"I didn't think that a No Return Grass would appear in Duanmu City."
His eyes flashed with a hint of passion as he looked at the excited crowd. Xiao Chen quickly caught up to the crowd and at the same time, information regarding the No Return Grass flashed through his mind.
The No Return Grass was not a precious medicine that could increase one's cultivation, nor could it be used to strengthen one's physical body. It was a very special kind of natural treasure that could be used to strengthen one's soul. It contained an endless will to fight, to face death as if it was going home, and to press forward and never retreat!
Green blood stains the blue sky!
Never return until the foreign races are destroyed!
In that era when the hundred races wreaked havoc in the Great Wilderness, countless ancestors sacrificed their lives for the sake of survival. They faced death as if it was returning home. Even though they knew that they were no match for the foreign races, they still rushed to the frontlines of the war against the foreign races. They used their flesh and blood to stop the foreign races from advancing. In the end, because they were outnumbered, all the warriors who rushed to the disaster died in battle. Not a single one of them returned.
Later on, at the place where the ancestors died in battle, someone discovered this kind of grass. When the great human experts died on the battlefield, their unyielding battle blood spilled onto the ground. When the boiling hot blood splashed onto the grass, it perfectly preserved the unyielding will of the human race.
In order to commemorate the ancestors of the human race, the later generations named this kind of grass the No Return Grass. Taking the green blood and staining the blue sky, it swore to not return until the foreign races are destroyed.
Green blood stains the blue sky, loyal souls protect the human race!
It could be said that every No Return Grass grew under the green blood of the human race. It represented the unyielding backbone of the human race in the Great Wilderness.
Not long after, Xiao Chen arrived at the place where the crowd had gathered. At this moment, there was already a sea of people. The crowd was tightly packed, and from the looks of it, there were at least a few thousand people who had gone crazy for the No Return Grass.
Under Xiao Chen's powerful soul perception, nothing could hide from him. In his perception, there were no less than ten people with surging blood Qi. This did not include the warriors who were hiding their auras. It could be said that there were no less than twenty Blood Refining Realm warriors in the crowd. It would not be an easy task to obtain the No Return Grass of the human race.
In front of everyone was a square foot tall platform. On top of the platform, an old man was standing with a boy who was only a few years old. Although the old man looked old, his body was tall and strong, and his eyes were filled with anger. A great spear was standing in the wind, and the boy was holding a white jade basin. Inside the basin, there was a small blade of grass that was fluttering in the wind. The verdant leaves had traces of blood on them, and they were bright red like blood, giving people a feeling that they were about to drip down.
"No Return Grass!
Today, I finally see the true face of this No Return Grass. According to the legend, once you refine this No Return Grass, you will be able to feel the unyielding fighting will of our human race's ancestors. "
"That's right. If you are a talented warrior, you might be able to comprehend your own fighting will after refining this treasure, and become invincible in the world."
"How can it be so easy to comprehend fighting will? You should know that the warriors who can comprehend fighting will are all rare geniuses of our human race. Even those supreme geniuses on the Heaven's Chosen List might not be able to comprehend fighting will. However, even if they can't comprehend fighting will, refining this No Return Grass will also bring them great benefits, which can make their spirit forever strong."
More and more humans gathered around. Every single one of them stared fixedly at this precious herb, their eyes filled with boundless desire. But although this treasure was good, they still had to act within their means. This treasure was not fated to be with most of them.
"The You Xiong Tribe offers five thousand low-grade Primordial Stones for this No Return Grass."
Finally, someone couldn't hold back the desire in his heart, and took the initiative to speak. The one who spoke was a big man who looked like a guard. Behind him stood a young man in a battle suit. He had an extraordinary aura, and there was a trace of arrogance in his eyes.
As soon as the middle-aged man opened his mouth, the surrounding people started to discuss. "No wonder you are one of the four controlling tribes of Duanmu City. You can easily take out five thousand low-grade Primordial Stones."
The price of five thousand low-grade Primordial Stones had already made most of the people lose their minds. Originally, some Wanderers had shown some interest, but after seeing the young man's generous offer, they quickly gave up on that idea. As Wanderers, they were weak, and couldn't compete with these tribes at all.
"I offer six thousand low-grade Primordial Stones, and this No Return Grass will belong to the Shadow Forest Tribe."
A rough voice came from outside the crowd. A huge body forced the crowd away, and arrived in front of the old man. He stared at the No Return Grass in the boy's hand with a pair of blazing eyes.
"Sixth Ying!"
Seeing the newcomer, the young man of the You Xiong Tribe trembled unnaturally, and then said in a flustered and exasperated manner, "Sixth Ying, don't think that I, You Xiong Peinan, am afraid of you. This is a normal bidding, and the highest bidder wins. I offer seven thousand."
"Eight thousand."
"You Xiong Tribe offers ten thousand low-grade Primordial Stones."
"Eleven thousand Primal Stones."
"Sixth Ying, are you trying to stir up a dispute between two tribes?"
Seeing that the big man wasn't budging an inch, You Xiong Peinan became flustered and exasperated, and couldn't help but threaten him.
"The highest bidder wins." Sixth Ying didn't care about You Xiong Peinan's threat at all, and replied with a faint smile.
Seeing that his threat had no effect on Sixth Ying, You Xiong Peinan had no choice but to come up with a plan. He turned around and faced the old man who had the No Return Grass.
"Old man, you have to think clearly. Don't be too greedy. Primordial Stones are good, but don't be dead in the end!"
His naked threat immediately spread across the crowd. Everyone looked at him with disdain, but You Xiong Peinan didn't care at all. As long as he could get this No Return Grass, no matter if he refined it himself or handed it over to the tribe, it would be a great contribution. He would have a greater say in the tribe, and it was even possible for him to become the next successor of the tribe. Therefore, he didn't care too much.
Unfortunately, facing his naked threat, the old man didn't move at all. Instead, he just ignored him, which made the young man even angrier.
"You are threatening this old man."
Finally, the old man responded, "For the sake of You Xiong Invincible, this old man won't kill you today. Piss off!"
"How dare you!"
Hearing the old man calling the chief by his name, the guard behind You Xiong Peinan immediately became furious. Blue Battle Qi burst out from his body, and he was about to attack.
"Scram!"
The old man's eyes instantly opened, revealing a divine light. That Blood Refinement guard didn't even have the slightest ability to resist and was instantly sent flying. Blood flowed out of his seven orifices, and he was heavily injured.
Seeing this scene, the surrounding people were all shocked. As a Blood Refining cultivator, no matter how weak he was, he was still an existence that could become a tribe leader of a low-ranked tribe. However, he couldn't even withstand the gaze of this old man. Just how strong was this old man? It caused people to tremble in fear.
"Terrifying!"
All of this fell into Xiao Chen's eyes. This old man's strength was far too terrifying. His body was like a tyrannical volcano, and his Battle Qi was like a bottomless abyss. Even his attacks contained traces of mental energy. This piqued Xiao Chen's interest.
