Chapter 316 A Bountiful Harvest! Turning the World into a Pasture! Celestial Dharma Form! New Effect for the Gate Master (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
boom!
Above the wilderness, a giant dragon flapped its wings, creating a sonic boom that shattered the clouds for miles around, soaring fearlessly under the moonlight and scaring away a large number of flying monsters.
Even the demons on the ground, affected by the ancient moon and preparing to transform, prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling in fear of the vast dragon's might.
The dragon arrogantly looked down upon everything, an invisible barrier of psychic energy spreading out around it, blocking the onslaught of the gale, and a figure stood on its back.
It was Lu Yu and Dandan.
Because the riding service of the Three Calamities Peacock was so poor, the mouse with perfect theoretical knowledge was successfully eliminated, making Lu Yu feel that it would be more fun to be a dragon knight.
"10g of Polygonatum odoratum, 20g of Epimedium brevicornu, 15g of powdered water chestnut, then add the juice made from boiled seashells..."
Lu Yu silently recited the mantra in his mind, a table in front of him, as he practiced potion making.
After hundreds of practice sessions, he had long since mastered potion making; the only thing he lacked was a potion deemed of good quality by the Key of Truth.
click!
In the potion, the spiritual essence of various extraordinary materials converged and collided, but under Lu Yu's control, they fused in an orderly manner, eventually turning into a light red liquid.
If Mao Guixian, a young married woman, were to see this, she would be absolutely shocked by Lu Yu's high level of proficiency with this basic potion.
In terms of quality alone, it's far superior to that of third- or fourth-year female students.
But Lu Yu frowned.
"Just a little bit more!"
His gaze was calm. Although he possessed the Eye of Truth and could see the correct method of refining, it was extremely difficult for him to put his knowledge into practice.
After all, he couldn't be omniscient and omnipotent, otherwise he could have directly seen the method to quickly turn a useless person into a great potion master and ascended to the top in one step.
There's nothing the eye of truth can't see, only things you haven't thought of.
But here's the question: if you really have that kind of power, why not just go straight to godhood?
Why go through all the trouble of becoming a great potion master?
Even so, Lu Yu only practiced occasionally, yet he had already caught up with some top potion geniuses—that's the power of knowledge.
Lu Yu put away the ninth potion. Although it didn't meet his requirements, he could sell it to the black market in one go. He could not only earn back the cost of the materials, but also make a small profit.
He continued refining, and by the time he made the twenty-ninth potion, the potion's spiritual energy in the test tube had gathered and turned dark red. The spiritual energy content of this single potion exceeded the total of the previous twenty-eight potions.
"It's finally done!"
Lu Yu looked delighted, but instead of checking the attributes, he carefully recalled what had just happened.
Although it was an accident with a bit of luck involved, the first success is a milestone, and all that's left is to practice until you get the hang of it.
Lu Yu was confident that he could refine the remaining fifty raw materials into five identical potions, with a success rate of about one in ten.
With more attempts, the success rate will continue to increase.
Immediately afterwards, Lu Yu began to check the buffs generated by the creation of the magic potion.
[Kidney-Strengthening Magic Drug]
[Description: This is a special formula developed by the great potion master Shen Hong. The original purpose was to enhance his own combat power, but because his own nature was too high, it could not work. So he could only pass it on to his students, ostensibly to give potion masters a guarantee.]
Made from ingredients such as Polygonatum odoratum and Trifolium repens, it possesses kidney-strengthening and body-improving effects, enhancing certain abilities. After the sect leader refined it to a high quality, it created the fixed buff "Nourishing Essence and Building Up Energy."
[Effect: After taking the potion, the kidneys will be greatly strengthened and will undergo special changes, accumulating and purifying essence to nourish the body. During the process, the recovery speed of essence, energy and spirit will be increased by 50%, and the body's breathing will be adjusted to perfection. It will have a boost effect on breathing skills and can bring the out-of-control spirituality of living beings, including those of the Eternal Sun Rank, back to balance. The price is a surge in desires.]
Duration: 24 hours. The same buff cannot be stacked. The physical enhancement effect will not disappear after the buff ends.
"It's actually a special cultivation-type buff."
Lu Yu's eyes lit up. He didn't care about the Great Alchemist's dark history. You should know that apart from his pet beasts, his strongest combat power comes from the Toad Ancestor [Celestial Breath].
It is the culmination of the Secret Martial Arts system and contains the secrets of a great being.
Each upgrade brings about a qualitative change, and once the Secret Martial Dharma Form is born, it will be enough to sweep through the Radiant Moon Rank.
While the toad oil from the ranch can improve proficiency, it takes twenty days to produce one unit, which is still too inefficient.
Now, with the help of the kidney-strengthening magic potion, although it is far less effective than toad oil, it can push him to the peak in the shortest time, producing special effects.
As for the potion's strengthening effects, they were useless to Lu Yu.
Because he's already too strong, if he gets any stronger, he'll easily overpower any weaklings or saintesses.
"But I never expected this medicine to work on someone at the Eternal Blazing Sun level!"
Lu Yu clicked his tongue in amazement. A basic magic potion could actually work on an ancient giant. If word got out, it would shake up the world of magic potions.
As life takes its first step toward eternity, the essence of the ancient giants is elevated, and even intermediate-level potions are no different from drinking water to them.
It's hard to get it to work, or rather, most of the bonuses aren't as strong as their base stats.
However, the forbidden rank is so overpowered that it directly gives basic potions the effects of top-tier potions.
It's hard to imagine... how terrifying the buffs from creating intermediate and advanced potions would be?
It is very likely that permanent abilities will emerge.
"However, this makes it harder to sell. If we sell it too low, we'll lose money. If we sell it too high, it will cause a worldwide sensation once it gets out. People will subconsciously think that it can work on the Eternal Giants and whether it can work on the Ecosystem Masters and True Kings, which will bring unnecessary trouble."
Lu Yu was somewhat troubled.
After all, earning less money is equivalent to losing a lot of money for the philanthropist Lu!
Selling is definitely the only option.
However, the quantity cannot be too large, otherwise it will easily expose oneself, so each one must be priced exorbitantly to create a rare and high-class image.
Go the luxury goods route!
"Looking at it this way, the most suitable people to sell it to are probably the disciples or collectors, or perhaps they could create a new alias..."
Lu Yu shook his head, not too bothered. After all, he didn't even have enough potions for himself right now, so it was too early to talk about these things.
Furthermore, potions provide fixed buffs; the Kidney Strengthening Potion will only generate the [Energy Conservation] buff.
The food upgraded from the Gluttony Cauldron is classified as a different kind of food in the [Lord of the Gate] talent assessment. In other words, although they look the same, their essence has been changed under the influence of the power of the rules.
Lu Yu was filled with regret, then swallowed the magic potion in one gulp. His desire surged, but it was instantly suppressed by the [Rancher] puzzle piece, and all distracting thoughts vanished.
boom!
The next moment, his vital energy surged, and his kidneys became like a perpetual motion machine, constantly refining his own vital energy, feeding it back to his whole body, and strengthening the whole body as a whole.
In many theories, the human body is considered an integrated whole. In past lives, it is believed that one is a microcosm that can resonate with heaven and earth. When one's essence and energy are sufficient, one's self-awareness will be strengthened, that is, the "spirit" will become stronger, and at that time it will be able to reflect one's own qi and blood.
In the world of beast taming, the human body is considered to be a vessel of spiritual energy, but it is inherently incomplete and requires a puzzle as its core, with beasts used to assemble it.
Therefore, no matter how powerful the pet beast is, the beast tamer is the core and must transform himself.
For example, starting from the Morning Star rank, one can use the power of the Spiritual Puzzle to easily suppress life below the Morning Star rank, even without a pet.
Starting with the Radiant Moon Steps, one gathers true words; the Eternal Blazing Sun Steps further contain legendary qualities, granting immortality to the individual. Stepping into the first gate of eternity grants a lifespan of ten thousand years—all are transformations of the essence of life.
Not to mention the Ecological Lord and the True King, who single-handedly evolved an ecological kingdom, with all things submitting to them, standing at the pinnacle of the mortal world.
Beastmasters and beast tamers are complementary companions on the spiritual path, travelers on the path of life transformation, and share a bond that transcends kinship.
Regardless of the method, both strengthen oneself and give back to the whole.
Under the nourishment of the abundant essence, Lu Yu's soul became clearer and more solid, which also accelerated the rhythm of the celestial breathing, constantly tempering his body.
The illusory image of the forty-eight-armed sacred dragon tree behind him was also slowly closing in, like a special "cocoon". Once it breaks out of the cocoon, it will be a completely new transformation.
If this continues, the Secret Martial Dharma Image will soon be born!
"It's time to get down to business!"
Lu Yu took a sip of cola, looked up, and gazed at the massive black clouds in the distance, which flickered with light and shadow, with countless lightning bolts darting about, as if a thunderstorm was imminent.
"roar!"
Egg soared through the air without fear, preparing to pass directly through these thunderstorm clouds. Just as it was about to enter the dark clouds, it suddenly stopped, its dragon wings flapped, and it created a distance of a thousand meters.
next moment.
Rumble!
Thunder roared throughout the storm cloud, countless electric snakes darted through the dark clouds, annihilating everything and illuminating the dim world as if it were daytime in an instant.
If it weren't for the timely dodge, even a mountain peak would have been annihilated by this scorching electric current.
Crackling sounds!
Countless purple arcs of electricity converged in the air, transforming into a ring of current that spread outwards, sweeping across the world.
"hiss--"
However, as these currents approached Lu Yu's vicinity, enormous sea anemones composed of purple electric arcs suddenly emerged, their dozens of tentacles wriggling and roaring as they charged forward.
"A monarch-class thunderstorm anemone!" Lu Yu narrowed his eyes, recognizing its identity.
This is a monster born from the ecosystem of lightning, mostly appearing during thunderstorms in electric lakes where large amounts of plasma converge.
Its initial form is the Thunder Anemone Seed Fairy, a special elemental plant life form. It is shaped like a seed the size of a thumb. It will gradually grow as it absorbs plasma, eventually sprouting and transforming into a Thunderstorm Anemone.
Its racial skill is [Thunderstorm Avatar], which can generate a large number of anemone fragments condensed from lightning.
Therefore, a single thunderstorm anemone can condense into a massive thunderstorm cloud, destroying everything.
boom!
This giant thunderstorm anemone avatar enveloped Lu Yu, but before it could get close, it was pierced by the Great Sacred Tree Spear formed from the Forty-Eight Arms Sacred Dragon Tree, shattering into countless arcs of electricity.
But the next moment, more Thunderstorm Anemones emerged from the thunderclouds, appearing with lightning, but they were all pierced by the Great Sage Tree Spear and Dragon Breath, turning into nothingness.
The testicles beneath him opened their eyes wide, slyly looking around as if searching for prey, ready to feast.
"As expected of a top-tier prodigy, your perception is in no way inferior to that of a Radiant Moon rank cultivator. It's unbelievable that you came from an ordinary background, yet possess the potential to suppress an entire era. It makes me wonder..."
"I'm going to crush you!"
A sound came from the thunderstorm cloud, and lightning flashed, but there was no radiance. A huge black shadow appeared at the edge of the thunderstorm cloud and pierced through the cloud layer.
It was an enormous, mid-level Moonlit Thunderstorm Anemone, a full hundred meters tall, with hundreds of petal-shaped lightning tentacles that swayed constantly.
The image is enough to kill anyone with trypophobia on the spot.
At the center of the tentacles stood a bald, towering man, a full four meters tall. The blue and white robe he wore, embroidered with overlapping marks of the Storm Scepter and the Thunder Scepter, looked like a tight-fitting garment on him, bulging from his muscles.
In comparison, his mind was rather sophisticated.
The first thing that comes to mind is...
Devil Muscle Man!
Just standing there created a terrifying sense of oppression.
"The Storm Church, High Priest Lei Jie, who is wanted by the authorities."
Lu Yu raised an eyebrow; he was no stranger to them.
Previously, when he was traveling to the capital to take the college entrance examination on the Starship, he passed through a small town under the jurisdiction of the Celestial Phenomenon Domain. The town was attacked by the Storm Church, who used the [Thunderstorm] technique to summon heavy rain and flood it. They also donated 500,000.
The high priest of the Radiant Moon rank in the Church of Storms looked down at Lu Yu and chuckled:
"You don't seem nervous at all."
"The mid-level Radiant Moon Realm is indeed very strong, but it's not enough to make me fear!" Lu Yu stood with his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Is there anyone else? Otherwise, I... I haven't had enough of fighting."
His expression was calm, as if he were stating a common sense statement.
"One mid-tier Radiant Moon Realm cultivator is certainly not enough for a new king capable of breaching several fertility altars and hunting down the Matriarch, but what if I were added to the mix?"
A voice came from behind Lu Yu. A gaunt old man wearing the robe of the Church of the Underworld strolled over. Wherever he passed, everything perished. Large numbers of flowers, grasses and trees withered and turned into mud in an instant, transforming into purple underworld soil that resembled a land of death.
The High Priest of the Church of the Underworld! His body emanated the aura of a mid-level Radiant Moon cultivator!
In addition, two more figures appeared on either side.
One of them, though still human in upper body, had its lower body transformed into tree roots, inlaid with deeply distorted human faces.
With each step, a hoarse sound, like the rubbing of old tree roots, emanated from his contorted face:
"...All things return to the God of Su..."
As for the other one, he was dressed in a black robe and showed no unusual signs, completely blocking all of Lu Yu's escape routes.
"So it's the Church of the God of Ten Thousand Beards, who worships wooden blocks of wood..." Lu Yu's gaze faltered, then he looked at the black-robed figure and sneered:
"Stop pretending. I can already smell the rotten stench of fake nobility on you. Apart from the Star Family... there's really no one else like you in the entire Alliance."
Moreover, during this time of silent moon, everyone is preoccupied with their own troubles. The only ones who could hate me this much are the gay second elder of the Star Mine Ye family and that idiot patriarch.
The figure in black robes trembled slightly but did not respond, but that was enough for Lu Yu to confirm his identity.
Ye Lianqing, that old man, had his reputation ruined by Lu Yu, and he would definitely break down when faced with ridicule. Since he didn't show much emotional fluctuation, the answer is obvious.
Ye Huihai, the head of the Ye family.
"Hehe, this guy is really smart. Even we weren't sure who you were, but he guessed it."
No wonder you went to such lengths, even joining forces with an evil cult, to bury him. Your family must have been having a lot of trouble sleeping and eating these past few days.
The High Priest of the Underworld smiled, revealing a set of yellowed old teeth, and did not seem too surprised.
By simply putting yourself in their shoes, you can identify several suspects.
Moreover, Lu Yu's growth rate during this period was truly astonishing. He showed no signs of encountering any bottlenecks, but instead became more and more courageous in battle, and even began to plot against the pseudo-Eternal Sun.
Most importantly, it succeeded!
Once Lu Yu reaches the peak of the Radiant Moon realm, he can defy the Eternal Blazing Sun. Judging from his past achievements, he is extremely vengeful and will definitely make the Ye family of Star Mine disappear from the annals of history.
By then, no one will bother arguing with a promising prodigy over a dead person.
The alliance will likely appear dissatisfied on the surface and conduct a perfunctory investigation, but deep down they might even celebrate with champagne because one of the dark forces in the Dark Star Region has been eliminated.
The relationship between the two is irreconcilable; it's a fight to the death!
The man in black robes glanced at the High Priest of the Underworld and said calmly:
"So what if you know? We already used the one-time-use oath-type rule-based artifact, the [Oath Pearl], before we even came. We can't reveal any information about this plan. Or do you want to test the power of the rules?"
Ye Huihai was described by many as a venomous snake. He would lie dormant for days and nights until he struck, when he would go all out, biting his prey and injecting all his venom, giving it no chance to resist.
Therefore, he naturally made full preparations to ensure that he would not leave any future troubles for himself and his family!
Ye Huihai looked at Lu Yu and said calmly:
"There's no need to delay any longer. The Grand Elder, who is at the peak of the Radiant Moon realm, has already taken action, opening the [Azure Meteor Leaf] to completely seal off the void in this area. You won't be able to teleport away through the void, and no one will come to your aid."
Lu Yu, your talent is indeed very strong, and you are no fool to have reached this point. This time you are probably trying to lure people in. With your strength, even an ordinary mid-level Radiant Moon cultivator might be killed.
Unfortunately, this time, it was one peak-stage Radiant Moon Realm expert and four mid-stage Radiant Moon Realm experts!
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu's face suddenly darkened.
This scene brought smiles to the faces of the four of them.
The so-called "Little World Yellow Hair" and "Secret Realm War God" are nothing but caged beasts!
The High Priest of the Underworld smiled and said, "Let me reiterate, as agreed, I will keep everything about this plan confidential, but his and that dragon's corpses belong to me. I can't wait to see what kind of favor I will receive from my lord for burying the ancient king's bloodline prodigy and the pure-blooded dragon in the Underworld."
The Church of the Underworld can receive different blessings by burying different lives in the underworld.
Lu Yu and the Hundred-Eyed Devouring Dragon, one is suspected to be of ancient royal bloodline, and the other is suspected to be a descendant of the Crimson Hundred-Eyed Dragon King.
After burial, it would be enough to grant the High Priest of the Underworld the blessing of ascending to the Eternal Sun, or even further...
Become an earthly angel bestowed by the god of the underworld!
Even if the alliance hunts him down relentlessly, it will only become food for him to grow stronger!
The High Priest of the Church of Ten Thousand Beards said, "His soul and that peacock of the Three Plagues belong to me; it has been a long time since any new faces have been added to my roots."
The High Priest of Thunderstorm laughed loudly, "Then I'll choose the Radiant Crimson Dragon Ant and the Paper Knight. They look really exciting and will give me a good time."
As he spoke, Lei Jie licked his lips. His tastes were rather unique; he didn't like conventionally beautiful women who were too delicate and weak—they were simply uninteresting.
It fell apart in just a few moments.
He likes strong creatures, the stronger the better!
Ye Huihai said calmly, "I want the Dream Eater Cult's greatest legacy, and the Grand Elder wants his special stellar weapon."
The others had no objection to this, or rather...
There's no need to turn against someone before you've got the spoils!
"In that case, everyone go all out! This guy has too many trump cards up his sleeve; don't give him any chance to fight back!"
Ye Huihai shouted, and a vast expanse of starlight swept away.
"A thousand lightning bolts strike in an instant!"
The thunderous sea anemone roared, and countless pillars of lightning swept in, piercing the space wherever they passed.
"The Hand That Buries the Emperor!"
The earth trembled, and the underworld surged, transforming into a gigantic hand that blotted out the sky, revealing stark white bones as it reached out to grab Lu Yu.
"The Abyss of Ten Thousand Needles!"
Beneath the High Priest of Ten Thousand Beards, countless roots spread out, like human-faced snakes with faces, transforming into a boiling sea of trees that swept through.
Four mid-level Radiant Moon Realm experts attacked simultaneously, while a peak Radiant Moon Realm expert was responsible for sealing off and finishing off the remaining enemies.
Faced with this seemingly inescapable fate, Lu Yu raised his head and smiled calmly: "Since that's the case, then I'll show you my ultimate move!"
However, the four ignored them and continued their attack!
Ye Huihai sneered:
"With this unwillingness, let's set off!"
boom!
As starlight swept in, Ye Huihai, just to be on the safe side, closed the distance, not giving Lu Yu a chance to escape.
However, he saw the other person reveal a strange smile and say something meaningful.
"If I can drink a bottle of Coke in this lifetime, then it's all worth it!"
next moment!
Rumble!
With a deafening roar, Lu Yu and the dragon beneath him self-destructed, transforming into a terrifying soul shockwave that enveloped an area of ten thousand meters in radius.
"hateful!"
The four people's souls trembled violently, almost losing control of their spirituality. Ye Huihai was almost severely injured, with several cracks appearing in his soul, and excruciating pain permeating the air.
But they couldn't afford to treat their injuries; they stared in disbelief at the deep crater before them.
Lu Yu...self-destructed?
Is this guy really that tough?
"He's not dead!"
Ye Yin, the white-haired and white-bearded elder of the Ye family of Xingkuang, arrived bathed in light. Looking at this scene, he said coldly:
"This guy's illusion abilities are truly terrifying; he even fooled us."
"hateful!"
Ye Huihai's face was gloomy. If Lu Yu escaped and reported the matter to the Alliance, the entire Ye family would be wiped out.
Last time it was just a suspicion, but once it's confirmed, it's tantamount to breaking the rules of the game.
Ye Yin saw through his thoughts and said calmly, "Don't worry too much. He can't yet achieve the ability of an ancient giant to manifest his divine power across thousands of miles, so he must be casting illusions on the side. He's probably hiding them beforehand."
However, I've already sealed off this area with the Sky-Covering Star Leaf; he can't escape. Let's all work together to search!
"fine!"
At this point, the five men breathed a sigh of relief and then began a relentless search for Lu Yu's hiding place.
However, thousands of kilometers away, in a remote valley near the dark star field.
The Church of the Underworld, the Church of the Storm, and the Church of the Myriad Mustaches, totaling over 1,300 elite followers, are stationed here, preparing to launch a joint attack on several allied cities after the three high priests return, using the lives of ordinary people as sacrifices to strengthen their power.
But at this moment, the dark sky descended upon this place, blocking all information transmission. The place was already littered with corpses. They tried to resist, but they were pierced by countless spider silks and pinned to the ground.
"hateful……"
A mutated believer at the peak of the Morning Star realm roared in rebellion, but he ran headlong into the Paper Knight. The powerful force he had gained by sacrificing his humanity was utterly powerless against it.
Click click click!
With one hand, he crushed all the bones in the body into dust and threw them on the ground like garbage.
This scene terrified the other believers, who fled in panic. They, who once regarded human life as worthless, had become cattle and sheep to be slaughtered, and were constantly hunted down.
Lu Yu strolled among them, stripping away their souls and taking them to the ranch, while their corpses were extracted as materials. As for the looted money and materials, they were confiscated.
He never intended to go fishing in the first place.
After all, too many people want to kill him. Being too arrogant won't bring any benefits; on the contrary, it might attract big sharks or even whales.
If this attracts the attention of an ancient giant, the entire operation would be ruined, which would contradict the principle of the strategy of bullying the weak.
Therefore, while he ostensibly left, he actually had Shushu track down several spies hidden in the Imperial University, who learned that the Ye family of Xingkuang would make a move, in addition to three churches.
So he decisively sent his two rat clones, each carrying a piece of illusionary spider silk woven by the little spider, and then activated it...
Base-trading tactic!
Since you want to hunt me, then just destroy your opponent's lair.
Although the precious materials were hidden on the bodies of several high priests, Lu Yu also gained a large number of treasures from the followers of the evil god, such as more than five catties of Netherworld Soil, the Storm Oil from the Storm Church, and the Purple Poison Rotten Wood from the Ten Thousand Beards Order.
The miscellaneous haul, plus the bounty on the group itself, amounted to approximately 90 million.
This allowed Lu Yu to make a fortune!
"This isn't acting on behalf of Heaven; it's clearly a way to make money!"
Lu Yu sighed. At the same time, the hamster in Lu Yu's pocket poked its head out and said:
"Xiu Ren, the two rat clones have been killed in action."
Although she pretended to be serious, the smile on her lips was harder to suppress than AK's.
Not only were two stubborn worker rats eliminated, but the worker rats could also embezzle two sums of compensation money, doubling the happiness.
However, Lu Yu's next sentence struck Shushu like a thunderbolt.
"I know, there's something I forgot to tell you. Before the rat clone left, it told me that the compensation would be deposited in the bank account that the worker rats opened with the little spider."
"Damn it!" The mouse was furious, feeling that it had been tricked by the mouse clone.
Lu Yu smiled without saying a word, and had the little spider open the void gate. He stepped through it and arrived once again in Star Mine City, in front of the Ye family's residence.
It should be noted that the Ye family of Xingkuang only has three Radiant Moon Realm experts in total. With two of them withdrawn at once, their defenses are severely weakened, leaving them wide open to Lu Yu.
"Those who attack me will pay the price!"
Lu Yu stretched out his hand, and the phantom of an ancient and mysterious ranch descended, enveloping the entire settlement in the horrified gazes of all the Ye family members of Star Mine.
"Turn my enemies into livestock!"
