Spirit Jade Pavilion, second-floor hall.
Cheng Buzheng looked at the spirited Jiang Fugui, but felt no emotion whatsoever.
He knew that if Jiang Fugui became deeply involved, he would eventually fall victim to it.
As the saying goes:
If you walk by the river often enough, you're bound to get your shoes wet!
As time slowly passed.
Cheng Buzheng also noticed Jiang Fugui's tense expression; his eyes were fixed on the Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone.
The azure blue was as deep as an unrestricted sea, and as time went by, more and more of the azure color was revealed.
Although Cheng Buzheng didn't know what level of treasure this Spirit Jade was, he knew its value was absolutely not to be underestimated, especially given the recent surge in its price.
At the same time, he also noticed the special features of the carving knife Law Artifact in the old monk's hand.
The moment the carving knife touched the Spirit Jade, it automatically retracted its sharpness, without damaging the Spirit Jade in the slightest.
He also understood why most cultivators would break through the Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone here.
There are essentially two reasons;
First, Spirit Jade Pavilion can break the Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone for customers free of charge, saving them the extra Spirit Stone of purchasing special Law Artifact carving tools.
At the same time, the store gained a lot of popularity and increased sales.
After all, the cultivators present, seeing the valuable Spirit Jade being unearthed, would be tempted to spend Spirit Stone to buy the Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone.
Self-interest blinds people.
They ignore the majority of failed attempts at opening the mines, focusing only on those that yielded expensive Spirit Jade.
Secondly, in the main hall on the second floor of the Spirit Jade Pavilion, there are shopkeepers from several stores waiting there.
The shopkeepers might not care about some low-grade Spirit Material, but they will buy them back at a high price once high-grade Spirit Material appear.
After all, high-grade Spirit Material are extremely scarce and rare, with prices but no market. This will not only increase the shop's reputation but also make its business more prosperous.
If high-grade treasures are available for sale year-round, it will leave a deep impression on high-level cultivators, and they will mostly trade with this shop in the future.
A transaction by a high-level cultivator can be equivalent to the profits of hundreds or thousands of transactions by low-level cultivators.
This is also why there are various shopkeepers and managers stationed Spirit Jade Pavilion.
Once a cultivator finds a high-grade treasure, they will bid against each other, just like a small auction. This is another major reason why most cultivators are willing to bid for Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone here.
As for those cultivators who bought the Spirit Jade God-Restricting Stone and returned without opening the window, he estimated that most of them were cautious cultivators, and a small portion might be preparing to transfer the higher-level stones.
After all, the Endless Sea is extremely vast, and the price of Teleportation Array is incredibly expensive; many cultivators may never have the opportunity to come here in their entire lives.
Immortal Alliance Island is one of the holy lands for cultivation in the Azure Feather World Realm, and its prosperity is incomparable to those small places.
Just as Cheng Buzheng was secretly pondering this.
A gasp of surprise came from his right front:
"They actually unearthed such a large piece of Azure Sea Spirit Jade..."
A large, azure Spirit Jade, about the size of an adult's fist, appeared in the elderly cultivator's hand as the last bit of powder fell away.
See here.
Jiang Fugui was overjoyed and quickly put away the Azure Sea Spirit Jade. Then, he reached into his storage bag and handed one hundred Spirit Stone to the old cultivator.
Cheng Buzheng smiled slightly at this, knowing that it was just like worldly celebrations of money.
At the same time, he also noticed that at several other gathering points of Spirit Jade Soul-Restricting Stone, even if cultivators opened Spirit Jade, the celebratory money they received was not as much as Jiang Fugui's, mostly only around ten Spirit Stone.
Perhaps the value of this Spirit Jade is too high, or perhaps it's due to his generous nature.
As a result, Jiang Fugui didn't care about those small amounts of money.
Immediately, the elderly cultivator bowed respectfully and said:
"Thank you for your kind gift, senior!"
He showed genuine gratitude and accepted the Spirit Stone with satisfaction.
He knew that most seniors would never be as generous as the one in front of him. Although the reason for the discovery of the Azure Sea Spirit Jade was partly due to the senior's generous nature, it was also because of the senior's naturally forthright character.
Otherwise, even if you obtain a high-grade Spirit Jade, you won't receive much in rewards.
He was well aware of this; after all, he had seen all sorts of people in his life, and he had that much experience.
Meanwhile, many cultivators present began to discuss the matter, among them a knowledgeable cultivator who offered to explain to Jiang Fugui free of charge:
"This Azure Sea Spirit Jade is a rare and precious material. Whether used to refine Law Treasure or special Jade Talisman, it is an extremely rare treasure!"
"Indeed, especially when refining water-attribute Law Treasure, their power will increase by at least 20%, and their value will be immeasurable!"
"This fellow Daoist is indeed very lucky. He only opened two stones and actually found such a treasure. We are truly envious."
········
Immediately, a chorus of envious voices flooded Cheng Buzheng's ears.
At the same time, Cheng Buzheng discovered several other gathering points, and many cultivators flocked to them.
The commotion here was so great that it attracted the attention of many cultivators.
at the same time.
Many cultivators who appeared to be shopkeepers offered their prices:
"Fellow Daoist, my Multi-Treasure Pavilion offers 25,000 Spirit Stone..."
"I'll offer 28,000 Spirit Stone..."
"Thirty thousand Spirit Stone..."
·····
The refined-looking shopkeeper of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion stared at Jiang Fugui and said:
"Fellow Daoist, I offer 35,000 Spirit Stone. What do you think?"
This price was announced.
Instantly.
The shopkeeper and manager, who had just been enthusiastically bidding, suddenly stopped bidding as if they had been choked!
Seeing this, Jiang Fugui knew that this was already the highest price, and was just about to agree.
A kind-faced old man arrived at the place, saw the piece of the Azure Sea Spirit Jade, and calmly called out:
"My Treasure Pagoda offers 40,000 Spirit Stone!"
Upon hearing this...
The refined-looking manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion, upon seeing the newcomer, immediately gave a helpless smile, clasped his hands in greeting, and said:
"Oh, it's Manager Wu!"
"I am Wu, greetings!"
Immediately, the manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion looked at Jiang Fugui and said:
"Fellow Daoist, this is the highest price our pavilion can offer. It seems I am destined to be without this Azure Sea Spirit Jade!"
He sighed softly.
The kind-faced old man glanced at the refined-looking manager of the Hundred Treasures Pavilion and said:
"It's you, kid!"
Immediately, she smiled and looked at Jiang Fugui, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, are you willing to sell at this price?"
Jiang Fugui's chubby little eyes darted around, and seeing that no cultivators were bidding, he pondered for a moment before saying:
"OK!"
The two then completed the transaction.
The elderly man in charge of the Treasure Pagoda then took out a bronze Identity Token and handed it to Jiang Fugui, saying:
"Fellow Daoist, from now on, you can get a 5% discount when purchasing spiritual items at the Treasure Pagoda with this Identity Token!"
See here.
Jiang Fugui smiled and accepted the Identity Token, then clasped his hands in a fist salute to the old man and said:
"Thank you, fellow Daoist!"
Upon seeing this, the cultivators present erupted into another commotion.
"This is the Bronze Token of the Treasure Pagoda; only the manager has the authority to issue it."
"Even though it's only a 5% discount, it adds up to a considerable amount over the years!"
"I've heard that there are also Silver Token and Gold Token on it, which offer even greater discounts. Unfortunately, only high-level cultivators can possess them. Even if you spend a lot at the Treasure Pagoda, you can't hold Silver Token if your cultivation level isn't at the Golden Core Stage!"
"There are even rumors that the Treasure Pagoda offers Diamond Token, with even more astonishing discounts!"
