Lu Ren withdrew his probing senses and deliberately asked the old man, "Where did this Mysterious Immortal Stone come from?"
"Heh, I'm not entirely sure myself. But one look tells you this immortal stone is extraordinary. It can't be an ordinary stone!"
The old man smiled.
"If it really were a treasure, someone would have bought it long ago!"
Lu Ren smiled.
"Quite a few Chaos Clan experts took an interest in it before, but the price stopped them in their tracks!"
The old man chuckled.
Fifteen hundred Myriad Realms Coins were worth fifteen ordinary Dao Restricting Soldiers.
Even an Ancient Ancestor-level expert could not easily produce that many Myriad Realms Coins.
"I'll take this stone. Can you lower the price?"
Lu Ren asked.
The old man shook his head. "The price was set by our city lord. It can't be changed. But if you truly want to buy it, we could do this another way!"
"What do you mean?"
Lu Ren asked.
"From what you've said, you want to buy an Eighth-Grade Battle Mark too, don't you?"
The old man smiled.
"That's right!"
Lu Ren nodded.
"Actually, you don't necessarily have to buy an Eighth-Grade Battle Mark. You could take one by force!"
The old man said.
"Take one by force?"
Lu Ren looked surprised.
"I can tell you something about that Eighth-Grade Battle Mark, provided you buy this immortal stone!"
The old man said.
"You certainly know how to do business!"
Lu Ren smiled, then nodded. "Fine. I'll buy the stone!"
The old man was secretly delighted. This Mysterious Immortal Stone had sat unsold for hundreds of thousands of years.
He had suggested lowering the price to the city lord many times, but the city lord had refused, insisting someone would buy it sooner or later.
