Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 133 The Banquet

Outside the meditation room, Lillian Swan, a beautiful woman with wings on her back, gently knocked on the door.

"Master, your apprenticeship banquet is about to begin. Lord Ronnie Ashley has sent over the formal attire. Would you like to make the necessary preparations?"

Qin Mu, who was immersed in cultivation, was awakened by a knock on the door. He checked the time and found that several days had already passed.

"Does time really fly by?"

Qin Mu put away the golden wheel in front of him and stood up.

These past few days, he has focused most of his energy on controlling and using the Golden Wheel. The Golden Wheel is indeed very difficult to operate, and he is even struggling to control it at the first level.

"This Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel truly lives up to its name, as its changes encompass all things and have countless possibilities."

The Golden Wheel alone is comparable to the Divine Weapon of the Nine Controllers, and the ten sub-wheels can also cooperate with each other through the mother wheel.

Even with the help of a swarm of insects, perfect control is extremely difficult.

After a rough trial, he discovered that the single sub-wheel of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel was very similar to the nine divine weapons of the controllers. Not only did they both have nine realms and were difficult to operate, but they were also very similar when disassembled.

For example, this Golden Wheel, like the Divine Weapon of the Divine Weapon Master, can also be broken down into 10081 small golden swords.

The ninth level is also something that even immortals can rival.

The difference is that if it's a single sub-wheel, it's about maximizing a certain attribute.

The Divine Weapon combines the laws of metal and space.

Achieving a similar effect to the Divine Weapon is also simple for the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel. As long as Qin Mu comprehends the Law of Metal and the Law of Space to a certain extent, he can combine the two with the mother wheel of the Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel to achieve the effect of the Divine Weapon.

The Myriad Manifestations Heavenly Wheel can do everything that the Nine Great Controllers' divine weapons can do.

"The apprenticeship ceremony is about to begin, so let's stop our cultivation for now."

Qin Mu opened the door to the training room and went out, following Lillian Swan to tidy himself up.

Normally, Qin Mu focuses on cultivation and research, and he wears the armor formed by the Moyun Vine every day, never bothering to dress up.

After Lillian Swan helped him tidy up today, and he put on a gorgeous black dress, Qin Mu's spirits seemed to have improved significantly.

It has to be said that clothes make the man; once he put on a formal suit, he looked like a completely different person.

"Let's go find our senior brother."

Qin Mu gave Lillian Swan an address and asked her to lead the way. This was the place where Senior Brother Ronnie and Qin Mu had arranged to meet in the virtual universe.

"Yes, Master."

Lillian Swann said respectfully.

After flying for some time in a shuttle-shaped vehicle, Qin Mu met his busy senior brother Ronnie.

"You've finally come up with something."

Upon meeting, Senior Brother Ronnie immediately began to complain.

These past few days, he has been extremely busy, with so many important figures requiring his reception, leaving him with almost no free time.

"Didn't the teacher say we were just inviting a few friends? Why is it such a big event?"

Along the way, Qin Mu saw that the entire city of pharmacists was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, with shuttles arriving from time to time, and people coming and going, with the flow of people being several times greater than in the previous few days.

"Grand? This is nothing. The teacher doesn't like to make a big fuss, so he only invited some friends over. There aren't many people, just a few dozen immortals."

However, these immortal powerhouses usually bring their disciples and followers with them, which makes the number of people larger.

And some others came on their own after hearing the news.

Seeing Qin Mu's surprised expression, Senior Brother Ronnie chuckled and said...

"Dozens of immortals?!"

Qin Mu was astonished. This was what they called simply inviting a few friends?

What if we held a huge, extravagant celebration?!

"Don't look like you've never seen the world before. Your teacher is an immortal powerhouse who has lived for countless years, and also a rare alchemist among immortal powerhouses. It's perfectly normal for him to have so many friends."

If you stay here long enough, you'll understand. Every so often, powerful immortals will come to the teacher to prepare potions.

This was only given a month's notice; many immortal powerhouses couldn't make it in time, otherwise the number would be more than ten times the current one!

Ronnie Ashley patted Qin Mu on the shoulder, looking like a seasoned veteran.

"I see."

Qin Mu nodded, roughly understanding, but he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"Haha, don't be nervous. You won't have to do anything. Everyone coming will be a friend of the teacher, and they won't be critical of you."

All you need to do is collect the gifts and get to know those immortal powerhouses and their disciples.

Once you get to know these people, your network will be much wider, which will help you accomplish whatever you need to do in the future.

This will be of great help to you in developing your own power base in the future. I went through the same thing.

Ronnie Ashley said with a smile.

"Pharmacists are different from ordinary martial artists and spiritual practitioners. They only need to cultivate diligently or undergo life-and-death trials."

As pharmacists, we need to produce a huge amount of medicine, which is very expensive, and teachers won't always provide you with resources.

Therefore, it is generally necessary to sell potions, and many powerful beings in the universe also have a great need for potions.

Connections and reputation are very important for a pharmacist.

This apprenticeship ceremony is the beginning of your network of connections!

"Okay, I'll listen to my senior brother."

Qin Mu smiled too. If Teacher Yu Chen hadn't specifically assigned him anything, it meant that he really didn't have anything to do.

As for building connections?

To be honest, he didn't really care. It would be important if he were just a pharmacist.

But in a few years it will be the Battle of Geniuses. Once you enter the core of the Virtual Universe Company, you won't need to worry about making connections at all.

Since that's the case, then he has nothing to worry about.

Night falls in a large palace at the Pharmacist Headquarters.

Tonight, Qin Mu's apprenticeship banquet will be held here, and the place is already bustling with activity.

The entire palace was arranged and prepared, awaiting the arrival of powerful figures.

As the banquet began, one powerful figure after another entered.

Inside the palace, Teacher Yu Chen was chatting with some of the immortal powerhouses who had already arrived.

Those who can enter this palace are almost all immortal powerhouses, or their relatives and disciples. It can be said that the status is extremely high, and very few people in the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire are qualified to enter.

This was the first time Qin Mu had ever seen so many powerful figures gathered together; any one of them could be a Domain Lord or even a World Lord.

"Haha, Domain Dust, Furnace Marquis, it's been thousands of years since we last met!"

A burly man with horns on his head, a long tail, and exuding a powerful aura walked in from outside the palace, laughing heartily.

"Lord Ziling, welcome, welcome."

"Lord Ziling, I didn't expect you to have time to come. I thought you had gone to the battlefield outside the realm."

Yu Chen and Furnace Marquis greeted them with smiles.

"Haha, just got back from the extraterritorial battlefield! You two are here this time, so I'll get some good stuff from you before I go back for revenge. I suffered quite a loss this time, and almost didn't make it back."

The burly man with scales laughed heartily, but the information revealed in his words horrified those around him. They wondered what kind of enemy had nearly killed a Marquis-level Immortal.

Qin Mu, who was following beside his teacher, was also secretly surprised. This powerful figure known as the Purple Diamond Marquis had actually returned from the battlefield outside the domain.

"Sure, what kind of potion do you want? I'll figure something out!"

Yu Chen laughed.

"This is your new apprentice, right? He's a bit weak, but it's alright as a pharmacist."

When Zi Linghou saw Qin Mu following behind Yu Chen, he sized him up and nodded in approval when he saw that Qin Mu was not afraid of his aura at all.

"Here, have a little something as a gift."

Zi Linghou tossed a spatial ring at Qin Mu.

"Thank you, Marquis Ziling."

Qin Mu caught the spatial ring and carefully put it away.

When Qin Mu received the spatial ring, he briefly scanned it with his consciousness. It was a spatial ring that was 500 meters long, wide, and high, and it was filled with all kinds of fruits, medicinal herbs, and so on.

"The Lanco Fruit!"

Qin Mu was shocked; there were hundreds of Lan Ke fruits inside!

Lanco Fruit is the best item for cultivating spirit beasts and plant life. Even if you are seriously injured, taking Lanco Fruit will have a healing effect.

These hundreds of Lanco Fruits alone are worth hundreds of billions of cosmic coins!

However, Zi Linghou gave it to her so easily.

After giving away the spatial ring, Marquis Ziling ignored Qin Mu and chatted with Yu Chen for a while before entering the palace.

The arrival of Zi Linghou was just the beginning. One after another, immortal powerhouses who had a good relationship with Teacher Yu Chen descended. These immortal powerhouses, like Zi Linghou, casually tossed over a spatial ring.

This caused Qin Mu's net worth to skyrocket.

Most of these spatial rings contain raw materials used by pharmacists for research, such as monster flesh and blood.

For an immortal powerhouse, even plucking a single hair is a terrifying fortune.

Of course, some forces within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire also donated other things, such as life-bearing planets, manors, and spaceships.

The emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire sent a prince to present a thousand life-bearing planets.

For example, the Hundred Tigers Tower, one of the four major organizations in the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, directly donated a batch of warships!

That's absolutely outrageous.

That night, Qin Muguang was so busy receiving gifts that he became numb to it all.

Back on Earth, he never imagined that the reason his net worth would skyrocket after entering the universe would be due to gifts from others after he became their disciple.

After the banquet ended, Qin Mu did a quick calculation and discovered that he had actually gained more than 10,000 life-bearing planets under his name.

This was Qin Mu's first official appearance in the universe. Although his reputation was not yet widespread, the entire Black Dragon Mountain Empire, and even the major forces in several surrounding medium-sized universe kingdoms, all knew that the immortal powerhouse, Domain Dust Alchemist, had taken on a disciple.

A pharmacist named Qin Mu, a ninth-level star-ranked alchemist.

It's the beginning of the month, please vote for me!
