Swallowing the Stars: Become Stronger by Taking on Disciples

Chapter 12 The Trouble with the Supreme Treasure!

"He charges three sets of materials for an ordinary treasure, and five sets for a top-tier treasure. That's higher than what the disciple of the God of Craftsmen asks for. Venerable Xingyu is really greedy."

Upon hearing his friend, Venerable Tiger Subduer's voice, Venerable Nine Swords looked distressed; the price was indeed unacceptable.

"What are you two talking about?" Water Sword Venerable walked into the pavilion where the two were sitting with light and cheerful steps.

"Hey, what isn't this...?"

Water Sword Venerable's lips curled into a smile; it was time for Tianxing to enjoy his own happiness.

"What? What are you talking about?"

Tiger-Subduing Venerable instantly teleported in front of Water-Sword Venerable, examining his equipment with astonishment.

"A top-tier, supreme treasure set!"

"You robbed a bank!"

A hint of envy flashed in the eyes of the Nine Swords Venerable. He hadn't expected that Water Sword would accidentally become the subordinate of a top-tier weapon refiner; this was quite a generous gift.

"You're the one who robbed a bank! This was bestowed by Lord Xingyu; everyone under his command gets one!"

"One set for each person?" The Nine Swords Venerable was no longer calm.

"A complete set of top-tier, supreme-grade treasures?"

The Water Sword Venerable sat down opposite him and said casually, "Yes, but the King-level Immortal set is just an ordinary heavy treasure set."

"These days, you're almost embarrassed to go out without wearing a top-notch outfit."

The Nine Swords Venerable and the Tiger Subduing Venerable revealed eyes that seemed to want to devour people.

You'll die if you don't pretend!

Despite his envy, the Nine Swords Venerable astutely grasped a key point.

Top-tier, supreme treasure!

Top-grade common treasure!

Could it be that Venerable Xingyu only forges top-grade weapons? If so, the price of forging weapons doesn't seem so high.

If the high-grade weapons forged by the disciples of the God of Crafts can unleash 80% of their strength, then the top-grade weapons can unleash 99% of their strength!

In a battle between the strongest, victory or defeat is often decided in the blink of an eye. A single move, a slight difference in execution, can lead to a disastrous outcome.

If all nine of his swords are top-grade treasures, his combat power will skyrocket!

"Water Sword, can I ask you something?"

........

The news that Venerable Water Sword, Venerable Heavenly Journey, and others had been bestowed with top-grade treasure sets spread like wildfire among the high-ranking members of the human race.

Zachary, who had broken through to immortality, arrived at the residence of Venerable Starry Sky with trepidation, led by King Yanlong.

内堂

"Sir, Zachary has arrived."

In an instant, the space, like a darkly patterned brocade crumpled by invisible fingertips, rippled with a pale golden light.

Dressed in a silver robe, Gao Ya slowly materialized, sitting in the central seat, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

"Greetings, teacher!" Zachlee immediately knelt down.

Gao Ya looked down at the frail figure and asked, "I wish to take you as my personal disciple. Are you willing to become my master?"

Zachley froze on the spot, his ears ringing, and he didn't even hear what the other person said next.

Half a second later, the words "accepting apprentices" belatedly echoed in his mind.

"Young man, hurry up and agree! For the master to accept you as a disciple is an opportunity you could never hope to obtain in your entire life," the old man's voice echoed in his mind.

Zachary shuddered and said in a trembling voice, "This disciple is willing."

"Very well, from this day forward, you will be my first personally taught disciple."

Gao Ya flicked his finger, and a world ring flew towards Zachary: "These contain the cultivation resources I prepared for you. You can cultivate here from now on. If you don't understand anything, ask my divine avatar."

"Yes, teacher."

"You may all leave."

"Yes, sir (teacher)."

After the two left, Gao Ya returned to the cultivation room, glanced at the Rock Giant that was being nurtured beside him, and sent a wisp of his consciousness into the virtual universe to learn how to refine supreme treasures, while his main body continued to create secret techniques.

One month later

Virtual universe, the exclusive dimension of Starry Sky Refining Company

"Greetings, Your Excellency," said Lei Fawang, who was on duty in the business department, respectfully.

These past few days he'd been receiving Immortals and Venerables from the Virtual Universe Company, but this was the first time he'd received a Venerable from the Giant Axe Arena. And the first one to arrive was a heavyweight figure—the disciple of the great Lord of False Gold, Venerable Fiery Erosion.

"Hmm, I'd like to place an order for a top-tier Fire Law treasure set, but I'll owe you the materials for now."

King Lei abandoned his last remaining respect and said, "Venerable One, our company does not offer credit."

The Venerable Fiery said in an unfriendly tone, "You don't know my identity?"

"How many documents do I owe you?"

King Lei stood his ground: "No matter who it is, no one can buy on credit!"

Just kidding, all these materials will eventually be handed over to Lord Xingyu. Not a single material can be missing without his permission!

"you!"

"Erosion Fire, you're really getting worse with age!" With a flash of light, Venerable Heavenly Path appeared beside King Thunder.

"Paying respects to the Venerable One"

"Hmm," Venerable Tianxing responded, glancing at Venerable Shihuo, who was about to get angry, and teased, "To devote so many resources to one's own son, yet lack the materials to forge a powerful treasure, is truly unacceptable."

"Tianxing!" Venerable Fiery clenched his fists. His son was a thorn in his side, and he hated nothing more than hearing others gossip about him.

"Don't think you're stronger than me just because you've allied yourself with Venerable Starry Sky. In the end, he's just a top-tier cosmic overlord!"

Venerable Tianxing chuckled and waved his hand: "As long as I'm stronger than you, that's enough."

"Alright, Fire Erosion, leave the materials if you have any, otherwise go back. Come back when you have more materials."

"Hmph!" Venerable Fiery Erosion glared at him, then vanished from his spot in a flash.

Thunder King laughed, "Venerable One, this Venerable Fire Erosion is used to running up debts at the Giant Axe Arena, and now he's trying to take advantage of us."

"Ha, that guy, all for his darling... never mind, let's not talk about it. I'm leaving, you keep watching."

"Yes"

Somewhere in the primordial universe, a majestic continent spanning tens of light-years floats.

At the very center stood a colossal, dark golden axe tens of thousands of kilometers tall, its oppressive aura distorting even space itself into a spiral shape.

In the distorted space at the tip of the axe

The Fiery Venerable sat on his throne, his suppressed rage erupting, instantly turning the entire space into a sea of ​​fire.

"Venerable Tianxing, Venerable Xingyu, you're not giving me any face! Just you wait!"

"Blue!"

A "Venerable One," a King-level Immortal, appeared before him.

"Go and find these materials; I need five copies!"

"Yes"

In the endless void, the towering figure who witnessed all of this sighed helplessly.

If it weren't for his useless son's hindrance, his disciple could have gone much further, and it's even possible that he would one day become the sixth Universe Master of the Giant Axe Arena.

pity.......

He looked in the direction of the Virtual Universe Company and sighed, "What a place with outstanding people and resources! Why don't my Giant Axe Arena have so many geniuses?"

For countless years, he had strived to bridge the gap between the Giant Axe Arena and the middle and upper management of the Virtual Universe Company, but he never expected that Gao Ya, who appeared out of nowhere, would break that barrier.

A top-tier cosmic overlord capable of crafting supreme treasures wields influence no less than a third-tier cosmic lord.

"Life is unpredictable," the tall figure gradually faded away.
