"What price do you think is suitable?" the owner of the furnace asked hesitantly.
"Your furnace's quality is indeed higher than a seven-star furnace. It can be preserved until now because of the special materials used in it. However, it's not higher than a seven-star furnace, so I can only offer 230 million at most!" Wang Teng said after some consideration.
"230 million. That's only an extra 30 million." The martial artist shook his head. "I can't accept this price. I feel that this furnace is not ordinary."
"Are you the alchemist or am I the alchemist? What's the use of your feelings?" Wang Teng said angrily.
The martial artist's face turned red. "250 million. If that's not enough, I'd rather spend more effort to bring it back to Earth Star and show it to the appraisers of other companies."
Wang Teng seemed to hesitate.
"Forget it. Money doesn't come from nowhere. This person looks like a layman. What's the point of adding another 20 million?" Wan Baiqiu was speechless.
"I don't think so too. 20 million can buy a lot of things," Han Zhu said.
Both of them were used to being poor and were very careful with their spending. They could split one dollar into two, let alone 20 million.
"I like this furnace, but like what my friends said, I can't spend 20 million for nothing …" Wang Teng shook his head in disappointment.
"Let's go."
The three of them turned and prepared to leave.
Suddenly, the other party's voice came from behind. "240 million!"
Wang Teng stopped in his tracks.
Seeing that he was still tempted, Han Zhu and Wan Baiqiu quickly pulled him out of the door.
Seeing this, the martial artist gave up struggling and shouted, "You win!
"You win, you win! Two hundred and thirty million it is!"
Outside the door, Wang Teng's lips curled into a smile. He immediately restrained himself and said, "You should have done this earlier. Why do you have to do this?"
"Young man, this is a huge loss for me," the martial artist said miserably.
"Come on, you're already making a profit at this price. Even if you sell it on Earth Star, you might not be able to get such a price," Wang Teng said.
"It's because of this uncertainty that I decided to sell it to you," the warrior said.
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. Can I use Origin Stones to trade?" Wang Teng said.
"Yes, yes, Origin Stones would be best." The warrior nodded repeatedly.
Wang Teng scanned the area with his consciousness power, then pulled out twenty-three thousand low-grade, Yellow-tier Origin Stones from his interspatial ring and handed them over.
The transaction was complete!
Wang Teng took the cauldron and left with Han Zhu and the others.
…
As soon as Wang Teng and the others left, the three martial artists all revealed smiles.
"You're really something. Tao Bao offered 180 million, and you immediately raised the price to 200 million. In the end, you sold it for 230 million. These young people are so gullible."
"Hahaha, I originally thought that selling it for 200 million would be the best. I didn't expect that the fish would automatically take the bait and even earn an additional 30 million."
"Treat, treat, treat. I can't not treat you."
"Let's go. Let's have a meal made by a Spirit Chef Master tonight. It's my treat."
…
"I feel like I'm at a disadvantage. These independent martial artists are all old foxes," Wan Baiqiu said on the way.
"It's hard to say who's at a disadvantage." Wang Teng smiled mysteriously.
"You mean …" Han Zhu said in surprise.
"Could it be that the cauldron is a good item and is worth more than that?" Wan Baiqiu's eyes lit up as she whispered.
"Hahaha, of course it's a good item. Fortunately, you two worked together seamlessly. Otherwise, I would have to spend more money. Those three martial artists are indeed old foxes. They won't act unless there's an incentive," Wang Teng said with a smile.
"…"
The two of them were dumbfounded.
Why did this result seem a little strange?
They really thought that Wang Teng would be at a disadvantage, but it seemed like the three old foxes were the ones who were at a disadvantage.
Wang Teng had kept them in the dark.
This fellow is indeed cunning!
"Tell me, tell me. What's so special about that cauldron?" Wan Baiqiu was very curious and urged him.
"That cauldron is at least a 9-star," Wang Teng said with a smile.
"Damn, you've made a killing." Han Zhu's eyes widened.
If it was a 9-star cauldron, then the price would be more than 400 million. It's hard to say who's at a disadvantage.
If that martial artist knew that Wang Teng had taken advantage of him, he would probably vomit blood in anger.
After that, Wang Teng didn't have the mood to walk around anymore. After returning to his dormitory, he took out the cauldron and sat down cross-legged. He activated the fire Force in his body to form a flame.
The cauldron floated in the air under the support of the fire Force.
Flames rose from the bottom of the cauldron and enveloped the entire cauldron.
As the flames burned, the fiery cloud patterns on the surface of the black cauldron suddenly lit up with a scarlet glow. The rust on it slowly fell off …
After more than an hour, a brand new cauldron appeared in the middle of the room.
The fiery cloud patterns on the surface of the black cauldron seemed to be burning. They sometimes formed into the shape of a dragon, sometimes a phoenix … It was as if a mythical creature was coiling around the cauldron. It was lifelike and looked extraordinary.
"It's really this cauldron!"
Wang Teng couldn't bear to part with it as he walked one round around the furnace. Now, he was finally certain that this was the furnace he knew about. His eyes shone with surprise and joy.
His alchemy skills mainly came from the alchemists in the Other World. Among the knowledge he obtained, there were some introductions about cauldrons. After all, cauldrons were essential to alchemists.
A good cauldron could often help them increase the success rate of alchemy.
When he introduced the cauldron to the three martial artists earlier, it wasn't just to fool them. It was also the truth.
High-grade cauldrons had all kinds of uses. They could only be found by chance.
However, he encountered one today.
This was definitely luck!
This cauldron was called 'Black Meteorite'. It was an extremely famous cauldron in the Xingwu Continent.
According to the knowledge in Wang Teng's memory, there were more than ten legendary cauldrons in the Xingwu Continent since ancient times.
These cauldrons all had extraordinary origins and experiences.
Without exception, all of them had once followed a grandmaster-level alchemist and were their personal alchemy furnaces.
After a few rounds, some of them disappeared in history. Some of them still existed. However, these cauldrons were either in the hands of alchemy aristocratic families or in the hands of alchemy grandmasters.
After all, they were the only ones who could keep such treasures.
The Black Meteorite Cauldron in front of him was one of the more than ten cauldrons. It was formed from meteoric iron that fell into the lava of a volcano. After countless years of calcination, it had a strange flame power. Later, it was obtained by someone and finally fell into the hands of a legendary blacksmith who forged it into this Black Meteorite Cauldron.
The Black Meteorite Cauldron once followed five grandmaster alchemists. However, 1,500 years ago, with the accidental death of its last owner, this cauldron disappeared.
Many alchemists had searched everywhere for it, but to no avail.
Who would have thought that today, 1,000 years later, it would be dug up by a few martial artists from Earth Star and fall into the hands of Wang Teng?
When luck came, it was impossible to stop it!
