Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 57 Before leaving

Chapter 57 Before leaving
Taiyue Star, an interstellar docking port.

Qi Yuan waited a while after arriving here.

Before long, a dark blue, disc-shaped spaceship bearing the logo of Virtual Universe Company sailed into the port berth.

"Wow~"

The spaceship hatch opened, and three men and women dressed in black combat suits appeared at the hatch.

With just one glance, the woman in the lead among the three locked onto Qi Yuan's location.

A string of data that only she could see flashed rapidly across the black glasses she was wearing.

"Identity confirmed, delivery ready."

Her slightly cold voice rang in Qi Yuan's ears, "Mr. Qi Yuan, please enter the spaceship to verify the cargo and complete the handover."

"it is good."

Qi Yuan moved swiftly and entered the dark blue spaceship where the three of them were.

Instantly, his gaze was drawn to the dark blue rectangular 'nutrient tank' in the center of the spaceship's main cabin.

The entire nutrient chamber is 21.6 meters long and 8.3 meters wide. It is mainly dark blue, and the metal surface of the nutrient chamber is decorated with many complex patterns, as well as a few simple buttons.

The E-level nutrient capsule is considered the most advanced nutrient capsule among the human race in the vast universe.

The purchase price of the nutrient capsule alone reached 8600 billion cosmic coins, equivalent to three or four cheap and desolate star systems!
The accompanying nutrient solution is also incredibly expensive; the price of one ton of nutrient solution is enough to buy hundreds of cosmic-level slaves!
After quickly checking the item information with the aid of the nutrition capsule's intelligent system, Qi Yuan readily completed the handover with the delivery personnel from the Virtual Universe Company.

"Thank you everyone, I'll be leaving now."

He stored the entire nutrient capsule in his storage space, then nodded slightly to the three of them before quickly leaving.

Click~
The dark blue spaceship's hatch closed, and it quickly sped into outer space.

However, the three virtual universe delivery personnel in the spaceship had somewhat complicated expressions.

"I thought it was something purchased by some world lord, but it turns out to be something from a first-order universe-level being."

A black-armored man resembling a chimpanzee looked utterly dejected. "An E-grade nutrient capsule is more expensive than the entire fortune of most domain lords. How could a cosmic-level being afford it?"

"Comparing people is truly infuriating!" Another man in black armor beside him nodded silently.

"Perhaps he is the pampered disciple of some super powerful family or a super strong person."

The woman in the lead said coldly, "Alright, enough nonsense. Be careful not to gossip about leaking customer information behind their backs, or you'll be fired by the company. Don't blame me for not warning you."

"Yes, team leader!"

Both men in black armor responded respectfully.

Iron Army City, a secluded courtyard.

Nearly two months later, Qi Yuan finally returned to his residence on Taiyue Star.

"teacher!"

The moment the door opened, a figure as swift as the wind rushed to his front.

The figure was dressed in a close-fitting silver-white battle suit. She was petite but full of power. Her purple hair was tied into small braids, and her face was covered with mysterious purple patterns, making her look extremely wild.

The figure was none other than Qi Yuan's second disciple, Liao Li.

"Oh, you've broken through to the fourth level of the Stellar Realm? It seems you haven't been slacking off in your cultivation lately."

Upon seeing Liao Li, Qi Yuan couldn't help but nod in satisfaction.

He did not bring this disciple with him on this trip to the secret realm ruins.

Firstly, Liao Li is not a member of any of the major powers, so even if she went, she might not be able to get in.

Secondly, Qi Yuan leaving him alone on Taiyue Star also subtly meant to test him.

After all, the disciple was bought from the slave market, so there was no deep emotional foundation between the master and disciple.

Qi Yuan wanted to see if she would try to escape after she was no longer under his control.

It seems that this disciple has passed his initial test.

"Come with me, your master has a gift for you." Qi Yuan called out and walked towards his usual cultivation room.

"is teacher."

Liao Li's eyes lit up, and he followed closely behind.

Although it is a remote courtyard, the entire courtyard is over 100 meters long and wide, and the rooms used for cultivation are extremely spacious.

However, when Qi Yuan took out the newly received E-level nutrient capsule, the entire room instantly became cramped.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Liao Li stared blankly at the 'big thing' that the teacher suddenly pulled out.

"Hehe, this is a treasure."

Qi Yuan explained with a smile, "The E-level nutrient capsule was developed by the Virtual Universe Company, the most powerful force among humankind. When a stellar-level cultivator enters it and uses the accompanying nutrient solution, their strength can be raised to the peak of the ninth rank of the stellar level in a very short time!"

"Ah, just by lying inside, you can directly reach the peak of the ninth level of the Stellar Realm?"

Liao Li's eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

In her view, isn't cultivation always a step-by-step process?

Since she began practicing under Qi Yuan's guidance, she has often received valuable resources from this teacher.

Even so, it took nearly two years to advance from the second tier of the stellar class to the fourth tier.

Moreover, as one's cultivation level increases, the rate of improvement will become even slower.

However, according to the teacher, using this nutrient capsule means that one doesn't need to exert effort to cultivate; simply lying inside and absorbing the nutrient solution will allow one to advance all the way to the peak of the ninth level of the Stellar level!
This is just too amazing!
The civilization of the planet from which Liao Li originated was extremely backward, and upon first hearing of such a magical treasure, he was instantly awestruck.

"Teacher, this, this nutrient capsule, it must be very precious, right?" Liao Li asked in a slightly nervous voice.

"That's right, it's extremely precious."

Qi Yuan's tone also became extremely solemn:
"This nutrient tank is priceless. You must never tell anyone about it, or you and I, master and disciple, will be in imminent danger of death!"

In fact, if he hadn't had Bumblebee activate a trace of the Heavenly Craft Tower's power to set up a concealment array to isolate detection the moment he returned to the courtyard, he wouldn't have even dared to take the nutrient capsule out of his spatial ring.

After all, Taiyue Star is the territory of a domain lord-level powerhouse, and there's no guarantee that the other party might have some secret reconnaissance methods.

However, according to Qi Yuan's plan, he might soon no longer need to worry about such issues.
"Put this nutrient capsule away properly and get ready. We might be leaving Taiyue Star in the next couple of days," Qi Yuan said softly.

"Leave Mount Taiyue?"

Liao Li was slightly puzzled, but didn't think much of it.

For her, her relatives and clansmen had all perished in that past disaster, and she didn't even know who her enemies were, let alone seek revenge.

Therefore, even if she regained her freedom, she had no place to go back to, so she might as well focus on cultivating with her teacher.

After all, his teacher was truly generous to his students!

Thinking it over, she bowed down to Qi Yuan and respectfully kowtowed.

"Thank you, Teacher, for your guidance. I will never forget your kindness!"

"Well, get up."

Qi Yuan smiled and raised his hand to help.

At the same time, the long-absent system notification sound rang out deep within his consciousness.
