Chapter 61: Negotiating the Price (1)

Hearing this.

Luo Li first stretched out one of her fair and tender hands, then the other. She said carefully, “”A little more than 100,000 spirit stones.”

Hearing this.

Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief.

Enough!

100,000 spirit stones would do!

The Chen Clan still had 2,000 Spiritual Stones in their treasury. With the addition of the 100,000 Spiritual Stones, it was enough to nurture a Spiritual Vein for the Chen Clan.

Thinking of this, Chen Daoxuan said in a relaxed tone,”” Of course, no problem. May I know what kind of spirit ores Miss Luo has brought?”

Seeing that Chen Daoxuan wasn’t angry, and instead had a friendly and easy-going look on his face.

Luo Li’s impression of him grew, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Her red lips parted slightly, and a melodious song came out of her little mouth.

Very quickly.

One by one, mermen emerged from the sea. They were the subordinates that Luo Li had brought along.

Just like last time, these mermen were all holding huge white shells.

The white shell contained spirit stones, spirit ores, spirit pearls, and other rare treasures.

Luo Li turned around and clapped her hands at the merfolk in the sea. The merfolk lined up and opened the white shells in their hands.

In the next second, spiritual light shot out from the surface of the sea, dazzling everyone’s eyes.

Looking at the spirit stones and spirit mines in front of him, Chen Daoxuan felt his blood surge, and his face turned slightly red.

Luo Li’s pretty face could not help but reveal a trace of pride when she saw his good-for-nothing look. At least she did not have to feel embarrassed about her earlier loss of composure.

At the thought of this, Luo Li happily introduced, “”This is the tenth water essence gold you mentioned last time. This is the stone that our clansmen have mined the most recently.”

Chen Daoxuan looked in the direction of Luo Li’s finger.

The fist-sized tenth water refined gold ores were piled up in the white shells, emitting a shocking spiritual aura.

” This is another kind of stone we found at the bottom of the sea,” Luo Li continued to explain.

“Red Copper Ore!”

To Chen Daoxuan, whose family once owned a red copper mine, he was very familiar with this kind of spirit mine.

As a level one spirit ore, the red copper ore was widely distributed in the Infinite Star Sea and the Celestial Cloud Continent, second only to the dark iron ore.

Chen Daoxuan wasn’t too surprised that there was such a spirit ore at the bottom of the sea.

“Yes, it’s the red copper mine!”

Luo Li nodded.” This kind of cuprite is the raw material for your weapons, right?”

Even though the merfolk did not know how to refine artifacts, they still had the ability to distinguish spirituality. After all, they also had divine senses.

“Yes.”

Chen Daoxuan nodded without hiding anything.

Luo Li nodded in satisfaction at his sincere attitude and said, “”Since this stone is the raw material for your weapons, its price should be very high, right? Tell me, how much should it be worth?”

Luo Li immediately put on a money-grubber look.

Chen Daoxuan frowned.” In Guang ‘an Prefecture, the price of red copper ore is three spiritual stones per catty. What price do you think is suitable for me? ”

“All?”

Luo Li was dumbfounded when she heard the price.

How could this be? Tenth Water Pure Gold could be exchanged for a weapon with just a few pieces.

Why was this stone so cheap? The price difference between the two was dozens of times.

This made Luo Li wonder if Chen Daoxuan was lying to her.

Seeing that Luo Li was silent, Chen Daoxuan coughed and explained, “Miss Luo Li, do you know how difficult it is for us humans to refine a weapon? ”

As he spoke, he sighed.” Even this lowest-grade first-tier flying sword requires a cultivator like me, who is proficient in weapon refinement, to spend a full seven days to complete.

It shouldn’t be so hard for your merfolk clan to mine, right?”

“What?”

Upon hearing that it would take seven days to refine a weapon, Luo Li was speechless.

This was too tiring!

In that case, it was much easier for their clansmen to mine.

At the thought of this, Luo Li felt a little embarrassed.

After all, she also knew that digging stones did not require much skill. It was just physical work.

Unlike the female mermen, the male mermen did not know how to raise spirit shells. The male mermen did not know anything except for their silly strength.

In this way, their merfolk clan only needed to put in a little effort to exchange for the Chen family’s weapons. It was simply a huge profit.

Chen Daoxuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Li’s guilty expression.

What a close call. This girl had actually been enlightened!

He had deliberately ignored the value of the spirit ore itself and shifted the perspective of value to the labor that both parties had contributed.

It could be said to be a kind of sophistry.

Fortunately, Luo Li did not notice anything amiss.

Perhaps in Luo Li’s eyes, this kind of broken stone had no value in the first place.

The spiritual pearls produced by their spiritual shells could at least decorate the cave.

What was the use of this broken stone? She couldn’t be eaten or used, and she was ugly.

If not for Chen Daoxuan specifically asking for these lousy stones, the merfolk clan would not have put them in their eyes at all.

As if feeling guilty for suspecting Chen Daoxuan, Luo Li’s tone became gentler.

“This is the greatest specialty of our merfolk clan-Water Spirit Pearl.”

Luo Li pointed at the Water Spirit Pearl in the hands of her clansmen, and her tone suddenly became sorrowful.

Chen Daoxuan knew that the merfolk clan had been persecuted by the Zhou family for hundreds of years because of this Water Spirit Pearl.

Regarding this matter, Chen Daoxuan could not say anything to persuade him.

After all, he and the Zhou family were both humans. It was already reasonable for Luo Li not to hate Wu Jiwu and hate him.

“I wonder how much this Water Spirit Pearl is worth?”

Luo Li raised her head and looked at Chen Daoxuan.

After pondering for a while, Chen Daoxuan looked at Luo Li’s eyes and said carefully,”” The price of a Level 1 Water Spirit Pearl in Guang ‘an Prefecture is 50 Spiritual Stones per pearl. 1 wonder what price Miss Luo is willing to give me?”

Since he said 50 spiritual stones, Luo Li would definitely not be able to offer a price higher than that.

In fact, although the Zhou family sold Water Spirit Pearls for 50 spirit stones each, ordinary itinerant cultivators and disciples of small families had no way to buy them.

This kind of treasure that could assist cultivation had long been decided by the major families of Guang ‘an Prefecture and even the other prefectures of Cangzhou.

Even if some leftovers were to end up in the hands of itinerant cultivators, they would usually be sold at a high price.

For example, Chen Daoxuan had spent double the price to buy a few Water Spirit Pearls at the wandering cultivator market.

On the other hand, when Luo Li heard that ten Water Spirit Pearls could be exchanged for a weapon, she could not help but feel uneasy about the terrifying price.

She stammered and could not speak for a long time.

Actually, she wanted to say that it was 50 spirit stones, but after hearing that Chen Daoxuan had spent seven days forging a weapon, she was shocked.

The merfolk clan could exchange for it with a mere ten spiritual pearls. Luo Li’s conscience made her very uneasy.

After a long time.

Luo Li, who was struggling internally, raised her head and said solemnly, “”Chen Daoxuan, you are a person with a conscience. Since your Chen family treats my merfolk clan sincerely, we can’t go against our conscience to earn your money.

We’ll sell you these Water Spirit Pearls for ten spirit stones each.”

Hearing this price, Chen Daoxuan almost lost his balance and fell off the stone bench..
