The workers paused after hearing this newcomer. After all, they had no reason not to sell so they looked at Li Qiye.
It was Young Lord Peng who already had two prior conflicts with Li Qiye so he was quite antagonistic.
Right now, he saw that Li Qiye was interested in the rock so he wanted to buy it right away!
w.a.n.g Han was not happy about this. Though the Peng was powerful, they were no match for the w.a.n.g. They were only relying on one of the other four great powers of Insane Court, the Upper Faction.
“Young Lord Peng, don’t be so unreasonable. Take one step back and bask in the immensity of the heaven and earth.” w.a.n.g Han said with a serious tone.
“A servant like you dares to talk to me?” Peng Weijin snorted at w.a.n.g Han and told the workers: “How much is this? Pack it up for me.”
“Young n.o.ble, this rock is priced at 1,300,000 saint true coins.” The worker immediately said.
“That’s fine, I want it even if it is only a useless piece of rock.” Weijin was naturally pained after hearing this sky-high price but he still bought it in order to keep up the facade.
He thought that Li Qiye wouldn’t be able to beat this price so the rock was his for sure. Though it was painful paying so much for one, he would feel much better after taking the guy down a notch.
“Hmph, you all probably don’t have that much spending money but as for me, when I’m in the mood, spending several millions is no big deal!” He sneered while looking at Li Qiye.
The guy looked so ordinary. What was he relying on to act like a hidden master earlier?
Li Qiye didn’t bother giving him a single glance. He grabbed the rock from the hand of the worker and took a careful look.
“Back off with your dirty paw! That’s mine now. a.s.sistant, pack it up for me.”
“Three million!” w.a.n.g Han’s expression darkened. Being disrespectful towards Li Qiye was the same as being disrespectful towards her. She told the worker: “a.s.sistant, I will pay three million. Pack it up for my Young n.o.ble!”
Weijin turned ugly after hearing this because Li Qiye didn’t look at him at all, only his servant was naming this crazy price. It was as if he wasn’t qualified to talk to Li Qiye, only enough to talk to a servant.
“You!” He glared angrily at w.a.n.g Han.
He was at a difficult position and couldn’t back off because of face. Three million was a ridiculous price. If it was a precious item, then it would be more tolerable to gather this sum. But the problem was that it was only a rock. Spending more than three million was too wasteful.
True coins were the currency of Three Immortals. They also had more uses such as acting as the building blocks of a dao lineage or as the fuel for a formation.
This coin was created from the essence of a true stone - each of them must adhere to a specific size, three inches long and nine maces. [1]
Anyone in Three Immortals could refine these coins. However, the requirements were absolute or it wouldn’t be usable in the market.
The value of a true coin was predicated on its quality. For example, one at the saint level was created from a true stone of the equivalent level. One couldn’t use a saint-level stone to refine a G.o.d-level true coin.
They could be carved on supreme formations to act as the fuel, just like the stones. However, it was much more powerful and extravagant to the point of being wasteful.
The Peng was rich and Weijin never had a lack of money, but it wasn’t worth it spending three million coins for one rock.
“3,100,000!” He gritted his teeth and went all out. If he was going to go big, then he would go all the way. Many people in life acted in this manner, unable to swallow their anger.
“5,000,000!” w.a.n.g Han said flatly. Li Qiye didn’t need to bother with such a trivial matter.
