Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2738: Chapter 2741: The Fourth Refinement

"Jiang Chen, what do you intend to do?"

Pang Lie watched Jiang Chen nervously. If the auction of the Void Transmission Jade Talisman was disrupted by Jiang Chen, he truly could not bear the consequences.

Jiang Chen glanced at Pang Lie, ignoring him.

Facing Room Three, he clasped his hands in a humble gesture and said somewhat helplessly, "Elder Liu, I am staying at the Canghai Inn and sometimes reside temporarily at the Changlin Academy. If I have the honor to discuss the Alchemy Dao with Elder Liu, I would trouble you to send someone to take me into the royal city. I can’t enter the royal city myself now."

"Haha! Mr. Jiang can collect the Dan Pavilion Elder Jade Token when you visit the Dan Pavilion!"

A hearty laugh rang out. An elderly man with white hair and a benevolent face, dressed in a white robe, emerged from Room Three.

"Greetings, Elder Liu."

Jiang Chen and Pang Guang both clasped their hands in salute.

"No need to be formal, Mr. Jiang. If you are free tomorrow, I will have someone go to the Canghai Inn to fetch you."

Liu Changshan smiled lightly and waved his hand.

"Well, this..."

Jiang Chen hesitated, apologetically said, "Elder Liu, is the day after tomorrow possible? I plan to refine Long Yan today, and this cultivation... if I finish by tomorrow, then tomorrow. If not, then..."

"No matter, I will have someone wait at the inn tomorrow. Mr. Jiang, you can come whenever you finish your retreat!"

Liu Changshan waved his hand once again.

"Alright! Then I’ll take my leave for now!"

Jiang Chen bowed again to Liu Changshan.

"Leaving?!"

"What do you mean? He’s leaving?"

"He’s not joining the auction?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment.

"Mr. Jiang, are you leaving? You’re not participating in the auction for the last item?"

Liu Changshan was also momentarily stunned.

Jiang Chen replied amusingly, "Elder Liu, don’t let certain people mislead you. I’m not someone who stuffs everything into my own pocket. I’m not going to the void for battle; why would I need that? I’m still far from breaking through to the Saint Realm, no need to prepare now!"

Liu Changshan suddenly understood, chuckling lightly, "Indeed, I was misled, forgetting that even the best spiritual objects are useless if not utilized!"

"Oh my, he never intended to bid at all!"

"Haha! Pang Lie, the fool, worriedly asking him!"

"What conflict? Jiang Chen doesn’t seem to regard him at all!"

"He is just delusional, comparing himself to Jiang Chen. Who does he think he is!"

Several figures ridiculed Pang Lie without mercy, and in comparison, Pang Lie indeed looked like a clown.

Hearing the contemptuous voices, anger burned in Pang Lie’s heart; he dared not shout at the crowd but roared at Jiang Chen, "Jiang Chen, do you dare humiliate me?"

"Huh?"

Jiang Chen looked at Pang Lie in bewilderment, teasingly said, "I’m not bidding for the final item, and that’s humiliating you? You mean I have to participate in the auction?"

Buzz!

As Jiang Chen’s voice fell, the atmosphere in several rooms on the second floor fluctuated slightly. Although they didn’t know exactly how much Jiang Chen earned yesterday, they could estimate. If he participated in the auction, they would have no chance.

"Mr. Jiang, don’t bother with someone like that!"

"Exactly, Mr. Jiang, this person isn’t worth your trouble!"

"Pang Lie, stop messing around here! Not bidding is humiliating you? Are you deliberately causing trouble for Mr. Jiang?"

"Using such lousy excuses to trouble Mr. Jiang, are you even qualified to run for the heir of the Canghai Trade Alliance? If you controlled the alliance, it’d be doomed!"

Voices that seemed slightly tense emerged from the rooms on the second floor.

Pang Lie froze, suddenly feeling tremendously wronged, as though the whole world had turned against him.

Jiang Chen too was momentarily dumbfounded, staring blankly at the rooms that had spoken, and looked at Pang Guang blankly, "What’s this?"

"Haha, do you not know how many Dao Source Beads you obtained yesterday? Does any force easily part with such a quantity? If you joined the auction..."

Pang Guang stifled a laugh and spoke softly.

Beside him, Liu Changshan also displayed a surprised expression; among those who spoke earlier, he recognized several, and to some, he would have to bow in greeting.

Yet now, they opened their mouths for Jiang Chen, even threatening Pang Lie’s candidacy as heir. This truly was...

Liu Changshan didn’t know what to say.

Upon hearing, Jiang Chen paused, shook his head in amusement, turned and clasped his hands towards the rooms that had spoken:

"Thank you, seniors, for speaking on my behalf, preventing any false accusations against me. As for the last auction item, I have no interest in bidding, even if it seems like insulting him, let it be. He’s not someone worthy of respect. I heed the advice of seniors, won’t argue with him, and take my leave!"

"Farewell, Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang, you’re too polite!"

"Right, don’t lower yourself to his level!"

Several voices echoed, carrying an undertone of relief.

The crowd in the hall compared the poised Jiang Chen on the second floor to Pang Lie on the auction stage, whose expression constantly shifted, and immediately felt that Pang Lie was utterly unworthy of even carrying Jiang Chen’s shoes!

Jiang Chen clasped his hands again, bid farewell to the crowd in the hall, then turned and walked towards the stairs after bowing once more to Liu Changshan.

...

Canghai Inn.

This time, Jiang Chen did not go to the residence at Changlin Academy but instead went to the Canghai Inn, where every room was protected by formations. Moreover, Liu Changshan mentioned that someone would come here to fetch him, so there was no need to run to the academy’s residence.

Wow!

Back in his room, Jiang Chen activated the room’s protective formation, and a brilliant radiance enveloped the entire room. The glow faintly revealed through the door, alerting anyone passing by outside to the formation fluctuations, indicating the occupant was in cultivation.

Roaring!

Under the formation’s cover, a Heaven and Earth Furnace manifested in the room, enveloping Jiang Chen.

"For the fourth refining of the Heaven and Earth Furnace, let’s use you!"

Jiang Chen grinned, a dragon-shaped flame appeared in his hand—the source Long Yan he had acquired at the auction!

"The origin of Dao of Wind..."

Jiang Chen murmured softly, his eyes suddenly brightened.

Wow!

A green Great Dao Wheel of Light emerged, encircling Jiang Chen as it gently revolved.

With a solemn gaze, Jiang Chen manifested an illusory Dragon Qi, and injected it into the Long Yan.

Roar!

A resonant dragon roar echoed, as a blue Divine Dragon Phantom emerged from the center of the flame, following the Dragon Qi’s guidance outward, with no resistance, much like a father leading a son by the hand out the door.
