Chapter 12

Surprise

Luo Feng had already prepared himself mentally by agreeing to Zhou Tong's request to find the ruins, and since Zhou Tong had given him a prior introduction, he wasn't too surprised to see Babata. Instead, he was quite curious about what kind of intelligent life form it was.

Without further hesitation, Luo Feng immediately walked towards the metal gate.

Watching Luo Feng enter the Meteorite Starship, Zhou Tong took the opportunity to look around the massive spaceship, thinking that if he could refine and absorb the entire Meteorite Starship, he might be able to master the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash.

However, Zhou Tong immediately rejected this tempting idea. First, there wasn't enough time, and second, traveling to the universe required Babata to provide coordinates, so he couldn't go too far.

Shaking his head regretfully, Zhou Tong prepared to find a place to wait for Luo Feng to finish. Just as he turned around, he suddenly thought that although he couldn't take the whole spaceship, getting some of the golden essence shouldn't be a problem.

Since the Meteorite Starship is already damaged, it doesn't matter if it gets any worse. Besides, absorbing the essence of gold won't damage its appearance. Even if it's discovered in the future that the metal quality of the hull has decreased, we can just blame it on wear and tear over time.

Arriving at one of the edges of the spaceship, Zhou Tong sat cross-legged and began to circulate the White Emperor Golden Emperor Slash, absorbing the golden essence of the Crimson Copper Mother that had been used to forge the Meteorite Starship.

Feeling the strands of high-quality golden essence, Zhou Tong felt a sense of satisfaction he had never experienced since cultivating the Three Thousand Great Daos.

This further solidified Zhou Tong's plan to travel to space as soon as possible.

While happily absorbing the golden essence, he dreamed of achieving freedom of cultivation once he reached the universe, roaming freely across the cosmos and ascending to the pinnacle...

"I think I'm still missing a suitable weapon!"

Zhou Tong suddenly realized that going to space would inevitably involve battles, and he was currently penniless and had nothing.

After some thought, Zhou Tong came up with two solutions.

First, we need to ask Luo Feng for an alms.

Currently, there are two best telekinetic weapons on Earth: the Sky Shuttle and the Arc Blade Disc. Luo Feng mainly uses the Sky Shuttle, but he has hardly used the Arc Blade Disc since he obtained it, so it's just good for a temporary solution.

The second option is to rely on our own efforts.

The Three Thousand Great Daos: The Great Refining Treasure Technique can even refine immortal artifacts, so refining a psychic weapon is a piece of cake. Moreover, once you've mastered the Great Refining Treasure Technique, you can become a wholesaler of precious treasures in the universe. You won't have to find cultivation resources yourself; plenty of people will deliver them to your door.

But even the most skilled cook can't cook without rice. The Great Refining Technique is powerful enough, but Zhou Tong doesn't have the right materials right now.

"It's not that there aren't any!"

As Zhou Tong stared at the ground in thought, he realized that there were suitable materials right here, and they were top-quality materials at that.

Red mixed copper mother is an F9 grade metal material, corresponding to the immortal level, and immortal powerhouses are already at the top of the pyramid in the universe.

The Meteorite Starship created with it can cut through planets, and even a fragment can become Luo Feng's trump card in the early stages.

It can be used to forge weapons, enough for Zhou Tong to use for a long time in the early stages.

Zhou Tong immediately activated the Gate of Truth Alchemy to attempt to analyze and refine the Red Mixed Copper Mother.

Although there was a readily available fragment of the Red Mixed Copper Mother, Luo Feng had already obtained it, and Zhou Tong had no intention of taking it. Therefore, he could only rely on himself to the end.

Fortunately, the external aid is very powerful. With the help of the Chaos Primal Embryo, the Gate of Truth's level is comparable to the primordial universe. Analyzing mere F-grade metal is still a simple matter, although it is quite labor-intensive.

Zhou Tong felt his genetic energy being depleted in less than a minute, and he was both amused and exasperated.

Unexpectedly, he himself was the one who dragged the team down.

Fortunately, Zhou Tong has no shortage of perseverance, which he can use to cultivate the Great Devouring Technique.

As for resources, let's make do with the surrounding soil and rock layers for now.

And so, Zhou Tong continued to analyze the red-mixed copper mother material intermittently.

This alerted Babata inside the Meteorite Starship, who realized that Zhou Tong was damaging the ship's body. She was so shocked that she almost went berserk.

Inside the spaceship.

Babata was telling Luo Feng about the great achievements of her master and the Meteorite Star lineage.

Unexpectedly, the damage alarm that had not been triggered for tens of thousands of years suddenly sounded.

This gave Babata a huge fright.

The surveillance footage showed that last week, Babata used methods he couldn't understand at all, causing the mass of the ship's metal to decrease by an extremely small amount over time.

"He...he...merely a planetary level! How is that possible??? That's the Crimson Copper Mother! Even immortals would have a hard time achieving that???"

In his shock, Babata subconsciously did some calculations.

At the current rate of mass decay, if it doesn't change, the Meteorite Star will be reduced to a pile of dust in about 10 years.

Unfortunately, Babata couldn't understand Zhou Tong's methods, nor did he know what the Three Thousand Great Daos were; otherwise, he wouldn't have calculated such a ridiculous time.

Although Zhou Tong caused negligible damage to the Meteorite Starship, the Meteorite Starship was essentially Babata's body, and also the obsession and longing that Babata had maintained for tens of thousands of years.

Now that Zhou Tong has managed to damage the Meteorite Starship, no matter the reason, Babata cannot sit idly by.

She even considered killing Zhou Tong if the Meteorite Starship hadn't been completely immobilized.

Seeing that the Meteorite Star was issuing an alarm every minute, Babata lost interest in continuing his introduction.

The most important thing now is to quickly recruit Luo Feng into our master's fold, and then go out and put away the Meteorite Starship to prevent Zhou Tong from causing any more trouble.

We'll have plenty of time to tell Luo Feng the rest later.

"Luo Feng! Become my disciple!"

Luo Feng was listening intently, but he was completely bewildered by Babata's inexplicable series of actions.

"Did Babata get infected with the virus?" Luo Feng was pondering this when he heard Babata ask him to become his disciple.

Before entering, Luo Feng remembered Zhou Tong telling him that as long as Babata recognized him, he could obtain the inheritance of an immortal-level powerhouse.

"So Babata's approval means he'll have to take a corpse as his master?"

Luo Feng saw that Babata was staring at him. Recalling the story of Huyanbo that Babata had just told him, he no longer hesitated and knelt down to bow and kowtow three times to Huyanbo's corpse.

Babata looked at Luo Feng, who was performing the ritual of bowing to his master, and said in a deep voice, "Normally, when a master accepts a personal disciple, he would invite many friends to hold a grand banquet to celebrate. Unfortunately, Meteorite Star was destroyed, and the master is dead..."

After bowing, Luo Feng stood up and looked at Babata: "Now I am Teacher Huyanbo's disciple?"

Babata nodded heavily: "That's right! From today onwards, Luo Feng, you are Master Huyanbo's fifth personal disciple, and also the only surviving last disciple."

Nodding, Luo Feng was about to ask how Hu Yanbo died.

Unexpectedly, Babata didn't give him a chance. He flew straight to a device, took out a ring from it, and tossed it to him.

"This is a spatial ring, used to store items. You can use it once you infuse it with your mental energy and complete the authentication process."

Luo Feng curiously examined the spatial ring, while simultaneously attempting to infuse it with his mental energy.

A moment later, Luo Feng saw an incredibly vast and strange space through his mental power.

"That's amazing!"

Luo Feng, who was putting on the spatial ring and sighing, sensed that Babata was throwing something at him again. He immediately withdrew the mental energy from the spatial ring and caught the flying plate.

"Arc-blade disc! A telekinetic weapon! You can throw away all that junk you have."

After casually mentioning the plate in Luo Feng's hand, Babata took out a box, flew over to Luo Feng, and put it down.

"There are 289 Wood Crystals in this box. Use them to cultivate until you break through to the Hengxing level."

Luo Feng put away the curved blade disc, opened the box, picked up a white crystal that smelled of rice, and immediately exclaimed in amazement, recalling what Zhou Tong had told him.

"There are only about fifty councilors on the entire Earth. If these Muya Crystals were placed on Earth, it would be enough to increase the number of councilor-level powerhouses sixfold. That's terrifying!"
