Chapter 452: Dragon Blood Stone
Ye Xiao, Yue Ying, and others started strolling, wanting to find anything worth their attention.
In this group of people, Yue Ying was the weakest one. She was at the Late Stage of the Immortal Lord Realm and was about to break through to the Immortal King Realm, but to take this step, many people would spend hundreds of years. It was unknown how long it would take Yue Ying to become an Immortal King Realm martial artist if she continued to cultivate normally.
Only if Ye Xiao could find all the materials he wanted to refine pills for Yue Ying, he would have been able to let Yue Ying quickly increase her cultivation base.
It was a pity that many of the materials had yet to be bought. He Yu was trying his best to find Ye Xiao the materials he wanted.
As everyone was walking on the street, Ye Xiao"s gaze fell on a nearby stall that was selling some common materials that could be found anywhere outside. An old man with short white hair but a long white beard was the owner of this stall.
What attracted Ye Xiao"s attention was not some common material but a red-coloured stone that was exuding a familiar aura. It was the aura of a dragon.
"Dragon Blood Stone!"
Dragon Blood Stone was an extremely rare kind of stone. It is said that a thousand-year after the death of a dragon because of grave injuries on its body, the blood that flowed outside its body would give birth to a special kind of stone. It was called the Dragon Blood Stone.
Dragon Blood Stone not only contains the draconic aura, but it also contains the dragon"s essence and energy. Refining a weapon using the Dragon Blood Stone could let a weapon refiner create an amazing weapon and its rank would not be low at all.
This was only one of the usage of the Dragon Blood Stone.
One of the other usages was when a person or any demonic beast with dragon bloodline flowing within their body was to absorb the Dragon Blood Stone, not only it would enhance the thickness of their bloodline, it would also let them increase their cultivation base by at least a minor stage and at most two minor stages in an instant.
To break through to one minor stage in immortal cultivation, it would take a martial artists dozens or even hundreds of years. One can imagine how terrifying it was to let one breakthrough through two minor stages in an instant.
Ye Xiao looked here and there and saw that some people had disdainful expressions on their faces as they looked at the old man"s stall. According to them, all this old man had was just ordinary things and nothing was worth their attention.
Even Yue Ying, He Yu, Lin Xiao, and the other six people were the same. Although they didn"t disdain the old man, their way of thinking was not much different from other people. They also thought that the old man had nothing of value on his stall.
"I think I found something valuable here. Let"s go and buy." Ye Xiao said and made his way towards the old man"s stall.
Seeing Ye Xiao walking towards the old man"s stall, a look of confusion appeared on everyone"s faces. Recalling what Ye Xiao said just not, they immediately looked at the old man"s stall once again to find that valuable thing that has attracted Ye Xiao"s attention.
Unfortunately, they were not knowledgeable enough. They failed to find anything valuable. But since Ye Xiao had already gone to the old man"s stall, they also followed behind him and arrived in front of the stall.
"Brother Ye Xiao, there is nothing out of ordinary here. What valuable thing did you say you want to buy?" Lin Xiao looked at Ye Xiao and asked in confusion.
Ye Xiao smiled and didn"t reply Lin Xiao. Instead, he looked at the old man and saw that the old man was also looking back at him with interest. Maybe, the old man became interested in Ye Xiao after hearing what Lin Xiao just said.
The old man had been here for more than a week already but Ye Xiao was the only one who came to his stall to buy something. Moreover, from what Lin Xiao said, Ye Xiao seemed to have found something valuable on his stall of ordinary things, this really made the old man take interest in Ye Xiao. He wanted to see what Ye Xiao wants to buy from his stall.
Ye Xiao picked up a hexagonal-shaped red stone and asked the old man, "Senior, how much should I pay you for this stone?"
The old man looked at the hexagonal-shaped red stone and the smile on his face became wide. His interest in Ye Xiao rose as a light flashed in his pair of eyes.
The old man replied, "A Hundred Thousand High-Grade Immortal Stones!"
"What?"
"Impossible?"
"Do you want to rob us old man?"
When the old man gave his price, before Ye Xiao could even say anything, He Yu, Lin Xiao, and other people in his group started to make a fuss about this matter. They thought that the old man wanted to rob them by selling this hexagonal-shaped red stone at such a high price.
They kept scolding the old man continuously, saying many things.
The commotion here caused the surroundings" people to pay attention. Soon, they came to know what just happened and joined He Yu"s group of people to scold the old man.
Yue Ying was the most shocked one here. She could not believe what she just heard. Low-Grade Immortal Stones were the ones she ever owned. Although she came in contact with Middle-Grade Immortal Stones, she never owned them.
When they were visiting many different worlds as they were coming to the Great Martial World from the Immortal Star World, Ye Xiao gave her many Middle-Grade Immortal Stones to buy the things she liked. In the end, they were not her own Immortal Stones and were spent very quickly.
As for the High-Grade Immortal Stones, Yue Ying has only heard of them. She never saw one.
Hearing the price of the hexagonal-shaped red stone, she felt like fainting. Her breathing became heavy as she put both of her hands on her chest and tried to calm her breathing down.
Everyone had a different expression on their faces. Some were scolding the old man because they thought the old man deserve their scolding. Some just joined the fun, and some people were just looking at the entertaining scene in front of them from the side, behaving like bystanders.
On the other hand, the old man didn"t have any expression on his face. He was not even looking at the people who were scolding him. He completely ignored everyone and just kept looking at Ye Xiao with interest, wanting to know what decision would Ye Xiao make?
"I..."
"Brother Ye Xiao, don"t be fooled by this old man. Although I don"t know what this stone is, if you think it is a valuable stone, I will definitely find them for you and the price will be a lot lower than this old man"s. You will at least save eighty to ninety thousand High-Grade Immortal Stones, I guarantee it!"
Just as Ye Xiao was about to say something, he was immediately stopped by He Yu who was scolding the old man just a moment ago.
"Yes, Brother Ye Xiao. Don"t buy this stone. We will help you find this stone at a lot lesser price. Also, we will find you more than ten of these stones. This old man only has one stone."
"As for this old man, we will definitely complain to our family heads about him. How dare he scam people here!"
It was Lin Xiao who said this and his decision was supported by everyone.
Ye Xiao shook his head and asked, "Brother He Yu, Brother Lin Xiao, you don"t even know what this stone is, how can you say this stone is not worth the price is given by this senior?"
"This...?"
He Yu, Lin Xiao, and others were speechless when they heard this.
Exactly!
They don"t even know what kind of stone this red stone was, how were they so sure that the price given by the old man was not worth this stone?
Ye Xiao again said with a smile, "You said that you"ll find me more than ten of these stones. I say, Brother Lin, I guarantee that you wouldn"t be able to find a single one of this kind of stone in the entire Great Martial City, let alone more than ten of them."
Everyone was left speechless once again. They could not understand what kind of stone was it for Ye Xiao to say such a thing with this much confidence.
On the other hand, the shine in the old man"s eyes brightened when he heard what Ye Xiao just said. He confirmed one thing, Ye Xiao did recognize the hexagonal-shaped red stone which was the Dragon Blood Stone. Otherwise, he would not say such things to his friends and wouldn"t know the true value of the Dragon Blood Stone.
