Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 021: Battle Suit

The first shop that Verus led Lu Qingshan into was called Treasure Pavilion, located near the Golden Lion Empire's government office. It occupied a vast area and was divided into various sections, where many rare and precious treasures were for sale, each with an astonishing price.

In Zishui City, where land is incredibly valuable, it would be impossible to open a shop like this without a powerful background.

"Brother Aoyama!"

As Verus led Lu Qingshan into the Treasure Pavilion, he introduced it, saying, "This Treasure Pavilion is said to have been founded by a super family of the Golden Lion Empire, whose strength even surpasses that of the royal family of my Purple River Empire. The Treasure Pavilion is also scattered across hundreds of star systems!"

"The treasures here are slightly more expensive than in other shops, but the quality is absolutely guaranteed! If you need any treasures, you can buy them here!"

"Thank you for your guidance, Brother Verus!" Lu Qingshan quickly said.

Just then, upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his companion enter the shop, a beautiful female server at the ninth level of the Planetary Realm quickly ran over: "Esteemed guests, how may I help you?"

"Let's just wander around for a bit!" Verus quickly said.

"OK!"

Upon hearing Verus's words, the beautiful waitress responded sweetly and then quietly followed behind Lu Qingshan and Verus.

"Brother Qingshan, I think you need to buy a new battle suit!"

Upon arriving at the combat suit area, Verus quickly spoke, "Force suits provide excellent defense. Strong individuals generally purchase combat suits for protection. Wearing a Force suit underneath and an alloy suit on top gives you a significant advantage in battles against opponents of similar strength!"

"For example, right now I'm wearing a Tier 2 Force suit and a C2-grade alloy suit!"

"Brother Qingshan, although you're currently only at the planetary level, you'll probably break through to the constant level soon. So I suggest you just buy a Tier 2 Force Armor and then equip it with a Grade C Alloy Armor!"

"good!"

After hearing Verus's words, Lu Qingshan quickly said to the beautiful waitress behind him, "Hello, please prepare a Tier 2 Yellow Dragon Battle Suit and a set of C2-grade alloy battle armor for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

Hearing that Lu Qingshan, a planetary-level expert, had bought a second-tier Force Armor without batting an eye, the beautiful waitresses following behind them were slightly taken aback.

It should be noted that second-tier Force suits are extremely precious, and even many star-level powerhouses cannot afford them.

Seeing that Lu Qingshan had taken his advice, Verus's smile widened, and he continued, "C-grade alloy armor is relatively cheap, but if it's replaced with a Tier 3 Force Armor, it will be much more expensive, even exceeding the price of a Tier 3 high-grade psychic weapon, costing a staggering 150 billion gold lion coins!"

"However, the defensive capabilities of a Force suit are closely related to the Force level of its wearer. Even if a Star-level martial artist wears a Tier 3 Force suit, its defensive capabilities are not much stronger than those of a Tier 2 Force suit!"

"What's truly precious are the battle suits formed by supporting metallic or plant life forms! They don't need their masters to provide Force; they can offer powerful defense simply by relying on their own strength!"

"However, these support life forms are not only expensive, but also require a lot of resources to cultivate. For most people, their cost-effectiveness is far inferior to that of a Force suit of the same level!"

"Only the incredibly wealthy and powerful can afford battle suits formed to support metallic or plant life forms!"

"Just like the battle armor that our ancestor wore was formed from the advanced auxiliary plant life form, the Moyun Vine. It cost hundreds of billions of gold lion coins just to buy the Moyun Vine seedlings. Later, our ancestor spent a lot of the family's resources to cultivate it. I heard that it took more than six thousand years to cultivate the Moyun Vine to break through to the cosmic level!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan was filled with endless emotion.

This is the real universe!

The starting points for characters like Luo Feng in the original work, and even Hong and Thor, can be described as incredibly simple.

For example, in the original novel, Luo Feng was given a Moyun Vine as soon as he became Hu Yanbo's disciple. Babata even fed that Moyun Vine a strange fruit that was comparable to a fragment of the Red Mixed Copper Mother.

Although Hong's circumstances were rather unfortunate, he still obtained a Cloud Vine, a spatial ring with a huge capacity, and many other treasures on Earth.

Compared to the three Luo brothers, let alone Lu Qingshan now, even if his teacher Kano had all his wealth combined, he might not be able to buy the spatial ring in Hong's hands!

And what about Hong's Moyun Vine?

Even if Mo Yun Teng started consuming the Lan Ke Fruit, which was given to him by Luo Feng, at the Heng Xing stage, it would still take him three years to break through to the third or fourth level of the universe level!

Although Kano had the ability to purchase seedlings of the Cloud Vine, he had no ability to purchase the Lan Ke Fruit. Therefore, he could only use a large amount of low-level resources and spend a lot of time cultivating the Cloud Vine.

If even Cano struggled to cultivate the Mo Yun Teng, it would be even more difficult for Lu Qingshan now.

Therefore, Lu Qingshan has absolutely no interest in the so-called auxiliary life form. What he needs most right now is to cultivate and improve his strength as much as possible.

Once he becomes powerful enough, cultivating support life forms will be much easier.

Just like his teacher, Cano, he definitely reached the cosmic level and had enough wealth before he started cultivating the Cloud Vine!

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly looked at the beautiful waitress behind him and asked, "Do you have any treasures here that can accelerate the cultivation of planetary-level experts?"

"some!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's words, the beautiful waitress quickly used her auxiliary computer to display dozens of products for Lu Qingshan.

These treasures vary in value, ranging from a few hundred gold lion coins to tens of thousands of gold lion coins.

After browsing through the items, Lu Qingshan quickly turned his attention to the Wood Crystal, which cost 100,000 gold lion coins per piece.

This wooden crystal contains very powerful life energy, which has a very high evolutionary effect on both the soul and the body.

In the original work, Babata was able to evolve into a Beast King in a short period of time by using the Wood Crystal.

A human apprentice at the ninth level can also break through to the first level of the planetary stage after using a Wood Seed Crystal.

Of course, any powerful person who knows the value of the Wood Crystal would never use it to help an apprentice-level martial artist break through.

After all, a ninth-level planetary-level mentalist was sold as a slave for only 100,000 gold lion coins!
