Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 94 Gathering
"A real-life gathering?" Qi Yuan was slightly taken aback.

However, after seeing Xing Zhan wink at him, he understood.

It's likely that there were some things they wanted to discuss that were inconvenient to say explicitly in the virtual universe, which is why they made this suggestion.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on his face:

"Lord Xingzhan, I have returned to Red Leaf Star in the Blue Bay Star Region and am ready to depart at any time. Where would be a suitable place to meet? I will come to pay my respects to you all."

"I know about your Red Maple Star, haha, it's been quite lively there lately!"

Xing Zhanlu hesitated for a moment, but finally smiled and made the decision, "How about this, we'll also go to your place and join in the fun, and introduce you to some of our friends while we're there."

"Introduce a friend?"

Qi Yuan's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately laughed, "Haha, then I'd better prepare properly."

"Okay, if you have no problem, let's set the date for a month from now, and I'll bring people over then."

Xing Zhan chuckled and patted Wiggins on the shoulder beside him, "By the way, if you need anything, just tell our God of Wealth. He has plenty of resources under his command for banquet arrangements and supplies!"

"Yes, please let me know if you need any help."

Wiggins smiled and nodded in a very friendly tone.

"Oh?"

Qi Yuan looked at the old fox-man-like Minister of Commerce, and his heart stirred slightly.

The Virtual Universe Corporation controls the economic lifeline of the entire human territory, and the Commerce Department, as the department that manages the company's many massive economic activities, has an unparalleled advantage in trade channels.

"Perhaps we can collaborate with this Director Wiggins to do something later."

Qi Yuan's mind raced, but he put on a very friendly smile: "Then I'll have to trouble Director Wiggins. Let's chat some more later."

“No problem, no problem,” Wiggins nodded with a smile.

Except for special positions such as the Business Investment Department that require employees of the Lanting branch to stay on duty, they do not need to stay in the Cloud Mist Island Palace all the time.

Especially for those like Qi Yuan who belong to the Martial Department, their main tasks are to collect and cultivate geniuses, manage the many martial artists under their command, and so on. In addition, they also need to cultivate themselves, so they often need to be active outside.

Therefore, Qi Yuan only stayed in his brand-new 'office' for less than half a day, and after getting familiar with his work, he quietly 'skipped over'.

Anyway, since Saji was his deputy to handle most routine matters, he was happy to be a hands-off manager.

In the main hall of Red Leaf Star, Qi Yuan summoned several disciples, Samonka, and elders of the Nana Witch Clan to his presence.

“Mr. Samonka, please use the resources of your construction team to help me renovate this palace, at least ten times larger, so that the main hall can accommodate tens of thousands of people for banquets at the same time without feeling crowded at all.”

Qi Yuan smiled and instructed Samonka, "Also, build more residences around the sacred mountain where the main hall is located. They should be of higher standard and in a better environment. In addition, build another 500 residences for me using C9 grade alloy, following the style of the previous Wonderful Pavilions. All of these should be completed within half a month."

“Understood, Mr. Qi Yuan, I will certainly complete it according to your requirements,” Samonka replied respectfully.

When he signed the service contract with Qi Yuan, the other party was still at the Universe level. However, in just a few years, he has transformed into a ninth-level Domain Lord. Naturally, his attitude has become more and more respectful.

"Well, hard work."

Qi Yuan smiled and nodded, but then looked again at his three disciples and the elder.
“Over the next month, a large number of distinguished guests will be arriving on our Red Leaf Star. You should select some clever members from the Witch Clan to help them receive and guide them.”

"Yes, teacher (lord)!"

The group responded respectfully.

"correct."

Qi Yuan thought for a moment, then added with a smile, "Tell them that when they see guests below the cosmic level, they should try to guide them to the Wonderful Pavilion to give it a try."

"is teacher."

The Samonka team's construction department is extremely efficient.

After all, it's just an expansion, not a high-standard renovation.

Moreover, many planets in Qi Yuan's territory are still under construction and renovation, and the Samonka team has stockpiled a large amount of building materials and resources, which are now coming in handy.

In just three days, the temple where Qi Yuan and his disciples lived was expanded.

The entire temple complex expanded from a radius of about one kilometer to tens of kilometers. In addition to a magnificent main hall in the center that could accommodate hundreds of thousands of people, there were also exquisitely designed side halls and independent pavilions.

The exquisite buildings, each with its own unique shape, are arranged in a staggered pattern along the undulating terrain of the black sacred mountain below. Although they are not made of particularly precious materials, they are quite elegant in appearance.

On the third day after the temple expansion was completed, a huge transport ship landed in the ground docking port of Red Leaf Star.

Immediately afterwards, teams of people dressed in uniforms resembling servants carried huge boxes and rushed to the expanded temple.

After a brief conversation with Cang Fan, who was in charge of making contact, the group immediately set up their arrangements in the temple.

Various exquisite designs, decorations, seating arrangements, and platforms were continuously placed and arranged, and soon an extremely grand banquet hall was completed. While Qi Yuan's side was making preparations, in various directions of the Blue Bay Star Region, many people who had received the news had already begun to set off for Red Leaf Star.

Blue Bay Starfield, Fire Chain Galaxy, Emerald Feather Star.

Inside the magnificent, enormous mansion.

"Ancestor, I'm here!"

A girl with two pairs of dreamy, transparent wings on her back and a mark resembling a golden feather between her brows rushed into a bright hall in the mansion like a gust of wind.

At this time, more than a dozen people had gathered in the hall.

Among these people, some had an extremely similar appearance to the girl and were clearly from the same clan, while there were also many people with different appearances.

However, without exception, all of these people were only at the stellar or even planetary level.

"Ninth Sister is here!"

"Ninth Miss!"

"Sister."

Upon seeing the girl's arrival, more than a dozen young people, all at the stellar or planetary level, greeted her.

"Good, good, everyone is well!"

The girl giggled at everyone, but then looked up at the only person sitting in the hall—a middle-aged man in a silver robe with white hair. "Hehe, Ancestor, what brings you here?"

"No manners at all! What, can't I call you if there's nothing wrong?"

Although the middle-aged man in the silver robe sounded like he was scolding someone, the doting tone in his voice was obvious.

The middle-aged man in the silver robe was named Dillon Stuart, the current ruler of an ancient world-master family in the Blue Bay Starfield.

The Stuart family has existed for over 100,000 epochs, and throughout this time, there have always been members of the Stuart family at the level of a Realm Lord, without interruption.

Through generations of inheritance, although no immortals have ever emerged from the family, the Stuart family has accumulated a great deal of wealth through the hard work and accumulation of hundreds of predecessors at the realm master level.

Even in the entire Blue Bay Starfield, the Stuart family is definitely one of the top family powers.

However, in the last tens of millions of years, the Stuart family has shown signs of declining from its peak.

The current head of the family, and the only World Lord-level powerhouse, Dillon Stuart, has a lifespan of over nine million years. However, no new member of the family has yet emerged who is expected to break through to the World Lord level.

The few clansmen who were only at the Domain Lord level had very ordinary aptitudes, making it impossible for him to see any possibility of them breaking through to the Realm Lord level.

Normally, the lifespan of a realm lord is ten million years, which means that Dillon Stuart only has less than a million years to live.

If no new world lord emerges in the family within these million years, the entire Stuart family will likely face annihilation in an instant once he falls.

After all, the Stuart family has accumulated an astonishing amount of wealth through more than a hundred generations of world lords.

Without a sufficiently strong military deterrent, this enormous wealth would likely be like a piece of fat meat exuding a strong stench of blood, soon attracting packs of hungry wolves to tear it apart and devour it.

"There are less than a million years left, just enough time for a generation to grow up. Fortunately, this generation has produced a girl named Jiu. I hope she won't let me down."

He looked at the dozen or so young juniors in front of him, including the winged girl. Among them were direct descendants of the Stuart family and several carefully selected outstanding disciples.

He composed himself, smiled at the dozen or so young people, and spoke:
"Get ready, you'll be coming with me to an important banquet tomorrow."

Another powerful realm master family in the Blue Bay Starfield is the 'Snowstorm Family'.

Unlike the Stuart family, the Xue Lan family is a newly emerging world-leading family that has emerged in the last tens of millions of years.

However, the Xue Lan family is no less powerful than the current Stuart family, because the Xue Lan family currently has three World Lords at the same time!
Besides an ancestor at the ninth level of the Realm Lord level, there are also two young clansmen who have just broken through to the first level of the Realm Lord level. These two first-level Realm Lords have a lifespan of just over a million years and still have plenty of time to cultivate and become stronger to protect the clan.

Today, in the ancestral homeland of the Xue Lan family, a scene similar to that of the Stuart family is unfolding.

Nearly twenty young men and women of stellar and planetary levels were gathered in a hall, waiting for the three 'patriarchs' seated in the hall to give them instructions.

Just then, a burly young man with black hair and a hideous scar about ten centimeters long walked in.

Logically speaking, with the world's advanced technology and martial arts, such a facial scar could be easily removed. However, this burly young man chose to keep it, and the reason for this remains unknown.

"Why is he here?"

Upon seeing the black-haired youth enter, the other young people in the hall all revealed somewhat strange expressions in their eyes.

However, no one dared to say anything casually.

However, a domineering middle-aged man in black robes, who was seated, laughed loudly when he saw the young man enter:
"Feng'er is here? Haha, now everyone's here, let's set off together!"

There's one more chapter, a little later. Those who go to bed early can read it tomorrow.
