Medic Martial Dragon King

”Ah, a ten-million-dollar Ancient Jade Talisman! It must be well preserved! Who knows, after a hundred and eighty years, it might appreciate to two million!”

Upon seeing Jiang Chen had paid the bill, Chen Jianlin once again loudly ridiculed him.

”Haha...”

”This Jade Talisman doesn’t have much room for appreciation!”

”Yeah, spending ten million on such a Jade Talisman, that’s a huge loss!”

”Hey, maybe the person just has money to burn, not caring about those millions!”

With Chen Jianlin leading the mockery, the people in the hall joined in with their scoffing, with Gong Yue and Li Hao being particularly enthusiastic.

Jiang Chen didn’t pay attention to the reactions of the people in the hall; as soon as he had paid the bill, he took the Jade Talisman in his hand.

”Buzz buzz buzz—”

Suddenly, Jiang Chen’s expression changed, and his Cultivation Technique began to operate on its own. The Jade Talisman instantly lit up, emitting a brilliant red radiance.

”What... What’s going on?”

”Why is the Jade Talisman glowing?”

”Could it be that it’s not just ordinary jade?”

The people in the hall exclaimed in shock.

Lin Bingrui’s eyes lit up in surprise as he looked at Jiang Chen. He suddenly understood why Jiang Chen had shown no interest in the other auction items but had paid so much attention to this Jade Talisman!

”This, this... Mr. Jiang, what’s happening?”

Lin Zhiyan, who was right beside him, was stunned by the sudden burst of breathtaking beauty from the Jade Stone, widening her eyes in disbelief as she looked at the Jade Talisman in Jiang Chen’s hands, her face filled with shock.

Chen Jianlin, Gong Yue, Li Hao, and others who had laughed at Jiang Chen were dumbfounded, their mouths agape wide enough to fit a duck egg, all of them standing there in a daze.

It was too beautiful!

It was as if it wasn’t an item of the mortal realm!

It was clearly a treasure!

”Ah... I know now!”

Suddenly, a loud cry rang out, and the crowd turned to look. An elderly man of around sixty was in shock as he stared at the Jade Talisman in Jiang Chen’s hand.

”It’s the antique collector, Old Liu!”

”It’s Old Liu, Old Liu, what is that Jade Talisman? Why is it glowing?”

”Old Liu, what is that thing?”

The people in the hall crowded around the old man with questions.

Jiang Chen also turned to look at the old man. He only felt from the Jade Talisman that there was something within it useful for his Cultivation Technique, but he truly did not know what it was.

”That’s not an ordinary jade carving, that’s a special type of Jade Marrow! It’s said that this kind of Jade Marrow is something many martial artists in the Flame Dragon Kingdom would chase after at a high price, releasing unusual radiance at certain times, and its value could be in the hundreds of millions!” Old Liu exclaimed as he looked at the Jade Talisman in Jiang Chen’s hands, voicing his amazement.

”What? Jade Marrow?!”

”Valued at hundreds of millions?!”

”This, this, this guy has such a good eye?”

”This guy made a fortune!”

”This is really like hitting the jackpot!”

”His eye for quality is too good, isn’t it? Even Old Liu could only recognize the Jade Marrow once the talisman glowed, but he saw it right away?”

The people in the hall exclaimed in shock, their faces filled with envy as they looked at Jiang Chen.

Upon recalling how they had all mocked Jiang Chen’s judgment just a moment ago, they were filled with embarrassment and remorse.

Meanwhile, Chen Jianlin’s face instantly darkened as he stared intently at the Jade Marrow in Jiang Chen’s hand.

My God, worth hundreds of millions! Had he known, he would have kept bidding just now! Instead, Jiang Chen managed to buy it for just ten million!

I’m ruined!

At this moment, Chen Jianlin’s heart was filled with such regret that he felt like spitting blood!

At the same time, he hated Jiang Chen to his core, not only had he not embarrassed himself, but he had also obtained a Jade Marrow of inestimable value. How could this guy be so lucky!

Gong Yue was so infuriated that she gnashed her teeth, wishing she could go up and strangle Jiang Chen herself.

Why was this guy able to handle everything so impressively, every time, everywhere? Randomly bidding on some worthless Jade Talisman, and it turns out to be Jade Marrow?

Just who was this guy? How could he become the center of attention wherever he went?

Was he really that incredible?!

”Good! Mr. Jiang, I am convinced, truly convinced! I didn’t expect Mr. Jiang to have such an exceptional eye! I had tried to convince you to give up earlier, and now I... feel so ashamed!” Lin Bingrui looked at Jiang Chen full of admiration, feeling embarrassed about his earlier attempt to dissuade him.

Lin Zhiyan had by now snapped out of her shock. She originally thought Jiang Chen was purely acting on impulse, but to think, it actually turned out to be a demonstration of his superior discernment – this was utterly inconceivable to her.

Superb medical skills, formidable martial prowess, and excellent judgement!

Was there anything he couldn’t do?

He was too amazing!

At that moment, Lin Zhiyan’s gaze at Jiang Chen changed, filled with the hazy adoration for the strong.

Jiang Chen himself was also surprised.

He really hadn’t expected that such a thing would turn out to be Jade Marrow, and beneficial to Martial Artists as well?

It seemed that there was indeed a connection between his own Cultivation Technique and the Martial Artists.

Thinking this, he subsequently ceased his Cultivation Technique, and the radiant light from the Jade Talisman disappeared at once.

He glanced at everyone in the hall, who were all staring intently at him; Jiang Chen frowned slightly, disliking this overwhelming attention. Tucking the Jade Talisman into his pocket, Jiang Chen said a few words to Lin Bingrui and stood up, heading towards the hall’s entrance.

”Zhi Yan, see Mr. Jiang out,” Lin Bingrui hastily arranged for Lin Zhiyan to accompany him.

The two walked down the corridor toward the back entrance, as the eyes of the people in the hall followed Jiang Chen’s movements.

”The auction hasn’t ended yet, isn’t it quite rude to leave like this?” A low voice filled with anger rang out as Chen Jianlin stepped out of his seat and blocked Jiang Chen’s path.

Originally thinking that he had played Jiang Chen for a fool, Chen Jianlin couldn’t suppress the rage in his heart any longer, staring at Jiang Chen with eyes brimming with resentment.

Lin Zhiyan’s eyes widened as she scolded sharply, ”Chen Jianlin, what do you think you’re doing?”

”Miss Lin, I am merely teaching him how to respect others,” Chen Jianlin glanced at Lin Zhiyan, then turned and coldly looked at Jiang Chen, ”Kid, go back and sit down nicely, and leave after the auction ends!”

Jiang Chen glanced at Chen Jianlin and without a word tried to step past him.

”Didn’t you hear what I said?” Chen Jianlin’s face darkened as he barked out and reached for Jiang Chen’s shoulder, secretly using considerable force to give Jiang Chen a lesson.

A glint of cold light flashed in Jiang Chen’s eyes, and the moment Chen Jianlin’s hand touched his shoulder, there was a heavy jolt.

”Ah!”

Thud!

Caught off guard, Chen Jianlin suddenly felt pain in his arm and his body went numb, his legs buckled, and he tumbled to the ground!

”What... what happened?”

”How did Chen Jianlin fall?”

”What did that Jiang Chen do?”

”I didn’t see him move! It seems like he just shrugged his shoulder?”

”Is he that skilled?”

The crowd in the hall exclaimed in astonishment, refusing to believe that Chen Jianlin had fallen on his own.

At this time, they realized that Jiang Chen’s earlier lack of response to Chen Jianlin’s provocation wasn’t due to fear, but disdain!

Disdain to engage with you!

This was the contempt of the strong for the weak!
