Cain raised an eyebrow and asked, "Oh? How much exactly is twice the usual auction price for the Ice Dragon blood essence? And, by the way, what rank of dragon does this blood essence come from?"
Old Feng stroked his beard thoughtfully before answering. "The blood essence comes from a Conqueror Rank Ice Dragon (Rank 11). As for the price, it's typically around 50 million Low Rank King Crystals. So, to pay in advance, you'll need 100 million Low Rank King Crystals."
When Cain heard it, he immediately frowned as he hadn't expected that the price would be this high.
He thought that it would probably come from a King Rank Ice Dragon since they chose this place to auction it, and he would have enough money after obtaining half of the Flarehart Family's wealth, but he was wrong, completely wrong.
'Should I use Fenix's twin swords as collateral?'
Cain thought and glanced at Fenix but quickly dismissed his thoughts since Cain needed Fenix to be at his peak in case something unexpected happened when they raided a top force later.
When Fenix felt the gaze, he instantly shuddered as he thought that Cain must have thought something bad about him.
Cain's eyes narrowed thoughtfully as he suddenly recalled something and asked Old Feng, "Old Feng, is the reason you're auctioning this blood essence to recruit fresh blood for the dragons?"
When the old man and Yuchen heard it, they were surprised at first but immediately overjoyed since they thought that must be from the Main World, as he knew the reason behind them auctioning the Ice Dragon blood essence.
This meant they would definitely 100% win the bet against Cain.

Old Feng smiled widely and answered. "You're absolutely right. That's indeed one of the reasons why we auction it."
Cain nodded in response and thought that his guess was correct.
The dragon race often used such methods to expand their forces by spreading their blood essence.
Those who refined had the chance to become half-dragons, but this tactic was more about creating expendable soldiers for their battlefields.
In fact, the dragon race actually despised the half-dragon race since it was such a disgrace to them.
If not for the fact that they needed cannon fodder in the war, they didn't even want to be connected by these lowly half-dragon races.
That said, exceptional individuals among the half-dragons who demonstrated remarkable talent or contributions would even be given the real chance to become the dragon race.
This slim chance was what enticed people to seek dragon blood essence since at least they had a chance to become the real dragon and part of the dragon race.
Even if they only became a half-dragon race and were looked down upon by the real dragon race, they still had quite a bit of social status and were respected in the Main World.
Though, it depends on the places since not everyone in the Main World had lower status than even the dragon race, which meant the half-dragon race in their eyes was nothing for them.
Cain then just remembered that he had something that was definitely worth more than Ice Dragon's blood essence.
It was his own blood essence, more accurately the diluted blood that Cain had in his beast space.
"Old Feng," Cain said, tapping his fingers on the armrest, "I have something that's worth more than your Ice Dragon blood essence. However, I'll only show it to you once. I won't leave it as collateral because it's too precious."
Old Feng's interest piqued since he thought that he would see an extremely rare treasure. "It depends on what it is. If it's truly as valuable as you claim, I'll trust you and hand over the Ice Dragon blood essence first."
Cain nodded. "Can you isolate this room completely with your full strength?"
Old Feng instantly stopped his stroke on his beard and became serious as he thought that Cain wasn't joking at all since he was even required to completely isolate this room with his full strength.
He then nodded before taking the token and informed his subordinate to not panic with the disturbance that he was about to make.
Old Feng then used his full strength as he enveloped the entire room, making it impossible for someone to spy or detect any movement inside the room unless they were much stronger than the old man.
When Old Feng used his full strength, not only the Starlight Auction House but the entire Capital City was immediately in chaos since everyone sensed the overwhelming power coming from the center of the city.
Everyone thought that someone had angered a powerful person and immediately cursed whoever that was.
Even inside the Royal Palace, the King, who was the strongest person in the kingdom, was immediately shocked since he knew that this power should belong to the person who had reached the Peak-level Conqueror Rank.
'Could this be related to those troublemakers earlier?' The king thought about the reports that he received from his subordinates more than an hour ago.
He even felt the strong power coming from the Flarehart Family when Fenix was about to kill the first elder with one move and thought that the Flarehart Family was done for because they offended the wrong person this time.
He then ordered everyone to evacuate and stay away from the Starlight Auction House since if the battle would happen, even he was helpless to help in evacuating and might even get injured or worse, killed.
Now, he could only pray and hope that a miracle would happen because if the battle between strong people who had that kind of power happened inside the capital city, he could only cry inside since this city would be destroyed from the battle.
Naturally he needed to go in person to help evacuate and prevent the aftermath from destroying the capital city.
As the king was lost in thoughts, he was surprised to receive a message from the Starlight Auction House.
After checking the message, he instantly felt relieved that apparently he didn't need to worry about this disturbance.
He then ordered his subordinates to calm the situation inside the capital city as everyone was in a state of fear.
