Star Odyssey

der defense for so many years.
Also, I didn’t ask for anything more, which means that twenty million star essence is the limit of what he’s capable of giving with his authority.
Do you really think that he’d just give me as many as I ask for? For someone to be given the position of commander of the border warfront, he must have a great deal of self discipline.” 

“Going from one million to twenty million is still too much of a jump,” the monkey commented.

Lu Yin looked at Elder Daggs; was twenty million star essence an exaggerated amount to this elder? Not at all—it was simply what was within his authority. 

The planet’s sea of star essence receded as an unimaginable amount was swept into Lu Yin’s cosmic ring, but the movement quickly ended.

At this time, when Lu Yin put his cosmic ring back on, he felt that it was much heavier than before.

He was truly no longer poor, and in the current Outerverse, there should be nobody wealthier than him.
Perhaps he should go to Millions City’s Qiong family and conduct a comparison of their assets. 

Hehe, low profile, I should keep a low profile. He had to maintain a low profile, so he could forget about comparing his wealth to the Qiong family’s.
Millions City had accumulated its funds over countless years, and the amount that they possessed had to be an absolutely astronomical amount.
Without even considering anything else, each shot of the mobile fortress’s cannon consumed countless star essence, or in other words, Millions City practically fought by burning money.
Even Lu Yin felt that such an expenditure level was a bit much. 

“Alliance Leader Lu, it’s no longer early.
Shall we head out?” Elder Daggs asked courteously.

Lu Yin smiled.
“Does Elder have something that you need to do? If that’s the case, then please go on ahead.
There’s no need to entertain me, as I simply wish to roam around a bit.” 

Elder Daggs was stumped for a moment, but then he hurriedly countered, “There’s no need to be concerned.
Since Alliance Leader Lu wants to explore, then allow me to lead the way.
This way, please.” 

The elder did not dare to leave, not even if he was beaten to death.
He had thought things through and was now willing to express his goodwill towards Lu Yin since he might be able to return to the Neoverse with this youth’s influence.
However, he was still the border warfront’s top commander, and he would not allow Lu Yin to run amok.
It was still his duty to watch over this youth. 

Lu Yin revealed a faint smile and then flew towards the coastline with Elder Daggs behind him. 

Along the way, Lu Yin saw many resources on the warehouse planet.
Not only did he see ores and herbal medications, but he also saw many strange items. 

When it came to different cultivation systems in the universe, star energy was the most prevalent system by far, but there were also other cultivation systems that focused on other forms of energy.
For example, on Shenwu Continent, cultivating required martial crystals.
The Sixth Mainland also had its own method, such as cultivating a bloodline.
There were simply too many different ways to cultivate, and those myriad methods had led to many of these strange items being placed there. 

The overwhelming amount of resources that Lu Yin had originally believed to be on this planet simply did not exist, as he could not even use many of the items he saw.

Elder Daggs stayed beside Lu Yin, and the elder would occasionally explain which resources came from which civilization, and what effects they might have.
This allowed Lu Yin to broaden his horizons despite the fact that these various cultivation methods could not compare to what he had personally achieved. 

The planet was quite small, and circling it once would not take much time.
Elder Daggs did not try to hurry Lu Yin, as he was afraid that this youth might be the type of person who would go slower the more they were hurried.

Fortunately, there were too many items in this place, which meant that Lu Yin could not easily pick out the best ones.

At that moment, Lu Yin suddenly descended into a green forest as Elder Daggs watched on.
The older man secretly had a bad feeling about Lu Yin’s movement, and he exclaimed, “Alliance Leader Lu, there’s nothing in this place.
It’s just a pile of some metals.”

Lu Yin smiled and then stomped down with a foot, causing the ground to split open.
Countless ores were revealed beneath the surface, and they were of all sorts of metals.
There were also many other materials that Lu Yin could not even recognize.
However, there was no need for him to recognize anything, as his target was a specific item hidden beneath all of the ore. 

There was a thumping sound, and Elder Daggs’s expression suddenly changed.
He moved forward and hurriedly tried to stop Lu Yin’s actions.
“Alliance Leader Lu, what are you trying to do?”

But Lu Yin had already pulled out something from underground.
It was a tattered-looking metallic right arm.
It was quite massive, and it was around two meters long in total.
It also looked very ancient with marks of corrosion from the passage of time on it. 

“Elder, what is this?” Lu Yin asked. 

Elder Daggs smiled bitterly.
“Alliance Leader Lu, how did you notice this item?”

Lu Yin answered with interest in his voice.
“I have my own ways.
Elder, this item should be able to injure an Enlighter.” 

Elder Daggs exclaimed, “I truly admire Alliance Leader Lu’s methods, as you are quite right.
This arm came from an ancient race that has long since disappeared.
They were adept at manufacturing methods and were very technologically advanced.
This metal arm was something that they made, but unfortunately, it’s just one component.
It was left here with the intention of it being a reward for those with the proper contributions.”

Lu Yin waved the arm about, noticing that it was a bit heavier than it looked.
He had discovered this thing due to the fact that its rune lines surpassed a power level of 200,000, which was quite interesting. 

He exerted a slight bit of force but found that he could not crush the arm.
Lu Yin was astonished.
“Elder, I can use this item.” 

Elder Daggs’s expression changed, and his voice grew hoarse.
“Alliance Leader Lu, please stop joking around.
This arm is so large, so how could you conveniently use it?”

Lu Yin’s lips curled up.
“It is convenient, look!”

He then put his own right arm into the end of the metal arm and used star energy to create a connecting joint that allowed him to smoothly manipulate the arm.
Now, when he clenched his fist or waved his hand, the arm copied his motions. 

Elder Daggs’ smile was bitter.
“Alliance Leader Lu, I’ve already given you twenty million star essence, which is the furthest I can press my authority.
Due to this, other items truly cannot be given to you.” 

Lu Yin replied, “I can take less star essence.”

He then decisively tossed away a hundred thousand star essence.
“That should be enough.”

Elder Daggs sighed, as he knew that Lu Yin was determined to have this arm.

Lu Yin glanced over at Elder Daggs.
“Items are dead while humans are alive.”

Elder Daggs sighed to himself again.
“Alright, since Alliance Leader Lu likes it so much, I’ll make the decision to give it to you, and you can also take back your star essence.”

Lu Yin gave the man a slight smile.
“There’s no hurry.
Let’s keep browsing.”
