Rebirth of the Prime Dragon Master novel Chapter 1827

"Oh, yes. We have collected lots of treasures," Valeria responded, playing along with Rocky.

"If I remember correctly, one of them is a divine treasure. So, if we are to give something to Prince Zain, why not that?" Then, right after Rocky spoke of it, he took out a seemingly unremarkable and ordinary purple root.

At the same time, everyone was intrigued upon hearing that Rocky mentioned a divine treasure. However, when their gazes fell on the object that Rocky just took out, the people present showed a confused expression. After all, it looked far from being precious, and it seemed that nothing was special about it.

Of course, this was what the weak thought. But in the eyes of the strong warriors, especially those at the Shura Realm, they could see a dazzling spiritual light emitting from it.

"Is that the Purple Demonic Root?" Gilbert suddenly exclaimed as he recognized the divine treasure in Rocky's hand.

Immediately after, the crowd went into an uproar upon hearing what Gilbert just said. They knew that the Purple Demonic Root was an extremely rare divine treasure. It could absorb and condense the essence of heaven and earth and also transform it into powerful demonic energy. However, because of the treasure's fiendish nature, it could only be refined by masters that were at least at the Shura Realm. Hence, for masters at the Shura Realm, it was indeed a coveted treasure that could be used to further their cultivation.

Unfortunately, the place where the Purple Demonic Root could be found was extremely dangerous. In fact, even Shura Realm masters did not dare to enter it. Hence, even the royal family considered the Purple Demonic Root as a priceless treasure.

Thus, at this moment, Zain could not remove his gaze from the Purple Demonic Root. His eyes were filled with greed, and he really wanted it for himself. Upon reaching the Shura Realm, it was pretty hard to increase one's strength. It might take dozens of years or even hundreds of years to reach the next level. That was why this kind of treasure was pretty famous among strong masters. By using this rare divine treasure, it could drastically shorten one's cultivation time to reach a higher level.

Currently, in the royal family, there were only three warriors who were at the peak level of the Shura Realm, and only a few managed to reach the high grade.

As for Prince Zain, since he was a talented master, even at his current age, he was already close to reaching the middle grade of the Shura Realm.

Hence, once he obtained the Purple Demonic Root, he would have a huge chance of breaking through to the middle grade of the Shura Realm.

If only someone else gave this treasure to him as a gift, Zain would be more than willing to accept it. However, Rocky was giving it to him in return for a holy treasure, which was obviously less valuable than a divine treasure. If he was to accept it, people would think that it was distasteful of him. On the other hand, if he refused, he would lose such an extremely rare opportunity to improve his strength.

Originally, Zain planned on stealing the limelight from Layla, but he did not expect that he would suddenly fall into this kind of dilemma.

Meanwhile, Layla was actually enjoying the scene. She was surprised that Rocky was in possession of such a precious treasure, and he was even willing to give it away so casually. She thought that if she was in Zain's position, she would also be tempted to accept it.

"No. I can't accept it! But I really appreciate the gesture of you offering it to me." In order not to disgrace himself, Zain could only refuse politely while gritting his teeth. It was such a hard decision to make, but it was the right one.

"If Prince Zain won't accept it, can I have it instead? After all, it is such a precious treasure." Out of nowhere, Layla took advantage of the opportunity and asked Rocky.

When Zain heard this, his face instantly darkened. He was taken aback that Layla would shamelessly ask for it, disregarding her status as a member of the royal family.

"Yeah, why not? You can have it, Layla. It would be more useful in your hands than in ours." After saying that, Rocky immediately handed the Purple Demonic Root over to Layla. At the same time, since he addressed the princess in a very casual and even intimate way, people's eyes widened and they started to speculate about their relationship.

After all, it was so uncommon for a mere Godly Genius to address Princess Layla so casually by her name.

In fact, even Valeria was surprised. Just a few days ago, he told her that he had not met the princess yet. But now, it seemed that they already had a special kind of relationship.

At this moment, Zain was still in a daze. He could not believe that he just lost such a great opportunity and he did not even get anything in return. Moreover, he found out that Rocky and Layla were in a good relationship. Hence, he realized that all the gifts that he sent to win them over to his side were all for naught.

"Well, I actually only came here to deliver the gifts in person. I still have something else to do, so please excuse me," Zain eventually said with a long face. He felt rather humiliated that all he wanted to do was leave the scene as soon as possible.
