"Four hundred?!" King Lingyue sprang to his feet, his face turning livid. "Tu Ming! Do you know what four hundred years' worth of second-grade immortal-qi discs means?"
My expression remained utterly calm as I looked at him. "King Lingyue, I'm giving you a second-grade immortal-qi disc worth four hundred years. Forget forging an identical warship—even if you only had to provide the technology, I'm afraid you'd still be hard-pressed!"
Jing Xiaoman was furious too. "Tu Ming! After we buy it back, we still have to study it, repair it, and pour in all kinds of resources a second time. And you're asking this price—isn't that excessive?"
The envoys from the other great worlds exploded into an uproar as well. They had probably already agreed among themselves that they absolutely would not offer me more than one hundred fifty to two hundred years' worth of second-grade immortal-qi discs. I had opened my mouth and gone straight to double that amount. Of course they couldn't accept it!
"Heh, you people are really something. You should know the process of mining azure-gold-entwined jade and refining chaos gold. If I'm selling a four-hundred-year second-grade qi disc, you should know that I'm guaranteed to make a profit, not suffer a loss! And once you buy it back and obtain the technology of this Bloodsea warship, you can reproduce a whole batch of Bloodsea warships. That would be worth far more than four hundred years!

"No!" Jing Xiaoman immediately refused. The large-scale use of azure-gold-entwined jade throughout the warship was precisely one of the major
