Young King Qing laughed heartily. "Since you all want them, it's an honor for my Divine Gu Dynasty. Since that's the case, everyone will have one." He then instructed Director Yi, who left with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. Right, Your Majesty, can you give me one of those flowers?" Wen Qian'er asked expectantly.
Young King Qing smiled. "Of course. If you're interested in them, feel free to bring them up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Qian'er was very happy.
Young King Qing looked at Lu Yin. "Is there anyone you're interested in?
Feel free to tell us. "
Everyone looked at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin smiled. "Cultivation is too complicated, and the path of gu is too profound. It's not suitable for me."
Mister You spoke up, "What, Alliance Leader Lu doesn't like any of them?"
Lu Yin looked at him expressionlessly. "One more word, and I'll slap your mouth until it's broken."
Mister You slammed the table and stood up angrily, but the official behind him held him back. "Director, please calm down."
Young King Qing frowned and looked at Mister You. An invisible force was suppressing him, preventing him from speaking or moving. Mister You couldn't sense where this force was coming from, and he thought that Lu Yin had attacked him.
Young King Qing wasn't helping Lu Yin, but he didn't want any problems to arise at this time. He knew Lu Yin's personality well, and he was someone who would do what he said.
Mister You sullenly was suppressed by Young King Qing.
The official didn't even dare to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin sneered and looked at Young King Qing. "Since Mister You said that not taking it would seem like he's looking down on the Divine Gu Dynasty, then I'll take the wireless gu."
Young King Qing smiled. "Alliance Leader Lu, everyone's cultivation path is different. Gu is just for fun, so there's no need to take it seriously."
Lu Yin smiled. "Other gu are inconvenient to carry around, so I'll take the wireless gu. Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."
"Since Alliance Leader Lu has decided, then there's no problem."
"By the way, Your Majesty, have that youth teach me how to use the wireless gu," Lu Yin said.
Young King Qing was puzzled, as Lu Yin was really interested in the wireless gu.
Opposite him, Imperial Tutor Yuan smiled: "Since Alliance Leader Lu is interested in wireless Gu, why don't you make a trip to the small city? Miao Miao is also going to the small city soon, she can lead the way for Alliance Leader Lu."
Qing Shaohuang glanced at Imperial Tutor Yuan. This old fox was trying his best to sell his granddaughter.
Hearing Grand Tutor Yuan's words, Yuan Miaomiao blushed.
Qing Longlong stared at Lu Yin; he had gotten off lightly.
Lu Yin was delighted. "If that's the case, then that's great. After the banquet, I'll head to the small city with Miss Miaomiao. Many thanks, Tutor Yuan."
"Of course, of course. Haha." Imperial Tutor Yuan was very happy.
Prince Ruan had been watching from the sidelines since the beginning, and no one understood the situation in the Divine Gu Dynasty better than he did. Young Empress Qing was wary of Lu Yin and wanted to help the Sword Sect and other powers deal with him. Grand Tutor Yuan, on the other hand, was doing everything he could to rope in Lu Yin for the sake of the Divine Gu Dynasty. Then, he banished Lu Yin so that he would never be able to enter the Divine Gu Dynasty again.
The most painful ones were the outstanding youths of Gu King City, who were all staring at Yuan Miaomiao. Every year, people would line up outside the city to propose marriage, but not a single one had ever succeeded. And now, Yuan Miaomiao was going to belong to an outsider.
Yuan Miaomiao was the number one beauty of the Divine Gu Dynasty, but she had no choice but to marry an outsider. This made the youths grit their teeth, but there was nothing they could do.
Not long after, a bead appeared.
An evasive bead was placed on Lu Yin's desk, and as he looked at it, Lu Yin glanced at the Wolfish Prince. The Wolfish Prince's expression was slightly unnatural.
Lu Yin thought of Anicca. Perhaps this bead had been poisoned with Anicca, and this bead was Young Empress Qing's method of dealing with him.
Anicca's poison was colorless and odorless, and it did not even have rune lines. This was the safest method to deal with him.
Young Empress Qing had been staring at Lu Yin the entire time, and when she saw him put away the bead, she smiled in satisfaction. "Come, everyone. Welcome to the Divine Gu Dynasty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
…
The wireless gu was also brought to Lu Yin, along with the youth called Little Fa.
The youth was terrified, and he did not dare to look at Lu Yin.
Lu Yin had only casually said a few words before sending him away. He didn't pay too much attention to him, and it was more like he was just brushing him off.
Next up was the gift-giving segment, and each of the representatives of their respective families presented their gifts. Lu Yin gave a bottle of pills that didn't improve his strength, but it was still better than the slap that Shao Huang had given Yi Zongguan.
Yi Guan's eyes flashed with a cold light when he saw Lu Yin's gift. That slap was something that would never be forgotten.
Soon, it was Balsam's turn, and she gestured for Yan to present the gift.
"Your Majesty, Shamrock Enterprises' gift is also a pill, but it's not something that can be consumed. It's similar to an escape bead and can help you avoid certain dangers," Balsam explained with a smile.
Young Empress Qing was curious. "Avoid certain dangers?"
Balsam took out a pill from her cosmic ring and tossed it out. The void tore apart, revealing another part of space. This was the Astral Source Universe.
Prince Ruan and Grand Tutor Yuan were shocked, and they blurted out, "The Astral Source Universe?"
Young Empress Qing was shocked; a pill could actually break through the Astral Source Universe?
It was inconceivable, as that was something that could only be achieved by someone whose power level exceeded 500,000.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. Shamrock Enterprises was no longer hiding the Astral Source Pills, so what were their plans?
Everyone was shocked by the pills' effects, and Young Empress Qing was no exception. Even though she had a power level of over 800,000 and was one of the top powerhouses of the Innerverse, she was still shocked by the pills.
Everyone had always known that Shamrock Enterprises was a colossus, and even the isolated Gu Flowzone knew this. That was why they had invited Shamrock Enterprises, but no one had expected them to develop such a pill.
Grand Tutor Yuan immediately asked, "How's the production of these pills?"
Balsam smiled politely. "They can be mass produced, and the technology is being simplified. I believe that in the near future, the Astral Source Universe will no longer be a legend."
Grand Tutor Yuan's expression changed. "What's the current production?"
Balsam smiled politely. "It's a trade secret."
"Can anyone use them?
The Astral Source Universe isn't something that ordinary people can come into contact with. "
Balsam replied, "Currently, only a Hunter can use them, as only a Hunter's physical body can barely work with the Astral Source Pill to travel through the Astral Source Universe. However, we're already in the process of developing even more effective Astral Source Pills, and we're confident that even Explorers can use them."
Everyone was shocked. If this was true, then the future of battle would change drastically. The escape bead only increased one's speed, but the Astral Source Pill could allow one to instantly enter the heavens. Even a Hunter would find it difficult to kill an Explorer.
Mister You leaned forward with a cold expression. "Why didn't we know about this Astral Source Pill?"
Balsam looked at Mister You.
Mister You was referring to the Hall of Honor and the Board of Governors. Once a peerless item like the Astral Source Pill was successfully developed, it was reasonable to inform the Hall of Honor first.
"It's probably because the news spread slowly. We've already submitted the information about our successful research in advance," Balsam replied.
Mister You's eyes narrowed. This woman's answer was obviously perfunctory. Shamrock Enterprises?
Fine, he would remember that.
Young Empress Qing looked at Balsam solemnly. "Many thanks to Shamrock Enterprises for thinking so highly of my Divine Gu Dynasty. I'll accept your gift."
Balsam bowed slowly. "I wish Your Majesty Empress Qing the best of luck in breaking through to a power level of a million and standing at the peak of the universe."
Young Empress Qing smiled. "I'll be counting on your auspicious words."
"Miss Balsam, do you have any extra Astral Source Pills that you can sell to my Wen family?" Wen Yao asked as he looked at Balsam with a burning gaze.
In the Spirit Palace, the Little Mountain God and the rest were all staring at her.
Balsam smiled. "The Astral Source Pills will become the star product of Shamrock Enterprises, and a batch will be sent to each family before the official sale. They should be on their way to each family now, including …" She then looked at Lu Yin. "The Great Eastern Alliance."
Lu Yin's expression changed. Shamrock Enterprises had sent Astral Source Pills to the Great Eastern Alliance?
He had a bad premonition.
Balsam had tried to probe his usage of the Astral Source Pills several times, and she had suspected that something had happened to the pills in his hands. However, she had been unable to find any clues. Lu Yin had directly handed the matter of contacting Shamrock Enterprises to Qiong Xi'er, but he had not been able to tell her the real reason.
If Shamrock Enterprises directly sent a batch of Astral Source Pills to the Ross Empire's stronghold, what would the consequences be?
Would the sapling be discovered?
Lu Yin did not know what Balsam was thinking.
He was certain that this was Shamrock Enterprises' probing, and they had grasped the perfect opportunity to do so.
Balsam stared at Lu Yin, and when she saw that his expression had changed, she moved her fingers. There was indeed a problem; the Astral Source Pills that had gone out of control were related to Lu Yin.
Lu Yin and Balsam exchanged glances, and both of them seemed to be able to read each other's intentions.
No one was truly stupid, and Lu Yin had never believed that others were stupider than him. He had merely relied on certain advantages that allowed him to take the initiative and predict events with godly foresight. However, Balsam was the president of Shamrock Enterprises' Innerverse, and her schemes were far from ordinary. This included the Sword Sect's Liu Qianjue's plan.
If not for his destiny and background, he would have been played to death a long time ago. Scheming against others would eventually lead to being schemed against.
Lu Yin was certain that he had been schemed against by Balsam at this moment. No matter what had happened at the Ross Empire's stronghold, Balsam had already confirmed something the moment his expression had changed after hearing Balsam's words.
Lu Yin took a deep breath and looked at Balsam with a much sharper gaze that was completely different from before.
Since that was the case, then let's play it out and see who could outplay the other.
Balsam frowned and stared at Lu Yin for half a minute. She only reacted when someone coughed and returned to her seat.
Next, it was the others' turn to present their congratulatory gifts.
…
At the Ross Empire's stronghold, the Astral Source Pills that Shamrock Enterprises had sent had already arrived.
The person in charge of delivering the pills was the Xiaoye King, the successor of Shamrock Enterprises. He had participated in the Star Tower contest and possessed the battle technique Shifting Stars and Leaves, but it was not particularly outstanding.
"I'm sorry for taking the liberty to visit. My father has instructed me to present a new batch of Astral Source Pills to the Great Eastern Alliance," the Xiaoye King said to Qiong Xi'er.
Qiong Xi'er was surprised. "We haven't reached an agreement with Shamrock Enterprises regarding the purchase of Astral Source Pills. What is the meaning of this?"
