Chapter 694: What a Shameless Merchant House!

“What did you say? You want the Primordial Shenrui Blood?” The old woman looked Ye Mo up and down and said, “My guest, do you have any idea how priceless the Primordial Shenrui Blood is? If you do, how dare you just ask for it like that?”

“I’ve heard that the Chaos Palace has taken control of all the merchant houses in the Zone of Chaos, so I thought the merchant house must have the item I am looking for. My fault, apparently, I overestimated the merchant house that doesn’t even have the Primordial Shenrui Blood,” Ye Mo said indifferently.

“Hum!” The old woman snorted. “How dare you insult the merchant house like this? If you weren’t a young boy, I would’ve already kicked you out. This merchant house belongs to the Chaos Palace, and you have no right to question us. Of course, we have the Primordial Shenrui Blood you are asking for, but you must offer us another treasure that is as invaluable as the Primordial Shenrui Blood.”

“I have the Transcendence Golden Body of a Profound World Realm expert, is that invaluable enough?” Ye Mo said, in the same indifferent tone, and brought out the Transcendence Golden Body. He acquired this item when he killed the Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert who had the God of Fire as his Transcendence Golden Body.

Now, he deliberately showed off the Transcendence Golden Body in order to deter the old woman. This way, the old woman would be more confused about his cultivation level. He knew very well that it was a dog eat dog world, so he had to be careful.

Plus, the Transcendence Golden Body of a Profound World Realm expert was indeed a rare treasure.

The old woman looked at the God of Fire Transcendence Golden Body, stunned. She thought Ye Mo was a nobody, just a reckless rookie hanging around asking about the Primordial Shenrui Blood, and that he would leave after she scared him. But, unexpectedly, he was in possession of a Transcendence Golden Body with runes all over it. Without question, this Transcendence Golden Body must belong to a fallen Profound World Realm expert.

“Come with me please.” The old woman smiled, suddenly back in polite-merchant mode. “The appraiser of the merchant house will evaluate this Transcendence Golden Body according to the grade of its Profound Mark.” The old woman turned around and walked away.

The conversation between them had drawn attention from the people in the hall. As the matter of fact, as soon as he entered the house, many experts had started to pay attention to Ye Mo’s Sky Blood Spear. Although the spear was covered by the sheath, which oppressed its energy to the level of Low-grade Bejewelled Weapon, the spirituality of a Low-grade Celestial Weapon was still eye-catching.

Even though it was only a Bejewelled Weapon, and certainly not a rare treasure, it was still good stuff that not every cultivator could have in the Zone of Chaos.

A moment later, Ye Mo entered a counter and saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the back with two shining eyes. Apparently, she was a low-grade Profound World Realm expert.

“Young man, let’s take a look at your Transcendence Golden Body.”

This woman also found it rather strange that a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert could have the Transcendence Golden Body of a Profound World Realm expert. Her face looked doubtful.

As soon as Ye Mo showed her the Transcendence Golden Body, covered with the runes, she changed her tune. The woman was shocked by its tremendous Fire Power. She stood up immediately, staring at the Transcendence Golden Body closely.

No doubt, this God of Fire Transcendence Golden Body was a bonus when Ye Mo killed the Mid-grade Profound World Realm Elder.

“This is… a Transcendence Golden Body left by a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert when he died?”

“How can it be possible? The Transcendence Golden Body of a Mid-grade Profound World Realm expert? How could a Transcendence Sixth Realm boy have it? It’s ridiculous!”

“Mid-grade Profound World Realm? Within the Ice City, there are no more than ten Mid-grade Profound World Realm experts. I know many cultivators are still struggling to break through the Transcendence Realm, but with the help of this Transcendence Golden Body, it wouldn’t be impossible to advance to the Profound World Realm.”

Hearing the explanation of the appraiser, many people turned their eyes to them. Some of them were jealous, some were shocked and some were greedy.

On the Transcendence Golden Body was the Profound Mark with the insight of a Profound World Realm expert. In a word, the Golden Body was full of power. A True Energy Realm expert could advance to the Profound World Realm by assimilating it.

But, if a cultivator was still lower than the True Energy Realm, he could advance to the Transcendence Realm by assimilating the Transcendence Golden Body of a fallen Profound World Realm expert, but hardly continue the advancement to the Profound World Realm.

Someone who had a Transcendence Golden Body at this level must be a big shot.

People in the merchant house stopped murmuring, but still stared at that God of Fire Transcendence Golden Body.

“Mid-grade Profound Realm, with insight into the Profound Mark of Fire, and the Profound Mark is a low-grade one,” the appraiser finally announced her conclusion and said solemnly, “young man, how did you get this God of Fire Transcendence Golden Body? Don’t tell me that you killed the Profound World Realm expert by yourself.”

“What now? Not only are you an appraiser, but also you ‘e an investigator? And you need to dig out the history of my treasure?” Ye Mo murmured in a sullen voice.

“That’s not it. I’m just curious about your God of Fire Transcendence Golden Body.” The appraiser shook her head. “I’ve heard that you need the Primordial Shenrui Blood. But you should know how rare it is. Although you can offer this Transcendence Golden Body to us, we still can’t make the exchange.”

“I have a dozen Transcendence Golden Bodies like this, will that be enough?” As Ye Mo spoke, he took out all of the Transcendence Golden Bodies from the Xu Mi Ring. All of the Transcendence Golden Bodies belonged to the Profound World Realm experts and they all contained Profound Qi instead of Transcendence Qi.

“What’s going on here? How does he have so many Transcendence Golden Bodies? How could such a young boy collect all those treasures?”

“Maybe he’s the son of a top-ranked castellan?” people looked at Ye Mo taking out so many Transcendence Golden Bodies at once in such a relaxed manner, not afraid of being robbed at all. They were certain Ye Mo must be the son of a big shot and started to show him respect.

“Haha, there are two ways to make an exchange with the merchant house. One is to pay us twice the price, and another is to fight the gladiators of the merchant house. Although your Transcendence Golden Bodies are rather precious, they’re only worth a tiny bit of the Primordial Shenrui Blood,” said the appraiser calmly.

The appraiser had made her intention very obvious. Ye Mo could only choose the second option. But it must be extremely risky to take the challenge. The gladiators of the merchant house must be tough opponents who were higher than him in term of cultivation level.

“What a shameless merchant house! It’s obvious that they just what to cheat you out of all of the Transcendence Golden Bodies,” Ling’er said in anger.

The value of a dozen of the Transcendence Golden Bodies with the insight of the Low-grade Profound Mark could easily surpass the value of a drop of [Primordial Shenrui Blood]. After all, a dozen Transcendence Golden Bodies equaled the power to create a dozen Profound World Realm experts.

But they just wanted to force Ye Mo to choose the fight.

On the surface, it was a merchant house, but in fact, it was a den of thieves.

“These Transcendence Golden Bodies are all I have, but I must get the Primordial Shenrui Blood. I guess I have to take the second option. Let’s bet on the fight then,” Ye Mo said in despair, pretending that he is rather reluctant to fight.

All the people were shocked hearing Ye Mo’s choice. No one expected that he would dare to choose the fight. To those people, his choice was like giving all of his Transcendence Golden Bodies to the merchant house directly.

After all, the Primordial Shenrui Blood was extremely rare. There was no way the merchant house would want to lose it to a boy. Therefore, the merchant house would definitely choose the diamond grade gladiator to fight Ye Mo.

Even the appraiser was shocked by the choice. Later, she said, with great joy in her heart, “Deal. I’ll arrange a Transcendence Sixth Realm expert to fight with you.”
