143: What can you say if you have no money!

Used today.

Chen Xian secretly thought: The System did not deceive me!

"Big Yellow! Clean up the battlefield!"

Big Yellow barked twice.

It opened its large mouth!

The corpses of Fire Feather Flood Dragons scattered across the mountainside were instantly swallowed into Big Yellow's mouth!

"Holy crap, what is that thing?"

A Prodigy hadn't recovered from the previous shock when he was startled by Big Yellow's action!

"Among the Yao Beast canines, there doesn't seem to be any that can swallow this much stuff!"

These Prodigies had all been meticulously nurtured since childhood.

Although their character varied, they were all well-read.

They were especially knowledgeable about the types of Yao Beasts.

Now, watching Big Yellow frantically devour the corpses of Fire Feather Flood Dragons on Flame Mountain, many of them vaguely sensed something was wrong.

"Fire Feather Flood Dragons are Vicious Beasts of the Dragon Clan. Even after death, their bones emit the aura of the Dragon Clan. Ordinary Yao Beasts wouldn't dare approach, let alone swallow them..."

"Unless..."

"Unless what?"

A Prodigy from the Beast Taming Sect said with a grave expression: "This dog isn't a Yao Beast at all, but a Divine Beast!"

He said seriously: "Based on what I see now, only the Divine Beast Celestial Dog could accomplish this, unafraid of the Fire Feather Flood Dragons, and capable of swallowing so many of their corpses!"

"Impossible!"

"Divine Beasts have always possessed intelligence and are inherently arrogant! How could one follow around a second generation ancestor!"

"Moreover, look at its patchy fur, it looks just like a stray dog by the village side. How could it possibly be the Moon-Devouring Celestial Dog!"

The Prodigy from the Beast Taming Sect was speechless when he saw their determined refusal to admit it.

"Although I really don't want to admit that such a Divine Beast could be accompanying this second generation ancestor... I have to say, this is a Divine Beast Celestial Dog, and its Realm is not low either!"

He could admit that his skills were inferior.

But he would never admit that his expertise was inferior to others.

Especially in the aspect of beast taming.

Seeing his serious demeanor, the crowd of Prodigies fell silent for a moment.

In matters concerning Yao Beasts, this Prodigy from the Beast Taming Sect was indeed an authority.

But they truly were unwilling to accept this fact.

Someone whom they had always been too lazy to even compete with, someone not even worthy of comparison, could now not only slay hundreds of Fire Feather Flood Dragons with a single sword strike.

But also had a Divine Beast of no low Realm by his side.

By what right?

Their gazes fell upon Chen Xian, devoid of the previous contempt and disdain.

Instead, their eyes were filled with greed!

That was a Divine Beast.

Something that perhaps even the Saint of the Beast Taming Sect could not tame.

How could Chen Xian be worthy of such a good thing!

However, at this moment, Gu Qingcheng and the others, besides excitement, also felt a strong sense of vigilance.

"What should we do? They seem to be making a move against the Young Lord!"

Zheng Yi whispered: "Don't be afraid. The purpose of the Embroidered Uniform Guard coming to the Shanhai Secret Realm is to ensure the Young Lord's safety. As long as the Embroidered Uniform Guard is present, these Prodigies will also hesitate!"

"Let's hope the Young Lord stays safe!"

On Flame Mountain!

Big Yellow had absorbed the corpses of the Fire Feather Flood Dragons scattered everywhere.

Chen Xian was not surprised in the slightest.

Ever since he recognized Big Yellow as his master and discovered it could advance its Realm by consuming Spirit Stones.

Chen Xian had fed all the Spirit Stones he had scammed to Big Yellow. For a dignified Celestial Dog, if it couldn't even eat these Yao Beast corpses, it wouldn't be worth mentioning.

What was more pressing for him now was finding the ten thousand year fire lotus.

That was the main mission for coming to Flame Mountain.

Chen Xian activated the Fire Seed within his body. The Fire Seed contained natural Fire Attribute elements, gradually guiding him toward a corner on the mountaintop.

Chen Xian cautiously followed the guidance of the Fire Seed.

Until he reached the corner, where a fire lotus was quietly blooming.

The intense heat it emitted even dispelled a significant portion of the heat on Flame Mountain.

On another mountain.

The gazes of the numerous Prodigies were fixed tightly on Chen Xian's figure.

Until they also saw that fire lotus.

"It's a fire lotus!"

"Hmph, it's just a fire lotus, why is he being so careful?"

A Prodigy showed a face full of disdain as he watched Chen Xian cautiously approach.

It seemed they finally had an aspect where they could mock Chen Xian.

However, at this moment, a Prodigy from the Crimson Flame Sect looked at the fire lotus.

He exclaimed: "No, this is not an ordinary fire lotus!"

"Ordinary fire lotuses have twelve seeds!"

"A hundred-year one has twenty-four seeds!"

"A thousand-year one has forty-eight seeds!"

"The lotus seeds on this one are seventy-two..."

Hiss!

This Prodigy from the Crimson Flame Sect did not continue speaking.

But these people already understood what he meant.

Unlike the explanation about Big Yellow given by the one from the Beast Taming Sect, which was laborious.

They had some knowledge of fire lotuses; after all, almost every Fire Attribute Cultivator would have encountered them.

This was definitely a genuine ten thousand year fire lotus.

This Prodigy from the Crimson Flame Sect shouted: "Marquis of Jubei!"

"No, Chen Xian! We, the Crimson Flame Sect, want that ten thousand year fire lotus! I'll give you one million Spirit Stones!"

After he finished speaking.

Chen Xian naturally heard him and subconsciously looked up.

"What idiot is this?"

One million Spirit Stones!

That wouldn't even buy a hundred-year fire lotus!

Did he really think he was illiterate!

However, Chen Xian didn't completely ignore him. He said with a smile: "Do you think I'm an idiot?"

"I want at least one and a half million!"

"The ten thousand year fire lotus is here! Whoever wants it, please make an offer!"

For a moment, these Prodigies changed their previous scornful and arrogant demeanor.

Instead, they all showed fawning smiles.

"I bid two million!"

"I bid three million!"

"Chen Xian, just consider it making friends, I bid five million!"

Chen Xian watched them eagerly competing to bid.

A smile appeared on his face.

He didn't even need to speak; these people needed to keep bidding.

Because they couldn't raise the price higher, they could only sigh longingly at the ten thousand year fire lotus.

It wasn't until someone called out thirty million Spirit Stones.

That Chen Xian made a stopping gesture.

"Where are the Spirit Stones?"

The one who boasted about thirty million was a Disciple from the Central Continent's Crimson Flame Sect.

No Sect needed the ten thousand year fire lotus more than theirs, which specialized in flames.

"I don't have thirty million right now, but I will definitely give it to you after we leave the Shanhai Secret Realm!"

Chen Xian rolled his eyes.

"If you don't have it, why the hell are you talking!"

He squatted down and plucked the ten thousand year fire lotus.

The Crimson Flame Sect Disciple let out a scream.

"Ah! Chen Xian, you destroyed the ten thousand year fire lotus!"

"Our Crimson Flame Sect will never forgive you!"

"Destroyed? What does that mean?"

The other Prodigies asked, completely bewildered.

The Crimson Flame Sect Prodigy said furiously: "Fire lotuses grow in the world, nurtured by Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi! They cannot be cultivated artificially!"
