"This? This? This is too precious, I can't accept it!" Upon hearing the introduction of the Nine Lives Bell, Sarah immediately waved her hand to refuse. The value of the Nine Lives Bell even exceeded that of ordinary fourth-tier equipment. This kind of life-saving item is the most difficult to refine.
"Take it! Of course, it's not free. I heard you got first place in military training, so I'll use your fourth-level forging permission to offset it!" Ye Zhen said with a light laugh. The others were shocked. Could this really work? And how did the other party find out about their first-place finish so quickly?
“This? It still won’t work. Hellga needs to use this opportunity to forge a weapon for himself. That’s exactly why we came here today. We have a fourth-tier dragon bone that we’d like to exchange for some materials to forge a fourth-tier battle axe,” Sarah said, gritting her teeth and shaking her head.
In fact, the value of an ordinary Tier 4 battle axe is far less than that of the Nine Lives Bell, since it is something that can truly save lives. However, this weapon forging opportunity belongs to everyone, and it has been agreed to be given to Houndoom, and he really needs a battle axe.
"A fourth-tier dragon bone? Take it out and let me see!" Upon hearing Sarah's words, Ye Zhen was stunned for a moment, and then spoke up.
The development of Honghuang Star is still relatively recent, and there are not many fourth-order dragons. Moreover, most of them are located in Dongsheng Shenzhou, and they cannot be seen in Xiniu Hezhou. It seems that the lord brought them over.
A multitude of thoughts flashed through Ye Zhen's mind in an instant, and she immediately decided that since the lord had brought them over, she should lend a hand.
“Okay! But this place is a bit small. Do you have a more spacious area?” Sarah nodded in response.
"Of course, come with me!" Ye Zhen nodded and led the group to the backyard. Although the front of Ye Chen's general store wasn't very big, the backyard was incredibly spacious, all arranged by Ye Ling.
"Wow! What a big backyard! Why don't you expand the storefront a bit? That way you could put more merchandise in there, right?" Harold asked in amazement.
Although I've been in military training these days, I've gained some understanding of the prices in the Elf King City. Merchants who come from afar naturally wouldn't do business at a loss, so prices are extremely high. The difficulty in obtaining residency status in the Elf King City has also indirectly increased the difficulty of obtaining residency rights. It's not easy for ordinary people to open a small shop, let alone a small courtyard as big as Ye Chen's.
"Don't flaunt your wealth. For someone who really wants to buy something, a store this size is enough. It's useless to give someone a bigger store than they have money, right?" Ye Zhen chuckled. "Alright, take out your dragon bones and let me see them!"
“Oh! Okay!” Sarah nodded and took the dragon bone out of her spatial ring in the open space of the yard. The huge dragon bone immediately occupied nearly half of the yard area. If it weren’t for Catherine’s wealth, they wouldn’t have been able to get such a large spatial ring.
"Tsk! A fourth-order early-stage dragon bone, it should have just begun to transform into a dragon, and it still has a long way to go before it becomes a true dragon!" Ye Zhen looked at the dragon bone and immediately recognized its strength in life.
"Hehe! How about that? We're just a bunch of students who've barely reached the third rank, and we managed to take down a fourth-rank dragon. Pretty impressive, huh?" Harold said with a smug look on his face, his expression practically screaming, "Come on, praise me!"
"It's alright! The dragon bones are fairly intact! But this thing is really hard to forge into a battle axe. It would be a good material for a spear or a whip!" Ye Zhen nodded and said, completely ignoring Harold's intentions. In her opinion, the strength of this dragon was just so-so. It was just a newly transformed dragon beast. It was nothing to brag about that it took a team of five to take it down. Maybe a few jade rabbits on Taiyin Star could do it.
Harold was quite disheartened at not receiving Ye Zhen's praise, but this did not affect their trade in the dragon bone.
"How about it? Can we exchange it for some materials to forge a Tier 4 battle axe?" Houndoom asked cautiously, his heart pounding with excitement at the prospect of obtaining a battle axe that he truly desired.
"Of course you can, but I don't recommend you do that. You should have gotten the dragon tendon when you killed the dragon, right? Give me the dragon tendon too, and I'll give you a level 4 battle axe!" Ye Zhen said with a smile.
What is the most valuable thing about a dragon's body? It's not the dragon scales or the dragon bones, but the dragon pearl that contains the essence of its life's cultivation, and the dragon tendons that support the entire dragon's body. These two items alone account for 80% of the value of a dragon's corpse. In comparison, everything else is just extras.
"This? Yes, but dragon tendons, while tough, don't seem to be of much use, right? How about I give you the dragon pearl or dragon scales?" Catherine asked shyly. This was also due to the influence of Western dragons. The tendons of Western dragons are generally mediocre. Their true strength lies in their dragon blood and scales, especially the single reverse scale, which is the most solid part of the dragon's body and an excellent forging material.
Of course, the Eastern Divine Dragon also has this reverse scale, which is also incredibly sturdy. However, this is just a dragon, and the sturdiness of its reverse scale is limited, so its value is naturally not very high.
"You don't need the Dragon Ball. Keep it for yourselves. It's similar to the magic core of a magical beast, but it has many more uses. You can even sense some of the dragon's talents from it, so cherish it!" Ye Zhen said with a smile, indicating that she didn't need the Dragon Ball. She really didn't care about a single Dragon Ball. She could only take a look at the Dragon Tendon.
"Comprehend the dragon's talent? Magic?" Harold asked excitedly, only to be met with a roll of his eyes from Ye Zhen.
“Dragons don’t belong to the category of magical beasts, so they don’t know magic. If you really want to talk about it, this should be a kind of cultivation method that is independent of your existing cultivation system!” Ye Zhen said irritably. However, this kind of thing is not easy to explain, so no matter how Harold and the others pressed her for an answer, she didn’t say anything more, as if the topic had come to an end.
Sarah and the others had no choice but to hand over the dragon tendon to Ye Zhen. To them, the dragon tendon wasn't very useful; at most, it could be used to forge a high-level bow. However, none of them were skilled in using bows, and to forge a fourth-level bow, a single dragon tendon wasn't enough. It was only the material for the bowstring; they also needed to find the material for the bow itself.
"Very good! Alleria, bring them that battle axe from the warehouse!" After taking the dragon tendons and bones, Ye Zhen called out to Alleria in the front hall.
