Long Chen's expression changed too. If you're not selling, then why put it all out? Teasing people?
Seeing Long Chen's expression change, the old man hurriedly said, "Please don't be angry. When I say not to sell, I mean that unless absolutely necessary, I don't want to sell it." "
I don't understand," Long Chen said.
The old man said, "So, I want to exchange it for something I need. You can see that I am also a fire-element cultivator, and I know better than anyone the value of this Phoenix Marrow."
However, this treasure is not destined for me, and I cannot refine it. Therefore, I plan to exchange it for a treasure I can use.
Of course, if I really can't get it, I can only sell it. But even if I do, I'll save it for last, set the price—three thousand Saint King Pills. "
Three thousand pieces?" Why don't you go rob him? Long Chen jumped up instantly. Although he knew this person would ask for an outrageous amount, three thousand pills—wasn't that just ridiculous?
Long Chen's shout grew louder, drawing countless glances from the crowd, all looking over. They wanted to know what kind of treasure would dare to charge such a high price.
You have to understand, among the powerful figures present, having three hundred Saint King Pills in their pockets is already considered wealthy; most people only have a few dozen Saint King pills on them.
The shopkeeper saw everyone else looking over and felt a bit embarrassed. He hurriedly said to Long Chen, "I know it's not worth that much, but I've already pinned everything on it whether it can advance to the Three Meridians Heavenly Saint in the future."
So, three thousand is clearly inflated, but I'm just trying to buy myself more time to see if I can get something I want. I absolutely have no intention of messing with you. The
old man saw Long Chen's gloomy expression and thought he was playing tricks. He hurriedly explained the issue. He also saw that Feng You was the most suitable for this piece of Phoenix Marrow and knew they sincerely wanted to buy it, but he was truly reluctant to make a purchase.
He wanted to offer a price first to make the other party give up, and then, when the trade event closed, if he still couldn't find a suitable item, he could negotiate with Long Chen.
Hearing the old man's explanation, and although he was shrewd, his words were fairly honest, Long Chen no longer got angry. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked at the old man:
"Your flame... Hmm? It is also wood that generates fire. The
so-called 'wood generates fire' means that someone has two types of energy: one is wood, the other is fire. In fact, people who possess both energies are not uncommon.
But for most people, the wood element is a nourishing wood. The wood energy of wood-element powerhouses is only suitable for healing and assisting others. Just like the medical warriors in the Dragonblood Legion, their wood element cannot merge with the power of fire. Forcing it would either burn the wood power away or extinguish the fire with wood.
Another type of wood-type energy can merge with flames, like blazing fire, complementing each other. Such a powerhouse has fire as the main cultivator and wood as a secondary cultivator. Their primordial power is several times thicker than that of ordinary fire cultivators, making their combat power much stronger and more enduring.
"Yes, yes, yes, I just want to trade for treasures in this area." The old man hurriedly said.
"Whoosh!"
Long Chen grabbed at the air with his large hand, and a flaming staff appeared. This flaming staff was not the one Long Chen had used before, but a level-three Wood Heart.
"Do you like this thing?" Long Chen asked.
"This... Fusang...
The old man was overwhelmed with emotion. When he uttered the words 'Fusang,' he quickly covered his mouth, his face full of excitement, yet he was desperately suppressing it.
Long Chen said directly, "You and I are both smart people. Don't use those meaningless tricks. I don't like bargaining or nitpicking. One for one, success or failure depends on your decision." "
I ... Can I take a look? The old man said.
"Whoosh."
Without another word, Long Chen tossed the staff to him. The third-level Wood Heart was just the heart of the branch on the ancient Fusang tree's trunk. Taking it off had no effect on the ancient Fusang tree.
This third-level Wood Heart was nothing to Long Chen, but to outsiders, it was absolutely a supreme treasure. After all, even within the entire Golden Crow clan, no one could afford it, which shows just how precious it was.
"Alright, take this Phoenix Marrow with you."
After carefully examining it and confirming it was correct, the old man immediately put Mu Xin away, his face full of excitement impossible to hide.
Long Chen nodded, handed the Phoenix Marrow to Feng You, and reminded the old man, "You'd better hide the item well and don't let those crows see it." "
Thank you for the reminder!" The old man said gratefully, but in truth, he knew he had gained a huge advantage.
The reason he tried to appear calm before was because he thought that if he bargained with Long Chen, he could eventually compensate him with less of what he needed.
He could tell that Long Chen was also extremely shrewd and not easy to deal with. But he hadn't expected Long Chen to be so generous, directly exchanging one for one. Now that he had reminded him to be careful of the Golden Crow clan, he felt deeply grateful but also a bit embarrassed. He generously let Bai Yingxue and Hu Xiaoyu pick any item as a gift in his shop, free of charge.
Long Chen wanted to refuse, but unexpectedly, the old man was extremely stubborn, insisting they choose one thing. With no other choice, they picked two pretty little items, and only then did the old man let them go.
Long Chen secretly admired this old man for his skill. He knew they didn't like to take advantage but insisted on making them do it. This was a way to win favors.
With this groundwork, there would be more opportunities in the future to build ties with the White Dragon clan. Seeing that Long Chen carried the Sunfire and could produce a level-three Wood Heart, he was definitely no ordinary person. He decided to lay a solid foundation first and definitely not lose out.
After thanking the old man, Long Chen left with the three of them. After walking a certain distance, Feng You was so excited she could no longer speak. The phoenix blood in her body had already sensed the phoenix marrow from afar, beginning to communicate.
After communicating, she discovered that the owner of the Phoenix Marrow had previously been a Six Meridian Heavenly Saint being, and after nirvana, had sealed all her divine abilities within the Phoenix Marrow.
The old man had tried countless times to refine it, but the will of the Phoenix Marrow was unextinguished. He could never achieve his wish, nor could he use force, or else he would destroy the Phoenix Marrow. Now, it had truly found its master.
Thinking of the treasure left behind by the Six Veins Heavenly Saint, Feng You was so moved she wanted to cry. After refining this Phoenix Marrow, she would no longer be the Feng You she once was. Everything she lost would surely be reclaimed.
"Calm, calm," Long Chen reassured with a smile.
"Thank you,"
Feng You tried her best to calm herself down, but those three simple words still choked up. To her, Feng Sui was a treasure that could defy fate and change fate.
"Become stronger. If anyone bullies me in the future, help me spank their butts!" Long Chen said with a smile.
With just one sentence, Long Chen made Feng You break into a smile. Long Chen was so powerful—when would he ever need her to step forward? But Long Chen's words filled Feng You's heart with warmth.
"Are you looking for death?"
Just as Long Chen and Feng You were joking, a sudden angry roar came from ahead. Long Chen was stunned:
"Wow, it sounds like that idiot's voice from Minglong Wushang. Let's go, let's go see the commotion.""
