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

Chapter 257 Taking on more disciples, fleecing others.
Lu Qingshan certainly didn't just randomly name names and give pointers.

Nan Hui was a second-rate genius and was the mentor that Lu Qingshan had found for Yang, which is why he took special care of him during lectures.

"Your problem isn't difficult at all, let me demonstrate..."

With a simple gesture, Lu Qingshan effortlessly demonstrated the essence of the laws of time that Nan Hui had failed to fully display.

He then pointed to the corresponding runes in the diagram of the behemoth of the fundamental laws of time and explained them one by one.

A hint of surprise flashed in Nan Hui's eyes upon receiving personal guidance from Lu Qingshan.

He had been stuck on this 106th fundamental law of time for a long time. During Master Qingshan's lecture, he tried to raise questions, and unexpectedly, he was actually selected.

So clear, so incredibly clear...

Nan Hui had never realized that analyzing the essence of the laws was so simple and clear.

The bottleneck that had trapped him for years shattered at this moment, and he finally saw the road ahead clearly.

Lu Qingshan finished his explanation.

Nan Hui knelt down to express his gratitude: "Master Qingshan's great kindness will never be forgotten by Nan Hui."

"Get up."

Lu Qingshan smiled slightly.

He then sent a telepathic message that only the other party could hear.

Nan Hui's eyes lit up with surprise. Master Qingshan actually wanted him to stay after his lecture!
Could it be because of the student I mentored?

Then he felt a little uneasy. Although he had given careful guidance, the realm lord was still a step short and had not been able to comprehend the fundamental laws of the wind element.

A thousand years have passed, and he has not completed the task assigned by Master Qingshan at all.

Seeing that even an immortal deity's problem was solved so easily, the others became even more excited.

They all looked at Lu Qingshan with expectant expressions in their eyes.

With so many people, Lu Qingshan certainly couldn't solve all their problems one by one; he could only pick and choose.

He looked at a creature with translucent, mist-like wings and said, "You will do."

"Your Majesty, my question is..."

After a while.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I understand completely now."

The alien was very excited.

The question he had been pondering had been lingering in his mind for a long time, and even his teacher couldn't answer it. But now, the King of Ten Thousand Dharmas had resolved it for him in just a few minutes.

A human race Grandmaster-level expert who has been granted the title of King is truly formidable!

These alien races basically only have one chance to come to Chaos City, so Lu Qingshan gave them more opportunities. After all, the more the students gained, the more their comprehension would improve. Such opportunities can only be taken once.

Then Lu Qingshan selected another alien race.

His problem was solved just as easily.

Time flies.

A month and a half passed in the blink of an eye. Lu Qingshan spent half a month lecturing, but a whole month answering questions.

Many geniuses from other races, including some geniuses from the human race, have received guidance from Lu Qingshan. Those who can be ranked are basically second-class geniuses.

"Alright, this lecture is over! Regarding the basic version of the Time Origin Law Mystic Beast Scroll, if you haven't claimed it yet, you can claim one in the virtual universe later."

After resolving the issue of a foreign realm lord, Lu Qingshan slowly stood up.

"Thank you for the lesson, Master Qingshan."

Everyone bowed in respect.

Even those alien realm lords who were attending the lecture for the first time all had very respectful expressions.

In this lesson, many of them had their cultivation problems resolved. Some, though not yet, remembered the solutions to the problems others encountered.

Everyone's problems are different, and this experience can serve as a valuable reference for the future.

Moreover, there is that precious scroll depicting a colossal beast, engraved with the secret patterns of laws.

That thing is definitely a precious treasure.

Master Qingshan actually gave it away for free.

This composure and demeanor of a master teacher are truly admirable.

Not long after, the others left after obtaining the Secret Rune Scroll, leaving only Nan Hui behind.

"I have met Master Qingshan."

Nan Hui bowed somewhat nervously.

“Nan Hui…please sit down, don’t be so formal.” Lu Qingshan sat down in front of Nan Hui.

"Yes."

Nan Hui slowly sat down.

"Nanhui, how is Yang, the one I asked you to recommend, doing lately?"

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

Nan Hui respectfully said, "Grandmaster Qingshan, Yang is very diligent in comprehending the laws, but his talent seems to be lacking, and his progress is not very fast. However, he still has two thousand years to comprehend, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

"Well, his talent is quite average, but he is a very good friend of mine, Nan Hui... I'll need to put more effort into the wind elemental laws."

"Grandmaster Qingshan has helped Nanhui so much, this little thing is nothing. I will definitely do my best to guide Yang so that he can comprehend the wind elemental laws as soon as possible." Nanhui quickly replied. "Mm."

Lu Qingshan nodded slightly before getting to the important matter of keeping Nan Hui behind. He asked, "Nan Hui, do you have a Grandmaster or a Universe Venerable as your teacher?"

Nan Hui was taken aback, then a huge surge of joy welled up in his heart, and he said in disbelief, "Grandmaster Qing... Grandmaster Qingshan, Nan Hui comes from a humble background. He only had one Immortal Military Lord as his teacher at the Domain Lord level, and no other teachers."

Lu Qingshan nodded; this was similar to the information he had found in the virtual universe.

Of course, the information obtained through inquiries cannot be completely trusted. After all, the data states that Rocco does not have an Immortal Teacher, but this is not actually the case.

"Nanhui, you have good talent and have embarked on the path of analyzing the fundamental laws of time. Now you have analyzed 106 essences of time, and I believe you will soon be able to comprehend all 108 essences. You may have the potential to be ennobled as a marquis or king in the future. Would you be willing to become my personal disciple?"

Upon hearing this, Nan Hui immediately knelt down and said, "Disciple Nan Hui greets Master."

"Good, good..." Lu Qingshan laughed heartily, helped Nan Hui up, and then said, "From now on, you will be my personal disciple. Your senior brothers and sisters are still very weak, so I won't introduce you to them now. Since you are my disciple, you can ask me for advice whenever you encounter problems in your cultivation. Only by comprehending the 108 essences of time as soon as possible can you go further and faster in the future."

"The disciple understands."

Nan Hui took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement. With a teacher like Master Qingshan, his future cultivation path would be much smoother.

Over the years, he had attended every lecture given by Master Qingshan and held Master Qingshan's talent and learning in high esteem!

Then Lu Qingshan took out a Time Source Pearl and said, "This thing has a slight effect on comprehending the laws of time. You can take it as a gift for today's apprenticeship ceremony."

"Thank you teacher."

Nan Hui accepted the gift and quickly expressed his gratitude.

"Go... and contemplate the laws of time. In the future, you won't need to waste your time attending my lessons on space."

To show respect, Nan Hui had never missed a single one of Lu Qingshan's lectures.

However, the course on spatial laws was completely meaningless to him, so Lu Qingshan didn't let him waste any more time.

Although the lecture time is short, the opportunity to comprehend the initial universe is precious and there is no need to waste it. Even a second-rate genius has a very small chance of becoming a universe venerable. As for cultivating in both space and time, that is a complete joke.

"This disciple understands. This disciple will take his leave."

"Ah."

Watching Nan Hui leave, Lu Qingshan also disappeared from Residence No. 07 in a flash.

After the master-disciple relationship was established, the gift given to Nanhui naturally resulted in a cash rebate.

[You bestow upon your disciple Nanhui the Time Source Pearl, receiving a thousandfold return; you also obtain the Time Compass.]

Lu Qingshan did not take out the Time Compass for the time being. He already had two of these things, so he naturally knew what they looked like and what their function was.

The reason Lu Qingshan was given the Time Source Pearl was for the Time Compass.

The two Time Compasses had already demonstrated their combined effect on the Ghost King's clone. The combined power of the two was comparable to that of three Time Compasses. If there were three, four... the power would definitely be even greater. These Time Compasses are not only powerful offensive treasures, but they are also of great help in cultivating the Time Body.

Previously, his body could not withstand the corrosive power, but now it's different. With an 80-fold increase in genetic power, he has surpassed many special life forms. Lu Qingshan is confident that he can cultivate the Time Body to a higher level.

……

The content of this lecture caused quite a stir among the alien races.

After learning that the King of Ten Thousand Dharmas had personally solved problems for many people and that the students who attended the lectures had been given precious scrolls of secret patterns, those alien races who had not attended the lectures were filled with regret and remorse.

As for those alien races who received the qualification for the basic course on spatial laws, they were all extremely excited and couldn't wait for the two years to pass quickly.

In the past two years, the names of Wanfawang and Qingshan Zongshi have been frequently heard among the alien races. Whenever a few alien races chat, they will basically talk about these things.

After all, everything in the Chaos City of the Initial Universe was so unfamiliar to them that there wasn't much to talk about.

It is foreseeable that once they return to their own race, the title of Green Mountain Grandmaster of the human race will spread throughout many races in the Hong Alliance.

The outside noise had no effect on Lu Qingshan. For the past two years, he had been preparing for his next lecture. The number of students studying the Fundamental Laws of Space would definitely be even greater. Even though it was just a basic tutorial, Lu Qingshan still prepared meticulously, striving for perfection!
Two years later, Lu Qingshan gave his second lecture.

The students who came to attend the class this time were even more outrageous.

There were a whopping 18,000 people!
Fortunately, the lecture square in Mansion No. 07 was large enough that even though there were some huge alien races among them, it would not affect other people's ability to listen to the lecture.

Lu Qingshan continued his lecture by giving a presentation first, and then allowed ample time for questions.

Because there were too many students, the Q&A session took up too much time and continued for three months before stopping.

This delighted many human geniuses and alien realm lords who came to listen to the lecture.

A grandmaster who has been granted the title of king and has been lecturing for three consecutive months?

They are practically impossible to find in Chaos City now.

Other grandmasters who were granted titles usually only lectured for three to five days.

After these two lectures, the alien realm lord had practically fleeced the genius.

Lu Qingshan gained a great deal; his comprehension improved by almost double compared to the beginning.

In other words, the effect of these two lectures is equivalent to the previous ten lectures.

Lu Qingshan was quite satisfied.

Just as he was preparing to cultivate the Body of Time, Nasus's voice came.

“Master, Lingyu is right outside the gate of Qingshan Residence.”

"Why isn't Lingyu with her sister at Yuxiang Mountain? Why has she come to the Initial Universe again?"

Lu Qingshan gave the instructions.

"Let her in!"
