Chapter 59: Red Packet: Third Clone

In fact, ever since the cross-realm teleportation and Dao-Comprehension Boost functions appeared in the chat group, everyone in the group has increasingly understood the importance of points.

Although everyone remains very enthusiastic when chatting with each other, they no longer freely exchange various cultivation techniques using free red packets as they used to.

Just like Xiao Yan, apart from giving a copy of the Nine Yang Divine Art to Lu Qingshan for free out of gratitude for Lu Qingshan's previous help, he has not given it to anyone else.

Although the people in the group still cannot afford the Nine Yang Divine Art now, he always believes that once there are more group members, everyone is stronger, and points are more abundant, someone will eventually become interested in the Nine Yang Divine Art.

And by that time, the Nine Yang Divine Art in the chat group shop will bring him a continuous stream of points!

As for what he just said—that if Han Li transfers ten thousand points to him, he will send the Nine Yang Divine Art to Han Li—it is completely because he indeed needs the help of points right now.

With the help of the Dao-Comprehension Boost function, he has cultivated to the Great Dou Shi realm in just over a year, and even successfully fused the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire using the Nine Yang Divine Art.

However, as his strength continuously improves, the point cost for Xiao Yan to use the Dao-Comprehension Boost function has also become higher and higher; even though he frequently chats idly in the group, he is still running a deficit, so he has set his sights on the points in Han Li's hands.

As for the others in the group, their thoughts in their hearts are actually not much different from Xiao Yan's.

Gifts like a few bottles of Hundred Herbs Liquid, a few Seclusion Pills, or a few ordinary internal martial arts manuals can be given away, but for truly precious treasures, no one would easily take them out to give to others.

As the saying goes, "Help the urgent, not the poor"; everyone is a smart person, so each of them clearly understands in their heart that to gain something, one must give something in return; no one can continue to reap without sowing in the group forever.

Precisely because of this, everyone in the group has found a method suitable for themselves.

Like Cao Cao and Yue Buqun, the resources in their worlds are scarce, so most of the points in their hands were exchanged for numerous cultivation resources from Lu Qingshan;

As for Pang Bo, Xiao Yan, and Han Li, they frequently use points to activate the Dao-Comprehension Boost function in the chat group for cultivation;

Only Tianmeng Bingcan is quite laid-back; having become Huo Yuhao's Wisdom Soul Ring, it naturally finds it very difficult to cultivate various techniques from other worlds. Furthermore, since the Dao-Comprehension Boost function currently cannot support use by anyone other than group members, apart from spending points to purchase a treasure capable of nurturing spiritual power from Lu Qingshan, Tianmeng Bingcan has only asked Lu Qingshan to act as a bodyguard once when helping Huo Yuhao find the Ice Empress to obtain his second Wu Hun.

It is worth mentioning that under Tianmeng Bingcan's intervention, Huo Yuhao has long since broken away from his original fate trajectory.

At that time, after Huo Yuhao refused to join the Tang Sect on Tianmeng Bingcan's suggestion, he used his superb fish-grilling skills to accumulate a sum of money, then followed a merchant caravan to the Ming Capital of the Sun Moon Empire, and finally joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy by virtue of his Spirit Eye Wu Hun and his own Soul Master talent.

Of course, during this process, Tianmeng Bingcan also analyzed the various pros and cons of the Shrek Academy and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy for Huo Yuhao under the suggestions of group members, but Huo Yuhao ultimately chose to trust Tianmeng Bingcan, who had become his Soul Ring and whose fate was bound to his own—prospering together or perishing together—and joined the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy.

Now, more than a year has passed; even though Huo Yuhao has not yet exposed his Extreme Ice Wu Hun, which he kept as a trump card, he has already gained considerable fame within the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy relying on his Spirit Eye Wu Hun and his own Soul Master talent.

【Han Li: @Xiao Yan, the technique I cultivate is not of the Fire attribute; even if you give me the Nine Yang Divine Art for free, it would be of no use to me! Besides, I am currently plotting to form my Nascent Soul, and I don't even have enough points for myself!】

Dou Qi Continent, Jianan Academy.

Seeing that Han Li in the chat group is preparing to form his Nascent Soul, Xiao Yan, who is currently trying to plot to seize the Fallen Heart Flame, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

With the help of the chat group, Xiao Yan's strength at this moment is simply unknown how much stronger than in the original plot at the same period, so he naturally arrived at Jianan Academy early, wanting to use the Nine Yang Divine Art to absorb the Fallen Heart Flame here.

In fact, with Yao Chen's current strength comparable to a Dou Sheng, even helping Xiao Yan forcibly seize the Fallen Heart Flame would be a very simple matter.

However, he has just fused the Green Lotus Earth Heart Fire and still needs to digest and settle it a bit; moreover, Jianan Academy has treated him quite well, so he does not want to directly and brutally seize the Fallen Heart Flame, which is why he plans to wait for a more suitable opportunity.

【Xiao Yan: Damn, Brother Han, you are about to form a Nascent Soul? Truly worthy of being a Dog Big Rich!】

【Pang Bo: Dog Big Rich!】

【Cao Cao: Truly a Big Rich!】

【Yue Buqun: @Han Li, I didn't expect Daoist Han's cultivation speed to be so fast; I, Yue, wish Daoist Han success in forming your Nascent Soul in advance!】

【System Notification: Han Li uploaded a designated red packet, ten Body-Forging Pills!】

【Han Li: Thank you, Daoist Yue! I recently refined a batch of Body-Forging Pills, so I will give you some!】

【Han Li: These Body-Forging Pills are merely a practice piece by me, and their effect is not particularly good; I hope Daoist Yue does not despise them!】

Martial World, Huashan Sect base.

The Huashan Sect is already the undisputed number one sect under heaven, and its sect master, Yue Buqun, is the number one expert under heaven!

And at this moment, Yue Buqun, the number one expert in the Martial World, is happily looking at the messages in the chat group.

In fact, he also wanted to be a repeater just now!

Even if he didn't call Han Li a Dog Big Rich like Xiao Yan and Pang Bo, teasing him with "Truly a Big Rich" like Cao Cao would certainly be harmless.

But just before Yue Buqun sent the message, he suddenly thought of the Hundred Herbs Liquid that Pang Bo had sent him earlier, so a flash of inspiration struck his mind, and he immediately changed his wording.

Sure enough, after seeing his congratulations, Han Li sent him ten Body-Forging Pills.

Although these Body-Forging Pills are not very precious, they were given to him by others, which naturally made him very happy.

【System Notification: Yue Buqun claimed Han Li's red packet!】

【Yue Buqun: Thank you for the gift, Daoist Han!】

【Xiao Yan: @Han Li, Brother Han, I want Body-Forging Pills too!】

【Han Li: @Xiao Yan, you have a pharmacist comparable to a Dou Sheng behind you; how could you lack pills?】

【Han Li: However, if you want the Body-Forging Pills in my hands, it's not impossible; exchange points for them, five points per Body-Forging Pill is enough!】

【Xiao Yan: Five points? Brother Han, your heart is too black; why don't you just go rob someone?】

Lu Qingshan, whose consciousness had entered the chat group, looked at the large number of chat records and felt quite happy in his heart.

After all, the higher everyone's activity in the group, the more points they will obtain!

And as the person in the group who possesses the most resources, the points of others will continuously flow into his hands.

Like the five points per Body-Forging Pill that Han Li just mentioned; the cost in the Mortal World might be one or two points, but here with Lu Qingshan, even exchanging one hundred potions comparable to Body-Forging Pills for one point would be worth it!

Of course, as everyone in the group continues to interact, everyone has developed a certain comparison of the value of points in their hearts, so when exchanging resources with Lu Qingshan, they do not ask for exorbitant prices.

And Lu Qingshan will also appropriately give them a bit more when exchanging resources, after all, once their strength becomes greater in the future, they will be able to obtain even more points.

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan uploaded a group red packet, one thousand Body-Forging Potions!】

This time, Lu Qingshan sent a luck-based red packet; it was snatched up in just a moment, and even Tianmeng Bingcan, who had always been lurking, popped out.

【Pang Bo: The Group Leader is generous! Hahaha, my luck exploded this time; I snatched more than two hundred portions!】

【Xiao Yan: The Group Leader is generous! @Pang Bo, my luck seems to be even better than yours; I snatched more than three hundred portions!】

【Cao Cao: The Group Leader is generous! I also snatched more than one hundred portions!】

【Yue Buqun: The Group Leader is generous! Although I only snatched more than ninety portions, I still thank the Group Leader for the red packet!】

Mortal World Immortal Cultivation World.

Han Li looked at the seven Body-Forging Elixirs he had just snatched, feeling somewhat speechless in his heart.

There were a thousand Body-Forging Elixirs, and only five people in the group went to grab them, yet he only managed to get seven; was something wrong somewhere?

【Han Li: Tears streaming down face. JPG! Why did I only grab seven? @Xiao Yan, @Pang Bo, did you guys cheat!】

【Pang Bo: Hahaha! I never thought Han Li would have such a day too! A thousand red packets, and you only grabbed seven; you are truly a non-lucky person!】

After seeing Pang Bo's words, Xiao Yan couldn't help but join in to deal a critical blow.

【Xiao Yan: @Han Li, Brother Han, is your luck so bad because you are quite dark-skinned?】

After seeing Xiao Yan's critical blow, Han Li felt even more depressed in his heart.

Could what he looked like be called dark?

That was simplicity!

However, he didn't rely on luck to eat in the group; he relied on his strength!

Thinking of this, Han Li quickly took action.

【System Notification: Han Li uploaded a designated red packet, thirty-two drops of Can Tian Zao Hua Dew!】

【Han Li: Group Leader, this is the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew I have accumulated over this period; I hope it can be of some help to you!】

Inside the chat group.

The others who had originally planned to continue teasing Han Li were all stunned upon seeing the designated red packet Han Li uploaded.

Yes!

Even if Han Li's luck was so bad, what of it?

As long as the Group Leader still needed the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew in his hand, he was the wealthiest in the group besides the Group Leader!

After all, they had all seen the generosity of Group Leader Lu Qingshan; he would absolutely not treat Han Li poorly!

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan claimed Han Li's designated red packet.】

【Lu Qingshan: Hahaha, it just so happens that my previous Can Tian Zao Hua Dew has been almost consumed; this also solves my immediate emergency! @Han Li, what resources do you want to exchange this time? I will prepare them for you!】

【Han Li: Thank you, Group Leader! I wonder what effects those Body-Forging Elixirs you just issued have?】

【Lu Qingshan: Didn't everyone say before that they wanted to improve their physical constitution a bit more? So I ordered my subordinates, the alchemists, to research and develop this kind of Body-Forging Elixir!】

【Lu Qingshan: The medicinal effect of this Body-Forging Elixir is extremely gentle; even ordinary people can use it. However, its effect far exceeds that of a thousand-year Spirit Marrow and can continuously enhance your physical constitution! Even if you break through to the Soul Transformation realm, it should still be useful!】

【Han Li: Group Leader, then this time I want to exchange for some Body-Forging Elixirs, plus some spiritual herbs; is that possible?】

【Lu Qingshan: No problem!】

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan uploaded a designated red packet, 2000 Body-Forging Elixirs, and several spiritual herbs!】

A World of Mortals Striving for Immortality.

Seeing the designated red packet issued by Lu Qingshan, Han Li couldn't help but reveal a smile on his face.

What if his luck was bad?

Having the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew in hand was enough for him!

Others fought for red packets for a long time, and in total they only got a thousand Body-Forging Elixirs, yet he could use the Can Tian Zao Hua Dew to exchange with the Group Leader for even more Body-Forging Elixirs and spiritual herbs.

Moreover, Han Li, who had already traded with Lu Qingshan many times, knew very well that the value of those several spiritual herbs would definitely be very precious to him!

【System Notification: Han Li claimed Lu Qingshan's red packet!】

【Han Li: Thank you, Group Leader!】

After Lu Qingshan and Han Li finished exchanging resources, Cao Cao and others also followed suit one after another.

After Lu Qingshan exchanged all the resources needed by everyone, his hand increased by more than ten thousand points again.

"The points have accumulated almost enough!"

Looking at the chat group points constantly increasing, Lu Qingshan thought silently in his heart: "As long as I wait another two months, I should be able to continue using the Dao Comprehension Support function!"

"Speaking of which, the chat group hasn't pulled in new members for a long time; if a few more people could be pulled into the group, my speed of earning points would definitely be even faster!"

【Lu Qingshan: @Everyone, I plan to go to other worlds for a bit; who among you is convenient right now?】

【Yue Buqun: Group Leader, I am convenient here!】

【Cao Cao: Group Leader, I have prepared the best mansion for you in Luoyang City; you can come over at any time!】

【Pang Bo: Me, me, me! Group Leader, Ye Zi and I are preparing to go search for the Source Heavenly Master's inheritance; if you come over, we can take you with us!】

【Xiao Yan: Brother Pang, your calculations are so loud I can hear them even in the Dou Qi Continent!】

【Xiao Yan: Group Leader, why don't you come to my place instead? Last time you left too hastily after coming; Teacher has always wanted to personally thank you for helping him restore his strength!】

【Lu Qingshan: Everyone, no need to rush; there will be opportunities in the future! I am using inter-realm travel this time only to prove an idea of mine; this time I will go to Xiao Yan's place!】

After saying this, Lu Qingshan quickly split a wisp of divine power from his true body and then began to apply for entry into Xiao Yan's world.

Battle Through the Heavens World, Jianan Academy.

Xiao Yan was currently researching with Yao Chen how to use the Body-Forging Elixir he had just snatched to achieve the best effect, but a notification from within the chat group suddenly came into his mind.

【System Notification: Lu Qingshan used the inter-realm travel channel; do you agree?】

"The Group Leader is coming to my place?"

Xiao Yan's face lit up with joy; he then hurriedly said to Yao Chen, who was beside him and only had a soul body: "Teacher, the Group Leader is about to come to our side; didn't you always say you wanted to thank him before?"

"Group Leader?"

Yao Chen on the side was slightly stunned, then quickly reacted: "Are you talking about that mysterious powerful person who once gave you that Chaos Source Fruit?"

Actually, recently Pang Bo and others had also come to Xiao Yan's place; even Han Li had asked Yao Chen about some alchemy techniques, so Yao Chen had long accepted this heaven-defying opportunity on Xiao Yan's body and was also not unfamiliar with Pang Bo and others.

Only Lu Qingshan, this Group Leader who had once helped him restore his strength, he had only seen in a hurry once.

"Yes!" Xiao Yan nodded and said.

Hearing Xiao Yan's words, Yao Chen quickly began searching for some pill formulas, Dou Techniques, and other things he had treasured before, hoping to prepare a gift for Lu Qingshan.

At this moment, Xiao Yan also quickly approved Lu Qingshan's inter-realm travel application.

Buzz!

A figure clad in dark golden robes instantly appeared before Xiao Yan and his master; it was precisely Lu Qingshan arriving via inter-realm travel.

"Group Owner!" Seeing Lu Qingshan appear, Xiao Yan immediately greeted him warmly, then introduced Yao Chen to Lu Qingshan: "This is my master!"

"Yao Sheng!" Lu Qingshan likewise smiled and nodded in greeting.

Although Yao Chen originally possessed only the Venerable Realm, he now had a soul at the peak of the Heaven Realm, coupled with his peerless alchemy skills; calling him Yao Sheng was truly well-deserved!

"Greetings, Group Owner!" Yao Chen likewise smiled and greeted Lu Qingshan.

Although the avatar of Lu Qingshan that arrived via inter-realm travel possessed very weak strength, his heart held no trace of underestimation.

Soon, Yao Chen retrieved numerous precious pill formulas and Dou techniques from his storage space, then spoke to Lu Qingshan: "Previously, Group Owner, you aided my awakening; Yao Chen has no way to repay you! Now I can only offer these humble gifts; I hope you do not disdain them!"

"Yao Sheng, you need not do this!"

Seeing the numerous pill formulas and Dou techniques placed before him, Lu Qingshan waved his hand and said: "Previously, Xiao Yan already paid the price for that Chaos Source Fruit; in truth, I gained some advantage. You should keep these things yourself!"

Xiao Yan, standing aside, was about to say something more, but was directly interrupted by Lu Qingshan...

"Enough!"

Lu Qingshan directly waved his hand and said: "Xiao Yan, I have received your and Yao Sheng's gratitude. Now I must return to verify whether my thoughts are correct. If there is anything, contact me in the group later!"

As soon as the words fell, Lu Qingshan's figure vanished from the spot once more.

"Truly a remarkable person!" Seeing Lu Qingshan's figure disappear, Yao Chen could not help but sigh.

"I did not expect the Group Owner to leave so quickly this time!"

Xiao Yan likewise could not help but sigh: "I wonder what exactly the Group Owner wishes to verify? Never mind, I should quickly improve my own strength; I cannot fall too far behind the others in the group!"

On the other side, after Lu Qingshan returned to Tianlei Star via the inter-realm travel transmission channel.

Boom!

He saw everything around him instantly freeze once more; everything near Tianlei Star seemed to be in a state of stagnation.

Subsequently, a mysterious power that no one could resist descended once again!

This mysterious power instantly swept through everything concerning Lu Qingshan, including the Divine Kingdom located within the spatial layer!

Yet, just like last time, this mysterious power still detected not a single trace of anomaly, and could only once again carry Lu Qingshan's consciousness to that mysterious place!

"As I suspected!"

Seeing his consciousness appear in the mysterious place, Lu Qingshan felt no surprise in his heart; instead, he felt somewhat delighted that his conjecture had been confirmed.

Gazing at the mysterious light points floating within this space, Lu Qingshan silently guessed in his heart: "I wonder what talent secret technique the Primordial Universe Origin Will will bestow upon me this time? Is it the Third Avatar? Or a powerful combat secret technique?"

Soon...

Whoosh!

A light point not far away suddenly began to flicker repeatedly, then directly transformed into a streak of flowing light, rushing toward Lu Qingshan's consciousness.

Boom-Boom-Boom!

After merging with that light point, countless scenes of the universe's birth until its destruction flashed once more through Lu Qingshan's consciousness.

After an endless stream of profound information merged into the depths of Lu Qingshan's consciousness, he was once again kicked out of this mysterious space.

Yanfeng Universe Country, Lei Guang Hai Star Domain, Tianlei Star!

Everything here seemed to have undergone no change at all; only Lu Qingshan, sitting cross-legged in the quiet chamber, understood that he had once again obtained a talent secret technique bestowed by the Primordial Universe Origin Will.

Talent Secret Technique — 'Third Avatar: Endless Divine Sea'!

Once this secret technique is activated, one will possess a Third Avatar with no upper limit on divine power capacity!

"This..."

After briefly studying the Third Avatar he had just obtained, Lu Qingshan could not help but sigh in his heart: "It seems the Primordial Universe Origin Will is not easily fooled; to prevent me from exploiting bugs again next time, it has directly blocked my path!"

The Third Avatar he had just obtained was actually somewhat similar to Luo Feng's Youhai Avatar in the original work, but except for its ability to contain vast amounts of divine power, it lacked talent secret techniques like 'Sea Transformation' or 'Creation'; it could only be considered a 'budget version' of the Youhai Avatar.

Such an avatar possessing endless divine power cannot be said to be bad; indeed, many supreme experts in the universe would crave it immensely!

However, this Third Avatar of Lu Qingshan, just after being nurtured, had a diameter of merely over one meter, and even this cost fully half of the divine power within his original body.

To continue expanding the volume of this Third Avatar, one must constantly inject one's own divine power into it.

Of course, the Endless Divine Sea Avatar can also replenish its own consumption and even expand its own volume by slowly absorbing divine power!

Yet the initial volume of this Endless Divine Sea Avatar is truly too small; the speed at which it absorbs divine power at the beginning is bound to be limited!

"Pity I have already broken through to become Immortal!"

Lu Qingshan could not help but lament in his heart: "If I had not stepped into Immortality, I could have, just like Luo Feng in the original work, used vast quantities of Universe Crystals to expand the volume of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar, then, after breaking through to Immortality, converted the Endless Divine Power all at once!"

"But now, to expand the divine power of this Endless Divine Sea Avatar, I must accumulate it bit by bit through the passage of long ages!"
