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

Chapter 145 Dragon Whale King and Qianwu's First Defeat
It was still the same grand hall as before.

This was the first time Lu Qingshan had seen his second senior brother, the 'Dragon Whale King'. He was less than two meters tall, quite fat, and wore a magnificent golden robe, looking like a wealthy merchant.

On the top of his head were two forked horns, and he looked somewhat similar to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, like a Qianwu Kingdom ruler who had gained a few pounds.

"This must be my junior brother, Lu Qingshan, right? He is indeed a handsome man."

The Dragon Whale King walked over very enthusiastically.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother. I'm so grateful to have troubled you to make this trip in person."

Lu Qingshan was very respectful to his second senior brother.

After all, he was a King-level Immortal God, a top-tier existence below the Venerable Ones. He only returned to the Qianwu Universe Kingdom for his sake.

"Hehe, Qingshan, don't be so polite. Once you get to know me, you'll see that I'm a very easy-going person."

"My senior brother looks very amiable."

Lu Qingshan followed him into the main hall.
Then he bowed to the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom on the throne.

"Qingshan greets the teacher."

"No need to be polite."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded slightly and continued, "Your second senior brother rarely comes back, and he plans to rest in the Qianwu Secret Realm for a few days. The main reason for calling you here today is to get to know him. If you encounter any problems in the Initial Universe in the future, you can seek help from your second senior brother. He is a kind-hearted person."

Before Lu Qingshan could express his gratitude.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom continued.

"The initial universe comprehension period is three thousand years. You must improve your strength as soon as possible during these three thousand years. The World Lord Qualification Tournament will begin in only twenty thousand years. It was not easy for your master to help you obtain this opportunity. Don't be eliminated and sent to the Primordial Secret Realm after twenty thousand years. That would make you a laughing stock."

"Teacher, rest assured, your disciple of twenty thousand years will certainly not fall too far behind."

Lu Qingshan spoke tactfully: 20,000 years... even if the initial universe's 3,000 years is 10,000 years, there's still another 10,000 years. In such a long time, if he can't even defeat the realm lord of the Primordial Secret Realm, then Lu Qingshan's cheat code has been wasted. He might as well buy a block of tofu and smash his head against it.

By then, his disciples might already be masters of the Primordial Mystic Realm!

"Qingshan, I know you are steady and have a good sense of propriety... but when you go to the Initial Universe, you still need to show your abilities. The Initial Universe is absolutely safe. Only by demonstrating your talents can you gain preferential treatment from human resources."

He sighed.

"Don't let my status as a cosmic venerable fool you. I don't actually have many resources at my disposal, far fewer than others. You'll have to fight for many of them yourself. But don't worry, as long as you demonstrate enough talent, I will absolutely not let you suffer in terms of resource allocation!"

Although the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was poor, he was very confident. Since Lu Qingshan was his disciple, he would certainly not suffer unfair treatment.

"in addition……"

After a pause, the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom continued, "I will give you 10 billion points. This amount should be enough for you to use for a long time. The Lord of the Primal Secret Realm will also receive points as a reward."

"Thank you teacher."

Lu Qingshan took a deep breath.

One hundred billion points, that's one hundred billion Chaos Units, which is almost twice the value of the Locke Divine Water he entrusted to Pansy, and comparable to the entire assets of a King. The Lord of Qianwu Kingdom is truly generous to his disciple.

This is what you call "not having many resources"?
This is practically a golden opportunity!
Lu Qingshan had some understanding of the value of points in the virtual universe.

There's no fixed exchange rate between points and Hunyuan units. Buying ordinary goods with points is very uneconomical; roughly one Hunyuan unit is worth five points. Luo Feng was fooled by the ignorant Babata and suffered this loss, buying a bunch of junk with all 10,000 points, ending up with no points left to buy "Bloodstained: The Legend of the Condor Heroes." However, when buying high-value items, especially those not for sale, points are far more valuable than Hunyuan; one point is worth more than one Hunyuan. If Hunyuan could be exchanged for points, even at a 1:1 ratio, many King-level Immortals would probably be willing to do so.

Lu Qingshan naturally wouldn't exchange for low-value items, so the value of these 100 billion points was definitely higher than 100 billion mixed units to him.

"Hehe, I'm embarrassed to accept so many points from you, Teacher. Junior Brother Qingshan, I've also prepared a gift for you, but that gift can only be given to you after you go to the Initial Universe and secure your spot as the Primal Secret Realm Master. You shouldn't be in a hurry, right?"

The Dragon Whale King revealed a prosperous smile.

"Given by my second senior brother, how could Qingshan dare to complain? I am too grateful to even think about it."

Lu Qingshan quickly replied.

"Alright, Qingshan, you should go back now. I'll tell you before your second senior brother leaves, and then you can set off together. Prepare well and don't disappoint your master..."

"Yes, teacher, second senior brother, see you later."

Lu Qingshan bowed to the two of them again, then slowly withdrew from the main hall.

Although this was just a farewell meeting, Lu Qingshan gained a lot. He hadn't even gone to the Primal Secret Realm yet, but his points already exceeded those of most Realm Lords in the Primal Secret Realm.

That's the benefit of having a background.

And there was also that mysterious gift from his second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King. Lu Qingshan didn't know what it was, but judging from his serious demeanor, its value shouldn't be too low.

He just left...

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at his second disciple and said with a smile, "Giving a greeting gift and being so mysterious..."

The Dragon Whale King helplessly spread his hands: "Teacher, you know... this resurrection has used up all my assets, and I'm now drowning in debt..."

Now, the only things left are the Blood Luo Crystals we looted during the cleanup of the Blood Luo Continent. These are restricted in trade; selling them to the company is too unprofitable. I asked you to help me find a solution, but you refused. The only option is to give them away. Once Junior Brother Qingshan officially becomes the Lord of the Primal Secret Realm, I can apply to give him some Blood Luo Crystals.”

"Blood Crystal is indeed a good thing. Don't always think about selling it... I can handle things with the Hong Alliance, but it's easy to sell Blood Crystal, but it's too difficult to buy it back with money."

"You were right to give it to Qingshan. He's already talented, and if he could fuse with a few Blood Crystals, then needless to say, our hopes of repaying our debt might just rest on your shoulders, Junior Brother Qingshan."

"I hope so... Last time I died, I lost two of my most valuable treasures..."

The Dragon Whale King sighed.

If he hadn't been carrying such a valuable treasure, the bill for his resurrection wouldn't have been so staggering. The worst part is that he kept the resurrection bill himself, but he can't bring the treasure back. Can you believe how infuriating that is?

"Don't look at me. How many years has it been since I ventured out? I don't have any suitable treasures on me right now."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom turned around, seemingly unaware of the expectant gaze of his disciple.

The Dragon Whale King took the initiative to come and pick up Lu Qingshan to go to the initial universe.

His real purpose in coming back to visit his teacher, the King of Qianwu, was not so much to make a quick buck and perhaps earn some gold coins. Unfortunately, the King of Qianwu was also poor and penniless, preventing him from achieving his goal.

"Ugh!"

The Dragon Whale King sighed.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom, who had turned around, couldn't help but let out a silent sigh.
