X-Dragon Era

To me, this is the most precious treasure in the world, I wouldn\'t trade it even for a Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone."

"Really!" Surprised by the woman\'s response, Xin Yun exclaimed, "Are you serious? If I really had a Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone to trade with you, you really wouldn\'t exchange it?"

Satisfied, the girl tucked the jade box into her bosom and retorted with a pout, "What\'s so great about a Ninth Grade Dragon Creation Stone? Although it\'s expensive... and also priceless, there are still many in the world. But can you find another hairpin like this one?"

Hearing the girl\'s words, Xin Yun was utterly speechless. It truly confirmed the saying, what does it mean to be wealthy? Wealthy people want to buy the most expensive things, they always chase after the unique and unparalleled!

It\'s the same on Earth. Truly wealthy people would spend hundreds of millions or even billions of US dollars building a yacht. They drove limited edition cars, the kind that only had one or two in the whole world, and even their clothes were tailor-made by designers, unique in the entire world. That\'s what being truly wealthy meant.

Clearly, this girl was that kind of person. Judging by her values, the hairpin was indeed priceless. Seeing it from her perspective, she had made a huge gain in this trade, obtaining a rare and priceless treasure!

Shaking his head with a wry smile, Xin Yun carefully inspected the six treasures handed over to him. Assuring everything was correct, a smile formed on his face as he was about to speak, but the girl quickly said, "Okay, the deal is done, no refunds or exchanges. Hehe... It\'s too late for you to regret now!"

At the girl\'s words, Xin Yun opened his mouth but couldn\'t utter a single word. What was this situation? Whether buying or selling, why was it always the other party who said that line? Couldn\'t he say it for once?

Shaking his head, Xin Yun packed all the treasures into a box, just about to tell Yi Luo Xiang to leave when he saw her looking forlornly at the woman walking away into the distance.

Seeing Yi Luo Xiang\'s unwillingness to let go, Xin Yun felt a pang of heartache. He shook his head and said softly, "Don\'t feel sorry. This hairpin isn\'t suitable for you. I promise... I\'ll help you find a prettier one that suits you better."

"Ah! Really?" Surprised by Xin Yun\'s words, Yi Luo Xiang exclaimed. But soon, she came back to her senses, her face flushed red as she said, "No... I wasn\'t... You misunderstood, I was just lost in thought, don\'t worry about me."

Looking at the eager Yi Luo Xiang, Xin Yun couldn\'t help but recall the past when she had worn a Colored Jade Butterfly on her head, which was incredibly beautiful — the most suitable and the most expensive treasure for her. Unfortunately, that item had not yet appeared in the world; it was unobtainable.

For the next few days, Xin Yun didn\'t go back to the Treasure Exchange Convention but stayed home to concentrate on refining the Dragon Ball. It wasn\'t until the weekend that he emerged from seclusion, bringing the six treasures and accompanying Yi Luo Xiang to the trade convention site.

All morning, Xin Yun sat with his eyes closed, seemingly resting but actually concentrating on refining the Dragon Ball. As for his stall, it was completely empty, with no goods on display to avoid the hassle of people asking for prices.

Soon, it was noon. After a simple meal, the two returned to their stall. Seeing that Xin Yun still didn\'t display his goods, Yi Luo Xiang couldn\'t hold back any longer and asked, "Since we\'re here, why don\'t you put your stuff out? Like this, nobody knows what you\'re selling; how can there be a trade?"

Hearing Yi Luo Xiang\'s words, Xin Yun didn\'t explain anything and didn\'t know how to explain. Should he tell her that he was waiting for the guy with the Divine Dragon Fruit to show up?

The Divine Dragon Fruit is a miraculous fruit that blossoms once every ten years and bears fruit once every hundred years. It functions to bring the dead back to life, enhance strength, and moreover... this Divine Dragon Fruit bears only one fruit at a time, extremely rare.

Although its value cannot compare to the Ninth Grade Dragon Ball, it becomes priceless to those urgently awaiting a life-saving miracle!

After laying out all the goods on the counter, Xin Yun closed his eyes again and spoke softly, "We are not selling our goods. If anyone asks, push them away for me; don\'t let them bother me."

Even though Yi Luo Xiang did not understand Xin Yun\'s motives, she followed his instructions since he had given them. Interacting with others would also allow her to learn more.

"Hurry... hurry and look, someone is selling a Divine Dragon Fruit over there!" After an indeterminate amount of time, the market suddenly became noisy with shouts, and everyone rushed towards one direction.

Hearing this voice, Xin Yun finally opened his eyes and smiled. Without a second word, he packed up all the items inside the counter and rushed towards the crowd.

"What are you doing?" Seeing Xin Yun\'s actions, Yi Luo Xiang couldn\'t help but feel puzzled. Facing her question, Xin Yun laughed and said, "Let\'s do it, we\'re going to exchange for that Divine Dragon Fruit!"

Hearing Xin Yun\'s words, Yi Luo Xiang nodded in understanding without much thought and followed behind him, hurrying towards where the crowd had gathered.

Quickly, Xin Yun, with the box in his arms, squeezed his way to the front of the stall. Looking over, the small stall had only a Cold Jade Box displayed, and nothing else. Behind the stall, a man of nearly forty stood with an honest face. Next to him, a child around seven or eight years old with large eyes stood timidly.

As soon as he pushed into the circle, Xin Yun heard the honest man in his forties shout, "Don\'t push, listen to me... I want to exchange this Divine Dragon Fruit for a Seventh Rank Dragon Creation Stone, I won\'t exchange it for anything else!"

Wow!" Hearing the man\'s words, everyone gasped, and then began to sigh. Although a Seventh Rank Dragon Creation Stone was not as rare and valuable as Eighth or Ninth Rank, it was still considered costly and roughly equivalent in value to the Divine Dragon Fruit. Yet, the quantity was still pitifully scarce.

Indeed, the fruit had the effect of enhancing one\'s strength, but so did Dragon Crystals, it just took longer to take effect. Without the immediate need to save a life, the value of this Divine Dragon Fruit could be considered similar to that of a Seventh Rank Dragon Creation Stone, but the question remained – who would have it?

At the same time, Xin Yun frowned. Among the items he had exchanged with that girl, there was indeed a Dragon Creation Stone, but it was only of Sixth Grade, one grade shy of the man\'s requirement.

Never underestimate the difference of one grade; the gap in value was too great. If a Sixth Grade Dragon Creation Stone was worth one yuan, then a Seventh Stage would be worth at least ten yuan – a gap of more than tenfold, which the vendor would not agree to. However... thinking about the six treasures he had obtained from the girl, an idea gradually formed in Xin Yun\'s mind.

After some calculation, Xin Yun smiled and propped himself up on the counter with both hands, and said to the man across, "What use is it to just exchange for a Seventh Stage Dragon Creation Stone? Can you guarantee your child will stay safe?"

This..." Hearing Xin Yun\'s words, the man began to sweat profusely. Indeed... although the Divine Dragon Fruit was truly equivalent to a Seventh Rank Dragon Creation Stone in value, exchanging for just the stone could not ensure the child\'s safety. If something were to happen to the child, then...

Watching the man\'s fearful expression, Xin Yun smiled and said, "How about this, I have a Sixth Grade Dragon Creation Stone, and I\'ll add a gold-level breastplate, gold-level leggings, and a gold-level helmet, making up a complete set of gold-level armor. With this, unless the child is targeted by masters above gold-level, his life should be at least protected."

With a slight smile, Xin Yun continued, "These three pieces of gold-level armor, along with the Sixth Grade Dragon Creation Stone, make up four treasures, collectively worth far more than a Seventh Rank Dragon Creation Stone. You can inquire about it, and if you find it suitable, come find me at stall number 6042." After he finished speaking, Xin Yun turned and walked away from the crowd...
