Chapter 2398: The Primordial Realm Expert

“I only recognise five-colored divine crystals. If you don’t have enough five-colored divine crystals on you right now, please leave,” Jian Chen stressed once again. He showed no respect, leaving no room for negotiation.

The middle-aged man from the Myriad Water Estate was immediately angered. Cold light filled his eyes, and he said, “Sir, are you looking down on our Myriad Water Estate?”

“Sir, please leave,” Kai Ya said indifferent from beside Jian Chen, gesturing for the man to leave.

Jian Chen remained seated with his eyes closed. He did not say anything more. He did not waver at all.

“Hmph!” The middle-aged man glaced past Jian Chen with a glare and snorted coldly before turning around dramatically and leaving.

The rules of the spatial battleship were strict. They openly forbid fights outside the arena. Even the Myriad Water Estate, an organisation on the same level, did not dare to disobey the rules set down by the renowned Float Empire so easily.

“Jian Chen, looks like the results aren’t ideal.” Kai Ya arrived before Jian Chen and sat down after the middle-aged man had left. She looked at Jian Chen and sighed gently.

“There’s only a handful of Primordial realm experts on the spatial battleship and five-colored divine crystals tend to be in their possession as well. There will obviously be a certain level of difficulty if I expect these Godkings to pay a satisfactory price,” Jian Chen said slowly. He understood just how valuable five-colored divine crystals were.

Back on the Cloud Plane, fairy Hao Yue had even gone as far as to take personal action and eliminate a powerful enemy for someone else just to gather up enough five-colored divine crystals to return to the Moon God Hall.

Evidently, even to Primordial realm experts, five-colored divine crystals were very valuable.

“I still have a few god artifacts on me. I planned on selling a few of them to get some five-colored divine crystals, but it looks like I was a little too hopeful. Now, I can only wait for the auction to start. I hope that the Infinite Primes on the spatial battleship don’t disappoint me,” Jian Chen said softly. He kept his eyes closed the entire time and did not move at all. It was like he was meditating.

Before long, there was a sudden flash before Jian Chen, and an extremely burly, three metre tall old man silently appeared.

The old man was especially large. He was like a small giant. Jian Chen seemed insignificant as he sat before him.

The old man studied Jian Chen, and the light in his eyes flickered. “Hehe, I am Fa Yun, and I serve the Float Empire. I am one of the protectors of this spatial battleship.”

Jian Chen slowly opened his eyes and stared at Fa Yun calmly. He said, “You must have come for the god artifact as well. Do you have enough five-colored divine crystals?”

“I obviously have five-colored divine crystals,” said Fa Yun with a snicker. With a flip of his hand, a huge gourd half a meter tall appeared. He said to Jian Chen, “There’s wine that I’ve personally made in this gourd. I used nine hundred and ninety-nine renowned heavenly resources and a thousand years to make it. It’s my proudest work. Come, try my wine first, and then we can talk about the matter of exchanging slowly.”

Before Jian Chen could reply, Fa Yun swung his hand, and the huge gourd immediately flew towards Jian Chen.

It was more like smashing instead of flying because the gourd moved just too quickly. Anyone could tell that it was smashing towards Jian Chen.

Powerful energy was contained within the gourd as well. Although it did not possess killing intent, it was enough to make any Godking suffer greatly and become disheveled.

Cleatly, Fa Yun wanted to use this to test Jian Chen.

Jian Chen’s face did not change. He extended his right hand at a steady but lightning-fast pace and firmly caught the wine gourd before patting its side gently. Immediately, a stream of wine as thick as a finger shot out and landed in his mouth with great accuracy.

Jian Chen did not stand up throughout the entire process. He remained seated, as still as a mountain, with a calm expression.

Fa Yun’s eyes immediately narrowed when he witnessed this.

“What good wine! It truly is aged.” Jian Chen praised from the bottom of his heart before patting the gourd gently again. Immediately, it ‘flew’ back to Fa Yun with the same speed. Clearly, Jian Chen was returning it to him.

However, when Fa Yun caught the gourd, his old eyes immediately lit up. His body shook and having been caught off guard, he was almost pushed backwards.

“The Primordial realm!” Fa Yun cried out as surprise filled his face. His gaze towards Jian Chen underwent an overwhelming change.

“I’ve tried your wine, so let’s talk about the price. May I ask just how many five-colored divine crystals you’ve prepared?” Jian Chen asked.

“You really have hidden well. I never thought you would be a Primordial realm expert yet reside in a high class cabin. It has truly surprised me,” Fa Yun said. Immediately, he changed his attitude after learning that Jian Chen was a Primordial realm expert.

Although he failed to discover Jian Chen’s strength, just being a Primordial realm expert was enough for Jian Chen to stand on equal ground with him.

Fa Yun sat down slowly before Jian Chen, but even when he was seated, Jian Chen needed to raise his head slightly to make eye contact.

“I have around five hundred five-colored divine crystals on me right now,” Fa Yun said after hesitating for a while.

Jian Chen frowned when he heard that. His voice became rather serious, and he said, “Only five hundred? That’s nowhere near enough. A low quality god artifact is worth far more than that.”

Fa Yun fell silent. Originally, he planned on overwhelming Jian Chen with his identity as a Primordial realm expert and buy the god artifact from him at a lower price.

But in the end, he never expected Jian Chen to be a Primordial realm expert as well, so his earlier thoughts clearly would not work out.

“I’ll find a way to gather some more five-colored divine crystals.” With that, Fa Yun directly left.

…

During the next few days, the people who visited Jian Chen gradually decreased. Everyone had learnt that Jian Chen was stubborn. He only wanted five-colored divine crystals and left no room for negotiation, so they obviously did not visit him again.

Of course, Jian Chen offended quite a few people during those days. There were even a few people with larger backgrounds who directly threatened him.

Fa Yun did not go to find Jian Chen in the next few days either.

In the blink of an eye, the day of the auction arrived. The god artifact from Jian Chen was placed in the auction centre, shining with dazzling light. Powerful formations protected it, preventing anyone from stealing it.

The surroundings were absolutely packed. Everyone stared at the god artifact with undisguised interest and desire.

Jian Chen and Kai Ya had arrived in a viewing box specially prepared for them, paying close attention to the activity of the auction.

All the authoritative people on the spatial battleship had gathered as well; they were seated in various viewing boxes.

“Jian Chen, I feel like your auction this time won’t be very successful. There might be a few people who will secretly interfere with it,” Kai Ya sat before Jian Chen in the viewing box and said with some worry.

“Let’s wait and see,” Jian Chen remained calm instead. He was already a Primordial realm expert, and he was not as weak as someone who had just reached the Primordial realm. He was confident enough about facing all the problems that would occur.

After all, even the strongest on the spatial battleship were Infinite Primes. It was impossible for Chaotic Primes to be here.
