member of the Primal Realm, I can also apply for a mentor to reside permanently in the Primal Realm. I can ask Teacher Dark for advice on this."

Qin Ming thought to himself, "It would be foolish not to use resources!"
Although he already had Quaid, a King-level Soul Master, as his protector, Qin Ming would absolutely not mind having another powerful King-level expert guide him in his understanding of laws, combat, and other aspects.

For example, you can choose a powerful master who is skilled with an axe to teach you melee combat!

He has everything he needs, but he does lack a strong mentor to guide him in close combat.

"And there's practice!"

After opening all the learning options, Qin Ming clicked on Practice.

The Practice section is divided into 'Bridge to Heaven', 'Sea of ​​Illusions', and 'Immortal Altar'.

The page also includes information about the three.

The Tongtian Bridge needs no further explanation.

The Illusionary Sea tests the cultivator's strength of consciousness and willpower!
Consciousness and will are extremely important in cultivation, breaking through bottlenecks, and combat. By passing through the illusion islands, one can obtain a large number of points from each island.

Finally, there's the Immortal Altar, where the test begins!

From 1 unit for pure brute force to 100 units for the body's limits.

This is also a sign of perfect body control.

"I can try both the Illusionary Sea and the Immortal Altar. I should focus on the Illusionary Sea. With my current physical strength, I could have cleared the Immortal Altar long ago."

Qin Ming read through everything. Although his physical amplitude was not as strong as his soul amplitude (32 times), his control over his body was already perfect thanks to his powerful soul amplitude.

Getting the points was just a piece of cake.

……

After viewing the 'Life' and 'Learning' sections in the backend management system, the final item is 'Cultivation'!
After briefly glancing at the cultivation option, Qin Ming closed it.

Like Berlan, he also used up all his Chaos Monument attempts before leaving Chaos City.

I have a lot of thoughts and feelings right now, and I need time to process them.

Qin Ming was very confident in his abilities.

But he would never be arrogant!

Many of his training missions involve formidable enemies, and even he could easily be caught off guard and suffer a setback.

Furthermore, he also needs to soak in the nutrient tank to enhance his strength.

Waiting for the second clone to be born.

"The total points accumulated after clearing the first 13 levels is 8191000. In addition, there are 10 points awarded by the Genius Battle. I only spent 10 points on purchasing the first three volumes of the Dark Codex, leaving me with 8191000 points."

We must also convert that into strength.

With that thought in mind, Qin Ming directly opened the treasure vault and selected the secret techniques category.

The fourth level of "Black Hole Evolution"! 100 million points!
Unlike auxiliary cultivation techniques like the "Dark Codex," the "Black Hole Evolution" is a pure combat technique and the main cultivation technique for the Mountain Giant's clone.

However, like the Dark Codex, the first three levels of Black Hole Evolution are also used to lay the foundation!

The true core secrets begin from the fourth level.

Buying it will significantly enhance the strength of the Mountain Giant's clone.

After entering Chaos City, the Mountain Giant broke through to the Domain Lord level. Over the years, it has continued to devour precious metal ores to increase its strength, and has now reached the sixth level of the Domain Lord level!

Its size is a full 60,000 kilometers high!
In fact, of the more than 60 billion Chaos Units Qin Ming earned from Pan Xi, aside from a portion used to purchase the corpses of World Lord-level Zerg, the vast majority was spent on the Mountain Giant. There was no other way; the Mountain Giant's body was simply too enormous!

In the Qianwu Secret Realm, he relied on consuming the F-grade mineral vein Guiyan Stone Mother and the Star Tear Gold given by his teacher to grow stronger, but after entering Chaos City, he has relied on purchasing metal mineral veins on his own all these years.

This is absolutely a money-devouring beast.

Furthermore, cultivating physical combat techniques like the "Black Hole Battle Body" also requires a massive amount of resources.

If an ordinary human only needs 1 point to cultivate, a mountain giant would need at least 100 million to 1000 million points!
60 billion mixed units seem like a lot, but after giving Luo Feng 1 million mixed units, he only has 3 million mixed units left.

Of course, this also makes the mountain giant extremely terrifying in strength.

Although he was only a sixth-level Domain Lord, he could easily kill ordinary peak Domain Lords even without relying on any treasures or using his innate secret techniques!
Over the past few decades, by devouring precious metal veins, the mountain giant's life gene level has reached 400 times, and its body amplitude has also reached 10 times!
Its basic strength alone is 4000 times greater than that of others of the same level.

In addition, with its high-density body that spans 60,000 kilometers, a single punch could crush an ordinary peak world lord to death.

If one were to wear the Rock Armor and unleash the Absolute Defense talent, weakening the opponent by 1000 times, even an ordinary immortal would probably be unable to break through the defense.

The top-tier treasure set, Bloodrage Battle Axe, combined with the talent arcane spatial vortex, possesses absolutely astonishing destructive power.

"Relying on buying materials to feed the mountain giants is definitely not going to work. We need to enter the mission world and find some rare metal veins for the mountain giants to devour."

Fortunately, the mountain giants aren't picky eaters; they'll take any top-quality ore vein.

With a slight headache, Qin Ming bought "Black Hole Evolution" and then searched for the alchemist's secret techniques in the treasure vault section.

It also marks the bloodline route and the soul potion route.

Pharmacists are a relatively niche profession in the universe.

They are also known as 'space researchers'.

They studied all sorts of strange substances in the universe, investigated the different properties of various substances, and analyzed them.

Then, following his own ideas, he carried out various tedious operations to finally create a potion that suited his needs!
The forms and effects of medicines are also incredibly diverse.

As for their power, they vary in strength.

Some are skilled in bloodline pathways and can create bloodline potions at the domain lord level.

Some are skilled in poisons and can concoct 'Fimor Venom' that can easily kill even a king.

Some concoct special potions for direct use in combat; for example, there is a genius named 'Foolish Wind' among the universe-level members of the Virtual Universe Company.

However, in Qin Ming's opinion, pharmacists are simply not suited for combat.

Applying venom to weapons is fine, but spraying it directly onto enemies like the Foolish Wind Potion, causing negative effects, is rather unwise.

Due to the evolution of life, cosmic-level powerhouses can fight on white dwarfs, ignoring various special cosmic environments; immortal powerhouses are even more astonishing.

The medicine was naturally very ineffective.

This is inherently a research-oriented profession!
Qin Ming did not intend to use potions in battle, but instead relied on the pharmacist's research into the characteristics of all things in the universe to assist in the improvement of his life level and soul!
Only by understanding its essence can we clarify our direction.

Qin Ming is on this path.

At the same time, this is also a process that the future "Divine Power Flow" must go through.

With his own soul perception ability and the characteristics of the third-tier Myriad Soul Banner derived from flesh and blood, Qin Ming was quite confident in taking this path.

As soon as you input your needs, the screen in front of you changes, and more than a dozen books of secret techniques appear in text and illustrations.

The Bloodline Record, valued at 8 points, was created by the top bloodline alchemist 'Yu Chen,' whose main research areas are bloodline enhancement and bloodline potion creation.

Domain Dust Pharmacists are among the few human pharmacists capable of creating Domain Lord-level bloodlines.

"Soul Forging," valued at 7 points, was created by 'Hosh,' an alchemist specializing in soul enhancement.

This top apothecary has long since passed away, but the secret techniques he left behind have been passed down. These techniques are also extremely insightful in their analysis of the soul.

After reviewing all the dozen or so secret techniques, Qin Ming finally spent 15 points to buy both of them.

"Hmm, let's choose another puppeteer's secret technique!"

A glint of light appeared in Qin Ming's eyes. Once he entered the training world, he would definitely release the flesh puppet into battle at crucial moments.

Therefore, some cover-up is needed.

Puppet Masters already existed in the Swallowed Starry Sky, but like Alchemists, this profession was a very niche one with a low skill ceiling.

Basically, no genius is willing to leave.

However, Qin Ming did not intend to pursue a pure puppeteer path, but rather a path of flesh and blood puppetry, which is extremely rare among puppeteers.

The third-tier Myriad Soul Banner Flesh and Blood Derivation Talent can modify the flesh and blood puppets within the Myriad Soul Banner.

Long ago, he wanted to use this talent, along with the powerful souls such as the 'Golden Horned Beast' soul within the Myriad Soul Banner, to create some top-tier puppet units.

Or rather, a follower!
Ordinary flesh and blood puppet units are cannon fodder, but you can create several Servants to assist you in your growth.

The Zerg Queen 'Irina' is one of them.

The Golden Horned Beast can also be considered one.

brush!
After inputting the conditions, very few secret techniques appear.

Qin Ming's attention was quickly drawn to one of them, and he bought it immediately.

"Life Puppet" is worth 6 points.

While called a puppet, the life puppet is actually more like a fanatical life modification technology. To learn this secret technique, one must have an extremely deep understanding of life and bloodlines.

By combining their characteristics, the corpses of some powerful beings are modified and fused to create even more powerful puppet warriors.

It's a perfect match for what Qin Ming needs.

"All complete! The 'Life Puppet' and 'Bloodline Record' can work together, while 'Soul Forging' is also of great help to the special soul techniques."

Looking at the three sets of secret techniques with satisfaction, Qin Ming was in a very pleasant mood.

The Virtual Universe Company's treasure trove is indeed all-encompassing; as long as you have points, you can easily buy whatever you need.

Next, we just have to wait for the secret technique to be obtained.

Once your strength is improved, you can enter the secret realm for training.

"Huh, is the second clone about to be successfully formed?"

　Which secret realm quest should we enter? Do you want to see the original world, or the Bloodlust world?
