Nine Star Hegemon Body Art - Chapter 5084: Dragon Corpses
When Long Chen’s group followed the source of that voice, they saw Netherdragon Wushang leading his people over to a giant stall, cursing the owner furiously.
Long Chen noticed that this stall was actually three stalls combined, making it particularly conspicuous. All the stalls here were large originally, and merging three into one made it stand out even more.
There were dozens of two-vein Heaven Saints on the other side, facing off against Netherdragon Wushang nervously. Although they were protected by the laws of this place, they were still worried about things going out of control.
Long Chen looked for what was causing the disturbance. When he realized what it was, his own heartbeat quickened.
Three black dragon corpses were sealed within a crystal case—a special storage item. These black dragons looked to only be three feet long within it, but if they were released, this entire plaza would be unable to contain them.
In particular, one of those dragons had six kinds of decorative marks on its scales, indicating that it had been a six-vein Heaven Saint. Even though the crystal case had a barrier around it, the terrifying pressure from a six-vein Heaven Saint dragon corpse shook people’s souls.
The other two dragon corpses had been five-vein Heaven Saints. When Long Chen saw those three corpses, his heart leaped. They might have passed countless years ago, but they were perfectly preserved. This was a huge treasure to Long Chen.
However, their heads had already been cut open, and the dragon cores, horns, and reverse scales had been removed. Long Chen saw another crystal case where these items were being offered for sale separately.
“You bastards, how dare you blaspheme the ancestors of my Netherdragon race and demand such an astronomical price?! Are you not afraid of the Netherdragon race’s vengeance?!” roared Netherdragon Wushang. The other experts of the Netherdragon race beside him were also gnashing their teeth, looking like they were about to rip the other party apart.
“Great heroes of the Netherdragon race, we are just doing business. We have to eat too! We understand your emotions, but these three seniors of the Netherdragon race were not slain by us. We bought their bodies, and we have been using a lot of resources to prevent their divinity from fading away. If you want to bring these three seniors home, that is only correct. But we also need to make some money. You can’t expect us to take a loss, right?” said an elder on the other side earnestly.
In truth, their conflict was not over the blasphemy but over the immense price. The Netherdragon race was threatening them because of that.
“Tch, if you don’t have any money, then that’s that. What’s the point of threatening people?” mocked Long Chen. If he didn’t belittle Netherdragon Wushang now, he wouldn’t be Long Chen.
The Netherdragon race’s experts were instantly enraged, especially when they saw Long Chen.
“It is none of your business! Scram!” shouted Netherdragon Wushang.
“You’re the one who should scram. If you don’t have any money, why bother the shopkeepers?” taunted Long Chen as he swaggered to the front. Pushing aside the dragon crystals, horns, and scales, he pointed to the three dragon corpses. “Shopkeeper, how much for a pound of this meat?”
The elder in charge hastily said, “I’m sorry, but we are selling these dragon corpses as a whole. We can’t divide them by the pound.”
“Ah? That’s not good. If you can’t finish it in one go, won’t it get stinky?” asked Long Chen.
The expressions of the Netherdragon race’s experts darkened. On the other hand, Feng You and Hu Xiaoyu almost laughed. Long Chen was haggling like he was at a butcher’s shop.
“Bastard, I’ll slaughter you!” roared Netherdragon Wushang. However, the people beside him held him back with all their power. After all, there were too many Pill Valley experts around. Even though the Netherdragon race’s relationship with Pill Valley wasn’t bad, they couldn’t break the rules.
In truth, Netherdragon Wushang was just putting on an act to scare people. If he really wanted to attack, his followers wouldn’t be able to stop him.
Long Chen didn’t even look at him and just pointed at the six-vein Heaven Saint corpse, asking, “How much for the big one?”
“Eight hundred Sage King Pills!”
“Why is it so expensive? Who can afford to eat something like that?” Long Chen acted shocked.
“Sir, you’re joking. This senior of the dragon race was a six-vein Heaven Saint, and its corpse contains countless treasures. This price is already very reasonable,” replied the elder hastily.
“What about the two small ones?” asked Long Chen again.
“The small—cough, these two five-vein Heaven Saints are priced at three hundred Sage King Pills.”
“Three hundred for both or one?”
“Naturally, each is three hundred.”
Long Chen thought about it before saying, “The two small ones aren’t too expensive, but they’re also not big enough for one pot. How about you give me a discount for all three together? Let me tell you, I am trying to buy them sincerely. I was just injured by an old fogey, and my body needs some nutrients to recover. Don’t con me, and I’ll take them all from your hands.”
Feng You and the others knew that Long Chen was cursing the Domain Lord who had injured him just before. However, Bai Yingxue didn’t know why Long Chen wanted these dragon corpses. She thought he was simply toying with Netherdragon Wushang. After all, they were enemies, and Long Chen had never been nice to his enemies.
Seeing Long Chen act as if he were buying fish at the marketplace, Netherdragon Wushang clenched his teeth furiously. He didn’t dare attack here, but he also didn’t want to leave, as the dragon cores, scales, and horns were of utmost importance to him.
Gritting his teeth, the elder said, “Since you really want them, I’ll discount the fourteen hundred Sage King Pills to thirteen hundred and fifty.”
“Five hundred.” Long Chen raised a hand and stuck out five fingers.
The elder almost spat out blood. This kind of haggling was absolutely ruthless. Just as he was about to refuse, Long Chen sent him a spiritual message.
“If I take the dragon corpses, you’ll be able to sell the dragon crystals, horns, and scales at their full value. If I walk away, you risk not selling anything and potentially angering the Netherdragon race.”
As a result, the elder’s expression changed. Faced with the threat and Long Chen’s cold logic, he reluctantly agreed. In front of an astonished crowd, he accepted Long Chen’s offer, trading the three dragon corpses for five hundred Sage King Pills.
Long Chen picked up the entire case with confidence, deliberately striding past Netherdragon Wushang and the others before storing it in his primal chaos space. He then laughed triumphantly and walked away with Feng You and the others, leaving Netherdragon Wushang seething with rage.
