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

Chapter 160 Spirit Feather Cash Back
"Lingyu, tell me about what happened to you."

Lingyu's changes were impossible to conceal.

Aside from her still flowing purple hair, her appearance had indeed changed drastically, especially her eyes, which, upon closer inspection, seemed to have a faint green glow.

It gave off an eerie feeling, and for Lu Qingshan, it added a touch of exoticism...

If the fans of 'Angel Spirit Feather' from a thousand years ago were to see this, they would certainly not believe their eyes.

However, Lingxi felt that her sister's transformation was very cool, and even wanted to learn her sister's makeup skills.

"Teacher, it's like this... Back when I was on the Blood Luo Continent, I discovered that after fusing with Blood Luo Crystals, my ability to comprehend the laws seemed to have improved a lot, so I started searching for more Blood Luo Crystals. At first, things went very smoothly. I killed seven or eight city lords in succession and seized six Blood Luo Crystals, but in the end, I still provoked a world lord."

"The Black Wind City Lord I killed was the World Lord's most beloved disciple, so I was hunted down. I only managed to escape thanks to the E5-class spaceship my teacher gave me. After that, I discovered that to fuse with the Blood Crystal, I needed a place with abundant baleful energy, so I went to the Ancient God Ruins!"

Lu Qingshan is now a master of the Primordial Secret Realm, so this information is not a secret, and Ling Yu has no need to hide it.

“There, I felt some changes in my body. The denser the baleful aura, the stronger the feeling. With the help of the baleful aura in the ancient god ruins, I successfully fused with the third Blood Crystal! After that, it seemed to activate the hidden bloodline in my body, and then I fell into a coma.”

"Fortunately, the concentration of malevolent energy in the place I am in is extremely high, and ordinary people cannot get close at all. Moreover, the entrance to the cave is protected by the ninth-level Domain Lord Moyun Vine. That's why I have been safe all these years. And this is what happened after that."

Lingyu's expression also showed some helplessness.

She seemed to prefer her previous look.

"Hehe, this is a good thing. Didn't you tell me before that there is a terrifying bloodline hidden in your body? Last time it was initially activated, and this time it should have been activated a second time with the help of Blood Crystal and Fiend Qi. Your potential must have been enhanced again, am I right?"

“Teacher is absolutely right. After I awoke, my speed of comprehending the laws increased several times. In a thousand years, I have already comprehended 81 of the fundamental laws of time. However, I have encountered some difficulties and am planning to ask teacher for guidance.”

Ling Yu didn't hide the changes in herself. It wasn't just the improvement in her talent; thanks to this bloodline evolution, she had already integrated eight Blood Crystals. She only needed two more to become a legendary Black Warrior.

"I'll answer your questions about cultivation later. I remember that I only gave you the first 36 secret techniques of 'Green Mountain' before."

Lu Qingshan was surprised by Ling Yu's progress.

"Teacher, after I came back, Teacher Lingyun Wang exchanged for the 'Green Mountain - Time Foundation' that you contributed. Teacher's secret technique is so powerful that even Teacher Lingyun Wang praised your genius."

"Hehe." Lu Qingshan chuckled inwardly. He was a genius? Wasn't that common knowledge? Did Lingyun King need to specifically remind him?

King Lingyun meant well but did something wrong. It would have been better if he had kept this secret technique for himself.

They wasted a chance that was given to them.

Of the two secret techniques Lu Qingshan has created, only the Time Secret Technique is effective against Ling Yu; the Space Secret Technique is ineffective against her, and the bestowal of it has no effect on her.

"Lingyu, has your teacher, Lingyun Wang, redeemed 'Time Overview' for you?"

Lu Qingshan suddenly asked.

“No!” Lingyu shook her head: “I haven’t even figured out the ‘Green Mountain - Time Foundation’ you created, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to learn ‘Time Overview’ anytime soon.”

"Hehe. You've misunderstood." Lu Qingshan explained, "Although the 'Overview of Time' is a secret technique created by a great human being, it's not something lofty and unattainable. It still has a strong auxiliary effect for beginners. When I created the Qingshan Time Foundation, this 'Overview of Time' played a significant role."

"Is that so?" Lingyu's eyes lit up. "When I get back, I'll exchange for a copy and see how it works."

"Time Overview" is very expensive; even a Grandmaster wouldn't be able to afford the complete book. However, the first one or two volumes are very cheap.

Lingyu has completed many missions over the years and accumulated a lot of points, so buying the first few volumes of "Time Overview" is not a problem.

Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "Why go through all that trouble? I'll buy you three books, which will be enough to help you finish analyzing the essence of 108 time periods."

"Teacher, this..."

"No need to say more, the teacher just made a little money, consider this a celebration."

Lu Qingshan directly ordered the first three volumes of "Time Overview", which cost 10 points, and wrote Ling Yu's name as the recipient.

10 points is equivalent to 10 Chaos Units. Even an ordinary Immortal Lord like Kabel doesn't have that many assets.

However, Lu Qingshan still felt it was too little. If it weren't for the restrictions imposed by the system's cashback, he would have wanted to buy all six volumes and give them to Lingyu. With that thousand-fold cashback, he would definitely obtain an amazing secret technique.

However, "Time Overview" is already an incredibly ingenious technique; even the first three volumes should yield a substantial return. ...

"Teacher, you've struck it rich, am I entitled to a share?"

When they were discussing secrets earlier, Lingxi took the initiative to avoid suspicion, but now that the master and disciple are exchanging feelings, she has come over again.

She thought she just heard the teacher say that he had made a fortune, and she wanted a piece of the pie.

"You'll get your share too. Once you break through to the Domain Lord realm, I'll also give you a gift."

"Breaking through to the Domain Lord level."

Lingxi thought about it and realized she wasn't very interested in the gift anymore.

Breaking through to the Domain Lord level is dangerous, and there's a possibility of failure. She felt she needed to accumulate experience for a while longer.

Of Lu Qingshan's disciples, only Ling Yu needs to be at a certain level to complete the trial mission. Among the other disciples, only Ling Xi is still at the ninth level of the Universe Realm.

Logically speaking, her accumulated experience should be more than enough to make a breakthrough, but she has always been reluctant to do so.

Lu Qingshan ignored her. After learning about the changes in Ling Yu, he went to Lei Ming and Bru and encouraged the two disciples. As for Paris, he was in the outer battlefield, and Lu Qingshan did not take the initiative to contact him.

After doing all this, Lu Qingshan's consciousness returned to the small building in Chaos City.

At the same time, the cashback information from Golden Finger came immediately.

[You bestowed the first three volumes of "Overview of Time" upon your disciple Lingyu, and received a thousandfold return; you now possess "Analysis of Time - Volume 1".]

As expected... it was exactly as Lu Qingshan had guessed.

The secret technique I obtained this time is called "Time Analysis".

He has now collected the incomplete "Analysis of Heavenly Thunder", "Analysis of Space", and "Analysis of Soul", and with this "Analysis of Time", it is now his fourth book.

However, among these secret techniques, only Soul Analysis and Time Analysis are in their first volume; the others are all incomplete.

Lu Qingshan emptied his mind and began to accept the inheritance of the secret technique.

The secret to system cashback is to imprint it directly into the depths of one's soul, making it easier to learn and understand.

"So many, so complicated!!"

Lu Qingshan spent three days and three nights studying just the first volume of "Analysis of Time".

This is more information than he had ever received about all the arcane cashback before.

Upon receiving the information, it was already imprinted on his soul, and he could access it at any time.

"2239 secret techniques? Not bad, not bad at all. This move is truly amazing. The fundamental law of time can be used in such a way?"

The fundamental law of time is the law that Lu Qingshan has comprehended most deeply at present. He only needs to comprehend the Chaos Stele once more to easily pass through the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge. Moreover, he is following the route of analyzing the essence of time, so those basic secret techniques are not difficult in his eyes.

The most basic parts may not be of much use to him now, but they are still very important.

It can broaden his horizons and give him more ideas and possibilities when creating secret techniques.

As for the deeper secrets, they seem even more mysterious than those in the first four volumes of "Overview of Time," and it will be difficult to gain anything from them in a short time unless one goes into seclusion and studies them diligently.

This "Time Analysis" is of great help in comprehending the fundamental laws of time. Perhaps in the future, it will become the most important secret technique for Lu Qingshan to assist in cultivating the fundamental laws of time.

"It's time to go to the Bridge of Heaven. I need the opportunity to comprehend the Chaos Stele!"

Lu Qingshan first had Nasus organize "Qingshan - Space Foundation," which he had created during his three hundred years of seclusion.

He personally uploaded the information to the company's secret treasure vault backend. During the review process, he came to the Tongtian Bridge dimension for the first time.
