Swallowing the Stars: Starting from Late Bloomers

Chapter 056: Secret Techniques, Bestowed Treasures

As time went by, more and more people began to gather in the banquet hall.

Those who are here today are almost all important figures from various forces in the Golden Lion Starfield, as well as their relatives, disciples, and so on.

These important figures who attended the banquet naturally all prepared a gift for Lu Qingshan, the main character.

A short while later...

"Lord Wells, I am truly delighted that you have invited me to this banquet!"

A burly man, over three meters tall, with his face covered in patches of blue fish scales, walked over laughing.

When his gaze fell upon Lu Qingshan, it instantly lit up: "This must be your newly accepted disciple, right?"

"Zi Chuan Feng, welcome to this banquet!"

Wells first nodded slightly to the burly man, and then introduced him to Lu Qingshan behind him: "Qingshan, this is the ancestor behind the Zichuan Empire, your hometown, Zichuan Feng."

"He's a peak Domain Lord level expert, with a great chance of breaking through to the World Lord level in the future! If you encounter any trouble in the Zi Chuan Empire, you can directly seek his help!"

"Senior Zi Chuanfeng!"

After listening to Wells' introduction, Lu Qingshan quickly bowed slightly to Zi Chuanfeng.

"Haha, no need for such formalities!"

Zi Chuan Feng laughed heartily, then assured Wells, "Lord Wells, rest assured! Within the borders of my Zi Chuan Empire, absolutely no one will cause trouble for your disciple!"

After saying this, Zi Chuanfeng waved his hand and presented a spatial ring to Lu Qingshan.

Upon seeing this, Lu Qingshan naturally bowed again to express his gratitude before accepting the gift from Zi Chuanfeng.

Even after Zi Chuanfeng arrived, many more guests continued to arrive.

The banquet officially began after all the guests had arrived.

At the banquet, Wells naturally began by solemnly introducing to everyone the matter of taking Lu Qingshan as his disciple, which allowed those who attended the banquet to gain some understanding of Lu Qingshan.

After that, everyone naturally began to enjoy the feast.

Although they claimed to be enjoying a feast, the group was actually hoping to use this opportunity to meet more powerful individuals.

Lu Qingshan, whether following his teacher Wells or his senior brother Ormons, got to know many important figures from various forces within the Golden Lion Starfield through this banquet.

For example, Wang Tiankuo, the ancestor of the Wang family to which Wang Chen belongs;

For example, the Tianzhu Mountain lineage has a total of twenty-three realm lords, and the strongest of them is the "Tianxing Realm Lord" August. However, August is currently adventuring in other universe kingdoms, so he cannot attend the banquet. He only sent a gift to Lu Qingshan through his disciple.

For example, the other four Domain Lord-level disciples under Teacher Wells, etc...

Among these guests, even the weakest among them were domain lord-level powerhouses, who could be considered well-known figures within the Golden Lion Star Domain.

And so, the banquet lasted for three whole days before the many important figures who had attended finally dispersed.

After everyone had left, Wells finally took Lu Qingshan back to his mansion.

"My disciple!"

Inside the mansion's drawing room, Wells asked with a smile, "After attending this banquet, what are your thoughts?"

"this……"

After hearing Wells's words, Lu Qingshan paused slightly before replying, "Teacher, I met many important figures from my Golden Lion Star Region at this banquet, and they were all very courteous to me!"

"But I know very well that the reason they are so polite to me and have given me so many gifts is mainly because I have become your disciple, Master. If I want to truly earn their respect, I still need to be strong enough myself!"

"Hahaha!"

Hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Wells smiled with satisfaction: "My disciple, I'm very happy that you think this way!"

"The reason I've organized this banquet is not only to let the guests get to know you, but also to help you understand some principles!"

"And the fact that you understood this so quickly shows you have a very good mindset!"

"In this vast universe, the most important reliance for the strong is their own strength! Only by being strong enough can one gain a foothold in this vast universe!"

"However, since you've already figured this out, I won't say any more!"

Wells quickly turned to Lu Qingshan and asked, "Disciple, what secret techniques did you mainly study and comprehend during your previous cultivation?"

"Reply, teacher!"

Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully replied, "Previously, I mainly cultivated the 'Analysis of Power Generation,' 'Soul Forging,' and 'The Secret Manual of Thick Earth,' which were used to improve my physical power generation, soul defense, and comprehension of cultivation realms!"

"That 'Power Generation Analysis' is quite good. It's a widely circulated and very effective secret method for improving power generation techniques throughout the universe. You can continue practicing it!"

After listening to Lu Qingshan's words, Wells quickly said, "As for the 'Soul Forging Manual' and the 'Thick Earth Secret Manual,' they are very ordinary. You should not continue cultivating them!"

"I have a technique here called 'The World of Earth,' which I obtained at a considerable cost. It's a secret method that explains the realm of earth and the fundamental laws of earth! Although it's not extremely precious, even I haven't fully comprehended it yet. It should be sufficient for you!"

"As for the secret technique to enhance your soul defense, cultivate this 'Soul Ring'! This 'Soul Ring' was created by an illusionist who has reached the Immortal realm. Once fully mastered, it can even withstand soul attacks from Immortal God-level experts!"

After saying this, Wells waved his hand, and a stream of light rushed directly towards Lu Qingshan, which was then received by Lu Qingshan's auxiliary AI, Deep Blue.

"Thank you, teacher!" Lu Qingshan quickly and respectfully said.

"Many of my disciples receive resources after becoming my disciples. Now that you've become my disciple, I will naturally bestow some resources upon you as well!"

Wells spoke again, "With all the gifts you received before, you shouldn't lack wealth for the time being!"

"In that case, I will bestow upon you a Chongyue Pearl!"

After saying this, Wells waved his hand, and a pearl emitting an earthy yellow light appeared in front of Lu Qingshan.

Upon seeing this precious pearl, Lu Qingshan felt the earth-attribute genetic energy within his body begin to become more active.

"These Chongyue Pearls were treasures I acquired at great expense back then, used to aid in comprehending the Earth Domain and the fundamental laws of Earth. There were only eighteen in total, and now I only have three left!"

Wells quickly continued, "Furthermore, when I created the Chongyue Peak Realm Master World, I also drew upon the mysteries within this Chongyue Pearl. In the future, when you go to Chongyue Peak to comprehend the Earth Domain, you will be able to experience the wonders of this Chongyue Pearl!"

"With the help of this Chongyue Pearl, I believe your future comprehension of the Earth Domain and the fundamental laws of Earth should be much smoother!"

"Thank you so much for this gift, teacher!" Lu Qingshan said gratefully.

"Um!"

Wells nodded slightly, then continued, "Disciple, have you encountered any difficulties in your recent study of the Earth Domain?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Qingshan's eyes lit up, and he quickly recounted all the doubts he had encountered while comprehending the Earth Domain.

Wells, after hearing Lu Qingshan's words, quickly began to explain to him.
