Seeking Immortality In The World Of Cultivation-Chapter 1044 - 724 Conspiracy
Chapter 1044: Chapter 724 Conspiracy?
Chapter 1044: Chapter 724 Conspiracy?
In He Song’s view,
stating a low price at the beginning and then haggling back and forth, finally agreeing on a specific price after bargaining,
this was the essence of negotiation.
Although being a Golden Elixir Master, it seemed somewhat inappropriate to bargain in this place,
the other party was most likely also a Golden Elixir Master. Two Golden Elixir Masters negotiating with each other wouldn’t be improper.
When their statuses were equal, He Song wouldn’t mind spending fewer spirit stones.
That was also why He Song offered the price of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
150,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
This amount was a full 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones less than the auction price that He Song had mentioned earlier for a cultivator’s Golden Core.
However, if one were to take into account the auction’s commission and the potential risk of being robbed by others afterwards,
the missing 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones weren’t such a huge price difference after all.
After all, just the auction commission alone was close to 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
Furthermore, Ghostface would also avoid the risk of being attacked by others.
And save some time as well.
Even if this time was used only to enhance one’s own strength, it was extremely worthwhile.
Thus, the offer of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones from He Song was indeed well-considered.
The price would neither make Ghostface feel humiliated
nor allow the initial offer to exceed He Song’s bottom line.

That way, it would be a win-win situation.
He Song retained his stance, and Ghostface wouldn’t turn against He Song over this matter.
With such thoughts, after He Song had spoken, he began to observe Ghostface’s reaction.
However,
this observation
brought a flicker of confusion to He Song’s mind.
In He Song’s observation, the expression that appeared on Ghostface’s face upon hearing He Song’s words wasn’t as stern as He Song had anticipated.
According to He Song’s original assumption, Ghostface might become annoyed upon hearing the offer of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones,
thinking that such a low price indicated a lack of sincerity.
In that case, based on He Song’s assumption, Ghostface’s complexion would naturally turn quite unsightly after hearing He Song’s words.
Even a dark and gloomy expression would have been within He Song’s expectations.
However,
when He Song finished speaking and began to observe Ghostface’s reaction,
Ghostface’s countenance was not as shadowed as He Song had predicted.
Instead, a slight flicker of joy crossed Ghostface’s face.
At the same time, his eyes subtly brightened, seemingly very pleased with He Song’s offer.
Moreover, under He Song’s scrutiny, Ghostface seemed to be in a dazed state.
It was as if… the offer of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones had thrown him into an extremely joyful state, like he was in a dream.
Meanwhile, the sense of elation emanating from Ghostface was even perceived by Xiao Qing, who was beside He Song.
Sitting next to He Song,
Xiao Qing hadn’t said much since following He Song into the mansion.
Because she knew now was not her time to speak.
He Song had come for the cultivator’s Golden Core in the possession of this Ghostfaced True Monarch.
Upon entering the mansion, it was time for He Song to duel with the Ghostfaced True Monarch and eventually complete the transaction.
If she spoke too much, she might even be seen as irritating.
Therefore, Xiao Qing remained silent while He Song and Ghostface tested each other.
However, even so,
Xiao Qing was not distracted but watched the verbal sparring between the two Golden Elixir Masters with great focus.
As time passed,
when Xiao Qing, just like He Song, noticed the unusual expressions of the Ghostfaced True Monarch,
her mind surged with intense surprise.
This Ghostfaced True Monarch,
why would he reveal such an out-of-character expression upon hearing He Song’s words?
Joy?
Satisfaction?
The price of a cultivator’s Golden Core.
Xiao Qing was actually aware of it too.
Not to mention He Song had directly stated that the previous auction price for a cultivator’s Golden Core was 160,000.
Yet now, He Song had offered only 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones.
In such circumstances, how could the Ghostfaced True Monarch look pleased?
Shouldn’t he feel that the price was too low and question He Song’s sincerity?
With puzzlement in her mind,
Xiao Qing was about to think more critically when she saw the Ghostfaced True Monarch seemed to have realized his lapse in composure, and she quickly pressed down her thoughts to continue observing the unfolding scene.
At this moment, the Ghostfaced True Monarch appeared to have regained control of his expressions.
Thus, under the watchful eyes of He Song and Xiao Qing, the Ghostfaced True Monarch promptly adjusted his demeanor.
However, his previous expression of joy and the strong sense of satisfaction in his eyes caused He Song and Xiao Qing to harbor a trace of doubt.
As a Golden Elixir Master, the Ghostfaced True Monarch’s reaction to He Song’s offer of 150,000 mid-grade spirit stones was not what it ought to be.
There must be something He Song and Xiao Qing had not noticed.
