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

Chapter 230 Bestowing the Flesh and Blood Spirit Mushroom

"Bought it!"

After discovering that there was still stock of the Blood and Flesh Ganoderma, the Ghost King's clone quickly made a decision.

He joined the Nine Domains Alliance for this very thing, and now that he has the opportunity to obtain it, he doesn't care even if he loses this disguise in the future.

At least on the surface, the Nine Domains Alliance still has some sense of shame and won't directly attack him. He only needs to guard against those behind-the-scenes conspiracies and schemes.

Contribution points in the City of Glory of the Nine Realms are easy to obtain.

All you need to do is contribute some treasures to the alliance.

The Ghost King's clone possessed almost all the assets of a high-ranking Roaring Gold King from the Demon Clan Alliance, so naturally it wouldn't lack these treasures.

He kept the treasures that belonged exclusively to the Roaring Gold King, and the Ghost King clone directly contributed the remaining common treasures in the name of Jin Yanming, gaining 53 billion contribution points.

Then he returned to the City of Glory and exchanged the last Blood and Flesh Ganoderma for it.

After obtaining the treasure from a branch of the Nine Realms Alliance, the Ghost King's clone quickly left.

These days, he can already feel many covetous glances.

After all, the strength he displayed was only at the initial level of a Marquis. The wealth of an initial level Marquis is only a few million Hunyuan units, but now he has taken out billions of Hunyuan units... This has made many people speculate!

……

"This Jin Yanming must have obtained the entire treasure of a King-level expert, or even the legacy of a Universe Venerable!"

Inside a grand hall.

The eight-meter-tall man with a muscular physique looked at Jin Yanming's information with a burning gaze.

"Your Highness's guess is correct. Jin Yanming was just a Realm Lord before, but this time he returned to the clan with the strength of a Marquis and Immortal. He must have had a great stroke of luck and obtained a great opportunity when he went out. However, this guy is a fool... He thought that joining the alliance would make him worry-free, and he actually dared to take out such a precious treasure."

A servant with a wolf-like body nearby let out a piercing laugh.

The burly man sneered.

“The Jinyan Clan is a weak race and does not deserve to possess such a treasure. That treasure should belong to me.”

"Your Highness, rest assured, I have already had people keeping a close eye on this guy. Once he goes to a secluded place, our people will take action. After all, we are all members of the alliance, so we still need to be mindful of appearances."

"Ah."

at this time.

The werewolf-like servant suddenly received the message, and his expression immediately turned sour.

"Your Highness, there has been a slight mishap; Jin Yanming has slipped away right under our noses."

"How could that be? Didn't you say that the two you sent were both Marquis-level officials with strong tracking abilities?" The burly man said with some dissatisfaction.

“That’s true, but I’m not entirely sure of the specific reasons.” The werewolf servant assured him, “However, Your Highness, rest assured, that Jin Yan clan member is still under our surveillance. Unless he never returns to the Jin Yan clan, we will definitely catch him again.”

“That bastard…” The burly young man sneered: “Next time, don’t hold back. If you see him, just attack him directly. Killing a mere Marquis is nothing. I don’t believe anyone in the alliance would dare to speak ill of our Yan God Clan.”

"Yes, Your Highness, I understand!"

……

In the human realm, in a desolate star field.

The Ghost King's clone, disguised as an ordinary human immortal deity, appeared out of thin air.

"Two Marquis-level Immortals are following us? It seems we've really been targeted this time. The Nine Domains Alliance is truly in chaos!"

After obtaining the Blood and Flesh Spirit Mushroom from the Nine Domains Alliance branch, he sensed that someone was following him.

The Ghost King's clone pretended not to know anything, and after hiding in a very distant star field, he suddenly accelerated time and shook off those people.

Then, using the teleportation function of the Plant Life Kingdom, he returned to the human territory.

Once we returned to human territory, everything was safe.

"Flesh and Blood Lingzhi"

The Ghost King's clone took out a crimson Ganoderma lucidum, about one meter in size, and examined it closely.

After obtaining the treasure from the Nine Domains Alliance branch, he left in a hurry without examining it closely.

Now, looking at this treasure again, the Ghost King's clone has only one thought in his mind.

"Perfect!"

The Blood and Flesh Lingzhi has a perfect appearance, just like the Blood Crystal.

It has a faint warmth when held in your hand.

According to the description, this is a treasure mutated after being nourished by the blood of the naturally born fire beast god. Apart from being unusable above ten times the genetic level and only having one chance to use it, there are no other restrictions on its use.

"Who should I give this to?"

The Ghost King's clone pondered for a moment.

He currently has no top-tier genius disciples, otherwise he wouldn't be in this dilemma. His second-tier disciples include Ling Yu, Ling Xi, Bulu, Jin Jian, and Luo, a total of five.

Blue's strength is too weak; comprehending the laws is the most important thing now.

Lingxi has her own destiny, so we will not interfere with her growth for the time being.

Jin Jian decided against it. This guy disrespected his teacher and was on an extra battlefield, so sending him away would only create more trouble.

That leaves only Luo and Lingyu.

Actually, giving this to Luo would be the most cost-effective option, because Luo is the strongest. After obtaining this flesh and blood spirit mushroom, he could probably be immediately ennobled as a marquis, and becoming a king in the future would be no problem.

The higher your strength, the higher the standards you will be granted, the fewer restrictions you will face, and the better cashback you can expect in the future.

However, Lingyu...

Lu Qingshan thought of Ling Yu's bloodline.

On the Blood Luo Continent, Ling Yu activated the Ghost King bloodline for the second time, greatly enhancing his talent and making him the most talented among all his disciples.

If this flesh-and-blood Ganoderma were bestowed upon her, she would surely advance even further. Moreover...

The amount of Blood Crystal fused with Lingyu must be considerable. If her genes are enhanced after using this Blood and Flesh Lingzhi, could she become a Black Warrior?
This is something Lu Qingshan is really looking forward to.

With the potential of the Black Warrior's bloodline and the Ghost King's clone, could he become a top-tier genius?
With the successful experiences of Ling Xi and Lu Lingxiao, Lu Qingshan's desire for first-class geniuses became even stronger. Second-class and third-class geniuses can be improved, so why can't first-class geniuses?

The hope of recruiting a first-class genius disciple is too slim. Why not improve your existing disciples to the level of first-class genius?

"Let's take a gamble. Even if the chances of success are slim, it will still increase Lingyu's potential, making it easier for her to improve in the future."

……

One year later.

Within the primordial chaos city of the universe.

Jemin stood outside a small building, carrying a suitcase.

"Greetings, teacher." The door opened, and Jemin quickly bowed, presenting the silver box with both hands: "Teacher, this is the goods you asked me to retrieve."

"Hmm, Jemin... how's your cultivation going lately?"

Lu Qingshan accepted the box and asked with a smile.

"Teacher, after breaking through to immortality, my strength has progressed very slowly. However, fortunately, my work is not busy and the pay is good, so I may be able to improve in the future."

"I feel a little ashamed," Jemin said.

In the years since he broke through to the Immortal God realm, his strength has hardly improved at all. Compared to Luo Qi, Jieming even doubted whether he was a fool.

“It is inherently very difficult for immortal gods to improve their strength. Some cannot improve even after hundreds of millions of epochs. There is no need to rush…” Lu Qingshan smiled, then took out an immortal divine weapon and said, “This weapon is not bad for immortal gods who have comprehended the earth element law. I will give it to you. Familiarize yourself with it. If you can use it skillfully, it should increase your strength.”

"Thank you teacher."

Jemin was overjoyed and thanked him profusely.

"Go!"

"is teacher."

Lu Qingshan watched his disciple Jieming leave before returning to his own small building.

For a third-rate genius disciple, it becomes extremely difficult to make further progress after breaking through to the Immortal God level.

This was true for Jemin, and it was also true for his other third-rate genius disciples who were immortal gods.

In comparison, one realizes the value of a second-rate genius. Luo's strength has improved rapidly over the years, and he is just one step away from being granted the title of Marquis.

[You have bestowed upon your disciple Jieming the immortal divine weapon, the Thousand-Pound Hammer, and received a hundredfold return; you now possess the Sky-Splitting Hammer!]

Lu Qingshan did not examine the treasure.

An ordinary immortal weapon with a hundredfold return offers absolutely no appeal; it's probably just a weapon suitable for someone who can be granted the rank of Marquis or, at most, King.

The key ingredient is the flesh-and-blood Ganoderma lucidum!

Lu Qingshan opened the silver treasure chest and looked at the blood-red, almost perfect treasure inside.

Then he sent a message to his disciple Lingyu.

Lingyu is in the Primal Secret Realm, not in the Initial Universe. However, it is not difficult to come here. Primal Secret Realm Master-level members can go to the Initial Universe to study at any time, and only need some points.

Lu Qingshan waited for about half a year before he finally met his disciple Ling Yu in the initial universe.

In the living room on the first floor, the food that Lingxi made in real life was laid out on the table.

Before leaving the Qianwu Universe Kingdom last time, Lingxi prepared a lot of food and stored it in her spatial ring for him to take with him.

"Lingyu, I hope that calling you to the Initial Universe this time didn't disturb your cultivation?"

Lu Qingshan asked with a smile.

“Master, I am just one step away from the 14th level of the Heavenly Bridge, and I am preparing to come to Chaos City to cultivate for several hundred years.”

Lingyu took a bite of the food on the table.

"Lingxi made this?"

"Yes, that's right, but it feels different."

Lu Qingshan suddenly used his consciousness to transmit his voice.

Ling Yu carefully examined the food, a look of surprise appearing on her face. She then transmitted her thoughts to Ling Xi, saying, "Ling Xi, these dishes..."

"You sensed it, didn't you? It seems you didn't know before... I only found out when I returned from the extraterrestrial battlefield and went to the Qianwu Secret Realm... Lingxi obtained an extraordinary inheritance from the Thousand Threads Soul Refining. This matter must be kept secret for Lingxi's safety."

Lingyu looked at the food with some surprise, and nodded solemnly. As the lord of a primordial secret realm, she understood what this meant.

Lingxi is her younger sister, and she cares about her sister's safety even more than Lu Qingshan does.

Lu Qingshan continued.

"That Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique is extraordinary... I obtained it by chance and did not know that there was such a secret within it. The second volume is very dangerous to cultivate, so I have not given it to you for the time being. I will give you all a copy when your will becomes stronger in the future."

"Thank you, teacher!" Ling Yu nodded. The Thousand Threads Soul Refining technique was already incredibly wondrous, capable of training the soul and will. But Ling Xi's experience now further demonstrated that this secret technique held even greater secrets.

"The reason I called you here today isn't because of these things, but mainly because of this."

Lu Qingshan took out the silver box.

"This treasure has a similar magical effect to the Blood Crystal, but I'm not quite sure... Would Lingyu be willing to help me try it out?"

Lingyu glanced down at the box and nodded without hesitation: "Teacher, this disciple is willing."

Having spent so many years with Lu Qingshan, Lingyu couldn't believe that her teacher would harm her.

"Take it back and use it. How do you use it? There are detailed instructions inside. I believe you can do it."

Lu Qingshan said calmly.
