Chapter 1772: Golden Inlaid (2/2)
“That’s why material gambling is fun.” The appraiser smiled back: “This gentleman is quite discerning and has gotten a nice treasure. Well done, well done.”
Li Qiye smiled back at the praise before staring at the prince with one eye: “You have lost.”
“Hmph, only a little bit of money, no problem.” The prince snorted in response. He was indeed telling the truth since the money wasn’t an issue. The problem was his failure in cutting off this mortal’s arms.
“It is a small sum indeed, not worth mentioning at all. These pieces of trash will only stain my clothes.” Li Qiye smiled and threw the two dao weapons as well as the 10,000 chaos stones to He Chen and s.h.i.+ Sou.
The two of them were frozen and thought they were in a dream as they held onto the items. These things alone were worth more than their entire sect. But now, Li Qiye casually gave it to them without any hesitation. They could work a lifetime and not acc.u.mulate this level of resources.
Even some cultivators here were astounded. This might not be a big amount to some of the big shots here, but it was still a very lavish course of action. Even a king might not be so wasteful.
“No wonder why those cultivators choose to follow a mortal.” A cultivator murmured. Even they would follow such a generous mortal master.
This only further infuriated the prince after already losing the bet. He shouted: “Want to go again?!”
His blood was boiling and clouding his judgment. Today, he must sever this mortal’s arms before everyone or he would never regain his face again.
Li Qiye glanced at him with disdain and said: “Again? That’s fine, you still want my arms? But now, I’ll name the price. Don’t worry, I’ll be considerate since you’re so poor. Okay, 10,000,000 Dao Saint Chaos Stones.”
“You!” The prince scowled coldly: “You think too highly of yourself! You think your mortal arms are worth 10,000,000 Dao Saint Chaos Stones?!”
Keep in mind that the realm of Dao Saint was only below Dao Celestial and Grand Emperor. The prince simply couldn’t take out this sky-high number of stones. Even countries couldn’t do so, let alone one person.
“You’re definitely not worth that much.” Li Qiye smiled and said: “If you can’t afford it, then don’t go around betting. Or, you could bet your arms.”
The prince was trembling with rage. A crown prince like him would never bet his own arms to bet against a mortal. This was a matter of status. Money was a different issue.
“Hmph, don’t think you’re a big deal, mortal. I’ll even go 1,000,000 Dao Sovereign Chaos Stones for your arms, how about that?!” The prince shouted back.
“Dao Sovereign Chaos Stones? Forget it, too little. Remember, I’m a peerless master appraiser, so many imperial lineages would want me to join them. But oh well, I’ll lower my standards, 1,000,000 Dao Sage Chaos Stones then. If a crown prince like you can’t even afford this much, then stop leaving your house and further embarra.s.sing yourself. It’s like a beggar wanting to gamble!” Li Qiye mocked.
Since the prince wanted his life, Li Qiye didn’t mind toying with him for a bit!
It was debatable whether his arms were worth 10,000,000 Dao Saint Chaos Stones, the answer would differ depending on who you ask. However, he was correct about imperial lineages wanting a skillful master like him to join them.
