“Thunder Flame Crystals?”
Liu Lan’s cherry lips opened slightly in her surprise.
“How did the Daybreak Merchants Union get them? Thunder Flame Crystals are extremely rare in the Yuanling region. They probably obtained them through other means.”
Long Chen never expected the Daybreak Merchants Union to auction off the Thunder Flame Crystals.
He had gathered forty or so crystals from Zhao Tianfang’s pockets. It was evident that they probably had quite a number of them.
No matter how powerful a cultivator was, a hundred Thunder Flame Crystals were more than enough. However, if one could be in possession of great amounts, the strength of an organisation would rise greatly, and there would naturally be multiple benefits.
Lingxi did mention that the Daybreak Merchants Union likely had a mine of Thunder Flame Crystals.
If that was truly the case, the strength of the Daybreak Merchants Union now was probably even more formidable, and thus put pressure on the Lingwu Family and Beast Spirit Palace. If there really was a mine, the Lingwu Family would definitely covet it.
“There are a total of ten Thunder Flame Crystals. If all ten are fused with, one will become a Thunder Flame cultivator and form the Thunder Flame Physique. That would be equivalent to a profound middle-grade body-tempering battle technique or even more than that. Everyone should understand the effects. I won’t say more at this point. The starting price of these ten crystals is 20 000 deity jades! Each increase in price cannot be less than a thousand deity jades!”
Ever since the Thunder Flame Crystals appeared, all the guests had begun chattering. Thunder Flame Crystals may not be any top-rated treasure, but it was still a rarity.
The Thunder Flame Crystals caused a burning desire amongst the audience.
“Long Chen, what do you think of these crystals?”
Liu Lan turned her head and glanced at Long Chen through her lashes.
From her perspective, Long Chen was a beast cultivator. If he cultivated in another profound middle-grade body-tempering battle technique, his battle might would definitely increase in this time and give him better chances in the upcoming inner faction selection.
Thunder Flame Crystals differed from other tempering battle techniques. Others required time to hammer the technique in, but this just required fusion.
If she knew that Long Chen had already fused with 30 crystals, her expression would be marvellous.
Long Chen had always been in need of Thunder Flame Crystals. His goal was to reach level 2, or even level 3 of the Thunder Flame Physique.
However, the issue now was that with the contribution points Long Chen had on hand, he could only exchange for 4000 deity jades. The wealth he had on him was negligible. Just the starting price alone for these ten Thunder Flame Crystals far exceeded 4000.
Long Chen had had around fifty Thunder Flame Crystals, which was equal to more than a hundred thousand deity jades.
Unexpectedly, the items that Lingxi had spent two Spirit Recovery Fruits to rob was so valuable. He had used up almost a hundred thousand deity jades so easily, and his heart was bleeding at the mere thought of it.
Long Chen was too poor to purchase the crystals, which was why he did not bother replying.
Liu Lan had now hit a snag, but she did not get mad. The price was already increasing outside, and without hesitation, she yelled a price based on what was already being shouted.
“35 000 deity jades.”
Her cold voice resounded in the s.p.a.cious square.
The number of deity jades had only reached 31 000 deity jades till then, and Liu Lan had shouted 35 000 all of a sudden. n.o.body tried to increase the price.
Ten Thunder Flame Crystals were bought with 35 000 deity jades, which was a rather unreasonable price. Regular body-tempering battle techniques usually cost 100 000 deity jades, and they also lacked the risks that came with Thunder Flame Crystals.
Liu Lan got the crystals and then sent a smile Long Chen’s way, her beam provocative.
“I’m going to say this upfront. This is something you wanted to buy, so don’t blame it on me.”
When it came to this woman, she was rather irresistible, but Long Chen knew she was similar to a rose. While the aroma was strong and it was beautiful, attracting men to come closer, they might get p.r.i.c.ked by her thorns if they stood too close.
While Long Chen had wanted the Thunder Flame Crystals, he wanted to avoid this situation.
“Did you think I was begging for your forgiveness?”
Seeing Long Chen so standoffish with her, Liu Lan was slightly infuriated. She got serious and, with a grim tone, spoke, “I’m here to get you things because I’m afraid you’ll lose your life to Chu Yunxi in the inner faction selection. There isn’t much time till the first of the eleventh month. If you’re sulking and won’t accept what I’ve gotten you, then you’re an idiot. An incredible idiot.”
It was true that Long Chen was not very confident regarding the inner faction selection.
“I’ll take the Thunder Flame Crystals. I’ll return you the 35 000 deity jades after the auction is over.”
