Death… And Me

Chapter 1700 Bet Placed

However, Govin shook his head as he knew what Rean was thinking, telling him, ʼKentuckyʼs blood, even as a Divine Demon Beast, would be useless. The main point about this Half True Dragon Blood is the cultivation of its owner. To put it in a way you can easily understand, lady Libraia wouldnʼt be more than an ant in front of this bloodʼs owner. Thatʼs what makes it so powerful and great.ʼ

Kentucky sighed in relief after that. ʼIʼm safe...ʼ

ʼThen, does that mean the blood of the other Divine Demon Beasts is useless?ʼ Rean couldnʼt help but ask in response.

ʼThatʼs not it,ʼ Govin corrected Rean. ʼHow can I say this... Kentuckyʼs blood would be good for alchemy, forging, and things like that if you consider cultivators, demon beasts, and spirits at the Elemental Transformation Realm and below. Adding Kentuckyʼs blood in pills, weapons, and things like that for Transition Realm beings would barely make any difference. Also, the only reason Kentuckyʼs blood would be good for lower-level beings is that heʼs a Divine Demon Beast. Common demon beast blood wouldnʼt even have a tenth of his potential.ʼ

Rean nodded after hearing that. ʼI see... since this is Half True Dragon Blood, as the cultivator isnʼt a complete Divine Demon Beast, their cultivation makes up for it, is that right?ʼ

Govin confirmed Reanʼs words. ʼThatʼs correct. This Half True Dragon Blood is still partially from a Divine Demon Beast. It isnʼt as effective as a True Dragonʼs, but it isnʼt too far from it. Even a trace of True Dragon Blood can change a demon beastʼs strength by a lot. Kentucky and Celis should know it more than anyone else.ʼ

Celis and Kentucky nodded after hearing that. Theyʼve seen other Divine Demon Beasts before and knew the difference it made compared to normal demon beasts.

With that said, Rean entered the main topic, asking, ʼSo, if we win this challenge, whatʼs in it for us? Since that guy offered up Half True Dragon Blood, that means he also has a vial of it, right?ʼ

Govin nodded in response, saying, ʼThatʼs what surprised me. I went to great lengths to get that vial, and I havenʼt used it so far. Iʼm keeping it for my body cultivation techniqueʼs next breakthrough. Even Libraia would have a hard time getting a vial. To think heʼs betting such an extremely expensive item like that.ʼ

Roan could tell what Govin was thinking. ʼYou believe he doesnʼt really have the blood. He just found out that you have it and is trying to use this method to get the blood from you. He gave you such a disadvantageous condition to make sure he would win. But then again, youʼre not sure and donʼt want to pass up on this opportunity. After all, you know our real strength.ʼ

ʼThatʼs correct,ʼ Govin nodded in agreement.

Rean could only sigh after that. ʼThen you should confirm it with him.ʼ

Sure enough, Govin did exactly that. ”Timao, I donʼt mind betting my vial of Half True Dragon Blood. However, can you even afford this kind of bet? I doubt you have the same item.”

Timao shrugged his shoulders in response. ”If I couldnʼt cover this bet, I wouldnʼt do it. Why donʼt you try it out? Are you that afraid to lose?”

Of course, Govin could only narrow his eyes in response to that. It became a lot more suspicious as it seemed like Timao was trying to brush the question off. Itʼs just that he couldnʼt simply refuse the opportunity either. ʼRean, Roan, Kentucky, or Celis, would any of you like to give it a try?ʼ

Rean repeated his question after hearing that. ʼOnce again, whatʼs in it for us?ʼ

Govin immediately made an agreement. ʼIf he does have the blood, weʼll share it 50-50. Donʼt say that Iʼm being greedy or that youʼre the one to fight, blah, blah, blah... if I wasnʼt here, such an opportunity wouldnʼt appear for you anyway. Just so you know, I paid 1790 Rank Three Divine Stones for that vial.ʼ

Rean finally nodded after that. From the initial 4951 Rank Three Divine Stones they got from the mine, they still had 4394. After all, the twinsʼ group had been busy doing a lot of things recently. They were saving up the high-level Divine Stones for the moments they could cultivate together. They had been quite busy even before the twelve tests, so such moments were quite rare. Celis was basically the only one who cultivated without stop, but it was better to let him use Rank Two stones in that case. Rank Two could be used in the outside world as well since the environment of the Jhiod Sectʼs recruitment building was full of geniuses who also had access to such a rank of Divine Stones. They only used that much in the years after leaving the mine.

ʼItʼs basically worth almost 900 Rank Three Divine Stones. Thatʼs a huge amount. Even if I donʼt use it, I can trade it for something else. The best part is that everyone would know how I got that 50% of the Half True Dragon Blood vial. There would be no reason for excuses as I could openly use it,ʼ Rean thought to himself.

With Reanʼs confirmation, Govin finally accepted the bet. Itʼs just that he kept pretending to look nervous. ”Alright, but if you canʼt pay for the value of the vial of Half True Dragon Blood, Iʼll bring this issue directly to your Gileria Clan. Iʼm sure the other elders and the clan leader would be very interested in what I have to say. To make sure you wonʼt run away from your debt, weʼll have this fight at the sectʼs arenas. The disciples often use them, so you wonʼt be able to get rid of witnesses either.”

”Hmph!” Timao snorted in response. ”Those are my words. After all, I wouldnʼt have this fight happen in a place where no one could see. The last thing I want to happen is to hear from you that I lied about our bet.”

Govin then turned to the sectʼs office after that. ”Alright, we need to first register you all as disciples, or you wonʼt be able to enter the sect. Letʼs go.”
