"Dragon Essence?"
"What is this?"
Yun Shan asked, a look of confusion appearing in his eyes: "Could it be related to dragons?"
On the Dou Qi Continent, the Dragon race did indeed exist.
Moreover, anything even remotely connected to the Dragon race was certainly no ordinary object.
"Dragon Essence is the inner core from within a Divine Dragon. The Divine Dragon is one of the four great divine beasts from the Wind and Cloud World. The Divine Dragon's inner core should be just like the magic cores found within the magical beasts of the Dou Qi Continent—it is the crystallization of the Divine Dragon's entire power," Ye Yun explained indifferently.
"Divine Dragon, divine beast!"
Hearing the words tumble from Ye Yun's mouth caused Yun Shan's expression to change drastically.
In his view, any object bearing the words "divine" or "dragon" was bound to be a heaven-defying treasure.
Now, with the two words "Divine Dragon" combined, it was enough to show just how terrifying the origins of this creature were.
"Another treasure from the Wind and Cloud World!"
Upon hearing the words "Wind and Cloud," Yun Yun's heart stirred once again.
The Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin and the Peerless Sword in her possession both originated from that world.
That world truly possessed so many treasures; it was not to be underestimated.
"Boss Ye, since this Dragon Essence is the Divine Dragon's magic core, what kind of effects does it have?" Nalan Yanran's face also revealed a look of shock, and she immediately asked Ye Yun with immense anticipation.
She thought to herself, since this Dragon Essence came from within a Divine Dragon, it must possess incredible power.
Ye Yun did not beat around the bush and spoke directly: "The effects of Dragon Essence are numerous."
"After consuming Dragon Essence, one can significantly increase their strength. Furthermore, Dragon Essence can alter a person's constitution. Those who consume it can attain longevity, an immortal body, immunity to all poisons, and other abilities..." Ye Yun listed the effects of consuming the Dragon Essence one by one.
"What!"
"Significantly increase cultivation!"
"Longevity, immortality!"
"Immunity to all poisons!"
After hearing Ye Yun's introduction, everyone widened their eyes, staring at the Dragon Essence on the counter with incredulous gazes. Once the realization hit them, their eyes burned with intense fervor.
Setting aside the other abilities, the mere prospect of longevity was enough to drive anyone mad.
What was the purpose of cultivation, if not for longevity and immense power?
And this single Dragon Essence could actually satisfy their desires directly.
This was simply too incredible.
"Longevity, immortality..."
Yun Shan looked at the Dragon Essence on the counter, his expression one of burning obsession. He couldn't help but reach out to grab it, but the moment he made contact, an intensely scorching heat surged forth, causing him to instinctively pull his hand back.
"So hot!"
Yun Shan stared at the Dragon Essence in shock, not daring to act rashly for the moment.
"May I ask, Boss Ye, how should this Dragon Essence be consumed?" Yun Shan then inquired of Ye Yun.
Ye Yun said indifferently: "Just swallow it directly."
"Swallow it directly?"
Hearing this, Yun Shan glanced at the Dragon Essence, which was as large as a bowl, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
It was so big; how was he supposed to swallow it?
"Boss Ye, can it be cut up before consumption?" At this moment, Nalan Yanran asked a very naive question.
She felt a glimmer of hope; if this Dragon Essence could be divided, that would be wonderful.
Seeing the burning intensity in her master's eyes as he looked at the Dragon Essence, Nalan Yanran knew that this treasure likely wouldn't be for her.
After all, there was only one Dragon Essence; it was impossible for it to fall into her hands.
But if this Dragon Essence could be divided into several portions, then perhaps things would be different.
She had been the one to open it, after all; surely it wouldn't be too much to ask for a share.
Yun Shan found Nalan Yanran's words somewhat amusing. This silly girl, how could such a treasure as Dragon Essence be divided?
To his utter disbelief, after hearing Nalan Yanran's question, Ye Yun actually nodded and said: "It can."
Ye Yun remembered that in the Wind and Cloud story, a single Dragon Essence had indeed been divided into seven parts.
Yun Shan was stunned: "It can actually be divided."
Upon hearing this, Nalan Yanran said with excitement: "Boss Ye, could I trouble you to help me divide it?"
She was very happy; if it were divided, perhaps she would also get to taste the Dragon Essence.
"No problem."
Ye Yun nodded without refusal, then reached out and gave the Dragon Essence a light tap.
With a flash of dazzling golden light, the Dragon Essence, originally the size of a bowl, shattered into seven identical golden spheres, each the size of an egg.
"Wow, it actually turned into seven pieces."
Looking at the Dragon Essence now divided into seven on the counter, Nalan Yanran beamed with joy; with seven pieces, she could surely claim at least two for herself.
Three for Grandmaster, two for Teacher, and two for me.
Yes, that's settled.
Nalan Yanran then reached out to touch one of the Dragon Essence spheres.
"Huh, it's not as scorching as before."
She then tried to pick up a small Dragon Essence, supporting it with her Dou Qi, and succeeded without feeling any heat.
After a moment of hesitation, she picked up three small Dragon Essence spheres and handed them to Yun Shan: "Grandmaster, these are for you."
Yun Shan was stunned, then accepted the three spheres with a beaming smile, feeling deeply gratified; his decision yesterday had indeed been correct, as this girl Yanran's luck was simply better than his own.
With these three Dragon Essence spheres, he would certainly be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm in one go.
Moreover, Boss Ye had just mentioned that consuming Dragon Essence could grant one the ability of immortality.
Although it was now split into seven, having obtained three, living for another thousand years or so shouldn't be too much to ask.
Thinking of this, Yun Shan was filled with excitement.
His lifespan was nearing its end, and he had only a few years left to live.
But now, not only did he see the hope of breaking through to Dou Zong, but he could also attain immortality—this was truly a monumental surprise.
Nalan Yanran then picked up two more Dragon Essence spheres and handed them to Yun Yun, smiling as she said: "Teacher, these are for you."
Yun Yun had been watching Nalan Yanran with anticipation, and she quickly accepted the two small spheres, feeling a wave of relief; this girl Yanran was so well-behaved that she, as her teacher, could no longer bully her like she used to.
Hmm, she would compensate her with a bucket of Instant Noodles later.
Off to the side, Gu He watched longingly as Nalan Yanran tucked the remaining two small Dragon Essence spheres into her Storage Ring.
From start to finish, Nalan Yanran hadn't even glanced at him once.
Gu He's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but considering that the Dragon Essence had been opened by the girl herself, he had no right to interfere with how she distributed it; after hesitating, he decided not to shamelessly ask for any.
However, the envy, jealousy, and resentment in Gu He's eyes could not be hidden.
After all, consuming this thing meant attaining immortality!
Who wouldn't want such a treasure?
