Swallowing the Stars: Become Stronger by Taking on Disciples

Chapter 33 Breaking the Shackles

Mandejan swore that what he was witnessing was the most shocking scene he had ever seen in his life.

A super being repeatedly used secret techniques to actually upgrade a batch of low-level materials to high-level materials!

While he was still in a daze, Gao Ya said, "Take these materials back and prepare them again."

"Yes, sir."

Mandezhang didn't leave immediately. Instead, he mustered his courage and asked, "Sir, may I ask what secret technique you just used?"

"Original Mutation"

"My lord, you must be joking. A mutation of the source could not possibly have such an effect."

Gao Ya laughed and said, "If it were a natural talent technique, it would indeed be impossible, but this is a technique that has been replicated, recreated, and improved."

"A secret technique for replicating one's talent!" Mandejang exclaimed in shock.

As everyone knows, even the most useless talent techniques cannot be replicated, because they contain the primordial will of the universe, something even the Lord of Chaos City cannot comprehend.

Judging from the tone of the man before him, he was clearly not joking. More importantly, he had seen it with his own eyes; the man had indeed caused the material to undergo a positive mutation.

This news is insane!

When 'Original Mutation' becomes a completely controllable secret technique, the shackles that were created during the potion development process will be completely broken, and they will have an inexhaustible supply of high-level materials!

Things that once only existed in our imagination will become reality!

Products that remain in the laboratory will also have the opportunity to enter the production line for mass production!

Pharmacists, or rather, almost all professions related to materials, are about to experience an unprecedented boom!

"That's right, so, how about it, want to learn?"

"Want to learn...want to learn...want to learn..." Gao Ya's words echoed in Mandezhang's ears like a demonic whisper.

He knelt down with a thud. "Please enlighten me, sir."

Gao Ya waved his hand, unleashing an invisible divine force that lifted him up, and said, "You should understand how precious this secret technique is. If it falls into the hands of other races, it will undoubtedly aid the enemy. Therefore, it will be kept as the highest secret of our race. If you wish to cultivate this secret technique, you will need to receive special protection, and your personal freedom will be restricted."

"My lord, what price am I willing to pay?"

"Okay, go and reconstitute the potion. We'll let you know when we have any updates."

"Yes"

After waiting for half a month, Gao Ya received good news from Mandezhang.

"My lord, the newly formulated potion can fully replenish the divine power of a peak-level Immortal Lord, but the cost is only 100 Chaos Yuan, and it can be produced in unlimited quantities!"

Are there any side effects?

"One problem is that it will cause a temporary instability of divine power, resulting in twice the normal consumption of divine power during battle."

Gao Ya laughed. What kind of flaw is this? This isn't a flaw at all.

He continued, "If the materials can be further improved, can a Venerable-level potion be developed in a short period of time?"

"Yes! The company headquarters has researched all levels of potions, and the formulas have been available for a long time. However, the high cost of materials has prevented the finished products from leaving the laboratory."

"Okay, you can go now. Wait for my message."

"Yes"

Gao Ya entered the virtual universe and arrived at Thunder Island and the Chaos Temple.

"Xingyu, you were looking for me?"

"Well, there's something..." Gao Ya explained the replication of the 'Original Mutation' and the drug development, "I'm using this secret method to invest. For all projects established by the company using this secret method, I will own 80% of the shares, and the company will own 20%. I will be responsible for the entire research and development and production process, and the finished products produced will be supplied to me without limit."

"No problem," the Chaos City Lord readily agreed.

With the effects of "fundamental mutation," the costs of all projects will be drastically reduced, resulting in unimaginably high profits.

Just like a potion to restore divine power

Damn, a potion that can replenish the divine power of a peak-level Immortal Marquis can sell for at least 100 million Hunyuan, but the cost is only 100 Hunyuan. With mass production, there is even room for further reduction. What kind of divine business is this!

Most importantly, Gao Ya said that there is still room for further improvement in the secret technique, which means that in time, the divine power restoration potion that is useful to the Venerable One and the Lord of the Universe can also be produced at low cost!

By then, the weakness of the human race's divine bodies will be overcome, and the human race's strong will be able to burn their divine power without restraint and fight head-on with other races!

After a moment of contemplation, the Chaos City Lord continued, "However, the profits here are simply too great for the Virtual Universe Company to handle alone. It would be best to cooperate with the Giant Axe Arena and the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance."

"You can discuss the business collaborations yourselves, but the Divine Power Restoration Potion project needs to be launched as soon as possible."

"it is good"

After uploading the "Original Mutation" secret technique to the core database of the virtual universe, Gao Ya also sent a separate copy to Mandezhang.

"From now on, you will stay in the Void Realm and be directly responsible to me."

"Yes, sir."

"Yes, your main task is to research divine power restoration potions and life gene potions. If you need anything, just report to the company headquarters, and they will meet all your needs."

"Yes"

Unlimited funding, unlimited resources, and a state-of-the-art independent laboratory.

Even Master Fisher didn't receive this kind of treatment.

Mandezhang was practically fainting with happiness. Being with such a big boss was truly wonderful. He'd originally thought coming here would be a drudgery, but unexpectedly, it had turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

After finalizing the cooperation details with the other four major powers, Virtual Universe Corporation acted swiftly, immediately initiating dozens of projects at its headquarters, covering multiple fields such as divine power restoration potions, gene potions, and life potions.

Virtual Universe, the Glory Secret Realm of the Cosmic Mercenary Alliance

The Lord of Giant Gold, one of the three great universe lords of the alliance, said, "High-level treasure-level weapon refiners, the inheritance of the eight fusion laws, divine power restoration potions... The Lord of the Starry Sky may not interfere in human affairs, but he influences humanity in every aspect."

"This is a good thing. Having such a powerful being leading humanity forward is beneficial to all of us," said the Void Lord beside him.

"What good can it be to monopolize divine power restoration potions?" the Lord of Desolate Mirror said in a deep voice.

All cultivators at the Immortal level or above have a need to replenish their divine power. Treasures for restoring divine power are extremely precious, classified as restricted items. Most cultivators can only slowly absorb the divine power from the ocean of laws over time.

Who knew that Virtual Universe Corporation could drive the price of this thing down to rock bottom? The influence they wielded was immense, enough to make all the immortals side with them.

"Huang Jian, think positively. For so many years, the Virtual Universe Company has maintained a monopoly, monopolizing the virtual universe and so many treasures. One more divine power recovery potion won't make a difference."

"Yes, yes, there's no need to compete with Virtual Universe Company; just maintain our advantages."

The Lord of Desolation glanced at the two speechlessly. He was the one who had to be the head of this household. If these two were the alliance leaders, wouldn't they just lead the alliance into the Virtual Universe Company?

"Sigh," he sighed inwardly.

He didn't care about any magical power-restoring potion, but rather the clan's treasure trove.

Given the sheer power of Virtual Universe Company, it should be entitled to a larger share of the treasure vault, according to the rules.

However, the extra share didn't appear out of thin air; it was forcibly taken from several other companies.

This explains why the five major powers are united externally, but engage in open and covert struggles internally.

He really didn't care for immortal-level divine power restoration potions.

"How come the Virtual Universe Company is so lucky?" The Lord of Desolation recalled that day ten thousand years ago, when the Lord of the Stars had just begun to show his talent when the Virtual Universe Company preemptively took him under its wing...

They were incredibly lucky to have acquired a high-ranking individual with the potential to be the strongest in the universe!
