Just five? Feng Jun was a little dumbfounded. That's quite an opening bid.
In fact, he had not named a price at random. A Primal Fire Embryo was certainly priceless, but cultivators had their own ways of appraising value. For example, one divination slot was roughly equivalent to thirty years of guardianship by a Golden Core Peak cultivator.
Considering that a Golden Core Peak cultivator might not be willing to stand guard for that long—like Yuan Real Person, who would rather do so after Nascent Soul Formation—one divination slot was also roughly equivalent to thirty years of guardianship by a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator.
There was definitely some inflation in that valuation, but Feng Jun could still consider five Nascent Soul Formation divination slots to be roughly equal to a hundred and fifty years of guardianship by a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator. It was close enough, anyway.
Was a hundred and fifty years of guardianship by a Nascent Soul Initial Stage cultivator worth one Primal Fire Embryo? That... was hard to measure.
Could Yi Jue's Nascent Soul Initial Stage be valued the same as Duanmu Guzhu's Nascent Soul Initial Stage?
In any case, for most Nascent Soul cultivators with no hope of Soul Emergence, trading a hundred and fifty years of guardianship for a Primal Fire Embryo was still worthwhile.
