Lu Yu didn’t know who the original owner of the bead was.
But this area really amazed him.
When he once again discovered five Blue Star mines at another edge of the region, he couldn’t help but jump up and let out a burst of wild laughter in the deserted space.
If all ten mines are completely exhausted, that would amount to three thousand Blue Star Souls.
Three thousand Blue Star souls can be forged into three Domain Guardians.
While thinking, Lu Yu was also searching.
In each of the four directions of this area, there are five Lanching Mines.
This amount made even Lu Yu feel his scalp tingling.
Because the original owner of the beads seemed to have excessive wealth.
He felt that he was indeed very fortunate to possess so many treasures.
However, the owner of these pearls actually possesses ten Lankstar mines.
Even if the mines do not develop further, the value of these ten mines already exceeds the cost of building this entire city.
And the ten Star Spirit Mines, each ten thousand meters high, along with the divine mountains from the previous regions, and several other Star Spirit Mines.
The owner of the beads must have extraordinary wealth.
“There are other areas ahead that I can’t enter yet. Just how many treasures and how much wealth remain yet to be counted here.”
Lu Yu has already tried it.
The next area requires a strength level of a thousand Zun, and the area after that probably requires five thousand or even ten thousand Zun of strength to enter.
But the things in this area were already enough to excite him.
Lu Yu loaded three Star Spirit mines and ten Blue Star mines onto his ship.
After leaving the Treasure Pearl, he realized that he had been there for five days.
The engineering for the second field was also completely contracted out.
Since they hadn’t seen Lu Yu, the major factions started their work directly.
This time, it’s beyond the capacity of just a few major powers to handle.
The construction of the second domain is shared by at least more than 200 organizations and forces.
They believed that Lu Yu would not owe them money, so they chose to start the work first.
The construction of the second area, according to some calculations, would take at least a year to complete, and that’s assuming there’s sufficient Starstone available.
At the same time, these five days have already shown signs of prosperity in Fanggang City.
While undertaking the projects, the major factions have also been assigned their respective areas. Each faction has already begun construction within their designated territory.
At the same time, millions of people are pouring into this city.
Everyone came with the aspiration of settling down in this city.
Moreover, the strong defensive capabilities displayed by the first domain are attracting countless talents from various fields.
Some of them are very powerful, while others have long been focused on their own fields without developing much strength.
However, everyone who has experienced the apocalypse wants a safe place to start a new life.
And Fanggangcheng is the most ideal place for them now.
A large number of technical professionals from various fields have rushed to Fanggang, and some of them are talents valued by military forces from different countries, yet they still could not be retained.
The construction and planning of Fangchenggang have become more reasonable and efficient.
This city can be said to change several times a day.
Markets, shops, and restaurants are rising from the ground in the first and second sectors.
Before the defense shield was activated in the first realm, everyone could enter, allowing this city to become a thriving metropolis.
Lu Yu could see more smiles on his mother’s face as she began to venture out of the core area and move through the city.
Sometimes, my mother would exchange a few words with some friends, and at other times, she would enter a teahouse and spend an entire afternoon drinking tea and listening to music.
He could see his mother occasionally buying a few pieces of clothing she liked or carefully selecting delicious food to bring home.
Lu Yu’s eyes were slightly red.
The mother in his eyes had never been so calm and leisurely before.
Since he could remember, his mother had been busy, constantly scolded by relatives coming and going.
His mother was secretly wiping away tears in the dark, and he understood.
Mother secretly ate the moldy food, leaving the white steamed buns for him.
He had made a vow to give his mother the best life possible and to let her live in peace.
Today, he did it.
“It’s not enough, still not enough!” Lu Yu looked at the bustling harbor, clenched his fist toward the sky, and shouted furiously, his eyes growing even sharper.
This city is not yet the strongest; it still cannot protect its own loved ones.
Lu Yu stepped out of the first domain several days after returning to Fanggang.
Many people were watching him.
Lu Yu is not the king of a nation, nor is he the king of the demon race.
But in this city, Lu Yu is the king!
Lu Yu rarely appears at such occasions; there must be a reason when he does.
“What surprise will Lu Yu bring us this time?” someone murmured softly, his eyes fixed firmly on Lu Yu.
The mine that Lu Yu brought back from the treasure-hunting area first had long been exhausted of its resources.
And now all the magic apes are in a state of sleeping after being well-fed.
Now, let’s bring out a few mines and keep the magic apes working as well.
Therefore, Lu Yu found an open area outside the city wall of the first realm and calculated the space, which was sufficient to place the mine.
Lu Yu didn’t hesitate for a moment. With one hand, he reached into his storage space and took it out.
Boom.
A ten-thousand-meter-high mountain suddenly appeared, and the powerful air currents were instantly compressed and pushed in all directions.
Many people were unprepared and were blown into the air directly.
Hum.
The high mountains fell directly within less than a hundred meters from the city wall.
“My mother! Did I see that right?” someone exclaimed, eyes wide with shock. “This is the Star Spirit Mine—how can there be a mine this huge?”
There was complete silence all around; everyone was stunned.
“This mountain… why do I feel like something is not quite right about it?” someone said, looking at the mine. Under the dazzling light and the river-like galaxy, the sight was overwhelming.
Someone suddenly screamed in shock, “Ah, my eyes! They’re gone blind! Level-nine star spirit stones, all of them! And stardust—I can’t believe what I’m seeing, the proportion of stardust is so high!”
“Good heavens, am I seeing this right? Is this really a Protoss mine? It’s practically a treasure trove!”
The surroundings were in an uproar; everyone had noticed the unique nature of this mine.
That’s terrifying.
How much is this mine worth? Can it even be calculated anymore?
While these people were still screaming wildly, Lu Yu’s hand had already reached into his storage space once again.
Buzz!
Another ten-thousand-meter mine has been successfully established.
“Uh, ah.” The countless people around felt their scalps tingling, as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.
Boom. Rumble. Roar.
Another mine has been established, with three mines lined up in a row, their combined oppressive presence feeling like an endless sea.
Many people felt their body hair stand on end, staring at the three mines with dizziness and confusion.
For others, having a mine that can yield hundreds of level-nine Stellar Crystals is considered a lot, and a country might have at most just a few dozen mines capable of producing more than two thousand such crystals.
Surprisingly, Lu Yu actually took out three mines at once, each mine entirely composed of grade-nine star spirit stones.
As for Starlight, it goes without saying. Nowadays, apart from the mines in the Demon Hunter Plains, there isn’t a single mine left in any other country that produces Starlight.
A mine can produce several ten thousand pieces, and the production ratio is usually around ten percent.
There are over a billion people, so how many stars are there in the galaxy?
This is practically something in short supply.
Lu Yu’s share in this mine reaches as high as thirty percent; just imagine how much starlight is produced here.
Releasing just one such mine would be astonishing enough. Yet what’s being presented now isn’t one, but three.
Even if this can be considered astonishing wealth, it’s not the kind of astonishment one would expect.
This shock was so great that it left many people reeling.
“I do know that on the Demon Hunting Plains, several organizations have discovered mines nearly ten thousand meters high, where the proportion of level-nine star spirit stones produced is quite significant. However, even those mines shouldn’t have such an extremely high yield as this.”
“I’ve heard about it too. The organizations couldn’t officially go to war over those few mines, but they were practically fighting tooth and nail to seize them.”
“Why is it that others fight over just one, even ending up with bumps on their heads? And yet Lu Yu managed to come up with three all at once? Where did he get them from?”
People discussed it, feeling it was too incredible to believe.
After placing the Star Soul Mine here, Lu Yu circled around the mine and then walked to the foot of the city wall.
One hand reached into the storage space——
“No way, there’s more?!” someone exclaimed, nearly fainting from shock this time.
Three mines are already enough to drive people crazy. If there were four, would that spark a war?
Lu Yu walked to the position of the city wall within the first domain.
This area has not yet begun construction.
Lu Yu’s hand extended out from the storage space, and the mine he retrieved was no more than a hundred meters high.
Boom.
The mine came crashing down, emitting dazzling flashes of deep blue light that left people momentarily blinded.
Many people wondered, “What kind of mine is this?”
“Never seen anything like it before. Lu Yu placed him in the first domain, which means this mine is very important. More important than the Star Spirit Mine?”
Humans can’t even tell what this is.
However, demons around had already started to ponder, their brows tightly furrowed.
A demon carefully examined it, recalling records he had seen before, and stammered in a trembling voice: “This… this is the Lanshan Mine.”
After his reminder, many members of the demon race suddenly recalled and stammered in trembling voices: “That’s right! It’s the Blue Star Mine. Am I seeing this correctly? This is truly the Blue Star Mine. This mine is where Blue Star Souls are produced!”
The commotion caused earlier had not yet subsided when many people rushed toward the city wall.
Viewed up close, they still could not see clearly whether the mine contained the Blue Planet Spirit.
As for the demon race, they clearly knew what was inside.
However, this mine seems to be somewhat different from ordinary mines.
The ore on the Blue Star Mine is slightly smaller but emits a stronger glow.
What does this represent?
A demon said in a trembling voice, “Legend has it that every single piece of ore from the Blue Star Mine contains a Blue Star Soul at its core. The size of the ore has no relation to the probability of producing a Blue Star Soul. Regular ores from the Blue Star Mine are more than twice the size of these, and a single mountain can yield about one hundred Blue Star Souls. This, this mine—if we calculate based on the quantity of ore—could absolutely produce three hundred Blue Star Souls! High yield? This is definitely high yield! One mine like this equals three ordinary ones!”
What is the Soul of the Blue Star? It is a precious treasure that many demons use to enhance their strength.
Even humans can use the Soul of Blue Planet to transfer skills from Star Soldiers onto themselves.
Moreover, people have also discovered many special uses for the Blue Planet’s Soul. No matter which application it is, it is extremely precious.
The exchange between a Blue Planet Soul, Star Spirit Stone, and even Star Essence is not equivalent at all.
For those in need, a single Blue Planet Soul is equivalent to a thousand-meter-high Spirit Mine.
Lu Yu brought out a Luanxing mine.
Even if someone is as wealthy as a nation, there’s no need to flaunt it like this just to provoke others!
This is simply something that makes people envious, jealous, and resentful.
Just as they were discussing, they saw Lu Yu’s hand reaching into his storage space again.
Someone felt dizzy and said, “Goodness, is everything okay? A-are there more?”
The man realized he was stuttering, and his voice was off-key.
Boom…
Another bluesite mine was brought up.
The people on the city wall, those within the First Domain, and even those outside the Domain fell silent.
Felt like I’d been struck by lightning.
After two Blue Star mines came a third one—
After the third comes the fourth, and then—
The Fifth Lanxing Mine—
Someone’s heart can hardly bear it anymore.
Based on the calculation of collecting three hundred souls from blue stars for one statue, these five statues would amount to one thousand five hundred souls.
If Lu Yu is willing to sell, just raising half of the required amount would allow him to gather one-third of the funds needed for the second domain.
But they found that Lu Yu was not done yet, as he kept taking out one Blue Star mine after another from his storage space.
The last ten mines finally came into view, enough to drive anyone completely insane.
Some demons stammered in fear: “Robbery, looting, we could never gain this much from a robbery.”
Someone nodded in agreement and said, “If we could really get our hands on these things, I’d risk my life for it.”
During this period, they were greatly stimulated by Lu Yu.
Now once again being stimulated.
This city is truly a place that tests one’s heart.
Lu Yu placed ten Blue Star mines on the ground, then commanded the leisurely magic apes to rush toward the Blue Star mines.
After the Lánxīng mine is mined, the Xīnglíng mine will be next.
Everyone knew that Lu Yu was about to start large-scale mining operations on the Lanxing Mine.
Someone shouted loudly, “Mr. Lu, are you planning to sell the Blue Planet’s Soul?”
Lu Yu looked around at the countless burning gazes and felt a stir in his heart. He then said, “I have my own use for the Blue Planet’s Soul and don’t intend to sell it. But if I ever did decide to part with it, I would only exchange it for one thing.”
Lu Yu originally intended to use these Blue Star Souls to forge domain guardians.
However, after seeing the excitement in their eyes, he changed his mind.
After hearing Lu Yu’s words, the people around realized that Lu Yu was willing to sell, and many of them nervously clenched their fists.
Someone hurriedly asked, “Mr. Lu, what is it that you want to exchange?”
“This is the bone of the King’s Veneration,” Lu Yu pointed toward the Blue Star Mine. “Whoever holds the bone of the King’s Veneration should understand its uniqueness. Therefore, exchanging the Soul of Blue Star for the bone of the King’s Veneration is not a one-to-one trade. If anyone here possesses the bone of the King’s Veneration, feel free to come here and trade with me; the price is negotiable.”
Many people looked surprised, their expressions reflecting confusion after hearing the four characters “Wang Zun’s Bone.”
They knew about Wang Zun’s realm.
What then is the bone of Wang Zun?
Among the crowd, a small minority appeared unusually thoughtful, slowly contemplating something.
Lu Yu noticed the differences in their expressions, then slowly turned around and stepped into the core area.
Even if a person has immense wealth and power to collect the bones of King Zun, it would still be impossible for them to cover every single territory.
And if the entire world were to know, then with hundreds of millions of eyes and hands working together to search, the chances of finding everything would be even greater.
Before Lu Yu entered the core area, he had already faintly heard murmurs of discussion coming from behind.
To be honest, the idea to exchange the Soul of Blue Planet for the Bone of King Zun was also a sudden impulse this time.
Stepping into the core area, he saw the astonished gazes of Luo Haotian and the others.
Obviously, Lu Yu’s offer of three mines was quite intimidating.
Yang Lie looked at Lu Yu somewhat uncertainly and asked, “The Treasure Vault Pearl?”
Lu Yu didn’t hide it either and nodded, saying, “That’s right. There are still many such mines within the Treasure Vault Pearl.”
“What? What else?” More than thirty people were greatly shocked, their expressions becoming even more strange.
Fang Hua frowned and said, “I’ve only heard that the Treasure Vault Pearl has an enhancing effect, but the number of Star Sparks in the mine is clearly incorrect. Moreover, the situation in the Blue Star Mine also differs from previous records. Mr. Lu, this Treasure Vault Pearl seems to have more than just an enhancement effect, doesn’t it?”
Fang Hua’s question is valid.
People only know that Lu Yu owns mines, but they don’t know where those mines originally came from.
Fang Hua and others understood where the mine had come from.
Thus, it only added to the confusion.
Fang Hua’s question was also the question on everyone’s mind.
They all turned to look at Lu Yu, knowing well that Lu Yu would never hide anything.
Otherwise, Lu Yu would not have shown them the treasure vault pearl that day.
“That’s right,” Lu Yu said without attempting to hide anything. He briefly recounted what had happened during this entry into the Treasure Vault Pearl.
“Evolve!”
Thirty-five people heard it and couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath.
They all saw astonishment and shock in each other’s eyes.
They were equally horrified themselves.
Thirty-five people were now exceptionally excited.
This is a secret never before mentioned in any records. If it were to get out, it would surely stir up a tremendous uproar.
Evolution and promotion are completely two different concepts, you know.
“No wonder even ordinary star soldiers can evolve skills now.”
“If that’s the case, then the increase in the number of Xinghua in the Xingling Mine can also be explained,” someone nodded in agreement. “After evolving further, grade-nine Xingling stones become Xinghua.”
“Even the ores in the Lanying Mine have undergone changes. It can now produce three hundred Lanying Souls. This evolution is quite unexpected.”
Everyone was speaking at once, one after another.
Although the treasure pearl wasn’t theirs, they had temporarily acknowledged Lu Yu as their leader. Therefore, they felt happy for Lu Yu for possessing such a treasure.
At this moment, a girl blinked her big eyes and said, “But this still doesn’t make sense. I know there are records of people seeing the Blue Star Mine within the domain of Demon Subjugation. There have been many accounts of mines producing a hundred Blue Star Souls. However, this mine produces three hundred. Even with evolution, shouldn’t one hundred becoming three hundred be impossible?”
It’s often said that girls are meticulous.
The girl’s single sentence left everyone on the scene stunned.
The originally lively atmosphere became very heavy.
Yet the oppressive atmosphere continued to change.
The expressions of the thirty-five people, including Lu Yu’s, were growing increasingly solemn, their eyes sparkling with an intense and excited light.
None of the people present were fools; on the contrary, they were all too clever.
A girl’s remark suddenly made everyone present break free from another cycle.
Everyone thought of a possibility.
“This… this can’t be possible!” Luo Haotian couldn’t help but swallow hard, his voice trembling as he said, “If it’s really like this, wouldn’t it be just too incredible?”
“I’d rather this ability be against the heavens themselves.”
“If that’s really the case, could this ability be applied to humans as well?”
Everyone was talking, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.
One person exclaimed excitedly, “Are we talking about the same kind of power?”
Everyone nodded in unison, and even the faces of the girls turned crimson red.
Fang Hua rubbed his hands and said, “How about I count to three, and we all say it together? Let’s see if we’re thinking of the same ability.”
“Damn it, what a waste of words. Are you trying to suffocate me?” Yang Lie said loudly, “Growth, it’s the power of growth. The treasure palace pearl isn’t about evolution, it’s about growing up.”
After Yang Lie spoke loudly, there was first a moment of silence around, then everyone burst into laughter.
Everyone laughed heartily, their laughter unrestrained and exuberant.
