The Martial Emperor with Dragon Blood - Chapter 499

Chapter 499: 499

From the conversation Ye Mo overheard, he found out that Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber was actually a grand elder of the Door of Desolation’s Inner Peak . She had high status, and her Blood Devil Saber was a Celestial Weapon . She was looking for a sheath to suppress its excessive devilish aura .

To impress the Saint Ancestor Bloodsaber, many organizations of various sizes were trying to find the sheath she required . So the price of the Black Crystal Stone had increased sharply .

“Well, that’s quite a surprise . ” Ye Mo frowned . “Turns out I have bad timing . It won’t be easy for me to find any Black Crystal Stones right now . ”

“What are you looking for, brother?” a crafty looking man approached Ye Mo and smiled at him . He had a very ugly smile . “Let me know and I’ll show you the way . I only need some tips for it . ”

“Are you an employee of the Divine Treasure Guild?” Ye Mo asked .

“No such luck,” the man said . “To be honest, I’m just a little thug . But I know this place very well . If you find it troublesome to navigate, you could consider hiring me as your guide . You have to know that within the Divine Treasure Guild, there are a lot of secrets and many things aren’t as they appear . ”

“Oh?” Ye Mo was astonished to hear that .

“Brother, my name is Zhao Xin,” the man said . “From my many years of experience observing people, I can see that you are probably here for some Black Crystal Stones . Am I right?”

When the man saw Ye Mo hesitate, he kept speaking, “I guarantee that you won’t be able to buy any here . ”

“Oh? And why is that?” Ye Mo asked as he handed over a bill worth 1,000 Mixed Energy Pills to Zhao Xin .

In the Zone of Desolation, gold, silver, or precious stones were worthless . Only the Mixed Energy Pill was used as a common currency . Currency exchange centers where everywhere, exchanging bills for Mixed Energy Pills . So bills based on Mixed Energy Pills were also used as a form of currency here .

After accepting the bill from Ye Mo, Zhao Xin’s eyes locked on the number written on the bill . He quickly pocketed it before speaking, “Because now, all the Black Crystal Stones have been reserved by the various powers and organizations . No matter how much you’re willing to pay, they won’t sell any to you . ”

“The Treasure Trade Gathering will start in a few days,” Zhao Xin suggested . “The large clans of the Zone of Desolation will all gather here at the Desolate City . Everyone will be fighting over Black Crystal Stone, and maybe then you can talk to them . They might be willing to sell you some . ”

“I see . ” Ye Mo nodded . “But what exactly is the Treasure Trade Gathering?”

“The Treasure Trade Gathering is a once a year event here in the Desolate City,” Zhao Xin said . “But people like us won’t even be granted entry . It’s a gathering for the major forces to meet up and trade . ” He had an expression of longing on his face .

“Only individuals of a certain status and renown in the Zone of Desolation can enter,” Zhao Xin said . “On top of that, they also need to have some acceptable treasures in hand before they can enter . If I can enter even once, I can die happy . ”

“Little bastard, you’re here scamming others again?” a furious voice called . “Piss off”

Zhao Xin’s face paled . In a flustered manner, he spoke to Ye Mo, “Brother, I won’t be saying much more . If I don’t leave, he’ll break my leg . The last time he caught me, I spent half a month bedridden . I nearly starved to death . Thank you for your Mixed Energy Pills . ”

He turned to leave, but right as he was about to run, Ye Mo grabbed his shoulder .

“Brother, no, I mean lord, please, I’m not a scammer,” Zhao Xin said . “Please spare me . ” It didn’t feel like a hand grabbing his shoulder, more like an iron pincher . He couldn’t budge Ye Mo .

“Little bastard, you’re trying to flee?” A middle-aged man rushed over . He was dressed lavishly, a shopkeeper in the Divine Treasure Guild . “Since you dared to come back to my Divine Treasure Guild, I won’t stop at breaking your legs . ”

“Uncle Wu, please spare me this once,” Zhao Xin pleaded pitifully . “I haven’t been meeting your daughter, right?”

“My daughter must have been blind to like you,” the man called Uncle Wu said disdainfully . “Just look at yourself . What good are you? You spend all your time scamming people here at Divine Treasure Guild . Don’t you have anything better to do with your life?”

He waved his hand and two guards appeared behind him . Both of them were at the True Energy Realm . He then commanded, “Beat him up . Let’s see if he still dares come back after this . ”

“Shopkeeper, he is my friend,” Ye Mo said calmly . “Are you commanding your men to beat my friend up?”

When Uncle Wu heard that, he looked at Ye Mo doubtfully . With his years of experience observing people, he could see that Ye Mo was also a wealthy and respectable man . And the weapon hanging on his back was quite extraordinary .

“Respected customer, how can you be his friend?” Uncle Wu feigned a polite smile on his face and said .

“I don’t need your opinion on who I make friends with,” Ye Mo spoke coldly .

Zhao Xin shot Ye Mo a grateful look . Even his back seemed straighter .

“Fine, fine,” Uncle Wu threw Ye Mo a cold gaze before leaving with the two guards .

“Many thanks!” When the three left, Zhao Xin cupped his fists and thanked Ye Mo .

“The origin energy within your body is rather thick,” Ye Mo said . “Though you’re only at Energy Shaping Ninth Realm, your foundation is rather good . So you are probably a talented cultivator as well . How did you end up as a scammer here?”

“How could I dare call myself a talented cultivator before you?” Zhao Xin said . “I come from a poor family, and my mother’s been sick for a very long time . It’s hard to find money for her medicines . I can only cultivate sparingly, and don’t even know a single martial technique yet . ”

Ye Mo was shocked to hear it . He only cultivated sparingly, but he could reach Energy Shaping Ninth Realm . Many geniuses only reached the True Energy Realm with the help of medicines . But this Zhao Xin clearly had no cultivation resources or teacher’s guidance .

If he wasn’t a genius, what could he be?

Moreover, his foundations were truly stable . With guidance and help, it wouldn’t be hard for him to improve his cultivation .

“Zhao Xin, how far away is the Treasure Trade Gathering?” Ye Mo asked .

“Two more days . ”

“I have 10,000 Mixed Energy Pills here . ” Ye Mo handed him a bill . “Go treat your mother’s illness with it . Two days later, I’ll bring you to the Treasure Trade Gathering . ” Ye Mo left without saying anything else .

Zhao Xin stared at the bill blankly, unable to recover from his daze .

“10,000 Mixed Energy Pills,” he said quietly . “And he’s bringing me to the Treasure Trade Gathering? Did I hear him wrong?”

Everyone encounters hardship at some point in their life . And help that might seem like nothing to the helper had the potential to completely changing the life of the person being helped . And now, Ye Mo was acting as the helper .
