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

Chapter 59 Dragon Soul Jade, Rigorous Training
[You bestowed 10,000 pine cones upon your disciples Lei Ming and Paris, triggering a 100x return bonus. You have obtained a Dragon Soul Jade...]

Right after Lei Ming and Paris left, Lu Qingshan began to check the system's rebates.

Dragon Soul Jade... I've never heard of this before.

The universe is infinitely vast, and there are trillions of rare and precious materials. There are many things that Lu Qingshan doesn't know, but it's also very simple for him to find out.

"Nasus, can you help me find out what the Dragon Soul Jade is?"

After a while.

Nasus's deep voice rang out: "Master, the Dragon Soul Jade is a treasure that promotes the transformation of the soul. It is produced in the Dragon Blood Secret Realm in the distant territory. It once appeared in an auction in the Golden Sword Empire of the Middle Universe Kingdom within the territory of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. At that time, the auction price was 1.2 Mixed Yuan Units."

"Hmm? A 1.2 mixed unit?"

Upon hearing the price, Lu Qingshan's face lit up with joy.

He wasn't concerned about the amount of cosmic coins, but rather the price of 1.2 Chaos Yuan, which meant that this treasure would definitely be effective for the Domain Lord.

Treasures used in the cosmic stage could never have such a high price. One Chaos Unit could buy a large group of ninth-level cosmic slaves!

"How should this Dragon Soul Jade be used?"

Lu Qingshan then asked.

"Judging from the search results, the Dragon Soul Jade is used by wearing it. Simply wear the Dragon Soul Jade on your body, and the vast dragon soul contained within it will actively nourish your soul and promote its transformation!"

Upon hearing Nasus's reply, Lu Qingshan placed the Dragon Soul Jade in the pocket of his cyan robe.

After waiting for a while, he began to carefully perceive the changes in his soul.

At this level, Lu Qingshan could easily perceive even the slightest changes in his body and soul.

"There have indeed been some changes!"

Not long after wearing it, Lu Qingshan felt that the speed of his soul evolution had increased significantly.

If a complete transformation of the soul previously took tens of thousands of years, now it only takes ten years...

"Ten years is quite good. I can still break through to the Realm Lord level before the Genius Battle. I hope the soul power contained in this Dragon Soul Jade can last until my soul is completely transformed!"

"Then I will not leave the Qianwu Secret Realm for the next ten years!"

Lu Qingshan still felt a faint sense of crisis, but as long as he stayed in the Qianwu Secret Realm, no one could do anything to him!
……

Three days later.

Lu Qingshan arrived at Lingyu's manor.

After the White-browed Realm Lord left, Lu Qingshan was left to teach Lingyu alone.

After mastering the fundamental laws of time, Lingyu progressed rapidly and was now able to conjure twelve avatars.

Judging from the comparison videos, Lu Qingshan concluded that this was already somewhat stronger than the nine-line flow among the ten-thousand-line flow...

The Flow of Ten Thousand Lines is a good movement technique based on the fundamental laws of space.

However, after entering the third level, Lu Qingshan's Lightning Flash had actually evolved from the fundamental law of lightning to the law of time, and the illusory body he created could be said to be half a time illusory body.

However, compared to movement techniques that begin with time or space, the Lightning Flash technique has greater entry restrictions and is only suitable for those who have comprehended the fundamental laws of lightning.

For example, if someone has mastered the laws of light and time, they can directly cultivate the movement techniques based on the laws of time, but they cannot cultivate the "Lightning Flash" technique!
This is both a flaw and an advantage!
For geniuses who cultivate the laws of lightning and time, directly mastering the movement techniques of the time law is extremely difficult. However, starting with the basic laws of lightning greatly reduces the difficulty. Moreover, once one reaches the third level, it is virtually indistinguishable from a pure time law illusory body.

If the difficulty of cultivating the Myriad Threads Flow technique is 10, then the third level of Lightning Flash is roughly 5, at least half the difficulty. For geniuses who aren't truly top-tier but have mastered both the fundamental laws of lightning and time, Lightning Flash is even more effective than a simple movement technique based on the fundamental laws of spacetime. After all, what's strong isn't necessarily the best; what suits you best is the best!

"In the Cosmic Genius Battle, there are not many who can rival you in terms of movement techniques at the Stellar stage. Your Time Law has made some progress, but your offensive capabilities are still somewhat lacking. Next, you can try to attach the Time Law to the Wind and Thunder Sword."

With a wave of his hand, a cyan longsword flew from the armory into his hand.

"Wind and Thunder Thrust!"

The countless swords of wind and thunder transformed into a sharp beam of light, stabbing fiercely into the void, causing the void to tremble.

"I used the primal force of a ninth-order star to unleash this move, increasing its power by more than a hundred times compared to the original Wind and Thunder Strike. This is the allure of the laws of time..."

"The Law of Time is a superior law to the Laws of Wind and Thunder. With time as the general and wind and thunder as the soldiers... the general can bring out the most perfect effect of the Wind and Thunder Strike!!"

Lingyu stood aside, watching this perfect sword strike, her heart filled with excitement. If her teacher were to participate in the Genius Battle at the Stellar level, all the geniuses in the universe would pale in comparison.

"Teacher, Lingyu can't compare to you, but I will definitely do my best and not let you down..."

Holding the Wind and Thunder Sword, she also used the Wind and Thunder Thrust technique, attempting to integrate the fundamental laws of time into it. However, the effect was not good; the primal force within her body vibrated, and its power was actually less than before.

"Don't worry, I will demonstrate this move for you a hundred times, a thousand times. As long as you put your heart into it, you will definitely be able to master it."

Lu Qingshan unleashed the Wind and Thunder Thrust again, this time deliberately slowing down.

Lingyu also started practicing.

"Come again!"

"Don't be discouraged. Now that you've grasped the basics of the Time Law, it means you're fully capable of mastering this technique. Continue..."

For three days and three nights, Lu Qingshan and Ling Yu did not rest.

Only at the very end did Lingyu manage to unleash this move. Although its power was about the same as before when it hadn't been integrated with the laws of time, she was still extremely excited.

Because as long as he finds this point of convergence, under the teacher's guidance, he can continuously improve... with enormous future potential.

Even if it's not as perfect as the teacher's execution, just learning one-tenth of the essence of the teacher's move would be a tenfold improvement over the previous one.

Even if he forcibly used the third level of the Wind and Thunder Sword, its power might not be this great!

"You've rested for an hour. Your Force should have recovered. Continue..."

"I've had the butler send over enough restorative nutrient solution. Starting today, you must practice for at least twenty hours every day until you can execute this move perfectly..."

Lu Qingshan, unlike his usual kind self, transformed into a strict teacher... Even when faced with Ling Yu's pitiful gaze, he remained unmoved.

Once Lingyu gradually mastered the basics, Lu Qingshan stopped demonstrating personally. Instead, after each demonstration, he would point out any problems she might have and let her figure out how to fix them on her own.

He took out a recliner from his world ring and leisurely lay down under a large tree that was crackling with lightning.

Then he took the unicorn he bought at the auction, held it in his hand, and casually played with it.

And just like that, a month passed.

With daily practice, Lingyu's progress was visible to the naked eye. Once again, she exhausted all the primal energy in her body and collapsed weakly to the ground, not even wanting to move.

She turned her head and looked at the unicorn in Lu Qingshan's hand, a look of confusion flashing in her eyes.
