Chapter 155: Xue Hun Wang's Concession, Hong Alliance City

The banquet hosted by Lu Qingshan lasted for three days, with both hosts and guests thoroughly enjoying themselves, and through this, Lu Qingshan became familiar with many Hei Fengwang-level Immortals from the human race.

When the banquet ended and all the guests departed, Lei Huanwang and Xue Hun Wang remained behind.

Inside a quiet room within the mansion, Lu Qingshan, Lei Huanwang, and Xue Hun Wang sat together.

"Disciple, I have already negotiated with Xue Hun Wang on your behalf!"

Lei Huanwang said with a smile, "Xue Hun Wang is willing to transfer the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance, which will open over a thousand years from now, to you for a price of 35 billion Hunyuan units!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan could not help but nod inwardly.

It must be known that every Divine General inheritance is extremely precious within the human race; especially those capable of enhancing soul amplitude, which are rarer, are even more valuable than those that enhance physical amplitude.

Previously, when he had discussed matters with his master Lei Huanwang, he had learned that to obtain a slot for a Divine General inheritance that enhances soul amplitude, besides having the support of a powerful figure behind him and owing many favors, one must at least pay a fortune of around 30 billion to 32 billion Hunyuan units.

And for Xue Hun Wang to be willing to transfer the slot for the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance, which is set to open in a thousand years, to him for 35 billion Hunyuan units, this is already considered a very good thing!

If it were another powerful figure who had obtained the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot, even if he offered more wealth, the other party would not necessarily be willing to exchange it.

But just at this moment...

"Lei Huanwang, Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds!"

Xue Hun Wang quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang, saying with a smile, "Not 35 billion Hunyuan units, but 32 billion Hunyuan units!"

Hearing this, both Lu Qingshan and Lei Huanwang were slightly stunned.

Xue Hun Wang continued, "Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, when I applied for the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot this time, I spent a total of only 32 billion Hunyuan units in wealth, so naturally, transferring this slot to you is also for 32 billion Hunyuan units!"

In fact, before Lu Qingshan's banquet began, the agreed transfer price for the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot between Xue Hun Wang and Lei Huanwang was indeed 35 billion Hunyuan units.

Moreover, this was because Xue Hun Wang and Lei Huanwang had some acquaintance, and Lei Huanwang had also promised to help him apply for the next Mo Yin Divine General inheritance slot; otherwise, even for 35 billion Hunyuan units, he would not have given up his Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot.

After all, when he originally applied for the inheritance slot, he had expended considerable effort and owed many favors!

Now that the Divine General inheritance was finally about to open, how could he possibly give it up easily to someone else?

However, after seeing several Universe Zifeng Zunzhe send envoys to deliver gifts to Lu Qingshan during the previous banquet, he quickly changed his previous mind.

It must be known that even when he applied for the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot previously, it took a great deal of effort to find three Universe Zifeng Zunzhe to help, including his master, and the strongest among them was only a five-star powerhouse.

But now, Lu Qingshan had merely hosted a Hei Fengwang-level banquet, yet several Universe Zifeng Zunzhe sent envoys with gifts, including alien Universe Zifeng Zunzhe and even Yin Ying Junzhu, a seven-star hegemon.

It was precisely because of Lu Qingshan's astonishing connections that he changed his mind, deciding to abandon the extra 3 billion Hunyuan units to build a better relationship with Lu Qingshan.

"This..."

Lu Qingshan could not help but look at Lei Huanwang.

In fact, he had already guessed Xue Hun Wang's intentions.

However, the difference between 32 billion Hunyuan units and 35 billion Hunyuan units was not too great for Lu Qingshan, and since this matter was initiated by Lei Huanwang, he naturally needed to hear Lei Huanwang's opinion.

Lei Huanwang had also guessed Xue Hun Wang's intentions, so he was even happier in his heart.

After all, with his disciple's reputation growing, his face as a master was also honored!

"Hahaha!"

Lei Huanwang laughed heartily, "Qingshan, since Xue Hun Wang has given you this much face, let us follow his proposal!"

"Good!" Lu Qingshan nodded quickly.

Lei Huanwang then transmitted his voice directly, "Disciple, you previously applied for the Blood of the Beast God; do you still have enough money on you?"

"Enough!" Lu Qingshan quickly replied via voice transmission.

Next, Lu Qingshan and Xue Hun Wang quickly completed this transaction under the witness of the Virtual Universe.

In fact, if Lu Qingshan were still only a Fenghou-level Immortal, even if Xue Hun Wang was willing to trade the Divine General inheritance slot to him, it would be a very troublesome matter, and the transaction might even fail;

but now Lu Qingshan has not only joined the Hong Alliance Alliance but is also a core member of the Virtual Universe Company faction, possessing high permissions, making the transaction naturally very simple.

After the transaction was completed, Xue Hun Wang chatted briefly with Lu Qingshan and his master, then took his leave.

"Tsk tsk!"

After Xue Hun Wang left, Lei Huanwang could not help but smile and look at Lu Qingshan, "Disciple, I never thought your reputation has grown so great that Xue Hun Wang would abandon the 3 billion Hunyuan unit difference just to build a good relationship with you!"

"This is mainly because Master was able to invite Xue Hun Wang!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said with a smile, "If you had not found Xue Hun Wang, disciple probably would not have found anyone to trade the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot with!"

"Hahaha, I also expended some effort to find Xue Hun Wang previously!"

Lei Huanwang said with a smile, "Moreover, I indeed had some acquaintance with Xue Hun Wang, which allowed me to persuade him to transfer the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance slot to you for 35 billion Hunyuan units, but I did not expect him to voluntarily abandon that 3 billion Hunyuan units in the end!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan only smiled and did not say much more.

"But speaking of which!"

Lei Huanwang quickly asked seriously, "Disciple, I can guess why Yin Ying Junzhu sent someone to give you gifts, and I also know you have some acquaintance with Tian Shi Zifeng Zunzhe, but what is the situation with Elder Clemens of the Jinjiao race? Could he possibly also know the news about your clone?"

"That is not the case!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "Disciple merely went to the territory of the Jinjiao race previously due to a mission from the transportation department, and later received a warm welcome from the Jinjiao race; even Elder Clemens personally instructed disciple, helping disciple elevate his comprehension of the Time Origin Law to the Fenghou High-level realm!"

"So that is how it is!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Lei Huanwang quickly nodded and said, "The Jinjiao race indeed has a relatively close relationship with our human race and is quite enthusiastic toward powerful figures of our human race! However, they are aliens after all; now that your Grandmaster has increased your permissions on the Outer Battlefield, it is better not to expose the matter of your clone if possible; this can serve as a trump card!"

"Disciple understands!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

"Very well, since the matter has been settled, I should take my leave!"

Lei Huanwang immediately stood up and said, "You should prepare well; try your best to find a way to purchase some treasures that improve the soul; when you accept the Ling Feng inheritance later, it will surely be of great help to you!"

Speaking of this, Lei Huanwang could not help but tease, "If disciple could cultivate the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance to the Great Perfection realm, your strength would then be enough to rival your Grandmaster!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan's heart remained extremely calm.

He was going to accept the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance merely to enhance his soul amplitude.

Even if he truly had the opportunity to cultivate the Ling Feng Divine General inheritance to the Great Perfection realm, he would not cultivate it.

After all, accepting such a Divine General inheritance comes with certain drawbacks.

That is, once the inheritance is cultivated to the Great Perfection realm, one will be affected by the corresponding secret technique and forever unable to become a true Universe Master.

Perhaps for others, cultivating the Divine General inheritance to the Great Perfection realm, becoming a Reserve Divine General and a Universal Hegemon, or even attaining the Divine General position to become a true top-tier Universal Hegemon would already be a very good thing;

But for Lu Qingshan, who possesses the Myriad Heavens Chat Group, this matter is very improper!

Even if the Myriad Heavens Chat Group might break the limitations of this drawback, he would not attempt it!

Of course, without the assistance of the Dao-Comprehension Enhancement function, the possibility of him cultivating the Spirit Wind Divine General inheritance to the Great Perfection realm is infinitely close to zero!

After seeing off Lei Huanwang, Lu Qingshan quickly connected his consciousness to the Virtual Universe and arrived at his residence on Lei Ting Island.

After breaking through to the eighteenth layer of the Tongtian Bridge, Lu Qingshan's permissions on Lei Ting Island also increased greatly; even his residence had moved to the foot of the mountain range, very close to his master Lei Huanwang, senior brother Ji Dianwang, and senior sister Tong Ye Wang's residences.

"Now that the banquet has ended, it is time to go take a look inside the Hong Alliance!"

Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "Now that I have broken through to the Hei Fengwang level, the weapons and equipment on my body should also be replaced with new ones; I can just take a stroll inside the Hong Alliance!"

In fact, long after joining the Hong Alliance, Lu Qingshan had possessed a permission to teleport to Hong Alliance City within the Virtual Universe.

It was just that he had been preparing for the banquet matters previously, so he had not gone.

Now that he had time, of course he must go in and have a good look around.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately activated the teleportation, target—Hong Alliance City!

Whoosh!

Lu Qingshan instantly vanished into thin air from his residence on Lei Ting Island, then was directly teleported to another plane space within the Virtual Universe.

The Hong Alliance's headquarters is located in a super plane space specially opened up within the Virtual Universe.

This plane space contains countless brilliant stars, and in the central area surrounded by these endless stars stands a huge floating ancient city.

This ancient city floating amidst the endless stars is the 'Hong Alliance City' where countless super experts reside.

Hong Alliance City is the gathering place for the Human Race and alliances of many alien races, truly boasting experts like clouds.

Moreover, within Hong Alliance City, the status of every expert has long been determined according to the level of strength and the amount of contribution; naturally, those with higher status can enjoy more rights.

Under normal circumstances, formal members within the Hong Alliance are divided by strength and status according to their combat achievements!

The stronger the combat achievement, the higher the status!

Within Hong Alliance City, many experts are divided by strength from One-Star, Two-Star, Three-Star... up to Seven-Star, and every expert has a corresponding star mark on their arm guard.

All new members who have just joined the Hong Alliance are all One-Star, and then according to real-world combat achievements, the 'Hong Alliance City Sub-System' within the Virtual Universe system will automatically judge combat achievements and strength, thereby raising the level.

One-Star generally belongs to the most ordinary standard among Hei Fengwang Immortals; early-stage Hei Fengwang and some late-stage Hei Fengwang belong to this level;

Two-Star is considered the outstanding among Hei Fengwang; some late-stage Hei Fengwang and the majority of peak Hei Fengwang belong to this level;

Three-Star: experts possessing Hei Fengwang limit combat power can be classified into this level;

Experts from One to Three Stars all reside in the outer layer of Hong Alliance; the Hei Fengwang experts of all races combined total nearly three million, while the Hei Fengwang experts of the Human Race are only over ninety thousand;

Those with strength classified from Four to Six Stars reside in the inner city; among these, almost all are existences of the Universal Zifeng Zunzhe level, and a very few invincible Hei Fengwang experts can also be classified into this level;

And in the most core area of the entire Hong Alliance City stands a towering palace reaching a million kilometers high; from a distance, it looks like a giant sword piercing the starry sky; this is the true core place within Hong Alliance City, Hong Alliance Hall.

Hong Alliance Hall is where Xiluo Duo, Guiyi Zunzhe, Master Ningshuang, and other Seven-Star Hegemons reside, while the various Hall Masters within Hong Alliance Hall are even peak existences transcending Seven Stars, namely the Universe Masters!

"Buzz!"

Accompanying Lu Qingshan's arrival, one of the endless stars surrounding Hong Alliance City shone slightly brighter than before.

"This is Hong Alliance City?"

Lu Qingshan, who had been teleported, quickly appeared in a living room of less than a thousand square meters.

"Master!"

The voice of the intelligent lifeform Hearing Shenlan soon sounded in Lu Qingshan's mind: "I have received the message sent by the Hong Alliance system; this is your residence within Hong Alliance City. The residences of all formal members outside Hong Alliance City are the same, all occupying three thousand two hundred square meters!"

"Hmm!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

Hong Alliance City is primarily a platform for experts of all races to communicate and gather; naturally, it is impossible to equip every expert with a vast space to practice and demonstrate secret arts.

Moreover, within Hong Alliance City, all experts use exactly the same physical attributes!

"It is time to go out and take a look." Lu Qingshan quickly pushed open the door and walked out of his residence.

Outside the residence is a district with a very large area but relatively quiet; every residence occupies three thousand two hundred square meters, only the architectural styles differ slightly.

"Master!"

Hearing Shenlan's voice sounded again in Lu Qingshan's mind: "The many Hei Fengwang Immortals in the outer layer of Hong Alliance City are all directly assigned to individual districts; each district can hold at most ten thousand residents!"

Lu Qingshan walked inside the district and could occasionally see Hei Fengwang Immortals of various alien races.

"Are you new here?"

"I have never seen you; are you just joining the Hong Alliance?"

"Human Immortal, want to have a drink together?"

Many Hei Fengwang Immortals Lu Qingshan met on the road were extremely enthusiastic toward him; after all, the Human Race is the true dominant force of the Hong Alliance. Although Lu Qingshan currently only has One-Star, his status within the Hong Alliance is completely not inferior to those ordinary alien race experts of Two-Star or Three-Star.

Facing the enthusiasm of many alien race experts, Lu Qingshan naturally replied to each one enthusiastically in turn.

Just like that, after wandering around the district for a short while, Lu Qingshan quickly encountered a familiar Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortal, the Human Race expert Shi Fengwang who had once represented the Hong Alliance to invite him to his residence.

At this moment, Shi Fengwang was chatting leisurely with over ten Hei Fengwang Immortals; including Shi Fengwang, there were only three Human Race Hei Fengwang Immortals.

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Shi Fengwang couldn't help but pause slightly, then quickly walked over toward Lu Qingshan.

"Shi Fengwang!" Lu Qingshan greeted with a smile.

"Ten Thousand Worlds King!"

Shi Fengwang responded with equal enthusiasm: "I didn't expect that after you arrived at the Hong Alliance, you would be assigned to our district; this is truly wonderful. From today on, our district will have one more Human Race expert!"

"I also didn't expect to meet you, Shi Fengwang, within the district!" Lu Qingshan responded with a smile as well.

"This is fate!"

As a Three-Star existence, Shi Fengwang greeted Lu Qingshan very enthusiastically: "Ten Thousand Worlds King, let me introduce you to these new friends; this is Canyangwang of the Universal Mercenary Alliance, this is Baoyuwang of the Universal First Bank, this is Yinchiwang of the Green Bird Race..."

"Canyangwang, Baoyuwang, Yinchiwang..." Lu Qingshan smiled and greeted every Hei Fengwang Immortal.

"Wanjie Wang!"

"Wanjie Wang!"

The dozen-plus Sealed Immortals who were together with Shi Fengwang all welcomed Lu Qingshan with great warmth as well, not showing the slightest contempt just because Lu Qingshan currently only had one star.

Just like that, Lu Qingshan chatted quite happily with Shi Fengwang and the others, and from time to time other alien-race Sealed Immortals came over to greet him, which also let Lu Qingshan get to know many alien-race powerhouses he had never met before.

"Wanjie Wang!"

After a bout of hearty drinking, Shi Fengwang soon said with a smile: "Now that you've joined our little district this time, we'll have to keep in touch often from now on!"

"Don't worry — although our human race only has a little over two hundred Sealed Immortals in this district, apart from a few lone wanderers, the rest are all Sealed Immortals from the core level of our five great factions. We're still quite united normally!"

"I understand!" Lu Qingshan nodded and said.

After all, wherever there are people, there will be strife. When powerhouses from different races of the universe gather in one little district, conflicts naturally arise when they get along normally.

It's just that the human race is the dominant force of the Hong Alliance, and the human-race powerhouses in this little district are comparatively united, so they naturally hold an absolute advantage; other alien-race powerhouses don't dare to provoke them at all.

Just like when Lu Qingshan had just appeared — even though he only had one star, there were still some two-star, even three-star existences who came over to greet him.

But if it were a newly-joined alien-race Sealed powerhouse instead, they might not find even a few fellow-race powerhouses in the entire district, and would inevitably be looked down upon — how could they possibly be as warm toward him as they were toward Lu Qingshan?
