"Was it really worth a million Gold Soul Coins?"
Ling Xiao swallowed hard. Looking at the empty wine bottle in his hand, he broke out in a cold sweat.
Jiang Ming thought for a moment before saying, "To be precise, it wasn't worth a million Gold Soul Coins, but several million! The bottle you're holding is made from the finest jade, and I set up several formations inside it to prevent the energy in the wine from leaking out. That bottle alone should be worth eight to ten thousand Gold Soul Coins."
"Ah?!"
Ling Xiao was completely dumbfounded.
An empty bottle was worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!
This was far beyond anything he could have imagined!
Yet judging by the bottle's texture and the faintly glowing formations inside it, he knew Jiang Ming probably had not lied to him. This bottle truly was worth ten thousand Gold Soul Coins!
Which meant that the wine in this bottle was genuinely, incredibly valuable!
The bottle alone cost ten thousand Gold Soul Coins, so it was perfectly normal for the wine itself to be worth millions!
"I'm done for! Why didn't you tell me sooner?!"
Ling Xiao felt as if his entire savings had evaporated. In just this short while, he had lost several million Gold Soul Coins!
Forget about losing his savings—he would probably be buried under debt!
Barely in his twenties, yet already owing several million Gold Soul Coins! His life was hopeless!
It felt like taking on a mortgage for a multimillion-dollar house at twenty. He might be able to afford the down payment, but from then on, he would have to work tirelessly to pay off the debt. There would be no hope left in life.
Of course, Ling Xiao was not truly in that dire a situation.
