Chapter 148 - I’m Disappointed in You
While Ling Xi was giving Long Chen the rundown of the Demonic Blood Essence, the lady from the Dawn Trading Alliance announced the starting bid.
It would start at thirty-five thousand divine jades, the same price as the Blazing Thunder Crystals.
When it came to spiritual herbs, some held more value than their grade indicated.
For example, the Demonic Blood Essence was merely an elementary Black-tier spiritual herb. However, it was highly sought after because it could increase one’s cultivation level immediately and without any side-effects.
Some people would give one to a youth in their family to speed up their cultivation.
Xue Yuanzi and the people of Baiyang Town didn’t know the true value of the Ascension Fruit. Even though it was an elementary Black-tier spiritual herb as well, it was valued at around ten thousand divine jades due to the fact that it could help the user condense their Human Core.
Liu Lan was unsatisfied with how she had only managed to get Long Chen the ten Blazing Thunder Crystals. She wanted to leave as the auction was going to finish soon and the remaining items weren’t suitable for Long Chen.
There was a surprising amount of people bidding on the Demonic Blood Essence.
What caught her attention was that even Jin Sheng'en joined in.
“Forty thousand divine jades.”
A cold voice came from the booth beside them. There was a hint of snobbishness beneath his tone, much like the children of nobilities Long Chen had met in Baiyang Town.
“Forty-one thousand!”
“Forty-two thousand!”
“Forty-five thousand!”
The price continued to increase.
The previous item's starting bid was fifty thousand divine jades and was sold at eighty thousand. The Demonic Blood Essence was the second to last item, so its value was nowhere near the previous one.
The reason they placed the Demonic Blood Essence as the second to last item was to attract some of the older customers to buy it for their families as well as to give the guests some time to compose themselves before the final item.
However, the final item was useless for Long Chen, and the Demonic Blood Essence was extremely helpful to him.
When the price reached fifty thousand, almost no one wanted to bid for it anymore. Fifty thousand was the usual market price for it.
“Fifty-five thousand.”
Jin Sheng'en chuckled and bid once more. Everyone else thought about it and gave up on bidding.
“Fifty-five thousand! Are there any more bids?”
After thinking about it, he defended himself. “Please do not spread false accusations about me. I am only exchanging pleasantries with the man in the booth beside me. When did I break any rules? I will relinquish the Demonic Blood Essence to him.”
Jin Sheng'en’s statement made it clear that he intended to not ruin the Dawn Trading Alliance’s reputation. Since he didn’t want to escalate things, the Dawn Trading Alliance would definitely not go further than that. The old man even apologized politely. “It seems I overreacted. I sincerely apologize for that. I will personally come to the young master after the auction to apologize.”
Both of them had decided to take a step back, and the issue was resolved. The pretty lady quickly announced who would get the Demonic Blood Essence. “I now announce that the Demonic Blood Essence belongs to the man inside the Rose Booth for sixty thousand divine jades!”
Liu Lan was displeased at how Long Chen had completely ignored her. The Dawn Trading Alliance was in the process of auctioning off the final item when Liu Lan stared at Long Chen coldly.
“Long Chen, do you not fear death?”
“Why do you say that?”
After obtaining the Demonic Blood Essence, Long Chen saw how crossed she was and finally talked to her. He was afraid she would kill him.
Liu Lan felt disappointed upon seeing how Long Chen was still so nonchalant.
Even though everyone thought he would merely make a fool out of himself in the qualifiers, Liu Lan still had some faith in him, considering how many miracles he had created thus far.
But she realized that she had overestimated him after seeing how immature and rash he was.
“Ignoring Chu Yunxi, Jin Sheng'en is even stronger than her. Aren’t you seeking death for angering him?”
Long Chen knew what might happen, but the issue was not that severe.
If he entered the qualifiers with his current strength, he would surely die. But if he entered the Earthly Core Realm, there was a chance of surviving even though he would have to fight Chu Yunxi and Jin Sheng’en.
But he could not reveal the secrets of the Blood Transmutation, so he remained silent.
Liu Lan became angrier after seeing how Long Chen did not realize the gravity of the situation. Her chest heaved from anger while her eyes were cold.
“I’m disappointed in you, Long Chen. I thought you were amazing, but it seems that you’ve just been lucky all this time.”
Liu Lan could not comprehend why he would anger Jin Sheng'en for no reason.
Long Chen chuckled secretly from being underestimated by her. “What are you talking about? There’s nothing between you and I. I’m just a pawn to you, so why are you disappointed? Administrator Liu, remember this ... I will always be Long Chen. I will do what I want, and I will take responsibility for my life. There’s no need for you to worry about my future and achievements. No need to talk to me, scold me, or even insult me. You just need to watch.”
Long Chen’s cold glare and stubborn voice made her feel confused.
After hearing his confident words, her anger dissipated and she once again saw the confident Long Chen, the one who had somehow killed Huang Feiyang, defeated Feng Wutian, and killed the Great Priest of the Blood Saints.
“You’ve owed me from the moment you used me against Chu Yunxi. Even though you are my superior, you have no power against me.”
Long Chen’s tone was irresistible.
At this time, someone delivered the Demonic Blood Essence to them.
Liu Lan etched Long Chen’s words into her heart and asked him coldly, “Do you have sixty thousand divine jades?”
