"What is the background of this Genius? Even an Immortal who manages the Starfield region has come to welcome him."
When Jett saw the elephant-man Immortal descend, his eyes were not only astonished, but he also had a bad feeling in his heart.
He had a premonition that the time for him to become a core member of the Ganwu Branch might be delayed.
When he first came here, he was welcomed by the high-ranking officials of the entire Azurewood Empire Branch, which gave him a lot of Face.
However, most of this Face was given to the Royce Family; his talent as a Stellar Rank Domain eight-fold Genius had not reached that level.
Because although he was highly valued in the branch Family, in the entire Royce Family, his talent could only be described as decent.
The truly super Geniuses of the Royce Family usually entered the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company through two channels.
First, through Family cultivation, then by passing one of the peerless peaks—Creation, Divine Tempering, or Essence Extraction—at the Universe Level, directly entering the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Core Region.
Second, by becoming a core member of a high-level Universe Country Branch, and then passing an assessment to enter the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Core Region.
As for participating in the Pinnacle Genius Battle and competing with other Geniuses for the qualification to enter the Core Region, the super Geniuses of the Royce Family would not do that.
…
"Greetings, Lord Bonke."
Seeing the burly elephant-man Immortal descend, the high-ranking officials of the Azurewood Empire Branch hurriedly bowed respectfully.
"Hmm."
The elephant-man Immortal, Bonke, his gaze lingered on Jett for a moment, then asked a World Master deacon, "Is the residence ready?"
"It is ready, arranged according to the highest specifications," the World Master deacon replied respectfully.
"Very good."
Bonke nodded slightly, his gray-white elephant trunk also swayed gently, "He won't stay in your Branch for too long, but you still need to teach him diligently, do you understand?"
"We understand."
Several World Masters respectfully answered, but each had their own thoughts.
"He won't stay in our Azurewood Branch for too long, which means that Genius is just passing through our Azurewood Branch and will soon enter the Ganwu Branch."
"To be welcomed by Lord Bonke, this is definitely a super Genius; we must establish a good relationship with him."
"Jett, what a pity. A super Genius who is just passing through has arrived, and the time for him to become a core member of the Ganwu Branch will be delayed."
The World Master deacons muttered in their hearts, but there was no abnormality on their Faces.
"Good that you understand."
Bonke nodded slightly, not caring what the World Masters thought.
"To rush to the Azurewood Branch as quickly as possible, I even used Divine Kingdom teleportation."
Bonke clasped his hands behind his back and thought to himself, "Although the teleportation distance isn't far, the energy consumed to open a temporary spatial passage is roughly worth 2-4 Mixed units."
He had paid real money to give the Genius valued by King Swift Thunder a good impression.
But in his opinion, it was worth it. As long as he established a connection and continued to invest later, he might soar to success in the future.
Of course, super Geniuses also have a chance of falling. Before they grow up, no super Genius can guarantee becoming a true strong person.
In human history, there have been many cases of astonishingly brilliant super Geniuses falling due to assassinations by foreign races.
"I finally invested once, please don't disappoint me…" Bonke secretly thought.
…
Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch.
Here, there was a Spirit Medicine Hall selling rare potions and a Treasure Hall with various weapons and equipment, attracting many Powerhouses from the Azurewood Empire, including Universe Level and Domain Lords.
When they saw the high-ranking officials of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch all turn out, they were all greatly shocked.
What made them even more incredulous was the formidable elephant-man strong person standing at the very front, his eyes like dazzling light that could not be looked at directly, and he exuded a powerful pressure that instilled fear in people's hearts.
"Immortal! That must be the legendary Immortal!"
"It's truly an Immortal. It seems the rumor that an Immortal appears at the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch is true."
"An Immortal, whose lifespan is eternal, appearing here… it seems to be welcoming someone?"
"Who could it be that can make the great Immortal personally welcome them?"
These people were very shocked, but seeing an Immortal present, they dared not linger and watch, fearing to anger the Immortal with eternal life.
So a rather peculiar scene occurred: people entering and exiting the Treasure Hall and Spirit Medicine Hall, when walking on the roads surrounded by flowers, plants, and trees, would often walk as quickly as possible, with no one stopping.
…
Above the bustling street of Red Leaf Star.
Luo Feng and Thor flew side by side, followed by two silver-armored guards.
"Those three tall buildings, that's where the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch is located."
After seeing the three iconic buildings of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch, Luo Feng transmitted, "That's a no-fly zone; you can only walk there from the ground."
After speaking, he led Thor down from the sky, landing on the road full of various flowers, plants, and trees.
"Eh, why are there so many people in front of the Branch building?"
While descending, Luo Feng saw dozens of people gathered in the plaza in front of the building and couldn't help but tease, "Second Brother, they wouldn't be here to welcome you, would they?"
"How could that be?"
Thor smiled and shook his head, "They're probably here to welcome some important figure."
"That's true." Luo Feng nodded upon hearing this.
According to the information he had gathered from the Virtual Universe, an intermediate universe country Branch of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company usually had many World Masters serving as internal deacons.
And among the crowd in front of the building plaza, none of their uniforms were inferior; they were clearly all high-ranking officials of the Azurewood Empire Branch.
Even if Second Brother had good talent, he was still only a Planetary Level Genius after all. It was unlikely that so many Powerhouses would welcome him.
Luo Feng and Thor walked forward, heading towards the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Branch.
The solemn and silent atmosphere around them gradually infected them, forcing them to walk quickly in silence.
"Third Brother, what do we do now?"
Thor asked via transmission, "I see that the leading elephant-man strong person's aura seems to be that of an Immortal."
"An Immortal welcoming someone, who has such a grand presence?" Luo Feng was surprised and a little shocked.
"Compared to who the Immortal is welcoming, I'm more concerned about how to get in."
Thor said with some distress, "Now there are so many Powerhouses in front of the Branch building; I can't just walk past them, can I?"
"How about we wait?"
Luo Feng also felt a bit tricky and could only suggest, "After the person the Immortal is welcoming arrives, then you go in?"
"Probably not; the appointed time won't make it."
Thor sighed, "It wouldn't be good for me to be late for my first time at the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company."
"Indeed."
Luo Feng frowned slightly, then saw a familiar figure among the crowd in the plaza in front of the building, and his eyes lit up, "I'll go ask someone first."
"Ask whom?" Thor was puzzled.
"The person who bought the Thunder Beast; he's a member of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Branch."
As Luo Feng spoke, he contacted Jett using the Virtual Universe number they had exchanged earlier.
On the other side. In front of the building plaza, Jett, standing beside a World Master, initially didn't want to answer Luo Feng's call request.
However, he thought that Luo Feng had an impressive background and might have a chance for future transactions, so he suppressed his inner irritation and accepted the call request in the Virtual Universe.
"You mean, your brother received an invitation from our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company and will become a core member of the Azurewood Empire Branch?"
When Jett heard Luo Feng's question, he was slightly stunned, then asked again, "Are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"
"Of course not." Luo Feng replied.
Jett was silent for a while upon hearing this, then composed himself and slowly said, "No need to wait, you can come directly."
"Why?" Luo Feng asked in surprise, "Aren't you welcoming an important figure?"
"The person we are waiting for is your good brother," Jett replied with a complicated feeling.
He hadn't expected that he would be deprived of his spot by a Planetary Level Genius, delaying his own time to become a core member of the Ganwu Branch.
However, this made him even more certain that Luo Feng's background was extraordinary!
…
Thor, intentionally slowing his pace, walked alongside Luo Feng.
"Third Brother, what's wrong?"
Seeing Luo Feng's expression change repeatedly, Thor quickly asked via transmission, "If you can't reach anyone, then never mind."
"No." Luo Feng shook his head slightly, saying in a somewhat incredulous tone, "Second Brother, the gathering of the Azurewood Empire Branch here is to welcome you!"
"What?!" Thor also found it unbelievable, "You mean, the Immortal descended to welcome me?!"
"Holy cow! Luo Feng, are you serious?"
Babata's astonished voice rang in Luo Feng's mind, "That Immortal descended just to welcome Thor?
"Even if Thor becomes a core member of the Azurewood Empire Branch, he shouldn't have such great Face, that's an Immortal!"
Babata was extremely shocked at this moment. One must know that his master, Hu Yan Bo, when he received invitations from the Universe Mercenary Alliance and the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company, no Immortal appeared.
Even after becoming a World Master, the inviting personnel sent by the Ganwu Dojo were merely ordinary World Masters, but now…
Thinking of this, Babata's blood-red eyes widened, and his molars were almost ground to dust!
"That's right, this is the answer I got from a member of the Royce Family."
Luo Feng ignored Babata and said solemnly to Thor, "Second Brother, let's go now, don't keep the Immortal waiting too long."
"Okay."
Thor immediately quickened his pace, walking with Luo Feng towards the building plaza.
…
Azurewood Empire Branch building plaza.
The burly elephant-man Immortal, Bonke, seeing Thor and Luo Feng walking leisurely together, immediately spoke: "They're here."
"It's actually just Planetary Level."
"Unbelievable! A Planetary Level Genius can actually make Lord Bonke personally welcome him."
"What is the background of this Planetary Level Genius, coming to our Azurewood Branch just for a formality."
Upon hearing this, the high-ranking officials of the Azurewood Branch immediately looked at Thor, who had a bald head and wore a white robe, their eyes filled with surprise.
None other than because Thor was Planetary Level!
One must know that, under normal circumstances, a Genius must at least reach Stellar Rank to determine their talent.
For instance, the Pinnacle Genius Battle held a few years later is the stage for Stellar Rank super Geniuses.
The top 1,000 super Geniuses in the Pinnacle Genius Battle will directly enter the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Core Region.
Note, this is the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Core Region, not just a Branch!
There are also late bloomers, hence the Pinnacle Strong Person Battle, Universe Treasure Refiner, and Potion Refining Competition.
It is truly difficult to discern the talent of a Planetary Level Genius, let alone one who can make an Immortal personally welcome him.
"Thor, welcome to our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Azurewood Empire Branch."
As Luo Feng and Thor approached, the five-meter-tall elephant-man Immortal, Bonke, spoke with a smile, his voice grand yet gentle.
"Greetings, Immortal."
Thor and Luo Feng bowed together.
"No need to be polite. My name is Bonke. I am the Starfield region manager of the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company Ganwu Branch, and the Azurewood Empire Branch is within my jurisdiction."
Bonke smiled gently and looked down at Thor, "King Swift Thunder instructed me to have you lay a good foundation in the Azurewood Empire. Once you Breakthrough to Stellar Rank and comprehend a trace of Law, I will promote you to the Ganwu Branch."
"King Swift Thunder values you greatly. I hope you will not disappoint King Swift Thunder's expectations."
"I will not fail to meet his expectations," Thor nodded respectfully.
Their conversation immediately shocked everyone around. Thor was actually a Genius favored by King Swift Thunder, the authority of the Ganwu Branch.
"King Swift Thunder…" Jett was even more incredibly shocked upon hearing this.
Others might not know, but he knew that King Swift Thunder's identity was extraordinary; it was said that even the Immortal Powerhouses of his Family had to act humbly in front of King Swift Thunder!
"This must be your Family and friend," Bonke's gaze shifted to Luo Feng, his smile still gentle.
"This is my Third Brother, Luo Feng," Thor replied.
"Greetings, Lord Bonke."
Luo Feng, seeing the Immortal's gaze on him, bowed again.
"Very good." Bonke smiled and nodded, then said with a slight apology, "Next is our Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company's internal gathering."
"Second Brother, you go in with Lord Bonke," Luo Feng understood, then said to Thor, "I still have something to do and need to leave."
"Mm." Thor nodded slightly.
"Lord Bonke, I have an urgent matter and need to leave. Please forgive me." Luo Feng bowed to Bonke.
"Understood." Bonke nodded slightly.
Seeing this, Luo Feng glanced at Jett, who was still standing at the very edge of the World Masters, then turned and left.
Thor stood in front of Bonke, watching Luo Feng quickly walk away.
"Let's go."
Bonke waited for a moment, then slowly said, "We should go in."
"Mm."
Upon hearing this, Thor turned his head and watched the high-ranking officials of the Azurewood Empire Branch part, clearing a wide path.
Then, he followed Bonke through this path and walked into the Universe Artifact & Potion Refining Company building.
"I suggest that you and your Third Brother maintain a certain distance. This will be good for both of you."
Bonke led Thor into the building and suddenly transmitted, "No need to answer now. When you reach a certain height in the future, you will understand what I mean."
"You can still help him with some small favors, but you cannot directly intervene. Just let the Powerhouses of the Azurewood Empire Branch handle it, which should be enough to solve most of his troubles."
Bonke reminded, "Also, people develop a dependency. So you cannot help him endlessly; many things he needs to solve himself."
Thor heard this, his eyes showing both confusion and understanding as he nodded.
He understood Luo Feng's personality very well; unless he encountered a danger related to Earth that he couldn't resolve, he would most likely not come to him for help.
However, he was still somewhat confused by Bonke's words about maintaining distance from Luo Feng.
…
On the other side.
In the Void Zone, quite famous in the Milky Way Galaxy, a B-class spaceship was navigating…
