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

Chapter 158 A Beginning of Fame, A Person Who Appreciates Talent

Virtual Universe Company is highly efficient.

Just three days later, Lu Qingshan received a call from the review department.

The other person was a kind-looking, slightly overweight elderly man whose tone of voice was like a gentle breeze.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan, the secret technique you uploaded, 'Qingshan - The Fundamentals of Time,' is an excellent manual. After our review, it meets the requirements for inclusion in the Secret Technique Treasury. However, your pricing seems a bit too low. Based on our assessment of this secret technique, a price of around 3000 points would be more appropriate."

The old man was very kind and spoke with Lu Qingshan's best interests at heart.

"No need! I created this secret technique so that more people could learn it; there's no need to set the price too high."

Lu Qingshan shook his head and refused.

"Your Highness Lu Qingshan is indeed of noble character. In that case, let's set the price at 800 points as Your Highness suggested. Here is also a commission contract that Your Highness needs to sign."

A virtual contract was sent over very quickly.

Lu Qingshan glanced at it and saw no problems. It was just a matter of authorizing some secret techniques. After a few quick glances, he signed his name on it.

After that, he officially entrusted the sale of this secret technique to the Virtual Universe Company, and he only needed to wait for the points to be credited to his account.

Many Grandmasters residing in Chaos City typically upload numerous secret techniques, and the revenue sharing from the sale of these techniques is also a significant source of points.

The higher the level of the arcane art, the higher the price. If it is a buyout, the Virtual Universe Company can set the price freely. If it is a revenue sharing, as long as it is not too outrageous, the Virtual Universe Company will generally follow the pricing suggestion of the arcane art owner.

This is also a major reason why Lu Qingshan chose to share the profits. If it were a buyout, the Virtual Universe Company would price it at three thousand points, and there would be very few geniuses who could afford it.

Compared to a genius disciple, the so-called points are nothing but fleeting clouds.

After the contract was signed.

Lu Qingshan instructed Nasus to search the secret manual treasury again according to the conditions. Sure enough, he found his secret manual in the category of the laws of time origin, and there was a word "new" written in the universal language next to it, meaning that the secret manual had just been added.

This is just a small recommendation.

After all, the company's treasure trove of secrets contains too much content, and many categories are highly homogenized. If you just throw it in, it will easily be buried.

"Huh? Someone placed an order so quickly?"

As the uploader of the secret technique, Lu Qingshan can see the number of people who have sold it. After all, this involves revenue sharing with the Virtual Universe Company. Just now, he observed that the number of sales of "Qingshan - The Foundation of Time" had changed from 0 to 1.

That's all. As the provider of the secret technique, Lu Qingshan can only see the number of purchases. He has no right to see who made the purchases. This is to protect the information of the purchasers of the secret technique.

"Selling one copy so quickly, it seems the method of selling this secret technique was chosen quite well."

Lu Qingshan praised himself for his brilliant decision.

In Chaos City, where there are many grandmasters, how can one make a name for oneself without some special means?

After refreshing the page several times without seeing a second buyer, Lu Qingshan was not disappointed. He returned to the rooftop and immersed himself in comprehending the fundamental laws.

……

Meanwhile, in a manor at the foot of Thunder Mountain in the virtual universe.

The manor was spacious, with only a stone table and a few small trees in the large courtyard.

An old man in white robes lay on a bamboo chair, flipping through a secret manual.

From the blue cover of the secret manual, it can be seen that it is "Qingshan - The Basics of Time" that Lu Qingshan just uploaded.

"Brilliant! Brilliant! I can't believe this secret technique was created by a genius at the World Lord level. The analysis of the fundamental laws of time is simply amazing. Even many Grandmasters in Chaos City who have comprehended the laws of time don't have this ability at the World Lord level!"

"Teacher, who are you talking about?"

Not far from the old man, a young man in white stood under a tree, carrying a golden sword on his back. "A newly arrived Primordial Mystic Realm Master in Chaos City!"

The old man looked up at his disciple with a smile on his face.

"Lord of the Primordial Mystic Realm?"

The white-clad young man carrying the golden sword showed a hint of surprise in his eyes. He was only a Domain Lord-level member of the Primordial Secret Realm and knew how monstrous the geniuses of the Primordial Secret Realm were, let alone a Domain Lord-level member of the Primordial Secret Realm.

However, he then gave a cold laugh.

"It's just a primitive secret realm; I'll be able to break into it soon enough!"

His voice carried unparalleled confidence.

"Hehe... Jin Jian, you're not so good at other things, but your confidence is something even I admire! Is the Primal Secret Realm so easy to enter? Not to mention others, the creator of this secret technique, that genius Realm Lord, was recently recommended by a Venerable to join the Primal Secret Realm, which caused a lot of controversy. Fortunately, he passed through the 15th level of the Illusion Sea, which shut some people up."

Jin Jian snorted coldly: "Isn't this what geniuses are like? It's normal to be questioned. Just like me... Back then, the Genius Battle was only in the Apocalypse Secret Realm. Who would have thought I could fight my way all the way to the Primordial Secret Realm?"

"You are indeed a genius, I admit that, otherwise I wouldn't have taken you as my disciple. Your only flaw is that you're too stubborn. When you returned to Chaos City to cultivate, I went to great lengths to find you a Marquis who was proficient in the fundamental laws of space as your mentor. But you? Less than half a year has passed, and you've already come to me complaining that you can't continue!!"

"I will listen to correct advice, but should I also listen to incorrect advice?"

Jin Jian disagreed.

As a genius, he had his own ideas. While the title of Marquis and the title of Immortal were countless times stronger than his, they weren't necessarily right in everything.

"Alas! Taking you as my disciple is a sin I have committed, and I fear I will live many years less in the future."

The old man sighed.

"Immortal gods have infinite lifespans, and you don't go out to explore, staying in Chaos City all the time, so there's nothing to worry about."

"I mean, you're driving me crazy!"

The old man put the book on the table.

"I'll find you one last mentor. If you're still not satisfied, there's nothing I can do. I should have just taken on a disciple who had grasped the fundamental laws of time. This Lu Qingshan is pretty good, hehe. If it weren't for the fact that you look a bit like me, no one would have wanted to take you on as a disciple back then. You were so pitiful, hehehe..."

……

In Chaos City, there is a small building called Lingyun Pavilion, which is the residence of the Grandmaster Lingyun King in Chaos City.

At this moment, she was also studying "Qingshan - The Basics of Time" uploaded by Lu Qingshan.

As a Grandmaster who had comprehended the fundamental laws of time and a disciple of the Universe Venerable, Lingyun King possessed extraordinary insight and recognized the value of this manual at a glance.

"Brilliant... If I had thought of this method when analyzing the essence of the laws of time, we might have progressed even faster..."

Like a doctoral student looking at a high school student's notes, Lu Qingshan's manual held no secrets in the eyes of the Spirit King.

"No wonder Lingyu didn't follow my advice to switch to a different manual. This manual does indeed have many commendable aspects. Lu Qingshan is truly a prodigy who can comprehend the fundamental laws of time. It's a pity he's already a disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler; otherwise, our teacher would definitely be interested in him."

King Lingyun was a man who valued talent; otherwise, he wouldn't have sent his disciple to be the leader of Lingyu's guards. On one hand, it was to build a closer relationship with his future disciple, and on the other hand, it was to assess the disciple's character.

"Lingyu".

Thinking of his disciple, a look of worry appeared in King Lingyun's eyes. The news from the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was that Ling Yu was not dead, but no specific details were revealed.

The Palace Master of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace was a being countless times more powerful than his teacher, so King Lingyun dared not ask any more questions, but he still had some worries about Lingyu.

"I hope Lingyu returns soon. I remember that the cultivation manual she used only contains the first 36 essences. The rest of the content can be given to her!"

The secret manual purchased with points can only be practiced by one person. This secret technique is naturally useless to King Lingyun. There is no other way to deal with it except to give it to his disciple!
