Swallowing the Stars: 100x Return for Teaching Apprentices

Chapter 19 Dragon Essence, Bloodline Evolution

"Dragon Essence!"

The moment the system space opened, Qi Yuan's consciousness was drawn to that drop of dragon essence that was fiery red and resembled flowing magma!

Although it was said to be a drop, the volume of the Dragon Essence was actually the size of an egg.

When Qi Yuan looked closely, he could see that beneath the flowing, lava-like deep red patterns on the outer layer of the Dragon Essence, there was a faint, almost imperceptible golden thread constantly weaving and moving.

The moment Qi Yuan's consciousness came into contact with the essence of the dragon's essence, the first thing he felt was an indescribable heat, as if even his soul was about to be ignited by this heat.

However, immediately afterwards, an extremely abundant and vigorous vitality surged forth.

Surrounded by this vitality, the burning pain in my soul quickly dissipated, replaced by a cool, refreshing comfort, as if enveloped by flowing water.

His consciousness was like a parched desert suddenly nourished by rain, and he even seemed to cheer and jump for joy!
Keep in mind that the Dragon Essence is still in the system space and hasn't been retrieved yet!
Amazing! Absolutely amazing!
Who would have thought that beneath the fiery, magma-like exterior of the Dragon Essence lies an unparalleled and abundant life force!

[Dragon Essence, a rare treasure of heaven and earth, can greatly enhance the power of one's bloodline after being consumed by those with flesh and blood!]

Looking at the system's description of the Dragon Essence, Qi Yuan suddenly felt as if he had been struck by a windfall!
"Holy crap, it's something that can enhance bloodlines! This is like finding a treasure!"

For the vast majority of flesh-and-blood creatures, lineage is extremely important.

Bloodline represents the foundation of a cultivator!

The stronger the foundation, the faster the cultivation speed, and the greater the achievements one can make in the future!
Like the Manka clan, the top bloodline of the human race in the original work, their people can easily reach the level of a domain lord as long as they grow up, even if they just eat and sleep all day.

Before Luo Feng's rise to power, even if humans on Earth devoted their entire lives to cultivation, it was still uncertain whether they could become martial artists (apprentice level one).

This is the difference in bloodline!

In Qi Yuan's Lei Yuan clan, most members can reach the apprentice level upon reaching adulthood.

According to the classification of human bloodlines in the universe, they can barely be considered as the eighth rank, only slightly stronger than the Earth's human race.

If Qi Yuan wants to go further on the path of cultivation, he must find a way to further improve his bloodline.

There are quite a few methods for improving bloodline mentioned in the original work, but none of them are things that Qi Yuan can access at present.

For example, the 'bloodline evolution agent' that Luo Feng took when he was at the star level in the original work was purchased by joining the external branch of the Virtual Universe Company and spending a full 1 million Qianwu coins!

For those who are not members of the Virtual Universe Corporation, the Bloodline Evolution Agent is even more scarce and expensive!

Now, Qi Yuan has easily 'exchanged' a Dragon Essence that can enhance bloodline power with just ten Wood Seed Crystals!

This is an unbelievable dream event!
"Ten Wood Crystals return 20 Dragon Vein Fruits and a drop of Dragon Essence Essence of immeasurable value. This is an increase of more than ten million times!"

"It seems there will be an additional reward mechanism once the critical hit multiplier reaches 100x. I'll pay more attention to this aspect in the future."

Qi Yuan silently made up his mind.

Then, a look of great anticipation appeared on his face.

"Haha, let me see just how amazing the Dragon Essence, which can greatly enhance bloodlines, really is!"

He directly took out that drop of dragon essence, which resembled fiery red magma, from the system space.

Before the vigorous life force within the Dragon Essence could spread, he opened his mouth and inhaled—instantly, the clump of Dragon Essence the size of an egg transformed into a thin red stream and flowed into his mouth!
"boom!"

The moment the red stream disappeared into him, Qi Yuan felt as if he had swallowed a collapsing star!

The energy of the Dragon Essence exploded in his chest and abdomen, turning into countless scorching hot currents that instantly spread throughout his body!
Where the scalding torrent surges, the cell membranes shatter like fragile glass, destroying the cell's structure and pulverizing the internal gene fragments!
It was hot, incredibly hot!
Pain, extreme pain!
At this moment, every cell in Qi Yuan's body seemed to be undergoing the frenzied burning of the divine fire of the heavens!
After the cellular structure collapsed, every part of his body lost its support, and he almost turned into a puddle of flowing mud wrapped in the Force suit!
"Depend on!"

Qi Yuan's soul was roaring in agony—

His mouth and even his internal organs had lost their shape, and he could no longer make any meaningful sounds except for the screams of his soul!

"Damn, how much longer?"

Qi Yuan endured the extreme pain of being completely destroyed from the inside out, and his entire soul trembled!

finally--

Just as Qi Yuan's consciousness was about to painfully fade away—

The extremely vigorous and powerful life force contained within the Dragon Essence then erupted!
Strands of mysterious energy, carrying specks of golden starlight, rapidly merged into the body's cells, which had been almost completely destroyed.

Nourished by this mysterious energy, every cell, which was originally like a 'ruin', seemed to be infused with endless vitality and began to regain its spirit!
The deepest potential of life's genes is awakened, and a dramatic transformation begins!

Countless discarded gene fragments that were destroyed and rendered unusable were directly excluded.

Those precious fragments that retain a sliver of 'spirituality' amidst the impact begin to desperately absorb nutrients and rapidly regenerate!
First comes the recombination of gene fragments, followed by the regeneration of cellular material and the reconstruction of cellular structure, until each 'newborn' cell begins to rapidly divide and recombine, forming a completely new tissue!

Everything is happening very quickly!
It's thousands, even tens of thousands of times faster than normal cultivation!
The evolution of bloodlines is, in theory, a long and gradual process of change.

However, driven by the essence of the Dragon Essence, this change was accelerated to a very short time!
"Huff, huff~~~"

Inside the cave on the mountain wall.

Qi Yuancheng lay on his back on the ground in a "太" shape, panting heavily.

"Wow!"

His black Force suit moved swiftly, revealing his incredibly strong and muscular body after his transformation.

"too tired."

Qi Yuan felt as if his whole body had completely dissipated, and he didn't even want to move a single finger.

Bloodline evolution is actually a process of transformation and recombination of the body's genes.

In this process, the so-called bloodline catalyst or dragon essence mainly plays a catalytic role.

More importantly, it's the release of one's own genetic potential!
During this period, a large amount of life energy will naturally be lost, which is the source of his feeling of extreme fatigue.

After catching his breath, Qi Yuan forced himself to sit up quickly, his body trembling with exhaustion.

"According to the original text, this is the best time to absorb life energy and evolve, and we can't waste it!"
