Moke Flicked His Thumb Lightly

The corners of Moke's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. With a light flick of his thumb, the sapphire seemed to come alive. Like a meteor streaking across the sky, it shot straight toward the shopkeeper at an astonishing speed.

The shopkeeper was startled, but years of business experience allowed him to react quickly. He instinctively reached out, intending to catch the rapidly approaching sapphire. His hand moved as swiftly as lightning, accurately seizing the gemstone and holding it firmly in his grasp.

The shopkeeper's gaze fell upon the sapphire in his hand, and his eyes instantly lit up. Although he mainly dealt in blades, he was still quite capable when it came to appraising gemstones. With a single glance, he could tell that this sapphire was no ordinary item—it was the finest of the finest.

He could not help swallowing as he silently estimated the sapphire's value. A sapphire of such quality would fetch an enormous price if sold to the great nobles—at least tens of millions! In comparison, Yubashiri was worth only ten million.

Of course, Meito were indeed luxuries to swordsmen, often priceless and impossible to find on the market. Yet no matter how expensive a Meito was, it could not compare to this top-grade sapphire. Even with Sandai Kitetsu added in, this deal would undoubtedly earn him a fortune.

The shopkeeper drew a deep breath and tried to calm his excitement. When he looked at Moke again, his gaze had completely changed. This seemingly ordinary young man was actually so extravagant, casually offering such a precious sapphire. It truly made him see Moke in a new light.

With a smile, the shopkeeper cautiously asked, "Do you truly intend to exchange this sapphire for Yubashiri and Sandai Kitetsu?" His voice carried a hint of expectation
