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

Chapter 79 Lingxi Becomes a Disciple
"Yes, I'm wanted by the police..."

Lu Qingshan looked at the wanted poster Nasus pulled up, then shook his head: "Looks like I'm not wanted again..."

This wanted poster only shows the image of a man in armor, with only his eyes visible. There's not even a name on it. What kind of wanted poster is this?

"However, Shang Jie is in trouble. His appearance has been drawn very clearly. I should have made him wear armor too!"

In Lingyu's manor on Fenglei Island, Lu Qingshan lay under a tree, leisurely watching the news on the virtual network.

The Lingyu sisters hid to one side, whispering to each other, glancing at Lu Qingshan from time to time, as if afraid of being discovered.

"Khunsaro is truly helpless. So what if he is an immortal god? Without an avatar, he can only protect one place at most. With my Ghost King avatar outside, the Treasure Pavilion can forget about continuing its business."

Lu Qingshan holds grudges.

Since he didn't have the authority to transact directly with banks, he chose Treasure Pavilion with the intention of retaliating if they dared to covet his treasures.

He originally planned to wait until he became immortal, or had strength comparable to immortality, before taking action. However, the appearance of the Ghost King's clone gave him the ability to take revenge ahead of time.

“Nasus, take a look at the stock of the Jewel Pavilion.”

The virtual screen redirected to the stock page, and Treasure Pavilion's stock, which had remained steadfast for tens of thousands of years, suddenly plummeted...

The green color is heartbreaking...

It only dropped by 7%, so it seems that Treasure Pavilion is still trying to support the price.

With a 7% drop, Lu Qingshan, having leveraged his account, had a principal of 100 Hunyuan units, and earned 7 Hunyuan units in one go.

Moreover, this is just the beginning.

Lu Qingshan did not intend to stop because of this success. His Ghost King clone and Shang Jie had already begun planning their next operation.

"Teacher, what are you looking at so happily?"

Lu Qingshan looked up and saw the two sisters, Lingyu and Lingxi, standing in front of him.

Lingxi was also holding a plate of pastries.

"I'm looking at Treasure Pavilion's stock. It's down 7%, hahaha. If you guys have the money, you can buy some, but make sure to go short, don't get it wrong!"

Lu Qingshan laughed heartily, looking very happy.

The two sisters, Lingyu and Lingxi, were aware of the conflict between Teacher Lu and the Treasure Pavilion. Now that the Treasure Pavilion was in trouble, they were happy for it...

"Really, teacher? You can make money from it?"

Hearing that it could make money, Lingxi's big eyes were already shining.

"Yes, there's a 98% chance of making a profit. Treasure Pavilion offended a ruthless person and is now being severely retaliated against. They're only managing to stabilize the situation by trying their best to protect the stock price, but they won't be able to hold on for long!"

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down. Not to mention that Lu Qingshan still intends to continue his actions, even if he doesn't care, those financial giants who have been looking for opportunities in the virtual universe, as well as those individual investors, such as Luo Feng's younger brother Luo Hua, will definitely be able to see this opportunity. Once they enter the market, Treasure Pavilion simply cannot withstand it!
"Then I'll go buy some right away. I've never bought stocks before," Lingxi said excitedly.

Lingyu glared at her: "Stocks are very risky, don't buy randomly. Just do as the teacher said and buy short Zhenbaoge."

"Hmm, I don't really know how, just let Xiaoxi help me with it."

Lingxi disconnected for a while, seemingly to buy stocks. When she returned, she placed the pastries she was carrying on the table next to Lu Qingshan.

"Teacher, please try my cooking."

"Ah."

Lu Qingshan picked up a piece of pastry and took a bite.

To be honest, it tasted really good. Even though Lu Qingshan didn't like sweets, he still found the pastry delicious.

"Teacher..." Lingxi seemed both excited and apprehensive, glancing furtively at her older sister. After receiving an encouraging look from her sister, Lingyu, she said, "Teacher, I want to become your disciple..."

So that's what they were discussing...

Ling Xi was also recognized by the system as a third-class genius, so Lu Qingshan certainly wouldn't refuse her. However, he wasn't in a hurry and said with a smile, "Have you practiced 'Lightning Flash'?"

"Teacher, I have already mastered the second level of Lightning Flash."

As she spoke, Lingxi moved, and three illusory forms appeared on her body.

This level is comparable to Lu Qingshan's eldest disciple, Lei Ming, but still a bit behind Paris. Paris has a good talent for lightning flash and has already reached the level of the Five Illusionary Body.

Without even guessing, Lu Qingshan knew that Lingyu had given this younger sister special tutoring.

Of course, this has nothing to do with him.

"Yes, Not Bad……"

"Teacher, you agreed?"

Several illusory forms merged into one, and Lingxi asked anxiously.

"Didn't you already call me teacher?"

“That…that’s different. I want to be your real disciple.” Lingxi said anxiously.

Lingyu sighed, lamenting her younger sister's foolishness. She said, "The teacher has already agreed to your request."

"Really? Is the teacher really there?"

"Really, I promise you. Consider it payment for eating your pastries."

Lu Qingshan made his point clear this time.

"Yay!" Lingxi jumped up happily, hugged her sister Lingyu, and shouted, "Sister, I did it!"

"The teacher is still here, be more composed."

Lingyu pushed her away, then bowed sincerely to Lu Qingshan and said, "Teacher, Lingxi is my only family. She is innocent and kind-hearted, and naive. I am about to participate in the Genius Battle at the headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company, and Lingxi is the only one I am worried about... In the future, with you taking care of Lingxi, I will have no more worries..."

“Lingxi is very sensible and doesn’t need me to take care of her much. She’s been taking care of me these past few days. Her cooking is delicious. Even if you wanted to take her away, I would be reluctant to part with her…”

Lu Qingshan looked at Lingxi and praised her.

"Hehe, sister... don't worry, I will take good care of the teacher."

Lingyu shook her head and said nothing more.

Her teacher was the most composed person she had ever met in her life. Even when faced with the threat of an immortal god, he remained unmoved. Lingxi felt very at ease with her teacher by her side...

Next, she can wholeheartedly participate in the battle of geniuses, becoming a powerful figure step by step in the core of the virtual universe, and finally...

Memories flooded back. Lingxi was too young to remember them, but Lingyu would never forget them.

She must become strong, she absolutely must!

As Lu Qingshan had guessed, although the Treasure Pavilion incident only stayed on the trending topics list for less than a day, it had already spread everywhere, and it was impossible to eliminate its impact.

As short sellers joined in, Treasure Pavilion's stock finally couldn't hold on and collapsed...

Eight percent...nine percent...just three days later, when Lu Qingshan checked again, it had already dropped by twenty-one percent.

Those who originally held Zhenbaoge stock, or bought it at a low price, sensed the beginning of the avalanche and frantically sold off their shares, gritting their teeth to cut their losses...

Leaving them now would only result in a small loss, but if they continue to hold onto the stocks, they could lose everything!
At this moment, the initial investment of 20 Hunyuan units by Lu Qingshan has doubled!
