"Elder Gu He, are you ready? I'm starting now."
Inside the shop, Nalan Yanran held the Peacock Feather, aiming it at Gu He, her pretty face filled with excitement.
Gu He nodded faintly, pushing his Dou Qi shield to its limit, his heart filled with vigilance.
Although Ye Yun had said earlier that no one would die, Gu He dared not be careless.
Not dying didn't mean he wouldn't get hurt; what if this hidden weapon called the Peacock Feather severely injured him?
He glanced at Yun Yun and Yun Shan, who had transformed into "onlookers," feeling somewhat dissatisfied.
These two fellows were actually indulging Nalan Yanran, this crazy girl, in her nonsense; they truly didn't know the gravity of the situation.
Seeing Gu He nod, Nalan Yanran hesitated no longer, gripping the Peacock Feather tightly before pressing her thumb onto the button.
Click!
With the sound of mechanical rotation, the port of the Peacock Feather suddenly opened, and a dense swarm of hidden weapons shot toward Gu He. The projectiles formed a semi-circular pattern, resembling a peacock spreading its tail—a truly beautiful sight.
In an instant, countless hidden weapons struck Gu He's Dou Qi shield.
Clang, clang, clang!
Suddenly, a dense, metallic clashing sound erupted throughout the shop.
Some of the hidden weapons ricocheted, flying toward Yun Yun and Yun Shan, only to be casually swatted away by the pair.
After the single strike, the shop quickly returned to silence.
"Elder Gu He, how does it feel? What do you think of the power of my Peacock Feather?"
Nalan Yanran looked at the unscathed Gu He, feeling disappointed in the Peacock Feather's power, but she asked anyway, unwilling to give up.
Hearing this, Gu He paused, cast a strange look at the Peacock Feather in Nalan Yanran's hand, and after a moment of contemplation, replied, "The power... is comparable to... the attack of a Dou Grandmaster."
Just now, as the Peacock Feather fired countless projectiles against his Dou Qi shield, Gu He had clearly experienced the power of this hidden weapon.
He estimated that this thing would likely struggle to even pierce the Dou Qi armor of a Dou Grandmaster.
"Ah... is that it?"
Hearing this, disappointment appeared on Nalan Yanran's face.
According to Elder Gu He, this was clearly trash!
Ye Yun stood to the side, and within his Invincible Domain, he could naturally sense the power emitted by the Peacock Feather even better than Gu He.
He estimated that the power of this Peacock Feather could, at most, pierce through the Dou Qi armor of the Dou Grandmaster realm.
On the Douluo Continent, this Peacock Feather could break the Martial Soul Avatar unleashed by a Soul Saint.
But here on the Dou Qi Continent, it could only break the Dou Qi armor of a Dou Grandmaster.
What did this signify?
A Soul Saint of the Douluo Continent was equivalent to the Dou Grandmaster realm of the Dou Qi Continent.
That seemed reasonable, right?
After learning the power of the Peacock Feather in her hand, Nalan Yanran directly put it into her Storage Ring, losing all interest in studying it further.
She felt very unhappy; she hadn't expected that the first thing she opened today would be such a piece of junk.
Arriving at the counter, Nalan Yanran regained her spirit, secretly swearing to herself that she would definitely open a heaven-shaking treasure.
Smash!
The next moment, Nalan Yanran reached out and shattered a jar.
Following a burst of dazzling light, the broken jar vanished into thin air.
Nalan Yanran fixed her gaze on the spot, her eyes widening in surprise.
"What is this?"
Resting on the counter was a golden-yellow sphere the size of a bowl, the golden liquid inside appearing to flow, emitting an astonishing amount of energy.
Nalan Yanran reached out to touch it, only to pull her hand back as if electrocuted, exclaiming, "So hot!"
The moment she touched the golden-yellow sphere, a burning sensation surged forth, forcing her to immediately retract her hand.
Ye Yun's gaze swept over the golden sphere, and he instantly obtained information about it.
Dragon Essence: From the body of the Divine Dragon, one of the four great divine beasts in [Wind and Cloud]. It contains terrifying energy; consuming it can improve cultivation, grant longevity, immunity to all poisons, and the ability of an Undying Dragon Body.
After reading the information on the golden-yellow sphere, a flash of surprise crossed Ye Yun's eyes.
Nalan Yanran had actually opened a Dragon Essence.
It was truly surprising.
This golden sphere was actually a Dragon Essence!
In the Wind and Cloud World, there were four great divine beasts: the Divine Dragon, the Phoenix, the Fire Qilin, and the Dragon Turtle.
This Dragon Essence was the supreme treasure from the body of the Divine Dragon, and its effects were heaven-defying even in a fantasy world.
No one could resist the temptation of immortality. Compared to immortality, money, women, romance, and power were all insignificant, and the Dragon Essence possessed the ability to grant one eternal life—which was the primary reason it was revered as a supreme treasure.
There are two reasons why Dragon Essence grants immortality. First, it contains a vast amount of energy; as long as this energy is not exhausted, the user will never die, even if their head is severed. Second, Dragon Essence fundamentally alters the user's body, allowing them to remain immortal even after the energy is depleted. Furthermore, through this transformation, the user gains heaven-defying abilities.
Duan Lang consumed two Dragon Essences and gained a Demon Hand that was indestructible and more terrifying than any divine weapon, while Jue Xin consumed Dragon Essence to obtain the Hellfire Undying Body, which allows him to continuously heal his wounds as long as there is fire present.
Ye Yun had read Wind and Cloud and knew that after consuming Dragon Essence, one's physical recovery reached an incredibly perverse level; of course, besides Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood possesses the same effect.
It can be said that once a person consumes Dragon Essence, their strength will undergo an earth-shaking transformation, and they will also gain heaven-defying abilities such as longevity and an undying body, which is truly terrifying.
"Boss Ye, what exactly is this? Why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing Ye Yun fall into silence, Nalan Yanran could not help but urge him.
She could not help but feel a little worried; could it be that the item she opened was complete trash?
Had Boss Ye lost the mood to even introduce it?
Hearing Nalan Yanran's voice, Ye Yun immediately snapped back to reality. He glanced at the Dragon Essence on the counter and slowly said, "Congratulations, you have opened an extraordinary treasure."
"An extraordinary treasure!"
Hearing Ye Yun's assessment, Nalan Yanran's heart trembled.
In these past three days, this was the first time she had heard such an evaluation from Ye Yun.
Could it be that she had really opened a heaven-defying treasure this time?
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran could not help but feel excited.
Beside her, Yun Yun and the others also revealed looks of shock upon hearing Ye Yun's assessment, and they all turned their gazes toward the massive Dragon Essence on the counter.
To be able to receive such an evaluation from Boss Ye, this must absolutely be a heaven-defying treasure.
"Boss Ye, could you please introduce it to me?" Nalan Yanran looked at Ye Yun with an excited expression.
Ye Yun nodded slightly and said, "This is a Dragon Essence."
