"This …" The stall owner looked at Jianchen's face and hesitated slightly. Although the stall owner knew that the strange stone was definitely something special, he really did not know what it was used for. In order to understand the origins of the stone, he had looked through a few books regarding rare treasures, but he still failed to find an answer. He had even asked many of his good friends, but they were all for naught. After thinking about it again and again, he finally made up his mind to sell the stone.
It was just a pity that basically no one on the Tian Yuan Continent knew the use of the strange stone. Although there were many people who were curious about the stone in the few months he had set up the stall and wanted to buy it, all of them immediately put down the stone and left when they heard the price. This was because the stall owner knew that the stone was definitely something special. Even though he did not know what it was used for, he still wanted to sell it for a good price. As a result, many people gave up on buying the stone without any hesitation when they heard the price.
The stall owner was undecided when Jianchen asked about the price of the stone. He really did need a large sum of money right now. It could be said that the stone was the only thing on him that could earn him a certain amount of money. If the price was too high, he was worried that Jianchen would immediately put down the stone and leave like everyone else. If the price was too low, the stall owner would be unwilling to give up. As a result, the stall owner was conflicted when Jianchen asked about the price. He had no idea what price to change.
After hesitating for quite a while, the stall owner finally said, "Brother, if you've really taken an interest in this strange stone, just name a price."
Jianchen stared at the stall owner with interest. He gently smiled, "You should be the one selling the item. Logically speaking, you should be the one to name the price. Why do I have to name the price?"
The stall owner became slightly embarrassed when he heard that. He bitterly smiled, "Brother, it's not that I don't want to name the price, but I'm afraid that I'll scare you once I name the price. There have been many people who were interested in this stone in the past, but as soon as they heard the price, they didn't even discuss it. They just put down the stone and left."
"Oh, then how much do you think this stone is worth?" Jianchen became interested and asked. In his heart, he had already made up his mind to buy the stone. Although he didn't know what the white stone was for, it was definitely something extraordinary since it could cause the two specks of light in his dantian to react strangely. Perhaps the stone could even resolve the two specks of light in his dantian.
Therefore, Jianchen was determined to get the stone.
The stall owner looked at Jianchen's expression, then clenched his teeth and said, "Brother, if you're really interested in this stone, I'll sell it to you at a cheaper price. What do you think about this price?" As he spoke, the stall owner stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
Seeing the stall owner's actions, Jianchen's eyes revealed a trace of ridicule. He then said in an uncertain tone, "Could it be fifty gold coins?"
Hearing this, the stall owner's face turned red. The price that Jianchen named was worlds apart from the price that he had in mind.
The stall owner sighed helplessly and said, "Brother, I won't beat around the bush with you. Let's be frank. I'm selling this stone for five hundred purple coins. Do you want it?" As he spoke, the stall owner stared at Jianchen.
"What! Five hundred purple coins! Are you kidding me?! " Jianchen exclaimed in a low voice. He stared at the stall owner in disbelief, especially the three words "purple coins". Jianchen especially emphasized it. Five hundred purple coins was equivalent to fifty thousand gold coins.
The stall owner's face turned slightly red. From Jianchen's expression, the stall owner understood that he couldn't sell the stone for five hundred purple coins.
"This … This … Brother, I think you should name a price. If the price is acceptable to me, I can sell it to you." The stall owner said bitterly.
Jian Chen sucked in a deep breath when he heard that. Afterwards, he studied the strange, white rock in his hand again. He became hesitant.
After a while, Jianchen seemed to have finally made up his mind. He said, "I'll give you a hundred purple coins at most. It's up to you whether you want to sell it or not." As he spoke, Jianchen stared at the stall owner. In his heart, he was also nervous. Although Jianchen was determined to get this stone, it would be best if he could buy it at a cheap price. Moreover, a hundred purple coins was not a small sum for a small mercenary like the stall owner.
Moreover, Jianchen could tell that the stall owner, who was only in his thirties, was a smart person. He definitely could not show that he was determined to get the stone. Once the stall owner saw through it, no one could guarantee that the stall owner would not ask for a sky-high price.
Moreover, there was another reason. Jianchen could not reveal that he possessed too much money. Otherwise, there would be quite a few people who would come looking for trouble on the treacherous Tian Yuan Continent. Although Jianchen did not fear Saint Masters with his current strength, it was still best to avoid trouble like this as much as possible.
Hearing that Jianchen was willing to pay a hundred purple coins for the stone, the stall owner's eyes immediately filled with joy. However, he quickly hid it and pretended to be troubled. He muttered, "Brother, do you think you can add a point?"
Jianchen faintly smiled and gently shook his head. Jianchen could clearly see the joy in the stall owner's eyes.
Seeing that Jianchen was not willing to increase the price, the stall owner's eyes filled with disappointment. He clenched his teeth and thought about it. In the end, he firmly nodded his head, "Alright, a hundred purple coins it is. Deal!"
Afterwards, Jianchen directly pulled out a large amount of purple coins from his Space Belt. He counted a hundred of them and directly tossed them to the stall owner. At the same time, he placed the strange white stone into his own Space Belt and immediately left.
Although Jianchen really wanted to study the use of the strange white stone, it was clearly not a good place to do so in a crowded street.
However, as soon as Jian Chen left, two people immediately noticed him. The two of them were young men in their twenties, and they were skinny.
"Lil 'Three, looks like we've come across a fat sheep today."
The skinny young man on the left stared in the direction Jianchen had left in. He spoke in a low voice with a hint of excitement in his voice.
