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

Chapter 371 What does Qianwu intend to do with the gift bestowed by the Lord of Chaos City?
The City Lord's Mansion in the Primordial Chaos City of the Universe.

While still in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom, Lu Qingshan received an email from the City Lord's Mansion, instructing him to visit the City Lord's Mansion upon his return. Therefore, after returning to the Initial Universe, Lu Qingshan came here immediately.

"Venerable Wanfa, congratulations on your breakthrough. Your teacher has been waiting inside for a long time."

The Venerable Guiyi, dressed in a long red robe and with a bald head, wore a smile.

"Thank you, Venerable Guiyi."

Lu Qingshan nodded before stepping into the Chaos Ruins.

It's still a familiar scene.

Even now, as a cosmic venerable being, he still felt a sense of unease upon arriving in this space. It was as if everything here was out of his control, and he seemed to have no secrets in this space.

After Lu Qingshan entered, the Chaos City Lord, dressed in crimson armor, turned around.

"Lu Qingshan, congratulations on becoming a Universe Venerable."

"Qingshan only managed to comprehend the concept of time by sheer luck, and I am grateful for the care he has received from the city lord all this time."

Lu Qingshan bowed sincerely.

"Becoming a Universe Venerable is no accident," the Chaos City Lord said calmly. "Although I was certain you would reach this point, I didn't expect you to break through so quickly. Venerable of Ten Thousand Laws... In countless eras of the human race, apart from that person, your speed of progress is undoubtedly the fastest."

"You flatter me, City Lord. I am ashamed."

Lu Qingshan naturally knew who the Lord of Chaos City was referring to, but he pretended not to know.

"Venerable Wanfa, you should have read all the emails the company sent you. Every human Universe Venerable who breaks through has a quota of 100 Treasure Points. You can choose any treasure within your authority. In addition... because you have exceptional talent and are a rare genius among humans, I have discussed with several Universe Lords and we plan to bestow an extra reward upon you."

While talking.

With a wave of his hand, the Lord of Chaos City summoned a suit of armor, entirely purple and covered in mysterious patterns, which floated in front of Lu Qingshan.

The armor is made up of individual scales, making it look like fish scales.

The Chaos City Lord glanced at the armor and said, "This is the Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor, made from the scales of a naturally born beast god. It is extremely valuable and is a high-grade treasure armor, which is just right for you. You can take it."

"Thank you for your kindness, Lord City Lord."

Lu Qingshan quickly bowed before carefully accepting the armor.

The Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor, judging from its name, is probably armor categorized under the fundamental laws of lightning and time, which is perfect for his use. The key is that it is a high-grade treasure armor, and most cosmic overlords probably don't even have such good treatment.

"Although this armor is a high-grade treasure, it is already considered quite good among high-grade treasures. Go back and study it carefully, and comprehend the secret runes on it. It can protect your safety."

Before Lu Qingshan could reply, the Lord of Chaos City continued.

"You are already a Universe Venerable. I have already granted you access to the Human Race Treasury. From now on, you will only need to submit an application to enter the Human Race Treasury. The Treasury is located in the side hall of the City Lord's Mansion. You can go and take a look in a while. No application is required for your first entry."

"Yes, City Lord."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

Access to the Human Race Treasury is extremely valuable, as it contains the most exquisite treasures of the human race. If he had had access back then, he wouldn't have needed his teacher, the Qianwu Kingdom Lord, to help him exchange for the Illusionary Gold Spirit.

With the cashback program for disciples, he'll surely accumulate a lot of useless treasures in the future. With such a platform, he can easily convert these useless treasures into valuable or supreme treasures that suit him...

"Venerable Wanfa and Venerable Yuzhou are already top-tier experts of the human race. While enjoying the respect of the human race, they also have the responsibility to protect their territory and contribute to the development of the human race. I have sent you many tasks in your mailbox. You can choose one and make some contributions to the human race without delaying your own cultivation."

Lu Qingshan was not surprised.

Let alone ordinary cosmic venerables like the Lord of the Heavenly Eclipse Palace and the Lord of the Star Prison Demon, even top cosmic overlords have places they need to guard, let alone others.

However, the task of the Universe Venerable is very easy. Generally speaking, as long as he is in a certain place, he is a huge deterrent. He can hand over some trivial matters to his subordinates to complete, and he has plenty of time to cultivate.

Lu Qingshan took a look.

Having found one that seemed suitable, he said, "Lord, I choose to cultivate geniuses for the human race in the initial universe."

"Yes, you can submit the task yourself. You just need to give a lecture once per era as required, and you will also receive corresponding points rewards."

The Lord of Chaos City seemed to have already guessed that Lu Qingshan would choose this task.

He waved his hand and said, "I've told you everything I needed to. You may leave now."

"Yes, City Lord."

Lu Qingshan nodded and turned to leave.

Within the Chaos Ruins, the Chaos City Lord looked in the direction where Lu Qingshan had disappeared and revealed a slight smile.

"Lu Qingshan did indeed choose this mission."

The teaching task did not originally exist; it was added by the Lord of Chaos City himself. For other cosmic venerables, teaching is a waste of their talents; they would rather stay and oversee a region, at most taking on a few disciples to train, which would be considered quite good.

But Lu Qingshan is different. Judging from the performance of the disciples he has trained, teaching is his forte, where he can truly unleash his talents.

The key point is that the Lord of Chaos City also sensed that Lu Qingshan didn't seem interested in taking charge of a region.

Lu Qingshan is too steady... so steady that he seems like an old man who has lived for countless years, which is not the personality of a top genius at all.

Logically speaking, it would be difficult to become a strong person under such circumstances, but Lu Qingshan cannot be judged by common sense. He has already proven with his strength that there is no problem with doing so. His progress is still rapid, and he has even broken the record for the fastest human to become a Universe Venerable.

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat curious: could Lu Qingshan really continue to cultivate in seclusion like this and become the Lord of the Universe?
Perhaps... it doesn't necessarily mean complete seclusion.

The Lord of Chaos recalled the scene when Lu Qingshan broke through to become an immortal god in the Primal Secret Realm.

"Lu Qingshan should have a special life form with a huge size. Perhaps his clone has been wandering in the outside world, but others are unaware of it."

This secret was known only to him, and the Lord of Chaos City naturally wouldn't say more.

What if I guessed wrong?

Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?

The primordial universe was so vast that even the strongest being in the universe dared not claim to know everything, let alone someone who was merely a universe lord.

But regardless, Lu Qingshan is a disciple of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler, a true human being... that's enough.

Dry Witch...

When the Lord of Chaos thought of this name, he also looked up some information about the other party.

"The ruler of Qianwu Kingdom commissioned the forging of a custom-made, precious armor? And he's going around exchanging precious treasures with others. What is he trying to do?"

The Lord of Chaos City was somewhat curious.

Could it be that with two disciples breaking through to become Universe Venerables in succession, Qianwu can't resist going out to make his own way in the world?

……

Outside an ancient side hall in Chaos City.

“Venerable Wanfa, the treasure vault is right here. I will not enter without an application.”

Venerable Guiyi pointed to the bronze gate in front of him.

"Thank you for leading the way, Venerable Guiyi," Lu Qingshan said politely.

"Venerable Wanfa, you're too kind. Go ahead. You can see many treasures of the human race inside. Since this is your first time entering, don't be overwhelmed by the choices," Venerable Guiyi said with a smile.

"Just 100 treasure points, probably not."

Lu Qingshan nodded and walked towards the gate. After recognizing his identity, the hundred-meter-high bronze gate slowly opened with a rumbling sound.

After Lu Qingshan stepped inside, the door slammed shut again with a loud bang.

"Is this the treasure trove of our tribe?"

The entire space was empty, with only a huge millstone with a diameter of 100 meters in front of them.

As Lu Qingshan walked to the millstone, a gentle voice reached his ears.

"You can place the treasures that need to be contributed on the stone plate."

"Try it first!"

As instructed, Lu Qingshan took out the Demonic Sound Fire God Bell and placed it in the center of the stone plate. He had never used this thing since he acquired it.

As soon as he placed it on, a beam of light enveloped the Demonic Sound Fire God Bell.

"Special type of treasure, combining defense and offense, with a recycling price of 89 treasure points. Lu Qingshan, would you like to contribute it to the clan?"

The gentle voice rang out again.

The recognition efficiency was so high that Lu Qingshan said no and took back the Demon Sound Vulcan Bell.

This wasn't a valuable item that came with a cashback offer, and there was still a chance to get a cashback, so Lu Qingshan decided to keep it for himself.

Then he took out the Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor that the Chaos City Lord had just given him and placed it on the stone plate.

The gentle voice rang out again.

"Purple Lightning Dragon Scale Armor, a high-grade treasure armor, has a recycling price of 49 treasure points. Lu Qingshan, could you contribute it to the clan?"

"no."

Lu Qingshan then put the armor back.

This armor was just bestowed upon him by the Lord of Chaos City. Selling it immediately would be a slap in the face to the other party. He was only asking about the price and had no intention of selling it. However, he was still somewhat surprised when he saw the price.

49 points of rare gems!
This is a huge asset. You have to understand that the Qianwu Kingdom's master was already struggling to breathe because he only owed four Treasure Points. And the Qianwu Kingdom's master is a High Venerable.

Among the thousands of human cosmic venerables, only a very small number possess supreme treasures. The vast majority of high-level venerables do not possess supreme treasures... not to mention low-level and mid-level venerables, it is virtually impossible for them to possess supreme treasures.

As for cosmic overlords, they might possess one or more supreme treasures, while top cosmic overlords naturally possess even more supreme treasures.

Upon breaking through to the Cosmic Venerable realm, he was bestowed with a high-grade treasure armor, a treatment that is already considered extremely high for the human race.

Lu Qingshan tried the Soul Pearl again.

This soul defense treasure is only of ordinary top-grade level, worth 340 treasure points, which is still quite good.

"I want to examine the human treasury."

Lu Qingshan spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, a gray screen flew up from the center of the stone slab and appeared right in front of Lu Qingshan.

In the center of the gray screen, treasures are arranged according to their categories.

There are four categories in total.

Treasures, Supreme Treasures, Materials, and Special Resources.

"View the Treasures category."

As Lu Qingshan spoke, the text on the gray screen scrolled, revealing the next level of the directory.

There are also several categories: ordinary treasures, high-grade treasures, top-grade treasures, peak treasures, and supreme treasures.

However, among the five categories in front of him, only the first two categories, Common Treasures and High-Grade Treasures, were lit up; the other three were grayed out and could not be accessed.

In other words, Lu Qingshan's current authority only allows him to view treasures of high-grade level and below.

Lu Qingshan looked at the category of supreme treasures.

The human race doesn't actually have any supreme treasures, yet they created this category; it's probably just for aesthetic purposes.

Lu Qingshan briefly reviewed the value of this treasure.

Ordinary Arcana weapons are extremely cheap, with the lowest costing only 0.8 Arcana Points and the highest only 8.

High-grade treasure weapons require a minimum of 8 treasure points and a maximum of 30 points.

Of course, these are the values ​​of the treasures stored in the human race's treasury. If the human race does not have any supreme treasures, they will not be included. The range is only a rough estimate and may exceed the upper or lower limit.

High-grade treasure armor!

Lu Qingshan specifically checked the value of the high-grade treasure armor and found that in the human race's treasury, the lowest-priced high-grade treasure armor required 16 treasure points, while the highest-priced high-grade treasure armor required 60 treasure points.

The value of a treasure armor is roughly twice that of a treasure weapon.

The high-grade treasure armor that Lu Qingshan just acquired has a recycling price of 49 treasure points. If he were to buy it, it would definitely cost more than 50 treasure points. It seems that the Chaos City Lord was not lying. This treasure armor is an extremely excellent existence among high-grade treasure armors, at least in the human race's treasury.

Lu Qingshan browsed through the treasures at lightning speed, memorizing their functions and values.

He was dazzled by the sheer number of treasures he saw.

In particular, those flying palace-type treasures, domain-type treasures, and soul defense-type treasures are extremely valuable. Even ordinary treasures require at least a dozen points, and some require hundreds of points.

Due to their extremely high value, Lu Qingshan could only see the ordinary level of these three categories of treasures, and only a small portion of the high-level treasures.

After examining the supreme treasure, Lu Qingshan checked the minor treasures again. The minor treasures were only divided into two categories: ordinary minor treasures and top-level minor treasures.

There were too many treasures to count, so Lu Qingshan had Nasus record them, while he focused on the domain-type treasures.

What he lacks most right now is a domain-type treasure; he doesn't have a single one... He plans to use the 100 treasure points bestowed upon him by his clan to purchase a domain-type treasure.

A common-level treasure could be given to a disciple as a cashback reward, which would be enough for him to use.

"Just this one!"

Lu Qingshan's gaze fell on an ordinary domain-type treasure worth exactly 100 treasure points.

Among the many common treasures in various fields, this treasure only ranks in the middle.

Lu Qingshan bought it mainly because of its attributes.

"Sinking Rock Sand Hourglass!"

Earth-attribute domain-type common heavy treasure, capable of releasing a sand domain spanning tens of millions of kilometers, suppressing the opponent's speed and power in battle.
