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

Chapter 106 Lingxi's Cash Back, Father-in-Law's Request
Lingxi broke through to the cosmic level, and the rebate finally helped Lu Qingshan.

However, it's unlikely that she'll reciprocate with her experience of the fundamental laws; Lu Qingshan can only pursue cost-effectiveness in terms of material benefits.

Think about it.

Lu Qingshan ultimately chose an "E6" class spaceship from the public area.

For a necessity like a spaceship, the initial gift standard is not low. Back when Ling Yu was only a ninth-tier star, Lu Qingshan was able to gift her an E5-level spaceship.

E6 and E5 may seem like only a small difference, but the price is double that of E6. Lu Qingshan was hoping that this cashback would bring him another E-class mechanical race spaceship...

This will make it easier for me to go out in the future.

"Lingxi, you've broken through to the cosmic stage. You'll definitely be venturing out into the world like your senior brothers Lei Ming and Paris. This spaceship is for you."

"Thank you, teacher."

Lingxi smiled sweetly and, without even looking at the spaceship's class or appearance, quickly accepted it.

However, she secretly complained to herself.

Only cultivation fanatics like my senior brothers and sisters would go out and explore. Even if I went out, it would only be to sample local delicacies.

Of course, she dared not say this aloud; Lingxi was still somewhat shaken after being imprisoned for half a year last time.

If she angered her teacher and forced her to go into seclusion again to break through to the ninth level of the universe, then she would be completely finished.

"Teacher, I'm going to prepare dinner."

"Well, go ahead..."

After Lingxi left, Lu Qingshan checked his gains and then couldn't help but slap his forehead.

The nickname "little good-for-nothing" wasn't just something I made up.

[You gifted your disciple an E6-level spaceship, receiving a 100-fold return; you now receive an E9-level spaceship.]

Lu Qingshan's dream of acquiring another mechanical race spaceship was shattered.

Initially, he only gave Lingyu an E5-level spaceship, but what he returned was an enhanced E-level mechanical race spaceship.

But for Lingxi, he had raised his standards a level higher. He had only hoped to get a regular E-class mechanical ship, but he didn't expect to get a virtual universe E9 ship instead.

While the two are not significantly different in terms of defense and flight speed, the machine race's ship completely outclasses this E9-class ship in terms of attack capabilities and camouflage.

The mechanical race's spaceship was equipped with three planet-destroying cannons and nine E3 laser cannons, while Lu Qingshan's E9 spaceship had none of those planet-destroying cannons, only nine E9 laser cannons...

If they encounter an Immortal, the E-machine race ship can still put up a fight with its Star Destroyer Cannon, but the E9 ship can only run away.

E9 it is, it's still better than those two E6s.

When Lu Qingshan gifted Paris and Thunder spaceships, he also gave away two E6 spaceships as a cashback, which have been lying in his world ring ever since, never used.

Virtual Universe Company's technology is not bad. Although it can't compare to the Machine Race, it is still far superior to other spaceship manufacturers. It only needs to be able to temporarily block the divine power attacks of ordinary immortal gods.

Looking at Lingxi, the little cook busy in the kitchen, Lu Qingshan had already thought about what he would bestow upon her next. Since she disliked cultivation so much, he would give her a C-grade nutrient solution to help her advance to the ninth level of the Universe Realm. Lingxi would definitely be very happy...

Although the cashback from the C-grade nutrient solution was of little help to Lu Qingshan, it wasn't good to pursue profit in everything. He already had three hardworking disciples, so he should focus on nurturing this one to the World Lord level and see how things went later...

If Ling Yu doesn't perish, he will surely become a king or marquis within ten thousand years. At that time, we can think together to see if there is a way for Ling Xi to break through to immortality...

"Master, Kevin is requesting a call."

Nasus's figure appeared. "Hmm? Why is my father-in-law calling all of a sudden? Has something happened to Ling Xiao?"

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly and immediately answered the call.

The father and son have a good relationship, but Kevin rarely calls him; most of the time, he only informs him via email.

"Father!"

Kevin's figure appeared on the other side of the virtual universe, his brows furrowed with worry.

"Qingshan, I hope I didn't disturb your cultivation."

Kevin asked.

"Father, no... Usually, as long as the call can be connected, it means I'm not cultivating. But what happened to you?"

Kevin nodded, then shook his head: "There are some things, but not on my end, it's about Kerry..."

“Kerry.”

Lu Qingshan thought of his glib and handsome brother-in-law. When he left Qiulong Star, he had promised Kevin that he would beat up Kerry and bring him back.

“Yes, Kerry… Kerry called me about six months ago and said he went to Jade Candle Star and had a surprise for me, but I lost contact with him after that. I’m a little worried…”

Kevin looked worried.

“Although he never replied to my emails and calls before, it was because he was out on adventures and couldn’t respond in time… But Jade Candle Star is a very safe planet for life, and it’s one of the three major administrative stars of the Golden Sword Empire… He shouldn’t keep ignoring my calls.”

“Father, I understand your worries… You are at a crucial moment in your breakthrough to the Realm Lord level. You don’t need to worry about this matter; I will take a look for you. If this guy Kairi is in danger, that’s fine. But if he’s deliberately making you worry, I will definitely beat him up and then have someone send him to your side in the Black Dragon Mountain Imperial Capital.”

"Qingshan... I don't know what to say... I'm leaving Kerry in your care."

“Father, there’s no need for such formalities between us. Just focus on nurturing your soul. When Kerry comes home and sees that you’ve broken through to the Realm Lord level, he’ll be very happy.”

Lu Qingshan offered Kevin a word of comfort.

After hanging up the call, Lu Qingshan used his privileges to check the situation on Jade Candle Star.

Yuzhu Star is one of the three major administrative stars of the Golden Sword Empire, a medium-sized universe kingdom under the Qianwu Universe Kingdom.

On par with Golden Sword Star, the capital of the Golden Sword Universe Kingdom, and Jade Star... many prominent families of the Golden Sword Empire have left their family branches on this planet.

The founder of the Golden Sword Empire was an immortal god, known as the Golden Sword Marquis... one of the three hundred marquises under the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler... his strength ranked low, far inferior to the Canghai Marquis and the Silver Moon Marquis, probably only at the high level of an ordinary immortal military lord, much stronger than Kunshaluo...

Besides the Golden Sword Marquis, the Golden Sword Empire also has two other immortals, who are his subordinates. They are both ordinary immortals, and their strength may not even be as great as Kunsala's... One of them, an immortal named Kapu, is on Jade Candle Star.

Having learned all this, Lu Qingshan felt relieved.

As long as he is a subordinate of the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, that's fine. I am the only personal disciple left by the Qianwu Kingdom Lord in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Even if Kairi offends the immortal god of the Golden Sword Empire, I can still save his life with just one word.

At least in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Lu Qingshan believed that there must be very few immortals willing to be his enemy.

"The Ghost King's avatar is currently in a very secluded place comprehending the 'Overview of Time.' I'd better go there myself to check on the situation..."

Even if not for his father-in-law Kevin, Lu Qingshan could not turn a blind eye to Kerry's life or death because of his deceased wife Catherine.

Three days later.

An E9 spaceship pierced through the void and disappeared from the Qianwu Continent, instantly entering the dark universe...
