Chapter 863: Grass of Longevity, Undying Flower, Fruit of Wishes
But of course, that was the capabilities of an adult Skyreaching Dragon Silkworm. The one that Zui Yun was auctioning was just a larva. It was only about as long as an adult finger and a Phenomenon-class Stranger, and it was incomparable to its fully matured version.
Despite this, the larva still possessed immeasurable value. It was because the Stranger was tameable at this age, and it would eventually grow into a Disaster-class Stranger so long as it was fed and cared for properly. It would be a huge asset to anyone.
At first, Ye Qing was interested in the Skyreaching Dragon Silkworm’s larva, but he quickly discarded the thought after listening to Feng Qingyou’s explanation.
According to Feng Qingyou, the Skyreaching Dragon Silkworm only fed on rare treasures and spiritual items. This single larva could bring an entire middle-sized sect to its knees with its consumption rate. Only a major sect or clan with a long lineage could afford to raise a Skyreaching Dragon Silkworm larva to adulthood.
He was one person. The chances that he could feed the Skyreaching Dragon Silkworm larva until it reached adulthood and finally started paying dividends was exactly zero, so he didn’t bother. In the end, the larva was sold for five million silver.
It sounded like a lot, but after the insane nine million silver bid that was the “Impenetrable Clouds” earlier, it was nothing.
The next couple bids came and went peacefully, and Ye Qing successfully bought the Finger Ring Metal he was aiming for.
Although the Finger Ring Metal was an incredibly rare treasure, its usability was seriously limited. Therefore, he managed to win it with only one million silver. No one had tried to maliciously bid up the price, and he had encountered less resistance than he expected.
With this, Ye Qing had accomplished his primary objective for attending the Dragonmount Meet. However, neither he nor Feng Qingyou were in a hurry to leave. This was a grand event that only happened once per year after all, and they might never return in the future. There was no reason they shouldn’t stay behind and enjoy the event until the end. If they were lucky enough to obtain another item that Feng Qingyou needed for her recovery, then even better.
