"Dragon Essence?"
"What is that?"
Yun Shan looked puzzled. "Could it have something to do with dragons?"
The Dou Qi Continent also had the Dragon Race.
Moreover, anything associated with the Dragon Race was certainly no ordinary item.
"Dragon Essence is the inner core within a Divine Dragon. The Divine Dragon is one of the four great divine beasts from the Wind and Cloud World. Its inner core should be like the Magic Cores within the magical beasts of the Dou Qi Continent—the crystallization of the Divine Dragon's power," Ye Yun explained calmly.
"Divine Dragon, divine beast!"
The words that came from Ye Yun's mouth made Yun Shan's expression change drastically.
To him, any item bearing the words "divine" or "dragon" was bound to be a heaven-defying treasure.
Now that the two words "Divine Dragon" were combined, it was enough to show just how terrifying its origins were.
"Another treasure from the Wind and Cloud World!"
The moment Yun Yun heard the words "Wind and Cloud," her heart stirred again.
The Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin and the Peerless Sword in her possession had both come from that world.
That world actually possessed so many treasures. It truly could not be underestimated.
"Boss Ye, Dragon Essence is the Magic Core of a Divine Dragon. What effects does it have?" Nalan Yanran was equally shocked, but then she looked at Ye Yun with great anticipation.
She thought that since this Dragon Essence came from within a Divine Dragon, it surely possessed unimaginable power.
Ye Yun did not keep them in suspense and said directly, "Dragon Essence has many uses."
"After consuming Dragon Essence, one's strength can be greatly increased. It can also alter one's physique. Those who consume it can gain longevity, an immortal body, immunity to all poisons, and other abilities..." Ye Yun listed the effects of consuming Dragon Essence one by one.
"What!"
"A massive increase in cultivation!"
"Longevity, immortality!"
"Immunity to all poisons!"
After hearing Ye Yun's introduction, everyone's eyes widened as they stared at the Dragon Essence on the counter in disbelief. Once they recovered, their eyes burned with incomparable desire.
Setting aside its other abilities, the effect of longevity alone was enough to drive anyone mad.
What was the purpose of cultivation? Was it not to attain immortality and great strength?
Yet this single Dragon Essence could directly fulfill their wishes.
It was simply unbelievable.
"Longevity, immortality..."
Yun Shan stared at the Dragon Essence on the counter with an obsessed, fervent look. He could not help reaching out to grab it, but the instant he touched it, an extremely scorching sensation shot through his hand, making him release it instinctively.
"So hot!"
Yun Shan stared at the Dragon Essence in shock, not daring to act rashly for the moment.
"Boss Ye, how should this Dragon Essence be consumed?" Yun Shan then asked Ye Yun.
Ye Yun said calmly, "Simply swallow it."
"Swallow it directly?"
Hearing that, Yun Shan glanced at the Dragon Essence, which was as large as the mouth of a bowl, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
It was so large. How was he supposed to swallow it?
"Boss Ye, can it be cut apart and consumed?" Nalan Yanran asked an innocent question at that moment.
She secretly hoped the Dragon Essence could be divided up.
Seeing the burning desire in her grandmaster's eyes as he looked at the Dragon Essence, Nalan Yanran knew she probably would not get any.
After all, there was only one Dragon Essence. It was impossible for it to fall to her.
But if it could be split into several portions, then things might be different.
She had opened it herself, after all. It would not be unreasonable for her to get a share, would it?
Yun Shan found Nalan Yanran's words rather amusing. This silly girl—how could such a treasure as Dragon Essence possibly be divided?
Yet to his utter disbelief, Ye Yun nodded after hearing Nalan Yanran's question and said, "It can."
Ye Yun remembered that in the Wind and Cloud World, one whole Dragon Essence had been divided into seven pieces.
Yun Shan was dumbfounded. "It really can be divided."
Nalan Yanran immediately became excited. "Boss Ye, could I trouble you to divide it for me?"
She was delighted. If it was divided, perhaps she could taste the Dragon Essence as well.
"No problem."
Ye Yun nodded without refusing. Then he reached out and lightly tapped the Dragon Essence.
With a flash of dazzling golden light, the bowl-sized Dragon Essence split apart, transforming into seven identical golden spheres, each only the size of an egg.
"Wow, it really became seven!"
Seeing the Dragon Essence on the counter divided into seven, Nalan Yanran broke into a broad smile. With seven Dragon Essences, she should be able to get two no matter what.
Three for Grandmaster, two for Teacher, and two for me.
Mm, it was settled, then.
Nalan Yanran then reached out and tried touching one of the Dragon Essences.
"Huh, it's not as hot as before."
Next, Nalan Yanran tried picking up one of the smaller Dragon Essences, using her dou qi to support it. She actually succeeded and did not feel any heat.
After hesitating for a moment, she picked up three small Dragon Essences and handed them to Yun Shan. "Grandmaster, these are for you."
Yun Shan froze for a moment, then accepted the three small Dragon Essences with a smile overflowing across his face. He felt immensely gratified. Sure enough, his decision yesterday had not been wrong. Yanran's luck was better than his.
With these three Dragon Essences, he would definitely be able to break through to the Dou Zong realm in one stroke.
Moreover, Boss Ye had just said that consuming Dragon Essence could grant longevity and immortality.
Although it had now been divided into seven, he had obtained three. Living another thousand years or so should not be too much to ask for.
At that thought, Yun Shan became wildly excited.
His time was already running out. He did not have many years left to live.
But now, not only did he see hope of breaking through to Dou Zong, he could also attain longevity. This was simply an enormous surprise.
Nalan Yanran then picked up two more Dragon Essences and handed them to Yun Yun with a smile. "Teacher, these are for you."
Yun Yun had long been watching Nalan Yanran expectantly. She immediately took the two small Dragon Essences, feeling deeply gratified as well. Yanran was such a good girl. As her teacher, she could not keep bullying her like she had before.
Mm, she would give Yanran a bucket of Instant Noodles later to make it up to her.
At the side, Gu He watched eagerly as Nalan Yanran put the remaining two small Dragon Essences into her Storage Ring.
From beginning to end, Nalan Yanran had not even glanced at him.
The corner of Gu He's mouth twitched. He wanted to say something, but then he remembered that the Dragon Essence had been opened by the little girl herself. He had no right to interfere with how she distributed it. After hesitating, he still could not bring himself to shamelessly ask for one.
However, the envy, jealousy, and resentment in Gu He's eyes could not be concealed at all.
After all, consuming this thing could grant immortality!
Who would not want such a treasure?
