Chapter 1149: Chapter 776: The Best of Both Worlds_2 Chapter 1149: Chapter 776: The Best of Both Worlds_2 So many spirit stones.

The benefits that could bring to True Monarch Wen Zhu were simply too great, too immense.

So immense that at this moment, True Monarch Wen Zhu even began to envision the scene when he would meet He Song and True Monarch Ruo Yun again after his breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm.

According to True Monarch Wen Zhu’s thoughts,

If that day really comes,

He feared that both He Song and True Monarch Ruo Yun would harbor good feelings towards him because of today’s events.

By then, the relationship between the three of them might also differ from today.

With such thoughts, the excitement in True Monarch Wen Zhu’s heart grew more intense.

His gaze towards He Song also quickly took on a hint of determination.

He,

truly wanted to seize this opportunity to step into the Golden Core Realm,

to see the scenery of the Golden Core Realm for himself.

As True Monarch Wen Zhu began to speak,

He Song, upon hearing his words, also had many thoughts flashing through his mind.

About what True Monarch Wen Zhu had said, there was a hint of helplessness in He Song’s heart.

Unaware of the price?

Asking He Song to make an offer himself?

If he found the price acceptable, to agree to it right away?

Once these words were out,

He Song knew that the True Monarch Wen Zhu before him definitely knew the price of the Void Stone.

Moreover, right after True Monarch Wen Zhu spoke these words,

True Monarch Ruo Yun, who had been sitting next to He Song, also at this moment, silently communicated with He Song through divine sense.

“The price of Void Stones is generally around three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones,”

“Fellow Daoist, this True Monarch Wen Zhu before you actually knows the price.”

“Fellow Daoist, just make an offer as you see fit.”

“However, don’t go too low…”

The divine sense communications between the two Golden Elixir Masters were naturally undetectable by True Monarch Wen Zhu, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, there was not the slightest hint of surprise on True Monarch Wen Zhu’s face.

Only after the communication had finished,

did True Monarch Ruo Yun glance at He Song and discreetly nod.

Upon seeing this, He Song instantly understood the thoughts of True Monarch Ruo Yun, as well as True Monarch Wen Zhu’s intentions.

True Monarch Ruo Yun had nothing much to say,

Such communication was merely to inform He Song not to be too harsh when bargaining,

Otherwise, this matter could truly affect the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion.

Besides that, there was nothing more.

As for True Monarch Wen Zhu,

from what he had expressed in his words,

the meaning of True Monarch Wen Zhu’s proposal was very clear, that was for He Song to make an offer.

As long as it was not too low, he would naturally sell the Void Stone in his possession to He Song.

Flashing through these thoughts and fully realizing the implications behind the words of True Monarch Ruo Yun and True Monarch Wen Zhu,

He Song also felt a slight helplessness regarding what the two had in mind.

The seller hoped to keep the price somewhat lower.

While the intermediary by his side wished for He Song to offer a bit higher.

Caught between the two, He Song naturally found it somewhat tricky.

However, after some thought, He Song developed a new idea regarding the matter.

Void Stones were expensive.

Based on He Song’s knowledge, about three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones were their true value.

And for that reason, when True Monarch Ruo Yun advised He Song not to bid too low through divine sense, the price He Song offered would inevitably not be far below three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

After all, the Treasure Pavilion also had a reputation to maintain.

Such deliberate underbidding, even though True Monarch Wen Zhu would not dare to say much when facing both He Song and True Monarch Ruo Yun,

once the transaction was over, there would definitely be rumors spreading.

At that time, the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion might well suffer a considerable blow.

As such, He Song naturally could not offer an extremely low price.

But True Monarch Wen Zhu seemed to want He Song to haggle a bit,

Therefore, the price He Song was going to offer naturally also could not be too close to three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Otherwise, not only would He Song spend more spirit stones,

but he might also make True Monarch Wen Zhu feel that He Song was being impartial, not wanting any future involvement with him.

In such a situation, He Song naturally had to balance the two.

He couldn’t let either party feel that what he was doing was inappropriate.

With this thought in mind,

a price soon emerged in He Song’s mind.

Since both parties had objections,

it was best to take the midpoint.

That is, a number between three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones and two hundred and fifty thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Two hundred and seventy-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones then.

In this way, the price He Song offered was neither too far from, nor too close to, three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Moreover, this price was just a bit higher than the usual cost of a Void Stone.

Only in the presence of many people could the Void Stone sell for a price higher than two hundred and seventy-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Therefore, upon seeing this price, True Monarch Wen Zhu would not be disinclined to sell the Void Stone to He Song.

And True Monarch Ruo Yun,

could not possibly have any complaints about what He Song was proposing because of this price.

This price was the choice He Song had made after considering the reactions of both sides.

It wouldn’t make True Monarch Ruo Yun feel the price was too low,

nor would it make True Monarch Wen Zhu feel it was too high.

In this way, it could be said to satisfy both parties admirably.

Thinking this, He Song after further contemplation, ensuring there was nothing wrong with this price,

finally spoke.

“The price of this item is commonly between two hundred thousand to over three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones,”

“So, let’s consider the average price of the Void Stone to be three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones.”

“However, three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones is, after all, a sizable amount for me.”

“As I came in a hurry this time,

“I could only gather two hundred and seventy-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones from my entire fortune.”

“These spirit stones represent the totality of my current wealth.”

“As for the shortfall of twenty-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones,”

“would you be willing to trade with me for some Sound Transmission Amulets?”

“If you encounter any danger in the future or need my assistance, within my capacity, I can offer you help.”

“However, if you’re unwilling, I could also manage to produce three hundred thousand mid-grade spirit stones after selling some treasures.”

“What do you think, Fellow Daoist?”

Having said this, He Song’s gaze swept over True Monarch Ruo Yun standing by his side.

He saw a flash of admiration pass over Ruo Yun’s face.

On the other hand, upon hearing He Song’s words, True Monarch Wen Zhu’s expression went through several changes.

In truth, He Song wasn’t undervaluing the Void Stone of True Monarch Wen Zhu too excessively.

Instead, he was presenting its value with utmost fairness.

For this, both True Monarch Ruo Yun and True Monarch Wen Zhu knew it well in their hearts.

That’s why True Monarch Ruo Yun showed a look of admiration after hearing He Song’s quotation.

And True Monarch Wen Zhu, he was surprised but also held a tinge of admiration upon hearing He Song’s words.

From their first meeting, True Monarch Wen Zhu felt that He Song was different from other Golden Elixir Masters he had encountered before.

Other Golden Elixir Masters were often commanding and condescending, looking down on Foundation Establishment True Persons like him.

But what about He Song?

From their very first conversation, He Song had exhibited great demeanor, and even when faced with conflicts of interest, he now revealed no concealment of the facts.

Such actions naturally increased Wen Zhu’s favorable impression of him substantially.

And it also inspired admiration.

He Song was a man who sought truth from facts, and even when faced with conflicts of interest, he spoke the truth without any deception.

Such people are rare in the Cultivation World.

Under these circumstances, after hearing He Song’s words, True Monarch Wen Zhu’s good feelings towards him significantly increased.

And moreover, regarding the price He Song mentioned and the following matters, he harbored no doubt.

Since He Song had stated it,

his entire wealth amounted to nothing more than two hundred and seventy-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones.

Then, it must be that He Song had only these two hundred and seventy-five thousand mid-grade spirit stones on him.

Besides that, another matter mentioned by He Song also excited True Monarch Wen Zhu.
