Chapter 718: Unable to cooperate
Long San crawled out of the ruins, spat out a few teeth, and stared at Jiang Chen with resentment.
"Boy, you dare to hurt me!"
He roared, "You're dead!"
Whoosh~
He soared into the sky and escaped from Longquan Town.
"Master Jiang, that Dragon Scale Dragon King seems to be at odds with the Dragon Emperor."
After Long San ran away, the shopkeeper came to Jiang Chen and said.
"oh?"
Jiang Chen nodded thoughtfully, and then asked: "How did you know?"
He had noticed the shopkeeper just now, but didn't take it seriously.
"The Dragon King once killed the Dragon Scale Dragon King's brother."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly: "The two families are like water and fire."
Jiang Chen suddenly realized that it was no wonder that the Dragon Scale Dragon King attacked him when they met.
"What should we do now? Should we report it to the police?"
The shopkeeper suggested that he believed Jiang Chen’s strength was very strong and was not weaker than the Dragon Scale Dragon King.
As the only dean of the Holy Martial Academy in the eastern region, the Dragon Emperor has extremely high prestige and cannot be insulted.
"No."
Jiang Chen waved his hand: "I just want to find some information. Since we can't cooperate, forget it."
He didn't care about the Dragon Scale Dragon King, and there was no need to provoke him.
Now he just wanted to find out as quickly as possible what secrets were hidden in the Longquan Jade.
The shopkeeper nodded, he knew that Jiang Chen’s target was Longquan stone carvings.
"I'll go get you something to eat."
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper decided.
Jiang Chen agreed, and the innkeeper left the inn.
He walked along the street, observing everywhere.
Suddenly, he noticed a lot of people gathered in front of a restaurant.
Jiang Chen frowned slightly and walked straight towards the restaurant.
"Dear fellow villagers, today we at Longquan Pavilion will hold an auction..."
On the second floor of the restaurant, a young man in gorgeous clothes stood in front of the stage and spoke passionately.
"The items for this auction are five spiritual crystals. They are rare and the price is naturally worth it. Please participate actively."
After listening to the young man’s introduction, many people were very excited and couldn’t wait.
Spirit crystal stones are extremely precious and are usually only found in cities. It is rare to see one in an ordinary village.
Jiang Chen sat on a table and chair nearby, watching the young man's performance quietly.
"Everyone, the first item for auction today is a broken talisman."
The young man took out a piece of yellow paper with a strange pattern drawn on it.
"It is said that this talisman was left by an ancient immortal. It contains amazing power and can summon lightning..."
He talked excitedly about the magic of the talisman.
After hearing this, many people became eager to take action.
"alright."
Suddenly, the young man called a halt and said in a mysterious manner, "The reserve price for this item is one hundred spirit crystal stones. Bidding is welcome."
After he finished speaking, the entire restaurant fell silent.
One hundred spirit crystals are too far away for most common people and they dare not even dream about it.
"One hundred spirit crystals."
Just when everyone was silent, a voice rang out.
Hearing this, the crowd was in an uproar and looked in the direction of the voice.
Jiang Chen picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said calmly.
"snort."
The young man snorted coldly and said unhappily: "Do you know what one hundred spirit crystals represent?"
“I’ll bid on whatever it represents.”
Jiang Chen said: "When I gambled with your master, I lost 100,000 spirit crystals."
"So what?"
The young man sneered, "You can't even take out a hundred spirit crystals?"
"Who said I didn't?" Jiang Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly.
After saying that, he threw out a pile of spirit crystals, which landed on the table.
"One thousand spirit crystals!"
Looking at the spirit crystal stone on the table, everyone was dumbfounded.
The young man's face turned purple.
Jiang Chen ignored the young man and continued drinking his tea.
The restaurant fell into silence, and no one wanted to be taken advantage of.
"Two thousand spirit crystals."
At this moment, a voice rang out.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw a well-dressed young man from a wealthy family.
Judging from his expression, he was obviously determined to get this talisman.
"Three thousand spirit crystals!"
Jiang Chen said calmly.
He felt very familiar with the talisman and spent a huge amount of money to buy it.
The young man gritted his teeth and said with pain: "Four thousand!"
"Six thousand!" Jiang Chen said without hesitation.
"Seven thousand!" the young man shouted.
"Nine thousand!" Jiang Chen's tone remained calm.
"Eight thousand!" roared the young man.
The people in the restaurant were shocked. It was the first time they had encountered such a wealthy man who spent money lavishly.
"I'll take this spell."
The rich young man gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
"One hundred thousand spirit crystals."
Jiang Chen said calmly.
Wow——
The whole audience was in an uproar.
One hundred thousand spirit crystals, that's simply crazy.
The young man opened his eyes wide and breathed rapidly, as if all his strength had been drained away, and slumped dejectedly into the chair.
This amulet was very important to him, but he didn't have enough money to buy it.
"This talisman belongs to me."
However, a domineering voice came.
I saw a burly man standing next to Jiang Chen.
He is strong, with bulging muscles, a physique like an iron tower, and full of explosive power.
"Who are you?" Jiang Chen asked.
"I am the chief guardian of Longquan Pavilion."
The burly man grinned and said, "I have been ordered to protect the safety of the young master."
Jiang Chen's mind turned, and he immediately guessed what was going on.
"This talisman belongs to me."
The burly man stretched out his right hand and said to Jiang Chen: "Leave it to me, I will let you enter Longquan Mountain."
"Why?" Jiang Chen said disdainfully.
"Just because I'm stronger than you."
The burly man smiled and shook his head: "Let me tell you this, you are no match for me."
"Are you saying that your strength is far superior to mine?" Jiang Chen asked back.
The burly man nodded.
Jiang Chen shrugged, stood up and prepared to leave.
The burly man frowned, Jiang Chen did not follow the script, which caught him off guard.
"Wait."
He quickly grabbed Jiang Chen's arm.
Jiang Chen broke free and looked at him in confusion.
The burly man hesitated for a moment and whispered, "I have a task that requires your help."
"No."
Jiang Chen decisively refused, turned around and left without staying any longer.
The burly man was stunned and clenched his fists.
"He wouldn't be afraid to take on this mission, would he?"
The onlookers whispered and questioned Jiang Chen.
"I think he just doesn't dare and is just pretending." Someone said contemptuously.
"I believe him."
These words were spoken with such force and power that they attracted surprised looks from the people around him.
The young man's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he thought about what Jiang Chen said.
He could use the power of Longquan Pavilion to make others hand over the things, but he was seen through by Jiang Chen.
"When I succeed in my cultivation, I will trample him under my feet."
The young man said viciously.
"Are you sure he's faking it?"
On the other side, a figure disappeared from the restaurant at an extremely fast speed.
"Um?"
Jiang Chen keenly sensed the danger.
"die!"
Almost at the same time, a ball of fire suddenly shot out from the dark void and fell like a meteor.
"not good!"
This ball of fire has a terrifying temperature. If it hits you, you will be shattered to pieces.
