In fact, even if the family had offered a smaller reward, Weilusi would still have been willing to recommend Lu Qingshan to the ancestor as a disciple.
He knew very well that only when the family behind him grew stronger would his own standing in the universe rise.
Then Weilusi quickly ordered the ship's AI, Morty, "Morty, contact the ancestor immediately!"
"Yes, Master!"
The ship's AI, Morty, quickly replied, "But we cannot connect to the Purple River Empire's virtual network here at all. To contact Ancestor Kanuo, we must apply to connect to the Golden Lion Empire's virtual network. Master, are you sure you want to connect?" (This is not a typo. The Virtual Universe does not exist yet.)
"Connect!" Weilusi promptly ordered.
Although connecting to the Golden Lion Empire's virtual network would be very expensive, Weilusi still felt it was well worth it!
"Beep!"
"Connection established. Requesting communication..."
Just like that, more than a full minute passed before the communication request finally went through.
On the enormous screen before Weilusi appeared a burly man wearing earth-yellow battle armor, with a pair of pointed ears. He was Kanuo, the sole Universe Level expert in the family behind Weilusi.
"My child!"
As soon as the connection went through, Kanuo asked directly, "You contacted me through the Golden Lion Empire's network. Is there something important?"
"Ancestor!"
Weilusi quickly reported respectfully, "My companions and I have been adventuring through the universe, and we have now discovered another inhabited planet. Its coordinates are &!"
"What? A new inhabited planet?"
Upon hearing Weilusi's words, Kanuo could not help feeling somewhat surprised.
After all, as a Universe Level expert, he had lived for over thirty thousand years, yet even now, he only had a little over a hundred inhabited planets to his name.
Yet Weilusi had already contributed an inhabited planet to the family before, and now he had actually discovered another?
"Weilusi, my good child!"
Kanuo quickly said, "I am very pleased that you contacted the family as soon as you discovered an inhabited planet!"
"First, investigate the situation on that inhabited planet thoroughly. Then bring the flight records containing its interstellar coordinates, along with samples, data, and so on from the planet, and hurry straight to nearby Purple Water Star. I will wait for you there. Then we will go together to the Golden Lion Empire's government offices to submit the data and purchase this newly discovered inhabited planet!"
"Once all of that is done, the family certainly will not shortchange you or your team!"
But just then, Weilusi spoke again. "Ancestor, there is an unparalleled genius on this inhabited planet. Although he has never received any legacy and is only a Planetary Level warrior, he has already stepped into the Domain Realm after cultivating for just over three hundred years!"
"What?"
After hearing this, Kanuo stared fixedly at him, then asked solemnly once more, "A Planetary Level warrior actually possesses a domain? Weilusi, do you know what you are saying?"
"Ancestor, everything I said is true!"
Weilusi waved his hand, and a screen beside him immediately began playing the video of Lu Qingshan and the others surrounding and attacking Demon God Meng Qi earlier.
After watching the video, shock immediately appeared on Kanuo's face. "To possess an Earth Domain at the Planetary Level... this is simply unbelievable!"
After all, a Star Level warrior who possessed a domain was already considered an exceptionally gifted genius, let alone someone who possessed one at the Planetary Level.
The Purple River Empire occupied the six surrounding galaxies and possessed over a million inhabited planets, yet the last time a super genius had stepped into the Domain Realm at the Planetary Level had been thirty thousand years ago.
Yet now, he had actually come across such a super genius?
At this thought, Kanuo quickly said, "Weilusi, then your intention in contacting me this time is..."
"Ancestor!"
Weilusi immediately said, "As you told me before, everyone who steps into the Domain Realm at the Planetary Level is a true super genius without exception. So I contacted you directly this time because I wanted to recommend that Lu Qingshan become your disciple!"
"If you take him as your disciple, under your careful guidance, Lu Qingshan's future achievements will certainly be boundless. When the time comes, he will also be able to lend strength to our Kanuo Family!"
Hearing Weilusi's words, Kanuo could not help feeling tempted. He then asked again, "Weilusi, what is that little fellow's character like?"
At this point, Kanuo was still relatively cautious.
After all, a super genius like Lu Qingshan, who had stepped into the Domain Realm at the Planetary Level, was quite rare even throughout the Golden Lion Empire. Once he was discovered, not only Universe Level experts, but even Domain Lord Level experts would be tempted to take him as a disciple.
If Lu Qingshan were an ungrateful wolf, then even if Kanuo took him as a disciple and taught him with care, it would ultimately be like drawing water with a bamboo basket-all for nothing!
"Ancestor!"
Weilusi spoke again. "I have already looked into Lu Qingshan's past experiences in detail. He is definitely someone who values loyalty and affection, and repays kindness. As long as you take him as your disciple, Ancestor, you absolutely will not be disappointed in the future!"
"Good!"
After hearing this, Kanuo quickly said, "Weilusi, I will set off for your location immediately. You must make sure to build a good relationship with Lu Qingshan!"
"Yes, Ancestor!"
Upon hearing Kanuo's words, Weilusi immediately replied respectfully.
"Boss, how did it go?" Seeing Weilusi end the call, Enstan hurriedly asked.
While Weilusi had been speaking with Ancestor Kanuo, they had been completely unable to learn the specifics of the conversation.
"Brothers!"
Weilusi quickly turned toward the other members of the adventurer team. "I have reported everything about Lu Qingshan and the situation here to the ancestor. He has already set off, and I expect he will arrive before long!"
"The ancestor has already decided to take Lu Qingshan as his disciple, so before he arrives, we must find a way to build a good relationship with Lu Qingshan!"
"Morty, set off now. Head straight for the Lu family estate!"
"Yes, Master!"
The ship's AI, Morty, responded respectfully, then piloted the spaceship into a streak of light, flying swiftly toward the Lu family estate.
Meanwhile, inside the Lu family estate, Li Yunshang was discussing how to deal with the Academy of Sciences with Lu Wenye, Zhao Gang, and the others.
But just then...
Hum!
A saucer-shaped spaceship suddenly appeared above the Lu family estate.
In fact, if Weilusi had wished, even if their spaceship remained above the Lu family estate, no one would have been able to discover it.
But Weilusi and the others had come entirely to make friends with Lu Qingshan, so naturally, they would not conceal their presence.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
As soon as the spaceship was detected, a piercing alarm immediately rang out through the Lu family estate.
Li Yunshang and the others conversing in the reception room were all Planetary Level warriors. The instant they heard the alarm, they rushed straight outside.
When they saw the spaceship hovering above the Lu family estate, wary expressions immediately appeared on their faces.
Whoosh!
The ship's hatch opened, and Weilusi and the many members of the adventurer team flew straight out.
"Madam Lu, everyone, there is no need to be nervous!"
As soon as Weilusi spoke, the ship's AI, Morty, converted his voice into standard Xuanhuang Star common speech. "We are adventurers from other civilizations in the universe. We bear you no ill will whatsoever!"
"Adventurers from other civilizations in the universe?"
Upon hearing Weilusi's words, Li Yunshang, Zhao Gang, and the others were all momentarily taken aback.
They could accept the idea that other civilizations existed in the universe. After all, Lu Qingshan had founded the Academy of Sciences and researched spaceships precisely so that one day they could make contact with other civilizations in the universe.
But when Weilusi and the others truly appeared before them, they still found it utterly shocking.
Yet they had no doubts about where Weilusi and the others had come from. After all, whether it was the spaceship hovering in the sky or the terrifying auras emanating from Weilusi and his companions, they had never encountered anything like them before.
Just like that, after a round of "friendly exchanges," Li Yunshang and the others soon believed in the goodwill of Weilusi's party.
After all, any one member of Weilusi's party was far stronger than Demon God Meng Qi had been. If they harbored ill intentions, even all the experts on Xuanhuang Star combined would be unable to stop them.
A short while later, inside the quiet room where Lu Qingshan lay.
Weilusi looked at Lu Qingshan lying on the bed. A trace of pain at the expense flashed across his face, but he still took out a green fruit about the size of a grape that gave off a rich fragrance.
"This is a Green Mulberry Fruit. It is extremely precious even in the universe!"
Weilusi gave a brief introduction, then placed the Green Mulberry Fruit into Lu Qingshan's mouth.
The Green Mulberry Fruit melted the moment it entered his mouth, quickly turning into a gentle energy that spread to every part of Lu Qingshan's body.
Only a short while after consuming the Green Mulberry Fruit, Lu Qingshan woke up!
