1763 Slapped by Spiritual Stones (1/2)
”No problem! No problem at all!” Luo Shanhe's delight was written all over his face. He had not expected Chen Xiaobei to make such a high offer!
Like what Chen Xiaobei had explained, although the Giant Barbaric Tiger had Earth-God health and its pelt and bones akin to Earth-God material, they were not actual Earth-God materials. When made into instruments, they would be devoid of Earth-God abilities.
That was why, in the market, an entire Giant Barbaric Tiger carcass was valued no more than 300 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones.
Chen Xiaobei had offered to pay 500 million!
That was way beyond Luo Shanhe's expectations!
500 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones was equivalent to 5 trillion low-grade Spiritual Stones! Even the royalties of the Nine Zones would not be able to cough up so many Spiritual Stones in one breath!
For Saint Duke, this would mean being able to equip a company of 3 million soldiers with the best weapons in all of the Nine Zones!
Luo Shanhe himself even began to question if Chen Xiaobei was indeed a Tenshou spy!
Spending such an amount would mean completely emptying the Tenshou's s exchequer and still owing a sum!
If Chen Xiaobei was the enemy's spy, why would he be willing to hand over such a large number of Spiritual Stones to the adversary? That would be extremely irrational and foolish!
”Eighth Wangye! How could you believe such sacrilegious bullshit? Don't you think you're being a little too naïve?” Helian Tulong scowled. ”Even I would have to borrow from my family's fortune to pay 500 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones! How could this kid's backup compare to our family?”
”I…” The excitement on Luo Shanhe's face was instantly wiped off. ”Childe Chen! You're not joking about paying 500 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones, are you?”
Clearly, between Chen Xiaobei and Helian Tulong, Luo Shanhe was more inclined to trust the latter.
In his subconscious mind, he had already pre-conceived that Helian Tulong was the default Fuma, and Chen Xiaobei was just a wretched Tenshou spy!
Luo Shanhe was now unconvinced that Chen Xiaobei could pay Saint Duke the 500 million medium-grade Spiritual Stones he promised.
In spite of knives pointed at him, Chen Xiaobei did not bother to justify himself. He waved a hand and thousands of Spiritual Stones came pouring out of his Infinite Space Ring!
The stones were as big as a fist, crystal clear and trickling with Spiritual Qi that was denser and purer than those of medium-grade Spiritual Stones!
”Good heavens… That… Those… Those are high-grade Spiritual Stones!”
The people in the hall exclaimed.
Feng Chongwu and Yun Changxiao held their breaths.
”High-grade Spiritual Stones! These are genuine, honest-to-goodness high-grade Spiritual Stones!” Luo Shanhe's cried in excitement. ”Childe Zhufeng! You… You're too generous! This sum of Spiritual Stones means a lot to us! It could even help us turn the war situation around!”
Chen Xiaobei made no further comment and said, ”There are 50,000 high-grade Spiritual Stones over here. You can count them, Eighth Wangye!”
”Oh… Alright…”
Luo Shanhe kept the Spiritual Stones in his storage bracelet and before confirming the sum through a Spiritual Connection.
