"Elder Gu He, are you ready? I'm starting."
Inside the shop, Nalan Yanran held the Peacock Feather and aimed it at Gu He, her pretty face brimming with excitement.
Gu He nodded calmly, pushing his Dou Qi shield to its limit as he remained highly alert.
Although Ye Yun had said no one would die, Gu He still did not dare let his guard down.
Not dying did not mean he would not be injured. What if this hidden weapon called the Peacock Feather seriously wounded him?
He glanced at Yun Yun and Yun Shan, who had turned into mere spectators, and felt somewhat displeased.
Those two were actually going along with Nalan Yanran, that crazy girl. They truly had no sense of propriety.
Seeing Gu He nod, Nalan Yanran no longer hesitated. She gripped the Peacock Feather tightly, then pressed the button on it with her thumb.
Click!
With the sound of machinery turning, the front of the Peacock Feather suddenly opened. Countless hidden weapons shot toward Gu He in a half-fan formation, like a peacock spreading its tail—strangely beautiful.
In an instant, countless hidden weapons struck Gu He's Dou Qi shield.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
A dense barrage of metallic clashes immediately rang through the shop.
Some hidden weapons ricocheted toward Yun Yun and Yun Shan, only to be casually knocked away by the two of them.
After that one strike, the shop quickly returned to silence.
"Elder Gu He, how did it feel? How powerful is my Peacock Feather?"
Nalan Yanran looked at the completely unscathed Gu He and felt somewhat disappointed by the Peacock Feather's power, yet she still unwillingly asked.
Hearing this, Gu He paused. He gave the Peacock Feather in Nalan Yanran's hand a strange look, pondered for a moment, and only then said, "Its power... is comparable to... an attack from a Da Dou Shi."
When the Peacock Feather had fired countless hidden weapons against his Dou Qi shield just now, Gu He had clearly experienced its power.
He estimated that this thing would probably have difficulty even piercing the Dou Qi armor of a Da Dou Shi.
"Ah... that's it?"
Disappointment appeared on Nalan Yanran's face.
Going by Elder Gu He's words, this was obviously trash!
Standing to one side within his Invincible Domain, Ye Yun could naturally sense the power released by the Peacock Feather more clearly than Gu He.
He reckoned that the Peacock Feather could at most pierce the Dou Qi armor of someone at the Da Dou Shi realm.
In the Douluo Continent, the Peacock Feather could shatter a Martial Soul Avatar unleashed by a Soul Sage.
Yet in the Dou Qi Continent, it could only break the Dou Qi armor of a Da Dou Shi.
What did that mean?
A Soul Sage of the Douluo Continent was equivalent to a Da Dou Shi of the Dou Qi Continent.
That was reasonable, right?
After learning the power of the Peacock Feather in her hand, Nalan Yanran directly stored it in her Storage Ring and lost all interest in studying it further.
She was extremely unhappy. She had not expected to open such a useless item on her very first try today.
Arriving at the counter, Nalan Yanran pulled herself together again and secretly swore that she would definitely open some earth-shattering treasure.
Smash!
The next moment, Nalan Yanran directly reached out and shattered a Jar.
As a dazzling glow emerged, the shattered Jar vanished completely.
Nalan Yanran focused her eyes and immediately widened them in surprise.
"What is this?"
A golden sphere as large as a bowl sat on the counter. The golden liquid within seemed to be flowing, radiating astonishing energy.
Nalan Yanran reached out to take it, then drew her hand back as if shocked by electricity and cried out, "So hot!"
The instant she touched the golden sphere, a scorching sensation swept through her, making her immediately pull back her hand.
Ye Yun's gaze swept over the golden sphere, and he instantly obtained its information.
Dragon Essence: From the Divine Dragon, one of the Four Great Divine Beasts in [Wind and Cloud]. It contains extremely terrifying energy. After consuming it, one can increase cultivation, gain immortality, immunity to all poisons, and an undying dragon body.
After reading the information on the golden sphere, a trace of surprise flashed through Ye Yun's eyes.
Nalan Yanran had actually opened Dragon Essence.
It was truly surprising.
This golden sphere was actually Dragon Essence!
In the Wind and Cloud World, there were four great divine beasts: the Divine Dragon, Phoenix, Fire Qilin, and Dragon Turtle.
This Dragon Essence was a supreme treasure from within the Divine Dragon. Even in a fantasy world, its effects would still make it a heaven-defying treasure.
No one could resist the temptation of immortality. Compared to eternal life, money, women, love, and power were all not worth mentioning. Dragon Essence possessed the ability to grant immortality, and that was the main reason it was revered as a supreme treasure.
There were two reasons Dragon Essence could grant immortality. First, it contained an enormous amount of energy. As long as that energy was not exhausted, the consumer would never die, even if their head were cut off. Second, Dragon Essence transformed the consumer's body. Even after the energy was exhausted, the transformed body could continue to live forever. Moreover, after being transformed by Dragon Essence, the consumer could gain some heaven-defying abilities.
After Duan Lang consumed two Dragon Essences, he gained the Demon Hand, which was indestructible and even more terrifying than a divine weapon. After Jue Xin consumed Dragon Essence, he gained the Hellfire Undying Body; as long as there was fire, his wounds could continuously heal.
Ye Yun had watched Wind and Cloud and knew that after consuming Dragon Essence, one's body's recovery ability would reach an extremely monstrous level. Of course, aside from Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood possessed the same effect.
It could be said that once someone consumed Dragon Essence, their strength would undergo earth-shattering changes. They could also gain heaven-defying abilities such as immortality and an undying body. It was truly terrifying.
"Boss Ye, what exactly is this? Why aren't you saying anything?" Seeing Ye Yun fall silent, Nalan Yanran could not help urging him.
She could not help feeling worried. Could it be that the thing she had opened was too useless?
Had Boss Ye even lost the mood to introduce it?
Hearing Nalan Yanran's voice, Ye Yun immediately came back to his senses. He looked at the Dragon Essence on the counter and slowly said, "Congratulations. You've opened an extraordinary treasure."
"An extraordinary treasure!"
Hearing Ye Yun's evaluation, Nalan Yanran's heart trembled.
Over the past three days, this was the first time she had heard such an evaluation from Ye Yun.
Could it be that she had truly opened a heaven-defying treasure this time?
Thinking of this, Nalan Yanran could not help growing excited.
Upon hearing Ye Yun's assessment, Yun Yun and the other two also revealed shocked expressions, then all turned their gazes toward the enormous Dragon Essence on the counter.
For it to receive such praise from Boss Ye, it was definitely 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."
