Chapter 190: 5 high-grade source stones to acquire the flawed Sea Soul Jade!
They have the nerve to call this an "offer of sincerity" when it's such an exorbitant price; they're clearly treating him like a fat pig to be slaughtered.
The people from Xuanyun Holy Land standing nearby also changed their expressions upon hearing the price; although they were the ones being ripped off, it wasn't them.
However, Chen Yue, as a member of the Xuan Yun Holy Land, was on the same side as them.
If it weren't for the large number of people and the presence of many powerful experts at the King Realm, the situation would have been much better.
When the stall owner announced the exorbitant price of ten million high-grade source stones, Mu Xin and Yao Yu had already rushed forward to teach him a lesson.
Selling a piece of black jade for ten million wouldn't even make you lose your teeth.
Gu Jun rebuked him mercilessly, "You dare call ten million high-grade source stones a sincere price? I think you have no shame at all."
"How valuable can an inconspicuous stone be? I'll give you a price: one million high-grade source stones. Can you sell it?"
Upon hearing the price, the stall owner didn't even hesitate and readily replied, "Sell!"
Gu Jun was completely stunned by this answer. "Did I overcharge...?"
Not just him, but everyone who heard those words had their mouths agape in astonishment.
Chen Yue quickly questioned, "This piece of Sea Soul Jade is so badly damaged, I'm afraid it will shatter if I touch it."
The stall owner immediately spoke up to defend himself, saying, "Young master, you don't know this, but that's how Sea Soul Jade is. One million high-grade source stones is really the lowest price we can offer."
Chen Yue looked at his boss with a determined expression, which made him seem a little less confident.
"Do you think I've never seen a real Sea Soul Jade? You dare to sell me a flawed piece for a million high-grade source stones? Isn't that a bit too wishful thinking?"
"One thousand high-grade source stones, that's all!"
The stall owner exclaimed in surprise, "How...how much?!"
"A thousand high-grade source stones? Without ten thousand? That definitely won't do!"
"Young Master, you're being too unfair with this price cut. You've reduced ten million high-grade source stones to just one thousand."
"Even if this piece of Sea Soul Jade isn't intact, you can't cut it like that!"
Seeing the stall owner's reaction, Chen Yue had a general idea of what was going on.
This flawed piece of Sea Soul Jade is probably only worth a few hundred thousand high-grade source stones, or even more exaggeratedly, only tens of thousands.
If it really only costs tens of thousands of high-grade source stones to acquire it, then Chen Yue is determined to get this Sea Soul Jade.
It's the core of a sixth-tier spirit beast, after all. Even if it's sold, it can fetch at least several times its original value.
"Then name your price, and I'll see if it's within my budget."
"If you make any more unreasonable bids, I'm leaving immediately."
The stall owner hesitated. He had bought this flawed piece of Sea Soul Jade for 50,000 high-grade source stones years ago, and no one had ever inquired about it before.
They were almost stuck with it, but then someone set their sights on this piece of Sea Soul Jade, so naturally they couldn't let it go easily.
Earning a little less is much better than having it stuck in your hands.
After careful consideration, the stall owner slowly held up five fingers. "Young master, what do you think of 500,000 high-grade source stones?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Jun, who had just spent over a million high-grade source stones, suddenly began to question his life choices.
The drop from the air is still this big; a million is definitely too much.
Chen Yue did not immediately agree. He first carefully observed the boss's expression and did not detect any sense of urgency on his face.
He thought to himself, "There's still plenty of room to descend."
Like the stall owner, Chen Yue also held up five fingers.
"50,000 high-grade source stones."
Upon hearing the price, the shopkeeper continued, "Fifty thousand high-grade source stones is far too little. If you are truly interested, young master..."
"Then I'll go all out this time, I won't earn a single Originium."
"Take the 100,000 high-grade source stones directly, no need to haggle anymore."
This time, Chen Yue could clearly see an unprecedented sense of urgency on the stall owner's face.
Therefore, he guessed that 50,000 high-grade source stones was definitely the stall owner's bottom line.
If the price drops any lower than this, the negotiations might really fall apart.
Chen Yue still held up five fingers, "Fifty thousand high-grade source stones, if possible, one hand for source stones and the other for sea soul jade."
"This is the highest price I can offer. Please consider it carefully, boss."
The boss's expression was clearly displeased; 50,000 high-grade source stones were truly his bottom line.
If he were to actually sell it at that price, he would truly not make a single penny.
The initial price of ten million high-grade source stones was reduced to one hundred thousand after several rounds of bargaining.
"Young master, 100,000 high-grade source stones is my bottom line."
"If you insist on cutting it in half, then I'll keep this piece of Sea Soul Jade even if it's stuck in my hands, I won't sell it."
Chen Yue turned and left without hesitation; 100,000 yuan was still far beyond his expectations.
A flawed piece of Sea Soul Jade can only fetch a maximum price of 50,000 high-grade source stones.
If the boss insists on keeping it, then he will have no choice but to look for a second piece of Sea Soul Jade.
Seeing Chen Yue turn and leave, Gu Jun and Chen Yu quickly followed.
Chen Yu asked in a low voice, "Cousin Chen Yue, are we really leaving like this?"
"He reduced his price from ten million high-grade source stones to one hundred thousand. Perhaps this is truly his lowest price."
Even Gu Jun spoke up to persuade him, "Xiao Yu is right. The only thing you're missing from collecting is this piece of Sea Soul Jade. Ten thousand high-grade source stones are better than ten million."
Chen Yue didn't answer the two men. He silently counted his steps. If the boss called him within ten steps, it meant there was hope.
If the boss doesn't try to persuade him to stay after ten steps, then Chen Yue will have no choice but to give up on this flawed piece of sea soul jade.
"Seven, eight, nine..."
After much internal struggle, the stall owner, adhering to the principle that it's better to avoid losses than to have bad money stuck with unsold goods, finally made up his mind.
"and many more!"
Chen Yue smiled slightly, "It's done!"
The stall owner picked up the Sea Soul Jade and said with a heavy heart, "Fifty thousand it is, take it!"
Chen Yue didn't waste any more words with him. He directly took out 50,000 high-grade source stones from his storage bag and accepted the flawed sea soul jade.
The stall owner reluctantly put away the high-grade source stones; this time, he really hadn't made a single profit.
I thought I'd run into a sucker, but it turns out I was the sucker all along.
Gu Jun and Chen Yu were shocked by this move, their eyes widening in disbelief. They began to admire Chen Yue, who had easily slashed the price by half.
Chen Yu exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Jun, thankfully Cousin Chen Yue didn't listen to us."
"I should have seen it coming sooner; Fellow Daoist Chen Yue was playing hard to get!"
Gu Jun nodded repeatedly, looking blankly at Chen Yue.
"What's so special about it? It's just a piece of jade. Watch me find an identical one in no time."
"Young Master, don't talk nonsense. If someone with ulterior motives hears this, be careful that the Master won't blame you!"
"What's there to be afraid of? I'm not wrong. Father doesn't care about his precious son, but insists on giving that jade to that good-for-nothing prince."
Chen Yue heard two people talking not far away. He turned around and saw a burly man and a richly dressed young man.
The two walked in the eye of the center, their presence a stark contrast to their surroundings.
