Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2728: Chapter 2731: This Favor, I Must Accept

”Brother Jiang, how much do you have? Put it all out for auction!”

Tang Jie looked at Jiang Chen with shining eyes. If there was only one bloom after two hours, the Tang Royal Mansion might not be able to bid for it.

”What do you think Heart Demon Flame is? You want as much as you can get? You saw when Princess Chang was attempting to transcend the tribulation, the first bloom almost took my life. It’s a good deal just to get two blooms. Do you think I don’t care about my life and just keep plucking Heart Demon Flame?”

Jiang Chen glared at Tang Jie, annoyed.

The audience in the venue nodded in agreement, especially those who witnessed the event in the Canglan Realm. They saw firsthand how Jiang Chen nearly perished under that Zi Yan flame. Although Jiang Chen later shielded everyone’s view, they concluded it’s impossible to obtain too much Heart Demon Flame. Given his state at the time, two blooms seemed right, three was absolutely the limit!

However, no one realized a crucial point.

When Jiang Chen was dealing with Lei Yan, he was injured to the point of near-death, and only managed to subdue it by using ancient alchemy techniques with another’s Dao seed. But when he subdued the Heart Demon Flame, people saw nothing, as it was carried out in the Sea of Consciousness, straining their prior impressions into the present.

”Pang brother, come take the Heart Demon Flame!”

Jiang Chen smiled slightly, beckoning to Pang Guang.

Whoosh!

Pang Guang immediately flew up and landed beside Jiang Chen, cautiously wrapping both hands in the Power of the Great Dao, taking over the light orb Jiang Chen had condensed using the Power of the Great Dao.

”The seal on this was condensed using the Power of the Great Dao. If any senior bids for it, it’s best to infuse the Power of the Great Dao to strengthen the seal, lest it breaks after a long time and causes a sudden explosion of Heart Demon Flame.”

Jiang Chen handed over the Heart Demon Flame, reminding everyone loudly.

”Understood!”

”Thank you, Mr. Jiang, for the reminder!”

The audience responded cheerfully.

Whoosh!

Pang Guang jumped back to the auction platform, smiled at Pang Lie: ”Pang Lie, shouldn’t you be stepping down?”

”Get lost!”

”Buzz off!”

”Step down!”

A chorus of curses rang out as some prepared individuals wanted to start bidding quickly. They saw some had already left, while those unprepared believed if not for Pang Lie, Jiang Chen might have waited two hours for both blooms, since a later auction might fetch a better price.

Pang Lie’s face twisted with rage, wishing he could set off the Heart Demon Flame right there.

Nonetheless, he knew deep down, if he really triggered the Heart Demon Flame, everyone present could tear him apart alive, as this was Canghai Trade Alliance’s auction and he broke the rules first.

Swish, swish!

Two elders who previously protected Jiang Chen stepped to Pang Guang’s sides, both staring at Pang Lie, having sensed the murderous intent in his eyes.

”Step down!”

The elder closest to Pang Lie spoke grimly.

Pang Lie looked at the Heart Demon Flame in Pang Guang’s hands, and fiercely glared at Jiang Chen at the doorway of the second-floor box, then turned around and stepped off the auction platform.

Jiang Chen chuckled lightly, glancing at the venue. At this time, the audience had diminished slightly, even fewer stood at the second-floor box doorway.

Understanding they went to notify their families to prepare, Jiang Chen smiled faintly and turned to walk towards the box.

”Brother Jiang!”

Suddenly, Pang Guang called out.

Jiang Chen turned to look at Pang Guang, a hint of doubt in his eyes.

”Brother Jiang, are you going to auction Dao Source Beads for the Heart Demon Flame?”

Pang Guang spoke with a meaningful look.

Jiang Chen understood instantly, chuckling: ”The Nether Scale of a Saint Monarch Level Dragon Clan, Essence Blood of a Saint Monarch Level Kylin, power of a top-tier strong entity like Dragon Qi, top tier Spiritual Fire, no lower than Heaven Rank, top tier Beast Flame, no lower than Saint Monarch Realm Magic Beast. If there’s such stuff, I can calculate Dao Source Beads at twice the market price. If someone can offer more than three items like these, I won’t hold it, the third and final Heart Demon Flame, I’ll exchange it directly!”

This time, the venue had even fewer people, even Tang Jie, Yue Muchen, and Feng Xuan’er had vanished!

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Chen no longer delayed, and stepped into the box.

”Jiang Chen, can you save a bloom for me?”

Cheng Huang’er followed into the box and spoke softly.

Jiang Chen glanced at the doorway, now the box contained only him, Cheng Huang’er, and Yuan Chong.

”Little Princess, do you have a Spiritual Treasure that can shield perceptions? The kind that can block Saint Monarch Strong Ones from probing.”

Jiang Chen transmitted the thought.

Cheng Huang’er’s eyes lit up, extending her hand to reveal a crystalline Jade Talisman.

Wow!

Cheng Huang’er activated the Jade Talisman, a mysterious light emerged, enveloping the box.

”Brother Yuan Chong, keep some of what we talk secret, otherwise it will cause me trouble!”

Jiang Chen turned to Yuan Chong.

”No, I’d rather step out. This item is too precious, I’m afraid I might accidentally tell my family!”

Yuan Chong said with a bitter smile, shaking his head, and stood up to exit the box.

Jiang Chen didn’t stop him, it’s better the fewer who knew.

Once Yuan Chong left and closed the door, Jiang Chen cautiously transmitted the thought: ”Little Princess, initially, I hadn’t thought about this, and given the mixed crowd in the Canglan Realm, I said nothing there. You, Princess Chang, and the Crown Prince, each will get a bloom. I won’t take anything from you, since you’ve been helping me, I keep it in mind, consider it my token of gratitude. Don’t ask how many I have, I don’t wish to deceive you.”

Cheng Huang’er paused upon hearing this, a complicated look flashed in her eyes, a warmth streamed through her heart.

”Wait here for me!”

Cheng Huang’er softly instructed, passed the Jade Talisman to Jiang Chen, stood up and left the box.

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned, puzzled, shrugged, and turned his attention back to the auction outside.

Bang bang bang!

A quarter-hour later, the box door was knocked.

”Enter!”

Jiang Chen called softly.

Crack!

The door opened, Pang Guang walked in, through the door gap Jiang Chen saw a few people standing outside.

”Brother Jiang!”

Pang Guang entered alone, closed the door, glanced at the light shield enveloping the room, smiled gratefully at Jiang Chen, cupped his fists and said: ”Thank you!”

”No need to be polite, Pang brother!”

Jiang Chen chuckled: ”Perhaps this also is partly my fault, those three...”

Jiang Chen whispered the situation regarding the Third Prince targeting him.

”No! Regardless of whether the Third Prince targets Brother Jiang, I accept this favor!”

Pang Guang shook his head, still looking gratefully at Jiang Chen.

”Sit!”

Jiang Chen didn’t argue further, gestured to the chair nearby.

Pang Guang took a seat, whispered: ”Brother Jiang, some people outside wish to chat with you privately.”

”I’ve seen them, trouble Pang brother to inform them. I have only three blooms to offer, I won’t see them to avoid unnecessary trouble.”

Jiang Chen spoke softly.

”Alright!”

Pang Guang nodded, stood up and left the box.

He asked to see if Jiang Chen would like to conduct a private trade. Since Jiang Chen declined, he would fend off some trouble, given Jiang Chen revealed the Heart Demon Flame to help him!
