Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 054: The Disciple Acceptance Banquet

Lu Qingshan spent nearly a hundred years before he broke into the top ten of the first-level elite rankings and obtained the qualification to apply for the Evolution Elixir.

But now, after only a short period of cultivation using the Evolution Elixir, he is already able to use an E-grade nutrient capsule that is many times more precious than the Evolution Elixir.

Having read the original work, he was naturally aware of the effects of this E-grade nutrient capsule. In the original work, after obtaining the treasure within a world, Luo Feng purchased this E-grade nutrient capsule to improve the realm of his Earthly self.

The price of this E-grade nutrient capsule is a staggering 8600 billion cosmic coins!

Such a vast fortune is extremely precious, even to a world lord-level expert.

After all, the total wealth of a typical World Lord-level expert is usually only around ten trillion cosmic coins.

Of course, Wells was, after all, a peak world lord recognized by the fundamental laws, and had been wandering the universe for millions of years, so his wealth was definitely much greater than that of an ordinary world lord-level powerhouse.

Moreover, Wells is only temporarily lending this Grade E nutrient tank to Lu Qingshan. The main consumption is of nutrient solution, and it will not cause any damage to the nutrient tank itself.

Even so, this was still incredibly precious to Lu Qingshan.

After all, when he uses the Evolution Elixir, he needs to concentrate on absorbing the pure energy contained within it.

Soaking in this nutrient capsule allows the precious nutrient solution to actively evolve one's body, not only in a shorter time but also allowing one's consciousness to enter the virtual world to continue cultivating various secret techniques!

This would naturally save him a lot of time in his cultivation.

The only downside to soaking in this nutrient tank is that it consumes too many resources.

Given Lu Qingshan's current level, if he wanted to cultivate to the ninth level of the Hengxing Star using the nutrient capsule, he would need to consume at least one hundred kilograms of nutrient solution.

These nutrient solutions alone are worth a billion cosmic coins.

Such a precious fortune is enough to buy a sixth-tier slave of the cosmic level.

However, this was nothing to Wells, the Lord of Chongshan Realm.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan immediately expressed his gratitude respectfully, saying, "This disciple thanks you, Master!"

"It's alright!"

Wells quickly waved his hand, then said to Lu Qingshan, "Disciple, you may use this nutrient tank here!"

"Yes, teacher!"

Lu Qingshan respectfully responded and then stepped into the huge nutrient tank in front of him.

After being enveloped in the expensive nutrient solution, Lu Qingshan quickly felt a vibrant energy permeate his body through his skin, rapidly enhancing his physical attributes and the genetic power within him.

After his body began to evolve, Lu Qingshan did not remain idle. Instead, he quickly entered the virtual space created by the AI ​​Deep Blue and began to study some of the secret techniques he had previously cultivated.

Meanwhile, in the mansion's living room, Ormons, witnessing this scene, quickly smiled at Wells and said, "Teacher, it seems Junior Brother is working very hard in his cultivation; he even makes use of the time spent soaking in the nutrient chamber!"

"That's the right way!"

Wells quickly nodded and said, "Only through continuous and diligent practice can one go further on the path of cultivation!"

"If one continues to slack off in cultivation, even with astonishing talent, it will be difficult to become a true powerhouse!"

And so time continued to pass, and in the blink of an eye, another three months had gone by.

……

That day, Lu Qingshan was still evolving himself in the nutrient tank when he suddenly heard his senior brother Ormons' voice.

Upon hearing the sound, Lu Qingshan quickly flew out of the nutrient tank, and then his Force Battle Suit automatically appeared on his body, transforming into a tan armor.

"Junior brother, you really are very composed!"

Seeing that Lu Qingshan had stopped cultivating, Ormons quickly smiled and said, "Your apprenticeship banquet is about to begin, and you're still cultivating here? Hurry up and come with me to see our teacher!"

"Thank you for the reminder, senior!"

Lu Qingshan quickly asked, "Where are we going now?"

"Of course, we'll go to a banquet hall at my Tianzhu Mountain headquarters!"

Ormons quickly said, "Alright, junior brother, you can come with me!"

After saying this, Ormons immediately released a wisp of world power, and then carried Lu Qingshan along as they flew towards another magnificent palace.

"Senior Brother Ormons!"

While on their way, Lu Qingshan quickly asked, "Is there anything I should be aware of at this banquet?"

"Junior brother, don't be too nervous. I went through the same thing back then!"

Upon hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Ormons quickly smiled and said, "Most of the people attending this apprenticeship banquet are the teacher's friends and disciples, as well as some powerful figures from within Tianzhu Mountain! You just need to collect the gifts and expand your network!"

"You should know that our teacher is very famous throughout the entire Golden Lion Star Region, and even several surrounding star regions. So, the people who have come to become his disciples this time are definitely important figures from various forces, as well as some outstanding juniors!"

"The more people you get to know, the more helpful it will be for you as you navigate the Golden Lion Star Region!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan was slightly taken aback, then couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, didn't Teacher say before that he was just inviting a few friends to witness this? Why has it suddenly become so grand?"

"That's normal!"

Ormons quickly interjected, "Our teacher has lived for millions of years, and has long since gained the recognition of the fundamental law of earth. It's only natural that he has many friends!"

"Especially since these teachers' friends also have other friends around them, plus their disciples, and some powerful individuals who wanted to come and join the fun after receiving the news, it's quite normal for the banquet to have over ten thousand attendees!"

"I see!"

After hearing Ormons's words, Lu Qingshan understood somewhat.

Most of the powerful figures attending this banquet are probably here to make friends.

Of course, as one of the main characters at this banquet, he will certainly attract a lot of attention.

"Junior Brother Qingshan, don't worry!"

Ormons quickly continued, "Actually, the teacher has already arranged everything for the banquet. If any important guests arrive, both the teacher and I will remind you!"

"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Lu Qingshan quickly thanked him again.

With Ormons's words, he only needed to greet the others as his teacher and Ormons had suggested; there was really nothing he needed to prepare too much.

As for building connections, that's entirely up to fate.

After all, once he becomes powerful enough, he certainly won't stay in the Golden Lion Star Region to cultivate, so the so-called connections won't be that important to him anymore.

And so, Ormons led Lu Qingshan forward, and soon they arrived at the main entrance of a luxurious hall.

At this moment, besides several cosmic-level guards, there was also a burly man exuding a heavy aura waiting at the entrance of the hall.

He was dressed in bright yellow armor, had two dragon horns on his head, and carried a blood-red giant axe on his back.

"Ormons!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and his companion, the burly man carrying a blood-red giant axe quickly greeted them with a hearty laugh: "This little fellow must be Master's newly accepted disciple, right?"

"Yes, Senior Sherman!"

Ormons first greeted the burly man, then turned to Lu Qingshan and introduced him, "Junior Brother, this is Sixth Senior Brother Sherman!"

"Sixth Senior Brother is the strongest among us fellow disciples. He broke through to the World Lord level more than two million years ago and is currently serving in the Eighteenth Legion of my Tianxing Universe Kingdom. He came here specifically to attend your apprenticeship banquet!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan immediately expressed his gratitude, saying, "Thank you very much, Senior Brother Xie Erman!"

Wells had only two disciples who broke through to the World Lord level: Sherman and Ormons.

Sherman's ability to serve in the 18th Legion of the Tianxing Universe Kingdom demonstrates his considerable strength, even among World Lords.
