Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Lord Cat had mentioned before that if they could integrate a Wood Origin Object into the Chaos Space, it would gain the Power of Life, thereby allowing living people to enter.

Now, with the Golden Emperor Dao Wood, that problem was solved!

At this thought, Ye Wushuang’s expression brightened. ’Perhaps this time, I can bring a remarkable change to the Chaos Space.’

”Right, what about that black stone?”

Ye Wushuang took the black stone from Lan Xinyu and discreetly probed it with his Divine Sense. However, even his Divine Sense couldn’t uncover anything.

”I can’t figure this thing out either,” Lord Cat said, ”but I’m certain it must be a treasure. We’ll know for sure when we get back and cut it open.”

The Dragon Cat was also puzzled, but it was certain the black stone was a treasure. The only question was its value.

Ye Wushuang didn’t doubt the Dragon Cat. The creature possessed some mysterious abilities and was far from simple.

Besides, whether the black stone was a treasure or not, getting a Treasure of Heaven and Earth like the Golden Emperor Dao Wood for just one hundred Spirit Stones was an absolute steal.

Ye Wushuang never thought he’d stumble across a one-in-ten-thousand opportunity just like that.

Shaking his head with a smile, Ye Wushuang put away the mysterious black stone and the Golden Emperor Dao Wood, then headed for the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop.

Dongfang Youdi tagged along as well. It was strange; despite being tricked several times, he wasn’t angry anymore. Instead, he was shamelessly sticking to their side.

Ye Wushuang paid him little mind. The guy might have been as roguish as the Dragon Cat, but he hadn’t shown any real malice. Otherwise, Ye Wushuang would have already taken action, regardless of his status as a young master of the Dongfang Family.

Of course, Ye Wushuang also had a faint feeling that there was more to this guy than met the eye.

’This intuition is so strange!’

’Perhaps what’s on the surface isn’t the whole truth,’ Ye Wushuang thought.

Before long, the group arrived at the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop. The establishment was lavishly decorated and incredibly spacious. Inside, a dazzling, countless array of treasures was on display, every single one of them genuine.

”The Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop is the largest auction house in the Holy City,” Dongfang Youdi followed the three inside, chattering all the way. ”All the biggest auctions in the city are held right here. In fact, there’s a huge one coming up in a month.”

As he spoke, his flirtatious ’peach blossom’ eyes kept darting toward the female staff of the workshop. The women all wore tight-fitting cheongsams that accentuated their slender yet curvaceous figures. The sight nearly made his eyes pop out of his head.

”How may I help you, sir?”

A woman approached Ye Wushuang, her voice light and gentle. She offered a warm smile, showing the utmost respect for her guest.

”I’d like to buy some Cultivation Treasure Medicines,” Ye Wushuang stated his purpose. Having broken through to the Spiritual Spring Ninth Layer, he now needed to prepare for his advancement to the Yin Yang Realm.

’With my constitution, I need an enormous amount of resources. If I don’t prepare in advance, there will definitely be a problem when the time comes.’

”Sir, standard Treasure Medicines are ten thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones each, while Top-Grade Treasure Medicines are fifty thousand. How many would you like?”

That the woman could ask ”how many” so casually spoke volumes. Only an establishment like the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop had the confidence, and the inventory, to make such an offer.

Ye Wushuang thought for a moment. While the exchange rate for Spirit Stones was generally ten-to-one, that only applied between Low-Grade, Middle-Grade, and High-Grade Spirit Stones. When it came to Top-Grade Spirit Stones, the value increased exponentially.

He had learned before that a single Top-Grade Spirit Stone was worth far more than its normal ten-to-one equivalent; it could be exchanged for a full one hundred thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

He had over ten of them on his person. Including the Spirit Stones he’d taken from others, he figured he had a total equivalent of over two million Low-Grade Spirit Stones—enough to buy two hundred Treasure Medicines.

After a moment of calculation, Ye Wushuang said calmly, ”I’ll take one hundred standard Treasure Medicines and twenty Top-Grade Treasure Medicines.”

For a long moment, however, the woman didn’t respond. She just stared blankly at Ye Wushuang, momentarily unable to process his request.

She had assumed he would buy eight or ten at most, yet he had asked for over a hundred in a single breath. Even Dongfang Youdi was flabbergasted.

”Don’t you have them?” Ye Wushuang asked, frowning when the woman remained silent.

”We do, we do! Please wait a moment,” the woman replied hastily upon hearing him. She immediately headed for the second floor; an order of over one hundred Treasure Medicines was beyond her authority.

”Workshop Master, someone is requesting one hundred and twenty Treasure Medicines. What are your instructions...?”

The woman went up to the second floor and walked straight to a room. She didn’t enter, however, instead standing respectfully outside the door.

”One hundred and twenty... for a breakthrough?”

A soft, gentle voice murmured from within the room.

After a pause, the voice replied, ”If he needs one hundred and twenty, then give them to him. Make sure to pick out the highest quality ones, understand?”

”Yes!”

Though the woman was confused, she did as she was instructed.

”Also, give this to him.”

An object suddenly flew out from the room—it was a Purple Crystal Jade Order.

The attendant’s expression changed at the sight of it. She stared at the Purple Crystal Jade Order in shock. It was something she had only ever heard of, never seen!

”You may go now,” the soft voice sounded again.

”Yes!” The woman carefully cradled the Purple Crystal Jade Order, retrieved the one hundred and twenty Treasure Medicines, and headed back downstairs.

”Sir, here are the Treasure Medicines you requested.”

The woman handed a storage bag to Ye Wushuang, her eyes examining him.

Ye Wushuang could clearly sense a change in the woman’s gaze. It was different than before, now containing a hint of curiosity.

He didn’t dwell on it, however. He accepted the Treasure Medicines and handed over the prepared Spirit Stones.

”Farewell!”

With the Treasure Medicines in hand, Ye Wushuang turned to leave.

”Sir, please wait a moment.”

The woman called out when she saw him leaving.

Ye Wushuang stopped and turned back to face her.

”Sir, our Workshop Master asked me to give this to you.” The woman carefully handed the Purple Crystal Jade Order to Ye Wushuang, her pretty face filled with undisguised envy.

”Holy shit, what is this?”

Gazing at the Purple Crystal Jade Order, Dongfang Youbai’s eyes went wide, and he rushed forward for a closer look.

Lan Xinyu and the Xiaoo Yue Celestial Roc looked over as well.

”This is a Ten Thousand Treasures Order—the highest-tier VIP Card for the Ten Thousand Treasures Celestial Workshop!

Dongfang Youbai stared at the Purple Crystal Jade Order, instantly identifying it. Then, as if a thought struck him, he turned to Ye Wushuang in utter shock. ”Kid, are you sleeping with the Celestial Workshop Master or something? How else could you get your hands on this!”

There were less than ten Ten Thousand Treasures Orders in the entire Holy City. Owning one was not just a symbol of status; it also granted the holder protection from the workshop’s experts while on their grounds.

More importantly, the holder received a twenty-percent discount on all purchases and was given priority access to any and all events...

In short, the benefits were endless!

This was the kind of thing that only the Patriarchs of the great Noble Families were qualified to possess. Even within the Dongfang Family, only the Patriarch held one. So how could Dongfang Youbai not be astonished that Ye Wushuang now had one?

Ye Wushuang frowned. He had never even met the Celestial Workshop Master, so what connection could they possibly have that would warrant such a precious gift?

’Why?’ Ye Wushuang was utterly baffled.
