"The Three-Leaf Emblem, the Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner... Qingshan, you've become the Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner?"
Kevin's tone was incredulous.
As a seasoned Domain Lord who had been stuck at the Domain Lord level for hundreds of thousands of years, he knew exactly how difficult it was to break through to the World Lord.
In the Black Dragon Mountain Starfield, the sixteen major families, second only to the Two Great Holy Lands, were founded by the World Lord. Each family has countless star systems under its command as its territory.
"Father..."
Lu Lingxiao's eyes were filled with shock.
How long has Father been away from Maple Leaf Star?
In less than fifty years, he has already broken through to the World Lord level.
Seeing the surprised looks on his two relatives' faces, Lu Qingshan smiled and said, "The cultivation conditions in the Ganwu Mystic Region are excellent, and I was also lucky enough to obtain some resources, which accelerated my cultivation speed at the Domain Lord stage, allowing me to directly break through to the World Lord."
" Qingshan... what is this...?" Kevin stammered, unable to speak coherently.
"Father-in-law, Lingxiao, tell me what you want to see me about? I was cultivating just now and didn't receive your call request."
"This is what Qingshan is like..."
Kevin reluctantly shifted his gaze from his son-in-law, Lu Qingshan, and looked at Lu Lingxiao, saying, "It's about Lingxiao. I think we should discuss it with you before making a decision."
"What is it?" Lu Qingshan asked, looking at his son.
Lu Lingxiao took a deep breath to calm himself down before recounting the events.
It turns out that when Lu Lingxiao was training in the Killing Field, he caught the eye of a powerful figure from Black Dragon Mountain who wanted to take him as a disciple.
Lu Lingxiao didn't know the other party's identity or specific strength, so he could only discuss it with his grandfather. His grandfather was also unsure of what to do, so he turned to Lu Qingshan.
What did that person look like?
Lu Qingshan spoke with a hint of surprise.
"It was a man wearing Golden Armor. He wasn't the one who spoke to me at first; he only approached me later, saying he wanted to take me as his apprentice, but he didn't force me and told me to think it over carefully."
"Oh..."
Lu Qingshan never expected that the mysterious expert who had taken a liking to his son would be so confident in accepting a disciple, without even mentioning his name.
"Do you have any video footage of the other party? I have high access levels; perhaps I can help you check it."
Lu Qingshan pondered for a moment, then asked.
"No, we met in the Virtual Universe. How could I dare to record a video of such a powerful figure in front of me..."
"Hmm, it's alright... Then let's not refuse for now. Judging from your description, the other party should be a World Lord expert. Perhaps I can ask the Black Dragon God Lord..."
"Father, you can contact the Black Dragon God Lord?" Lu Lingxiao was shocked.
The Black Dragon Mountain God Lord is the local tyrant of the Black Dragon Mountain Empire. Nearly half of the annual income of their Maple Leaf Empire is handed over to the Black Dragon Mountain Empire... Not to mention that Immortal God Lord, even the Black Dragon Mountain Emperor, Lu Lingxiao has only met him once.
"I don't have his contact information, but perhaps I could pay him a visit posing as the Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner!"
Lu Qingshan said with a smile.
Kevin patted his grandson on the shoulder and said, " Lingxiao, although you are the emperor of a country, your knowledge is far inferior to your grandfather's. The Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner a figure of such stature; if he were to take the initiative to visit, the Black Dragon God Lord would generally not refuse!"
Lu Lingxiao opened his mouth, never expecting that in just a few decades, his father had grown to a level he could never have imagined.
Lu Qingshan went directly to the Black Dragon Mountain government office and submitted a letter of invitation... following normal diplomatic channels.
Upon seeing Lu Qingshan's identity Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner, the officials of the Black Dragon Mountain government dared not neglect him and immediately submitted the documents.
Lu Qingshan didn't wait long.
The next day, he was received by the Black Dragon Mountain God Lord.
In a grand hall of the Black Dragon Holy Land, Lu Qingshan met the legendary Black Dragon Mountain God Lord, a tall and powerful figure covered in black dragon scales with dragon horns on his head.
There were more than a dozen powerful World Lord lords around him.
" Lu Qingshan pays his respects to the Black Dragon God Lord."
As Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner, representing the official Ganwu Dojo, Lu Qingshan only needed to bow slightly to show his respect for the Immortal God.
" Lu Qingshan... that Giant Axe Warrior from 80,000 years ago... I never imagined you'd already be Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner of the Ganwu Dojo. Receiving your invitation startled me..."
Black Dragon Mountain has its own intelligence agency... After receiving the post, they investigated Lu Qingshan thoroughly and knew all about his background before he went to the headquarters of the Ganwu Dojo.
Even the Black Dragon God Lord was filled with curiosity about someone who had only broken through to the Domain Lord a few decades ago but was now Three-Leaf Ganwu Practitioner.
"I only managed to break through by chance because I obtained some resources from the Ganwu Mystic Region; I dare not compare myself to the God Lord."
Lu Qingshan sat to the left of the Black Dragon God Lord, which meant that his status in the banquet hall was second only to the Black Dragon God Lord.
Even Meng Huo had no objections, since Lu Qingshan was a guest and represented the Ganwu Dojo.
"Oh, you've been to the Ganwu Mystic Region?"
The Black Dragon Mountain God Lord was somewhat surprised.
"I am unworthy, but I am honored by the Marquis Silvermoon. I am currently serving as a top-tier instructor in the Ganwu Mystic Region, primarily teaching Marquis Silvermoon's disciples."
Lu Qingshan did not write this information on the visiting card, and it was the first time that the Black Dragon God Lord and the others present had heard it.
"Haha, Brother Qingshan is truly extraordinary! No wonder he was able to become Giant Axe Warrior tens of thousands of years ago!"
After hearing about Lu Qingshan's work, the Black Dragon God Lord's attitude became much more serious. That Marquis Silvermoon was one of the Three Hundred Kings and Marquises under the Ganwu Country Lord, a figure even he had to look up to!
It's no wonder that Lu Qingshan has achieved what he has now, given that she took a liking to him!
"Brother Qingshan, what brings you here? If there is any trouble within the Black Dragon Mountain Empire, I will certainly do my best to help."
The Black Dragon God Lord spoke up to inquire.
Lu Qingshan then said, "It's nothing serious, just a small matter concerning my son, Lu Lingxiao. A powerful figure wants to take my son as a disciple, but hasn't left his name. I'd like to ask..."
"Haha, this matter!!" The Black Dragon God Lord laughed heartily, then pointed at Meng Huo and said, "Your son, Lu Lingxiao, was chosen by him. However, it wasn't this guy who wanted to take him as a disciple, but rather another brother of mine, named Ward. He was also at the Peak World Lord, but he was severely injured, and we don't know how much longer he has to live..."
"Brother Qingshan, what a coincidence! I never imagined that the genius I spotted at first glance in the Killing Field would be your offspring!"
Meng Huo exclaimed in surprise.
The Black Dragon Mountain God Lord laughed heartily, "This is what they call 'like father, like son.' Brother Qingshan, please seriously consider the matter of taking on a disciple. Although my brother doesn't have many years left to live, his strength is formidable, second only to mine... and he is also quite wealthy!"
These words are practically blatant temptation.
Lu Qingshan certainly knew.
The Black Dragon God Lord is planning to deepen his relationship with me.
Having connections in the imperial court makes it easier to get an official position. Lu Qingshan's status as a top-level instructor in the Ganwu Mystic Region is extremely important to the Black Dragon God Lord.
With this connection, if any genius from the Black Dragon Mountain royal family were to enter the Ganwu Mystic Region in the future, with Lu Qingshan, a top-tier mentor, to guide them, their chances of success would be far greater than others!
"Since that powerful figure is the God Lord's brother, that's a blessing for Lingxiao. How could I possibly refuse? It's just that Lingxiao is foolish, so I'll have to trouble the God Lord and his teacher to take care of him."
Lu Qingshan bowed in thanks, and the matter was settled.
A living teacher is good, a dead teacher is even better, but none of them can compare to a teacher who is about to die.
A banquet was held in the Virtual Universe. The Black Dragon God Lord spent lavishly, even opening a bottle of God's Intoxication, which cost 8 Hunyuan Unit per bottle. This made World Lord present shout with delight.
If this thing were in reality, it would require 8,000 Hunyuan Unit, and even in the Virtual Universe, it's something they can't afford to consume.
Lu Qingshan quickly integrated into the banquet, exchanging contact information with every World Lord present amidst the clinking of glasses, thus becoming acquainted... The Black Dragon Mountain God Lord even generously granted a complete tax exemption for the Maple Leaf Empire for the future...
After the banquet, everyone dispersed, except for Lu Qingshan and the Black Dragon God Lord who remained in the main hall.
