You Are an Idiot, Aren't You?

However, what Yi Yun disdained was considered an extraordinary Divine Treasure by other martial artists, especially young geniuses.

"Isn't that the fruit of the Dark Jade Flower?" Prince Tianhao said. The fruit of the Dark Jade Flower originally had the effect of Marrow Cleansing, so it was perfect whether he used it himself or gave it to Princess Hongyi.

"Oh? You recognize all three of these treasures?" Princess Hongyi asked in surprise.

Prince Tianhao was very pleased with Princess Hongyi's reaction, and he nodded proudly.

Born into royalty, he was already well-informed, and his interest in Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures gave him ample reason to boast.

"The other two demon cores and demon bones should come from the Green-Eyed Blue Flower Snake and the Earth Demon Ape. Although their age is hard to say, their value won't be much lower than the Dark Jade Flower. These three items are all rare and priceless. I'm going to buy them. I'll give the Dark Jade Flower fruit to Junior Sister Marrow Cleansing. I'll use the other two for my cultivation!"

Prince Tianhao deliberately emphasized the preciousness of these three treasures, which made Princess Hongyi's heart flutter.

At this moment, Prince Tianhao raised five fingers and said, "Senior Mu, I offer 500,000 Mid-grade Spirit Jade!"

Five hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Jade —for an Imperial Prince like him, that wouldn't be too difficult to afford.

The moment Prince Tianhao spoke, he silenced many martial artists who coveted these treasures. They were initially eager to try their luck, but the price of 500,000 made them hesitate.

One Mid-grade Spirit Jade is worth one hundred Low-grade Spirit Jade. Usually, the spirit jades used by ordinary sects are only Low-grade Spirit Jade.

Six hundred thousand!

Among those seated at the trade fair were people who needed these Divine Treasure, and soon someone outbid Prince Tianhao in price.

Prince Tianhao sneered and casually said, "Eight hundred thousand!"

It was as if quoting this price was an easy task for Prince Tianhao.

The person bidding against Prince Tianhao was a slightly older man who looked listless and even sickly. Judging from his clothes, he should be from a world outside the Tiannan Great World.

Upon hearing the price of 800,000, the man hesitated visibly. After a moment of silence, he finally said, "One million!"

Prince Tianhao chuckled. They hesitated after only bidding one million; did they really think they could compete with him?

Two million!

Prince Tianhao waved his hand and said in a very generous manner. Although on the surface he seemed to not care about the spirit jade at all, he felt a little pained to bear the price of two million.

Upon hearing the bid, the seemingly listless man's lips twitched slightly, but he still gritted his teeth and raised his hand.

"Two million two hundred thousand."

"Hmm?" Prince Tianhao frowned. He had originally shouted out two million to crush the other party, but he did not expect that the other party's financial resources were so weak that they could still continue to compete.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Two million six hundred thousand!"

Despite quoting such an astonishing price, Prince Tianhao remained calm, acting as if he were someone who had plenty of money. But in reality, he was far from relaxed.

This price effectively shut out the competition from the man who was bidding against him. He sighed, shook his head, and ultimately did not raise the price. It wasn't that he was unwilling to spend the money, but rather that he simply didn't have that many spirit jades left.

"I wonder which country bumpkin from some small sect dares to try and compete with me."

Prince Tianhao said coldly, "It's all because of this bumpkin that I've spent so many spirit jades."

Ever since Yi Yun's sarcastic remark, he had been filled with anger. Now, seeing the sickly man looking dejected, he felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

The only downside was that he didn't step on Yi Yun. If Yi Yun had stepped in to compete earlier, it would have been better. Stepping on Yi Yun would have been much more satisfying.

Noticing Prince Tianhao's gaze, an old man beside him guessed what the Prince Tianhao was thinking and said, "Imperial Prince Highness, that young man surnamed Yi probably doesn't have the financial resources to bid at a trade fair of this level. He's just accompanying his elders to broaden his horizons."

An elder from a powerful faction nodded in agreement. "That's right. Most of the treasures at this trade fair were brought out by figures like Elder Mu, which are beyond the reach of the younger generation. Only outstanding individuals like His Highness the Imperial Prince, despite being a junior, possess substantial wealth and can compete with those powerful figures."

The elder's words pleased Prince Tianhao greatly, giving him a vague sense that he could now stand shoulder to shoulder with those great figures.

"Two million six hundred thousand Mid-grade Spirit Jade! Very well, these three little trinkets are yours. Truly a heroic young man, a force to be reckoned with!"

Elder Mu spared no praise.

"You flatter me, senior."

Prince Tianhao smiled slightly, stood up and bowed. In his view, Elder Mu was highly respected, and it would be beneficial for him to befriend Elder Mu.

"That annoying guy, he's really showing off." Beside Yi Yun, Jingyue Sha was a little annoyed. She also disliked this Prince Tianhao and couldn't stand seeing him so smug.

Yi Yun shook his head and said calmly, "There are idiots every year, but there seem to be more this year than ever."

"Huh?" Jingyue Sha was taken aback.

"While these Divine Treasure are of good quality, in my opinion, they're worth no more than 800,000 Mid-grade Spirit Jade. This trade fair is a great place; there are many buyers and few sellers. Plus, with so many important figures gathered here, bidding high prices is just for show. That old guy surnamed Mu got a huge bargain."

Yi Yun stroked his chin and looked at Elder Mu. Although the old man was just chuckling, in Yi Yun's eyes, the old man's smile looked like that of a cunning old fox.

He suddenly realized that hosting the Tiannan Peak Summit was a lucrative position. As the initiator, this old guy naturally had high prestige, and the things he brought to the trade fair would have added value from his prestige, making them easier to sell.

The old man was clearly satisfied with the price he had paid for the first three items. He slowly gestured to the voluptuous woman beside him, and soon produced three more jade boxes.

He said with a smile, "It's a pity that some fellow martial arts practitioners couldn't buy even the few items we just sold. I have a few trinkets here that I originally intended to keep for my disciples, but I might as well sell them as well."

As the old man spoke, the woman had already opened the boxes one by one.

Upon seeing what was inside, Prince Tianhao was somewhat bewildered. Two of the three items were a crystal-clear fruit and a piece of demon bone more than a foot long.

Isn't this the Dark Jade Flower he just bought, along with the Earth Demon Ape's finger bone?

These are exactly the same...

Princess Hongyi blinked and couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Tianhao, didn't you just say these things were extremely rare? How come there's another set?"

"This..." Prince Tianhao opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. Although he knew he had paid above market price for these treasures, he felt they were worth it because of their rarity. But when Elder Mu took out another set, he was dumbfounded.

Just then, Yi Yun spoke up. He looked at Prince Tianhao as if he were an idiot and said, "Are you stupid? The Earth Demon Ape has ten fingers, so of course it has ten finger bones. The Dark Jade Flower will also bear seven fruits. Since Elder Mu obtained such a treasure, he naturally brought it back. Did you really think he only brought back one of each?"

Yi Yun's voice wasn't loud, but martial artists have incredibly sharp hearing, and in an instant, everyone heard it. Prince Tianhao's face turned a deep purple.

He opened his mouth but couldn't speak. Before selling them, Elder Mu hadn't mentioned how many treasures he had, and he hadn't asked either. He subconsciously assumed that there was only one set of these things left.

Whose fault is that?
