Chapter 5082 Dragon Crystal Phoenix Marrow
Long Chen now had five thousand Sage King Pills in his pocket, equivalent to five primal chaos amethysts or fifty million top-grade primal chaos spirit stones. He instantly felt like he had become rich overnight.
From all the people Long Chen knew, Mo Nian would have to be the wealthiest. However, even Mo Nian only possessed a single primal chaos amethyst back then.
Primal chaos amethysts were essential treasures for Earth Saints aspiring to become Heaven Saints. They contained a trace of Grandmist violet qi that made their advancement safe, quick, and painless.
The Grandmist violet qi was also extremely helpful for Heaven Saints, capable of aiding them in condensing a heaven vein. Thus, the primal chaos amethysts were priceless treasures.
The medicinal pills in Long Chen’s hand could be exchanged for primal chaos amethysts at any time. Similarly, someone with primal chaos amethysts could exchange them for medicinal pills whenever needed. With the resounding reputation of Brahma Pill Valley, everyone could trade freely.
Long Chen knew that once these exchanges were done, the majority of primal chaos amethysts would flow into the Brahma Pill Valley’s hands. Consequently, Brahma Pill Valley’s medicinal pills would circulate in large numbers throughout the entire world. Having a monopoly was really the easiest way of making money.
Bai Yingxue, Feng You, and Hu Xiaoyu didn’t know what had happened to Long Chen. Before this, he seemed rather depressed, but now there was an extra spring in his step, a kind of swagger.
With money in his pocket, Long Chen started browsing the vendor stands. As soon as they reached the first one, Bai Yingxue’s expression changed.
The vendor had over ten dragon crystals on display. They came from the crystal core in a dragon’s head. While the majority of the dragon race’s bloodline power was concentrated in their reverse scale, their divine abilities were hidden within their dragon cores.
Thus, dragon cores were sacred inheritance items of the dragon race. If experts within the dragon race died, their dragon cores would be immediately preserved and brought back home
Furthermore, when the dragon race fought their enemies, they usually didn’t touch the latter’s corpses, especially not when they fought other dragons. Desecrating other dragons’ bodies was a taboo.
As a result, seeing these dragon cores, Bai Yingxue almost exploded. Long Chen observed them. As the fluctuations weren’t particularly strong and they weren’t from the white dragon race, he dragged her away.
No wonder there were so many experts of Pill Valley standing guard here. To sell dragon cores in front of the dragon race was a bold move. It would be amazing if they didn’t start fighting here.
However, from another angle, it also couldn’t be blamed on the vendors, who weren’t members of the dragon race. The dragon cores looked ancient, not recently killed, so the vendors had likely only happened to find them. Taking them out to trade for something useful wasn’t wrong.
Although that logic was reasonable, it was hard to understand how painful it was without experiencing it personally. Since none of those cores belonged to the white dragon race, Bai Yingxue let herself be dragged away.
However, quite a few dragon experts were glaring at the seller, haggling with him furiously. They were clearly attempting to buy back the dragon core of their race.
For the seller to dare take the dragon cores out, he naturally wasn’t afraid of the dragon experts. He directly quoted an immense price, making the situation extremely tense. Even the Brahma Pill Valley’s experts were getting wary and circling the stall.
“Oh?”
Long Chen led the three of them away from that tense area. When they passed by another booth, Feng You quivered slightly.
“Phoenix marrow!” she shouted.
Long Chen saw a fist-sized clump of red amber on the stall and instantly recognized it as the legendary phoenix marrow.
Phoenix marrow was the bone marrow of a phoenix race expert, though that description wasn’t entirely accurate. The phoenix marrow that actually circulated resulted from a phoenix’s failed attempts to reincarnate. Their life energy then condensed into their marrow, and after enduring the burning of nirvanic fire, it formed this phoenix marrow crystal.
Typically, phoenix marrow would be burned to nothing by the nirvanic fire. Only powerful members of the phoenix race could preserve their phoenix marrow. However, this was also somewhat contradictory. If they were so powerful, how could they fail at their nirvanic rebirth? In reality, each rebirth was one part power and one part luck.
Thus, phoenix marrow was even rarer than a dragon crystal. Every dragon expert would leave behind a dragon crystal after death, but every piece of phoenix marrow represented the fall of a powerful phoenix expert. This phoenix marrow was the essence of their life.
This particular piece of phoenix marrow was surrounded by swirling flame runes, its amber color indicating its top-grade quality. Based on its size and appearance, it was among the finest of the finest.
Long Chen initially planned to have Feng You and the others feign indifference and keep walking while he tried to scam a good price out of the seller. However, the seller was sharp and had taken note of Feng You’s expression. Realizing it would be difficult to deceive the seller, Long Chen approached the stall directly.
There were dozens of people running this stall, and they were all two-vein Heaven Saints. Long Chen went straight up to the one whose aura was strongest and seemed to be the boss.
“Senior, your piece of phoenix marrow is amazing. Can I hold it for a moment?” asked Long Chen.
“Young friend’s eyes are sharp. Based on your status as someone from the white dragon race, how could I not trust you? Please go ahead and take a look,” said the elder, looking from Long Chen to Feng You and smiling slightly.
Long Chen carefully picked up the phoenix marrow. As he probed it with a hint of flame energy, it blazed with light and flames. A ferocious aura surged from it, as if trying to escape Long Chen’s grasp.
In response, Long Chen immediately released his own flame energy to suppress the erupting power, ensuring it didn’t spread or affect anyone around.
Feng You trembled as she watched the phoenix marrow react. She felt a powerful, almost irresistible call emanating from it. This wasn’t just a matter of immense power; the marrow contained the will of a mighty phoenix expert, and she thirsted for it.
She tried to calm down so they wouldn’t get ripped off, but it was impossible. Flames surged uncontrollably around her, and even her phoenix blood seemed to ignite.
The shopkeeper’s expression changed when the phoenix marrow reacted like this. Staring at Long Chen in disbelief, he said, “What pure Sun Flame.”
Long Chen hadn’t anticipated that the elder would also be proficient in flames. The elder’s own flame energy reacted strongly to Long Chen’s. Long Chen knew they would be ripped off soon. The elder would demand an astronomical price now that he knew how much Feng You wanted it.
Long Chen then said, “Name your price!”
To his surprise, the elder shook his head. “Sorry, this isn’t for sale.”
Feng You’s expression instantly changed at those words.
