Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 88 Three Months, Beginning

The reconstruction and transformation of Leiyuan Star has begun in full swing.

As the original owner of the Lei Yuan clan, Qi Yuan naturally had a special feeling towards them.

Therefore, he was extremely generous in terms of resource investment.

In addition to purchasing a large number of basic cultivation resources such as "Azure Wave Marrow" and "Earth Soul Liquid" through the "treasure trove" inside the virtual universe, he also directly bestowed 100 Dragon Essences upon them!
According to the system's return ratio, a drop of Dragon Essence is worth ten times more than an S-grade Bloodline Evolution Agent!
Qi Yuan currently only has less than 300 drops of Dragon Essence, but this time he directly took out 100 drops!
Of course, in Qi Yuan's view, compared to the enormous suffering they had endured over the years, these 100 drops of Dragon Essence were nothing.

Moreover, the Lei Yuan clan members who survived the previous cruel 'breeding and cultivation' have been tempered to be extremely strong in terms of will and mentality.

What they lack is innate bloodline and aptitude.

Now that Qi Yuan has given them this opportunity to improve their bloodline and aptitude, they might have some unexpected gains in the near future.

He even planned that after these people had accumulated some experience and fully adapted to the power of the bloodline, he would bestow a Primal Crystal upon each of the outstanding individuals among them.

Anyway, he has plenty of these things, and it's not worth selling them for money. It's better to use them to train his own people.

The combination of Dragon Essence and Origin Crystal, along with the accumulation of time, could very well create a Thunder Origin Clan member at the Realm Lord level.

These people will be the backbone and foundation for the future revival and rise of the entire Leiyuan Clan.

Of course, aside from the ordinary clansmen, Qi Yuan's gifts to Cang Fan, his personal disciple who had provided him with great assistance at the beginning of his transmigration, were naturally much more generous.

Needless to say, he also bestowed upon the Dragon Essence and Origin Crystal package after the latest return opportunity cooled down. He also directly bestowed upon the precious plant 'Thousand Treasure Vine' that he had prepared long ago.

The seemingly elderly but sentimental eldest disciple was overwhelmed with gratitude upon receiving such a precious gift. Qi Yuan also gained a 'Nightmare Flower' seedling, which was worth thousands of times more than the 'Thousand Treasure Vine'.

In addition to the two 'Golden Sword Grass' and 'Qijia Vine' that he obtained when he gave the Thousand Yu Vine to his second and third disciples, Qi Yuan now has three top-level plant life seedlings.

Although these three plant life forms are slightly inferior to the Star-Eating Grass, which is known as the 'most resilient and aggressive plant life form' in the original work, they are still enough to possess the combat power of a high-level King after being cultivated to the Immortal level!
However, cultivating these three powerful plant life forms to immortality would require an astronomical amount of resources. If Qi Yuan didn't have the Return System, this "gold-generating" artifact, he wouldn't have had the confidence to keep them in his possession.
In the following two months, Qi Yuan presented Cang Fan with a unit of 'Lan Ke Fruit' and a 'Lian Xin Fruit' as gifts, bringing him endless surprises and also giving him 100 'Life Fruits' and another 'Soul Refining Fruit'.

That's right. When the Lanco Fruit is given as a gift, the base multiplier plus the critical hit bonus results in a return multiplier of over a thousand times. The reward is the 'Life Fruit,' which is known as the second life of a realm lord!
Now, Qi Yuan has as many as 300 of these precious fruits of life!
This is definitely another enormous fortune that would make even some ordinary immortals envious!

However, after this, all of Qi Yuan's gains from the Lanting Auction, except for one Origin Crystal, have been given away.

If he wants to find a suitable 'gift' again, he'll probably have to put in more effort.
Soon it was three months after Qi Yuan returned to Lei Yuan Star.

Qi Yuan was in the dark blue sword-shaped spaceship that he used as a temporary residence.

A dark blue nutrient capsule, more than 20 meters long and 7 or 8 meters wide, is placed in a corner of the spacecraft's rest room.

At one point, the nutrient solution in the entire nutrient tank rapidly decreased, and the tank quickly became empty and extremely dry.

Waves of high-pressure heat washed over Qi Yuan's body like towels, then the cabin automatically added clean water to rinse his body, and finally dried him completely.

"Click!" The hatch of the nutrient tank opened upwards, and Qi Yuan stepped out naked from the nutrient tank.

"Huhu~~~"

Like layers of flowers and leaves continuously blooming, in the blink of an eye, a deep red battle robe automatically appeared on his body, and battle boots also appeared on his feet.

Ta~
As Qi Yuan's combat boots stepped onto the alloy floor of the spaceship's lounge, an extremely powerful and terrifying aura naturally flowed from his body.

Three months had passed during the journey back to the Eternal Starfield, and now another three months have gone by. Nourished by the powerful F-grade nutrient capsule and precious nutrient solution, Qi Yuan's cultivation level has risen like a rocket all the way to the peak of the Domain Lord level!

"Finally reached the peak of the Domain Lord level!"

Qi Yuan was somewhat excited as he familiarized himself with his enhanced power.

In just six months, he rose from the first level of the Domain Lord to the peak of the ninth level. This rapid increase in strength even gave him a faint illusion that he was about to become invincible.

However, despite the illusion, a significant increase in combat power is certain.

With his current peak Domain Lord energy level, coupled with his understanding of laws that is no weaker than most ordinary World Lords, and the special Domain Lord-level ninth-order metal life form, Bumblebee, which can 'steal' a trace of the Heavenly Craft Tower's power, he doesn't need to be afraid even when facing some World Lords with average strength.

After all, the strength of a World Lord compared to a Domain Lord is mainly reflected in two aspects: one is a powerful understanding of the laws, and the other is the pressure of the 'World Projection'.

Qi Yuan's comprehension of the laws is comparable to most ordinary world lords, and with the added power of the multiple array formations that Bumblebee 'stole' from the Heavenly Craft Tower, it's estimated that ordinary world projections really wouldn't be able to suppress him.
"Unfortunately, even with a sufficient supply of metals and ores, it will still take Bumblebee quite some time to break through to the World Lord level. Otherwise, with the help of a World Lord-level Bumblebee, I might be able to truly unleash a portion of the Heavenly Craft Tower's power. In that case, sweeping through most of the peak-level players wouldn't be too difficult."

Qi Yuan smiled and sighed, but he didn't really feel disappointed.

After all, he had only been in this world for less than ten years.

In just eight or nine years, he went from a second-tier stellar-level native slave to a powerful peak domain lord who controlled a territory.

This is a terrifying leap that even countless geniuses in this world dare not imagine!

"I don't have any concerns about taking advantage of the company. Once I've dealt with the things at hand, I'll focus all my efforts on preparing for breaking through to the Realm Lord level. After all, the Realm Lord level is the stage where the power of a person can increase the most ridiculously!"

Qi Yuan made a silent decision in his heart.

Just then, his eyes flickered slightly as an email from the Eternal Branch's intelligence department was sent to his account.

"An email from the Eternal Branch's intelligence department... could it be..."

Qi Yuan quickly opened the email, and after just one glance, a strange light appeared in his eyes.

"Heh, so it's finally starting?"

The plot ends right here. It's a bit short, so consider this a bonus chapter. I'll try to write two more chapters, guys. Am I not too lazy after all? ~~~(*^▽^*)
