170: Chapter 170 Drus's Highlight Moment

Only Drus's excited cheeks and the slightly turbid water in the bucket explained what had happened here.

Drus was excited because he discovered that with just 0.5 cubic meters of dragon blood, he had actually made a Breakthrough from the early stage of Gold Knight to the middle stage of Gold Knight.

This was a Breakthrough at the Gold Knight stage!

With his former talent, it would have definitely taken him three or four years to Break through, but he never expected to Break through directly with dragon blood now.

How could this not excite him!

Of course, under normal circumstances, 0.5 cubic meters of dragon blood would not be enough for a Gold Knight to Break through. The reason for such a significant effect was mainly because it was Drus's first time soaking in dragon blood, and he had a deep accumulation.

After the initial excitement, Drus suddenly remembered that in addition to allowing one's Realm to Break through, dragon blood also had the effect of improving talent.

He quickly began to Cultivate again, and only then did he discover that his speed was indeed a bit faster than usual.

This meant that all the effects of dragon blood were real, and if Drus were to finish soaking in all six hundred cubic meters of dragon blood, then...

He would be able to Break through to the Sky Knight stage, and with the talent he would possess then, there would even be a chance to Break through to Legendary.

Thinking of all this, Dross couldn't help but tremble slightly with excitement. At the same time, he was also sincerely grateful to the Lionheart Merchant Guild for selling him the dragon blood.

Just as Drus was excited, the Third Prince, Hart-Ria, who was eager to purchase dragon blood from him, arrived at the Duke's Mansion at this moment.

Facing the arrival of the Third Prince, the people of the Duke's Mansion naturally dared not neglect him and quickly welcomed him inside.

Upon learning that the Third Prince was looking for Drus, the butler who received him couldn't help but be a little surprised.

After all, Drus and Hart, apart from both having poor talent and being criticized for it, seemed to have no other common ground.

However, this was not the butler's concern. After ushering Hart into the living room, the butler immediately sent someone to call Drus.

Soon, the radiant Drus walked in.

Due to his fighting Qi, although Drus had just soaked in dragon blood, his body was perfectly normal at this time, without any dampness.

Instead, because he saw a promising future, his entire demeanor became more confident.

As soon as Third Prince Hart saw Drus arrive, he immediately noticed the joyful expression that emanated from him.

Then he suddenly noticed the faint leakage of fighting Qi from Drus's body, clearly indicating that he had just Broken through and couldn't fully control his strength yet.

Third Prince Hart was only twenty-three years old and possessed only Silver Rank strength, so he couldn't discern that Drus's current strength had already Broken through to the middle stage of Gold Knight.

He could only make a rough judgment based on the latter's leaking power.

But his confidant had the strength of an Earth Knight and could tell, so he quickly whispered the news to Hart.

Upon hearing this, Hart's expression changed, as he too realized that this must be the effect of the dragon blood, allowing Drus to Break through in just one morning.

As expected of the Legendary dragon blood!

Hart secretly marveled in his heart.

After learning about the effects of the dragon blood, Hart's desire to obtain it grew even more urgent, so after they exchanged greetings, he immediately stated his purpose.

"Drus, I didn't expect my timing to be so perfect, catching you just as you've Broken through. Congratulations, congratulations!

But as far as I know, you only broke through to Gold Knight about a year ago, didn't you? How did you break through again so quickly!

You know my talent isn't great either, so I wonder if you could share a little insight!

As long as it helps me improve my strength, I will never forget your kindness!"

Upon hearing this, Dross knew that Hart was here for the dragon blood. After all, he didn't come early or late, but precisely today, so that must be the reason.

However, Drus already had the idea of selling dragon blood to recover funds.

After all, he had purchased a full fifteen hundred cubic meters of dragon blood from the Lionheart Merchant Guild, and he himself couldn't possibly use that much.

Six hundred cubic meters was more than enough; using more would be a waste and not very effective.

Thinking of this, Drus directly responded to Hart's request.

"Your Highness must have heard of the Lionheart Merchant Guild, which has been making waves recently!

They heavily advertised a few days ago, and I was a bit curious. Today was their opening day, so I went to visit.

I also purchased some dragon blood and just used it; the effect is excellent. If Your Highness needs it, you can go to the guild to check it out; it will definitely not disappoint you."

Drus didn't directly say that he had extra dragon blood for sale, because that would make it difficult to raise the price.

As the Duke's son, Drus didn't hold too much reverence for the prince, so at this moment, he was only thinking of extorting Hart.

Third Prince Hart had met all sorts of people. At this moment, he instantly saw through Drus's intentions. Driven by his craving for dragon blood, he could only prepare to be bled dry.

First, he put on a troubled expression.

"Alas, so it was the Lionheart Merchant Guild's dragon blood that helped you improve your strength!

I went early today, but unfortunately, the dragon blood was too popular. By the time I arrived at the guild, it had already been bought up!

What a pity!"

The atmosphere remained silent for a while.

Until the Third Prince suddenly showed an expression of realization.

"Brother Drus, since you went to the Lionheart Merchant Guild earlier and bought dragon blood, do you have any extra that you could spare for me? I am willing to pay a high price!"

Well, the Third Prince was willing to pay any price for dragon blood, since he even used the term 'brother'.

Seeing Third Prince Hart trying to get close like this, Drus felt a surge of delight inside, but he didn't show it.

Instead, he put on a pensive look, waiting for Hart to make an offer.

Seeing Drus remain silent.

Hart felt a bit of joy in his heart. Drus not refuting him now meant that he really did have extra dragon blood and was just waiting to sell it at an appropriate price.

Hart understood his meaning and quickly stated a price.

"I am willing to acquire it at a price fifty percent higher than the Lionheart Merchant Guild."

In response, Dross remained silent.

Hart knew that Drus was not satisfied with the price, so he could only offer another price.

"I am willing to acquire it at a price two-thirds higher than the Lionheart Merchant Guild!"

After speaking, Hart looked at Drus with expectant eyes, but still saw Dross's thoughtful expression.

He cursed inwardly, thinking that Drus was too greedy.

Then he put on a solemn expression, as if this was his last offer.

"Brother Drus, you know that with my talent, I'm not particularly favored in the royal family, so this really is the highest price—double, how about it!"

Hearing Hart say this, Drus knew to stop while he was ahead. After all, getting double the profit in half a day was enough.

Moreover, he knew that the amount of dragon blood Hart wanted to acquire would certainly not be small, starting at tens of millions of gold coins at least, which was a huge sum of money.

So Drus finally spoke.

"Since Your Highness has offered such a high price, how could I not sell it? How much dragon blood does Your Highness want?"
