Medic Martial Dragon King

Chapter 2700: Chapter 2703: Who He Favors Is Not Yours to Decide (Special Bonus Chapter 1)

”That’s right. Initially, I wanted to intercept it, but that guy only had that one item worth mentioning. He wouldn’t agree no matter what, so I had no choice but to bid!”

Pang Guang nodded and then explained.

”It’s okay, I still feel quite confident about bidding now.”

Jiang Chen smiled gently, exclaiming, ”As expected of the continent’s number one trade alliance, they’ve gathered most of the hard-to-find spiritual objects and spirit grass in just one day!”

”Of course, there’s really not much my Canghai Alliance doesn’t have.”

Pang Guang raised his head with pride.

”A Saint Monarch Realm Nether Scale, three drops of essence blood from a Saint Monarch Realm Kylin, a Supreme Bone...”

Jiang Chen chuckled as he spoke.

”Stop! I was wrong! I exaggerated!”

Pang Guang hurriedly called to stop, complaining, ”Brother Jiang, can you be reasonable? A Nether Scale of the Dragon Clan in the Saint Monarch Realm, who dares to keep it? Not to mention the Saint Monarch Realm, try keeping a Unification Realm Dragon Clan Nether Scale, and the Dragon Clan will show up immediately. Even if the Dragon Island has moved who knows where, it doesn’t mean there are no dragons on the continent, just that they’re hard to find.”

”As for the Kylin, it’s a dominant force in the Monster Beast Continent, and the Supreme Bone... I’ll give you my bones instead.”

”Haha, why would I want your bones? I can’t even eat them! Let’s go, to the auction house.”

Jiang Chen laughed heartily, turned around, and walked toward the door, followed by Zhang Sanfeng and Pang Guang.

Canghai Trade Alliance Auction Venue.

The recent continuous auctions have been exceptionally lively.

The competition among the candidates for the heir of the Canghai Trade Alliance happens once every ten thousand years, and this moment is the prime time for cultivators on the continent to hunt for bargains.

These bargains aren’t just for those participating in the auction, but also for those bringing items for auction, as many items that are rarely seen at usual auctions might very well appear at this one.

Though the Canghai Trade Alliance is one of the four super forces on the continent and the strongest commercial consortium, not everyone will sell their unused treasures here, making it difficult to find items suitable for a Saint.

Because at the level of a Saint, most usable items are heavenly and earthly spiritual items, and those possessing such grade of spiritual items would not auction them but rather exchange them for other things.

On the Canglan Continent, there is a place dedicated to this kind of transaction, but very few below the Saint know about it!

Therefore, when such an opportunity arises, people from major forces on the continent flock here, eager to see whether a few genuinely good items will appear in this Trade Alliance heir candidate competition!

There are five people with candidate qualifications for the Canghai Trade Alliance, among whom Pang Guang and Pang Lie are the most likely to become the heirs.

The identities of the two are no secret on the continent. One is the nephew of the Alliance Hierarch and the son left by his brother at the age of 300, while the other is the Alliance Hierarch’s direct grandson.

Originally, Pang Lie should not have been able to compete with Pang Guang, but unfortunately, ten years ago, Pang Guang’s father, Pang Dahai, crossed the bottom line of the Trade Alliance because of something, resulting in him being punished and sent to Mingqian Realm for guard duty, which made Pang Guang’s resources not as substantial. During these ten years, relying on his grandfather, the Supreme Elder, Pang Lie gathered considerable support.

No one expected that within a year of Pang Guang’s return, he would turn the absolute disadvantage around!

This is something all major forces on the continent are well aware of, which is why they pay great attention to this auction. In the Elder Council’s voting, Pang Guang’s auction was scheduled the night before Pang Lie’s, which is a very unfavorable situation and might allow Pang Lie a turnaround in the final situation!

After all, having an extra day of preparation, he could gather spiritual items in a targeted manner!

This is very disadvantageous to Pang Guang, hence making the major forces highly anticipate Pang Guang’s auction, eager to see if he can seize the first prize in this auction competition with an overwhelming advantage.

As for the auctions of others, although major forces are also looking forward to them, their enthusiasm is significantly lower, as the other three can almost be declared losers before the competition even begins.

Thus, for tonight’s auction, members from the other three big forces among the four super forces did not show up, nor did people from extraordinary forces like the War King’s Palace or Slaughter King Pavilion!

”That’s the Zheng Royal Mansion’s private room, that’s the Yue Royal Mansion’s private room, that’s...”

Arriving at the auction venue, Pang Guang introduced the forces inside the second-floor private rooms while walking, without explaining those in the first-floor hall.

Following Pang Guang, Jiang Chen spotted several familiar forces, including from Elixir Divine City, Zhen Yuan City, and even a small team formed by a major force from the Abandoned Plains.

He even saw a few acquaintances in that small team but didn’t go over to greet them. Being targeted by Pang Lie now, going over might cause them trouble.

They walked to the door of the third number private room, where Pang Guang stopped.

”We’ll be here; the number one private room on the second floor is for the use of the young members of the Royal Family, and the second room is for revision personnel.”

Pang Guang explained in a low voice and pushed open the door to the private room and went inside.

”Yan Li, isn’t that your Array Master Jiang Chen? He seemed to see you but ignored you!”

In a corner of the first-floor hall, Lin Jiang, the second war general of Black Water Fortress, looked mockingly at Yan Li beside him, ”Your Wind Thunder Valley supported him so much, yet he thinks nothing of you once he’s out here. He does have support from Saint Monarch Strong Ones and a strong master, so it’s normal for him to look down on you.”

Yan Li’s expression changed slightly, looking a bit disgruntled, ”Mr Jiang isn’t that kind of person.”

Although he spoke this way, when Yan Li looked towards the third number private room on the second floor, a trace of disappointment flickered in his eyes.

”It’s normal; people from the Abandoned Plains aren’t welcomed, so pretending not to know us outside is indeed helpless. I also believe Mr Jiang isn’t that kind of person!”

Wang Han, the third war general of Magic Cloud Fortress, patted Yan Li’s shoulder in a comforting tone.

The gathering included seven major fortresses, each having a war general on the spot. While they constantly vied against one another on the Abandoned Plains, outside they unite, as they all belong to the type largely considered as wanted. Though they stay together, friction is inevitable, and they only unite during conflicts.

”Haha, is this self-consolation? Didn’t you see who he’s associating with? That’s Pang Guang, the popular candidate for the Canghai Trade Alliance heir. He’s climbed up the social ladder; do you think he still pays attention to you?”

Lin Jiang spoke mockingly.

”It’s not up to you to decide whom Young Master Jiang regards or disregards!”

A cold voice sounded beside them, causing Lin Jiang’s expression to change as he turned to look, his gaze sharpening instantly.
