Immortal God of War-Chapter 727 - 692 Dragon Blood_1

Gao Ming scanned the surroundings and asked doubtfully, "Where is Senior Brother Lin Dian? Why haven’t I seen him?"

"I didn’t ask him to come."

"Walking with him would draw too much attention and could easily reveal my identity."

"I don’t want my half-brothers ruining my plans when it matters most."

"And to conceal my identity, I even specifically found these disciple robes from the Elixir Palace."

"I’ve done so much; I just hope that this Qin Feiyang doesn’t disappoint me," the masked man said, a cold glint faintly visible deep in his eyes.

Gao Ming said fawningly, "As long as you’re here, even if he had a hundred times the courage, he wouldn’t dare to act presumptuously."

"Right, right." Wan Chou also nodded and bowed, an obsequious smile on his face.

"Lead the way!" the masked man waved.

"Certainly."

The two immediately turned and headed toward the Elixir Palace.

But just as they were about to enter the main gate, the white-haired old man guarding the Elixir Palace suddenly looked up at the masked man and frowned. "Who are you? How come I’ve never seen you before? Take off your mask, now!"

The masked man walked to the window and removed his mask.

The white-haired old man’s pupils instantly contracted.

"Don’t meddle in what doesn’t concern you."

The masked man quickly put his mask back on, gave the white-haired old man a cold glance, and then walked into the Elixir Palace without looking back.

What’s going on today? The Hall Master suddenly rushed back without a word, and now even the Thirteenth Prince has come to the Elixir Palace in secret?

Watching the masked man’s retreating figure, the white-haired old man was completely baffled.

「A short while later!」

The three of them arrived at the door of Alchemy Room No. 701.

Wan Chou whispered, "Your Highness, Qin Feiyang is inside this alchemy room."

"Knock," the Thirteenth Prince said. "Don’t make too much noise."

"Understood." Wan Chou nodded, walked to the door, and began to knock.

But after a long moment, the stone door remained closed.

Gao Ming said angrily, "His Highness is here, and he still doesn’t open the door! This bastard is too arrogant!"

"We haven’t mentioned His Highness’s identity, so how would he know?" Wan Chou glanced at him, a trace of disdain in his eyes. But he concealed it so well that Gao Ming didn’t notice at all.

"So what now?" Gao Ming asked, somewhat at a loss. We can’t just let His Highness stand here waiting, can we? But if we announce His Highness’s identity, then everyone in the surrounding alchemy rooms will know the Thirteenth Prince is here, won’t they? Things will definitely get lively then.

The Thirteenth Prince, also somewhat annoyed, said, "Keep knocking. When he gets annoyed enough, he’ll naturally open the door."

"Very well." Wan Chou turned and continued to knock on the stone door.

But they didn’t know that Qin Feiyang wasn’t in the Alchemy Room at all; at that moment, he was sitting with Fatty at a tea table, leisurely sipping tea.

CREAK!

The door of the guest room was suddenly pushed open.

Sun Dahai strode in briskly, looking full of vigor and vitality, as if he had become several years younger.

Qin Feiyang also put down his teacup and smiled. "Judging by your appearance, you must have succeeded!"

"Success." Sun Dahai nodded, grinning so widely his mouth nearly wouldn’t close.

Qin Feiyang said, "Shall we continue our discussion then?"

"Discuss, of course, we must discuss." Sun Dahai sat opposite Qin Feiyang and got straight to the point. "Young man, I wonder how many Potential Elixirs you still have?"

"Why do you ask?" Qin Feiyang asked, puzzled.

"I want to purchase all of them."

"Of course, if you’re willing to sell me the Elixir Formula, that would be even better," Sun Dahai grinned.

"Do you think that’s possible?"

"To be honest, before I came to the Treasure Pavilion, the Hall Master of the Elixir Palace personally sought me out, and I didn’t give her the Elixir Formula either," Qin Feiyang said calmly.

"I was just saying, young man. Don’t take it to heart," Sun Dahai quickly said with an apologetic smile.

He knew it was impossible. No one would be foolish enough to hand over such a heaven-defying Elixir Formula to others. He had only mentioned it, hoping against hope.

"No offense taken."

"I admit, I still have many Potential Elixirs, but I need Dragon Blood. If you have Dragon Blood, anything can be negotiated," Qin Feiyang said.

Sun Dahai frowned. "What do you want Dragon Blood for?"

Qin Feiyang replied, "That’s none of your concern. Just tell me, are you selling it or not?"

"This..." Sun Dahai hesitated for a moment, then said, "Could it be something else? Because Dragon Blood is truly the ultimate treasure of our Treasure Pavilion."

"No." Qin Feiyang shook his head, leaving no room for negotiation.

Fatty said slowly, "Elder Sun, miss this chance, and you’ll miss it for good. Think carefully."

Sun Dahai lowered his head, struggling internally.

Actually, Dragon Blood wasn’t of much intrinsic value to the Treasure Pavilion. However, because dragons were legendary beings, Dragon Blood had become rare and mysterious. It was also a symbol. Since ancient times, a legend circulated among the people: emperors were reincarnations of true dragons, and empresses were reincarnations of True Phoenixes. That was why the emperor’s Dragon Robe always had a dragon embroidered on it. This made Dragon Blood exceptionally significant. Consequently, the Treasure Pavilion designated Dragon Blood as its signature treasure.

But now, the other party had come specifically for the Dragon Blood; without it, there would be no cooperation. Yet, if he were to give it away, he would be too reluctant to part with it.

Sun Dahai was extremely conflicted!

"It seems you can’t make a decision right away, Elder Sun. In that case, I’ll head back to the Temple first."

"But be quick about it. Who knows, one day I might be in a good mood and sell all the Potential Elixirs to the Temple," Qin Feiyang chuckled, rising from his seat. As he finished speaking, he summoned a transportation portal.

Sun Dahai’s eyes flickered. He hastily stood up and said, "Alright, we’ll trade!"

"Elder Sun is indeed a straightforward man." Qin Feiyang showed a victorious smile, put away the transportation portal, and returned to his seat. "Tell me, how do you propose we trade?"

Sun Dahai considered carefully for a moment, then said, "One drop of Dragon Blood for ten Potential Elixirs."

PFFT!!

Qin Feiyang and Fatty, who were both drinking tea, spurted it out upon hearing this.

Ten Potential Elixirs for just one drop of Dragon Blood? What kind of joke was this?

"You’re trying to acquire Dragon Blood, so you must know how rare it is. Every drop used is a drop gone forever."

"It can be said that its value cannot be measured in money."

"Frankly, the price I’m offering is already a discount," Sun Dahai said. He wasn’t joking; he was very serious.

"Dragon Blood is rare, but aren’t Potential Elixirs rare too?"

"To put it bluntly, Dragon Blood is something you can only look at, but Potential Elixirs can open the Door of Potential."

"The benefits of opening the Door of Potential are something I believe you understand without me needing to explain."

"Now, you tell me, which is more valuable?" Qin Feiyang countered.

Sun Dahai frowned. "So, what’s your proposal?"

"One Potential Elixir for ten drops of Dragon Blood," Qin Feiyang stated without hesitation.

"Impossible!" Sun Dahai shook his head without a second thought. "Nine Potential Elixirs for one drop of Dragon Blood is my absolute limit."

Qin Feiyang stood up abruptly and sneered, "Is this your sincerity? Let me tell you, I don’t want it anymore! You can keep your Dragon Blood and admire it slowly!"

He was genuinely angry now. Did they think Potential Elixirs were like common cabbages, easily found anywhere?

Sun Dahai’s expression changed, and he quickly pleaded, "No, no, don’t! Let’s talk more. If we’re patient, we can surely reach an agreement that satisfies both of us, right?"

Qin Feiyang shook his head. "I don’t have time to drag this out. One Potential Elixir for two drops of Dragon Blood. Agree, and it’s a deal. Disagree, and I leave immediately."

"That’s too little, isn’t it? Can’t you add a bit more?" Sun Dahai looked at him pitifully, like a young maiden who had been wronged.

Qin Feiyang and Fatty felt goosebumps rise all over their skin.

"Elder Sun, you’re a businessman. How can your vision be so narrow?"

"Let me tell you, as long as you cooperate with us, those glittering Gold Coins will flow into your Treasure Pavilion like a river, endlessly," Fatty walked up, draped an arm over Sun Dahai’s neck, and said with a meaningful smile.

"I understand that logic, but..." Sun Dahai nodded, his expression extremely troubled.

Finally, he gritted his teeth, looked at Qin Feiyang, and said, "How about this: one drop of Dragon Blood for one Potential Elixir."

Qin Feiyang pondered for a moment, then said with a sigh of resignation, "Alright, I’ll consider it my loss."

"You’re taking a loss?" Sun Dahai couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

Qin Feiyang said, "Let’s skip the small talk. Go get the Dragon Blood quickly!"

"Done." Sun Dahai nodded and turned to leave the VIP room.

Fatty, with a shifty look, followed him out. After watching Sun Dahai disappear at the end of the corridor, Fatty closed the door and chuckled, "Boss, we’ve struck it rich this time."

"Have we?" Qin Feiyang was taken aback.

"Of course, we have!"

"Back in Spirit State, a Potential Elixir with a single Elixir Pattern auctioned for just over ten billion, and one with two Elixir Patterns for a little over twenty billion..." Fatty said excitedly.

"Stop!" Qin Feiyang raised his hand, interrupting him, and shook his head. "You’re mistaken."

"Mistaken about what?" Fatty frowned.

"Think about it. Can Spirit State even compare to the Imperial Capital?"

"Here, there’s no shortage of wealthy people."

"Let me put it this way: if Potential Elixirs are auctioned here, the price could be at least ten times higher," Qin Feiyang said.

"Ten times!" Fatty was stunned, shaking his head. "That’s too exaggerated!"

Qin Feiyang smiled faintly. "If you don’t believe me, we’ll just wait and see."

"If that’s really the case, then those Potential Elixirs auctioned in Spirit State were sold at a huge loss," Fatty grumbled.

「About a hundred breaths later.」

Sun Dahai returned, holding a jade vial in his hand.

The vial was very small, about the thickness of a little finger, and contained a small amount of blood, less than half a vial full.

Sun Dahai carefully handed the jade vial to Qin Feiyang. "This is the Dragon Blood you wanted."

Qin Feiyang glanced at the vial, took it, and then opened the cap.

An intangible pressure immediately surged out from within.

This pressure was precisely dragon’s power.

However, this dragon’s power wasn’t very strong.

Fatty, who had been quite excited, now frowned and asked, "Could this be the blood of a Flood Dragon?"

Because the blood of a Flood Dragon also carries some dragon’s power.

"How could it be?" Hearing this, Sun Dahai immediately grew anxious and, patting his chest, assured them, "This is absolutely genuine Dragon Blood! It’s just that the dragon’s power has weakened over time."
