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

Chapter 282 Master-Disciple Dialogue, Opportunity for Body Seizure

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom did not keep Lu Qingshan waiting for long.

In less than half a day, we arrived at the gate of Qingshan Residence.

"Teacher, you're too fast."

Upon hearing the news, Lu Qingshan personally came to the door to greet him.

"Isn't speed a good thing?" The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom followed him inside, looking around at the scenery.

"Qingshan, your little courtyard is nice, but it's a bit small. With your current abilities, applying for a larger residence shouldn't be a problem."

"No rush... It's just right for now. I'll apply again when I feel it's not enough..."

The two walked to the hall.

Lu Qingshan took out the food and wine he had prepared.

"Qingshan...didn't you say drinking leads to trouble? Why are you still drinking? What law have you figured out?"

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom asked curiously.

"The Law of Lightning".

Lu Qingshan smiled, poured a full cup of wine for the King of Qianwu, and then said, "Master, I have called you here today to discuss something."

As he spoke, he took out a large piece of Ice Prison Star Stone.

"This is a return gift from Venerable Qingou Kou to our teacher."

Lu Qingshan pushed the Ice Prison Star Stone toward the Qianwu Kingdom ruler.

This small piece of Ice Prison Star Stone is worth dozens of Treasure Points, which is a considerable income for the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom.

If a venerable one is pressing for payment, giving this to them can at least alleviate the situation.

"That old guy is quite generous."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at the Ice Prison Star Stone and shook his head, saying, "Qingshan, since it's a gift from Venerable Qingou Kou, you should accept it. He didn't take back the gift I gave to his disciple back then."

“It’s different.” Lu Qingshan shook his head: “If it were when you were generous, I would gladly accept it, but you are having a hard time now. How could I accept this gift? Don’t worry, I have gained a lot this time.”

"Qingshan... Sigh, since you put it that way, I will accept it."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom is indeed facing some difficulties.

Only after Lu Qingshan insisted did they take back the Ice Prison Star Stone.

"Qingshan, do you know what the Ice Prison Star Stone is used for?"

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom asked.

"This disciple does not know, but I have seen it once at a high-end auction, and it is quite valuable."

Lu Qingshan recalled the scene of attending the auction before.

When he was on Ice Prison Star, he had Nasus search for the Ice Prison Star Stone, but it couldn't be found. Clearly, the Virtual Universe Company blocks such resources from geniuses.

The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom said, "Only the Zikou clan at the Immortal God realm can create Ice Prison Star Stones, and even then, they can only accumulate a tiny amount over countless years. Such a large piece of Ice Prison Star Stone is probably the accumulated stock of the Zikou clan for who knows how many years. Even a tiny bit of this thing, if integrated into the divine body, can serve as a treasure to resist soul attacks. It may not be considered a top-tier treasure, but it is still extremely precious... Once integrated into this Ice Prison Star Stone, when someone's soul attack enters the divine body, they will feel as if their soul is frozen. They might end up losing more than they gain..."

"No wonder it's so precious..." Lu Qingshan was astonished. Soul defense treasures are usually extremely valuable among treasures. Although this Ice Prison Star Stone is not as valuable as a treasure, it has the ability to resist soul attacks. Its effect is too incredible.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom continued, "Small quantities of Ice Prison Star Stones are generally used in combination. Larger quantities, like this one you have, can be combined with other materials to forge a powerful soul defense artifact... Although it's only a portion of the materials, if someone urgently needs it, they might pay a premium. Qingshan, now that you know the uses and price of this Ice Prison Star Stone, do you regret it?"

"Haha, what's there to regret? This thing is of no use to me anyway."

Lu Qingshan smiled and then asked, "What about the Ice Prison Dew?"

"Only Qing Gou Kou, who is at the level of an immortal god, can create Ice Prison Dew. It is not a material for refining heavy treasures, but it is an extremely precious material for assisting in the cultivation of body vibration secret techniques. Its value is slightly lower than that of Ice Prison Star Stone, but it is still very expensive."

"That's what the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom said."

"Oh I got it."

A hint of eagerness flashed in Lu Qingshan's eyes.

I wonder if this Ice Prison Dew will help me cultivate the fifth level of the Time Body?
Even if there isn't a cashback, the treasures you receive will definitely be helpful.

Lu Qingshan kept this in mind, and thought he might have to go to Ice Prison Star again in the future to exchange for some Ice Prison Dew.

"Teacher... The main reason I called you to the Initial Universe this time is to ask you to help me exchange for the qualification to possess a special life form at the World Lord level."

Lu Qingshan said slowly.

"Hmm?" The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was slightly surprised: "Qingshan, your body's genetic multiplier should not be much worse than some special life forms, right? Possession is risky, and besides, if you do possess someone, your cultivation talent may not be able to improve."

“Teacher, what are you thinking? I just want to give my only son, Lu Lingxiao, a chance. His aptitude is too average. It is extremely difficult for him to break through to the Immortal God realm. I want to buy a spot so that he can possess another body. This way, his chances of breaking through to Immortality in the future will be greatly increased. And in the future, countless epochs later, he will have a family member by my side.”

Lu Qingshan began to explain.

"This..." The Qianwu Kingdom Lord frowned slightly: "Qingshan, I know your son's talent. It's similar to my seventh son. Even without precious body-snatching resources, he still has a chance to break through. After all, there are many treasures that can assist in cultivation, and their value is worlds apart from that of body-snatching special life forms... That qualification is too precious. You should save your current resources to improve your own strength."

"Teacher, is this precious treasure enough?"

Lu Qingshan took out the Purple Bell.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom looked at it and shook his head, saying, "I cannot judge the exact value of your treasure, but I estimate it is not enough. There are very few remaining opportunities for possession among humans. They are generally reserved for peerless geniuses. If you buy it for yourself, you may get a discount. But if you buy it for your son, you can only pay the original price without a discount, and you may even have to pay a premium. Moreover, there are not many remaining opportunities, and the price of each item varies greatly."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom actually wanted to persuade his disciple to give up.

Valuing family ties is a good thing, but focusing too much on them can be detrimental. It can become a weakness and hinder one's cultivation progress.

not enough?

Lu Qingshan was already prepared. He took out a hexagonal metal plaque and asked, "Teacher, what about this?" "This is..." The King of Qianwu Kingdom suddenly stood up, looking at the metal plaque with great surprise.

"The Golden Void Beast God Inheritance Token. That Heavenly Wolf of the Demon Clan said this thing is comparable to a supreme treasure. I'm not quite sure of its value, but it's definitely much more precious than a major treasure."

Lu Qingshan recounted in detail how he obtained the Beast God's Inheritance Token in the Ice Prison.

Of course, he replaced the Earth Void Beast God Inheritance Token he obtained with the Golden Void Beast God Inheritance Token in front of him.

As long as that wolf doesn't die and come back to life, there's no way to find out anything. Even if it were lucky enough to be resurrected, the human race wouldn't believe it if it were just a demon.

Besides, no matter how many there are, they are all gains for him. With the Lord of Chaos City and his teacher protecting him, there is absolutely no need to worry.

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom picked up the inheritance token and examined it carefully. He probed into it with his consciousness and confirmed that the token was real.

He exclaimed, "Qingshan, you're incredibly lucky. I'm afraid even Venerable Qingou Kou doesn't know that the Heavenly Wolf is hiding this thing. Otherwise, he would have already snatched it away. This thing is extremely valuable... more than enough to exchange for another body-snatching opportunity. But are you really willing to do that?"

“Master, what use is this inheritance token to me who walks the path of time and space? Even if I sell it to the clan, I will not suffer any loss.”

"But you want to exchange for that special life possession opportunity... Fine, it's your chance anyway, I'll go check it out for you."

Lu Qingshan lacked sufficient authority, but it was still quite easy for the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom to view this information.

Soon, the ruler of Qianwu Kingdom had done the search.

"Your son specializes in the metal element law. I took a look, and in the clan's treasure trove, there are six metal-type special life forms that can be possessed at the realm lord level. I've sent them all to you. Take a look, and then destroy them..."

"is teacher."

Lu Qingshan quickly entered the virtual universe to take a look.

"The Void Devouring Gold Beast?"

With a 70-fold increase in genetic value, growth requires the consumption of large amounts of metal.

This is acceptable. The gene multiplication rate is up to standard, and absorbing metal is also easy. It just consumes some resources.

However, it looked rather pathetic. This Void Devouring Gold Beast was completely like a wild beast, with four hooves and golden scales on its back.

Lu Qingshan's ideal life form was actually the Kou tribe, at least in human form. After all, the human race itself is full of strange and wonderful creatures, and if it doesn't even resemble humans, it would be too ugly.

He continued to look down.

"Golden Giant Python".

This thing is even more creepy; it's practically like a demon.

Lu Qingshan first ruled out appearance.

His own One-Horned Ghost King was ugly enough, but at least it had hands and feet, so it could barely be considered human. That was fine for a clone, but Lu Lingxiao wanted to possess it himself, which was equivalent to completely changing his body.

Star Ant Queen?

???

Lu Qingshan glanced at them and found that most of them were not suitable, but the last one brought him some surprises.

"The Illusionary Gold Spirit... its body is composed of molten gold liquid, and it can change its form at will... its innate secret technique, the Clone Technique... can create clones like those of the Snow Demon Clan."

"this is not bad!"

Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up slightly.

This Phantom Golden Spirit has no form, but it can take any form; maintaining a human form is naturally not a problem at all.

Like a liquid metal robot, it can change its appearance at will. After Lu Lingxiao possessed it, it could even maintain its current appearance.

This thing's gene multiplier isn't high, only 50 times, but its survival ability is extremely strong. When going out to explore, it can use the clone technique to create clones to detect dangers. As long as it's not directly killed by the soul, even if the main body is destroyed, any clone can regenerate.

With this item, and just one more soul defense treasure, it's almost impossible to be killed by someone of the same level.

"this one!"

After Lu Qingshan finished making his selection, he informed the ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom.

"Qingshan, this Illusionary Gold Spirit is quite good... but it's not cheap. It costs 1400 Treasure Points, which is roughly equivalent to half the value of your Beast God Inheritance Token."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom still felt some regret.

"Teacher, please help me exchange it." Lu Qingshan thought for a moment, then said, "I remember that Senior Brother Dragon Whale King seems to be following the path of the Beast God?"

"Yes, he follows the law of water and air fusion."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom nodded.

Lu Qingshan asked, "Teacher, if I don't take back the remaining half of the value, could I give this spot to Senior Brother Dragon Whale King?"

"Qingshan...how could you have such a thought? Even if this inheritance token is worth only half its value..."

The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was shocked.

“Teacher, back in the Qianwu Secret Realm, you once told your disciple that you originally planned to have Second Senior Brother make this trip.” Lu Qingshan smiled and said, “In a way, I’m taking advantage of Second Senior Brother’s opportunity. Besides, Second Senior Brother has treated me well over the years, so let’s try to give him the opportunity. If he breaks through to the Universe Venerable Realm, our Qianwu Sect will have a second Venerable!”

"Qingshan, you..." The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom was stunned.

My disciple is too sentimental.

He didn't even know what to say.

Finally, he sighed, "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't work, then let's just forget about it..."
