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

Chapter 243 Equipment Change and Gene Enhancement

Inside Mansion No. 07.

With a broad smile, Jemin saw off the last powerful individual who came to collect the Law Rune Diagram.

"Jermin, that's impressive! How many people's contact information did you add this time?"

Seeing Jemin chatting and laughing with a group of powerful figures who had been granted the title of Marquis, Colin felt a little envious. However, he also knew that even if his teacher had given him this task, he wouldn't have been able to do what Jemin did.

"More than 3,000 people have basically joined."

Jemin had a big smile on his face.

"More than three thousand people! My God, Jemin, if you hold a banquet next time... won't you need several thousand more people?"

Colin was shocked.

As Jieming's good friends and fellow students, they all knew that Jieming loved making friends and often hosted parties!

As friends, they attended almost every party. The number of people who had personally experienced Jermyn's parties grew from a few to a dozen, and now it was approaching a hundred. The thought of hosting a party with thousands of people in the future gave Colin a chill down his spine.

With so many people, if each one says something, it'll probably be complete chaos.

"Jermin, you're amazing! Among us, you have the widest network of connections right now..."

"It's as if I wasn't the one with the widest network of connections before."

Jemin shook his head and continued.

"Actually, I'm just a nobody. If it weren't for my teacher's sake, let alone those noble immortals, even those high-ranking military lords might not even look at me. Their enthusiasm for me is entirely because of my teacher..."

While talking.

Jemin looked at the email in his inbox and said in surprise, "My teacher just emailed me, asking us to go to his Green Mountain Residence together."

"The teacher wants us to go over there? Then let's hurry up and go."

Do you know where Qingshanju is?

"I don't know, but we should be able to find out by asking."

……

About half an hour later, Jemin and his companions arrived at the gate of Green Mountain Residence. After obtaining Nasus's permission, they went inside.

"Meet the teacher."

The group quickly bowed.

Lu Qingshan looked at his disciples, smiled faintly, and said, "Did you gain anything from today's lecture?"

The group exchanged glances, their faces showing embarrassment. Finally, Jemin stepped forward and said, "Teacher, we are too slow. We only understood a little bit at the beginning, and we didn't understand anything after that. But we have written it all down and plan to study it carefully when we get back."

“Hmm.” Lu Qingshan was not surprised: “You have just broken through to the Immortal God realm, and your understanding of the higher laws is too shallow. It’s normal that you don’t understand. I forgot to send you a basic version of the spatial law runes last time. I’ll have Luo give you a copy when we get back.”

"Thank you teacher."

They all breathed a sigh of relief; they had been worried that they were too stupid and would disappoint their teacher.

It seems everything is going according to the teacher's plan.

"It's normal for progress to be slow after breaking through to the Immortal God level. Your master can only provide you with some conveniences. You still need to work hard on your own to comprehend the laws."

Lu Qingshan spoke calmly, and as he spoke, he took out a suit of armor.

"Jeming, this armor worn by the immortal god is yours."

"Teacher... thank you, teacher."

Jemin quickly bowed before putting away his armor.

Newly promoted immortal gods are basically penniless. Even if the virtual universe company offers good benefits, it still takes a long time to accumulate wealth.

But not long after, his teacher bestowed upon him two immortal divine weapons. He hadn't taken out the hammer before because he was afraid that Colin and the others would be jealous.

Even the worst immortal weapons require tens of thousands of Chaos Units, making them extremely precious to them. Not to mention the excellent top-tier equipment that the teacher brings out.

"Colin, this water halberd is perfect for you..."

"Thank you, teacher."

Colin thanked him profusely.

"Yanshan, you can take this knife."

"Mu Yu, take this wood-attribute telekinetic weapon, the Divine Wood Shuttle, and familiarize yourself with it."

……

Lu Qingshan summoned his disciples and bestowed upon each of them an immortal divine weapon that matched their attributes.

Even Bu Kai, who didn't come, was given a knife-shaped weapon by Lu Qingshan by Jieming.

Some of these items were spoils of war from Lu Qingshan's battles outside the region, while others were exchanged from the company's treasury. The prices were quite average, with the most expensive armor costing 13 points and the next most expensive telekinetic weapon costing 11 points.

These items are just right for a third-class disciple at the level of an ordinary immortal military lord. After a hundredfold return, they would probably be the weapons used by a king.

After receiving the cashback, Lu Qingshan placed all five King-level Divine Weapons into a world ring that he had already recognized as his master.

Then, Femore Venom, some Fountain of Life, two detectors, and the strongest Vulcan Source Crystal were placed inside.

Then he called Jemin over and asked him to deliver these things to the designated location, warning him not to tell anyone.

The items here are naturally prepared for the Ghost King's clone.

Lu Qingshan planned to live in Chaos City for a long time. The Femo Venom, the strongest Vulcan Source Crystal, and the detector were basically useless.

The weapons that were returned were all of impeccable origin and were highly valuable divine weapons of the King. Even if the Ghost King's clone couldn't use them and sold them, he wouldn't be traced back to him.

The Femo Venom, the strongest Vulcan Source Crystal, is meant to protect the Ghost King's clone. After all, the Ghost King's clone is in far greater danger than the real Ghost King. If it weren't for the fact that the Ghost Moon Blade was bestowed upon him by the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler and its distinctive features were too obvious, Lu Qingshan would have already given the Ghost Moon Blade to the Ghost King's clone as well.

In addition to these, there are a total of one hundred Blood Crystals!

The World Ring bears Lu Qingshan's spiritual imprint, so there's no need to worry about Jieming checking it. Lu Qingshan trusts his disciples quite a bit.

……

Six months later, the Ghost King's clone, disguised as an old human man, retrieved the treasures that his true self had given him from the core of a planet.

Then, the divine kingdom teleported them to an extremely remote place to investigate.

First, there are a few pieces of equipment.

"Thunder Prison Meteor Armor!"

After recognizing the armor as its master, information about it appeared in the Ghost King's mind. After these things were returned, the original body did not examine them carefully and put them all into the World Ring, which was then taken out by Jemin.

"Indeed, it is a top-grade armor used by those who have achieved the rank of King and Immortal."

The Ghost King's clone's eyes lit up, and he put on the armor, discarding the ordinary armor he had worn before.

"With such armor, even the material attacks of a King-level Immortal are basically no threat to me. Not bad, not bad!"

The Thunder Prison Meteor Armor was flashing with lightning, making it quite conspicuous. Lu Qingshan concealed the lightning, making it look much more ordinary, with a dusty gray appearance, similar to the camouflage he wore on the extraterrestrial battlefield.

The Ghost King's clone then examined the other treasures.

Flame Blade!

This is the cashback for the battle sword bestowed upon Yan Shan. It is also a powerful King-level battle sword, but the difference in attributes is too great. It is not easy for the Ghost King clone to use. It can be contributed to the Nine Domains Alliance in exchange for a weapon that is more suitable for him.

Wind and Thunder Blade!

This one is alright, I can manage to use it.

The Ghost King's clones examined each treasure, recognizing it as their owner.

They found that most of the items, except for the armor, were not very suitable, but the Wind and Thunder Blade was barely usable.

With a suit of armor that would be of the highest quality even for a King-level expert, a sword-shaped King-level divine weapon, the defenses of the Soul Palace, and the comprehension of the laws at the peak of the King-level realm, the Ghost King clone felt that even if he encountered a true King-level expert, he would not be threatened.

Unless it's an invincible king or a powerful king at the limit, his ghost king clone can easily escape.

"I should go back to the Nine Domains Alliance territory and see who was following me last time, and then get my hands on that treasure that Baffin mentioned."

During his conversation with Baffin in the Tongtian Bridge plane, Lu Qingshan learned that in the Nine Domains Alliance, besides the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma, there was an even more precious treasure that could enhance gene levels, called Source Blood Crystal Sand... It was a treasure born in an extremely dangerous secret realm within the Nine Domains Alliance.

Using Source Blood Crystal Sand can increase gene multipliers by 3 to 5 times, depending on the user's compatibility. Of course, there are also restrictions on its use. Like the previous Blood and Flesh Ganoderma, it can only be used if the gene multiplier is less than 10 times.

Of course, without these numerous restrictions, these treasures would be extremely precious even to a cosmic venerable, and would never be released for others to purchase.

Just like the blood of the Beast God of the human race, with a hundredfold increase in genes, using the blood of the Beast God can enhance one's abilities. This thing is the Hong Alliance's top secret resource, strictly forbidden from being leaked. Even ordinary Universe Venerables dare not take it out to trade with others.

This thing... is only brought out for trade with other groups during strategic resource exchanges.

"Origin Blood Crystal Sand only appears at the Nine Domains Alliance Auction. The auction is held at an unpredictable time and is only announced in the City of Glory of the Nine Domains. It seems I need to return to the territory of the Nine Domains Alliance to keep a close eye on this matter!"

Using the teleportation of the Star-Eating Grass Divine Kingdom, the Ghost King's clone reappeared in the Nine Domains Alliance territory, in a void starry sky.

Upon arriving here, the Ghost King's clone took out the Glory City connector. Only by connecting to Glory City could one receive messages sent from it.

This thing is completely unusable within human territory!
While waiting for the auction, the Ghost King's clone arrived on a desolate planet, burrowed directly into the planet's underground at a depth of ten thousand meters, activated the detector given to him by his true self, and then took out the Blood Crystal to begin fusing with it.

"I already have fifty times the genetic potential. I wonder how many Blood Crystals I can fuse with?"

The Ghost King's clone skillfully slashed open his arm and placed the Blood Crystal on it.

There was almost no strong reaction, and the Blood Crystal fused successfully.

Although the laws did not match, the special talents of the Ghost King's clone, combined with the rich baleful aura of the One-Horned Ghost King and Lu Qingshan's peak King-level will, made it not difficult to fuse with the Blood Crystal.

Come again.

the second.

The third.

Soon, the ten Blood Crystals were absorbed into the Ghost King's body by his clone.

Black Warrior?
The expected Black Warrior did not appear.

The Ghost King's clone sensed the changes in his body's genes; ten Blood Crystals had only increased his genes by three times.

In other words, his current genetic level is 53 times higher.

It seems that the Ghost King's clone, which is fused with the Blood Crystal, is completely different from the human original, which is normal... The Ghost King's clone is much larger and has 50 times the genetic potential from the start, so it's already quite good that the Blood Crystal has any effect.

The golden-horned behemoth was even larger, and the Blood Crystal it needed to fuse with was even more exaggerated.

It can only fuse with certain body parts, such as claws, to enhance the strength of that individual part.

The Ghost King's clone continued to fuse, until it reached its limit, eventually fusing a total of 39 Blood Crystals, and its life genes ultimately reached 58 times.

The fusion of Blood Crystals became increasingly difficult, and sensing that his body was about to reach its limit, the Ghost King's clone collected the remaining Blood Crystals.

A 58-fold increase in genes is already quite good; in terms of the original universe's limit, it's only 42 times less.

If I can find a heaven-defying method like the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual in the future, with a foundation of a hundred times the genetic potential, I only need to cultivate it for two or three levels to probably reach the level of perfect genes directly.

He entered the City of Glory again to check the news, but instead of news about the auction, he saw an unexpected message.

"Find the leader of the Jinyan Clan, Jinyan name... Reward: 1000 million contribution points."
