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

Chapter 112 Medium-sized Auction!
Ling Yu indeed successfully grasped the first essence of the fundamental law of time, and passed through the third level of the Bridge to Heaven in one fell swoop...

Even in Chaos City, a city teeming with geniuses, she remains the undisputed number one in this year's competition.

Lu Qingshan looked at the email sent by Ling Yu, but his face did not show the slightest surprise.

He already knew the moment Ling Yu broke through.

"Ling Yu's performance this time should attract the attention of some Grandmasters in Chaos City. I wonder if anyone would be willing to take her as a disciple..."

Lu Qingshan remained calm. Ling Yu was currently being raised freely, but since they had already formed a master-disciple relationship, she naturally couldn't run away.

If there were other powerful individuals willing to guide her and accelerate her growth, Lu Qingshan would be happy to see it happen.

"Oh? Ling Xiao also sent an email?"

Lu Qingshan opened another email, the contents of which made him raise an eyebrow slightly.

It turns out that another descendant of the Lu family has broken through to the cosmic level.

Lu Qingshan vaguely recognized the name; he was Lu Lingxiao's grandson and deeply loved by Lu Lingxiao. Lu Qingshan remembered that the last time he saw him, he was just a ninth-level planetary-level kid; he never expected that he had already stepped into the cosmic level.

Lu Lingxiao planned to pass the throne of the Maple Leaf Empire to this descendant and focus on cultivation under his teacher's guidance. However, before that, he wanted to further expand the empire's territory, so he sought Lu Qingshan's opinion. After all, Lu Qingshan was the founder of the Maple Leaf Empire.

Lu Qingshan was well aware of his son's feelings.

Lu Lingxiao has always harbored great ambitions and has longed to expand the territory during his reign. However, in the past, he was limited by the fact that the empire did not have a domain lord-level expert, which made it difficult for him to exert his power.

Later, Lu Qingshan broke through to the Domain Lord level and had the opportunity to expand, but instead went to the headquarters of the Qianwu Dojo to cultivate.

Now that Lu Lingxiao is planning to abdicate, he wants to prove himself before that, making the Maple Leaf Empire a true elementary cosmic civilization like the Silver Blue Empire and the Carlo Empire, thus leaving his name in the annals of the empire.

Lu Qingshan did not object and casually transferred 20 Mixed Yuan Units to his son's account.

This money is not only enough to purchase a star system, but it can also upgrade Lu Lingxiao's bank account to three-star level, qualifying him to participate in the Qianwu Auction.

In his reply, he emphasized only two points.

First, he was to have Lu Lingxiao buy the Milky Way and Beta Galaxy near the Maple Leaf Empire. Second, he was to repay the old debt of 2500 billion cosmic coins owed to the emperor of the Silver Blue Empire on his behalf.

This is a trivial matter; Lu Qingshan doesn't need to handle it personally. Lu Lingxiao alone is more than capable of resolving it.

With three powerful realm lords standing behind Lu Lingxiao, and a connection to the Black Dragon God, none of the emperors of those early-stage civilization empires with a modicum of rationality would refuse his proposal.

But at this moment, Lu Qingshan had something more important to do.

The long-awaited cosmic auction, which had been anticipated for twenty-seven years, had finally begun.

This medium-sized auction will be held in the distant, wild universe kingdom, on the planet Aragami.

Lu Qingshan arrived at the nearest teleportation point to Star River Oasis with the invitation. He saw time and space shift before his eyes, and the next moment, he found himself on a vast and boundless grassland.

As one of the two core capitals of the Wilderness Universe Kingdom, the Desolate God Star holds a status comparable to the Qianwu Continent of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, and its grandeur far surpasses that of ordinary life-bearing planets.

Not far away, a transparent light shield rapidly rose from the ground, instantly transforming into a huge circular arena, as if a miracle had descended, a perfect fusion of technology and law.

Powerful figures kept arriving from all directions, each possessing an unfathomable aura.

Almost all of them were immortal gods!
Lu Qingshan sensed for a moment and found that there were thousands of people within his sight, among whom he was the only Realm Lord.

This is not surprising. Realm Lords with 1 Chaos Units are extremely rare. Even some weaker Immortal Gods cannot meet this requirement.

Some people noticed him, the realm lord, but no one approached him to speak. A realm lord who could participate in this auction with a four-star account represented not only wealth, but also a profound background, often making even immortal gods wary.

"You can enter now."

Someone whispered something, and the crowd began to move forward.

Lu Qingshan moved forward with the crowd, and the instant he came into contact with the transparent light shield, a spatial fluctuation instantly teleported him to a corner of the venue.

When I looked up again, everyone was already seated neatly, clearly used to this arrangement.

Compared to the Qianwu Auction, the Universe Medium Auction has a much simpler and more efficient process. There are no queuing or seating arrangements; everything operates smoothly according to a pre-set procedure.

Lu Qingshan sat quietly, occasionally hearing the whispers of other bidders around him. He listened casually, learning about many other interesting events happening in other universes.

Half an hour later, a woman with entirely green skin, two curved antennae on her head, and a stunning figure walked onto the main stage. "Hello everyone, I am Eileen, the host of this auction! First, let's look at the auction items. You can preview the list of items and allocate your bidding funds accordingly..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the floating screens in front of each bidder lit up, displaying a series of rare treasures.

"An F6-class spaceship manufactured by Virtual Universe Corporation."

“Natural mineral ‘red copper blood mother stone’”

"Purple Chen Hundred-Leaf Leaf".

"Design blueprints for the Void Ark spaceship."

"The Immortal Divine Weapon, the Sky-Piercing Dragon Pattern Blade."

……

Each and every one of these treasures was incredibly rare, and many were coveted even by immortal gods.

Lu Qingshan had never heard of most of the treasures on the list, but one name caught his attention.

Purple Jade Leaf.

He had previously obtained "Hundred-Leaf Leaf" through system rebates, which allowed the Star-Eating Grass to evolve from 72 vines to 108 vines and helped it break through to the Realm Lord level.

Judging from the name, this should be a higher version, and perhaps it will be of great use to immortal plant life?

He immediately instructed Nasus to look up relevant information.

He was shocked when he found out!
"Purple Jade Hundred-Flower Leaf, priced at two million Mixed Yuan Units!"

Two million mixed yuan?!

Is this really something that should appear at a mid-range auction?

Let's look at the others.

F-class spaceships and immortal weapons, with starting bids often reaching millions of Hunyuan... Lu Qingshan suddenly felt that the two hundred thousand Hunyuan units he brought seemed somewhat insufficient.

He originally thought that with 21 Mixed Yuan Units, he would be a wealthy man even among the Immortals, but now he felt like a "country bumpkin" who had just arrived in the city.

Even an immortal like Khun Sa Lo is probably not qualified to attend this kind of auction.

Fortunately, he found what he was looking for.

"Star Dragon Flame Fruit, one hundred pieces in a set, starting bid three thousand Hunyuan."

These treasures, which Kunsala had cherished so dearly when he apologized, were now being auctioned off in sets here… Lu Qingshan steadied himself and decisively made his move when it came to the Star Dragon Flame Fruit.

"3500."

"3600."

"3610."

……

Prices rose slowly, clearly indicating that the immortals present were not very interested in realm lord-level resources.

In the end, Lu Qingshan successfully bid for it with 4,600 Hunyuan.

"One hundred Star Dragon Flame Fruits should be enough for my main body to cultivate to the peak of the Realm Lord level. However, the Ghost King's clone has a 50-fold increase in genetic level, so to achieve the same effect, I'd probably need five thousand..."

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

A medium-sized auction is held once every 30 years. Even if every auction has Star Dragon Flame Fruit, it would still take 1,500 years.

Just as he was pondering, Eileen's clear voice rang out again throughout the hall.

"Next item: Three cultivation slots in the 'Initial Universe' at the World Lord level. Starting price: Zero Chaos Yuan. Highest bidder wins!"
