Five Million! Stunned Everyone!

Hearing Ning Wangshu's words, Lin Qingzhu couldn't help but smile and replied, "Yeah, what a coincidence. I didn't expect to run into you here either."

After speaking, her gaze swept over the two jade pendants laid out on the stall in front of Ning Wangshu, and she couldn't help asking, "Ning Wangshu, are you selling these jade pendants?"

"I just heard people nearby talking, saying you're selling them for one million each?"

Ning Wangshu lightly nodded. "Yeah. I need some money lately, so I wanted to sell these two pendants to get some cash."

At that moment, Lin Anguo's eyes also fell on the two jade pendants, but soon his expression froze slightly, and a hint of surprise—even delight—appeared in his gaze.

Then he quickly said, "Young Man, these pendants of yours... could I take a look at them?"

"Ning Wangshu, this is my grandfather!"

Lin Qingzhu hurriedly explained.

Hearing this, Ning Wangshu glanced at Lin Anguo.

A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, then he suddenly understood and thought to himself, "So he's Lin Class Beauty's grandfather. No wonder I felt their auras seem to share the same origin."

"That means Lin Class Beauty comes from a cultivation family! Her grandfather's cultivation is really not low—he's already at the Forming Yuan Stage Peak, just one step away from charging into the Golden Core Great Path!"

"But it seems her grandfather was injured before. Though he's mostly recovered, his aura is still a bit unsettled..."

Ning Wangshu saw through Lin Anguo's condition at a glance.

He didn't realize that Lin Anguo had actually been injured by his own long-range spell back then, since the injury had mostly healed, and the aura from that spell had long dissipated.

So Ning Wangshu didn't pick up on that.

"So you're Old Master Lin. Of course, you're welcome to take a look!" Ning Wangshu replied with a smile.

"Good, thank you!"

Lin Anguo smiled politely, then stepped forward, picked up both jade pendants, examined them closely, and then closed his eyes as if sensing something.

Soon, he opened his eyes, his face full of delight.

Then he abruptly looked up at Ning Wangshu and said, "Young Man, these two pendants of yours... are they really just one million each?"

Hmm??

Hearing this, the onlookers around were stunned, staring at Lin Anguo in surprise.

What did he mean by that? Did this old man think the pendants were being sold too cheap?

Even the old woman who had been rolling around and wailing stopped her crying, staring blankly at Lin Anguo.

Ning Wangshu naturally understood what Lin Anguo meant. As a cultivator, Lin Anguo must have sensed the rich and pure spiritual energy contained in those two jade pendants.

He knew they weren't ordinary jade!

And for a cultivator like him, the spiritual energy in the pendants would be a huge help.

As long as he could refine that spiritual energy, it would be greatly beneficial—maybe even enough to let him take a shot at the Golden Core Great Path!

So how could Lin Anguo not be excited and thrilled?

Even though the spiritual energy in Spirit Jade was far less than that in Spirit Stones, and Spirit Jade was mostly used for making Jade Talismans or refining tools, In the absence of Spirit Stones, directly refining the spiritual energy from Spirit Jade as a substitute for cultivation aid was still possible.

It's just that in the Cangyuan Realm, basically no one did that.

Because the Cangyuan Realm wasn't short of Spirit Stones, and the spiritual energy in Spirit Jade was even less than that in a Low-grade Spirit Stone—using Spirit Jade directly for cultivation would be a complete waste.

"Of course! But if it's you, Old Master Lin, I can give you a twenty percent discount. You can have both pendants for one point six million total!"

"After all, your grandson and I have been classmates for years..."

Ning Wangshu said with a slight smile.

But Lin Anguo quickly waved his hand and laughed, "No need, business is business. Besides, precisely because you're Qingzhu's classmate, I can't take advantage of you."

He paused, then added, "To be honest, I think even one million each is too cheap—I'm getting a steal!"

"I feel a bit bad about it. How about I add some more? I'll give you five million for both pendants?"

Five million!?

Hearing Lin Anguo's words, the crowd was shocked.

Utterly dumbfounded!

They had underestimated the value of those pendants—one million was already too cheap, and now this guy was voluntarily raising the price to five million for both!

That was five million!

Even in a first-tier city, you could buy a small apartment outright with that!

But Ning Wangshu also waved his hand at Lin Anguo's offer to raise the price, saying, "No, Old Master Lin. Since I set the price at one million each myself, if you really want to buy them, just stick to that price."

Ning Wangshu didn't want to take advantage either.

He'd set the price himself, and there was no reason to go back on it.

Besides, with two million, he'd have more than enough to buy back his family's house.

He estimated there would still be a few hundred thousand left over.

Hearing Ning Wangshu say this, Lin Anguo smiled and said, "Young Man, then this old man will shamelessly take a big advantage of you. But if you feel later that you sold it too cheaply, you can tell Qingzhu anytime, and I'll make up the difference."

Ning Wangshu smiled and replied, "Old Man, you're too kind."

Lin Anguo chuckled and continued, "Then I'll take these two jade pendants. Please, Young Brother, give me your bank card number, and I'll transfer the money right away!"

"Alright!"

Ning Wangshu responded and immediately told Lin Anguo his bank card number.

Lin Anguo quickly transferred the money and said, "Young Man, I've sent the money over. I'll be taking these two jade pendants now!"

"Good! I've received the text message confirming the transfer."

Ning Wangshu said with a smile.

Lin Anguo held the two jade pendants, overjoyed, unable to put them down.

Meanwhile, the people nearby, seeing that Lin Anguo had actually spent two million to buy these two jade pendants, couldn't help but buzz with discussion.

"Who would've thought these jade pendants were really worth that much!"

"Yeah, one million each, that's two million for the pair! My goodness!"

"The key thing is, that Old Man himself said he got a huge bargain, and even told the young man he could make up the difference anytime if he felt he sold too cheap. That shows the real value of these jade pendants is far more than one million!"

"Speaking of which, that old woman was really something, trying to force-buy jade pendants worth at least a million, maybe two or three million, for just eight hundred bucks. When he wouldn't sell, she started throwing a tantrum. Absolutely ridiculous!"

"No kidding? Earlier she had the nerve to say he was ripping her off and falsely accused him of hitting her. These are jade pendants worth over a million—she couldn't afford them anyway. If he hadn't taken them back quickly and she accidentally chipped or damaged them, who would he have complained to?"

Facing the pointed remarks from the crowd around her, the old woman's face turned pale and flushed by turns.

She really hadn't expected that just a broken jade pendant would have someone willing to pay a million each for it, and even act like they'd gotten a great deal.

She even voluntarily raised the offer to five million for the pair.

Not just the old woman, but also the man who had earlier spoken up for her, claiming the jade pendant was worth at most a few hundred or a thousand, was now too stunned to speak.

Taking advantage of no one paying attention, he quickly slunk away.

He simply couldn't bear to stay any longer; otherwise, once others remembered him, who knew how much they'd point and sneer at him...
