Chapter 269: Future Plans

"What you say is also true!"

Just as various thoughts flashed through Lu Qingshan's mind, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly said, "My divine body has lost nine percent this time; I estimate it will take some time to recover!"

Speaking of this, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly turned his head to look at Lu Qingshan, then continued asking, "Wan Jie, next, Iron Eagle and I are afraid we cannot continue acting with you; I wonder what are your plans next?"

"This..."

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "I possess the ability of a clone; the divine body of my main combat clone can actually remain intact!"

"So next, I plan to continue wandering in the Cosmic Secret Realm for a while, to see if I can accumulate more resources!"

"Powerful beings who possess the ability of a clone are truly enviable!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Iron Eagle Zunzhe nearby quickly said, "If I also possessed the ability of a clone, I could continue wandering the Cosmic Secret Realm with you, Wan Jie!"

"Unfortunately, we have now broken through to the Cosmic Venerable Realm; it is basically impossible to possess the ability of a clone!"

"The ability of a clone is indeed extremely overpowered!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe also said, "Among those Cosmic Venerables in our Human Race who possess the ability of a clone, almost all are the wealthiest among peers of the same level!"

"Although you, Wan Jie, only broke through not long ago, relying on the ability of a clone, I fear it won't be long before you can accumulate a considerable fortune!"

After hearing the words of Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Iron Eagle Zunzhe, Lu Qingshan did not say anything, but directly raised his cup to invite them.

And after everyone drank freely once more, Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly opened his mouth again.

"Wan Jie!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe directly asked, "You intend to continue exploring the Cosmic Secret Realm; I wonder where you plan to go?"

"That depends on the specific situation!"

Lu Qingshan quickly replied, "I originally intended to wander in the Qing Kong Secret Realm, but now that you and Iron Eagle need to rest for a while, and I am not very familiar with New Feng Zunzhe and the others, so I may have to wander in other Secret Realms!"

"Actually, Wan Jie, you can continue wandering in the Qing Kong Secret Realm!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly said, "According to records in our Human Race, Void Sand generally does not give birth alone; this time we obtained three at once; perhaps there is still unborn Void Sand on Mountain Range Number 0745!"

"As for teammates, you can absolutely invite others to act together! With your strength that killed Hei Lang Zunzhe, I fear many Cosmic Venerables in our Human Race would be willing to team up with you!"

"Of course, if you cannot find suitable partners, I can also recommend a few for you!"

"That is not necessary!"

Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand and said, "But since you, Kuang Dao, said so, I will go invite two teammates, then go wander in the Qing Kong Secret Realm for a while!"

"That is good!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe nodded slightly, then continued raising his cup and said, "Let us not speak of these things for now; come, let us all drink freely to celebrate our great gains on this journey!"

"Exactly!"

Iron Eagle Zunzhe quickly said, "Our gains this time are so great; indeed, we must celebrate properly!"

Just like that, Lu Qingshan drank freely once more with Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Iron Eagle Zunzhe, then rose to take his leave.

Inside Kuang Dao Zun Zhe's residence.

Watching Lu Qingshan's departing figure, both Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Iron Eagle Zunzhe had expressions of endless sighs on their faces.

"Sigh!"

Iron Eagle Zunzhe could not help but sigh, "Kuang Dao, this is probably the last time the two of us and Wan Jie Zunzhe will team up!"

"Yes!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe also could not help but sigh, "Who could have thought that Wan Jie Zunzhe, having just broken through, could possess such astonishing strength!"

"With Wan Jie Zunzhe's strength, plus the ability of a clone, I fear many High-Level Cosmic Venerables would be willing to team up with him! By the time the two of us recover our divine bodies, I fear we won't even be able to get in line!"

"Forget it, let us not think of these things for now!"

Iron Eagle Zunzhe sighed again, "Wan Jie Zunzhe possesses the ability of a clone; his future achievements are naturally beyond what the two of us can compare to!"

"Regardless, this time we wandered in the Qing Kong Secret Realm, which was worth it! Moreover, wandering with Wan Jie Zunzhe for over a hundred thousand years, and fighting against the Meng Yao Zu experts, we have formed some friendship!"

"Yes!"

Kuang Dao Zun Zhe quickly nodded, then raised his cup and said, "Forget it, let us not think of these things for now; come, drink!"

On the other side, after leaving Kuang Dao Zun Zhe's residence, Lu Qingshan quickly headed toward his own residence.

But before he could return to his residence, he received a message from his senior brother, Venerable Yao Guang.

After reading the message, Lu Qingshan quickly replied to Venerable Yao Guang with a message, then returned to his own residence to wait quietly.

Not long after, Venerable Yao Guang and Venerable Huoshen arrived outside his residence, and Lu Qingshan naturally very warmly invited the two into his residence.

After the three took their seats as host and guests, Lu Qingshan quickly waved his hand to present various fine wines and delicacies.

"Qingshan, let me introduce you!"

Venerable Yao Guang pointed to Venerable Huoshen nearby and introduced, "This is Venerable Huoshen, a famous artifact master in our Human Race; not only is his strength powerful, but his skill in forging treasures is also extremely outstanding!"

"The Thunder Dragon Shaking Heaven Armor I gave you back then was exchanged from Venerable Huoshen!"

After hearing Venerable Yao Guang's introduction, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at Venerable Huoshen, then raised his cup and greeted, "Venerable Huoshen!"

"Wan Jie Zunzhe!"

Venerable Huoshen also raised his wine cup and drank it in one gulp, then smiled and said, "When you, Wan Jie Zunzhe, held the Venerable Banquet back then, I was forging a top-tier heavy treasure armor, so I had no time to attend the banquet!"

Speaking of this, Venerable Huoshen waved his hand, and a stream of light immediately appeared before Lu Qingshan.

Then Venerable Huoshen continued, "This is a small trinket I casually forged; although it is ordinary, it barely crosses into the heavy treasure level!"

"Although you, Wan Jie Zunzhe, do not need it, it can still be used to reward subordinates!"

Watching the stream of light fly before his eyes, Lu Qingshan could not help but be slightly stunned.

This was a battle blade emitting a rich aura of the Wind Origin Law; it was entirely green, and the pressure it emitted was also quite strong.

Now that Lu Qingshan has broken through to the Cosmic Venerable Realm for some time, through exchanges with other Cosmic Venerables, he has gained some general judgment on various heavy treasures.

This heavy treasure battle blade clearly appears superior to the Purple Thunder Sky Wing Sword he won at the auction in Hong Alliance City before; even if contributed to the Race Treasury, it could probably earn one or two heavy treasure points.

But now, this Venerable Huoshen casually gave such a precious gift to me?

You must know, even among my senior brothers and sisters, apart from Zifeng Zunzhe and Venerable Yao Guang, no one else is this generous!

"This..." Lu Qingshan quickly looked at Venerable Yao Guang beside him.

"Qingshan, just take it!"

Venerable Yao Guang quickly said: "This fellow Huoshen is a master of artifact forging. Among the numerous Universe Venerables of our human race, the only one who might surpass him in the art of forging is probably Canglian Zunzhe of the Universe First Bank!"

"He has been forging for so many years; his wealth is even envied by me. It's just a small gift; you should take it!"

Hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Lu Qingshan quickly accepted the battle blade given by Venerable Huoshen, then smiled and said: "Then I thank you, Huoshen!"

"Hahaha, it's just a small gift!"

Sensing the change in Lu Qingshan's address, Venerable Huoshen immediately said: "Ten Thousand Worlds, you need not worry too much! In the future, if you need any heavy treasures, you can come to me first; I guarantee it will be cheaper than exchanging them from the Race Treasury!"

Hearing Venerable Huoshen's words, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but feel somewhat amused in his heart.

Venerable Huoshen's impression on him was clearly different from other Universe Venerables he had met; he didn't look like a powerful expert, but rather like a merchant.

However, considering that the Ancestral Founder of a Sacred Land in the Universe Sea became a restaurant owner upon arriving at the Origin Continent, and that the Tiankun Nation Lord who killed Zuo Shanke was also a chef, Lu Qingshan was no longer surprised.

Everything is for resources; it's not cold-blooded!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said to Venerable Huoshen: "Huoshen, I actually have some artifact forging materials in my hand; I wonder if you need them?"

"That depends on what kind of materials they are!" Venerable Huoshen quickly said.

"Then look at this first!"

Lu Qingshan waved his hand and quickly sent a World Ring to Venerable Huoshen; inside was the Void Sand he had just obtained from Kuang Dao Zun Zhe.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan also quickly sent some treasures left in his Divine Kingdom via his Divine Power Avatar.

"Void Sand?"

Venerable Huoshen, who had taken the World Ring, was not initially too concerned, but upon seeing the Void Sand inside, a hint of joy inevitably appeared on his face.

Afterwards, Venerable Huoshen quickly said: "Ten Thousand Worlds, I wonder if you have more Void Sand? I am willing to buy every single one at a price of 98 Heavy Treasure Points!"

Hearing Venerable Huoshen's words, Venerable Yao Guang, who was drinking nearby, immediately became displeased: "Huoshen, you even scam my junior brother?"

"Yao Guang, 98 Heavy Treasure Points is already a lot!"

Venerable Huoshen hurriedly said: "The selling price of this Void Sand in the Race Treasury is only 100 Heavy Treasure Points; if contributed to the Race Treasury, one would only get ninety Heavy Treasure Points!"

"The exchange price of this Void Sand in the Race Treasury is indeed 100 Heavy Treasure Points!"

Venerable Yao Guang quickly said with a half-smile: "But the premise is that the Race Treasury must have Void Sand, right? As far as I know, the Void Sand in the Race Treasury was exchanged by Canglian Zunzhe of the Universe First Bank over ten million epochs ago!"

"If the Void Sand in my junior brother's hands were sent to Canglian Zunzhe, do you believe he could offer 101, or even 102 Heavy Treasure Points?"

"This..."

Hearing Venerable Yao Guang's words, Venerable Huoshen said somewhat awkwardly: "I didn't expect you, Yao Guang, to know so much about these matters! How about this, I offer 100 Heavy Treasure Points per piece; if that doesn't work, then forget it, I will just wait a bit longer!"

This Void Sand is a material for forging Supreme Treasures; Venerable Huoshen has yet to forge a single Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao. Now purchasing Void Sand is merely an attempt, so he certainly will not offer a price higher than the Race Treasury's exchange price!

Seeing this, Venerable Yao Guang quickly nodded slightly at Lu Qingshan beside him.

And seeing Venerable Yao Guang's agreement, Lu Qingshan naturally sold the Void Sand to Venerable Huoshen at the price of 100 Heavy Treasure Points, and even told Venerable Huoshen that Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Tie Ying Zunzhe also possessed Void Sand.

Just as Venerable Huoshen was about to go find Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and the other, Lu Qingshan quickly said: "Huoshen, don't rush; I have some other treasures here!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Huoshen quickly stopped his steps.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan's Divine Power Avatar also sent the treasures from the Divine Kingdom; they were the two arms he had obtained from the Star-Extinguishing Great Venerable when he went to the Flying Sword Seeking Dao World, as well as some Star Stones that Meng Huan had sent him subsequently.

Previously, after he killed the Star-Extinguishing Great Venerable in the Flying Sword Seeking Dao World, he had obtained the two arms of the Star-Extinguishing Great Venerable and several Innate Spiritual Treasures.

However, to transmit those Innate Spiritual Treasures across realms, even by sending red packets, required paying some extra points, so Lu Qingshan left those treasures with Meng Huan, only asking Meng Huan to send the two arms of the Star-Extinguishing Great Venerable to him via red packets in stages.

However, later Meng Huan felt somewhat guilty, so he exchanged those Innate Spiritual Treasures for Star Stones according to their value in the Flying Sword Seeking Dao World, and then sent them to him in multiple batches via red packets.

However, Lu Qingshan had been in seclusion and deep cultivation back then, so he hadn't dealt with those treasures; now that a suitable opportunity had arisen, he naturally had to deal with them.

"This is..."

After taking the World Ring Lu Qingshan handed over again, Venerable Huoshen quickly inspected the treasures inside the World Ring: "I have never seen these two treasures before, but they look like precious materials for forging Heavy Treasures!"

"As for their specific value, it is best to verify them in the Race Treasury! I am willing to buy them at a price slightly higher than the Race Treasury's contribution price!"

"No problem!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said: "Then Huoshen, you can just take these treasures; when the price is confirmed, come directly to my residence in Chaos City to find me; my avatar has been in deep cultivation within Chaos City all along!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Huoshen quickly sighed: "Having the ability to create avatars is truly good!"

"If someone could grant me the ability to create avatars, I would even be willing to pay a price of thirty Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points!"

"Huoshen, you are truly wealthy and generous!"

Venerable Yao Guang, standing nearby, quickly sighed: "Thirty Ordinary Ordinary Zhibao Points, that is almost comparable to my entire wealth!"

"Mainly because the ability to create avatars is too rare!"

Venerable Huoshen quickly said: "If such a method truly exists, I don't believe you, Yao Guang, wouldn't be tempted!"

"That is true!" Venerable Yao Guang quickly nodded and said.

"Alright!"

Venerable Huoshen drained the wine in his cup in one gulp, then smiled and said: "Since the matter of the treasures has been settled, I will now go find Kuang Dao Zun Zhe and Tie Ying Zunzhe!"

"After exchanging for the Void Sand from those two, I will immediately head to Chaos City to investigate the value of your treasures, Ten Thousand Worlds!"

"Good!" Lu Qingshan quickly nodded and said.

And after greeting Lu Qingshan and the other, Venerable Huoshen also quickly took his leave.

"Qingshan!"

After Venerable Huoshen left, Venerable Yao Guang also quickly looked at Lu Qingshan and said: "I didn't expect your strength to have improved so quickly; you even managed to kill that Hei Lang Zunzhe, and moreover obtained Void Sand and other treasures in such a short time!"

"I just happened to meet them!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said: "Senior Brother, the reason I and Kuang Dao and Tie Ying clashed with Qing Lang Zunzhe, Hei Lang Zunzhe, and Long Diao Zunzhe of the Demon Race was because we obtained those three Void Sands while exploring the Qing Kong Secret Realm!"

"At that time, the three of us were faster; we collected the Void Sand first. Naturally, Hei Lang Zunzhe and the other two demons of the Meng Yao Zu would not accept this, so a fight broke out!"

"This time, we discovered the Void Sand within Mountain Range No. 0745 in the Qing Kong Secret Realm. Since Void Sand often does not form alone, there might be more Void Sand in Mountain Range No. 0745!"

"If Senior Brother has time, why not join me, your junior brother, in exploring the Qing Kong Secret Realm for a while? You might gain something as well!"

"Haha, you actually thought of me!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Venerable Yao Guang smiled, his expression very happy.

Lu Qingshan could tell him such special news and even wanted to invite him to explore the Qing Kong Secret Realm where Void Sand might exist; if he didn't consider him one of his own, what else would it be?

Thus, it was clear that his initial wholehearted help to Lu Qingshan was completely worthwhile!

But Venerable Yao Guang soon warned, "However, Junior Brother, you must remember: in the future, do not easily tell such special news to others!"

"I understand!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "If it weren't for you, Senior Brother, I certainly would not have mentioned it casually!"

"That is good!"

Venerable Yao Guang quickly said, "However, I plan to cultivate in seclusion for a while, so I am afraid I cannot go exploring the Qing Kong Secret Realm with you!"

"I recall that Fourteenth Junior Brother plans to explore a Secret Realm recently. He is a Zifeng Zunzhe of a High Universe, his strength is slightly greater than yours, and he is a very good person. You can invite him; I believe he will be very willing to explore with you!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Senior Brother!"

Lu Qingshan quickly said, "I will go invite Fourteenth Senior Brother shortly!"

Afterwards, Venerable Yao Guang drank heartily with Lu Qingshan once more before taking his leave.

On the other side, as news of Lu Qingshan killing Hei Lang Zunzhe of the Meng Yao Zu spread throughout the universe, Wan Jie Zunzhe's fame grew louder and louder in the universe.

However, Lu Qingshan did not hold a banquet specifically for this; he only met with some close friends.

For example, some senior brothers and sisters under Bing Feng Zhi Zhu, and Xiluo Duo and Klimans who came specifically from the territory of the Lord Jinjiao clan to see him...

It must be said that Xiluo Duo, able to lead a clan to establish a foothold in this vast universe, is absolutely a legendary figure.

Although it was their first meeting, there was no sense of strangeness when they talked.

Even during this time, Lu Qingshan invited Xiluo Duo to spar.

Of course, speaking of sparring, Lu Qingshan mainly wanted to witness the Dao of the Golden Void Beast God.

It must be said that Xiluo Duo's strength was absolutely terrifying.

The thought-weapon treasure 'Lie Shen Bing' in his hands possessed endless power; every movement carried overwhelming might.

If Xiluo Duo truly burned his Immortal Divine Power and fought to the death, Lu Qingshan would definitely not last more than a few moves in his hands!
