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

Chapter 166 Golden Finger: Unsuitable for Disciples
"Congratulations, Your Highness Lu Qingshan, on passing through all 15 levels of the Heavenly Bridge in one go, and it's the most difficult Cosmic Heavenly Bridge! Congratulations!"

When Lu Qingshan returned to the beautiful island, Baffin immediately came to congratulate him. The small resentment he had felt before had completely vanished after Lu Qingshan successfully crossed the Tongtian Bridge.

Baffin was just an ordinary Immortal King. His appointment as the guardian of the Skybridge was mainly due to his connection with a certain great being of the human race, which granted him this prestigious position.

Over the years, he has accumulated countless connections and even befriended many venerable figures, all by taking advantage of his identity as a guardian.

After all, the Bridge to Heaven is the best place to test the strength of geniuses, and many Venerables still need him to help discover geniuses.

That ability to send emails quickly was developed through repeated practice.

"Thank you, Guardian."

Lu Qingshan bowed and expressed his gratitude.

He discovered that although Baffin had no nose, he did not appear abnormal; on the contrary, he gave people a kind feeling.

"Your Highness Qingshan, please don't be so polite. Just call me Baffin from now on. We'll be dealing with each other often in the future, so there's no need to be so formal."

"Alright, Baffin... I'll be going now, see you next time."

"I wish Qingshan will soon cross the 18-story Heavenly Bridge and become a permanent resident of Chaos City."

"Thank you!"

After chatting with the guardian Baffin for a few minutes, Lu Qingshan exited the Tongtian Bridge dimension and returned to his small building.

In this challenge, he crossed 15 levels of the Sky Bridge and gained 14 opportunities to comprehend the Chaos Monument of the Universe, which replenished his qualifications for comprehension once again.

Lu Qingshan did not immediately try to comprehend the Chaos Stele.

In his last insight, he understood one of the three major branches of the fundamental law of time: time stopping, followed by time freezing.

He has only grasped the basics and can barely execute them; they are not perfect yet. He still needs to digest the insights from the last time and the gains from this time's breakthrough.

He needs to settle down for at least a while before he can try to comprehend the Chaos Stele again. Don't be fooled by the fact that he has 14 chances; these chances are very precious. Trying to obtain them again by breaking through the Heavenly Bridge in the future will be extremely difficult.

“Master, your Cosmic Galaxy Bank account has just received a transfer of 150 billion Chaos Units.”

Nasus's slightly surprised voice rang in my ears.

Nasus is a very calm and composed intelligent being who has accompanied Lu Qingshan all the way. His personality is very similar to that of his master.

Even he was surprised, which shows that this sum of money was truly enormous.

150 billion mixed yuan?
Where is it?
Lu Qingshan checked his bank balance and, sure enough, the funds had arrived in his account.

The funds were transferred through an unfamiliar account, and the key point is that he didn't know the owner of that account.

"It shouldn't be the teacher... If the teacher were to transfer money to me, they would have informed me in an email."

150 billion Chaos Units—many King-level powerhouses don't even have that much wealth. Such a large transfer at once means either an invincible being among King-level powerhouses or a Universe Venerable.

Unfortunately, there was no message left after the transfer, so Lu Qingshan had no idea who it was from.

"Go and see Second Senior Brother and Senior Sister Blood Rose."

Lu Qingshan had not forgotten about his son, and it was a good opportunity to ask them about this matter.

He had previously searched the company's treasury for treasures similar to Thunder Source Crystals that could improve physical fitness.

Several were indeed found.

However, like the Blood Crystal, those items are restricted items. Only core secret realm geniuses can exchange them with points to a limited extent, and they are absolutely not allowed to be sold or given to others, not even their own sons, unless the other party is also a core member of the Virtual Universe Company.

Lu Qingshan understands the company's rules; if there are no restrictions, there is a lot of room for maneuver.

After all, the treasures redeemed with points from the company's treasury are much cheaper than those outside the company. Even if they are resold, they can generate a large profit. If there are no restrictions, the company's treasury will be emptied very quickly.

Now, Lu Qingshan's only hope is either to obtain treasures like the "Thunder Source Crystal" through cashback, or to acquire the scrolls of the Blood Rose King. Both of these should allow Lu Lingxiao to comprehend the laws, and they do not conflict with each other.

Half an hour later, Lu Qingshan met his second senior brother, Dragon Whale King, and his seventh senior sister, Blood Rose King, at the Blood Abyss Tower. Dragon Whale King loved adventure, but after his last setback, he hadn't left Chaos City for years. After all, a thousand years was just a moment for an immortal king.

Blood Rose Queen is probably a homebody; she hasn't left Chaos City for countless years, devoting herself to teaching her disciples.

On the seventh floor of the Blood Abyss Tower, Lu Qingshan talked about the 150 billion Mixed Yuan Units.

After hearing this, the Dragon Whale King chuckled and said with a hint of envy, "The person who suddenly transferred so much money to you must be a powerful figure... especially since it happened after you crossed the 15th level of the Heavenly Bridge, which makes it all the more understandable."

He analyzed, "Either some supreme being of the universe, or an invincible king, values ​​you and is giving you some investment in advance, hoping to get your help in the future."

"Or perhaps the Venerable Ones lost a bet and that's why they transferred the money to you. Even for me before, 150 billion was a considerable sum, but for a Cosmic Venerable One, the Primordial Units are basically just a string of numbers. Once you reach that level, you pursue other, more precious things."

After a moment of thought, Blood Rose King said, "Your second senior brother's guess is pretty much right. It should be one of these two situations. But either way, it's a sign of goodwill towards you. Although that powerful person didn't leave his name, if he really needs your help someday, it won't be easy for you to refuse when he brings it up."

"Senior brothers and sisters, now that you say that, Qingshan is relieved."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

"Haha, Qingshan... Don't be surprised. Although the human race is a mixed bag and there are undeniably some scoundrels, many Venerables still hope that the human race will become stronger. They often invest in some promising geniuses or take them as disciples. My second senior brother also invested in a few in his early years, but they all perished."

The Dragon Whale King shook his head, a look of defeat on his face.

"Your seventh senior sister is really lucky. She taught a disciple who was granted the title of King. In the endless years to come, she will have someone to help her. As for me..."

"Second Senior Brother, don't joke around. Xue Wei even envies your strength. Even the two of us who have been granted the title of King are no match for you."

Blood Rose King offered a word of comfort.

"Hehe." The Dragon Whale King shook his head: "My strength is nothing to brag about. Qingshan... Don't be fooled by your second senior brother's youthful appearance. In reality, most of the human race's Venerables are not as old as me. Over the endless years, one genius after another has surpassed me. I've become numb to it all. Qingshan might even surpass me in the future. The laws of space are too difficult. I really don't know when I will be able to fully comprehend them."

Lu Qingshan looked up and took a serious look at his second senior brother.

"What happened to Qingshan?"

The Dragon Whale King noticed Lu Qingshan's spiritual energy sweeping over him and asked curiously.

"Haha, I think Second Senior Brother is exceptionally talented and will surely become a powerful Universe Venerable in the future."

Lu Qingshan laughed heartily and brushed it off.

This is why Lu Qingshan doesn't check the immortal talents stronger than himself. If he scans them with his spiritual power, the other party will find out... For many powerful people, this is a very impolite act.

However, Lu Qingshan has just discovered the potential of his second senior brother.

Name: Dragon Whale King

Age: Cannot be calculated

[Level: Peak of Kingship]

[Rating: Second-rate genius, 1000x base return (cannot take on apprentices)]

These data contain many aspects that exceed Lu Qingshan's current understanding of cheat codes. For example, the age is incalculable... Previously, cheat codes were measured in cosmic years, but this second senior brother, the Dragon Whale King, has probably lived for countless epochs and can no longer be measured in cosmic years.

As for the levels, they are easy to understand. There are only three levels of Kingship: Beginner Kingship, Advanced Kingship, and Peak Kingship.

As for those at the limit of the King-level, approaching the invincible King-level, or the invincible King-level... these are not part of the orthodox ranking system. It's just that a very small number of King-level powerhouses rely on gene multiplication, psychic power amplitude, physical amplitude, and powerful treasures to further enhance their abilities, far surpassing the average peak King-level. However, this situation is extremely rare, so it is not within the scope of the orthodox strength classification.

As for the last one, he cannot accept apprentices.

Lu Qingshan guessed that perhaps the other party's strength and realm were far superior to his own, and therefore did not meet the requirements for accepting a disciple.

Of course, even if it met the criteria, Lu Qingshan could not accept such a strong person as a disciple. The situation where the teacher is weaker than the disciple is not uncommon in the primitive universe, but it is common. However, that is when the teacher takes on the disciple when the disciple is weak, and the disciple grows up and surpasses the teacher.

It is extremely rare to see a weak person take a strong person as their apprentice.

However, although the second senior brother has not been able to fully comprehend the fundamental laws of space even after countless years, his evaluation as a second-class genius still carries a sliver of hope for becoming a Venerable, and it is not impossible for him to become one in the future.
