Gu Chengan drank Thunder Brew without a care. "Haha, Brother Lin, just name your price. You know Yunxiao's means well enough. He owes me a huge favor, so Yunxiao will pay for my share."
Lin Yi looked at Ling Yunxiao and saw him ponder for a moment. "Brother Lin, Primordial Spirit Iron is a rare commodity even within the Academy. It basically only appears occasionally at auctions. My uncle once bought a piece several thousand years ago for two hundred and fifty thousand Void Crystal Coins."
"If you are willing to sell at that price, I can offer five hundred thousand Void Crystal Coins."
Lin Yi had also asked Ling Shanshan about the market price of Primordial Spirit Iron, so he knew Ling Yunxiao was telling the truth.
Still, Ling Yunxiao opening with an offer of five hundred thousand Void Crystal Coins truly surprised Lin Yi.
"Brother Ling, just who are you to possess such wealth?"
Before Ling Yunxiao could answer, Gu Chengan said, "Brother Lin, have you heard of the Same-Boat Alliance?"
Lin Yi raised a brow. "Together in the same boat, we brave the raging waves; united in heart, we journey ten thousand miles!"
Gu Chengan clapped his hands. "That's right, that alliance. Within Starfall City, the Same-Boat Alliance ranks among the top hundred Emperor Alliances. Yunxiao once told me that although the Alliance Leader of the Same-Boat Emperor Alliance is not surnamed Ling, quite a few of its mid-Emperor Realm higher-ups are. In short, half of the Same-Boat Emperor Alliance belongs to the Ling Family's influence."
"So, taking out a mere five hundred thousand Void Crystal Coins is nothing more than a drop in the bucket for Yunxiao."
Lin Yi could not help sighing. "No wonder you possess so many Emperor Realm artifact trump cards, Brother Ling.
