Zhutian: Start from Devouring the Stars and Becoming a God

Chapter 262 Lu Qingshan's Advantage in Distributing the Loot
Halfway up Thunder Island, a waterfall cascades down like a river, crashing directly into the huge lake below.

In the center of this lake stands a small island several kilometers in diameter, where a dozen or so figures are currently conversing.

"Xuan Yue, I heard that you recently obtained a Molten Gold Crystal in the Purple Snow Secret Realm?" a tall and burly winged human warrior wearing dark gold armor asked with a smile.

"I was just lucky this time!"

After hearing the words of this winged human powerhouse, another stunningly beautiful woman, Venerable Xuan Yue, dressed in a purple gauze robe, quickly said softly, "This time, it's all thanks to the top-tier treasure armor I recently exchanged with Venerable Fire God!"

"If it weren't for the help of this top-tier treasure armor, I would have had a hard time withstanding the combined attack of those two Cosmic Venerables from the Mechanical Race! Even so, I still lost more than 20% of my divine body this time!"

"That's already pretty good!"

A powerful ape-man nearby said enviously, "Even if you contribute a single Molten Gold Crystal to the clan's treasury, it's worth 45 Treasure Points!"

"As for the divine power you lost, Xuan Yue, as long as you don't perish, it won't be long before you recover! If you think it's too slow, you can also rent a primordial treasure!"

There is no "major treasure" level among primordial treasures. In other words, all primordial treasures have at least reached the level of supreme treasures, and are even more precious than supreme treasures of the same level such as domain, palace, and soul treasures. Naturally, they are not something that people like them can possess.

However, as the strongest members of the human race, they are qualified to rent primordial treasures, as long as they do not take the primordial treasures away from the core area of ​​their race.

"That won't do!"

Venerable Xuan Yue quickly said, "Even if you were to rent the most ordinary primordial treasure that could increase the speed of absorbing divine power by a thousand times, the rental fee would be one treasure point per thousand epochs!"

"I lost more than 20% of my divine power this time. Even if I rely on myself to recover slowly, it will probably take hundreds of thousands of epochs. If I were to rent a primordial treasure, wouldn't that be a waste of resources?"

"The price of renting a primordial treasure from the treasury of one's race is indeed very high!"

A burly man surrounded by numerous black flames quickly said, "However, if you rent a Primal Treasure from me, Xuan Yue, I can give you a 20% discount!"

After hearing the burly man's words, everyone around was slightly taken aback.

It wasn't because of the 20% discount, but because a primordial treasure was simply too precious.

"Vulcan!"

The powerful ape-man looked at the burly man in disbelief: "Could it be that you've obtained a primordial treasure?"

"Hahaha!"

The Venerable Fire God immediately smiled and said, "Actually, it took me many years of accumulating wealth to successfully acquire a primordial treasure that can increase the speed of absorbing divine power by a thousand times!"

"If your divine power is ever damaged in the future, you can directly rent a primordial treasure from me. At that time, all your rental fees will be 20% off!"

Upon hearing the Fire God's affirmative reply, everyone around them showed deep envy.

This small circle of them consists mostly of intermediate and advanced cosmic venerables, and most of them have no background (they are disciples of the Lord of the Universe).

Therefore, even the richest among them could only barely accumulate a most ordinary treasure weapon through endless years of accumulation!

However, even the most common of the original treasures requires more than twenty treasure points to exchange in the clan's treasury. Even among the many cosmic overlords of the human race, very few have such wealth.

The Fire God Venerable is merely a high-level cosmic Venerable, yet he possesses a primordial treasure. How incredible is that?

"I knew that weapon-refining masters were quite wealthy, but I never imagined they were this rich!"

A lean man with three eyes quickly looked at the Fire God Venerable and said, "Fire God, why don't you take me as your disciple? I'll learn weapon crafting from you!"

"You don't have that talent!"

The Venerable Fire God quickly said, "Moreover, refining weapons requires patience, which you definitely cannot do!"

"You can't just look at how much money I make and forget how long it took me to get to where I am today!"

"I learned weapon crafting long after I became an immortal, but for hundreds of millions of epochs after becoming a cosmic venerable, I was always losing money and even incurred a huge debt!"

"It wasn't until my weapon-refining skills improved significantly that I started to reap the benefits. Then, after accumulating over two hundred billion epochs, I finally have the wealth I have today!"

The Fire God Venerable doesn't mind that his wealth is known to everyone. Anyway, he never leaves the core area of ​​the human race to take risks. Could anyone possibly rob him, a master weapon refiner of the human race, in the heart of the human race?

Just as everyone was feeling moved by the words of the Fire God Venerable, a streak of light suddenly flew in from afar.

"Radiant Venerable!"

"It's Venerable Radiant Light!"

More than ten cosmic venerables looked up and immediately recognized the newcomer's identity. They then stood up to warmly welcome him.

"Hahaha!"

Venerable Yaoguang greeted everyone present with a smile, and then looked at the burly Venerable Huoshen: "Huoshen, I came here specifically to see you!"

"Find me?"

The burly, powerful Fire God Venerable's heart stirred, as if he had thought of something. He then quickly nodded slightly to the crowd around him and said, "Everyone, I'll be right back!"

After saying this, Venerable Fire God and Venerable Radiant Light left together.

……

A moment later, in the temple halfway up Thunder Island, the figures of Venerable Radiance and Venerable Fire God suddenly appeared.

"Yaoguang, why did you come to see me this time..." Venerable Vulcan quickly asked.

"Hahaha!"

With a thought, Venerable Yaoguang quickly transferred the fourteen treasure points he had just acquired to Venerable Huoshen: "Of course, it's to return the treasure points to you!"

"So that's it!"

Upon receiving the transfer from Venerable Yaoguang, Venerable Vulcan quickly said, "Actually, I'm not in a particularly hurry. Yaoguang, if you need it, you can pay me back later!"

"It doesn't matter!"

Venerable Yaoguang waved his hand and said, "These dozen or so treasure points are of no use to me!"

"Actually, I used all my resources to exchange for a high-grade treasure armor, otherwise I wouldn't be so strapped for cash!"

"So that's it!"

After hearing what Venerable Yaoguang said, Venerable Huoshen nodded slightly, then smiled and said, "Yaoguang, with the protection of this high-grade treasure armor, your ability to protect yourself will be greatly increased!"

"It's just average!"

Venerable Radiant Light quickly said, "Most of the powerful beings in our human race have relatively small divine bodies, which puts them at a disadvantage in battle!"

"Now that I have the protection of a high-grade treasure armor, I will be able to gain some advantage when fighting against experts of the same level in the future!"

At that moment, both of them received an email from Venerable Cangsong.

Venerable Cangsong is a powerful cosmic venerable from the cosmic mercenary alliance. Because he is very popular among the human race, he is very well-informed.

"Could it be that Cangsong's email contains something important again?"

After such a thought flashed through their minds, Venerable Yaoguang and Venerable Huoshen quickly opened the email they received. It naturally contained news that Lu Qingshan had just killed Venerable Black Wolf of the Heavenly Wolf lineage of the demon race in the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm.

"This……"

After reading the contents of the email, Venerable Yaoguang's face quickly showed a hint of surprise: "How long has it been? I didn't expect that Qingshan would be able to do this much!"

The expression on the face of the Venerable Fire God was even more astonished.

"To be able to kill the Black Wolf Venerable of the Demon Race so soon after his breakthrough, this Venerable of Myriad Realms is truly amazing!"

After such a thought flashed through his mind, Venerable Vulcan quickly said, "Yaoguang, you came to me to buy the treasured armor back then because of this Venerable of Myriad Realms, right? I didn't expect that he would have such amazing strength in such a short time!"

“Yes!” Venerable Yaoguang quickly said, “I didn’t expect Junior Brother Qingshan’s strength to improve so rapidly!”

"Vulcan, I'm going to Junior Brother Qingshan's place next. Do you want to come along and join in the fun?"

"Of course I do!"

Upon hearing Venerable Yaoguang's invitation, Venerable Huoshen immediately replied, "Let's go together, let's go together!"

……

Meanwhile, after Lu Qingshan and the others held a small banquet at the residence of Mad Blade Venerable, the three members of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance, including New Maple Venerable, took their leave.

After Venerable Xinfeng and the other two left, only Lu Qingshan, Venerable Kuangdao, and Venerable Tieying remained in the mansion's living room.

"Myriad Realms!"

Mad Blade Venerable looked at Lu Qingshan, raised his cup in invitation, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so strong, even able to easily kill that Black Wolf Venerable!"

"Yes!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable, standing to the side, also raised his cup and said, "I originally thought that Wan Jie's strength was a bit weaker than mine and Mad Blade's, but I didn't expect..."

"Hahaha! If it weren't for you, Myriad Realms, even if we had managed to hold out until Venerable Xinfeng and the other two arrived, we would have probably lost a lot of divine power!"

"Actually, the main reason I was able to kill that Black Wolf Venerable was because of the cooperation between you two, Mad Blade and Iron Eagle!"

Lu Qingshan also raised his cup and drank it all in one gulp, then smiled and said, "If it weren't for the two of you helping to stop the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable, I definitely wouldn't have been able to kill the Black Wolf Venerable!"

Lu Qingshan was telling the whole truth.

Not to mention that the Azure Wolf Venerable possesses the Crimson Fire Tower, a top-tier treasure of the flying palace type, even without the Crimson Fire Tower, the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable would have been able to easily stop him once they had freed their hands.

"Hahaha, that's what we should do!" Mad Blade Venerable quickly said with a laugh.

"All right!"

After another round of drinks, the Iron Eagle Venerable quickly said, "Mad Blade, our harvest this time is quite astonishing. Let's distribute the spoils first!"

"Alright!"

After listening to what Venerable Iron Eagle said, Venerable Mad Blade quickly retrieved all the spoils the three of them had acquired in the Azure Roc Secret Realm.

Their time exploring the Azure Phoenix Secret Realm was not long, only a little over 100,000 years. So, apart from the Purple Cloud Heart Grass and three Void Sands, all their other spoils only amounted to seven levels of treasure points.

Of course, the single Purple Cloud Heart Grass had already brought them a great harvest, not to mention the three even more valuable Void Sands they obtained later.

Because the distribution ratio of the spoils was determined from the beginning, Lu Qingshan and his two companions quickly distributed the spoils.

The three Void Sands are naturally the easiest to distribute; one for each person is sufficient.

At that time, they can either keep it for their own future use or contribute it directly to the higher-ups of the tribe.

The distribution of the Purple Cloud Heart Grass and other spoils is also relatively simple.

At the suggestion of the Mad Saber Venerable, all the spoils of war were allocated to him, and he then transferred them to Lu Qingshan and the Iron Eagle Venerable, respectively, at eighteen levels of treasure points.

In this way, if he directly contributes the spoils of war, such as the Purple Cloud Heart Grass, to the clan's treasury, he will definitely suffer a slight loss.

But if he can find a powerful person who needs the Purple Cloud Heart Grass, he can make a little money.

After the spoils were distributed, Lu Qingshan quickly took out the spoils he had obtained after killing the Black Wolf Venerable.

It must be said that the Black Wolf Venerable's status among the demon race is indeed not very good, and his wealth is much less than that of the Hundred Flower King back then.

Of the treasures he possessed, only two were worth mentioning: a top-tier heavy weapon and an ordinary heavy armor. In addition, there were some other miscellaneous treasures, all of which together were worth one or two heavy treasure points.

"Mad Blade, Iron Eagle!"

After taking out the spoils, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at Mad Saber Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable and said, "Without your help, I would not have been able to kill that Black Wolf Venerable at all. Let's divide these spoils among ourselves!"

"Myriad Realms, what are you doing?"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Mad Blade Venerable quickly said, "You killed that Black Wolf Venerable all by yourself. What do these spoils have to do with the two of us?"

"Yes!"

The Iron Eagle Venerable quickly said, "Myriad Realms, if you hadn't swiftly killed that Black Wolf Venerable this time, the Azure Wolf Venerable and the Dragon Sable Venerable wouldn't have been able to retreat so easily!"

"At that time, we will not only lose a lot of divine power, but we will also owe a favor when Venerable Xinfeng and the others arrive!"

"Now you want to distribute the spoils of war after the fall of the Black Wolf Venerable to us? Isn't that a slap in the face to me and Mad Blade?"

"This……"

After hearing what Mad Saber Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable said, Lu Qingshan had no choice but to collect all the spoils left behind by Black Wolf Venerable after his fall.

After distributing the spoils, Lu Qingshan and his two companions quickly resumed their drinking.

"We've had a very fruitful trip to the Azure Roc Secret Realm!" Venerable Iron Eagle quickly raised his glass again to celebrate.

"Who says it isn't?"

The Mad Blade Venerable, standing to the side, also raised his cup and said, "The gains I made in the Azure Roc Secret Realm over the past 100,000 years are almost comparable to the gains I made over the past billions of epochs!"

"If we can maintain this good luck, it probably won't be long before we'll be able to exchange for a supreme treasure from our clan's treasury!"

"Mad Blade, stop dreaming!"

After hearing what Venerable Mad Blade said, Venerable Iron Eagle quickly added, "Let alone whether we will have the same luck as we did in the Azure Roc Secret Realm, even if we do, it will definitely be accompanied by many dangers!"

"Like this time, if it weren't for Wan Jie and Venerable Xin Feng and the others, even if the two of us could have protected the treasure, we would have suffered heavy losses!"

"Moreover, although we didn't fight for long this time, we still lost some divine power. We'll definitely need to rest for a while until our divine power is fully replenished before continuing our adventure!"

Hearing Iron Eagle Venerable's words, Lu Qingshan felt even more fortunate to have an endless divine sea avatar.

To be honest, compared to the vast Nine Nether Sea of ​​the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds, his endless divine sea avatar is a joke.

It possessed neither any special talents nor secret techniques, its life gene level was extremely ordinary, and its size was also very small.

In reality, even just this one endless divine sea avatar is enough to make countless powerful individuals envious.

Back when he was at the Immortal God realm, the role of the Endless Divine Sea clone wasn't particularly prominent. After all, there were many treasures that could restore the divine power of an Immortal God. Even without the Endless Divine Sea clone, he could still quickly create a fallen clone by consuming more resources.

However, once one reaches the realm of a Cosmic Venerable, the role of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar becomes greatly enhanced.

Just like the Mad Blade Venerable and the Iron Eagle Venerable, they can naturally explore the secret realms of the universe under normal circumstances, but once they burn their divine power to fight, they need a lot of time to replenish their divine power.

For them, not every battle where they burn their divine power yields any results; in fact, they may even perish as a result.

Just like the three Venerable Dragon Sable, Venerable Blue Wolf, and Venerable Black Wolf who fought against them before, not only did they gain nothing, but they also lost a lot of divine power (fell)!

Explore the secret realms of the universe, encounter dangers and fight by burning your divine power, return to your clan's territory to replenish your divine power, and after your divine power is perfected, continue to explore the secret realms of the universe and embark on adventures, and so on...

This cycle repeats itself endlessly, and this is precisely the normal experience of most cosmic beings in the universe.

In fact, the time required to replenish divine power is far longer than the time required to explore the secret realms of the universe.

This is why even cosmic venerables like Mad Blade Venerable and Iron Eagle Venerable, who have cultivated for hundreds of billions of epochs, have not accumulated much wealth.

But Lu Qingshan, who has the endless divine sea avatar, is different!

The existence of the Endless Divine Sea Avatar allows him to roam freely in the secret realms of the universe, to burn his divine power in battle without restraint, and to avoid spending a lot of time replenishing his divine power...
