Qin Ming had a very pleasant conversation with Night King, Star Illusion King, and others. Occasionally, other powerful alien races would come over to greet him, which greatly increased Qin Ming's network of friends.

In the Yanji Continent, it's difficult to even encounter a King, but in Hongmeng City, they're everywhere!

Many of these people were members of the Star Tower and extended invitations to Qin Ming.

“King Qu Wu, I will definitely go to the Star Tower. However, I will need to wait a while longer, as I have some matters to attend to in the Yanji Continent region.”

Qin Ming said to a human King-level expert not far away who was also a King-level expert at the limit, who had been frequenting the Star Tower for many years.

I also have some impression of him, Qin Ming. He perished in the original timeline when he was competing with Luo Feng for the treasure that gave birth to the Star Tower.

He's very capable and a good person, but he's just unlucky.

"Haha, it's a deal then! Just come find me when the time comes. With your strength, you'll definitely shine in the Star Tower."

King Qu Wu laughed heartily, "The Star Tower is the high-end battlefield in the outer realms!"

It is the main activity area for powerful figures who have been granted the title of King.

"King Yuanyue, this is your first time visiting Hongmeng City. Let me show you around. There are many good things here that might greatly increase your strength."

After chatting for a while and becoming acquainted with most of the people, King Yechen said.

King Yechen is fierce and bloodthirsty, and he doesn't easily accept people as friends, but once he recognizes someone as a friend, he is very generous.

Qin Ming's powerful kills in the mechanical race camp earned his deep respect.

"Haha, let's go take a look. I'll trouble you, King Ye Chen. I'm also really looking forward to Hongmeng City."

Qin Ming said with a smile.

"When I first arrived, I used up all my resources! There are so many good things here."

"That's right, the treasures inside are things that are rarely seen outside."

"..."

The powerful figures all smiled. This was the strongest alliance among the human race. With enough resources, almost any treasure could be purchased here.

Many treasures are not even stored in the treasure troves of humankind.

Under the leadership of King Yechen, Qin Ming also began to wander around the Hong Alliance.

Hongmeng City is a city where even the lowest-ranking residents possess the strength of a king. As a city where countless powerful individuals gather, it is naturally very developed, and scenes that are rarely seen in ordinary times can be seen everywhere here.

Large spaceship trade.

Plant life, metal life trading.

The strong hire business.

Special items treasure appraisal business.

Large auction houses.

All kinds of things, as long as you have money, you can have them all!
King Yechen pointed to the rows of enormous shops in the distance.

"There are limits on the number of shops in Hongmeng City. These shops can only be built if the owner is a Universe Venerable, and they also have to pay huge amounts of taxes."

In Hongmeng City this year, even those who are granted the title of King are not qualified to open shops!

Qin Ming nodded to indicate that he understood.

Here, even being crowned a king is just the lowest level; only the supreme beings of the universe have the right to speak.

"Since this is your first time here, there's one place you absolutely must check out."

That's the best establishment in Hongmeng City... called 'Yubao Hall,' supposedly owned by the human temple master among the Hongmeng's temple masters."

King Yechen pointed to one of the two-story palaces, which was several kilometers long.

"Yu Baotang?"

Qin Ming followed the line of sight and saw a two-story palace that was several kilometers long and wide.

He had not only heard of Yu Baotang's great name.

They also knew that it was run by the Lord of Dragon Journey. In the original timeline, Luo Feng bought a golden armor from this Yu Bao Hall, and because of this, the Lord of Dragon Journey even went directly to the Lord of Chaos City.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Qin Ming also became interested. This was the highest-level trading place among humankind; there might be some treasures in such a place that could help him improve his strength.

Soon, the two arrived at their destination.

Upon entering Yu Bao Tang, Qin Ming saw countless treasures stretching to the horizon, each accompanied by a blueprint.

The drawings included videos, pictures, and textual information, detailing the origins, special features, and prices of the treasures being sold.

None of the treasures I saw were worth less than a million Hunyuan.

Many of them have assets worth hundreds of billions.

As a disciple of the Lord of the Universe, Qin Ming held an extremely high position and authority within the virtual universe, yet this was the first time he had ever seen so many treasures.

After all, no matter how high his authority was in the past, he was only a realm lord.

Moreover, selecting items from the treasure vault is merely a catalog, far less impressive than viewing them directly.

"That's an exaggeration."

Qin Ming considered himself to have some wealth, but seeing such extravagant treasures still left him somewhat in awe.

"Haha, this is still the first floor!"

"The real treasures are all on the second floor. Moreover, the real treasures cannot be purchased with Hunyuan; they must be obtained through a barter system using other treasures."

King Yechen smiled and pointed to the stairs on one side.

"However, you need qualifications to go up to the second floor, either a four-star existence or even a higher existence."

Alternatively, one must have deposits exceeding 1000 billion Mixed Yuan Units in the First Bank of the Universe or the Galaxy Bank of the Universe. Only those meeting either of these conditions are eligible to go to the second floor.

"Capital verification?"

Qin Ming smiled. His strength was a bit short of four-star, but he still had some net worth.

Even though most of them had been spent, he still had nearly a hundred treasure points left.

"That's right. After all, such treasures are too valuable. If you don't have enough wealth, there's not much point in looking at them."

Moreover, there are some special treasures in the universe that are extremely rare, and some are even unique, making it impossible to determine their price.

Bartering is the only option.

Qin Ming nodded; Hunyuan was very precious for someone who had been granted the title of King.

However, at the level of a Cosmic Venerable, its usefulness diminishes. The currency for trade becomes the clan's contribution points, also known as Treasure Points or Supreme Treasure Points. One Treasure Point is worth ten trillion Chaos Yuan!

"I'll take a look on the first floor first. I think I saw quite a few good things just now, even the remains of special life forms!"

Qin Ming said.

Upon seeing the remains of these powerful life forms, a thought struck him.

He currently has 21 times the genetic power of his human origin and 100 times the power of Bloodlust, which can reach 2100 times after activation.

However, the genetic multiplication of the human being is forcibly increased through powerful soul feedback.

this is not right.

The best way would be to extract the essence of flesh and blood from the corpses of powerful beings, especially special beings, to increase the gene count of the body.

This is the fastest way.

This is a great opportunity to significantly increase the genetic diversity of the human being.

Furthermore, the Myriad Soul Banner's Flesh and Blood Evolution talent allows it to analyze the essence of life, enabling it to purchase the remains of these powerful beings and thus facilitate its progress in the path of divine power.

Immediately, Qin Ming walked to the counter, where he saw the remains of special life forms.

Qin Ming soon discovered a piece of black scale armor, about ten meters in diameter, covered in flesh and blood.

Although it was just a piece of bloodstained scales, the aura emanating from it was extremely fierce, and tiny flashes of lightning occasionally appeared.

Qin Ming examined it carefully, then looked at the detailed text description on the drawing next to him.

"The remains of a special life form, the 'Purple Lightning Ape,' at the World Lord level, with a life gene level 50 times greater!"

Price: 32 billion Mixed Yuan Units.

Qin Ming's eyes lit up as he read the introduction.

This is a special life form related to lightning and time. Although its gene multiplication rate is not very high, extracting its flesh and blood essence would be of great use to oneself.

"wanted!"

Qin Ming immediately thought to himself that 32 billion Hunyuan was not a low price. The total value of a typical King was only about 10 billion Hunyuan.

"Yes, this is the remains of a special immortal life form of metal type. It's not cheap either, worth 48 billion Hunyuan, with a gene multiplier of 40."

Looking at them one by one, Qin Ming was itching to make a move.

The lowest price for special life remains is several million mixed units, while the most expensive can reach hundreds of billions!
The reason is simple.

Since some only have a few missing hairs, scales, etc., their value is naturally not high.

After all, any special life form is extremely large, and it would take hundreds of millions of hairs and scales to dissect it.

Some are relatively complete.

For example, Qin Ming saw a pair of wings of a special life form, the Wind and Thunder Winged Tiger.

Although the life level is only 30 times that of the creature, the wings are very well preserved, with flesh, bones, and feathers all relatively intact.

Its value directly reached an astonishing 800 billion Hunyuan!

It is an excellent material for crafting flying wing treasures. If it were in the hands of a powerful weapon refiner, it would be possible to forge a great treasure.

Whether used to prepare special medicines or as materials for refining weapons, the remains of special life forms are extremely valuable.

In particular, the metal and rock-like remains of special life forms often possess unique abilities and can even be used to forge precious treasures or even supreme treasures!
Its value is naturally immeasurable.

After quickly scanning the area, Qin Ming became increasingly excited. This would definitely allow his human genes to achieve a leap in multiplication, resulting in a surge in strength!

……

As he was strolling around, Qin Ming's gaze was suddenly drawn to a set of eight-meter-tall golden battle armor. The moment he saw this strange golden battle armor, Qin Ming immediately thought of 'soldier armor' and 'general armor'.

Qin Ming walked up, and there was a detailed description on the blueprint next to the golden armor.

Just as he had guessed.

This golden armor was captured during an extraterrestrial war. Its original owner was a powerful expert of the Flame God Clan, a King-level expert whose strength was extremely high. Dozens of human King-level experts had fallen at his hands.

Then, he was killed by the Cosmic Venerable in a large-scale war!

Under normal circumstances, cosmic sovereigns cannot intervene in extraterrestrial battlefields, except during race wars that occur once every 1000 epochs!

Ordinary battles are just training.

The inter-tribal wars that occur every 1000 epochs are the real meat grinders, where even the most invincible kings can perish if they are not careful.

Even some unfortunate cosmic beings will perish.

This King of the Flame God Clan was too reckless on the battlefield and was directly killed by the human Universe Venerable, turning into ashes. However, the golden armor he wore remained completely undamaged.

"It really is Wang Jia!"

After carefully reading the introduction, Qin Ming shook his head.

If it is a powerful member of the Yan God Clan, or Luo Feng after cultivating the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual, as long as he refines it, he can possess 100,000 times the power of a World Lord!
Furthermore, physical attacks below 10 times the power of a Realm Lord will be completely blocked by the King Armor, and soul attacks below the peak of the King-Sealing Realm will also be completely blocked by the King Armor.

Even an attack with more than 100,000 times the power of a World Lord would be weakened by more than 90%.

Wearing this set of King Armor grants complete immunity to peak King-level attacks, making you fearless even against King-level limit or King-level invincible opponents.

Unfortunately, he can't use it.

This set of golden armor is beyond the refinement of powerful humans, and therefore cannot be changed in size or integrated into their bodies!
Furthermore, it is completely solidified, making movement difficult when wearing it.

Add to that an extremely high price tag—50 billion mixed units.

It's just that the Lord of Dragons is fishing behind the scenes, seeing if anyone can use it.

"If we really want to use it, it's not impossible. There are also powerful members of the Flame God Clan who have entered the outer battlefield. We can find one, kill him, and refine him into a Soul Clan member."

You'll naturally find it useful.

"But that's too much trouble. Let Luo Feng refine it later."

After examining it carefully, Qin Ming stopped looking at it.

After betraying the human race by following the Yan Emperor, the Yan God Clan occupied a secret realm, joined the Nine Domains Alliance, and harbored extreme hatred towards humans.

They frequently send powerful individuals into extraterritorial battlefields to confront humans.

"In the future, we can go and hunt down some powerful members of the Yan God Clan."

This is the first group of people trained by Zuo Shan Ke. Their physical potential is enormous, and they have the opportunity to reach the third level of the Divine Power Flow!
This is also a shortcut for those who want to pursue a divine power-based approach.
