Chapter 2316: Bargaining Too Hard

“five-colored mystic stone?”

The thin man’s voice wasn’t loud, but as soon as those four words left his mouth, it was like a clap of thunder, and everyone’s eyes immediately shot over.

Even Xiaoqing put down her game console and looked over.

Everyone knew Ye Bufan’s purpose in coming to Tianxing Empire Royal City was for this five-colored mystic stone. They didn’t expect to hear news so quickly, and their eyes were filled with eagerness.

Ye Bufan’s heart also trembled with excitement. If he got his hands on the stone, he would be one step closer to returning home.

“Of course!”

But he knew it wasn’t the time to show too much emotion. Suppressing his excitement, he stepped forward and said, “You have a five-colored mystic stone?”

“Of course. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be wasting my breath with you.”

The thin man had a cold and arrogant look. “Tell me, what price can you offer?”

Ye Bufan said, “To discuss the price, we should first see the item. What kind of five-colored mystic stone is it? What grade is it? How big is it? Only then can I make an offer.”

“You can examine it, you can touch it, but you can’t take it from my hand!”

The thin man finished speaking and stretched out a hand, and a colorful stone appeared in his palm.

This was a stone slightly smaller than a volleyball, perfectly round, with five colors: red, orange, yellow, green, and purple, looking extremely striking.

Moreover, the stone itself continuously emitted a mystic power, so even an ordinary person could feel its extraordinary nature.

“Oh my goodness, is this the five-colored mystic stone? It’s truly beautiful…”

“I heard this thing is a treasure, but it’s a pity it’s not mine, otherwise I’d be rich…”

“I heard this thing is very expensive. How much is such a large piece worth…”

In front of the Gu Yi Men Clinic, the crowd watching the excitement had not completely dispersed, and gasps of surprise erupted when they saw the five-colored mystic stone.

Ye Bufan’s Divine Sense swept over it, instantly seeing through the stone, and then his pupils contracted.

After a brief pause, the man coldly asked, “Have you seen it clearly? What price can you offer?”

Ye Bufan said, “What price do you want?”

“Twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones!”

As soon as the thin man’s words came out, there was another uproar from the surroundings.

Twenty million High-Grade Spirit Stones, this price had exceeded everyone’s imagination. Some people had never even dreamed of so much money.

Everyone knew that the five-colored mystic stone was very valuable, but they didn’t expect it to reach such a level.

Nalan Yujia, Lu Xueman, and the others also couldn’t help but gasp.

They were also aware of Ye Bufan’s financial situation. His previous Spirit Stones hadn’t been touched, but even combined, they were only a little over fifteen million, far from reaching twenty million.

“Twenty million? Why don’t you just rob me?”

Ye Bufan frowned. “Take it back. I can’t afford this.”

“Young man, this is a five-colored mystic stone, not ordinary cabbage. How could it be cheap?”

When discussing the price, the other party’s expression seemed less cold than before, softening a bit.

“Since you’ve come, it’s fate between us. Tell me, how much can you offer?”

Ye Bufan said, “I’ll offer one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones.”

After his words, there was another commotion from the surroundings.

The previous price of twenty million was too high, shocking them, but now Ye Bufan only offered one hundred thousand, which was too low.

After all, buying something worth twenty million with one hundred thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones was too great a discrepancy.

Jiang Fangzhou and the others also secretly clicked their tongues, thinking that their boss was too ruthless with his bargaining.

The thin man’s expression changed: “Are you joking with me?”

Ye Bufan’s expression was calm: “Of course, I’m not joking. This stone of yours is only worth this price!”

The thin man took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm the anger in his heart.

“To be honest with you, I urgently need money right now, which is why I’m selling this five-colored mystic stone. Otherwise, even if you gave me thirty million, I wouldn’t sell it. This is a priceless treasure!

How about this, I’ll lower the price a bit more, fifteen million. I can’t go any lower.”

Hearing this new offer, the people around secretly praised, this Young man is calm indeed, in the blink of an eye, he made the other party voluntarily drop the price by five million.

In some people’s eyes, Ye Bufan should be satisfied with this result, or at least raise the price a bit.

It’s bargaining, if they lower it a bit, you should raise it a bit.

But to everyone’s surprise, Ye Bufan held up a palm: “Fifty thousand!”

“Uh…”

Everyone present felt their worldview shatter. It was the first time they had seen bargaining like this; as the other person lowered the price, he also lowered it.

“You…”

The thin man’s face grew even uglier. “Young man, don’t be too overbearing. Although I’m in urgent need of money, you can’t be without a bottom line!”

Ye Bufan smiled faintly: “I think your stone is only worth this much. Fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones, no more.”

The thin man seemed to have made a huge decision: “I’ll say this one last time, I bought this stone at the Jubao Pavilion auction for ten million.

Now I’m selling it to you for ten million. I’m not making a profit, but I can’t lose money. If you still don’t agree, I’ll have to leave now.”

“So this is the five-colored mystic stone that was sold a while ago. I heard about it, and it was indeed ten million…”

“Buying at the original price and selling at the original price, this price is not expensive, after all, this is a treasure, and you might not be able to buy it even if you have money…”

“Young man, the price has been haggled enough, know when to stop…”

Seeing that the two of them were not at loggerheads and had no intention of fighting, the onlookers grew much bolder, slowly approaching the entrance, some even starting to offer advice.

Hu Yaoyao gently tugged at the back of Ye Bufan’s clothes, implying that this price was about right.

But he showed no intention of changing, still speaking with a firm tone: “Fifty thousand High-Grade Spirit Stones. If you agree, leave it here. If not, take it with you!”

“Uh…”

They didn’t expect that even after the price had been haggled down so much, the other party still wouldn’t agree. Everyone present was somewhat surprised.

Even the people on the clinic’s side showed astonished expressions. They were very clear about Ye Bufan’s desire for this stone, so why was he rejecting it now that it was being offered?

Jiang Fangzhou swallowed his saliva. Could it be that the boss wanted to extort it, not wanting to spend a single penny, and just snatch this stone? But that’s not his style!

“So you have no sincerity at all. In that case, I apologize, but I’ll take my leave!”

The thin man was completely enraged and turned to leave without another word.

Ye Bufan remained standing there calmly, showing no intention of stopping him.

Just as the man was about to walk out of the crowd, a joyful exclamation suddenly came from outside: “Is that a five-colored mystic stone? Could you let this old man have a look?”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a white-haired elder striding along the long street, his gaze fixed on the stone in the thin man’s hand.

“Isn’t that Grandmaster Li?”

“Which Grandmaster Li?”

“Who else but Grandmaster Li, Kunlun Divine Smith Lu Chaozong’s Personal Disciple, Artifact Refining Great Master Li Muyang!”

There were many people around, and eventually, someone recognized the white-haired elder.

Amidst the exclamations of the crowd, Li Muyang strode up to the thin man: “Brother, may this old man borrow the stone in your hand for a look?”
