Lu Yu entered the treasure vault and appeared in the first area.
But just entering the first zone—
A flash of text appeared before Lu Yu, startling him.
“The magic talisman requires energy. Please provide ten thousand ninth-level star spirit stones!”
When Lu Yu first saw this passage, he was startled.
He had long neglected the ability of magical talismans, and because their effects were now very weak, he had almost forgotten about them.
If it weren’t for the text in front of him serving as a reminder, he would have truly forgotten about this ability.
“I actually forgot about yours,” Lu Yu said, suddenly recalling that the demonic rune ability gained after refining his body had not been used for a long time.
This time, just opening his mouth demanded ten thousand grade-nine star spirit stones, a single bite consuming the value of billions of grade-one star spirit stones.
Fortunately, Lu Yu had some reserves.
The number of Grade Nine Stellar Spirit Stones in the storage space instantly decreased by ten thousand.
Anyway, he has the mine and the魔猿, so he definitely won’t run out of星灵石.
Tens of thousands of star spirit stones were devoured, and the magic talisman showed some growth, slight but already visible.
Lu Yu’s daily increase in maximum life has been raised to one billion per day.
It was originally only 1.8 billion, and this time the increase is nearly five times the previous amount.
The energy of the talisman is still too weak; it only amounts to 30 billion in a month, and the upper limit increases by only three statues in a year.
However, at this rate, the effect of the next improvement will be very noticeable.
However, Lu Yu wasn’t in a hurry at all.
It only took this amount of time to increase the daily life limit to hundreds of billions.
Let the talisman continue to grow, and one day it will reach an astonishing level.
Lu Yu casually picked up several star weapons in front of the sword burial site in the first area and discovered that the attributes of some star weapons here had indeed improved.
Although the enhancement of the Star Soldiers wasn’t significant, it proved that the Treasure Vault Pearl could indeed improve their attributes.
By chance, Lu Yu discovered that a star weapon in the first area had a faint shadow of a third skill emerging.
Lu Yu gazed at the star-forged weapon. After a brief moment of shock, his expression could no longer remain calm.
He had seen this Star Weapon before, and because one of its skills was related to poison, he had paid special attention to it.
However, this Star Weapon back then had complete dual attributes. Now, the third skill is displayed only by name, with no further details or text shown.
This was enough to surprise Lu Yu.
“Could it be that the treasure vault not only enhances the attributes of items here, but actually evolves them?”
Lu Yu was startled by his own thoughts when he considered such a scenario.
When this idea appeared in his mind, sweat broke out on his forehead.
If it were truly just evolution rather than advancement, much of what exists here would change.
Lu Yu quickly passed through the first area and reached the second area.
He picked up several more Star Weapons, and their attributes were also enhanced here. After collecting over a hundred Star Weapons, he discovered that dozens of them had evolved with indistinct third attributes.
If the single sword in the first area was an illusion, then the dozens of swords in the second area couldn’t possibly be merely an illusion as well.
Lu Yu felt that his guess was correct.
He put down the Star Soldier and continued forward, hoping to enter the third zone.
Last time I came in, I couldn’t even reach the third area due to limitations in my strength.
Now, all three attributes of his current strength have surpassed the level of a hundred zuns.
If I enter again, I shouldn’t be restricted anymore.
Lu Yu crossed the misty barrier effortlessly, this time without encountering any obstacles.
The area remains the supreme zone.
As soon as he stepped into this area, he seemed to be overwhelmed by a dazzling, colorful light that flowed like water.
This area is very large, but most of it is open and empty.
Only beneath the central region of the land were star soldiers densely planted.
All the light in this area comes from the star soldiers.
Two towering Starcraft mines, each nearly seven thousand meters high, stand prominently in the center.
The star-spirit ore pieces shimmered with brilliant starlight, and not a single one of them was below the eighth grade.
Amidst countless Grade-9 Star Spirit Ore stones lay clusters of Starlight Essence.
Lu Yu carefully observed the number of Xinghua.
The density of Xing Hua has long exceeded ten percent of the total ore content, at the very least twenty percent.
Lu Yu took a deep breath and said, “My guess was right. The Star Spirit stones are all evolving. The level-nine Star Spirit stones are evolving into Star Blossoms.”
In mines exceeding one kilometer in depth, a ten percent concentration of Xinghua Astrocrystals is already considered high yield.
Some mines do not even reach a proportion of ten percent.
Ling Wang also mentioned that the larger the mine, the higher the proportion of Starlight it produces.
However, the production yield of a mine ten thousand meters high is at most between fifteen to seventeen percent.
Twenty percent, a proportion higher than the height of a mine that stretches ten thousand meters.
Lu Yu became even more convinced of his suspicion.
It’s not just a simple level-up; the ability of the Treasure Vault Pearl is evolution.
Lu Yu glanced at the surrounding star soldiers again.
The number of star soldiers here has actually reached one hundred thousand once again.
The star soldiers scattered around were of such high rank and quality that they were terrifying.
Lu Yu casually picked up one of them. The Star Soldier in his hand had a base attribute value of fifty and possessed three different attributes.
As for the skills, they remain dual skills.
Star soldiers with higher quality and superior attributes.
Just these star soldiers could form a massive legion.
Lu Yu picked up a few more Star Soldiers.
A third attribute also emerged, equally blurred.
These star soldiers had been placed in this treasure house for who knows how many tens of thousands of years, continuously evolving, until today when they finally developed a third attribute.
“There are two possibilities,” Lu Yu said, putting the star soldier back on the ground, pacing forward with heavy steps, and murmured, “The first possibility is that all star soldiers inherently possess two attributes right from the beginning. In other words, the original owner of these pearls collected so many powerful weapons and placed them here for evolution. But even for a King Monarch, collecting hundreds of thousands of star soldiers would surely be a daunting task.”
Lu Yu headed towards the next area. He had already become certain that his hypothesis might actually be true.
“The second possibility is that the owner of the bead not only possesses immense power but is also a master of the art of forging weapons. He used the simplest method to create a large number of weapons without special abilities, categorizing and placing them here, with all attributes generated within the bead itself.”
Lu Yu murmured to himself, feeling that this possibility seemed more likely.
The original owner of the beads, Lu Yu, cultivated a large number of ordinary weapons and supreme weapons, and then placed them here.
Lu Yu also possessed the art of forging weapons, and he understood that if he pursued quantity over quality, the results would not meet expectations.
Then overnight, he could forge more than ten thousand weapons.
If he were to pursue attributes, he could refine a thousand top-grade star weapons with triple attributes in a single night.
Lu Yu felt that this was the only way to make sense of it.
“If that’s the case, the original owner must have been capable of more than just crafting these ordinary star weapons.”
Lu Yu casually picked up a Zhi Zun Star Weapon and held it in his hand, using the ability of the weapon forging technique to analyze and sense it.
This star weapon has undergone 1,200 refinements, an extraordinary number of times.
Lu Yu needed three days and three nights to refine an ordinary, non-elemental star weapon, requiring a total of 1,200 refining cycles.
He was simultaneously refining no more than a hundred blades.
Moreover, if one had the time to forge such a large number of star weapons, they could certainly create a single, immensely powerful star weapon refined tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of times.
Therefore, Lu Yu was certain that the star soldier in front of him was not only improving in attributes, but also evolving new skills.
The initial refinement of this star weapon could never have exceeded two hundred refinements. This means that within the treasure repository pearl, the star weapon underwent a thousand additional refinements on its own.
The more Lu Yu pondered, the more he came to understand about the Treasure Vault Pearl.
Lu Yu was extremely excited and hurriedly walked to the misty area leading to the next region.
He passed through it effortlessly.
Still in the Zunzhi area.
However, the required attributes were mentioned as one hundred.
Lu Yu guessed that the next area should be Qianzun.
This area is the same size as the previous one.
However, entering here gave him quite a start.
Ten ten-thousand-meter Star Spirit Mines stand tall on the earth, their upper reaches shimmering like a sea of stars, entwined around the mountains as if flowing down their slopes.
Xinghua’s proportion has reached as high as thirty percent.
“Without Wang Zun, who else would have the power to move so many Star Spirit Mines inside?”
Lu Yu walked to the foot of the mountain and felt it necessary to move two of them out.
After all, he’s just short of money now.
The weight of the ten-thousand-meter mine is nearly two hundred tons.
If it weren’t for Lu Yu possessing the King’s Sacred Bone, he really wouldn’t have been able to move it.
Lu Yu moved three mines into his storage space.
Then search in this area.
At the farthest edge of this area, Lu Yu discovered several small hills as if he had found a treasure.
Here stand five small mountains side by side.
The mountain is not high, but the stones on its slopes emit a glow that is nearly sapphire in hue.
“This is indeed the Blue Star Mine.”
Lu Yu excitedly circled around the five mines and said joyfully, “It’s like getting exactly what I wished for!”
What Lu Yu lacks now is the Soul of Blue Planet.
Even more lacking in evolution fluid.
There is no shortcut to the evolution liquid; for now, it can only be condensed drop by drop.
Moreover, the quantity of the Blue Planet’s soul is also very limited.
Lu Yu had only seen one mine in the Tumo Domain.
Lu Yu thought of that mine, suddenly his expression changed. He stared intently at the five mines before him, shocked, and said, “No, the glow isn’t right. This mountain, this mountain has also evolved.”
Lu Yu circled the mine once again, confirming that this mountain was different from ordinary mines on Earth.
The ores in the Blue Star Mine are enormous, and only the core of a massive piece can be considered the Soul of the Blue Star.
But the mine before him was a bit different. The chunks of ore on this mine were noticeably smaller. If each chunk of ore produced one Blue Planet Soul, then…
The mine before us is expected to produce as many as three hundred Blue Star Souls.
The mine in the Demon Realm does not exceed a hundred meters in height and produces around a hundred Blue Star Souls.
A mine of the same size here produces three times as much as a mine in the Domain of Unified Magic.
“Five mines mean one thousand five hundred Blue Star Souls, enough to forge another Domain Guardian.”
Lu Yu rubbed his hands together vigorously, his eyes sparkling with excitement as he said, “It looks like my wish to arm Fanggang to the teeth is finally going to come true.”
The Domain Guardians, forged from the soul of the Blue Star, can acquire one of his abilities and can even evolve into King Sovereigns.
What would happen if a city had several Wangzun guardians?
Lu Yu found five mines at the edge of this area and felt it was absolutely necessary to thoroughly investigate the region to see if anything had been left behind.
