Chapter 2559: Soul Elemental Crystal! The Despair Of The Ti Brothers And Le Yan! Fight! (3)
“This, however, poses some difficulty in pricing. If taken to auction, a soul elemental crystal like this could fetch an astronomical price,” Appraiser Mesfield frowned and said hesitatingly.
“Fret not, you set the price. I understand,” w.a.n.g Teng said.
“Very well!” Appraiser Mesfield pondered for a moment and continued, “Once, at an auction, I saw a soul elemental crystal roughly one-fifth the size of yours. It fetched a staggering 3,600 Chaos Coins. By that measure, yours, considering its size, would fetch at least 18,000 Chaos Coins!”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but cast a sympathetic glance at the Ti brothers and others present.
The Ti brothers’ faces paled instantly at the revelation, staggering backward and supporting each other, the epitome of dismayed siblings.
18,000 Chaos Coins!
This was dire news!
Even Tai Lu’s expression s.h.i.+fted slightly, utterly surprised by the unprecedented value of the soul elemental crystal.
That was a hefty sum of Chaos Coins. Even if they pooled all their resources, they wouldn’t come close to affording it.
Even for the major families, such a substantial amount of Chaos Coins would surely cause some distress.
“Gasp!”
Meanwhile, those around them gasped in astonishment as if they had just heard something utterly unbelievable.
The price was simply astronomical!
If they remembered correctly, Grandmaster w.a.n.g Teng had only spent 20 billion UC on this piece of ore.
On the other side, Old Ji, clutching his chest, was panting heavily, on the verge of fainting.
At first, he sold it for 25 billion UC and purposely cut down 5 billion UC, only to discover it was worth 18,000 Chaos Coins.
Splurt!
Old Ji almost spat blood.
The elder Song Ling looked at him strangely. He wanted to say something but didn’t.
He felt that whatever he said would only add salt to the wound.
“But…” Appraiser Mesfield suddenly brought about a twist, causing Le Yan, Ti Du, and the others to perk up.
“But what?” Le Yan inquired.
“The value of a soul elemental crystal cannot be simply calculated based on its size. Generally speaking, the larger the volume, the purer and more majestic the soul power contained within the soul elemental crystal, so its value is bound to be higher,” Appraiser Mesfield said slowly.
“Pfft!” Ti Jing and Ti Du felt like a dagger had pierced their chests, almost spewing out a mouthful of blood.
“Would you, young friend, consider selling this soul elemental crystal for 25,000 Chaos Coins?” At that moment, a gentle voice sounded nearby.
Everyone was shocked. They looked at the person who spoke.
It was a middle-aged man dressed in white robes. He appeared calm on the surface, but his eyes were exceptionally deep, like containing a piece of the starry sky.
“Eternal-stage existence!” Many immediately recognized the ident.i.ty of this middle-aged man, who turned out to be an eternal-stage powerhouse.
w.a.n.g Teng’s heart stirred as he looked at the newcomer. He had antic.i.p.ated that someone would speak up, but he hadn’t expected it to happen so quickly, and from an eternal-stage powerhouse, no less.
Facing such a presence, he had to be cautious.
Fortunately, he had support behind him, so there was nothing to worry about. “25,000 Chaos Coins!” Ti Jing and Ti Du’s faces turned pale. They felt utterly defeated.
If it were an ordinary person making an offer, they might have argued back due to their pride, but in the face of an eternal-stage existence, even with three times the courage, they wouldn’t dare.
At this moment, the two of them were utterly speechless.
“I’m very sincere. Young friend, please consider it carefully,” the eternal-stage being in the moon-white robe said with a smile.
“I offer 28,000 Chaos Coins.” Before w.a.n.g Teng could speak, another figure stepped forward, speaking calmly.
It was a stern-faced old man, dressed in a green robe exuding a chilling aura, deterring anyone from approaching.
The eternal-stage being in the moon-white robe glanced at the other and said, “29,000 Chaos Coins!”
“30,000 Chaos Coins!” The elder in a green robe said.
“31,000 Chaos Coins!”
“32,000 Chaos Coins!”

The two faced off, engaging in a bidding war as if there were no one else around.
w.a.n.g Teng’s eyes sparkled with excitement. He had underestimated the value of this soul elemental crystal. It had just been priced at 18,000 Chaos Coins, and now, in the blink of an eye, it had skyrocketed to 32,000 Chaos Coins.
As Appraiser Mesfield had said, the value of this soul elemental crystal couldn’t simply be determined by its size alone.
Ti Jing and Ti Du felt miserable. Watching the two eternal-stage beings continually raise the price, they felt as though their hearts were bleeding. The increased bids were all coming out of their pockets.
They wished they could stop the two eternal-stage beings immediately, but they dared not.
Le Yan’s lips trembled incessantly, her delicate body almost unable to stand. If it weren’t for Sang Yi supporting her, this beauty from the Leyan family might have collapsed to the ground.
“I’m such a fool!” Le Yan looked at Sang Yi, her eyes br.i.m.m.i.n.g with tears. “I really am!”
“Why did I agree to change the bet with him???”
“Maybe… you should… sell yourself?” Sang Yi hesitated for a moment, suggesting.
Suddenly, she felt a sense of relief. Fortunately, she was only here to help. This bet had nothing to do with her. Otherwise, it would have been too tragic…
