Chapter 788: Chapter 355: Star Spirit Stone Marrow (2)
"Marquis Jue Yuan and Marquis Star Refining?" Lin Qing glanced at him, "I don’t really know much."
He didn’t have any connections, so how could he know such secret news?
However, he had heard that in this wave of State Domain wars, the strongest two states were Jue Yuan State and Star Refining State; both marquises were not ordinary eternal existences.
As for the emperor mentioned by the other party, it was naturally Emperor Ice of the Ice Seal Empire.
"Do you genuinely not know or are you pretending not to know?"
The long-haired young man couldn’t help but glance at Lin Qing, feeling a bit puzzled.
In his view, Lin Qing was clearly, like him, just a low-level chaotic creature, unimpressive in the Star Refining Holy Star, yet wealthier than him, and he didn’t seem to have much respect for those high-level chaotic creatures in his words.
Obviously, he had quite a background, perhaps coming from a family of eternal existence?
However, Lin Qing obviously didn’t want to say, so he naturally wouldn’t press the matter.
"I came to the Holy Star just to collect some special exotic treasures during the exchange meeting," Lin Qing shook his head and said, "I didn’t plan to get too involved in the war."
"Alright." The long-haired young man didn’t say more, only remarked, "It’s a pity; the treasures from my family are primarily with my father, and I only found these two exotic treasures containing future rules from the family treasure vault."
"Has your father come to the Star Refining Holy Star?" Lin Qing asked.
"Not yet," the long-haired young man replied, "My father is an old subordinate of Marquis Star Refining, very loyal to him, so he deliberately avoided the exchange meeting to avoid being approached by dominators from other states."
Lin Qing understood.
It seemed Su Lan’s father was likely a peak figure among high-level chaotic creatures, which was why Marquis Star Refining valued him highly.
Lin Qing wasn’t interested and, after leaving the auction house, said, "I’ll go back to cultivate first. If you get any news about such exotic treasures, do let me know."
The long-haired young man nodded helplessly.
Suddenly——
A row of blood-red characters appeared before his eyes, causing Lin Qing’s heart to jolt.
He remained outwardly calm, though internally he was on guard: "Someone wants to kill me? And the danger level is much higher than Uncle Flame Blood... I haven’t offended anyone since coming to the Star Refining Holy Star, could it be due to showing a bit of wealth?"
During the exchange meeting, there were plenty of low-level chaotic creatures with wealth and power; he shouldn’t be noticeable.
Moreover, Uncle Flame Blood already possessed quite formidable strength among the high-level chaotic creatures, yet the danger level was still far less than the current hostility directed at him?
"That person should be using some means to spy on me..."
Thoughts flashed through Lin Qing’s mind, but he did nothing, continuing to fly towards his island residence as usual.
As a Main God, even ultimate existences couldn’t kill him, so what did he have to fear?
...
Thousands of miles away, in a tall building.
At a dining table by the window, a grotesquely looking man in an elegant white robe was dining, slicing up an exotic beast carcass that still dripped with blood.
But the grotesque man in the white robe was indifferent to the bloody smell, continuously consuming pieces of the exotic beast’s flesh and innards, using his sharp teeth to easily bite through tendon and bone, creating cutting sounds.
Nearby servers and guests couldn’t help but change color upon witnessing this scene.
"Uncle Shadow Owl?"
"Even Uncle Shadow Owl came to attend the Holy Star Exchange Meeting!"
"The most outstanding disciple under Blood Sea Marquis?"
"This time, the marquises leading the states will probably go mad competing..."
At this moment, many people recognized the grotesque man’s identity.
This feared top powerhouse rumored to be the most formidable under eternal existence had created numerous legends; even peak chaotic creature powerhouses were crushed before him!
Yet, Shadow Owl continued feasting while sensing the aura from thousands of miles away.
"Lin Qing’s disguise secret technique is somewhat interesting. If not for my supreme-level investigation secret technique, I might not have seen through it..."
Shadow Owl pondered, "But no matter how strong this kid is, he’s just a low-level chaotic creature. Yet Yu Gong’s confidant invited me to deal with him? And wanted me to choose the timing carefully?"
He instinctively sensed something odd and potentially dangerous.
Yet the terms Yu Gong offered were too tempting for him to refuse, and he had sufficient confidence in his power.
Most importantly...
His avatar also held a Main God position in a void sea of the Main Cosmic!
Though the number of chaotic gods from the transcedent level civilizations of the Human Clan was scarce, it was in relation to the Main God positions in the void sea; many void seas lacked even a Main God, with chaotic gods far from enough.
But for a peerless genius like him, achieving chaos godhood was naturally not difficult.
Unfortunately, even with the support of a Main God position, the eternal path was still too challenging; he hadn’t achieved eternity to this day.
But with a Main God avatar, he didn’t have to fear death.
So, even aware of potential problems Yu Gong mentioned, he still came.
Besides...
His most significant background wasn’t Blood Sea Marquis but a great being of Myriad Seas Divine Country, so he had no concerns.
Few in the King Realm could match his background!
"Yu Gong said Lin Qing is seeking a breakthrough?"
Shadow Owl crunched a massive leg bone, "Then just wait a bit longer; there will always be an opportunity..."
Suddenly——
An exalted eternal aura spread throughout the restaurant; a man in a sharp black uniform suddenly appeared and walked over to Shadow Owl with a smile.
"It’s Marquis Star Refining!"
Meanwhile, another eternal aura appeared in the restaurant, belonging to a bald old man in a gray cloak.
"Marquis Jue Yuan!"
Almost simultaneously, eternal auras after another appeared in the small restaurant, each being an eternal existence.
It was clear without asking...
These eternal beings were here to invite Uncle Shadow Owl.
"Heh."
Shadow Owl grinned, revealing two rows of sharp, deadly teeth, and said indifferently, "Greetings, marquises, but I’m eating and don’t want to discuss other matters. If there’s nothing else, please leave."
...
As days went by, the registration deadline for the military recruitment of each state grew nearer.
On this day.
A colossal and majestic male phantom suddenly appeared over the ocean, wearing a straight black uniform, with a stern and dignified face, standing as tall as hundreds of billion kilometers, like a giant god opening heaven and earth standing over the sky dome.
"Welcome guests from across the stars to our Star Refining Holy Star."
The voice of the immensely majestic male phantom echoed throughout the entire ocean, as if the entire planet was speaking.
At this moment, no matter where one was in the ocean, they could see this colossal male phantom.
On an island full of birds and flowers, Lin Qing opened the door and looked up at the immense male phantom, his eyes moving slightly: "Is this... Marquis Star Refining?"
Marquis Star Refining himself certainly didn’t possess such a massive divine body, but as the Master of Holy Star, forming a phantom through the Holy Star Origin was simple.
"Since the start of the Holy Star Exchange Meeting, only a few hundred years have passed, yet over three hundred thousand high-level chaotic creatures have arrived, along with billions of low-level chaotic creatures."
Star Refining Marquis’s voice resounded through the heavens, "The registration deadline for the military recruitment of each state is near; more than seventy percent have already joined their state’s military. My Star Refining State Military will select elites in three days. All selected will qualify to receive a drop of ’Star Spirit Stone Marrow’; the higher the rank, the better the quality of the Star Spirit Stone Marrow."
Lin Qing, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but be moved in his heart.
Star Spirit Stone Marrow?
He had naturally heard of this unique treasure of the Star Refining Holy Star, which could significantly enhance comprehension in a short time, strengthening spirituality, and greatly assisting in breaking through bottlenecks.
However, this Star Spirit Stone Marrow was regarded as a treasure by Marquis Star Refining, entirely non-commercial, nowhere to buy even if one wanted to.
Or rather, such treasures were incredibly rare, always in short supply, beyond the reach of high-level chaotic creatures with ordinary backgrounds.
"In the past, Marquis Star Refining only offered a tiny amount to attract those peak chaotic creature strongmen, yet now even selected participants have a chance?"
Lin Qing thought to himself, "Seems like Marquis Star Refining and Marquis Jue Yuan perhaps really placed a bet before Emperor Ice..."
Even if he already knew Marquis Star Refining had Star Spirit Stone Marrow, he understood that with his strength, it was hopeless to contend for such treasures against those peak strongmen, so he hadn’t considered it.
But now... maybe there’s an opportunity?
"Might as well try."
