Chapter 127: Evolution of the Tai Sui

Long Hanjie’s father-in-law couldn’t help but exclaim, “This Ye Xuan is truly remarkable. I have another daughter. Should I let her get in touch with Ye Xuan?”

Long Hanjie immediately replied, “Father-in-law, you are being a bit unrealistic. They are a perfect match, one with astonishing strength and the other with unparalleled potential.

His girlfriend is none other than Su Mengli, who possesses the SSS-class Flame Red Lotus. Moreover, this mission was supposed to be completed by him alone, but it ended up being a joint effort with his girlfriend.

Originally, the first place on the Dragon List belonged to him, but now it’s in the hands of his girlfriend. Can you imagine how good their relationship is?

Your daughter can’t even get involved, and besides, she might have my child…”

Long Hanjie’s father-in-law interjected, “You’re right. But how could I let my daughter be so fickle? I was talking about my younger daughter, not the elder one.”

Long Hanjie muttered under his breath, “I was talking about your younger daughter.”

However, Long Hanjie’s father-in-law furrowed his brows, “Did we forget something? Something doesn’t seem right.”

Upon hearing his father-in-law’s words, Long Hanjie also felt that something was amiss.

After exchanging glances for a few seconds, they both exclaimed simultaneously, “Dragon List!”

Long Hanjie’s expression changed, “I currently have over eight hundred thousand points on the Dragon List. Each point for the Nine Infants is one million. Even though the mission was completed by Ye Xuan and his girlfriend together.

Taking into account their talent coefficients, Su Mengli can earn two million points, while Ye Xuan can get one million. Doesn’t that mean I’ll be pushed to third place directly?”

Long Hanjie’s father-in-law remarked, “The gap between you and Ye Xuan isn’t that big. If you think of a way, it’s possible to catch up.

But with Su Mengli’s over two million points, you won’t be able to catch up, and does it make a difference to you whether you’re second or third?”

Long Hanjie smiled bitterly, “Indeed, it doesn’t make a difference, except for the special reward for the first place, everything else, you all can help me obtain.”

The first place on the Dragon List has a special reward, the Evolution of the Tai Sui.

The Tai Sui, also known as the Flesh Lingzhi, is recorded in the Compendium of Materia Medica. The Tai Sui resembles flesh, edible and medicinal, when consumed, it lightens the body and delays aging, extending life like an immortal.

Ordinary Tai Sui has the effect of prolonging life, considered by ancient people as an elixir of immortality. Evolution of the Tai Sui naturally has a stronger effect.

Compared to ordinary Tai Sui, this evolved Tai Sui is more miraculous. After consumption, besides prolonging life, it can enhance the development of abilities.

Moreover, the Tai Sui has a unique feature – each piece cut and consumed regenerates, making it endless, continuously growing to supply cultivation.

The SSS-class talent has a high ceiling, requiring abundant resources for rapid growth.

Long Hanjie and his father-in-law spared no effort to obtain over eight hundred thousand points, all for the first prize of the Evolution of the Tai Sui on the Dragon List.

However, now the first place was taken by Su Mengli, and he couldn’t even hold onto the second place, leaving Long Hanjie deeply disappointed.

His father-in-law, a well-traveled man, patted Long Hanjie’s shoulder, “It’s okay. Although the Evolution of the Tai Sui is rare, there will be opportunities in the future.

Next month, the ranking will change to an academy exchange competition, where Ye Xuan’s trump card won’t be usable again. Show your true strength with your Ancestral Dragon’s True Body then!”

Long Hanjie wasn’t discouraged. He clenched his fist and said, “True, if everyone in this world were mediocre, it would be too boring.

Moreover, the hope of the human race in the future is all entrusted to me, which is a tremendous pressure. Having a few geniuses to share this honor and responsibility with me is actually a good thing.”

“Good that you think that way, but I’ll have to settle the score with you about my younger daughter next time!”

At that moment, Ye Xuan had already arrived at the ward where Wang Wu was located, accompanied by Lin Xu.

Wang Wu lay on the hospital bed, his entire body turning blue, resembling an Avatar.

Lin Xu held the Tianshan Snow Lotus, parted Wang Wu’s mouth, and then fed the Snow Lotus into his mouth.

The Tianshan Snow Lotus, as if condensed from ice and snow, melted upon entering the mouth. Soon, the Snow Lotus turned into liquid and flowed down Wang Wu’s throat.

The Tianshan Snow Lotus can detoxify, and as the Snow Lotus melted, the blue color on Wang Wu’s body visibly receded at a rapid pace.

This time, instead of stopping after a certain degree of fading like last time, it completely faded until it disappeared entirely.

Lin Xu breathed a sigh of relief as he looked at the scene and then turned to Ye Xuan, “Ye Xuan, thank you. If something really happened to Senior Wang, I would have felt guilty for a lifetime.”

“Don’t thank me. I intervened not because you asked, but because I also admire our senior, the old hero.”

“Alright, everything is fine here now. You can go back and accompany your girlfriend. Also, regarding the Tianshan Snow Lotus, I will factor it into the mission, and you should be able to exchange it for a hundred thousand points.”

Ye Xuan nodded and prepared to leave.

At that moment, Lin Xu continued, “Oh, there’s one more thing I need to tell you. The researchers have studied the black pearl and discovered something extraordinary.”

Ye Xuan curiously asked, “Oh? What did they find?”

Lin Xu explained, “After letting death row inmates swallow the black pearl, they found out through hypnosis that those who swallowed the black pearl gained an ability. By killing other ability users and consuming their heart’s blood, they could obtain the other person’s power.”

Ye Xuan was astonished, “That’s impressive! Does that mean I missed out?”

Lin Xu replied, “Missed out? It’s a good thing you were clever and handed it over; otherwise, you would have missed out big time.”

“What do you mean?”

Lin Xu continued, “The researchers found several awakened death row inmates and had the one who consumed the black pearl kill them, devouring their heart’s blood. Initially, he successfully gained the abilities.

However, with each ability acquired, the inmate’s body aged to a certain extent.

For C and B-class ability users, their body functions aged only one or two years with each consumption. But after acquiring an A-class ability, the aging accelerated by twenty to thirty years. If they consumed an S-class ability, the person would probably age to death.

Subsequently, the researchers studied his body and found that his genetic makeup remained unchanged. The one who gained the abilities wasn’t himself but the black pearl.

He could only temporarily borrow the power of the black pearl to use the abilities.

Finally, the researchers executed the death row inmate, removed the black pearl, and found that the magnetic field on the black pearl had significantly strengthened.

We suspect that the black pearl may be a peculiar form of life.

Their growth method involves parasitizing human bodies, acquiring human abilities, absorbing human vitality, and ultimately growing.

My previous intuition was correct; this life form is indeed related to the relics. It should be an extraterrestrial life form or a remnant of the previous civilization.”

Upon hearing Lin Xu’s words, Ye Xuan’s expression subtly changed as he envisioned a terrifying existence in the future.
