Lu Qingshan and Weilusi had just returned to Kanuo's estate when they found him sitting and talking with a young man at the Star Level.

"Qingshan, Weilusi, you two are back just in time!"

Upon seeing Lu Qingshan and Weilusi, Kanuo quickly beckoned them over. "Let me introduce you. This is His Highness Zi Ying, the thirteenth prince of our Purple River Empire!"

After hearing Kanuo's introduction, Weilusi hurriedly bowed slightly to Zi Ying in greeting. "Greetings, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan naturally also bowed slightly and offered a greeting.

Kanuo then introduced them to Zi Ying. "Your Highness, these two are my newly accepted young disciple, Lu Qingshan, and Weilusi, a newly promoted core member of our Lu Family!"

"Weilusi?"

His Highness Zi Ying paid no attention to Lu Qingshan, who was only at the Universe Level, and instead addressed Weilusi directly. "I've heard of you. Your strength is quite good, and your adventuring team has something of a reputation within our Purple River Empire!"

"Thank you for your praise, Your Highness!" Weilusi hurriedly replied respectfully.

Then His Highness Zi Ying soon turned back to Kanuo with a smile. "Mr. Kanuo, I still have to lead my fleet to wipe out the Star Pirates, so I won't impose any longer!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he rose to leave.

Kanuo hurriedly stood as well. "I'll see you out, Your Highness!"

Seeing this, Lu Qingshan and Weilusi quickly followed.

At the same time, Lu Qingshan secretly transmitted his voice to Weilusi. "Brother Weilusi, just what sort of background does this thirteenth prince have? Even Teacher is being so courteous to him."

"His Highness Zi Ying is one of the candidates to become the next emperor of the Purple River Empire!"

Weilusi quickly explained through voice transmission, "It's said that his mother comes from the Golden Lion Empire's imperial family, and she herself is also a Universe Level expert!"

"If His Highness Zi Ying can break through to the Universe Level in the future, he should have a very strong chance of becoming the next emperor of the Purple River Empire!"

"So that's how it is!"

After hearing Weilusi's explanation, Lu Qingshan nodded slightly.

The Kanuo Family was developing within the Purple River Empire, so naturally they had to treat Zi Ying, a strong contender for its throne, with courtesy.

Soon, Kanuo escorted the thirteenth prince out of his residence.

Only after the thirteenth prince departed aboard his spaceship did Kanuo lead Lu Qingshan and Weilusi back into the sitting room.

"My disciple!"

Once they were seated again, Kanuo soon turned to Lu Qingshan once more. "My disciple, the Golden Lion Empire's administrative office just sent me a message saying that all the relevant data has been reviewed. Your home planet now belongs to you. You should have received the message just now too, correct?"

"I've already received the message. Thank you, Teacher!"

Lu Qingshan hurriedly expressed his thanks respectfully.

"All right!"

Kanuo waved a hand slightly, then asked again with a smile, "How was it? How much did you gain today? Have you bought everything you needed?"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly gave Kanuo a brief account of his experiences over the past day.

"It seems you intend to develop your homeland first!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's account, Kanuo soon nodded and said, "But that's good too. Once your homeland develops, it will be able to provide you with an endless stream of resources. Investing more now is worthwhile!"

"However, Weilusi was right as well. There's no need at all to buy Star Level slaves. Later, I'll send a family fleet to be stationed in your homeland. That way, no Star Pirates will covet it anymore!"

"Thank you, Teacher!" Lu Qingshan immediately expressed his gratitude.

A fleet had at least several dozen Star Level experts, along with all sorts of technological weapons. Aside from Universe Level experts, Star Pirates generally would not be willing to provoke an interstellar fleet.

And Xuanhuang Star was nothing more than an ordinary life-bearing planet. How could it possibly attract a Universe Level expert?

Just like that, Kanuo asked Lu Qingshan and Weilusi a few more questions about their circumstances before having Weilusi withdraw first.

Afterward, Kanuo took Lu Qingshan to the training grounds within the estate.

"My disciple!"

Kanuo soon looked at Lu Qingshan and continued, "Now that your miscellaneous affairs have all been dealt with and you have gained some understanding of the universe, I should see how strong you are at present so I can give you targeted guidance!"

"Next, display every method you have. That will give me a comprehensive understanding of your strength!"

"Yes, Teacher!"

After hearing Kanuo's words, Lu Qingshan immediately acknowledged them.

Then, with a thought, the tier-two Origin Force weapon, Mountain Suppression, appeared in his hands.

It was a simple, ancient-looking long staff, ink-black from end to end and engraved with numerous intricate secret patterns.

Immediately afterward, Lu Qingshan began using Mountain Suppression to demonstrate his many methods.

It had to be said that an Origin Force weapon truly was an Origin Force weapon.

The Heaven-Shaking Long Staff he had previously used on Earth could be considered a divine weapon rarely seen on Xuanhuang Star, but compared with Mountain Suppression, the gulf between them was even greater than that between rotten mud and refined iron!

With Mountain Suppression's help, if Lu Qingshan encountered Demon God Meng Qi again, he would probably be capable of dealing with him even without burning his own soul.

Just like that, Lu Qingshan continuously demonstrated the many methods he had mastered, even including his Earth Domain.

As Kanuo watched Lu Qingshan from the side, a look of wonder gradually appeared on his face.

It truly lives up to the name of a domain!

Kanuo could not help marveling inwardly. A Universe Level expert comprehending a domain only counts as an elite. At the lower realms, the boost to their own strength isn't all that great either. It only lets them fight across one or two minor levels!

But super geniuses who comprehend a domain at the Planetary Level can at least fight opponents four or five stages above them!

This disciple of mine is worse at exerting the strength of his divine body than some Planetary Level elites in the family, yet just because he has entered the Domain Realm, he can unleash Star Level strength!

The Domain Realm truly is enviable. I wonder when I'll have a chance to enter it!

After various thoughts flashed through his mind, Kanuo soon looked at Lu Qingshan. "My disciple, stop!"

Hearing this, Lu Qingshan quickly stopped, then walked up to Kanuo and said respectfully, "Please guide me, Teacher!"

"My disciple, your bodily force exertion is far too poor!"

Kanuo shook his head slightly. "But you can't be blamed for that. After all, you lived in your homeland before and had no way to obtain precious inheritances or guidance!"

"I have a copy of Force Exertion Analysis here. It's said that if you can cultivate it to its highest realm, you can increase your force exertion to a perfect hundredfold! However, even my own force exertion has only reached forty-fivefold at present!"

"Also, although we are Gene Warriors, if we want to fight spirit readers, our own spirit and will must be extremely strong!"

"I have a manual called Soul Tempering here. It's a secret technique used to defend against spirit readers' Soul Attacks. You can cultivate it next!"

"Finally, there's the cultivation of your Earth Domain!"

"Although I have yet to comprehend an Earth Domain, I previously purchased several secret techniques that allow one to study and comprehend the Domain Realm! In particular, if you can fully assimilate and master this Thick Earth Secret Canon, you can possess a Ninefold Domain, and even have a sliver of a chance to step across the threshold of the Earth Origin Law!"

Having said this, Kanuo waved his hand, and streaks of light flew toward the intelligent Optical Computer on Lu Qingshan's arm!

"Thank you for your guidance, Teacher!" Lu Qingshan hurriedly said respectfully.
