Swallowing the Stars: Recruiting Apprentices and Getting Cash Back

Centered on the Zerg mother hive, Noranshan used his psychic powers to conduct a scan, primarily searching the underground areas.

"Found it!" Soon after, Nuolanshan felt his mental energy being pulled and devoured by an unknown substance, and immediately found what he wanted—a black metal plate the size of a palm.

It is pure black without any other colors, and its surface is as smooth as a mirror, but it cannot reflect light or project human images, just like a black hole that can devour everything.

That's right, it was the metal plate that Zuo Shanke refined with Heavenly Soul Crystal, which carried the Nine Tribulations Secret Scripture.

Nolanshan examined it but couldn't find any text on it; only an Earthling could unlock it.

Even if he could see the "Nine Tribulations Secret Manual," Nuolanshan would not cultivate it. Firstly, this manual was Luo Feng's opportunity and could only be cultivated by one person. Secondly, he wanted to give the manual to Luo Feng.

Hahaha.

Nuolanshan himself considered himself a genius, using Luo Feng's things to give to Luo Feng, and then receiving a thousandfold return in return.

Tsk tsk tsk, just thinking about it is awesome!

He couldn't even imagine what kind of surprises the Nine Tribulations Secret Manual would bring him after its thousandfold return.

Thinking about it this way, Nuolanshan couldn't help but want to return directly to Qiulong Star.

The owner called!

The owner called!

At that moment, Nuolanshan received a call request from an unknown number. The caller's name was "Jin Ke," who was his boss's boss. Nuolanshan still had the token that Jin Ke had given him in his world ring.

Nuolanshan hurriedly answered the phone and respectfully said, "Lord Jin Ke."

Besides Jin Ke, there was another person on the other side of the screen. He was a three-eyed human with long brown hair, wearing black battle armor.

The strangest thing was that Jin Ke, the realm lord, stood respectfully behind this person.

Nuolanshan's pupils contracted, realizing that this person must be an immortal powerhouse, an absolute high-ranking member of the Qianwu Dojo.

Jin Ke introduced Nuolanshan: "Nuolanshan, this is the Thirteen Divine Generals."

"Nolanshan pays his respects to the Thirteen Divine Generals." Nolanshan hurriedly bowed to the Thirteen Divine Generals.

"No need for formalities," the thirteen divine generals said kindly, and asked, "Where are you now, Nuolanshan? I haven't seen you on Qiulong Star."

What!

Upon hearing this, Nuolanshan was immediately shocked. This meant that this dignified Marquis-level Immortal had actually condescended to come to the Qiulong Star Dojo to find a mere Yiye Qianwu.

Although Nuolanshan knew that he was now exceptionally talented, he did not think he was so arrogant. After all, what he had shown outside was only the initial threshold of the Law of Gold, barely enough to qualify for joining the Qianwu Secret Realm.

Despite his shock, Nuolanshan quickly replied, "I'm currently handling business in Luofeng's hometown, and I'll be heading back immediately."

"No need to rush. If you have something to do, you can take care of it first. I'll be waiting for you on Qiulong Star." The thirteen generals were very approachable and considerate of their subordinates.

But the Lord of the Golden Realm behind him was stunned. This was my old leader, the Thirteen Divine Generals, known for his fiery temper and ruthless decisiveness!

No way, has he been possessed?

This is abnormal, extremely abnormal. What makes Nuolanshan so special? He's just a cosmic-level being who has just stepped into the threshold of the laws.

Jin Ke even started to feel jealous because he didn't have that kind of love.

The words of the thirteen generals also surprised Nuolanshan, who then said, "It's all done. I'll return immediately."

"Alright, Jin Ke, go and pick them up, just in case some fool causes trouble," the Thirteen Divine Generals ordered.

"Ah." Jin Ke pointed to himself, looking incredulous.

Please, boss, I'm a top 100 realm lord in the Qianwu Universe Kingdom! You want me to pick up a cosmic-level being, and one of my subordinates' subordinates at that? Are you kidding me?!

Where do I put my pride?!

"Hmm?" The thirteen generals glanced at Jin Ke with displeasure.

"Yes, sir, I'll go right away." Jin Ke hurriedly agreed. The scene changed, and he was already in the starry sky. Then the communication was cut off.

What exactly is going on?

Nuolanshan was very puzzled. What did he have that made him worthy of such courtesy from the thirteen divine generals?

He hasn't even shown his talent yet, but it was inadvertently revealed? That shouldn't be the case; he hasn't even fought anyone in all these years.

Nuolanshan hurriedly contacted Luo Feng, because Luo Feng was currently at the Qiulongxing Qianwu Dao Temple.

"Teacher." Luo Feng answered the phone immediately, looking at Nuolanshan with anticipation.

Nuolanshan shook his head and said, "I'm very sorry, this is a Zerg mother hive at the World Lord level. My abilities are insufficient to deal with it. You will need to cultivate diligently to resolve this."

"The Lord of the Realm?" Luo Feng clenched his fist, his gaze hardening. He had a new goal, someone to protect.

This is very important. Without a clear goal, one's practice will become lax and scattered, and progress will be slow.

Goals are both shackles and accelerators.

"Luo Feng, have you seen the Thirteen Divine Generals?" Nuolanshan asked.

"Yes, I saw him, and so did Lord Jin Ke," Luo Feng nodded.

"Do you know why they're here?" Nolanshan asked.

"He didn't say exactly what he wanted to see, only that he came to see the teacher. If I hadn't won first place in the Genius Battle, I wouldn't even have been qualified to meet him," Luo Feng said. "However, it seems that he values ​​the teacher very much, even more than he values ​​me."

"That's strange. Alright, I'll be right back. Please give a proper welcome to the Thirteen Divine Generals on my behalf. Also, please give Xu Xin my regards, so she won't say I left without saying goodbye," Nuolanshan said.

"Yes, teacher." Luo Feng accepted the order and hung up the phone.

Nuolanshan immediately took out his spaceship and flew at full speed to Qiulong Star, where he met Jin Ke, who had come to pick him up, on the way.

Jin Ke looked at the more advanced spaceship on Nuolan Mountain, and felt a pang of resentment. It was one thing for the leadership to favor him, but to add insult to injury by giving him money? Was there no justice? No law?

You're not the son of some high-ranking person at the dojo, are you? You're here to experience life at the grassroots level, aren't you?

"Lord Jin Ke, thank you for your trouble." Nuolanshan remained respectful to Jin Ke, after all, the man had helped him in the past.

"Alright, let's not keep Lord Thirteen waiting any longer." After saying that, Jin Ke ordered the spaceship to turn around and return to base.

Whizzing!

The two spaceships flew directly to the Qianwu Dojo, where the thirteen divine generals were standing at the entrance, as if welcoming the two.

Jin Ke was so frightened that his legs went weak. If Nuolanshan hadn't helped him up, he probably would have made a fool of himself.

"Hello, Nuolanshan, we finally meet." Upon seeing Nuolanshan, the Thirteen Divine Generals took the initiative to greet him.

"My lord," Nuolanshan said with utmost respect, his body stiff.

"Don't be nervous, I'm here to deliver the king's divine decree," said the thirteen divine generals.

"what!"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the thirteen divine generals say this. The ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom was a great cosmic sovereign; immortals were like ants before him.

How could someone so high and mighty be related to a mere Leaf-Dry Witch?

"By divine decree of the King, the head of the Qiulong Star branch of the Qianwu Dojo, the peerless Qianwu Master of Mount Nuolan, is hereby granted the title of Holy Instructor and promoted to teach in the Qianwu Secret Realm, a position equivalent to Immortal." The thirteen divine generals announced loudly.

Everyone gasped, with Jin Ke's gasp being the loudest. He knew better than anyone what this meant.

Generally speaking, only realm lords are qualified to become mentors in the Qianwu Secret Realm. Nuolanshan is merely a cosmic-level mentor, not to mention that he has been granted a brand-new mentor title, "Holy Mentor," which is unprecedented.

Finally, they added the phrase "equivalent to immortality," my god, even Jin Ke didn't receive this kind of treatment.

It's confirmed: Nuolanshan is definitely the illegitimate son of the Qianwu Kingdom's ruler.
