Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2724: Chapter 2727: You Really Are Willing

Canghai Auction House.

At this moment, the Canghai Auction House was bustling with voices, exceptionally lively!

"Next up is the last item of the day!"

On the auction platform, Pang Guang, his face glowing red, spoke loudly: "This item is also a Dao Instrument!"

"No way, another Dao Instrument!?"

"Isn’t this four Dao Instruments already? Pang Guang has spent a fortune for the inheritance competition!"

"Having four Dao Instruments in one go is rare even at an auction hosted by the Canghai Trade Alliance!"

As Pang Guang spoke, the originally quiet crowd in the auction hall started shouting again.

After leaving the Canglan Realm, Jiang Chen arrived at the Canghai Auction House, accompanied by Cheng Huang’er and Yuan Chong. Jian Wuheng returned to the place where he stayed on Changlin Academy’s street.

Hu Yiqiu was left in the Canglan Realm; he was probably being interrogated by Si Luan’er, trying various excuses to evade questions, cursing Jiang Chen for being thoughtless and not taking him along.

Upon entering the auction venue, the noise reached them. Jiang Chen raised his head to glance at the auction platform, smiled lightly, and swept his gaze across the first-floor hall.

The hall was crowded, packed to the brim, and the doors of the individual rooms on the second floor all indicated occupancy, except for Room One, which was left vacant specifically for the Royal Family.

Some forces that didn’t attend the auction in the previous days made their appearances today.

"Mr Jiang?"

A shout of surprise echoed. Jiang Chen and his companions turned to see Meng Tingchuan coming over at the stairway.

"Greetings, Little Princess!"

Meng Tingchuan cupped his hands towards Cheng Huang’er, and Jiang Chen’s group also greeted with cupped hands.

"I thought you wouldn’t come today!"

Meng Tingchuan smiled broadly at Jiang Chen: "It’s truly thanks to Mr Jiang. If not for the items you helped provide, today’s auction wouldn’t have been much better than the previous days."

"Great Elder, you’re too kind!"

Jiang Chen smiled softly as he spoke.

"Let me take you up; the Royal Family’s room is still vacant!"

Meng Tingchuan gestured upstairs with his hand.

Jiang Chen turned to Cheng Huang’er, who nodded lightly.

The group proceeded upstairs together and reached Room One.

"Elder Meng, thank you so much for providing the Dao Seed today; here’s a small token, please don’t refuse!"

Upon entering the room, Cheng Huang’er took out the Space Ring given by Si Wenhao and handed it to Meng Tingchuan.

Meng Tingchuan glanced at Jiang Chen without being unnecessarily polite, accepting the Space Ring.

"Middle-grade Dao Instrument!?"

"What? It turns out to be a middle-grade Dao Instrument!?"

"Someone actually put a middle-grade Dao Instrument up for auction here? How is that possible!"

Suddenly, a cry of shock sounded, and the venue seemed to explode like a keg, boiling over.

Jiang Chen turned to glance outside, smiling gently as he spoke: "Pang Guang’s competition is likely secure, right?"

"It’s secure!"

Meng Tingchuan chuckled: "Mr Jiang, it’s truly Pang Guang’s blessing to have a friend like you!"

"He has helped me a lot too!"

Jiang Chen smiled softly.

Cheng Huang’er glanced at Jiang Chen, her eyes glimmering with a hint of admiration.

Her impression of Jiang Chen had always been that he was mature and steady, decisive against enemies, loyal to friends. Yet, she hadn’t anticipated he would be loyal to such an extent.

A middle-grade Dao Instrument—she herself couldn’t easily present one. While primary-grade Dao Instruments weren’t uncommon to her, middle-grade ones she had only seen a few times. These were truly high-end Spiritual Treasures!

The group sat down, chatting leisurely in the room while waiting for the auction to conclude.

This visit wasn’t just to watch the auction but also involved Pang Guang gathering some items. However, Jiang Chen didn’t want the trouble he had with Pang Lie afterward, and so planned to wait until after this auction to retrieve the Dao Source Beads before discussing the items he needed.

"Five million Dao Source Beads!"

"Six million Dao Source Beads!"

...

"Ten million Dao Source Beads!"

Exclamations rang out in the auction venue, with some people shouting desperately, and even some Saints joining the competition personally.

Sudden profound ripples occasionally erupted in the venue due to Saints failing to suppress their emotions, yet no one paid any mind. This was the auction house headquarters of the Canghai Trade Alliance, in Canglan City, and no one needed to fear being attacked here.

With the intense bidding, the price for the middle-grade Dao Instrument reached a frightening level—fifty million Dao Source Beads, a number to make even Saint Monarch Strong Ones envious.

At the same time, it brought a wide smile to Pang Guang’s face on the auction platform!

"It seems Pang Guang has secured victory for the first specialized auction!"

Listening to the hammer strike sounds from outside, Yuan Chong laughed as he spoke.

"Middle-grade Dao Instruments—since the establishment of the Canghai Trade Alliance thousands of years ago, they have sold less than ten. Having one appear in an inheritance competition is unprecedented!"

Cheng Huang’er expressed admiration as she turned to Jiang Chen: "You are truly generous!"

"Why wouldn’t I be? I can’t use it; my master has one, my grandmaster has one, my junior master’s power is still low, and though some teachers at Changlin Academy have various attributes, they mainly cultivate the Sword Dao; these Dao Instruments aren’t swords. Using other Dao Instruments would prevent proper insights for them."

Jiang Chen smiled softly: "Hence, selling it is best, and lacking sufficient mastery would lower one’s control by using Spiritual Treasures beyond one’s power—bad for cultivation."

"If everyone understood this, the combat power of cultivators on the continent might rise a notch."

Cheng Huang’er remarked quietly: "Many rely too much on the power of Spiritual Treasures nowadays."

"Spiritual Treasures are good, but full control of one’s own strength is needed to use them. This is something Brother Jiang manages well!"

Yuan Chong chuckled as he looked at Jiang Chen: "You hardly use Spiritual Treasures unless you need to go all out in fights, right?"

"Spiritual Treasures are mere aids; intrinsic strength is fundamental."

Jiang Chen spoke softly: "Without them, one would be restrained in battles, but relying entirely on them isn’t good either; it’s up to individual balance!"

"Everyone, today’s auction has ended. Tomorrow, I hope you all anticipate the final auction item. I’ll tell you now!"

Suddenly, a shout echoed, making those preparing to leave turn around and look.

Jiang Chen and his companions paused briefly, looking outside.

In the venue.

Pang Lie suddenly ascended the auction platform, glanced at the sulking Pang Guang, and revealed a mocking smile.

At this sight, Jiang Chen squinted slightly, remembering Pang Lie’s reaction to hearing Dao Instruments would be auctioned today in the royal city. It stirred a twinge of foreboding, prompting him to leave the room.
