Another Return, the Leap of Life

In the Virtual Universe, inside a small residence Qi Yuan had purchased.

Qi Yuan sat on the sofa in his room, his gaze fixed on the virtual screen before him.

At the center of the screen was only one option: "Treasury."

Ding!

Qi Yuan selected and opened the Treasury. Categories such as "Secret Techniques," "Resources," and "Technological Weapons" immediately appeared on the screen.

Qi Yuan opened them one by one to inspect them—

After all, this was a treasury open to external members. Though each category contained a wide variety of items, most could still be bought outside with money, merely at a slight discount.

The only treasures that could truly be called "extremely rare" were a limited few, such as Bloodline Evolution Potions, and every one of them came with strict purchase restrictions.

For instance, the Bloodline Evolution Potion he had been paying attention to from the start could only be purchased three times at most by each external member.

Moreover, only the first purchase enjoyed the discounted price of 100 million Lan Ting Coins, a currency on the level of Qian Wu Coins. Any additional purchases had to be made at the original price of 1 billion Lan Ting Coins.

For example, the "B-class orbital cannon" under Technological Weapons was not only frighteningly expensive, but also required a certain number of contribution points to purchase!

"Of course. The Virtual Universe Company has countless core and internal geniuses. How could truly good things possibly be left for external members to get cheaply?"

Qi Yuan slowly sighed and closed the screen.

Just then, his eyes shifted slightly as his consciousness swiftly withdrew from the Virtual Universe.

Tie Jun City, in a secluded courtyard.

Crack!

The courtyard gates opened, revealing three men and women dressed in black battle suits standing outside.

The man at the lead carried a briefcase, while the other two stood at his sides. The instant they saw Qi Yuan appear, the black glasses worn by the leading man rapidly scanned him.

"Identity confirmed. Delivery may proceed."

"Qi Yuan, this is your S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion."

The cold-faced man in black directly opened the briefcase. Inside was a vial-like slender syringe containing a liquid that shimmered with rainbow light.

"The S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion has finally arrived!"

Qi Yuan's eyes gleamed as he quickly took the briefcase.

"Thank you, everyone." He nodded to the three people in black.

"Mhm. The mission is complete. We'll be leaving."

The leading man nodded slightly, then immediately turned and flew away with the other two.

After they left, Qi Yuan quickly shut the courtyard gates. Only after activating the courtyard's defensive functions did he return to his room.

"The S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion is a treasure a tier above the ordinary Bloodline Evolution Potion I had expected!"

I wonder what treasure it will return if I use it as a Gift?

The colorful liquid inside the slender syringe was incomparably beautiful—beautiful enough to make one's heart tremble.

The System Return opportunity for the new month had just finished cooling down. Without hesitation, he called out, "Liao Li, come here!"

Whoosh!

The moment his voice fell, a nimble figure clad in silver-white Battle Armor appeared in his room.

It was Liao Li, the disciple he had bought back from the slave market not long ago.

Liao Li wore silver-white Battle Armor transformed from her Force Battle Suit. Her originally disheveled long hair had become countless small purple braids, and together with the mysterious purple markings on her cheeks, she gave off an exceptionally wild air.

"Teacher."

Liao Li respectfully bowed to Qi Yuan, somewhat restrained.

Ever since this teacher had brought her back a month ago, aside from granting her a Godly Battle Suit at the beginning, he had spent all his remaining time shut up in his room.

He neither taught her nor assigned her anything to do. He did not seem like a teacher at all.

Until now, this was only the second time she had "met" this teacher.

"Heh, I gained some insights during this period and ended up neglecting you. How is it? Have you adjusted to life here?"

Qi Yuan spoke with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, Teacher. This place is naturally ten million times better than that dungeon. This disciple has adjusted very well."

Liao Li answered carefully.

"Mhm."

Seeing how unfamiliar and reserved she seemed around him, Qi Yuan casually changed the subject.

"Do you know about the ten ranks of bloodlines among the Human Race?"

When Liao Li shook her head blankly, he continued, "The Human Race in the universe is incomparably vast, with tens of millions of races, but they can roughly be divided into these ten ranks."

"The first rank of human bloodlines: upon reaching adulthood, one can attain the Domain Lord level."

"The second rank of human bloodlines: upon reaching adulthood, one can attain the Universe Level."

"The third and fourth ranks both reach the Star Traveller level in adulthood."

"The fifth and sixth ranks both reach the planetary level in adulthood."

"The seventh and eighth ranks reach the Apprentice Level in adulthood."

"The ninth and tenth ranks are both considered mediocre in adulthood. However, based on cultivation talent and the probability of producing powerful experts within the race, they are divided into the ninth and tenth ranks."

He repeated to Liao Li what he had read in the original work before asking again, "Do you know which rank your race's bloodline belongs to?"

"Which rank?"

Liao Li thought for a moment before replying uncertainly in a soft voice, "Most members of our tribe can reach the Earth level after becoming adults. Oh, that is, the planetary level. We should... probably count as the seventh or eighth rank."

"Mhm. Then your race's foundation is quite good. No wonder you were able to reach the Star Traveller level."

Qi Yuan nodded and pushed the briefcase containing the S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion toward Liao Li.

"Teacher, this is...?"

Liao Li's gaze was instantly drawn to the dazzling liquid contained within the sharp syringe in the briefcase!

"This is an S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion!"

As Qi Yuan selected the S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion in the briefcase as the System Return's Gift, he continued explaining, "The S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion is an exceptionally precious treasure created by the Virtual Universe Company, one of the five great overlords of the Human Race. After using it, it can transform your bloodline, greatly strengthen your foundation, allow you to cultivate faster in the future, and raise the upper limit of your cultivation!"

"This S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion is worth many times more than a Life Planet!"

"Ah, it's worth many times more than an entire Life Planet!"

Liao Li could not help but be stunned by Qi Yuan's words.

Heavens, a treasure more precious than an entire planet... just how incredible must it be?

And who exactly is this teacher of mine, to be able to obtain something like this?

While Liao Li was still dazed by Qi Yuan's words, she saw the teacher before her—who had suddenly become incomparably mysterious in her eyes—push the case containing the S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion closer to her.

"Take this Bloodline Evolution Potion back and use it. Also, after using it, your own vitality will be greatly depleted. Once the bloodline transformation is complete, immediately consume this Dragon Vein Fruit and cultivate. It will maximize the effects of your cultivation!"

As Qi Yuan spoke, he handed the last Dragon Vein Fruit he had to Liao Li as well.

"Ah, b-both of them are for me?"

Liao Li looked at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with irrepressible shock!

A treasure more precious than an entire planet, for her to use?

This... this was something she had never even dared to imagine!

She was merely a "disciple" bought from the slave market...

"Take them quickly. Cultivate well, and do not waste your teacher's painstaking efforts."

Only after Qi Yuan urged her again did Liao Li seem to awaken from a dream.

"Teacher!"

This time, she called him Teacher from the bottom of her heart.

At that moment, she completely believed that the teacher before her truly wanted to accept her as a disciple, with no ulterior motives or calculations involved.

After all, no matter how she thought about it, her value could never possibly compare to that of an S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion.

"Thank you, Teacher! This disciple will certainly not disappoint your expectations!"

Liao Li kowtowed deeply, then solemnly accepted the briefcase containing the S-class Bloodline Evolution Potion.

At the same time, the long-awaited System notification finally sounded in Qi Yuan's mind—

Gift successfully given.
