The arrogant woman immediately quieted down. She did not dare to let out even the slightest of voice at this moment.
"Hao Kun!" Hao Yue shouted.
"Yes, young master!" A middle-aged man came forward from Hao Yue's back. He was one of the two followers that came here with Hao Yue.
"Go and find out who that brat was and which country he belongs to!" Hao Yue said coldly.
"Yes, young master. I am going!" After saying this, the middle-aged man named Hao Kun left the Treasure Pavilion.
"Elder Fang, let's continue!" Hao Yue said and went to the second floor of the Treasure Pavilion with elder Fang.
.....
After coming out from the Treasure Pavilion, Ye Xiao started to wander around, unaware that Hao Yue send one of his people to find the information about him.
As he was walking around, he saw a large crowd of people going in a certain direction.
"Hey, brother! Can you tell me where all of you are going?" Ye Xiao stopped a young man in his early twenties and asked curiously.
That young man looked at Ye Xiao and when he saw Ye Xiao's simple and ordinary clothes, without answering Ye Xiao, he continues to walk on his way.
Ye Xiao was speechless as he saw this. He did not ask again from anyone. He also started to walk along with the crowd of people.
In his way, he heard the conversation between people and found out why these many people were walking in a certain direction.
It turned out that all the people were going to the Imperial Garden. Imperial Family dug out many big ice cubes from the Ice Mountain. When the people from the imperial family went for adventure on the Ice Mountain, they were caught in the snow-storm.
They started running for their lives but still many people died. After the snow-storm subsided, they saw many big ice cubes on the surface of the Ice Mountain. Those people hurriedly informed back to the emperor of the Grand Xia Empire and the emperor gave an order to gather all the ice cubes.
After the big ice cubes were gathered, they brought them back and kept them in the Imperial Garden.
After they broke a few ice cubes, they found out that some of the big ice cubes contain treasure within them. Seeing this, with the emperor's permission, the Imperial Family organised an event and the people of the Grand Xia Empire can buy the ice cubes and test their luck.
If one got lucky and obtains some treasure, that treasure will belong to the person who bought the ice cubes from the imperial family.
Ye Xiao also followed along to try his luck.
Since this event was organised by the Imperial Family, there should not be any problem.
After thinking this, Ye Xiao became excited as he also arrived in front of a big palace.
Many people went to the Ice Mountain when they found out about the matter related to the ice cubes but they did not found any ice cubes there.
All the ice cubes were already brought back by the people of the imperial family.
When Ye Xiao arrived, there were already many people gathered there. He entered and after passing the checkpoint where two guards were guarding, he arrived at the Imperial Garden.
From the outside, the Imperial garden was not obvious, but after he entered, he realised that the Imperial Garden was like a totally different world. It was a very big garden where different trees were planted. There was a wide road that led directly to the depths of the garden.
Ye Xiao went straight and arrived at a place that was filled with many large ice cubes.
There were many people gathered, looking at the ice cubes. They were trying to see through the ice cubes but for some reason, they could not.
If one wants to buy, it all depends on their luck if he or she can obtain a treasure or not.
There were also many cultivators wearing luxurious robes chatting with each other. They were obviously here to try their luck and see if they could obtain something good from the ice cubes or not.
Ye Xiao also looked at the ice cubes curiously. He could not see anything on the surface. Their surfaces were covered with all kinds of strange patterns. If he wanted to find out what was inside, he would have to cut them open.
Furthermore, this also involved a process that would drive countless cultivators crazy and that was gambling on the ice cubes!
Cultivators who entered the Imperial Garden would have to rely on their own eyes to choose the ice cubes. Not every ice cubes contain treasures within them.
"I want this ice cube!"
As Ye Xiao was looking at the ice cubes curiously, he heard a loud shout that came from the front, immediately attracting many people's attention. Ye Xiao raised his head and saw a middle-aged man standing in front of an ice cube that was as tall as a person, and this ice cube was priced at ten thousand low-grade spirit stones.
This was not a low price. Even in second grade country like the Golden Fragrance Country, not many people have spirit stones but here in the imperial city of the Grand Xia Empire, the currency used to purchase was spirit stones and because of this, every single person here have spirit stones with them.
But even so, this price was still very high.
Many people surrounded it to see if this ice cube could cut anything.
Ye Xiao also went up curiously, amidst the clamouring discussions around him, he carefully observed the ice cubes, but to his disappointment, no matter how he tried, he was unable to see through the ice cubes.
"Eh! My ten thousand low-grade spirit stones!"
Suddenly, Ye Xiao heard a voice filled with sadness. He looked in the direction of that voice and saw that it was the same middle-aged man who just bought an ice cube.
From the looks of it, that middle-aged man did not obtain anything from the ice cube he bought.
