I picked up attributes in Swallowing Star.

"Finally, we're going out." Hong chuckled and remarked telepathically, "This time it's really quite mysterious."

"It's quite mysterious." Luo Yuan and the others laughed as well.

Originally, it was a training exercise for apprentice mercenaries in the universe, but unexpectedly, a new 'realm within a realm' was discovered midway through. Suddenly, all the adventurers forgot about the exam and threw themselves into the realm within a realm to fight for their lives. The realm within a realm represented enormous wealth! Clearly, this effort was worthwhile; Luo Yuan's gains were truly immense.

In terms of wealth, he is comparable to a typical Realm Lord! Of course, he still cannot compare with some peak Realm Lords such as 'Thunder Realm Lord Kabu', 'Jiang Tianchen', and 'Hargrave'.

"We have a lot of wealth now, but the gap between our strength and wealth is too big," Thor muttered. "We need to increase our strength when we get back."

"Yes." Luo Feng and the others nodded.

While waiting, as a large number of adventurers flew in one by one, it was finally Luo Yuan and his group of eight's turn.

"go!"

"rush!"

Luo Yuan, Luo Feng, Hong, Lei Shen, and the remaining four servants transformed into four streaks of light and rushed into the waterfall of light ahead.

……

Canglan Star, Ancient City.

The villa had a passageway specially opened in one of its walls, allowing the large number of adventurers who rushed out of that thunderous world to fly out quickly.

Swoosh~~~

Countless adventurers flew out one after another.

"All adventurers, assemble at the front."

"Anyone who tries to escape, kill them!"

"Those who disobey orders will be killed!"

Suspended in mid-air at various points were numerous cosmic-level powerhouses, with the occasional domain lord among them. These powerful figures coldly observed the legion of adventurers who had miraculously survived and returned. Angry shouts resounded directly into the ears of every adventurer, preventing the entire legion from daring to fly recklessly.

Time passed, and on this wasteland beside the ancient city, the surviving army of adventurers from Three Axe Mountain was stationed, including Luo Yuan and his eight companions. Some powerful figures began to fly over, taking their forces away. As time went on, the number of troops on this wasteland steadily decreased: 70,000, 60,000, 50,000, 40,000…

"Luo Yuan!"

"Haha, seeing you guys makes me so happy, haha." A hearty laugh rang out, and the burly and robust Ming Yu floated in the air.

Luo Yuan and eight others, along with more than 200 others, flew towards Mingyu.

"My lord." More than 200 adventurers bowed respectfully.

Luo Yuan and his eight companions stood side by side and bowed respectfully, saying, "Lord Mingyu."

"Very good, let's go to my manor to rest." Ming Yu led Luo Yuan and his eight companions, along with more than 200 adventurers, and quickly departed.

…………

A beautiful manor with an elegant design built on the grassland; the more than 200 adventurers had long since been sent away.

Luo Yuan and his eight companions were sitting at the same table as Ming Yu.

Luo Yuan was quite disappointed to be brought here by Ming Yu... because he had waited there for so long but hadn't seen a single Realm Lord! The Realm Lords had all sent people to take away the adventurer army, instead of coming in person.

"How was your harvest in the Realm Within a Realm?" Ming Yu asked Luo Yuan and the other eight.

"I've exchanged it for a treasure." Luo Yuan smiled at Ming Yu.

Ming Yu's tiger-like eyes suddenly flashed with two sharp rays.

"What treasure?" Mingyu asked with great anticipation.

With a thought, Luo Yuan conjured a three-meter-long, wide-handled battle sword that hovered in the air. The sword's blade was covered with incredibly complex runes, which gave rise to a chilling aura. Ice crystals appeared around the blade, instantly lowering the temperature of the entire manor to below zero, as if the space itself had been frozen.

“Lord Mingyu, this is the fifth-tier Force weapon, the ‘Ice Soul Blade’,” Luo Yuan said.

Chapter 94 Secret Method

"Good, good, good." Ming Yu's eyes burned with fervor as he stared intently at the Ice Soul Blade.

treasure!

"Luo Yuan, this gift of yours is quite heavy." Ming Yu looked at Luo Yuan and the others with a complicated expression. "Do you know how much this gift is worth?"

"Exorbitant price!"

Luo Yuan laughed and said, "This is an astronomical price that we can't even imagine. That's all I know."

“Yes, an astronomical price! My entire net worth combined wouldn't be enough.” Ming Yu looked at Luo Yuan. “I told you, I won't treat you unfairly! Tell me, what are your demands!”

"I want to wipe out a family," Luo Yuan said.

"Oh, how strong is your family? What's the level of your strongest member?" Mingyu frowned.

"It's just a low-level family in the Hundred Tigers Tower. The strongest person there is at the ninth level of the Universe Realm," Luo Yuan said.

"Haha..." Ming Yu laughed. The strongest talent is at the ninth level of the Universe level? It's too easy for him.

"Killing ten of them wouldn't be nearly as good as this Ice Soul Blade you gave me."

“How about this?” Ming Yu pondered for a moment, “I will give you one-third of my territory! No… that might attract unwanted attention. How about this: from today onwards, half of my nearly 100,000 inhabited planets will be yours, and the other half will be mine. But you will manage everything normally; I don’t care about planetary revenue, planetary soldiers, or anything like that.”

“And cash… I don’t have much cash on me… far from enough to cover the price of your ‘Ice Soul Blade’.” Ming Yu pondered.

"Lord Mingyu, please give as much as you like. The four of us brothers have already gained a lot this time." Luo Yuan knew very well that he couldn't be too greedy.

Otherwise, if you offend the other party, you'll be in big trouble.

not to mention……

The treasures I obtained this time were numerous, and this Ice Soul Blade was less than one-thousandth of all the other treasures combined, so it was nothing.

“Give me your account,” Mingyu said.

"Yes." Luo Yuan gave his account number at the Cosmic Galaxy Bank, and then a text message came in notifying him that 200 billion Cosmic Coins had been transferred to his account. One Cosmic Coin is equivalent to about 3300 Qianwu Coins, so 200 billion Cosmic Coins is about 66 trillion Qianwu Coins.

The cash that Domain Lord 'Ming Yu' gave him was almost equivalent to the selling price of 100,000 life-bearing planets! This was an extremely high price even for a Domain Lord, and Luo Yuan could only think that Ming Yu was really rich.

"Alright, which family did you just tell me to destroy?" Mingyu said cheerfully.

“The Nuolanshan family,” Luo Yuan said.

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen also looked at Ming Yu expectantly.

“The Nuolan Mountain family? There’s a little trouble, but it’s not a big problem. After all, they’re just a low-level family.” Ming Yu first frowned slightly, then shook his head and smiled.

Ming Yu opened a light screen directly in front of Luo Yuan and the others, and soon a white-haired old man with a sinister look appeared on the screen.

"Lord Mingyu!" the white-haired old man bowed respectfully.

"Okay, Carolan, go and lead a few of your ninth-tier cosmic-level subordinates to find an opportunity to wipe out a family called Nuolanshan, which is under the jurisdiction of Hundred Tiger Tower," Ming Yu said calmly.

The old man was slightly taken aback, but quickly accepted the order and withdrew respectfully.

Luo Yuan and the others smiled upon hearing this, and just like that, a cosmic-level family met its end amidst the laughter and conversation of the two.

After leaving the manor, Luo Yuan and his group of eight went to the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance headquarters to hand over the items needed for the 'Trainee Mercenary Assessment'.

"Cosmic Apprentice Mercenaries! We've become cosmic apprentice mercenaries too, haha..."

"There are many powerful people on this Canglan Star, we should leave as soon as possible."

"Okay, let's head back to Earth."

Luo Yuan and his group of eight quickly went to the planet's docking port, retrieved their spaceship, and left Canglan Star.

…………

"10, 9, 8, 7, 6... 3, 2, 1! Space travel!"

The spaceship trembled slightly for a moment, then began to maintain a speed of 1.2 times the speed of light in the dark universe, rapidly moving forward in the designated direction.

Meanwhile, in the spaceship's control room, Luo Yuan had already arranged for his four servants to rest, while he, Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen remained in the control room, brimming with excitement.

"Come on, brothers, let's divide the money! Same rules as always, eldest brother, second brother, and fourth brother, you each get 40 billion universe coins." Luo Yuan and the others were distributing their spoils.

“Third brother,” Hong shook his head and said, “This time, it all depended on your efforts alone. We were just venturing into the inner world, so accepting this money is indeed…”

Thor and Luo Feng shook their heads, saying, "Too many, too few for us."

“This money is just a small amount. Our greater wealth lies in those treasures,” Luo Yuan said with a smile.

"Mm." Hong nodded.

"If an Ice Soul Blade is that expensive, imagine the value of all those treasures combined..." Thor's eyes also lit up.

"So, we'll each take one of the four Tier 5 Force Battle Suit, and we'll also divide up the Tier 5 weapons here. I'll take the Cloud Vine seedlings, I'll take two Life Fruits, and you can have the last one, Luo Feng..." Luo Yuan explained the distribution plan. Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen simply nodded without refusing, since most of the items here were thanks to Luo Yuan's efforts.

After the distribution was completed, Luo Yuan flipped his hand, and five auxiliary quantum computers floated above him. Then, all five auxiliary quantum computers fell to the ground. Each of the five auxiliary quantum computers contained a set of Thunder Secret Techniques.

Luo Yuan picked up the fifth auxiliary quantum computer and laughed, "Lord Wu, come out, stop hiding!"

Luo Feng, Hong, and Lei Shen were also surprised to hear Luo Yuan's words and looked at the auxiliary light brain in Luo Yuan's hand with great interest.

After waiting for a while, the auxiliary computer did not respond.

"Lord Wu, if you don't come out soon, I'll destroy this auxiliary computer!" Luo Yuan threatened coldly.

"No, no, I'll come out right now."

A somewhat comical old man's voice rang out, and then a lamp on the auxiliary computer projected the figure of the old man in the fog.

"Little guy, how did you know I was hiding in here?" the white-bearded old man asked anxiously.

"Don't ask that. Just hand over the Thunder Secret Technique and the Space Secret Technique you have, and I can find you a successor. What do you think of my second brother?" Luo Yuan pointed to the Thunder God beside him, which made the Thunder God awkwardly touch his bald head.

The white-bearded old man's eyes lit up when he saw Thor. He could sense that Thor had a great talent for lightning, but he was somewhat unwilling to just hand over all the secret techniques to Luo Yuan.

Luo Yuan saw through his little scheme and said with a smile, "Don't feel like you're losing out. You stayed in that realm within a realm for tens of millions of years just to find a successor for your former master, right? As long as you agree to my request, I can guarantee your safety. If there's an opportunity in the future, I can even give you a physical body so you can truly experience what it's like to be human. How about it?"

"Is what you're saying true?" the white-bearded old man asked with great interest. In fact, he didn't have much of a choice, because if he didn't obey, Luo Yuan would destroy him. Should he give away the secret technique or be destroyed? Having been lonely for millions of years, he had no choice but to choose the former. As an intelligent life form with all human emotions, he wanted to live.

"Of course, I, Luo Yuan, keep my word," Luo Yuan promised.

"Alright, I believe you." The white-bearded old man smiled and nodded.
