Devouring Stars: Master of Evolution

Chapter 135 The Pharmacist's Legacy (2)

"Void Serpents, these extremely rare flesh-and-blood spatial monsters, are perfect for me right now."

In the Primal Core World, Qin Mu felt exhilarated as he watched the Void Python being sent into the Mother Nest to begin analysis.

Compared to energy-based lifeforms like the Demon Slayers, the Void Serpents are more suitable for the Zerg Swarm. While the Zerg Swarm's analytical capabilities are powerful, they are primarily effective against flesh-and-blood lifeforms, and are quite ineffective against energy-based, mechanical, and rock-based lifeforms.

If Qin Mu also obtains an energy life form like the Demon Slayer Clan, then he can only rely on the Golden Horned Beast's innate ability to create clones to nurture it.

Compared to the analysis capabilities of the insect swarm, the Golden Horned Beast's clones were far too slow to develop. It took Luo Feng three years and nine months to develop his Demon Slayer Clan clone.

Of course, this is already incredibly powerful, considering the Golden Horned Beast's three main talents: Devour, Clone, and Enhancement.

In Qin Mu's view, the most abnormal thing is the "clone". This talent ability has infinite possibilities. It can give birth to any kind of life with just a little bit of body tissue.

Metal life, energy life, soul life, plant life, and so on can all be conceived.

Even Qin Mu's swarm of insects couldn't do that.

The only problem is that when the Golden Horned Beast is gestating its clone, the stronger and nobler the original owner of the body tissues, the more astonishing the time it takes to gestate. Furthermore, if the life level is too much higher than that of the Golden Horned Beast, it may be impossible to gestate.

However, this is only a minor issue, as there are very few life forms with a higher level of existence than the Golden Horned Beast.

The Golden Horned Beast's other two talents are equally powerful: the 'Devour' talent allows it to grow faster, and the 'Enhancement' talent provides a burst of power for combat.

Qin Mu spent a lot of effort studying the Golden Horned Beast, with a focus on its three major innate abilities.

If one day we can thoroughly study these three talents, especially the ability to create clones, it is entirely possible that special Zerg races such as the Energy Zerg, the Mechanical Zerg, and the Rock Zerg could emerge in the Zerg swarm.

But this will probably take a long time. Qin Mu's current research focus is still on flesh and blood life and the comprehension of laws.

Therefore, for the current Zerg swarm, flesh-and-blood creatures like the Void Serpent are more suitable.

With the materials provided by his teacher and the inheritance of the insect swarm, Qin Mu had a thorough understanding of the talents of many monsters in the universe.

The Void Serpent's talent is "Spatial Traversal," a very powerful talent that is more suitable for the Zerg than the Demon Slayer's talent, which is cloning.

After analyzing the Void Serpent, the swarm can obtain the Void Serpent's life structure diagram, hatch it in large quantities, and use it to comprehend the laws of space, as well as for research, combat, and so on.

"This Void Serpent's bloodline is even stronger than that of a Starry Sky Beast like the Blazing Flame Beast, and its strength is at the cosmic level. It will probably take about half a month to complete the analysis."

Based on the progress feedback from the mother nest, Qin Mu roughly estimated the time.

After his consciousness withdrew from the original core world, Qin Mu calmed the turmoil in his mind.

"This time, during my apprenticeship, not only did my master bestow many treasures upon me, but even my senior brother, whom I had never met, gifted me a Void Python."

Brother Ronnie also gave me ten eighth-tier cosmic-level slaves and a lot of cultivation resources. I must repay Master and Brother Ronnie's kindness when I have the chance in the future.

"The matter of replacing the inhabited planet and becoming the galactic lord also needs to be handled properly."

Qin Mu's eyes shone with light, for only by bringing the Milky Way under his control could the insect swarm have greater room for development.

"Afterwards, I will need to make a trip to Earth to retrieve that mechanical race spaceship."

Qin Mu hadn't forgotten the mechanical race's spaceship on Earth. That mechanical race spaceship was a peak E-class spaceship, and after losing its master's control, it could be completely subdued by his own cosmic-level slaves.

This mechanical race spaceship is a huge treasure trove, not only of the spaceship itself, but also of the technology in its internal database!

In terms of technology, humans are far behind the machine races. To become one of the six top races, the machine races have their own advantages over humans.

Qin Mu was considering whether to use the Golden Horned Beast's innate ability to first cultivate a mechanical race clone, so that he could handle mechanical-related problems with ease and make better use of this mechanical race spaceship.

The data inside the mechanical race's spaceship will also greatly help China grow into a spacefaring nation, enriching its foundation.

According to the information obtained from the Meteorite Star's heritage, their technological prowess is not particularly strong; at most, they can only manufacture C-class spaceships.

If we could acquire the technology of the Machine race, that would be far more powerful.

"If you plan this out properly, these things have great potential."

"Forget about that for now. Let's go back to Earth and talk about it then. For now, I should focus on my cultivation."

……

The next morning, Qin Mu came out of his cultivation and first went to pay his respects to his teacher. After learning that his teacher was still meeting with friends, he did not disturb him.

During the apprenticeship banquet, Qin Mu gained contact with many powerful forces, including the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire.

After contacting the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire through the virtual universe and explaining his purpose, the two agreed to meet at a certain place.

After the apprenticeship banquet ended, many powerful figures did not leave immediately, but took the opportunity to discuss matters. In fact, this was one of the reasons why many forces that had not been invited came.

Before meeting the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Empire, Qin Mu checked his information. The information showed that the Third Prince was named Elia, a shrewd person and a domain lord powerhouse, who was highly valued by the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor.

If I hadn't become Master Yu Chen's disciple, I probably wouldn't even be able to meet a powerful person with such a background, let alone discuss anything with him.

When Qin Mu arrived at the agreed location, he found that the Third Prince, Elijah, was already waiting for him.

Qin Mu quickly went up to him, exchanged a few pleasantries with the Third Prince 'Aria', and then explained his purpose.

"Your Highness Elia, I hope you can help coordinate things on the inhabited planet."

Qin Mu got straight to the point.

"These are some inhabited planets and various real estates that I currently possess. I have roughly estimated their value to be over 3200 billion cosmic coins. I hope to exchange these things for the Milky Way under the control of the Silver Blue Empire!"

My hometown is in the Milky Way galaxy, so…”

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince, Elijah, immediately smiled. As the Third Prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire and a Domain Lord level expert, this was a trivial matter for him.

The Silver Blue Empire is just one of the more than 500 vassal states of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, which are at the initial stage of cosmic civilization. The strongest among them are only at the cosmic level.

Especially since they had previously promised to help with the exchange, he only needed to give the order.

"Master Qin Mu, you're too kind. Just let me know, and I'll arrange for someone to take care of it for you right away!"

The Third Prince, Elia, smiled and said that as the disciple of the immortal powerhouse Yu Chen, Qin Mu was naturally willing to give him this much face.

It should be noted that Yu Chen is not an ordinary immortal; he is also a pharmacist who can create all sorts of miraculous potions. Even the emperor of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire wanted to curry favor with him.

He had always wanted to get in touch with Yu Chen and his two disciples, but he hadn't had the chance. Now that the opportunity had come, how could he let it go?

The competition among the princes within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire is extremely fierce, whether in terms of strength or connections!

With the matter settled, Qin Mu felt a little relieved. After chatting with the Third Prince, Elijah, for a while, the auxiliary computer on his arm trembled slightly.

"Your Highness Elia, it's my teacher who wants to see me."

Upon seeing this, Qin Mu's face showed an apologetic expression.

Elijah quickly replied.

"Lord Yu Chen must have something important to discuss with you. Let's make an appointment another time."

Qin Mu didn't delay. After apologizing, he boarded the flying shuttle and flew towards where his teacher was.

Watching Qin Mu's departing figure, Elia's face showed a hint of envy.

Although he was the third prince of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, he could not meet the immortals at any time like Qin Mu.

The Black Dragon Mountain Emperor had too many offspring!

……

"Teacher, you wanted to see me."

In a study within a palace, Qin Mu respectfully called out.

"Yes, I'm here. How was it seeing so many powerful people these past few days?"

Yu Chen sat in the study with a smile on his face.

"It was very shocking, and it also made me realize my own weakness."

Qin Mu spoke the truth.

"Very good. You have such an understanding. If you feel your own weakness, then you should cultivate diligently."

Yu Chen smiled. He was actually a little worried that Qin Mu, who came from a humble background, would become arrogant after suddenly acquiring a huge amount of wealth and status.

In hindsight, he was clearly overthinking things.

"How's your reading of the books and materials I showed you going?"

Yu Chen changed the subject and asked.

"We've already reached the seventh shelf of books."

Qin Mu answered respectfully.

Upon hearing Qin Mu's answer, Yu Chen's heart stirred. When he decided to take Qin Mu as his disciple, he had already noticed the shortcomings of Qin Mu's self-study. He specially prepared a series of materials for him, and he could only move on to the next level after passing an assessment.

The bookshelf only has nine shelves in total. Yu Chen originally thought that Qin Mu would be lucky to see four or five shelves in a month, but he didn't expect that he had already seen the seventh shelf.

"Great! Once you've read through all this material, you should be able to catch up on your basics."

Yu Chen nodded, offering no further praise.

"These are just the basics, not the true lineage of apothecaries. You want to specialize in bloodline in the field of apothecaries, right?"

Yu Chen knew Qin Mu's thoughts, and Qin Mu did not hide them from him.

"Yes, Master."

The field of alchemy is all-encompassing, encompassing the entire universe, and every alchemist will choose a path that suits them.

"Bloodline research is the most difficult type of research for pharmacists. All human pharmacists in the entire universe are stuck at the level of Domain Lord bloodline, did you know that?"

Yu Chen's tone was somewhat heavy. He was also skilled in bloodline research, and he too was stuck at this point. Choosing this path, compared to other paths, meant that the potential was very low!

"Know!"

Qin Mu nodded without the slightest hesitation.

"Very well, I have given each of my two previous disciples a corresponding inheritance based on their research. Since you have chosen the path of bloodline, I will pass on to you the secret technique 'Bloodline Evolution' that I have summarized from my research on the path of bloodline."

"Bloodline Evolution is a secret technique I created after studying many powerful races in the universe and combining them with human bloodlines."

"Bloodline Evolution" has five layers

The first level corresponds to the planetary level.

The second level corresponds to the star level.

The third level corresponds to the cosmic level.

The fourth level corresponds to the domain master level.

The fifth level corresponds to the Realm Lord level, but it's just a concept, a summary of my research, and not yet a complete system. I hope you can complete it later.

Yu Chen took out a metal book with blood-red patterns, and looked at Qin Mu with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Yes, Master. Thank you, Master."

Qin Mu knelt respectfully and accepted the books handed to him by Yu Chen with both hands.

"Besides 'Bloodline Evolution,' I will open up many secret techniques that I have collected to you. You can choose two of them for combat and flight."

"If you have any questions about your practice or research, you can ask your senior brother, or ask me directly."

"I've given you everything I could. Now it's up to you."

I'm asking for your support with monthly votes at the beginning of the month. I hope you can give me at least one monthly vote. Thank you!
