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

Chapter 92 The Rich Woman Lingxi, the Disciple's Perseverance
"Teacher, I have money now!"

Lu Qingshan had just finished reading the email when Ling Xi rushed over.

Lu Qingshan looked up at his innocent and carefree young disciple and asked with a smile, "Did your sister give it to you?"

"No, no..." Lingxi shook her head, her short blue hair swaying: "Teacher, didn't you say before that my sister had a high probability of winning first place in the Genius Battle? So when my sister participated in the competition, I used all my assets to bet on her to win first place... My sister's odds are so high, I already have a trillion universe coins!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan couldn't help but laugh out loud, not expecting that Lingxi's thoughts coincided with his own.

A mere ninth-order star-level creature possesses a massive fortune equivalent to a mixed-elemental unit. In any cosmic nation, she would be considered a wealthy young woman.

Back then, as a giant axe warrior, I had accumulated wealth over 80,000 years, but all my cash was less than one-tenth of Lingxi's current wealth.

"Lingxi, not bad...you're very smart...with this money, you can buy whatever you want to eat in the future."

Although Lingxi is a money-grubber, she can't hold onto money; her pockets are basically empty, as it all ends up in her mouth.

This one Hunyuan should be enough for her to use for a long time.

"Teacher, would you like to go to Su Yue Fang? My treat."

Lingxi blinked, a hint of anticipation in her eyes. Once she had the money, she couldn't resist the urge to spend it.

“I’m not going. If you want to go, go by yourself. As for your sister… never mind, let’s not call her. If she goes out now, it might cause a commotion.”

With the Genius Battle just ended, Ling Yu was at the peak of her popularity. Even if she appeared in the virtual universe without disguising herself, she could still cause a stir among those around her.

"My sister has been very busy these past few days. Lord Silver Moon Marquis has taken her to meet many immortals. I heard that even the great ruler of the Qianwu Kingdom will personally receive my sister. My sister asked me to tell our teacher that she will personally visit him in a few days."

Hearing the teacher mention her older sister, Lingxi remembered that her sister had asked her to do this, something she had almost forgotten.

"Well, I see."

Lu Qingshan nodded.

Lingyu, like his other two disciples, is quite good and doesn't forget his roots... He didn't become arrogant after winning first place in the Genius Battle and still respects his teacher, Lu Qingshan, very much.

Lingxi pestered Lu Qingshan for a while, but seeing that he was unmoved, she had no choice but to hide in her room and go to Suyuefang to spend money.

During this break, Lu Qingshan summoned Lei Ming and Paris.

After the baptism of the battle of geniuses, both of them have grown a lot, especially Paris, whose repeated failures made him fully realize his own limitations.

"Lei Ming, Paris... The Genius Battle is over. I am quite satisfied with your results. Next... you can break through to the Universe stage, right?"

Looking at his two young disciples, Lu Qingshan sighed with emotion. Decades ago, he was just a cosmic-level genius who took in Lei Ming, a planetary-level genius. In the blink of an eye, decades have passed, and his disciples can break through to the cosmic level at any time.

In a primary universe nation, they would all be considered elders of their respective realms.

"Yes, teacher, that's exactly what we were planning."

Lei Ming and Paris both nodded.

"You certainly don't lack the resources for breakthroughs... I won't prepare them for you. I just want to ask what your plans are after your breakthroughs... Will you stay in the Qianwu Secret Realm and continue following the process of cultivating geniuses there, or..."

“Teacher,” Paris stepped forward and said firmly, “After breaking through to the cosmic level, Paris plans to participate in the cosmic mercenary assessment and become a cosmic mercenary to go on adventures.”

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan offered no comment, only glancing at his eldest disciple, Lei Ming.

Lei Ming quickly said, "Teacher, my junior brother and I have similar thoughts. Even if we stay in the Qianwu Secret Realm after breaking through to the Universe level, we won't be able to serve you on Fenglei Island. It's better to go on an adventure in the universe... You can't grow a towering tree in a greenhouse. You taught your disciples in your early years that the universe is a cruel place where the strong prey on the weak... I want to become a strong person!"

"it is good!"

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"Get ready and break through. Then apply to go out for training. Remember, if you encounter an insurmountable crisis, don't think about fighting on your own. You can ask your teacher for help. Since your teacher has accepted you as disciples, he will be responsible for you... If something really happens to you, your teacher will be very sad."

“Teacher…” Lei Ming and Paris were deeply moved.

"Go on your way, but come back to me one last time before you set off. I will prepare some farewell gifts for you."

"Yes."

The two nodded emphatically before slowly leaving.

……

Young eagles will eventually leave their mother's nest, and Lu Qingshan was not surprised that day would come.

Lu Qingshan plans to prepare a final gift for his three disciples, who are all determined and persevering, as they are about to embark on a long journey.

As for the future.

Unable to meet them in person, it would be somewhat troublesome to bestow gifts; we could only select some necessities or directly return their cultivation experience.

However, I wonder if this gift will change after I break through to the cosmic level.

The golden finger is too rigid; all information must be explored on one's own. Lu Qingshan is not yet clear about what changes will occur when his disciple breaks through to the cosmic level... However, one thing is certain: the upper limit bestowed by Lu Qingshan will definitely increase significantly.

……

Qianwu City, Treasure Pavilion.

With the conclusion of the Genius Battle, Kunsala, the Immortal Army Lord, felt as if he had eaten dog shit.

He couldn't believe it.

Ling Yu, a disciple of the Silver Moon Marquis who was originally only at the level of the Doomsday Secret Realm, unexpectedly won first place in the Genius Battle.

As Lingyu's mentor, Lu Qingshan is extremely popular in the Qianwu Secret Realm and is no longer someone Lingyu can control.

The top-tier instructors banded together, surrounding Lu Qingshan. Even Xue Tong, who had previously helped them and provoked Lu Qingshan, was ostracized and assigned to work at the Qianwu Dojo, leaving the core group.

"The tide has turned!!"

Khun Sa Lo sighed, his eyes filled with weariness and disappointment.

After becoming immortal, there have been very few moments that have left him feeling so powerless.

"Prepare an apology for me."

Khun Sa Lo's voice was hoarse.

The demonic realm lord standing nearby also looked grim. He took a deep breath and said, "Brother, is this really necessary? You are an immortal god, no matter what he does..."

"Shut up!"

Khun Sa Luo roared angrily.

"What do you know? Lu Qingshan is now being treated like a treasure by Marquis Mingguang and the other two. Rumor has it that even the King of Qianwu Kingdom will summon him..."

“Lu Qingshan is just a Realm Lord, so it doesn’t matter. But going against Lu Qingshan is the same as going against these giants. Even I… can hardly withstand the wrath of three Marquis-level Immortals, let alone…”

The image of that great figure appeared in Khun Saro's mind. That was the supreme deity of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. Even if there were a thousand or ten thousand Khun Saro, they would be nothing more than ants that could be crushed at any time in front of that deity.

The Demon Lord's face turned ashen after being insulted by his elder brother, but he dared not refute him. He could only grit his teeth inwardly: "Back then, I was already planning to give up, but it was all because of you... and now you're blaming me!"

Of course, he could only keep these complaints to himself; he dared not show them.
