Tian Shi's Comprehension Was Too Astonishing!

Ji Qiyue's eyes widened in shock!

An Apprentice Grade of native origin? A Force Amplitude of ten times? He had even touched upon Artistic Conception?

Although she came from a family of universe citizens, she knew what conditions were like for natives. To reach such a level at the Apprentice Grade was far stronger than most people who had been universe citizens from the start and cultivated profound inheritances!

Senior Brother Tian Shi's talent and comprehension were simply too astonishing!

No wonder Master had directly accepted him as a personal disciple!

Wang Yu looked at Ji Qiyue and continued, "You were able to comprehend Artistic Conception at the Planetary-level, which is fairly good. You could also be rated as a Third-Class Elite in the Ganwu Dojo."

"But compared to your senior brother, you are clearly still far behind."

"Therefore, you can only begin as a registered disciple. You still need to cultivate diligently."

"This disciple understands!" Ji Qiyue answered respectfully. She felt neither resentment nor dissatisfaction. Compared with her senior brother, she truly fell far short, so their different treatment was only natural.

"I do not have high demands for you," Wang Yu said.

"After you break through to the Star-level, as long as you comprehend a domain within a hundred years, you can retain your status as a Third-Class Elite of the Ganwu Dojo."

"As long as you can accomplish that, you can become an official personal disciple."

"If you cannot... then you will be expelled and lose your status as a registered disciple."

"This disciple will definitely work hard!" Ji Qiyue's heart tightened, and she hurriedly answered loudly.

However, she understood that this would not be so easy to accomplish.

For some reason, she had recently seemed to have suddenly gained insight. Every time she listened to her mentor's lectures, she gained many profound insights. Her rate of progress had far exceeded that of the past, allowing her to quickly comprehend Artistic Conception.

But once she broke through to the Star-level, there would be conditions for maintaining the treatment and status of a Third-Class Elite.

As Master had said, she had to comprehend a domain within a hundred years after breaking through.

A domain... was a realm far more profound than Artistic Conception!

She was truly a little worried that she might not be able to maintain her recent excellent state and continue progressing so quickly.

If she failed, she would lose her status as a registered disciple and no longer be one of Master's disciples...

Wang Yu paid no attention to his disciples' reactions. With a thought, he took two exquisite bottles from his space ring.

The bottles were completely transparent and filled with beautiful, dreamlike multicolored liquid.

Using telekinesis, he guided the two bottles gently into Tian Shi and Ji Qiyue's hands.

At the same time, an invisible force spread outward from Wang Yu, instantly enveloping the entire palace hall.

This was Wang Yu's domain. Fully unleashed at this moment, it completely isolated the inside from the outside. Unless a powerhouse far stronger than him arrived, no one could investigate the situation within the hall.

"Master, this is..." Tian Shi looked curiously at the bottle in his hand.

"Bloodline Evolution Potion," Wang Yu said directly.

"Bloodline Evolution Potion?" Ji Qiyue blinked her large eyes. This was the first time she had heard of such a thing.

"Neither of your genetic bloodlines is particularly good, and the advantages of one's bloodline greatly affect cultivation," Wang Yu said as he looked at them.

"For ordinary bloodlines, breaking through to the Universe-level is incredibly difficult. Countless ninth-rank Star-level cultivators remain unable to break through for their entire lives."

"But for high-grade bloodlines, even if they do nothing and never cultivate at all, they will naturally become Star-level upon adulthood. Some high-grade bloodlines even become Universe-level upon adulthood!"

"Human bloodlines are divided into ten grades. The most exceptional First-Class Bloodline reaches the Domain Lord Level upon adulthood!"

"Hiss! Universe-level and Domain Lord Level upon adulthood?" Tian Shi and Ji Qiyue both sucked in a breath.

"After you use the Bloodline Evolution Potion, your genetic bloodline level will be greatly improved, directly reaching a level considered superior even among Humanity. The foundations of both your bodies and souls will become much stronger."

"In the future, your energy accumulation will be faster, your comprehension will be better, and your insights will come more easily."

"Th-this potion is actually so precious!?" Ji Qiyue could not help crying out. She carefully held the bottle in both hands as though she had obtained a priceless treasure!

Tian Shi's breathing also quickened slightly. He stared at the flowing multicolored liquid in the bottle, his eyes burning!

A treasure capable of greatly improving one's bloodline was absolutely priceless in the universe! Yet Master had simply given it to them?

Wang Yu looked at them solemnly. "Bloodline evolution agents are incomparably precious. They are forbidden from circulation and trade on the market. Only by joining the Virtual Universe Company and becoming one of its members can one qualify to obtain them."

"For me to obtain these two portions, I also paid no small price."

"More importantly, after you use the potion and your bodies undergo bloodline evolution, you yourselves will become extraordinarily valuable treasures."

"Treasure?" Their expressions changed slightly.

"In the universe, there is the Bloodline Extraction Secret Art, the Possession Secret Art, and the Soul Enslavement Secret Art. In the eyes of many powerhouses, those with high-grade bloodlines are moving treasures that will draw countless covetous gazes!" Wang Yu said seriously.

"For example, among the ten highest-ranked human bloodline races, two are the Manka Star People and the Desolate God Tribe People."

"They possess Humanity's most exceptional First-Class Bloodline and reach the Domain Lord Level upon adulthood!"

"Such powerful bloodlines naturally attract countless greedy eyes. The universe has never lacked desperate criminals who disregard the consequences."

"Although the evolution potion I gave you cannot reach such an exceptional level, it is enough to raise your bloodlines to the superior ranks of Humanity. Once exposed, it will likewise draw countless malicious gazes."

"Fortunately, unless high-end instruments are used for detailed testing, ordinary powerhouses cannot determine another person's bloodline through investigation. Therefore, as long as you keep this secret to yourselves and never tell anyone that you used bloodline evolution agents, there will not be much of a problem."

"Every powerhouse has secrets of their own. Although quite a few powerhouses are broad-minded and do not care about others' secrets, those without such breadth who discover someone else's secret and immediately seek to kill and seize it are naturally the majority."

"Learn to hide your secrets well. Consider this a test for you."

Tian Shi and Ji Qiyue left with grave expressions.

Master had bestowed a treasure that could evolve their bloodlines and improve them in every aspect, but the price was that countless powerhouses in the universe would covet their bodies and bloodlines if they learned of it?

For the two of them, who were still only at the Planetary-level, this naturally weighed heavily on their hearts.

Watching them leave, Wang Yu also considered whether this would put the two in danger.

However, this was unavoidable. Possessing treasures would inevitably draw covetousness and plunder.

Even if he did not give them bloodline evolution agents, would he not have to give them other treasures in the future?

The result would still be the same. As long as a treasure was valuable enough, powerhouses would seek to seize it.

The only solution was to possess enough strength to protect one's treasures and wealth.

Even he was no exception. He had to rely on strength, or on the value represented by strength, in exchange for the conditions needed to protect himself.

After the two left, they immediately used the potions.

What Wang Yu had given them was indeed not a Domain Lord-level Bloodline potion.

However, it was only one grade lower: a Universe-level Bloodline potion.

Each bottle cost 20 billion Universe Coin!

Moreover, even the most ordinary bloodline evolution agents were already prohibited from sale. Universe-level Bloodlines... among Humanity, all belonged to extremely renowned top-tier major clans.

For example, the future Hu Yan Bo had once possessed a member of the Longke Tribe, which possessed a Second-Class Bloodline. The Longke Tribe's bloodline ranked within the top thirty among Humanity.

Bloodline potions of such a grade were naturally even more strictly forbidden from trade and circulation, yet they were also treasures desired by countless people.

After using the potions, Tian Shi and Ji Qiyue's bloodlines both rose to Second-Class Bloodlines, causing their cultivation results in every aspect to soar.

Energy accumulation was naturally the most basic benefit. With the slightest use of some treasures, they easily reached the ninth rank of the Planetary-level.

Not only that, but both their Force Amplitude, telekinetic amplitude, and realm of insight improved greatly as well.

Tian Shi reached the realm of Unity of Heaven and Man, which was the peak of Artistic Conception.

Although Qiyue was far inferior to Tian Shi in innate comprehension, she also improved greatly. She would likely reach Unity of Heaven and Man in another two or three years.

According to the standards major factions had for elite geniuses, comprehending Artistic Conception at the Planetary-level made one a Third-Class Elite, reaching Unity of Heaven and Man made one a Second-Class Elite, and comprehending a domain made one a First-Class Elite.

Thus, he now had one Second-Class Elite and one Third-Class Elite under him.

A Third-Class Elite was one thing, but for someone with territory as small as his to actually produce a Second-Class Elite...

Once this was reported, quite a few Two-Leaf Qian Wu Practitioners were greatly surprised.

A Second-Class Elite was enough to make some Domain Lord-level powerhouses interested in taking a disciple. However, once they learned that he was Wang Yu's personal disciple, they could only give up helplessly.

No matter what, nurturing geniuses was the greatest achievement in the Ganwu Dojo. Producing a Second-Class Elite earned Wang Yu quite a few contribution points from the Ganwu Dojo.

Although he had no need to exchange them for any resources at all, having greater contributions would make things more convenient for him in the future and allow him to request the protection of powerhouses.

The Virtual Universe Company was naturally an even more powerful faction, but one could never have too many connections. The more powerhouses he could establish ties with, the better.

Just as Wang Yu was considering when he should deliver the goods to the Commerce Department.

Emperor Ivan suddenly sent him an email asking about the progress of his procurement.
