Chapter 453 Ch 453: Fierce Competition
"What do you mean, Brother Ye?"
He Yu and others could not understand what Ye Xiao was telling. In their eyes, the hexagonal-shaped red stone's value shouldn't be worth as much as Ye Xiao was telling them.
In response, Ye Xiao smiled and said, "Brother He, let me tell you, this red stone is no ordinary stone but Dragon Blood Stone. You can now understand how valuable this stone is, right?"
"What? Dragon Blood Stone?"
He Yu, Lin Xiao, and others couldn't believe what they just heard. This red stone was actually the Dragon Blood Stone that is extremely rare to come by. If it really was the Dragon Blood Stone, then the old man's price was definitely appropriate.
Seeing Ye Xiao nodding his head, they confirmed their doubts that this really was a Dragon Blood Stone. There were many usages of Dragon Blood Stone and everyone knew how that one couldn't buy this stone even if they have money. This old man was willing to sell this Dragon Blood Stone for a hundred thousand High Grade Immortal Stones was already a miracle.
Dragon Blood Stone was something no power would be willing to sell to others, and it was enough to let all the powers of the Great Martial City fight for it and cause a bloodbath in the city.
The bystanders were also shocked and greed flashed in their eyes. They wanted to immediately launch an attack and seize the Dragon Blood Stone for themselves, but after thinking about it, they forcefully stopped themselves from attacking the old man.
After all, this was a trade fair jointly organized by all top powers of the Great Martial City. There was an unspoken rule here which was not to cause trouble or fight. If anyone dare to break this rule, they will not only be punished severely, they would also lose their qualification from participating in the Competition of the Myriad World which was going to be held only a month from now.
"Senior, I'll buy this Dragon Blood Stone!" Ye Xiao looked at the old man who was also looking at him with interest in his eyes and said.
Before the old man could even nod and say something, the bystanders started swarming at the old man's stall and started yelling, "Old man, I'll buy this Dragon Blood Stone. But you have to lessen the price first."
"What do you mean by lessening the price? If you don't have enough Immortal Stones then fuck off. Here, senior, I'll buy this Dragon Blood Stone for One Hundred and Five Thousand High Grade Immortal Stones."
"Humph! If you want to buy a rare material like the Dragon Blood Stone, you have to show some sincerity first. Old man, sell this Dragon Blood Stone to me, I'm willing to buy it for a Hundred and Ten Thousand High Grade Immortal Stones."
"Old man, I'll buy it for a hundred and twenty thousand High Grade Immortal Stones!"
"Senior, I'll give a Hundred and Fifty Thousand High Grade Immortal Stones for this Dragon Blood Stone."
"A hundred and seventy thousand!"
"Two Hundred Thousand!"
"....."
The people started fighting the war of words. No one was willing to give up the Dragon Blood Stone. Even if they doesn't have enough Immortal Stones, they still offered rare materials that they had or had bought in exchange for the Dragon Blood Stone.
In next to no time, the crowd in front of the old man's stall increased to the point where it immediately attracted the attention of the guards protecting the trade fair from any troubles.
Seeing more than a hundred people and the commotion that they'd caused, the guard immediately informed the higher-ups first before they went and started trying to calm down the crowd first and understand the situation here.
When they heard that a Dragon Blood Stone was here, they were also tempted, but they were mere guards. Their entire life's savings was not even ten thousand High Grade Immortal Stones, how could they afford a Hundred Thousand of these Immortal Stones?
Since they couldn't buy the Dragon Blood Stone, they immediately informed the higher-ups about it and those higher-ups informed the top families of the Great Martial Sect.
The commotion was so huge that even if Ye Xiao were to say anything at this moment, his voice would be suppressed in the crowd and not even the fourth person beside him would hear what he said.
The old man, who was also the stall owner, had a smile on his face. He didn't respond to anyone, instead, he kept staring at Ye Xiao.
Ye Xiao found it strange and for a moment, he even thought that the old man was a demonic cultivator or from the demon race. But then again, he shook his head, finding this thought of his ridiculous.
He didn't feel any kind of demonic aura from the old man's body, neither did he feel any reaction from the 'death order' on his body. It means that the old man was not from the demon race neither was he a demonic cultivator.
Then again, why was this old man so interested in him and was smiling like a fool and was staring at him continuously?
Ye Xiao couldn't understand and since he couldn't understand, he tried not to think too much.
The most important thing right now was to get hold of the Dragon Blood Stone, no matter the price he have to pay.
He could use this Dragon Blood Stone in many ways but he was not trying to buy the Dragon Blood Stone for himself, instead, he wanted to refine it into the Dragon Blood Pill and gift them to Zhao Yufei and Zhan Qing'er.
Both of them are cultivating a secret technique related to dragons.
This secret technique has three levels. The first level would let them cultivate the Dragon's Aura, the second level would let them cultivate the Dragon's Bloodline, and the third level would let them cultivate their body into that of a dragon's body.
At first, only Zhao Qing'er was cultivating this technique because there was not enough dragon blood to let Zhao Yufei cultivate as well. But after Ye Xiao returned from the Holy Beast Continent, he gave the blood of a dragon he had hunted down in the Dragon Empire to cultivate this secret technique.
According to Ye Xiao's deduction, this secret technique was a very high levelled technique. It must be something that shouldn't exist in the lower realm.
Right now, both Zhao Yufei and Zhao Qing'er should have already cultivated the first level of this secret technique to the peak. Cultivating the second level of this technique will again require the dragon's blood. Giving them the Dragon Blood Pill would let them cultivate the Second Level of the secret technique to its peak in one go.
It would save them tens of years and their strength will rise to another level.
Well, these things were the things of the future. He was not even certain right now if Zhao Yufei and Zhan Qing'er have ascended to the Upper Realm or not, and if they have ascended, then which world were they on?
Ye Xiao has already planned to search for them after the end of the Competition of the Myriad Worlds. The thing he has to do now was to get his hands on the Dragon Blood Stone.
Although he was the first one to ask the old man to sell this Dragon Blood Stone to him, this was a trade fair and another rule here was that the highest bidder would get the material.
If Ye Xiao wants, no one would be able to win against him in terms of bidding, after all, there was no limit to his wealth. But doing so will definitely attract the attention of everyone here and then trouble will come looking for him in the near future.
The people in the surroundings kept increasing and very soon, in the land of tens of meters, there was not enough space left to let a small rat step in.
Ye Xiao didn't know what to do. He wanted to slap hard on his mouth for revealing the fact that the hexagonal-shaped red stone was actually a Dragon Blood Stone. If he had not done that, he would have easily bought this Dragon Blood Stone.
But now, because of his stupidity, all hundreds of people were fighting for the Dragon Blood Stone. No one was willing to give it up.
The price of the Dragon Blood Stone had already increased from a Hundred Thousand High Grade Immortal Stones to Five Hundred Thousand High Grade Immortal Stones.
How fierce the competition between people was here could be imagined?
Seeing that the Dragon Blood Stone was about to slip out of his hand, Ye Xiao let go of his attention and directly called out the price of One Million High Grade Immortal Stones.
So what if people come looking for trouble with him, was he afraid of them?
No! He was not afraid at all. If they really come looking for trouble, Ye Xiao would let them have a taste of his strength.
