"Our scales are valuable?"
Xie Liuyin could see that the doubt in Loulan's eyes was genuine. She said in surprise, "Don't you know that for a divine beast like you, anything on your body is an extremely precious treasure to people like us?"
"If the scales shed by an adult dragon like you were used to make armor, they would be considered top-grade immortal artifacts. Outside, they would fetch tens or even millions of immortal crystals."
Loulan heard this, and anger suddenly flashed in his eyes: "But the people who come to us to collect scales say otherwise. They say these scales are useless and they just grind them into powder to feed the fairy beasts!"
Xie Liuyin's eyes widened: "You've been deceived. How could dragon scales be useless?"
She hurriedly asked, "Who are these people who come to the Cloud Thunder Sea to collect dragon scales? Now that they're here, you can't give them away so easily!"
Fearing Loulan wouldn't believe him, Xie Liuyin continued, "There are several large auction houses in the Immortal Realm. You can go there and ask about the price of the dragon scale armor, or just the price of the scales. Then you'll realize how valuable these things are."
Loulan's face had already darkened. "I'll go and ask about it. Thank you very much for what you did today. I'll send the scales to you later."
After saying that, she left quickly without waiting for Xie Liuyin to react.
Because of the comfortable life in the fairy world, the dragon clan has been busy traveling in recent years and has not paid much attention to the situation in the fairy world.
The dragons who remained within the clan were very xenophobic and unwilling to interact with the outside world. This left them completely unaware of the value of dragon scales outside, and no dragon ever inquired about the use of the scales they had taken away.
Loulan doesn't care about fairy crystals. If they want such things, they can just go and dig a fairy crystal mine themselves.
But she cares about whether she has been deceived!
Loulan went all the way to find the elder of the tribe who was close to her, who was her third great-grandmother.
When Grandma learned of Loulan's intentions, her expression was not very pleasant. She told Loulan, "Don't spread this matter outside for now. I'll send someone to find out more."
Since Loulan came to her, she naturally trusted the other party. After hearing what the Third Ancestor said, she nodded in agreement.
Grandma acted quickly. On the third day after Loulan gave the scales to Xie Liuyin, she found Loulan and told him about her discovery.
"You're right, our scales are indeed very valuable outside," said the grandmother.
The people she sent out had already inquired at several auction houses, and they knew that a single dragon scale would cost at least 100,000 immortal crystals. As for a complete set of dragon scale armor, it would go straight to several million immortal crystals.
Although the price was a bit higher than outside because it was an auction house, those who came to buy dragon scales took away several carts of dragon scales, but were only given a hundred immortal crystals!
Moreover, the people sent by the grandmother misunderstood the immortals who came to collect the dragon scales, and they also went to investigate the forces behind the other party and where the dragon scales in their hands went.
It was eventually discovered that most of these dragon scales had been transformed into various immortal weapons and immortal clothes, and were sold at high prices in a store called Longbao Pavilion.
Because the store sold everything related to the dragon clan, it was mistakenly believed to be a store run by the dragon clan. No one in the fairy world dared to mess with it, and it made a fortune.
The dragon clan never cared about the scales they replaced, and the only important reverse scale was also kept by them.
They only disliked the space taken up by the other scales. If someone wanted to buy them, they would just sell them without caring too much.
They didn't care how many immortal crystals the scales could be sold for, but they were really annoyed by the deception of that group of people.
It was obvious that they were going to use them to refine immortal artifacts, but they lied and said they were going to feed immortal beasts. They also belittled the usefulness of their scales and gave them a low price to get rid of them!
