Swallowing the Stars: Ten Thousand Times Return for Taking on Disciples

Chapter 104 Returning the Hundred-Leaf Leaf, the Realm Lord's Star-Eating Grass

Fenglei Island, Lu Qingshan's villa.

Looking at his two disciples who had already broken through to the cosmic level, Lu Qingshan showed a satisfied smile.

"Indeed, both of you have broken through to the cosmic level. In a primary cosmic nation, you would already be considered a powerful figure."

"I have to thank the teacher for his help."

Lei Ming and Paris spoke at the same time.

They know perfectly well why they have come this far. If they hadn't had their teacher's help, they would probably still be waiting at the Qianwu Dojo for the qualification to enter the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Lei Ming was particularly moved. Fifty years ago, he was just a boy who had set foot on Maple Leaf Star. It was his teacher who guided him step by step, giving him resources that others could only dream of, which enabled him to have the strength he has today.

Cosmic level!

Back then, Elder Lu, whom he admired most on Eagle Star, was only a ninth-level Stellar.

Elder Lu was once his goal in cultivation, but now, he can easily suppress a hundred beings like Elder Lu with a flick of his wrist.

“You are my disciples, so I will naturally take care of you. Especially Lei Ming, you have spent most of your life by my side. I am a little worried about your safety if you leave to venture out on your own.”

"Teacher, don't worry, Lei Ming will be careful after he goes out and won't do anything he's not sure he can do."

Lei Ming made a serious promise.

“Hehe…” Lu Qingshan just smiled, then he took out the life fruit he had just bought from the public area.

"Teacher, this is so precious!"

Lei Ming and Paris both took a breath.

They certainly know what this is.

When the teacher took out this treasure in front of them, they had no idea what he was going to do.

This scene has happened countless times over the years, but this time, the gift the teacher gave them was the most precious.

Paris was born into the Blade Clan and, having been raised by them, his knowledge and experience far surpassed that of Thunder.

He was fully aware of the value of the Fruit of Life; even a Realm Lord would dream of obtaining it… In their Blade Clan, even an immortal descendant could not receive it unless they had made an extraordinary contribution.

"No need for further words. Each of you will receive five of these items. After taking them back, immediately cultivate your Cloud Vine. You must cultivate your Cloud Vine to the level of a Domain Lord before you are allowed to venture out."

"is teacher."

The two dared not say anything more, and could only bow respectfully and accept Lu Qingshan's gift.

“Cultivating the Moyun Vine, even with the use of the Fruit of Life, will take at least a year. During this year, Lei Ming, if you have any questions about cultivating the fundamental laws of lightning, you can come to me anytime. I will guide you whenever I have time. Paris, study the law runes on the Purple Jade Profound Lightning Crystal carefully. Logically speaking, your talent is better than Lei Ming's. It's not a problem if you are behind in the initial laws for a while, but you must catch up as soon as possible.”

"Disciple understands. Disciple will strive to master the fundamental laws of lightning within a year and not disappoint Master!"

Paris looked somewhat ashamed.

He had been ahead of Lei Ming before, but unexpectedly, he was overtaken by a bend in the genius battle and is now far behind.

"Go back and nurture your plant life. Also, don't forget to report your adventures to the secret realm administrator."

Going out to explore is not the same as leaving the secret realm; they are still cosmic-level members of the Qianwu Secret Realm.

The Qianwu Secret Realm is vast and boundless. Stellar-level geniuses occupy only a small part of it, while there are also many cosmic-level and domain lord-level geniuses!
As for realm master geniuses, they are extremely rare. Occasionally one or two will appear, and they will be recommended to the virtual universe company's apocalyptic secret realm, where there are tens of millions of realm masters, many of whom came to be in this way.

After his two disciples left, Lu Qingshan checked his gains.

He bought the Fruit of Life and a laser gun from the Eighteenth Prince's shop, and planned to give them the laser gun before they left in order to maximize his rebate.

[You have bestowed upon your disciple Lei Ming 5 Life Fruits, receiving a 100-fold return; you have also received 5 Hundred-Leaf Leaves.]

[You bestowed five Life Fruits upon your disciple Paris, receiving a hundredfold return; you also received five Hundred-Leaf Leaves.]

Bai Luo Ye?
What is this?
It was yet another treasure he had never heard of before, so Lu Qingshan asked Nasus to investigate.

[The Hundred-Leaf Leaf originates from a secret realm in the universe. It has a very powerful effect on the evolution of plant life and can also repair the injuries of immortal gods and accelerate the recovery speed of their bodies. The price is approximately 500 Chaos Units per piece.]

"If each piece costs 500 Hunyuan units, then ten pieces would be worth 5000 Hunyuan units?"

Even though Lu Qingshan wasn't short of money, the 5000 mixed units still surprised him greatly.

Even the poorest immortal gods don't have that many cosmic coins.

5000 Mixed Yuan Units! You have to understand that twenty years ago, Lu Qingshan was still worried about getting 10 Mixed Yuan Units to upgrade his bank's level. In just twenty years, his wealth has increased exponentially.

This is merely a cosmic-level return. If Lei Ming and Paris were to break through to the level of Domain Lord or World Lord in the future…

Lu Qingshan was in a good mood.

It seems that besides the World Lord level, we need to get Lei Ming and Paris to break through as soon as possible... There's no need to linger at lower levels... The World Lord stage is the most important time.

As their strength increases, the scope of what they can bestow will expand. For example, the Fruit of Life was previously not recognized at the ninth level of the Stellar Realm.

"Nasus, does this Hundred-Leaf Leaf have any effect on the evolution of the Star-Eating Grass?"

Lu Qingshan inquired.

The evolution of Star-Eating Grass seemed to have stagnated, and the appearance of this Hundred-Leaf Leaf was very timely.

“Master, the Hundred-Leaf Leaf has an effect on any plant life. Ten Hundred-Leaf Leaves have a 70% chance of making the Star-Eating Grass evolve again... To achieve a 100% success rate, you would probably need at least twenty leaves.”

"A 70% probability is already pretty good. Where am I supposed to get the remaining ten pieces?"

Lu Qingshan searched and found that these Hundred-Leaf Leaves were extremely rare, with only one or two appearing occasionally at mid-level auctions.

This thing seems to be a monopolized product. The 500 Chaos Units that Nasus just mentioned were the exchange price within the Qianwu Universe. If it were auctioned, the price would probably double.

"Over the years, the Star-Eating Grass has almost devoured all of the Obsidian Mother, and it's on the verge of evolution. Let's give it a push."

The next second, Lu Qingshan entered his own inner world.

The Star-Eating Grass has consumed too many ores and Locke's Divine Water, and is now in a semi-conscious state, which is a sign that it is about to evolve.

"Star Eater... These ten leaves will be useful to you."

With a wave of his hand, Lu Qingshan sent ten Hundred-Leaf Petals into the air above the Star-Eating Grass. Although the Star-Eating Grass was weak, it still stretched out its vines to wrap the Hundred-Leaf Petals into its body.

Not long after...

The previously drowsy Star-Eating Grass suddenly became active, and its vines began to change visibly.

The vines, originally only a hundred meters thick, began to grow larger and thicker, quickly reaching a diameter of a thousand meters. They began to spread outwards from within the inner world, crossing valleys and rivers, and coiling around mountain peaks. With just a slight exertion, the Star-Eating Grass vines caused the mountains created by Lu Qingshan to crumble instantly, countless fragments of rock tumbling down…

This is the strangulation technique of the Star-Eating Grass. Like countless giant vines, it can tighten its grip on its target as soon as it gets entangled, eventually strangling it to death. If it encounters a stronger target, it can also trap it and prevent it from escaping.

The Star-Eating Grass did not wreak havoc within Lu Qingshan's inner world; it was only due to the sudden increase in its strength that it was unable to completely contain its power.

"Bloom, Star Eater..."

Lu Qingshan stood above the world within his body, gazing at the beautiful scenery.

The perfectly blooming Star-Eating Grass is simply the most beautiful plant in the world.

The Star-Eating Grass continued to evolve, and new vines began to sprout from its roots. The remaining Locke Divine Water was being continuously absorbed by it, and it was about to be completely consumed, just like the Obsidian Mother.

73 Vine……

A brand new vine sprouted and quickly grew to several kilometers in length.

74!

75!

……

The evolution lasted for more than three months. Lu Qingshan observed from the air, silently watching the changes in the Star-Eating Grass, which had grown from 72 vines to 108 vines...

His strength also broke through from the ninth level of Domain Lord, successfully becoming the first level of World Lord...

The feeling of being connected by blood allowed Lu Qingshan to clearly sense the excitement of the Star-Eating Grass!
Star-eating Grass with 108 vines.

If all the vines were fully extended, even an immortal military lord like Khun Sa Luo could be trapped for a short time.

If one's strength is raised to the ninth level of the Realm Lord, there will be a tremendous change in strength.

Star-eating grass is great in every way, except for one thing: it's too expensive.

Excluding everything else, Lu Qingshan calculated that this evolution alone cost more than 10,000 Mixed Yuan Units.

This was just the most basic plan, and there was a certain probability that it would not succeed. Fortunately, the Star-Eating Grass was quite effective and did not disappoint him.

If the perfect solution is followed, the consumption will be even more astonishing.

To cultivate the Star-Eating Grass to the peak of the ninth level of the Realm Lord, an astronomical number is required!
