Versatile Mage: Soul and Demon Dual Cultivation

The plant-type Soul Seed possesses the ability to devour poison, allowing plant-type mages to simultaneously wield multiple different toxins by absorbing them.

The wind-type Soul Seed contains a potent neurotoxin. These two Soul Seeds complement each other, and their combined power is considerable. However, their characteristics are quite niche, which is why Lin Chen was able to acquire them at a bargain.

"No need, I'm going back to the Magic City. I'll check it out myself!" Lin Chen said.

Jiang Xin nodded and said, "Alright, the address is at the International Trade Center in the Magic City!"

After giving some instructions and bidding farewell to Jiang Xin, Lin Chen left Flying Bird City.

Two days later, at the International Trade Center in the Magic City, Lin Chen arrived. To enter the International Trade Center, one needs a certain status and position.

Lin Chen presented his Hunter Badge and smoothly entered. After hunting demons for several years, Lin Chen is now a renowned Hunter Master.

"Lin Chen, you're here too!"

Just then, a familiar voice rang out. Lin Chen followed the sound and saw Mo Fan's figure, accompanied by a handsome man.

"What a coincidence, Mo Fan! I didn't expect to see you here!" Lin Chen said with a smile.

He glanced at the man beside Mo Fan and then asked, "And this is?"

"He's my friend, Zhao Manyan!" Mo Fan introduced.

Mo Fan then introduced Lin Chen to Zhao Manyan, "This is my friend, Lin Chen. He's from Bo City, just like me!"

Lin Chen nodded slightly, extended his right hand, and said, "Hello, Zhao Manyan. My name is Lin Chen!"

Zhao Manyan immediately reached out his right hand and said happily, "Haha, I've heard so much about you! The Fire Element champion from the main campus! I saw the videos of your matches back then. Amazing, brother! Bo City is truly a wonderful place, producing such outstanding talents, two great demon kings in a row!"

Zhao Manyan has a good personality, outgoing and cheerful, and a bit of a social butterfly. AItu Tu is also a social butterfly, but the two are vastly different. Zhao Manyan is very polite in his speech, always saying flattering things, while AItu Tu is straightforward and quite willful.

Lin Chen smiled and said, "Everyone in Pearl Academy knows the name of Young Master Zhao. I didn't expect to run into you here today!"

Mo Fan laughed and said, "It's quite a coincidence. I heard there's a lightning-type Spiritual Seed being auctioned today, so I wanted to buy it!"

Hearing this, Lin Chen suddenly understood. He said, "Looks like you've made quite a bit of money recently!"

Mo Fan smiled awkwardly and said modestly, "Not really, just small change!"

Lin Chen smiled slightly. He knew Lingling's bounty missions all too well. The word "messy" was the most fitting description.

"The auction is about to start. Lin Chen, are you here alone? Why don't you join us?" Zhao Manyan invited.

"Okay!" Lin Chen nodded, accepting Zhao Manyan's invitation. Led by Zhao Manyan, the three quickly arrived at a private room.

Soon, the auction officially began. The items auctioned in the early stages were all suitable for beginner and intermediate-level mages, and Lin Chen wasn't interested at all.

Soon, the lightning-type Spiritual Seed appeared. After some bidding, Mo Fan successfully bid for the lightning-type Spiritual Seed—Thunderclap.

"Mo Fan, I have a fire-type Spiritual Seed here that can amplify the power of fire-type magic by 2.5 times. Are you interested?" Lin Chen said.

Instead of letting this Spiritual Seed gather dust in the Spiritual Realm, he might as well sell it to Mo Fan.

With the assistance of energy crystals for magic cultivation, Lin Chen and the girls cultivate extremely fast before reaching the advanced level. Once they reach the advanced level, they can absorb Soul Seeds. Therefore, Lin Chen lacks Soul Seeds, and Spiritual Seeds are of no use to him.

Hearing this, Mo Fan's eyes lit up, and he asked, "How much?"

Lin Chen smiled and said, "How about twenty million?"

Mo Fan pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. "Okay, thank you!"

This price was obviously several million cheaper than the market price. Mo Fan was grateful for this, and the two immediately completed the transaction.

After receiving Mo Fan's payment, Lin Chen couldn't help but think: Mo Fan is indeed rich. He spent over forty million on two Spiritual Seeds. It seems he's been selling quite a few essences lately.

Even the lowest-level servant-class essence costs at least three million on the market, and it's still hard to find. If you want to buy it smoothly, you have to add money.

Therefore, in terms of wealth alone, as long as Mo Fan works hard, he can become the richest man in the world. His Little Loach is simply too heaven-defying.

Having obtained Lin Chen's Spiritual Seed, Mo Fan's goal for this trip was more than fulfilled, but he didn't leave. Instead, he took the opportunity to broaden his horizons today.

Zhao Manyan kept explaining things by his side, and the gap between ordinary mages and children of aristocratic families was immediately apparent.

As one item after another was sold, today's auction also came to an end.

During this period, Lin Chen also gained something. He spent 120 million to bid for a Star River Vein.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Whether it's the Star River Vein or the Star Sea Heavenly Vein, they are both strategic-level resources and important resources for mages to quickly break through bottlenecks.

For these types of resources, Lin Chen will buy them as long as he sees them, as long as the price isn't too outrageous, he can accept it!

"Next is the finale of this auction, a wind-type Soul Seed called Wind Gale. Its birthplace is full of endless gale energy. According to the appraisal, the gale energy is extremely overbearing and sharp. Each gale energy is incomparably sharp, like countless sharp daggers, making it difficult to defend against. Whether it's offense or defense, it can achieve unexpected results!"

The auctioneer passionately introduced this wind-type Soul Seed. He paused, looked at everyone's reactions, and continued to introduce, "This wind-type Soul Seed can amplify the magic power of wind-type mages by 6 times. Its power is the best among Soul Seeds. Not only that, but it can also give mages a Wind Gale Domain. Everyone here understands how precious Soul Seeds with domains are. Alright, I won't say much more. The starting price for this Wind Gale Soul Seed is 800 million, with each bid increasing by no less than 10 million. Let the bidding begin!"

As the auctioneer's voice fell, everyone present actively bid. This Soul Seed can be described as the best of the best.

"Looks like I didn't come here for nothing today!" Lin Chen muttered to himself. The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. He was very satisfied with this Soul Seed, and he was determined to get it this time.

"850 million!"

"930 million!"

"1.04 billion!"

"1.16 billion!"

"… …"

"Looks like there are quite a few people who know their stuff!" Lin Chen said to himself.

The bidding wasn't increasing by 10 million each time. In just half a minute, the bidding price reached 1.2 billion.

This scene stunned Mo Fan. Are rich people so crazy now?

"Old Zhao, what's going on? It's just a Soul Seed. Is it really worth that much?" Mo Fan asked in confusion.
