Chapter 1773: Appraising Styles (1/2)
All eyes were instantly on the prince this time. It didn’t matter whether Li Qiye’s arms were worth the aforementioned price or not, the prince was the one who started all of this.
He would lose all face by backing down right now. It was either to take out 1,000,000 Dao Sage Chaos Stones to bet against Li Qiye or use his own arms.
Otherwise, his reputation as an imperial successor would be gone completely. The only thing he would be known for was a crown prince who got humiliated by a mortal.
“Bang!” The prince took out three Dao Sage weapons at the same time, all at the Golden Inlaid level.
“I don’t have that many chaos stones on me so I’ll bet these weapons instead!” He uttered coldly.
These three artifacts were indeed worth around 1,000,000 Dao Sage Chaos Stones.
Li Qiye glanced at the weapons and smiled: “Fine, what bet now?”
The prince took a deep breath and tapped on Li Langxuan’s back who was standing next to him: “Brother Langxuan will represent me. Brother, beat him, I want his arms!”
Severing Li Qiye’s arms was only the beginning. If Li Langxuan were to win, a long torture was awaiting Li Qiye before everyone. The prince wanted Li Qiye’s scream to echo across the Western Market.
Even though murder was forbidden here, losing a gamble justified the punishment. No one would be able to save Li Qiye then!
Langxuan was surprised to hear this. He regained his wits and stared at Li Qiye with a little antic.i.p.ation.
This mortal was indeed a challenge for him. Earlier, Li Qiye’s cutting skill proved that he was an amazing appraiser.
Langxuan was considered the number one young appraiser in Pure so after seeing Li Qiye in action, his eyes did lit up and he thought about challenging the guy.
“Your Highness, I’m not sure if I can handle this great responsibility.” Langxuan humbly said.
“Brother Langxuan, you are the best appraiser right now and he’s only a mortal. Just take his arms for me.” The prince said.
“I’ll have to listen then.” Langxuan cupped his fist.
Langxuan and Li Qiye instantly fell into the limelight. Li Qiye has proven his abilities while Langxuan’s reputation preceded him.
One was a mortal while the other was a genius so Langxuan clearly had the upper hand. No wonder why the prince left this to him.
“Even the older appraisers don’t want to play against Langxuan. Many have lost to him already.” One expert said. All eyes were on this contest.
“How do you want to do this?” Li Langxuan cupped his fist towards Li Qiye, still showing respect towards a mortal.
“Whatever you want.” Li Qiye smiled and freely said.
Langxuan didn’t dare to underestimate the enemy. He took a deep breath and said: “Your vision is quite keen. How about we pick a dao material from the Waiting Zone; whoever can cut the better dao fetus out will be the winner. What do you think?”
“We’ll do that then.” Li Qiye had no objection.
The Waiting Zone was a special area at the Stone Workshop. Many dao materials were waiting to be appraised here or couldn’t be decided by the appraisers.
