Death… And Me Chapter 1700 Bet Placed

Chapter 1700 Bet Placed

However, Govin shook his head as he knew what Rean was thinking, telling him, 'Kentucky's 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 wouldn't be more than an ant in front of this blood's owner. That's what makes it so powerful and great.'

Kentucky sighed in relief after that. 'I'm safe...'

'Then, does that mean the blood of the other Divine Demon Beasts is useless?' Rean couldn't help but ask in response.

'That's not it,' Govin corrected Rean. 'How can I say this... Kentucky's 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 Kentucky's blood in pills, weapons, and things like that for Transition Realm beings would barely make any difference. Also, the only reason Kentucky's blood would be good for lower-level beings is that he's a Divine Demon Beast. Common demon beast blood wouldn't even have a tenth of his potential.'

Rean nodded after hearing that. 'I see... since this is Half True Dragon Blood, as the cultivator isn't a complete Divine Demon Beast, their cultivation makes up for it, is that right?'

Govin confirmed Rean's words. 'That's correct. This Half True Dragon Blood is still partially from a Divine Demon Beast. It isn't as effective as a True Dragon's, but it isn't too far from it. Even a trace of True Dragon Blood can change a demon beast's strength by a lot. Kentucky and Celis should know it more than anyone else.'

Celis and Kentucky nodded after hearing that. They've 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, 'So, if we win this challenge, what's in it for us? Since that guy offered up Half True Dragon Blood, that means he also has a vial of it, right?'

Govin nodded in response, saying, 'That's what surprised me. I went to great lengths to get that vial, and I haven't used it so far. I'm keeping it for my body cultivation technique's next breakthrough. Even Libraia would have a hard time getting a vial. To think he's betting such an extremely expensive item like that.'

Roan could tell what Govin was thinking. 'You believe he doesn't 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, you're not sure and don't want to pa.s.s up on this opportunity. After all, you know our real strength.'

'That's correct,' Govin nodded in agreement.

Rean could only sigh after that. 'Then you should confirm it with him.'

Sure enough, Govin did exactly that. "Timao, I don't 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 couldn't cover this bet, I wouldn't do it. Why don't 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. It's just that he couldn't simply refuse the opportunity either. 'Rean, Roan, Kentucky, or Celis, would any of you like to give it a try?'

Rean repeated his question after hearing that. 'Once again, what's in it for us?'

Govin immediately made an agreement. 'If he does have the blood, we'll share it 50-50. Don't say that I'm being greedy or that you're the one to fight, blah, blah, blah... if I wasn't here, such an opportunity wouldn't appear for you anyway. Just so you know, I paid 1790 Rank Three Divine Stones for that vial.'

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 twins' 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 Sect's 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.

'It's basically worth almost 900 Rank Three Divine Stones. That's a huge amount. Even if I don't 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,' Rean thought to himself.

With Rean's confirmation, Govin finally accepted the bet. It's just that he kept pretending to look nervous. "Alright, but if you can't pay for the value of the vial of Half True Dragon Blood, I'll bring this issue directly to your Gileria Clan. I'm sure the other elders and the clan leader would be very interested in what I have to say. To make sure you won't run away from your debt, we'll have this fight at the sect's arenas. The disciples often use them, so you won't be able to get rid of witnesses either."

"Hmph!" Timao snorted in response. "Those are my words. After all, I wouldn't 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 sect's office after that. "Alright, we need to first register you all as disciples, or you won't be able to enter the sect. Let's go."
