Dragon-Marked War God

“Little Chen…”

Wu Ningzhu was somewhat shocked. A single Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass cost over a hundred Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones. Even one was already enough to astonish her.

“Don’t worry, what’s this little bit of money? As long as it can heal your soul injury, so what if I have to spend every last one of my Divine Origin Stones?”

Jiang Chen smiled gently. To him, Divine Origin Stones were nothing more than worldly possessions. Compared to Wu Ningzhu, they weren’t worth a penny.

“Young master, are you serious?”

The old manager asked solemnly.

“Do I look like I’m joking?”

Jiang Chen said.

“Even our Lingying Market only has thirty Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass in stock. Do you really want to buy all of them, young master? That would cost at least three thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones.”

The old manager said again.

“Fine, deal. Three thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones, right?”

Jiang Chen asked.

“I want this Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass.”

A young man in yellow robes with a loud, clear voice walked over slowly. He held a folding fan in his hand and wore the air of a refined scholar. His face was as smooth as jade and his eyes were sharp. He could be called quite dashing.

“It’s Young Master Bi! Haha, what brings Young Master Bi here in such high spirits? Your visit to our Lingying Market truly brings honor to our humble place.”

The old manager’s eyes lit up and he said with a broad smile.

“But… there is still a rule of first come, first served. This young master has been waiting for a long time.”

Although the old manager was very flattering toward the young man in yellow, in the end, he did not ruin the reputation of Lingying Market.

Jiang Chen glanced at the young man in yellow and said coldly,

“Everything goes by first come, first served. If you want this Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass, forget it.”

“Haha, the Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass is indeed a good thing. I also want to buy it as a gift for this lady. She is so graceful and elegant, with such extraordinary bearing, that my heart is truly stirred. I just heard that the lady’s soul is injured. I, Bi Jiagang, should naturally buy this Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass to heal the lady’s soul. I hope the lady won’t mind.”

Bi Jiagang was all smiles, and his eyes never left Wu Ningzhu. However, Wu Ningzhu was unmoved. Her expression didn’t change at all, and she just held Jiang Chen’s hand calmly.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, but the coldness at the corners of his mouth became more and more frightening.

“You still dare to flirt with my woman right in front of me? Heh, you really aren’t afraid of death.”

“Everyone loves beauty. Even if this lady met you first, can you stop me from liking her? That’s ridiculous. Four thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones. Old manager, you should know what to do now, right?”

Bi Jiagang said confidently.

Four thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones! That was a full thousand more than Jiang Chen. At this moment, the old manager was finally moved. Men die for wealth, as birds die for food. It had to be said that a difference of a thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones was simply too exaggerated. If he still wasn’t tempted by that, then the old manager really would be a fool.

“Five thousand!”

Jiang Chen said without batting an eye. At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded. Neither the old manager nor Bi Jiagang had expected Jiang Chen to be so bold as to raise the price by another thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones. It was simply insane. The old manager could barely contain himself. For the first time, he felt that he was about to be knocked down by money. A difference of two thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones, and as long as he sold this Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass, it would all be his.

Meanwhile, Wu Ningzhu and Yan Qingcheng had not expected Jiang Chen to be so persistent. Obviously, this Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass had to be very important for Wu Ningzhu.

The most important point was this: how could he let someone else give Wu Ningzhu the thing he had set his eyes on? That was Jiang Chen’s bottom line.

“Six thousand!”

Bi Jiagang said, holding his folding fan and shaking his head smugly. Six thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones. Only someone like him, the son of the lord of a boundary, could be so bold. By now, the old manager was completely dazed and had no idea what to do. Nobody would turn their back on money, especially when the price in Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones had already doubled.

“Seven thousand.”

Jiang Chen raised the price again. At this moment, Bi Jiagang was obviously starting to feel that he couldn’t keep up. The price had already risen to an astronomical figure. Although the Soul-Nurturing Lingzhi Grass was a top-grade spiritual herb, it simply wasn’t worth that much. The back and forth between Jiang Chen and Bi Jiagang had only ended up benefiting Lingying Market.

“You——”

Bi Jiagang’s face turned ugly. After all, spending seven or eight thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones just to win a smile from a beauty was really not worth it. Even he started to hesitate.

“Eight thousand!”

Bi Jiagang said through gritted teeth. If he wanted to show off, he absolutely could not hesitate. If he let the beauty look down on him, how could he continue to get close to her? He had to have this beauty!

“These two Origin Divine Tools should each be worth no less than five or six thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones. They’re yours.”

Jiang Chen said lightly, taking out two Origin Divine Tools and tossing them to the old manager. The old manager’s hands shook and he almost failed to catch them. These were Origin Divine Tools that weighed over a thousand jin! Even Bi Jiagang gasped. Was this guy a madman? He actually just threw out two Origin Divine Tools. Bi Jiagang had thought he was already awesome enough, but he never expected the other party to be so inhumanly rich!

Did Origin Divine Tools grow on trees? He had casually taken out two of them. Who on earth was this guy, and how could he be so capable? With such boundless extravagance, even Bi Jiagang found it hard to compete with him. After all, with money and Divine Origin Stones, one really could do whatever one wanted.

Bi Jiagang no longer had the courage to bid. If he bid again, it would have to be more than twelve thousand Supreme Grade Divine Origin Stones, which was simply more than he could afford. Even as the son of a boundary lord, he had to know his limits. If he didn’t have that much money and still tried to show off that much, the consequences would be more than he could bear. Lingying Market was very powerful. Even in Tianguang City, its status was extremely lofty, and even the City Lord’s Mansion had little power to restrain it. From that, one could tell that the force behind Lingying Market had to be extremely terrifying.

The old manager licked his dry lips and glanced at Bi Jiagang. Bi Jiagang’s face had turned extremely ugly. Failing to show off in front of a beauty was a very embarrassing thing, while Jiang Chen had obviously succeeded.

“Kid, you win this round!”

Bi Jiagang said through gritted teeth. This guy was way too rich. He had casually thrown out two Origin Divine Tools. He was far too extravagant; even Bi Jiagang couldn’t hope to match him.

“How could I let someone else give you what should have been yours?”

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, and Wu Ningzhu instantly melted into his embrace.

They nestled together affectionately. Jiang Chen held the two peerless beauties in his arms as if no one else were around, and Bi Jiagang was so angry that he was fuming!

This scene turned Bi Jiagang’s face livid. Two peerless beauties were both nestled in Jiang Chen’s arms. It was a complete waste of heaven’s gifts! Why didn’t he even have one, while this guy got to enjoy two great beauties? It enraged him. It was extremely unfair!
