Chapter 59 The Difficulties and Changing Status of Cultivating the Cloud Vine
Tianzhushan Headquarters, within the Realm Lord's World.
"Mr. Lu Qingshan!"
A team of elite warriors from Tianzhu Mountain, dressed in standard battle uniforms, arrived at Lu Qingshan's residence and gently knocked on the door.
"Huh? It's finally here!"
Upon hearing the sound, Lu Qingshan, who was in the middle of cultivation, quickly smiled and then arrived at the gate of his residence.
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan, a hazy light emanated from the leader of this powerful team, a cosmic-level expert, and then enveloped Lu Qingshan completely.
"Beep! Identity confirmed!"
"Mr. Lu Qingshan, these are the goods you ordered through our Tianzhushan internal system!"
After confirming Lu Qingshan's identity, the leading cosmic-level expert quickly smiled and handed Lu Qingshan a silver metal box that they had been escorting.
"Thank you all!" Lu Qingshan reached out and took the silver metal box, then said with a smile.
Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, the leading cosmic-level expert smiled slightly and then said again, "If Mr. Lu Qingshan has nothing else to say, then we will take our leave!"
"Okay!" Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.
Upon hearing this, the team, led by a cosmic-level expert and consisting of ten other peak-level experts, quickly left Lu Qingshan's residence.
During the journey to the outside world, one of the Hengxing-level members couldn't help but ask, "Captain, aren't you being a little too polite to Lu Qingshan?"
"yes!"
Another star-level genius chimed in, "Even when we were transporting resources to those top-tier elites, you weren't this polite, Captain!"
In fact, this elite team is considered to be among the most elite within Tianzhu Mountain. Its members are all former Level 3 and Level 2 elites of Tianzhu Mountain, and it is led by a cosmic-level expert.
After all, the second-level and third-level elites inside Tianzhu Mountain are far inferior to the first-level elites in terms of talent. If nearly half of the first-level elites can break through to the cosmic level, then the probability of the second-level elites breaking through to the cosmic level is only one or two percent. As for the third-level elites, the probability of breaking through to the cosmic level is less than one in a thousand.
Tianzhu Mountain typically trains these level two and level three elites for about three thousand years. If they fail to become level one elites or break through to the cosmic level within this long period, they will need to take on long-term work tasks within Tianzhu Mountain.
These work tasks are completely different from the previous cultivation tasks. They are generally held in various departments within Tianzhu Mountain, and people are usually busy with all sorts of trivial matters, which greatly reduces the time available for cultivation.
The members of this elite team, all of whom were previously Level 2 and Level 3 elites within Tianzhu Mountain, and even the captain, who was at the Universe level, was in the same situation before. It was only later, through a long period of work, that he broke through to the Universe level, and his status and authority within Tianzhu Mountain were greatly enhanced.
"What do you know?"
The captain, who had already reached the cosmic level, quickly spoke up: "I once heard from a friend that he had just attended the disciple-acceptance ceremony of the Lord of Chongshan Realm with his teacher, and the newly accepted disciple of the Lord of Chongshan Realm is none other than Lu Qingshan!"
"The status of a Realm Lord's disciple far surpasses that of those top-tier elites! Just watch, Lu Qingshan probably hasn't been cultivating for long enough; he'll definitely become a top-tier elite very soon!"
"Heavens! The Lord of Chongshan Realm actually accepted Lu Qingshan as his disciple?"
"If only I could become a disciple of a World Lord-level expert, I would definitely be able to break through to the Universe level!"
"We struggle even to break through to the cosmic level, how could a World Lord-level expert possibly look down on us?"
"Yes! I've heard that some of the top-ranked geniuses among the elite are already capable of breaking through to the cosmic level at any time, but they're just not breaking through because they want to enjoy the privileges and resources of the elite!"
Lu Qingshan naturally had no way of knowing about the interactions between this elite team, but even if he did know, he certainly wouldn't care too much.
At this moment, Lu Qingshan had already returned to the living room of the mansion with the silver metal box he had received.
This silver metal box is about one meter long, half a meter wide, and thirty centimeters high.
After carefully opening the silver metal box, Lu Qingshan quickly saw a plant about 20 centimeters tall, resembling a gourd vine. This was the Moyun Vine seedling that Lu Qingshan had purchased, costing him over 90 billion gold in the Golden Lion City.
With this young Moyun Vine, if one were willing to provide it with resources of the same level as Wood Crystal, as long as the quantity is large enough, it could break through to the cosmic level.
Of course, now that Lu Qingshan possesses ample wealth, he naturally intends to nurture these Moyun Vine seedlings even better.
After taking out the seedling of the Moyun Vine, Lu Qingshan made a knife with his fingers and cut a wound on his right arm.
Bright red blood flowed from the wound and dripped onto the young seedling of the Moyun Vine, where it was completely absorbed.
After absorbing a large amount of Lu Qingshan's blood, the Moyun Vine finally recognized its master and became Lu Qingshan's partner in his adventures through the universe.
"The bond has been successfully established; the next step is nurturing!"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at another fruit inside the silver metal box, which was emitting a blood-red light.
If the 90 billion yuan spent on purchasing the Moyun Vine seedlings was insignificant to Lu Qingshan, then the resources required to purchase this fruit radiating a blood-red light were a real pain to his throat.
This fruit, radiating a crimson glow, is called the "Blood Spirit Fruit." It is a fruit that grows on the Blood Spirit Tree in a mysterious place in the universe, and it has a very magical effect on the evolution of plant seedlings.
More importantly, the effects of this Blood Spirit Fruit are very gentle and do not harm the roots of the plant seedlings in the slightest.
Of course, the price of this Blood Spirit Fruit is also extremely high. Although it is far less than the fruit that Babata used to lay the foundation for Moyun Vine in the original work, its price is still as high as 200 million universe coins.
After using the Blood Spirit Fruit to lay the foundation for the Cloud Vine, the Cloud Vine gained the potential to break through to the World Lord level.
Of course, if you want Moyun Vine to successfully break through to the World Lord level, you will need to spend a lot of resources to nurture it.
"We'll talk about the future later!"
With a thought, Lu Qingshan quickly fed the incomparably precious Blood Spirit Fruit to the Moyun Vine seedling that had already completed the process of recognizing its master.
After consuming this incredibly valuable Blood Spirit Fruit, the Moyun Vine seedling quickly began its first evolution.
"The evolution of this Cloud Vine should last about three days!"
After sensing the time required for this evolution from the seedling of the Moyun Vine, Lu Qingshan had a thought, and the Moyun Vine immediately shrank and merged directly into his skin.
At this moment, Mo Yun Teng's consciousness treated Lu Qingshan as an infant would treat its parents.
"Once its evolution is complete, we can proceed to the next stage of cultivation!"
Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at the last remaining treasure in the silver metal box.
This is a unit, totaling one hundred Qingguang fruits.
This Azure Light Fruit is a precious fruit used to cultivate spirit beasts and assist plant life. Just this one unit of Azure Light Fruit cost Lu Qingshan an astonishing 400 million cosmic coins, which is twice as expensive as that Blood Spirit Fruit.
Once Lu Qingshan's Cloud Vine completes its first evolution, it can consume the Azure Light Fruit to continue evolving. It will only take about fifty years for the Cloud Vine to successfully evolve to the first level of the Universe level.
Of course, compared to the Lan Ke Fruit that Luo Feng bought for 180 billion cosmic coins in the original work, this Qing Guang Fruit is definitely not worth mentioning.
However, the Lanco Fruit was never intended for use by planetary-level or eternal-level Cloud Vine!
In the original work, Hong's innately poor Moyun Vine was able to reach the third or fourth level of the universe level within three years after consuming that one unit of Lan Ke Fruit.
If it were Lu Qingshan's Cloud Vine, after using one unit of Lan Ke Fruit, it would at least reach the peak of the universe level.
Of course, in this vast universe, it's impossible for anyone to be as extravagant as Hong to use Lan Ke fruit to cultivate the Mo Yun Vine, which has a very poor foundation.
It's just that Hong had some affection for that Cloud Vine; otherwise, he would have had a chance to cultivate a Domain Lord-level Cloud Vine by spending over a hundred billion precious resources from the Universe City!
In short, there are countless ways to cultivate *Ivy truncata*.
The more solid the foundation of the Moyun Vine seedling, the higher its future growth potential will be. However, the resources required to advance to each level will be much greater.
If the foundation is not solid, the cultivation resources required before reaching the limit will be much less. However, after reaching the growth limit, the resources required to break through again will definitely exceed those of the solidly built Moyun Vine!
"Cultivating assisted life is truly not something ordinary people can do!"
After collecting the last unit of Azure Light Fruit, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Just cultivating this Cloud-Piercing Vine to the first level of the Universe level cost me six hundred million Universe Coins. That's enough to buy a powerful fifth-level Universe slave!"
"It's only because I'm absolutely certain I'll reach the cosmic level in the future, and I currently have no shortage of various cultivation resources; otherwise, I really wouldn't dare to spend so many resources to cultivate this Cloud-Piercing Vine!"
"Now that Moyun Teng has arrived, it's time to contact Teacher Kano and Yunshang!"
With this in mind, Lu Qingshan immediately connected to the virtual universe through the auxiliary AI Deep Blue consciousness.
In the mansion of Kano, on the Imperial Star of the Zichuan Empire.
At this moment, Kano's disciple Huang Ziwei was in the living room of the mansion, his face full of worry.
Previously, a super-large planet with abundant purple gold deposits was discovered near one of the inhabited planets under the control of the Kano family. According to the unspoken rules of the universe, the development rights of this planet should belong to the Kano family.
Unfortunately, the team that discovered this mega-planet was an adventurer squad from the Longkaqi family, the second-largest family in the Zichuan Empire.
It is important to know that Zijin is a B2 grade metal, and during the mining process, it is possible to extract C2 grade Zijin essence or even D2 grade Zijin mother metal.
The purple gold reserves on that super-large planet, once fully developed, could be worth as much as dozens of habitable planets.
For this reason, the adventurer team of the Longkachi family immediately reported the news back to the family after discovering the super-large planet.
Upon learning of this, the Longkachi family quickly decided to purchase the life-bearing planet near the super-giant planet from the Kano family.
That life-bearing planet was originally quite ordinary, but its sudden purchase by the Longkachi family quickly attracted the attention of the Kano family.
After some exploration, the Cano family naturally discovered the purple gold deposits on that super-large planet.
The surrounding planets have incredibly abundant purple gold deposits, so the value of that inhabited planet naturally skyrocketed. Even though mining purple gold is quite difficult and takes a long time, the value of that ordinary inhabited planet still soared from 1.3 trillion gold lion coins to 1.2 trillion gold lion coins. However, the Nalongkachi family still wanted to buy that inhabited planet at the original price.
The Cano family was naturally unwilling to accept this situation.
However, the power of the Nalongkaqi family is indeed quite large. It is not only a branch of a domain lord-level family, but also has nine universe-level powerhouses stationed within the Zichuan Empire. Its strength can be said to far exceed that of the Kano family.
Therefore, the reason why Kano and Huang Ziwei went to the Imperial Capital Star this time was to continue their exchanges with the Nalongkaqi family.
After all, this is a fortune of over ten trillion gold lion coins, which is extremely precious even for a cosmic-level powerhouse.
Just then, Cano suddenly returned to the mansion.
"teacher!"
Upon seeing Kano, Huang Ziwei quickly stood up and asked, "How is the situation? Is the Longkachi family willing to back down?"
"I've already reached an agreement with the Longkachi family!"
Kano quickly spoke up, saying, "The Longkachi family is willing to spend 1 billion Tianxing coins to purchase Planet Westan."
"This—how is this possible?"
Huang Ziwei was stunned after hearing what Kano said.
It's important to understand that even if a massive deposit of purple gold were discovered near the planet Westan, it would still require a long time and countless resources to develop.
In this scenario, a price tag of up to twelve trillion gold lion coins for the planet Westan would be quite good.
While the official value of 12 billion Tianxing Coins is equivalent to 12 trillion Golden Lion Coins, if you want to buy a life planet worth 1 trillion Golden Lion Coins, you generally only need to pay 700 million Tianxing Coins.
This means that 12 billion Tianxing coins are actually worth as much as 170 trillion Jinshi coins.
Given that their strength far surpasses that of the Kano family, it's already incredible that the Nalongkachi family didn't haggle when buying the life-bearing planet from the Kano family. How could they possibly raise the price on their own initiative?
