Chapter 978 -s 87–88: Expensive Vessel, 10,000 Eternal Ancient Continents (Double-length)
A moment passed.
Yun Xiu’s calm demeanor changed slightly.
"Second-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment!"
At first, he thought that Shen Changqing had offered only a first-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment, but now he realized it was a second-level fragment.
Though second-level may seem similar to first-level.
The significance is entirely different.
Taking a deep breath.
Yun Xiu’s expression became more solemn as he placed the Divine Kingdom Fragment down, gazing at the person before him: "Honored guest, what price do you intend to sell this Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment?"
"Forty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals."
Shen Changqing spoke lightly.
This price.
It was the one given to him by the previous appraiser when he last visited Yunyan Pavilion.
He was sure that this price was not the highest.
As expected.
Yun Xiu pondered for a moment, not rejecting immediately, but speaking with some difficulty: "Although the second-level Divine Kingdom Fragment is more precious than first-level, its rarity is still limited. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
The price of forty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals exceeds the value of a first-level by several times, which might be a bit troublesome."
Saying this.
He deliberately paused for a moment, then continued.
"Yunyan Pavilion treats its guests fairly, so I will be frank. If you sincerely wish to sell, I can take the responsibility to offer thirty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals. What do you think?"
Upon hearing.
Shen Changqing slightly shook his head, tapping his finger lightly on the table, with a subtle smile: "I came to Yunyan Pavilion purely because of its reputation, and I am well aware of the approximate price of a second-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment.
If Yunyan Pavilion truly conducts business this way, then I have no choice."
"Moreover——"
"This visit, the Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment is just one part; there are other deals I wish to pursue with Yunyan Pavilion.
But if Yunyan Pavilion is unwilling, then I shall bid farewell."
After speaking.
He feigned the action of retrieving the Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment, preparing to leave.
"Please remain calm, honored guest."
Yun Xiu intervened, displaying a faint smile.
"Business is about mutual consent. Since you find the price unreasonable, we can discuss further.
However, I am curious, besides the Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment, what other treasures do you plan to sell at Yunyan Pavilion?"
Thirty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals.
That was merely his base offer, and it would be best if the other party agreed; if not, they could negotiate slowly.
Sun and Moon Divine Crystals are unlike others.
Each Sun and Moon Divine Crystal is equivalent to over ten thousand first-level Divine Crystals.
Such fluctuations are not trivial.
Seeing this.
Shen Changqing sat back down and retrieved the remaining five Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments from his storage ring.
Upon seeing those five Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments, Yun Xiu’s pupils slightly contracted.
Without hesitation.
He immediately picked up a Divine Kingdom Fragment for examination.
After a long time.
Yun Xiu put the Divine Kingdom Fragment down, with a bit of regret and relief on his face.
Initially, he thought.
That all five Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments were second-level.
Only after inspection did he discover they were merely first-level.
It makes sense.
Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments are rare; second-level fragments are even more so.
Having so many first-level Divine Kingdom Fragments is already quite difficult; if they were all second-level, it would be extraordinarily remarkable.
However.
Even first-level is enough to astonish him.
For a time.
Yun Xiu contemplated, having a rough guess about Shen Changqing’s identity.
Six Divine Kingdom Fragments.
Acquiring them is no easy feat.
Recently, only the Beiyue Clan’s faction and various clans involved in warfare have Divine King-level powerhouses who have fallen; otherwise, no other Divine Kings have perished.
Thus obtaining so many Divine Kingdom Fragments is likely from these circumstances.
Hence.
The person’s identity before him seems likely to be a strong figure from one of the clans.
Yet.
Yun Xiu’s guesses are his own and not entirely certain.
After all, Divine Kings’ demise results in Divine Kingdom Fragments scattering to all corners of the void; not only the two factions’ cultivators may acquire them, even those observing secretly or wandering the void might have chances.
"Five first-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments, I can offer eleven Sun and Moon Divine Crystals for each, whereas a typical sale might fetch at most ten Sun and Moon Divine Crystals for first-level fragments.
Regarding the second-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragment, according to your terms, Yunyan Pavilion will purchase it for forty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals, are you satisfied?"
Yun Xiu contemplated briefly and proposed what he believed a reasonable price.
No other choice.
Five first-level Sun and Moon Divine Kingdom Fragments, along with one second-level fragment, represent a considerable transaction at Yunyan Pavilion.
Especially for himself, if he completes this deal, he will receive substantial benefits.
Offering a higher price.
At worst, the profit from single items might diminish slightly, but if the transaction succeeds, the overall commission will be substantial.
On the other hand.
Shen Changqing considered whether the offered price was reasonable.
Five Divine Kingdom Fragments.
Adding up to fifty-five Sun and Moon Divine Crystals.
Second-level Divine Kingdom Fragment, forty Sun and Moon Divine Crystals.
