Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 304 Exchanging Treasures, End of the First Era
As Qi Yuan stepped into the palace gate, time and space instantly shifted, and a vast world appeared before his eyes.

In the boundless world, many soldiers are scattered everywhere, and in front of each soldier is a golden figure.

Whoosh!
A golden figure instantly materialized and descended in front of Qi Yuan.

“Soldier of the Mingxiao Army, you have a mission to complete and are not allowed to come to the supply depot to exchange for any items.” The golden figure looked at Qi Yuan.

"My mission is complete."

With a wave of his hand, Qi Yuan conjured up three enormous, coiled corpses of mythical beasts beside him: a giant blood python nearly a million kilometers long with a single golden horn, a blue octopus with thousands of enormous tentacles, and a golden shellfish beast as majestic as an endless mountain range.

Peng! Peng! Peng!
The moment the three enormous corpses of true gods landed, the other soldiers in the distance were slightly startled. Some soldiers around turned their heads to look, and when they saw the corpses of these strange beast true gods, they exclaimed in amazement.

hum-

The golden figure's eyes shot out golden light, enveloping the three corpses of the alien beast gods, as well as the luminous white bead with streams of water flowing on its surface that floated above the corpses.

The golden figure nodded slightly: "The three true god corpses have been confirmed as true gods of the Nine Fiends Sea. Meng Hezhu has also been verified. Mingxiao Army soldier, your reincarnation-level mission is complete, worth 50,000 military merits."

"You can use these 50,000 military merits to exchange for weapons, machinery, inheritances, and everything else on the list."

The golden figure looked at Qi Yuan and said, "If you have any other treasures, you can also offer them to the army in exchange for military merits."

"This is the list."

As soon as the golden figure finished speaking, a huge light screen appeared in front of Qi Yuan. The screen contained a detailed list of a large number of treasures, which was exactly the same as what he had seen when he exchanged treasures last time.

"Fifty thousand military merits? If a true god's corpse is worth ten thousand military merits, then this Menghe Pearl is worth twenty thousand military merits, which is more valuable than a true god's corpse?"

Qi Yuan secretly admired it, then looked at the golden figure and said calmly, "I need to offer my treasures first."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and flicked it, and a circular storage item immediately appeared in front of him.

This circular storage item is a common spatial item in the Jin world. It contains some of the most powerful treasures that Qi Yuan brought from the outside world.

Over the past eight million years, Qi Yuan's personal disciples have successively broken through to new heights, and in addition, batches of outstanding 'nominal disciples' have continued to grow in the Myriad Paths Academy. Through the system's return function, Qi Yuan has obtained a large number of supreme treasures from them!

Even if all the universe lords of the human race were armed with those immense treasures, they would still not be able to use them all.

With the opening of the Jin World, Qi Yuan can use the supreme treasures produced by these systems to exchange for valuable treasures and rare resources that can be given as gifts again in the Jin World, thereby creating greater benefits for himself!

brush!
The golden figure raised its hand and waved, and a beam of golden light landed on the round bracelet that Qi Yuan had taken out.

After a brief investigation, the golden figure's voice rang out:

"Soldier of the Mingxiao Army, you need to contribute 86 pieces of True God-level equipment, including 33 weapons, 26 armors, 8 domains, 8 soul defenses, and 11 palaces, which will earn you 1025 million military merits; and contribute 12 pieces of Void True God-level equipment, including 4 weapons, 3 armors, and 5 palaces, which will earn you 960 million military merits, for a total of 1985 million military merits. Confirm your contribution?"

"1985 million military merits!"

Qi Yuan's eyes lit up with joy. "Nearly 20 million military merits are enough for me to exchange for a lot of good things. Moreover, this is my first time entering the Jin World. I only brought a small portion of the many treasures returned by the system. When the Jin World's membrane weakens in the next era and I can enter and exit, I can bring in more!"

If he remembers correctly, in the original story, Luo Feng passed the title-level mission test left by the God King of Jin in the second era after entering the Jin world, and gained a status on par with the four generals.

With this fellow villager around, there shouldn't be too much worry about bringing out too many treasures and attracting the attention of the military's higher-ups.

Of course, if he could raise his divine body level to the third level, which is more than 9 times higher, and solve 10018 cases of the Rhinoceros Emperor's Game, he could directly obtain the title of the World of Advancement. In that case, he would have enough status to deal with everything.

He temporarily suppressed his thoughts and nodded to the golden figure, saying, "I confirm that I will contribute the treasure."

brush!
As his voice fell, the circular storage item floating in front of him was immediately enveloped in a golden light and then disappeared.

The golden phantom looked at Qi Yuan: "Mingxiao Army soldier, the treasure contribution is complete. You have gained 1985 million military merits. Your current total remaining military merits are 1992 million (plus 5 from the reincarnation-level mission and 2 left from the last exchange). You can exchange for any treasure or inheritance in the list."

"This is the moment we've been waiting for!"

Qi Yuan smiled and nodded. "I'd like to take a look at the True God-level weapons and armor first." "Sure."

The golden figure responded, and the list on the light screen changed again.

At this moment, each name on the light screen is accompanied by an image of a weapon or armor, the required military merits, and the permissions granted.

Qi Yuan glanced at it.

"A true god-level battle armor would require approximately 10,000 military merits to acquire."

"True god-level weapons vary in quality. The lower-level ones can be obtained with two thousand military merits, while the higher-level ones require a million military merits."

"A true god-class warship requires at least 50,000 military merits."

Qi Yuan looked at them one by one.

Obviously, palace-type supreme treasures are the most expensive, followed by soul-type supreme treasures, which require at least 30,000 military merits. Then come domain-type, armor-type, and finally attack-type treasures.

Of course, there are special ones in each category, either of which are of excellent quality or have certain special functions, and their value will be higher.

For attack-type battles, the highest level requires a million military merits, while other types like armor and palace battles also require over a million military merits.

Moreover, even for the same treasure, the military merits required to obtain it through contribution and the military merits required to exchange it are different. For example, if Qi Yuan contributes a True God Armor to the military supply point, he can only obtain 10,000 military merits. However, if he wants to exchange it, he needs 12,000 military merits.

"My nearly 20 million military merits can be exchanged for a lot of supreme treasures! And once I return to the Cosmic Sea, I can select suitable disciples to give them away, which will immediately increase the value of these treasures thousands of times!"

"Oh, and there's the mechanical treasure; that's a real gem."

Qi Yuan carefully examined the list, looking at weapons and armor, mechanical treasures, and even some special inheritance lists and travelogues from the Jin world, spending a whole day in total.

The golden figure standing in front of him showed no impatience whatsoever.

As he reviewed the information, Qi Yuan gradually developed a detailed exchange plan in his mind.

"20 True God-level weapons, 20 pieces of armor, 5 each of True God-level domain, soul, and palace treasures, plus 30 mechanical treasures of various types, including auxiliary, offensive, and flight protection treasures, as well as various precious resources for improving aptitude and comprehension, refining treasures, and brewing potions."

Qi Yuan quickly selected from the list.
After he had squandered all of his nearly 20 million military merits, his storage items now contained a large number of 'ultimate treasures' and a large amount of rare resources that were hard to find in the cosmic sea.

After returning to the Mingxiao Army's garrison from the main hall of the military depot, Qi Yuan first spent some time familiarizing himself with the few mechanical treasures he had just exchanged that were suitable for his use, and then began to devote himself to studying them.

During his trip to the Nine Fiends Sea, he obtained biological samples such as the blood of tens of thousands of True Gods, which were then put into the Chaos Pearl that accompanied his Jade Purity Avatar.

As Yuqing's clone's 'creation' ability was constantly in operation, the biological samples in the Chaos Pearl were being decomposed and analyzed at an extremely fast speed.

Silently.

Those suspended drops of blood, scales, and even hairs were constantly dissected, revealing the most fundamental structure of life to Qi Yuan.

complex!

Incredibly complex. Qi Yuan had also tried the 'Rhinoceros Emperor Formation' that was popular in ancient civilizations, but the structure of this most fundamental life form was even more mysterious and complex than any of the Rhinoceros Emperor Formations that Qi Yuan had studied. After all, this was the life structure of a true god-level creature, which had evolved to an extremely high level.

"Ha ha……"

"So much true god's blood, scales, and hair. It's truly exhilarating."

Qi Yuan tirelessly studied the mysteries of life contained in these blood scales, and compared and verified them with the inheritance of the divine power route he had previously received. A large number of insights kept emerging in his mind!
"Amazing, truly amazing! This is the power of life!"

Qi Yuan was so engrossed in his research that he seemed to have forgotten everything else.

Ten years, a hundred years, a thousand years
In the blink of an eye, the first era of Qi Yuan's arrival in the Jin world had passed.
