The Great Xia Dynasty's Longevity Begins with Connecting to the Swallowed Starry Sky

Chapter 145 Overnight Riches, First Stage Passed, Fragments of the Primordial Treasure Ship

When Qin Hao went outside, he saw a group of people, and the leader was actually an Immortal.

Although in terms of presence, he was far inferior to his senior brothers and sisters.

But it is also truly immortal.

"Immortal Lord?"

It seems she must be the soul slave of some senior female or male student.

"Lord Qin Hao, this is what I was ordered to deliver. Please accept it."

There were quite a few things, piled together in several boxes.

Qin Hao simply used his World Ring to store it.

Anyway, until I actually get my hands on it, I won't know if it's a storage ring or something else.

Although storage equipment is precious, having a master who has been granted the title of King, plus so many senior brothers and sisters who have been granted the titles of King and Marquis, is a great advantage.

A storage ring is nothing special.

After accepting the gifts, the group said goodbye.

However, one of the realm lords remained.

"My name is Godwin, a peak realm lord. I have come to serve under Lord Qin Hao on the orders of Lord Xiao Dong."

This is what they call a bodyguard who runs errands for you and protects you.

Because Qin Hao used his future self to become the disciple of the Illusionary Butterfly King, his senior brothers and sisters all knew his name.

The Illusionary Butterfly King also instructed him not to tell anyone else about his three bodies in one body.

"Since you want to use another body to join the Virtual Universe Company, become a core member, and enter Chaos City to fleece people, then don't reveal the secret of your three bodies in one body."

Qin Hao was a little embarrassed at the time, but then he listened to advice and agreed.

"it is good."

Qin Hao readily agreed, then summoned Isadora: "Make the arrangements. This is Godwin, a guard sent by my second senior brother. He's a peak Realm Lord. If there's anything dangerous at the Heavenly Craft Pavilion, just have him handle it."

Godwin's arrival stirred something in Qin Hao's heart.

"Perhaps, we can consider the matter of Locke's Divine Water."

If it were only Lord Luo of the Time Realm, Qin Hao would have to worry that the other party might not be able to hold back and take action because of the value of the Locke Divine Water.

Although that possibility is very low.

Qin Hao is now the opponent's hope for advancement.

Even if Luo, the Lord of Time Realm, captures him, he may not be able to advance.

However, the Butterfly King and his group will not let him go afterward.

It is tantamount to isolating oneself from the human race.

Furthermore, Qin Hao did not restrict the other party's opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Book Stele at all.

However, each time, a considerable amount of contribution is required.

Lord Luo of the Time Realm makes offerings to the Heavenly Craft Pavilion and receives a large amount of contributions every year.

However, these contributions are insufficient to exchange for the opportunity to comprehend the Heavenly Book Stele.

In his spare time, Luo also needs to do chores for the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion.

For example, instructing Hong and the others was something he did voluntarily, and it was also his duty.

After thinking for a moment, Qin Hao didn't say anything more.

Instead, they started by taking stock of the things that their senior brothers and sisters had sent.

Upon opening the first box, you'll find a sapling and ten fruits.

Yanlan fruit tree and Yanlan fruit?

Is this the treasure worth tens of thousands of Chaos Units?

Qin Hao could say that he was somewhat incredulous before he received the actual items.

Although immortals can make money very quickly, treasures are clearly more valuable to them.

But the fact that something worth tens of thousands of Hunyuan units was delivered directly was still quite astonishing.

The Yanlan fruit tree is still in its juvenile stage and cannot bear fruit yet.

But if this thing is cultivated well, it may be able to advance to the Immortal quality in the future.

This is the hen that lays golden eggs indefinitely.

"Although the possibility is very low, and it is said that it requires the secret techniques and aura of the mermaid clan to advance the Yanlan Fruit Tree."

However, this may not necessarily be necessary when it comes to spiritual plants.

The Butterfly Wing Clan are the best Spirit Plant Masters, and Qin Hao has already inherited the Spirit Plant Master's legacy.

Immediately, Qin Hao placed the Yanlan Fruit Tree in the Spirit Herb Garden and passed on the Spirit Plant Master's legacy to Die Meng.

At that moment, Die Meng was under the big ailanthus tree. As the clan leader, she was the only one who could rest there.

Yes, he is the only person besides Qin Hao.

Qin Hao did not actually restrict the Butterfly Wing Clan from going to the Great Chun Tree; it was Die Meng, as the clan leader, who made the decision herself.

Of course, as a group, complete equality is impossible.

He also approved of Diemeng's approach.

Moreover, only those who make the greatest contributions and achieve the most merits will be given a certain reward.

The time spent living under the big ailanthus tree is one of the rewards.

"I guarantee I will complete the mission, Master."

Qin Hao smiled upon hearing Die Meng's words.

Open another box, this time containing two pairs of smoky shells and twenty smoky pearls.

Five more four-star accounts in hand.

There are a total of 100,000 mixed units.

"It's a pity I couldn't bear to sell it, otherwise I would have become rich overnight."

Qin Hao didn't know how to cultivate the Smoke Water Shell, so he simply handed it over to Die Meng to handle.

"Speaking of which, the Dragon Palace of Pengze Lake actually has some rather rare shellfish populations. I seem to have forgotten about it before; perhaps we could cultivate some in the Spirit Herb Garden?"

Hmm, Qin Hao suddenly remembered that he should also build some new functional buildings.

"The spirit beast garden, and the aquatic breeding pool."

The former is for cultivating land-based spirit beasts, while the latter is for cultivating underwater spirit beasts.

Qin Hao has not built any new functional buildings recently.

These two new functional buildings were just completed.

Qin Hao doesn't have any land-based spirit beasts yet.

They placed the two pairs of water clams into the aquarium and notified Die Meng.

Despite the increased workload, Diemeng not only didn't complain, but was actually quite happy.

In her mind, this was a sign that Qin Hao trusted her.

"That's right, we still have too few people."

The Butterfly Wing Tribe consists only of women, and their method of reproduction is also quite unique.

In fact, this is also related to their talent.

When they mature to a certain extent, the innate energy within them also reaches a certain level.

At this time, they can find some old trees, then inject their innate energy into them, and dedicate a portion of it to nurturing the egg of a new member of their tribe.

As time goes on, the life force in the tree will be absorbed by these eggs.

When it matures, a new Butterfly Wing will be born from it.

It sounds a bit like the legendary elves, born from the Tree of Life.

The general situation is similar.

Butterfly dreamed that her master was constantly searching for new members for them.

But they themselves also need to work hard.

"Master, I will do my best to complete the mission."

As Die Meng spoke, she first went to the aquarium to check on the situation.

Afterwards, he gathered his clansmen and began to tell his story.

"We have even more work to do now."

Then, she explained about the spirit beast garden and the aquatic breeding pool.

The butterfly-winged tribe below were extremely excited, but also a little worried.

“We still have too few people. We are already exhausted from taking care of such a large herb garden and world ring. With these other tasks, we don’t have enough people.”

"Yes, you're right."

Die Meng nodded: "Therefore, our people need to increase. On the one hand, our master will save our compatriots in time, but this takes time and opportunity. On the other hand, we are almost ready to cultivate new people."

"this?"

Another member of the Butterfly Wing Clan asked with some concern, "But this will take away a lot of our innate energy and life force."

"For our master, and for the continuation of our race, this is what we should do."

Qin Hao naturally noticed the meeting of the Butterfly Wing Clan.

He happened to be assigning the task to the Butterfly Wing Clan and overheard it.

It was not intentional.

However, Qin Hao remembered the secret technique he had just obtained from Xie Lingyun.

"Butterfly Dream, you need a lot of life to nurture your new people?"

Qin Hao's voice suddenly rang out, startling Die Meng.

But then she realized that it was her master's voice.

After hesitating for a moment, Die Meng nodded: "Yes, nurturing new members is indeed a very costly process for us. Moreover, diverting a portion of our talent power will reduce our work efficiency for a short period of time. That's why I hesitated before, but Master, don't worry. For your sake and the continuation of our race, we will not hesitate."

Qin Hao could see, of course, that some of the Butterfly Wing Clan did not actually want to do this.

Because this would shorten their lifespan.

Qin Hao thought for a moment and said, "I have a secret technique called the Fate Contract."

It can collect the escaping life force of plants.

You can also share the collected vitality with others.

I'll give you a little bit of life force; try it and see if it can replenish your depleted strength and life force.

As he spoke, Qin Hao's consciousness stirred, and a sliver of life fell to the ground.

He had already learned it in the Qianyang Realm, and naturally he hadn't fallen behind in the Devouring Star World either.

I already learned it before.

It is now slowly absorbing the dissipated vitality.

Butterfly Dream hadn't held out much hope, but since it was her master's wish, she naturally wouldn't disobey.

But as soon as this life force subsided, Die Meng was jolted awake.

It seems like it could work?

She quickly flew to an ancient tree, separated a portion of her innate power, and merged it with her own life force to form a new butterfly egg.

Afterwards, Qin Hao noticed that Die Meng's energy expenditure must have been quite high.

Her face was a little pale.

Even its wings became weak, and it almost fell.

As soon as Qin Hao's life contract activated, life force descended, quickly replenishing Die Meng's depletion.

Not only vitality, but also innate strength, are rapidly recovering.

"It's useful, master, it's useful."

In this way, their tribe will grow in number.

Ethnic prosperity is just around the corner.

However, won't the owner expend too much energy?
Qin Hao thought for a moment and said to Die Meng, "Although my life contract can help you recover."

But a portion of your essence has still been consumed.

Therefore, you need to be careful when you reproduce in the future.

Each clan member should not have too many offspring.

Qin Hao made this arrangement for one reason: they would indeed consume their life essence.

Excessive consumption of one's vital essence will still affect lifespan.

Furthermore, it will also affect their future potential.

Among them, Die Meng is still the strongest.

It is a stellar-level seventh stage.

Speaking of which, their living environment has improved a lot since they started following Qin Hao.

And you don't have to worry about being captured and enslaved.

When one frequently uses their innate abilities to cultivate spiritual plants and beasts, it is actually a form of cultivation.

The stronger they are, the more powerful their talents become.

Qin Hao also needs to consider the future improvement of the grade and quality of the spiritual herbs in his spiritual herb garden.

The strength of these butterfly-winged beings also needs to be improved, otherwise they will be unable to be cultivated. After settling things in, Qin Hao's eyes lit up.

On the one hand, the speed at which the life force is gathered by the life contract is also limited.

It is also necessary to retain a large amount of vitality for unforeseen needs.

Both combat fatigue and healing can be absorbed from the Life Pact to improve one's survivability.

"Continue unpacking."

The gifts from the eleventh and seventeenth senior sisters have been received.

Besides, the second senior brother directly sent a realm lord slave to obey his orders.

These two senior sisters received the most generous gifts.

Then, the other senior sisters either gave her precious metal ores.

Or perhaps it's some kind of divine weapon.

They're all quite valuable, but for immortality, they're just a drop in the ocean.

The nineteenth senior brother sent a lot of domain lord-level ore, the amount of which was about three square kilometers.

"Immortal, how magnificent."

Even if the other senior sisters gave away divine weapons, the quantity was definitely not small.

Knowing that they had a powerful force and needed to support many subordinates, they directly sent over a complete unit of weapons.

"That's not bad either."

Regarding the large amount of metal ore sent by his nineteenth senior brother, Qin Hao planned to look at the harvest from his past self's Hongmeng realm before deciding what to forge.

In the past few days, the past self has indeed begun the next stage of the first phase.

Many people rested for three days, and when the inheritance test began again, they found that their understanding of the previous information had become somewhat vague.

Then, unsurprisingly, many of them had their scores reduced to below 80.

Then it was wiped out.

"what!"

A scream rang out, but Hongmeng ignored it.

Of course he knew what was going on.

Do these people think that once they get past the first hurdle, they can sit back and relax?

Qin Hao, however, sensed a great deal of malice from this.

Each level tests a lot of things.

However, the intervals are not very long.

"To be honest, if you don't have some strength, coming here to undergo the inheritance assessment is just a death sentence."

Hongmeng kept thinking, his hands never stopping, selecting the right materials from the more than 30,000 available.

Each time an item is selected, a score will appear on the projection screen in front of you.

Choosing the right one is definitely a plus.

If you pick the wrong answer, you'll immediately lose points.

The intelligent life form responsible for the selection, or rather, the follower of that overlord, a mechanical venerable, didn't care at all about the order in which you were chosen.

You can complete the selection process in the assessment task.

"Moreover, this direct display of point deductions might make some people even more nervous."

I was terrified that my choice was wrong, and I became even more nervous when I saw the points being deducted.

It seems that Venerable Anders has no intention of choosing a successor.

Or is there another plan?

Hongmeng inwardly grumbled. As for the information about this inheritance, he had already verified it and it had been transmitted to him through the Hongmeng Treasure Mirror.

It's supposed to be a selection process for successors, but the assessment is far too rigorous.

However, since this selection process for succession has been around for many years, HarmonyOS believes that there are still basic rules in place.

Moreover, he was not afraid of the other party's methods, so he was not worried and was able to make choices calmly here with a normal mind.

Thinking it over, he looked at something that looked like panda poop not far away and picked it out.

This thing looks a bit disgusting, after all, even though there are rumors that panda poop has a bamboo fragrance and is quite nutritious.

But poop is poop.

Intelligent beings will always feel a sense of unease.

"You have chosen the correct third ornament. Congratulations, Hongmeng of the human race. You have successfully passed the first stage of the test."

You have the following options.

"First, take all the materials you selected during this process, along with the information you remember about these materials, and leave the selection process."

"Also, you may choose any three treasures from the vault and take them with you when you leave."

"But if you choose to leave, the result is that you give up the selection process for the second and third stages. The legacy will have nothing to do with you."

For a long time, there was no response from Hongmeng.

The sound continued.

"The second option is to continue participating in the selection. However, withdrawal is not allowed in the second and third stages of the selection. In other words, once you participate, you must continue. There is no way to leave halfway, and this time, if you fail, your soul will be annihilated, and the means of resurrection will be useless."

"Please choose carefully, as once selected, it cannot be changed."

There is actually some information about this inheritance in the virtual universe.

After all, it has been passed down quite a few times over the years.

Some of the survivors did speak out.

But it's difficult to find useful information in it.

It is true that you cannot withdraw from the second and third stages of this selection process.

There is absolutely no information about these two phases in the virtual universe.

Qin Hao was unaware that he couldn't find the information because he lacked the necessary permissions.

Or is it really not true?

Unable to determine the exact outcome, Qin Hao was not in a hurry.

However, he wasn't worried about his life, so he was just pretending to hesitate.

At the same time, a huge sound rang out inside the palace.

"Congratulations to the human race for being the first to complete all the tests in the first stage."

Congratulations to him for achieving a perfect score on the assessment.

He will receive a reward.

First, all materials and knowledge.

Second, choose any three treasures from the treasury.

Inside the palace, in the other branch halls, those undergoing assessments all wore wry smiles upon hearing this.

While they are still struggling, others have already completed the assessment.

Moreover, it was a perfect score.

Some people panicked, and when people panic, they may make the wrong choices.

One of the boys from a branch of the human race with pointed heads panicked and grabbed the wrong thing.

He immediately shouted, "I grabbed the wrong one! I meant to grab the one next to me!"

But the voice in the air ignored him.

Instead, a red light appeared.

"Incorrect choice, two points deducted. Your score has dropped to 79, below 80. Eliminated!"

A cold voice, devoid of any emotion.

The horned human boy screamed and ran, trying to leave this place.

But the red light representing annihilation fell, completely dissolving it.

Little by little, inch by inch, it disappeared without a trace.

It's like a piece of iron dropped into sulfuric acid.

No, if you put a piece of iron into sulfuric acid, it will actually produce some bubbles.

The horned human boy was obliterated without leaving a trace.

Hongmeng suddenly asked, "I was the first to complete the assessment, and with a perfect score. Don't I get any special rewards?"

The sound paused again.

It seems like they are thinking, or rather, weighing things.

The atmosphere was a bit stagnant.

But soon, a sound rang out.

"You are allowed to choose two additional treasures."

"You wouldn't be hiding the treasures that should be there, so I can't see them, would you?"

Because he no longer had to fear being wiped out, Hongmeng spoke much more casually.

A palpable killing intent enveloped him, but Hongmeng gritted his teeth and felt no other discomfort.

After a long pause, the voice rang out again: "No."

It seems that they originally knew how.

Therefore, there are some things you have to fight for yourself.

If you don't fight for it yourself, then it's only natural that you'll be ignored.

"Can I choose the treasures first, and then make a decision?"

"can."

The voice was clearly impatient.

However, HarmonyOS doesn't care anymore.

"Okay, take me to choose some treasures."

As Hongmeng's voice faded, a rainbow of light descended, teleporting Hongmeng away.

Having already experienced it before, Hongmeng wasn't afraid of death anyway, so it didn't resist at all.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself in a treasure vault.

The dazzling light emanating from the various treasures before him almost blinded Hongmeng.

"As expected, this is the treasure trove of a hegemon, and a hegemon who made his name by refining treasures, plus he has one, or even several, Venerables under his command. How could there be a lack of treasures?"

Harmony smiled and began making his selections.

You have half a day to choose.

Perhaps it was to retaliate against the previous problems with HarmonyOS, or perhaps it was to express dissatisfaction with his suspicion of him.

The voice sounded again, limiting Hongmeng's time to choose a treasure.

HarmonyOS doesn't care.

He has also discovered that the Venerable Anders behind this seems to genuinely harbor hostility towards the successors who are expected to complete the first stage of the assessment.

Although he didn't know where this hostility came from, it was indeed very real.

This alerted Hongmeng, even though it had something to rely on.

But the other party is, after all, at the Venerable Realm, so it's hard to say whether they have any special methods.

Even if it weren't true, there's no need for me to create such a troublesome enemy.

It seems that from the moment I joined this tradition, I was already being viewed with hostility by the other side.

This is illogical.

I spent half a day thinking about it, even though I was restricted.

HarmonyOS is not in a hurry to make a decision immediately.

If all else fails, time is almost up, I can just pick a few items at random.

Yes, you also have to be careful that the other party doesn't suddenly say it's over when the time is almost up.

Hongmeng did not believe in the majesty and demeanor of any venerable being.

"what?"

While he was wandering aimlessly and aimlessly.

Something caught Hongmeng's attention.

"Components of the Star Guide Ship?"

Or rather, fragments of the Primordial Treasure Ship would be a more appropriate description.

Surprisingly, there's one here too.

Harmony was burning with passion, but he didn't show it at all.

If Venerable Anders sees this, he'll cause trouble again.

He casually looked around and saw ten more puppets.

"Domain Lord-level puppets? They're at the peak of the third realm, and they're all on the same platform. They must be some kind of treasure?"

Hongmeng immediately asked, "These are in the same basket and on the same platform, so they should belong to the same item, right?"
