Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 36: A Return, A Leap of Life
In the virtual universe, in a small residence that Qi Yuan purchased.

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

In the center of the screen, there is only one option: 'Treasure Vault'.

drop!
Qi Yuan selected the treasure vault and opened it. Immediately, categories such as 'Mystic Arts', 'Resources', and 'Technological Weapons' appeared on the screen.

Qi Yuan clicked on each one to check them out—

However, since it is a treasure trove open to external members, although the contents under each category are diverse, most of them can be purchased outside with money, only at a slightly discounted price.

The only truly rare treasures are a limited number, such as the "bloodline evolution agent," and each one has strict restrictions noted on its packaging.

For example, the 'bloodline evolution agent' that he was particularly interested in from the beginning could only be purchased by a maximum of three times by each external member.

Moreover, only the first purchase can enjoy the discounted price of 10 million Lanting coins (a currency of the same level as Qianwu coins). Subsequent purchases will be subject to the original price of 1 billion Lanting coins.

For example, the 'Class B Railgun' under the 'Technology Weapons' category is not only incredibly expensive, but also requires a certain amount of contribution points to purchase!

"That's true. Virtual Universe Company has plenty of core geniuses and internal talents. How could the truly good stuff possibly fall to these external members?"

Qi Yuan slowly sighed and turned off the screen.

Just then, his gaze shifted slightly, but his consciousness quickly left the virtual universe.

In a secluded courtyard in Iron Army City.

"Crack!"

The courtyard gate opened, and three men and women dressed in black combat suits stood at the entrance.

The man in the lead was carrying a briefcase, with the other two following on either side. The moment Qi Yuan appeared, the black glasses worn by the man in the lead quickly scanned him.

"Identity confirmed, delivery ready."

"Qi Yuan, this is your S-grade bloodline evolution agent."

The cold-faced man in black opened his briefcase, revealing a liquid inside that glowed with iridescent light and was contained in a thin, syringe-like container.

"The S-grade Bloodline Evolution Agent has finally arrived!"

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

"Thank you, everyone." He nodded to the three men and women in black.

"Okay, mission accomplished, let's go."

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

After they left, Qi Yuan quickly closed the courtyard gate and activated the courtyard's defenses before returning to his room.

"An S-grade bloodline evolution agent! This is a treasure a level above the ordinary 'bloodline evolution agent' I expected!"

"I wonder what kind of treasure we can get in return if we use it as a free gift?"

Qi Yuan looked at the colorful liquid in the slender syringe in his hand. The liquid was incomparably beautiful, so beautiful that it made one's heart tremble.

Just then, the system's reward opportunity for the new month had cooled down, and he immediately shouted without hesitation:

"Liao Li, come to me!"

"Whoosh!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than a nimble figure clad in silver armor appeared in his room.

It was the disciple 'Liao Li' that he had recently bought back from the slave market.

At this moment, Liao Li was wearing silver-white armor transformed from the Force suit. Her originally messy long hair had been turned into small purple braids, which, combined with the mysterious purple patterns on her cheeks, gave her an extremely wild temperament.

"teacher."

Liao Li bowed to Qi Yuan somewhat reservedly.

Since bringing me back a month ago, apart from initially giving me a 'divine battle suit', this teacher has been keeping me cooped up in my room the rest of the time.

He didn't teach her or assign her any tasks; he didn't act like a teacher at all.

This is only the second time she has 'met' this teacher.

"Hehe, I've had some insights lately and have neglected you. How are you settling in here?"

Qi Yuan spoke with a smile.

"Thank you for your concern, teacher. This place is a million times better than that dungeon, and I am very comfortable here."

Liao Li answered cautiously, "Mm."

Seeing that she seemed a bit distant, Qi Yuan casually changed the subject.

"Are you aware of the ten major bloodlines of the human race in the universe?"

Seeing Liao Li shake his head blankly, he continued:

"The human race in the universe is incredibly large, with tens of millions of races, which can be roughly divided into these ten categories."

"First-class human bloodline: Can reach the level of a domain lord upon adulthood."

"Second-class human bloodline: Reaching cosmic level upon adulthood."

"Third and fourth class are both stellar-level adults."

"The fifth and sixth classes are both at the planetary level for adults."

"The seventh and eighth grades are apprentice level upon reaching adulthood."

"Third and tenth grades are not even considered up to adulthood, but they are divided into ninth and tenth grades based on factors such as cultivation talent and the probability of producing strong individuals within the race."

He repeated what he had read in the original text to Liao Li, and then asked again:

Do you know which class of your race and bloodline you belong to?

Which category?

Liao Li pondered for a moment, then replied somewhat uncertainly in a low voice:
"Most of our tribe members reach the 'Earth-level' after reaching adulthood. Oh, that's the Planetary level, which should be considered the seventh or eighth rank."

"Hmm, then your race's foundation is quite good. No wonder you were able to reach the stellar level."

Qi Yuan nodded, but pushed the briefcase containing the S-grade bloodline evolution agent in front of Liao Li.

"Teacher, what is this?"

Liao Li's gaze was instantly drawn to the colorful liquid contained in the sharp syringe in the briefcase!
"This is an S-grade bloodline evolution agent!"

As Qi Yuan selected the 'S-grade Bloodline Evolution Agent' from the briefcase as a 'gift' returned by the system, he continued to explain.

"The S-grade Bloodline Evolution Agent is an extremely precious treasure manufactured by the Virtual Universe Company, one of the five overlords of the human race in the universe. After use, it can modify your bloodline, greatly strengthen your foundation, and allow you to cultivate faster in the future, and also make your cultivation limit higher!"

"This S-grade bloodline evolution agent is worth many times more than a life-bearing planet!"

"Ah, it's many times higher than a planet inhabited by life!"

Liao Li was shocked by Qi Yuan's words.

Good heavens, a treasure more precious than a planet, how amazing must it be!
And who exactly is this teacher of mine, that he could even obtain such a treasure?
Just as Liao Li was still slightly stunned by Qi Yuan's words, she saw the 'teacher' in front of her, who had suddenly become incredibly mysterious in her eyes, push the box containing the S-class evolution agent towards her.

"Take this Bloodline Evolution Agent back and use it. By the way, after using the Bloodline Evolution Agent, it will greatly consume your own life force. After the bloodline modification is completed, immediately consume this Dragon Vein Fruit to cultivate, which will maximize the effect of cultivation!"

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

"Ah, all of it, all of it for me?"

Liao Li couldn't help but look at Qi Yuan, her eyes filled with uncontrollable shock!
A treasure more precious than a planet, to be consumed by oneself?

This is something I never even dared to imagine!

I'm just a 'disciple' bought from the slave market.
"Take it quickly, cultivate diligently, and don't let your teacher's hard work go to waste."

It wasn't until Qi Yuan urged her again that Liao Li seemed to wake up from a dream.

"teacher!"

This time, she truly addressed her teacher from the bottom of her heart.

At this moment, she was absolutely certain that the teacher in front of her genuinely wanted to take her as his disciple, without any ulterior motives or calculations.

After all, no matter how you look at it, her value can't possibly match the preciousness of this S-grade bloodline evolution agent.
"Thank you, teacher! I will certainly live up to your expectations!"

Liao Li kowtowed deeply before solemnly accepting the briefcase containing the S-grade bloodline evolution agent.

At the same time, the long-awaited system notification in Qi Yuan's mind finally rang out—

[Gift successful.]
