Chapter 456 - Fate My Ass!

“We will now be auctioning off the core of a demonic beast!” The pretty lady on the stage smiled as a red plate was pushed to her side. Under the glittering light, the red plate covered in red cloth looked very alluring, and it exuded a sense of enigma and suspense for the customers.

The girl gestured at the plate with her slender fingers. “Everyone, take a guess at what this is. I’m sure that most of you have sensed the dense fire energy exuding from it. This is indeed the core of a demonic beast with the fire attribute.”

She then carefully lifted the red cloth, revealing a red demonic core that was still on fire. A beast’s illusion was roaring inside the core. It appeared to be a very powerful and fearsome beast.

“I’m sure most of you have guessed what it is. This is a Category Three Heaven-tier Flaming Lion’s demonic core! This is an excellent demonic core for Beast Warriors. If you have enough Heavenly Passage Pills, it could help you advance into the Second Passage Stage from the first! Of course, I suggest that you refine it over time, or you might get burned! I won’t say any more, so let’s get the bidding started! The initial price is fifty Heavenly Passage Pills!”

Once she finished announcing that, everyone started bidding and increasing the price. Fifty-one soon became eighty. At the same time, Jiang Cheng saw that Long Chen was interested in the demonic core. “Brother Yang, do you want it? I recall that you are a Beast Warrior, so it should be useful for you. I will buy it for you if you are interested.”

When he said that, he took secret glances at Xiaolang.

“I will be grateful if you do, Brother Jiang.”

“No worries. It’s normal for you to not have any Heavenly Passage Pills since it’s your first time here. Let me get it for you.”

The price was already at a hundred pills, and no one was bidding anymore. That was the regular price of a Category Three Heaven-tier demonic core.

Just then, Jiang Cheng shouted from the booth, “One hundred and twenty Heavenly Passage Pills.”

The girl below was delighted because that was above the market price! Since no one else bidded further, she announced that the demonic core belonged to Jiang Cheng.

The auction continued, and soon, someone sent the demonic core to Jiang Cheng. He then gave it to Long Chen, who was more than happy to accept it.

“I hope it helps you grow stronger, Brother Yang.” Jiang Cheng smiled. Long Chen wasn’t sure why he was so happy.

“Big Brother, what should we do?”

“Don’t worry. He’s only at the Third Passage Stage, so I’m stronger than him. Since he’s underestimating us, let’s just wait and see what happens to him. I might be able to obtain some Heavenly Passage Pills from him instead!” Long Chen chuckled.

Jiang Cheng was currently bidding for the collar. The Soul Binder was indeed a rare treasure. The price soon climbed up to ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills.

He’s cunning, but it seems that he comes from a rich family. He’s completely unphased by the idea of spending ten thousand Heavenly Passage Pills. Long Chen was secretly surprised because he himself only had seventy pills. It wasn’t even enough for him to reach the Second Passage Stage once he entered the Heavenly Passage Realm in the future.

The bidding for the Soul Binder was nearing its end as very few people were still placing bids, but Jiang Cheng was the richest man around. He got impatient and immediately raised the price to fifteen thousand pills. Everyone else remained silent.

Jiang Cheng successfully obtained the Soul Binder.

He happily put it away once the auction was over and patted Long Chen’s shoulder. “Brother Yang, the auction has finally ended. Sorry for taking up your time.”

“Brother Jiang, you are too humble. You bought me the demonic core, so it was worth the wait. I, Long Chen, don’t know how to repay you!”

“Long Chen?” Jiang Cheng was taken aback because his name had changed ...

“Long Chen? Brother Jiang, is something wrong?” Long Chen was too used to saying his own name, so he had accidentally blurted it out.

“Oh ... Uh ... It’s nothing, then. Since the auction is over, let’s go get your identity token!” Jiang Cheng just brushed it off, assuming he had misheard.

“Thank you, Brother Jiang. Once I enter the Ancient Demon Domain and become successful, I will repay you for your help today!”

“No worries. Fate is what brought us together.”

Fate my ass! Long Chen silently cursed in his heart.
