Chapter 610 - Blue Devil Flame
Her voice was as sweet as singing canaries and her smile was bewitching.
But Long Chen ignored her as he looked at the first floor. It was a massive room that spanned dozens of square Mu.[1] He couldn’t even see the end, and numerous spiritual herbs, martial techniques, weapons, and treasures filled the space.
Everything could be found here.
But everything on this floor was at the Heaven-tier, so Long Chen didn’t need any of it. “I need to go up.”
The lady had expected that. “Please follow me.”
As she climbed up, her hips swayed to appeal to Long Chen.
Long Chen followed her all the way up to the fifth floor. Most of the items here were still at the Heaven-tier, but all of them were at the advanced Heaven-tier. If he went up more, he would find King-tier items. The lady asked, “Sir, I do not have permission to go to the sixth floor and above. If you need to go up there, my supervisor will guide you instead.”
Long Chen nodded.
She then led Long Chen to an old man with golden glasses. The old man looked at him once and said, “Are you the Hundred-War Martial King?”
Long Chen nodded.
After confirming his identity, the old man smiled and nodded. “I fear that I’ve used up all my luck to receive a visit from the Hundred-War Martial King, haha. Please follow me.”
Seeing how the old man wasn’t afraid of him, Long Chen was certain that the old man was at the same ranking as Martial Kings. He was also certain that many other Martial Kings had come here before.
There are probably some Martial Kings on the sixth floor and above. I should just get what I want and leave as soon as possible. Long Chen suddenly realized that it wasn’t that simple to get what he wanted on the eighth floor.
“I don’t know what you need, Hundred-War Martial King, but we have everything except for the Five Emperor Seals.” Even though the old man was exaggerating, the riches of the Martial Merchant Alliance were indeed frightening.
“I need to go to the eighth floor.”
“Ah ...” The eighth floor was where the Martial Merchant Alliance kept their most precious items. Usually, only those at the Second Earthly Martial Stage had enough money to purchase them, so the old man was shocked.
But after working for so long, the old man knew that a silent person was the deadliest. The Hundred-War Martial king was infamous for his silence and didn’t have many friends, but the old man wouldn’t underestimate him.
“Please follow me.” The old man guided him up.
The eighth floor was also fairly large, but there weren’t a lot of treasures to be seen. Most of the items were useless to Long Chen, and the true treasures were usually pocketed by people like the Martial Overlord.
Following Xiaolang’s guidance, Long Chen soon saw the thing he was attracted to. He followed the path and felt the air burning. Something was radiating intense heat.
In front of him was a lake, and inside the lake was a green liquid. Long Chen was certain that it wasn’t water.
Long Chen saw a small, blue flame burning in the green liquid.
The old man noticed that Long Chen wanted to buy it and started explaining, “This is the water from the Jade Frost Lake. Its temperature is extremely low; someone below the Heavenly Passage Realm would be frozen to death if they were submerged in it.
“But we cannot sense the coldness right now due to the presence of a mystical beast flare. It’s called the Blue Devil Flame.” The old man smiled. “I’m sure that you are here for it. You have good taste. The Blue Devil Flame is a beast flare formed after an extremely powerful demonic beast died. If you merge it into your essence, it will drastically increase your strength.”
Blue Devil Flame. Beast flare.
It was the first time Long Chen had heard of it. Does that mean it’s similar to the Golden Crow Flames?
Long Chen asked Little Cat, “Is it similar to the Golden Crow Flames?”
Little Cat answered, “It’s far different. The Blue Devil Flame was clearly formed after the death of a Category Six King-tier beast. The Golden Crow is leagues above that. The Blue Devil Flame might increase your strength a bit now, but it will be useless once you become stronger. The Golden Crow Flames, however, form the nucleus of your cores, so they will grow stronger with you. Do you think they are the same?”
Long Chen said nothing as he now understood the difference.
The old man thought Long Chen was here for the Blue Devil Flame, and he also assumed that Long Chen knew about its benefits. “Are you here to purchase it? You have good eyes. If you merge it, I fear most of the Martial Kings would lose to you.”
“Isn’t it dangerous to merge with it?” Long Chen asked coldly.
“Well ...” The old man laughed dryly. “There are no safe paths in cultivation. If you wish to become stronger, you have to take on such risks.”
He knew that Long Chen was here to purchase it, but the old man doubted that he had the money. The Blue Devil Flame was so expensive that regular cultivators at the Second Earthly Martial Stage couldn’t afford it.
“This is an expensive item priced at fifty King Crystals. Would you ...”
Long Chen nodded. “Alright. I have prepared enough to purchase it.”
Fifty King Crystals was a large transaction, so the old man was overjoyed. “The Blue Devil Flame and the water are included in the price. You can take all of them away with fifty King Crystals.”
Long Chen nodded. He was about to place it in the Primordial Realm and give it to Xiaolang when a few people walked into the eighth floor. The person in the lead almost shocked Long Chen to death.
Most of them were warriors from the Martial Alliance, but the person walking at the front was extremely familiar. It was none other than Zhao Danchen. He was smiling as he led a beautiful woman into the floor. The woman was naturally an extreme beauty that even the ladies at the shop couldn’t compare to.
Seeing how Zhao Danchen was being so affectionate to her, Long Chen assumed that she was just one of many women he preyed upon.
Long Chen tensed up when he saw Zhao Danchen. It was an unfortunate meeting, but all he could do was hope that his disguise would hold up.
In order to prevent strong cultivators like Zhao Danchen from recognizing Long Chen’s aura, Lan Xiang’er had used a special ointment that disguised his aura as that of someone at the First Earthly Martial Stage.
Since his aura has been covered up, Long Chen wasn’t worried about Zhao Danchen discovering his true identity. In fact, even Jiang Wuya couldn’t tell that he was Long Chen in disguise.
Zhao Danchen and the beautiful lady were walking and flirting. A lady of the Martial Merchant Alliance was guiding the way for them.
When the old man saw Zhao Danchen, he ignored Long Chen and quickly kneeled. “Greetings, Martial Emperor Zhao.”
Zhao Danchen waved his hand and finally spotted Long Chen.
The old man needed to kneel, but Long Chen didn’t have to since he was a Martial King. He bowed and said, “Chen Guangjun greets Martial Emperor Zhao.”
“Chen Guangjun ... I remember you. You are the subordinate of Yang Ningfeng.” Zhao Danchen’s gaze pierced through Long Chen’s body. Long Chen shivered, not because of Zhao Danchen, but because he was wary of the Martial Overlord.
There were three Martial Emperors, and each of them led over a dozen Martial Kings. Chen Guangjun was under the guidance of Yang Ningfeng, but with his death, Chen Guangjun didn’t have a superior now.
Long Chen lowered his head and answered, “Yes, Emperor Zhao.”
Zhao Danchen was displeased by how quiet Long Chen was, but then recalled how Chen Guangjung was a Martial King who was overly loyal to the Martial Alliance but usually talked very little. He decided to ignore Long Chen when the woman beside him pulled on his arm. “Brother Zhao, I want that Blue Devil Flame. I’m already at the Ninth Passage Stage, so once I become stronger and reach the Earthly Martial Realm, I can absorb the flame and become strong.”
Long Chen scowled slightly. It appeared that Zhao Danchen was accompanying the lady to take the Blue Devil Flame. With his identity, the Martial Merchant Alliance wouldn’t dare to take his money since the person behind Zhao Danchen was the Martial Overlord Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Danchen hugged the lady and teased her. “I can give you the Blue Devil Flame, but how will you thank me tonight?”
“You are so bad ...” The lady raised a small fist and lightly thumped on Zhao Danchen’s chest. They completely ignored Long Chen and the others.
Long Chen dared not reveal his identity, so he waited to see what would happen.
Zhao Danchen and the lady flirted for a while before he commanded the old man, “Put the Blue Devil Flame into a Universe Pouch and give it to my darling.”
