Swallowing the Stars: Six Eyes

Chapter 50 The Star-Eating Grass Recognizes Its Master!

"The next item up for auction is the fruit of life."

"The Fruit of Life, hailed as the second life of a Realm Lord, has a starting price of 5000 billion Cosmic Coins, and there are 132 in total!"

A commotion immediately broke out below, and soon people were bidding one after another.

"Master, although the Fruit of Life is a healing treasure at the World Lord level, it is also suitable for cultivating plant life. It is perfect for the initial cultivation of Star-Eating Grass. You can buy some."

"The Star-Eating Grass is far more resilient than plants like the Cloud Vine. In its initial cultivation, it can fully digest the energy of the Life Fruit, thus achieving the best cultivation plan."

Since they were in a virtual universe, Rimuru transformed into a blue slime and was held in Gu Ce's arms as he spoke.

"Hmm!" Gu Ce nodded, kneading Rimuru's cheeks as he made his offer.

Rimuru looked very happy.

(*￣︿￣)

In the end, Gu Ce spent more than twenty Chaos Units (more than twenty trillion Cosmic Coins) to buy ten Life Fruits.

……

"The next item up for auction is Locke's Divine Water!"

Even without Rimuru's reminder, Gu Ce knew what this thing was.

In the original story, Luo Feng obtained Locke Divine Water, worth 6.3 billion Chaos Units, from a Realm Lord, which left a deep impression on him.

This item, as the last item before the grand finale, has an effect far exceeding that of the Fruit of Life. It has a powerful effect on many immortal-level plant life forms, and unsurprisingly, it also attracted a lot of bidding from immortals.

Gu Ce did not compete with them. The Star-Eating Grass did not need such a thing for the time being. If there was an opportunity in the future, he could go to the 'Six Billion' World Lord to get the Locke Divine Water.

……

"Next, the auction for the grand finale item will begin!" the host announced excitedly.

Gu Ce waited, utterly bored.

This auction lasted a total of ten days.

In addition to buying the Fruit of Life, Gu Ce also bought a lot of gadgets, such as the Lan Ke Fruit, which help plants grow.

As the pinnacle of plant life, Star-Eating Grass can reach the level of a Realm Lord as long as it is provided with enough nutrients. However, what Gu Ce wants to pursue is the best cultivation plan, which will allow him to reach the peak of Kingship once he breaks through to Immortality.

"Now for the first and final item: a Star Stone Fruit!"

As the host finished speaking, a round, dark blue fruit appeared on the screen next to him, its shape somewhat resembling a fruit called mangosteen on Earth.

"What is this?" Gu Ce asked Rimuru.

"Star Stone Fruit is an extremely rare fruit that can only be produced in the Star Stone Secret Realm. Don't let its unremarkable appearance fool you; it is actually ten kilometers in diameter and is a treasure for cultivating the fundamental laws of soil and space. It can also help immortal powerhouses quickly restore their divine bodies," Rimuru explained.

"Oh, that's useless." Gu Ce immediately lost interest.

"That's not quite right. This fruit is also the seed of the Star Stone Tree, which can be planted in the Immortal God Kingdom. It has the effect of stabilizing the God Kingdom's space, similar to the effect of the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, but not as strong," Rimuru said.

"This stuff is also very helpful for cultivating Star-Eating Grass. When Star-Eating Grass advances to the Realm Lord level, it can consume Star Stone Fruit, supplemented with some other treasures, to achieve the best cultivation plan for Star-Eating Grass!"

"Is that so?" Gu Ce's eyes lit up.

There weren't many experts in the auction hall who cultivated the laws of earth and space, but this fruit still fetched a high price of tens of thousands of Chaos Units.

Gu Ce paid 18220 Mixed Yuan Units to buy the Star Stone Fruit.

……

The auction was drawing to a close.

None of these final auction items were of any help to Gu Ce in his current situation, nor were they anything that Gu Ce was interested in.

"Let's go."

Gu Ce led Rimuru away first.

The remaining items were only useful to those at the Immortal level, so Gu Ce didn't really need to keep them.

Back in reality, the items purchased at the auction will be delivered together after the auction ends.

Gu Ce has now reached the ninth level of the Constant Star level thanks to the nutrient capsule. Next, he will stop cultivating the Force and focus on improving his understanding of the laws.

……

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

On Huangyang Star.

When Gunter saw Gu Ce again, he was happy, thinking that Gu Ce had come to pick him up. However, he found that Gu Ce had come to receive goods again, which made him feel a little resentful.

Gu Ce ignored him and instead handed over the goods to the staff of the Virtual Universe Company.

"Guest's identity confirmed, transaction can proceed."

With an electronic voice prompting, a staff member handed Gu Ce a spatial ring.

This is because the Star Stone Fruit is too large, so it needs to be stored in a spatial ring, which is considered a free gift.

Gu Ce waved his hand and took the items away.

After a brief handshake with the staff, Gu Ce boarded the spaceship and returned to Earth!

"Next, we can let the Star-Eating Grass recognize its master!" Gu Ce said with a smile.

Gu Ce had been waiting for this day for a long time. He took out the box containing the Star-Eating Grass larvae.

Following Rimuru's method, he cut his wrists and bled them out.

The all-white star-eating grass wrapped around Gu Ce's wrist, greedily sucking his blood, as if it wanted to drain him dry.

"Now's the time to feed it the Fruit of Life," Rimuru instructed from the side.

Gu Ce nodded and took out a Fruit of Life.

Instantly, a rich and intoxicating aroma filled the air, and the entire spaceship was filled with vibrant life. The core source of all this life was that green fruit—the Fruit of Life!

The Star-Eating Grass sensed the fragrance emanating from the Fruit of Life and quickly swayed its leaves, conveying a message to Gu Ce.

"Eat~ Eat~"

"Don't rush," Gu Ce said with a smile.

When it comes to devouring, the Star-Eating Grass is in no way inferior to the Golden Horned Beast!

He fed the Life Fruit to the Star-Eating Grass, which swallowed it whole. Then, its white body wrapped around Gu Ce's arm and fell into a deep sleep.

"The Star-Eating Grass is being cultivated for the first time using the Fruit of Life. It needs some time to digest, and it should wake up in about 3 to 7 days. At that time, it should be able to directly reach the Eternal Star level," Rimuru commented.

"After that, you can use treasures such as the Lan Ke Fruit on it, along with the Life Fruit. When it reaches the peak of the Domain Lord level, feed it the Star Stone Fruit to help it reach its best state and advance to the Realm Lord level."

Gu Ce nodded slightly. Cultivating Star-Eating Grass is very simple; you just have to eat it.

……

On Earth.

On Kirishima Island, three silver-clad guards stand watch over a giant egg.

"Click~~"

A tiny crack appeared on the eggshell and gradually spread throughout the entire giant egg.

"Click!"

The eggshell cracked!

A monster covered in black scales, resembling a lion in size, and with a pair of small wings on its back, crawled out of the pile of eggshells.

The monster had a black horn growing from its head, with golden patterns wrapped around it. These complex golden patterns spread from the horn to its entire body, as if it were wearing a layer of gold and black armor.

What's most chilling is its pair of dark gold eyes!

A pair of huge, dark golden eyes, like the eyes of a god, looking down upon all things in the world!

A fierce glint lurked in his eyes.

The Golden Horned Beast, Luo Feng.

Born!
