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

Chapter 95 bestows "Green Hills" upon you; you are a promising young man!

Lu Qingshan returned to the Fenglei Mountain villa and found the two sisters, Lingyu and Lingxi, chatting in the living room.

"Teacher, you're finally back. My sister is leaving in three days."

Lingxi's eyes were red, clearly reluctant to see her sister leave.

"Three days later? That's a bit too fast."

Lu Qingshan stepped into the room and gestured to Lingyu that she didn't need to get up.

Lingyu explained, "The headquarters of the Virtual Universe Company is far away from the Qianwu Continent, so we set off early to ensure that all the geniuses arrive at the same time. I am here today to say goodbye to my teacher."

Lu Qingshan waved his hand: "No need to be so formal. Although you will be living in the core secret realm of the Virtual Universe Company from now on, you can come back to the Virtual Universe at any time. If you have any questions, you can still ask me. You can also come back to see Lingxi often."

“Yes, sister,” Lingxi quickly said, “We haven’t been apart much over the years. You’ve been gone for so many years now, and we can’t see each other in real life, so you must come back to visit me often in the virtual universe.”

"Okay, Lingxi, don't worry, your sister won't forget you." Lingyu patted her younger sister's short blue hair and then said, "Go to the kitchen and make some dinner. I'm having dinner with the teacher today."

"Okay, sister, what would you like to eat?"

Lingxi sat up and casually picked up an apron and hung it in front of her.

"Whatever, just make your specialty dish. We probably won't be able to eat it for a long time in the future."

Lingyu said with a smile.

"Then I'll make more today."

After saying that, Lingxi happily went to the kitchen.

Lingyu watched her sister's cheerful figure, a hint of envy flashing in her eyes. She then looked away and took out the unicorn from her world ring.

"Teacher, the battle of geniuses is over. This item should be returned to its rightful owner."

Lu Qingshan looked at the unicorn in Ling Yu's hand...

He simply shook his head slowly, without reaching out to take it. This thing was originally given to Lingyu by him; the so-called "borrowing" was just an excuse from back then.

Now that he's ranked first in the Spirit Feather Genius Battle, he can rightfully possess a treasure of this caliber without being coveted by others...

Besides, Lu Qingshan's One-Horned Ghost King clone has one exactly the same on its head, so even if he wanted to observe the time runes on it, he wouldn't need the one Ling Yu has.

"teacher……"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan didn't reach out, Lingyu whispered a reminder.

He had just sent his younger sister Lingxi away so he could return this treasure to the teacher. He was afraid that if his sister saw it, she might accidentally tell someone and cause trouble for the teacher…

“Lingyu, consider this my investment in you…” Lu Qingshan continued, “The Virtual Universe Company is not as wonderful as you imagine. When you go there, you still need to improve your strength as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if you enter the Primal Secret Realm, it will only be a temporary qualification… This unicorn has greatly helped you comprehend the fundamental laws of time, and I will not take it back… You can repay me when you become a high-ranking member of the Virtual Universe Company.”

"teacher……"

Ling Yu was about to speak when Lu Qingshan interrupted her, saying, "Just do as I say."

"Disciple...disciple is deeply grateful for Master's great kindness, but has no way to repay it...only..."

Lingyu stammered, unsure of what to say next.

Ever since Teacher Lu came to the secret realm, he has been helping her the whole time, and she doesn't know how to repay him.

"Don't overthink it, just put it away."

Lu Qingshan offered a reminder.

Ling Yu hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded and put away the unicorn... This thing was of great help to her. Her progress after entering the fundamental law of time was basically due to her understanding of the secret patterns of the law of time from the unicorn.

"Lingyu, are you ready to break through to the cosmic level now?"

Lu Qingshan asked the question knowing the answer already.

"Teacher, I can break through at any time."

Lingyu didn't know why her teacher said that.

Lu Qingshan nodded and said, "You can break through to the universe level right here. I have another gift for you later."

"what?"

Lingyu blurted it out.

"Don't worry, it's nothing very valuable. It won't be a loss for me. You'll see in a moment."

Lu Qingshan did not offer an explanation.

Ling Yu blinked, but ultimately followed her teacher's instructions and went to the training ground at the villa. Just a few hours later, Ling Yu came downstairs, already radiating a cosmic aura. For the universe's number one genius, breaking through from the ninth level of the Stellar Realm to the first level of the Cosmic Realm was no more difficult than eating and drinking.

"Anyway, you'll break through on the way to the Virtual Universe Company headquarters, even if you don't break through now. After that, you won't need to cultivate Origin Force. All of you geniuses should have a free supply of nutrient solution, so you can directly advance to the ninth level of the Universe!"

At this point, Lu Qingshan felt a pang of envy.

He has cultivated to this point step by step, relying on his own accumulation and spending a lot of money to buy precious treasures to improve. Now he has broken through to the realm of realm lord, but he is still at the first level of realm lord, and the second level of realm lord is still a long way off.

If he were a member of the core secret realm of the five giants, he would probably have already reached the ninth level of the realm master by now, after soaking in nutrient solution!

"Teacher, you are very well-informed. Teacher Yinyuehou told me about these things."

"Haha, having the number one disciple in the universe, I definitely need to find out about this information."

Lu Qingshan's consciousness entered the virtual universe, and after a moment, he said, "The gift for you has been sent to your email address. You can go and check it..."

Lingyu was already curious about what the teacher was talking about as a gift, so upon hearing this, she immediately entered the virtual universe to check it out.

Green Hills

Seeing the blue arcs of light shimmering on the book cover, Lingyu knew it was a secret manual, and she couldn't wait to open it.

It turned out to be a swordsmanship manual.

Moreover, it's a collection of 36 sword technique manuals.

Lingyu was very surprised, wondering where her teacher had obtained so many sword technique manuals.

Until she opened the first book...

Epiphyllum!

This is……

A profound fluctuation of the fundamental laws of time swirled around him, and Ling Yu was immediately captivated by this secret manual after just one glance.

That was a very fast cut.

too fast!
If she had mastered this move during the Genius Battle, the Blood-haired Mammoth on the first floor of the Sixth Trial Tower would definitely not have been able to stop her!
The fundamental law of time can actually be applied in this way?

Lingyu possesses a special bloodline and is a genius at comprehending the fundamental laws of time. She originally thought that her understanding of the laws of time, even if far inferior to her teacher, was not that much different.

But now, she realizes it's absurd, utterly absurd... All the insights she had gained before were merely the most superficial level.

His application of the fundamental laws of time is like that of a toddler who has just learned to walk.

The "Wind and Thunder Thrust," a move imbued with the time law previously attached to the Wind and Thunder Sword, was actually used in this way...

I only had a vague understanding before, and it was only through practicing step by step with Teacher Lu that I was able to barely master it.

Now that she had seen the standard answer, Lingyu instantly understood why the Wind and Thunder Thrust, which had been improved by Teacher Lu, had a hundredfold increase in power, and why the Illusion God Mobert had an incredulous expression after being defeated by her move.

And this is merely the simplest application of a technique called the Ephemeral Flower Sword Technique...

The secret technique of the Epiphyllum was the first one listed in the collection of secret techniques called "Green Mountain" that Teacher Lu gave him.

“Qingshan…Lu Qingshan…Teacher Lu, he…”

Ling Yu took a deep breath and forcibly pulled her consciousness out of the virtual universe...

Looking at Teacher Lu sitting opposite her with a smile on his face, Lingyu felt that Teacher Lu was mysterious and unapproachable...

Did you understand even a little bit?

Lu Qingshan asked.

Lingyu took a deep breath and forced herself to remain calm as she said, "Teacher, the manuals you gave me are too profound. I only read the first sword technique manual, and I found that the way this manual uses the fundamental laws of time is terrifyingly proficient. It's as if... as if the laws of time are just dough that you can knead at will."

"Your analogy is quite good." Lu Qingshan nodded, very satisfied with this disciple who had a high level of comprehension. He continued, "This method of applying the laws of time has a special name: analyzing the essence of the fundamental laws of time!"

Lu Qingshan didn't offer much explanation, but stood up and said...

"Lingyu, your future path of cultivation will inevitably be based on the fundamental laws of time. I will not interfere with your choice. If you choose the same path as me, this 'Green Mountain' manual will be of the greatest help to you..."

Lu Qingshan chuckled.

"It may not be as valuable as other secret techniques in the treasure trove of the Virtual Universe Company, but... all secret techniques have one reason why they can't compare to 'Green Mountain.' Do you know why?"

Without thinking, Lingyu blurted out, "Because the teacher, the founder of this secret technique, can help Lingyu resolve her doubts at any time."

"This child is teachable—"
