After obtaining the unicorn horn, did he immediately choose to go into seclusion?

Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment.

It seems that this unicorn horn is of great use to Ling Yu, and she may have even gained some kind of opportunity.

Then he smiled.

Even if Ling Yu obtains an extraordinary opportunity, so what? Can it compare to my own?

He possesses a Clone of a Special Lifeform!

Even though the One-Horned Ghost King was still in the process of being conceived, Lu Qingshan could clearly feel that his affinity for the Time Law was constantly increasing.

With such rapid growth, over time, perhaps when the One-Horned Ghost King Avatar is successfully conceived, his speed of comprehending the Time Origin Law will be not much slower than his speed of Lightning Origin Law Comprehension.

"This path of dissecting the essence of the Time Origin Law is one I should be walking!!"

Lu Qingshan was filled with excitement.

He glanced once more at the house in the center of the manor where Ling Yu lived, then vanished in a flash.

To Lu Qingshan's surprise, Ling Yu emerged from seclusion the next day and came to his residence.

Looking at this outstandingly handsome disciple, Lu Qingshan slowly said, "There seems to be a slight change in you."

"Master's guess is correct. I have come here today to discuss this matter with you!"

Ling Yu took out the unicorn horn from the World Ring she always carried with her.

"Huh? Such a big change!"

Lu Qingshan bought the horn of that One-Horned Ghost King at an auction, so of course he knew what it looked like.

This unicorn horn was originally grayish-brown and lifeless, like a useless piece of metal ore.

But now.

Azure light swirled around the horn, and rows of wondrous runes appeared around it.

Upon closer inspection, the secret patterns are incredibly exquisite, vast like a starry sky, arranged and combined in an extremely complex way.

"These are the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns. How could they suddenly appear? Weren't these Time Origin Law Secret Patterns on this unicorn supposed to have been erased?"

Lu Qingshan had a guess in his mind, but still spoke up in surprise.

"Teacher, this is what happened... After I received this unicorn yesterday..."

Ling Yu spoke slowly, without any concealment, telling everything she knew, not even missing a single detail.

This includes her previous feelings, that strange consciousness, and the changes in her bloodline...

It could be said that Ling Yu had completely revealed that she already considered Lu Qingshan as the person she trusted most, and that her so-called opportunity was actually due to Teacher Lu's help.

"I see..."

Lu Qingshan nodded as if he suddenly understood, and then said:

" Ling Yu, you're lucky. That fragmented consciousness probably wasn't lying to you. Before that senior died, he used a miraculous method to seal the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns runes on the horn, which is why outsiders thought it was just a horn without runes."

He estimated that he was about to disappear after a long period of time, and just happened to encounter you, a lucky one who possessed a trace of his bloodline, so he used his last strength to help you.

Lu Qingshan looked at the horn Time Origin Law Secret Patterns, paused, and then said, "Without that senior's concealment, this horn reveals its original form."

He picked up the unicorn and examined it closely.

"The time runes on that horn are too perfect; that senior must have been an extremely powerful being in his lifetime."

That's obvious.

The fact that a wisp of consciousness could remain for such a long time after death, and even conceal the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns, which even the Immortal of the Ganwu Auction House couldn't discern, shows that the person must have been incredibly powerful in life, at least King Rank being, or perhaps even Venerable...

Even such a powerful One-Horned Ghost King is dead beyond any doubt. Lu Qingshan's excitement at having just obtained Clone has subsided considerably. Even if he has Clone in the future, he still needs to be cautious in everything he does.

"Teacher, this corner has now been returned to its rightful owner."

Ling Yu offered the unicorn with both hands.

Although there was a hint of reluctance in her eyes, Ling Yu knew that the value of this unicorn was too high for her to possess.

Besides, these were originally part of the teacher's collection.

" Ling Yu." Lu Qingshan frowned. "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to make me go back on my word? Since I said I'd lend it to you, I'll lend it to you. At least until the Genius Battle is over, I won't take it back..."

Although you have activated a trace of your bloodline power, the time was too short. Without the help of the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns on this horn, it won't be easy to quickly improve your understanding of the Time Origin Law.

"However, I'm not without expectations..." Lu Qingshan said with a smile, "My bottom line for you before was being in the top ten of the universe, but now, I hope you'll strive for the number one spot in the universe!"

Number one in the universe!!

Ling Yu took a deep breath.

Who would have thought that ten years ago, her teacher, Marquis Silvermoon, expected her to be among the top 1,000 in the entire universe?

In just ten short years, such a dramatic change has taken place in her, and all of this...

Ling Yu looked at Teacher Lu, who had a smile on his face, and sighed inwardly.

"It's all thanks to Teacher Lu."

From movement techniques to mastering the Time Law, and now to the changes in her body's bloodline... all of Ling Yu's progress has been inseparable from Lu Qingshan's participation and influence... It can be said that without Lu Qingshan, her goal might still be to be among the top 1,000 in the universe.

"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Getting first place would be ideal, but even if that's not possible, the minimum guarantee is the Primordial Secret Realm..."

He said half-jokingly, "My teacher's bonus will depend on you."

"Teacher, don't worry, I'm definitely number one in the universe!"

Ling Yu said resolutely.

"Hmm." Lu Qingshan smiled, glanced at the unicorn, and said, "This is something you and I should keep to ourselves. Don't let a third person know!"

"Teacher, I understand."

Ling Yu took a deep breath and finally put the unicorn away. She had promised Teacher Lu that she would win first place in the Genius Battle, and without it, the chances would be greatly reduced.

After confessing, Ling Yu felt relieved and didn't linger at Lu Qingshan's villa. She said goodbye and went back to continue her cultivation.

Now her cultivation is very simple; she only needs to continue practicing the Wind Thunder Sword technique that Lu Qingshan taught her. All the remaining time can be used to comprehend the Time Origin Law...

After Ling Yu left, Lu Qingshan stood at the doorway, looking down the mountain.

He recalled the Time Origin Law Secret Patterns on that single horn; those perfect patterns seemed to be the most beautiful things in the universe.

"The runes on that unicorn are also very useful to me, but it's not very nice to take back something that's been given away... Besides, I have the Star Chart to study, which is more effective than looking at the runes. Ling Yu needs that thing more..."

"Looks like I'm pretty lucky. I can snag a bargain just by attending an auction... Lu Qingshan knew all too well that the collectible he bought for 30 Hunyuan was now priceless. If he were to auction it off again, it could probably fetch an astronomical figure. Perhaps Ganwu Auction n't be qualified to list this treasure..."

" The Time Law Secret Patterns on that unicorn horn are treasures that even Immortal who have comprehended the Time Law would desperately crave..."

"I hope Ling Yu knows what's important and keeps it safe so it won't be easily discovered before she wins first place in the Genius Battle..."

Lu Qingshan was still somewhat confident that Ling Yu could win first place in the Genius Battle.

He knew some information: the future Bolan, fifty thousand years from now, was hailed as a genius appearing only once every tens of thousands of epochs. This meant that it was simply impossible for someone like Bolan to exist in these days...

Ling Yu's current strength is comparable to that of Luo Feng and Rong Jun in the finals. Ten years from now, even if she still can't catch up with Bo Lan, she will probably still be the undisputed number one!

If I cultivate a disciple who is the top Genius Battle, then in the future, even the three Immortal, such as Marquis Silvermoon, will probably have to give me some face in this Ganwu Mystic Region...

After all, the Ganwu Country Lord, who was the biggest debtor, was counting on cultivating talent to pay off his debts. A teacher like Lu Qingshan was exactly the kind of talent he had been dreaming of!
