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

Chapter 154 Gifts from Senior Brothers and Sisters

In Chaos City, Realm Lords don't receive any special treatment. They are no different from geniuses selected through the Genius Battle and the Strongest Battle, and can only live in the most ordinary small buildings on both sides of the street.

However, once a Grandmaster with permanent residency in Chaos City obtains a title, their status changes, and they can customize their living environment within a certain range.

Blood Abyss Tower—that's where Lu Qingshan's seventh senior sister, Blood Rose King, lives.

Lu Qingshan was surprised by the scene when he walked in. The huge space on the first floor was empty, without any furniture or household items, only paintings hanging on the walls.

He looked carefully.

These paintings seem to bear some resemblance to the Heart-Traces Chaos Stele I saw in the corridor earlier.

However, the paintings here are much more detailed and intricate. The first painting on the Heart-Traces Chaos Stele has been transformed into hundreds or even thousands of paintings.

This Senior Sister Blood Rose must also be following the path of analyzing the essence of the laws, otherwise she wouldn't have such a profound understanding of the Chaos Stele.

The principles are universal; by analyzing the principles at the higher levels, one can gain a more comprehensive understanding of the principles at the lower levels.

After all, analyzing laws is a skill, and this skill doesn't disappear just because the laws change...

Lu Qingshan gradually explored the paintings, starting from the basics and progressing to more advanced levels. Although it wasn't as profound as directly observing the Chaos Stele, the gains were still significant. Lu Qingshan discovered that he could grasp the basics of the Metal element's fundamental laws at any time...

My son, Lu Lingxiao, has the talent of the metal element. If I could make a copy of these scrolls, it would be of great help to my son in learning the fundamental laws!
Lu Lingxiao has a good mental will, but his affinity with the laws is still too poor. He has now broken through to the first level of Domain Lord, but his understanding of the original laws has not improved at all.

His domain had broken through to the peak of the ninth level. He could barely sense some fluctuations of the metal element laws.

Even so, it is still a long way from mastering the fundamental laws of the metal element.

The Black Dragon God and Mundo initially assessed him as having a sliver of hope to break through to the Realm Lord level, indicating that they weren't very confident in his understanding of the laws either.

During their last conversation, Lu Qingshan learned some things about his son's cultivation progress... So when he provides him with resources in the future, he can offer more targeted assistance.

Let's see what Senior Sister Xuewei's attitude is first. If she doesn't mind, we can ask her for a copy.

After all, many powerful individuals value their insights and do not want them to be spread.

……

"Junior Brother Qingshan...are you engrossed in watching?"

The second senior brother, Dragon Whale King, walked in and patted him on the shoulder.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother!" Lu Qingshan bowed before saying, "These paintings by Senior Sister Xuewei Wang are truly amazing. They even have some of the artistic conception of the Chaos Stele... For someone who has just entered the realm of laws, they are more precious than any secret technique."

"Haha, of course." Dragon Whale King was not surprised at all. He said, "You may not know that your senior sister, Blood Rose King, is a grandmaster of the Heart Mark Chaos Stele. She has been teaching in Chaos City for many years. Her teaching ability is famously strong. She has even trained a disciple who has been granted the title of King."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom has spent countless years cultivating only two disciples who have been granted the title of king. Yet, the Blood Rose King has also cultivated a disciple who has been granted the title of king.
Lu Qingshan felt a surge of anticipation for his seventh senior sister, whom he had never met before…

If we get to know each other better in the future, we can exchange ideas on how to train disciples. Lu Qingshan doesn't think he's particularly good at teaching. He's good at discovering geniuses and he provides them with resources in a rough way. As long as they're not a complete idiot, he can train them.

"Let's go, you can look at these paintings anytime. Or let's go see your seventh senior sister first..." Lu Qingshan followed the Dragon Whale King upstairs.

The second layer seems to be a copy of the first layer, still consisting of countless paintings, only in greater numbers.

The third floor is the same...

There wasn't enough space to hang the fourth layer of paintings, so they were stacked up in the corner.

The fifth and a half-room was filled with paintings.

On the sixth floor, only a narrow passage remains, making it easy to get through by taking the stairs...

The two walked all the way to the seventh floor... and only then did Lu Qingshan see what his seventh senior sister looked like.

He had long, blood-red hair, and a red mark between his brows, which was not recognized by the laws, but looked like a flower ornament.

Compared to the Dragon Whale King, this senior sister appeared calm and unassuming, possessing a more masterful demeanor.

"Qingshan greets Seventh Senior Sister."

Lu Qingshan bowed. Xuewei Wang slowly rose, a smile appearing on her exquisite face, her voice as gentle as a spring breeze: "Junior Brother Qingshan, it's been so long since I came to see you, you don't have any objections to your senior sister, do you?"

"How could that be?" Lu Qingshan smiled. "Senior Sister chose a place for me before I came to the Initial Universe. She was so thoughtful and meticulous. I am more than grateful to her."

"Compared to the teacher's other disciples, Junior Brother Qingshan is much more composed. No wonder the teacher treats you differently..."

Of the many disciples of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, many have perished, and very few have truly grown up. Those who have received the same treatment as Lu Qingshan are truly unique.

"Junior Sister Xuewei, you may not know this, but Junior Brother Qingshan recently ventured into the Illusionary Sea and conquered fifteen islands in one go. Now, many Grandmasters are paying close attention to him..."

"Oh, really? That's quite remarkable." A hint of surprise flashed in the Blood Rose King's eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"Junior Brother Qingshan, Senior Brother Dragon Whale King and I invited you here today for two reasons: first, to meet you, and second, to present you with a gift."

As she spoke, she raised her hand and took out an object that shone with golden light and resembled a small person.

"This is a metal life form of the Bona race. I acquired it many years ago, but it has not yet recognized me as its master, so I'll give it to you. This metal life form is quite unique; it can fuse with spaceships and integrate into battle armor to enhance the armor's toughness and sturdiness. You can decide for yourself how to use it."

"Thank you for the gift, senior sister."

After accepting the gift, Lu Qingshan thanked him profusely.

This is an extraordinary gift. It is more valuable than any immortal weapon. This Bona metal life form is of great use to even a King-level immortal. The spaceship infused with the metal life form will increase in value countless times. The spaceship alone can withstand an attack from a group of immortals.

"Junior sister actually brought out this treasure, sigh..." Dragon Whale King exclaimed in surprise, then took out a box.

"My senior brother recently encountered some trouble and doesn't have any valuable treasures. These stones were acquired years ago, so I'll give them to you."

As he spoke, he opened the box.

Inside the box was a pile of long, triangular prism-shaped crystals. These mysterious crystals were completely transparent, emitting a blood-red light, and a mysterious fluctuation could be faintly felt.

"This is Blood Crystal. With your access level, you should be able to find it. This thing is quite precious. If it were put up for auction, many Venerables would be willing to buy it. However, our Virtual Universe Company has strict control over this thing. Even I can't give away too many at once. Moreover, it must be approved before it can be done. It's only because my junior brother is the Realm Lord of the Primal Secret Realm that I can't take out so many."

"Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

Lu Qingshan was somewhat excited and carefully put away the Blood Crystal.

He knew the value of this gift. These one hundred Blood Crystals might not be worth much if sold to the Virtual Universe Company, but buying them would be much more difficult than buying a Bona metal life form.

……

Then, the three chatted for a while about interesting things that happened in Chaos City. It was mostly the Dragon Whale King and Blood Rose King who did the talking, while Lu Qingshan listened quietly and rarely spoke.

After all, he was new to the city and didn't know much about Chaos City. He only knew what he remembered, and he couldn't just say whatever he knew.

However, one topic quickly caught Lu Qingshan's attention.

"I heard that King Lingyun went to the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, probably for her new disciple named Lingyu."

The Dragon Whale King spoke with great interest.

“I’ve also heard that Lingyun King’s disciple went to the Blood Luo Continent, but disappeared for a long time. Even the company can’t determine whether he has perished. Lingyun King is probably inquiring about this matter.”

King Blood Rose spoke calmly.

"Junior brother was previously an instructor in the Qianwu Secret Realm. Do you know this genius named Lingyu?"

Dragon Whale King turned to look at Lu Qingshan.

"To be honest, I was Lingyu's mentor back in the Qianwu Secret Realm."

Lu Qingshan sighed.

"Junior brother, don't worry. I'll ask around for you later. As long as King Lingyun returns from the Heavenly Eclipse Palace, we should have some definite news."

"Thank you, senior sister!"
