Wei Yin said with a bitter face, "This is really our limit. Besides, 200,000 high-grade spirit stones is a lot. We can't afford any more."
While it's true that we'd give as much as we could for our ancestors, we should still act within our means.
Upon hearing that it was a high-grade spirit stone, Shu Jianyue's expression immediately changed.
She had always thought they were low-grade spirit stones, and her spending habits hadn't changed since she was in Sihai, so she almost lost a lot of money.
Shu Jianyue suppressed the urge to smile and nodded, saying, "Okay, go and get them."
Then he gestured to Ziyu to take him to pick up the person.
Wei Yin immediately smiled, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you."
"You're welcome," Shu Jianyue smiled.
He captured the man's ancestor, and the man who came to ransom him should thank him.
After Wei Yin left, the remaining sect leaders looked at each other in bewilderment. They hadn't heard what they had said, but seeing that Wei Yin left with a smile, they knew that the negotiations had been successful and that it had been a result that Wei Yin was very satisfied with.
Yi Feng glanced at Wei Yin who had left, then stood up and walked to Shu Jianyue, saying, "How many spirit stones did the Qinan Sect offer? Our Wangyue Sect is willing to offer the same amount."
Shu Jianyue didn't like the tone of his voice at all.
Shu Jianyue looked at him and smiled, "Don't compare yourself to others; your ancestor's cultivation level is quite different."
"Just tell me how many spirit stones you think your ancestor is worth. I will keep the amount of spirit stones each family offers a secret."
Yi Feng paused for a moment, then thought for a second and said, "Our Wangyue Sect is willing to offer 500,000 low-grade spirit stones, what do you say?"
Shu Jianyue stared wide-eyed in surprise, “So your ancestor is so worthless? He’s not even worth one ten-thousandth of the Qi Nan Sect’s.”
"I estimate that only your Wangyue Sect could afford this quantity," Shu Jianyue said, giving a thumbs up.
One thousand low-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one mid-grade spirit stone, and two thousand mid-grade spirit stones can be exchanged for one high-grade spirit stone.
The Wangyue Sect really has the nerve to make such a claim.
Are they so poor that they've lost all sense of shame?
Yi Feng's face flushed red. "Then name a number."
Shu Jianyue sneered and said, "I really didn't expect that you would ask for 500,000 low-grade spirit stones right off the bat. It makes me feel embarrassed to even ask."
"Qinan Sect is quite sincere, so I didn't haggle with them and agreed directly."
"And they're giving you top-grade spirit stones, so you can decide for yourself."
Yi Feng's expression immediately changed. Five hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones?
The Moon Gazing Sect could indeed offer it, but that was their limit.
If the patriarch doesn't return, the Wangyue Sect will definitely disappear in the torrent.
Yi Feng glanced back and thought, "The Supreme God Palace can't possibly imprison the Ancestor for a lifetime, can it?"
Shu Jianyue saw through his thoughts and smiled, saying, "Are you thinking that since the Supreme Temple won't imprison people for life, you won't redeem them?"
Yi Feng's thoughts were seen through, and his expression stiffened for a moment before he lowered his eyelids.
"However, my Supreme God Temple can truly imprison him for life, making him a laborer in the Supreme God Temple for the rest of his life." Shu Jianyue said with a sneer on her face.
"Hopefully, the Wangyue Sect can withstand the emergence of the next patriarch."
Yi Feng raised his eyes and glared at her fiercely.
Shu Jianyue smiled indifferently, truly clueless.
Chong Jiu glanced coldly at Yi Feng and said, "If you don't want to change, then get out."
"Change." Yi Feng managed to utter the word with difficulty. If he didn't change, would he just wait for the Wangyue Sect to be destroyed?
"But could you give us a little less? We really can't afford that many high-grade spirit stones."
Shu Jianyue rested her chin on her hand and looked at him, "Then tell me, how much can your Wangyue Sect offer?"
Yi Feng's expression relaxed, and he immediately said, "How about 100,000 high-grade spirit stones?"
Shu Jianyue almost rolled her eyes. "You really have the nerve to say that."
"Your ancestor was a terrestrial immortal, right? He's only worth 100,000 high-grade spirit stones? He's not even worth as much as the ancestor of the Qinan Sect who was a Xuanxian immortal."
"Then it's two hundred thousand, that's really the most I can go." Yi Feng let her say whatever she wanted now, he'd save money wherever he could, what difference would it make if she said anything?
When haggling, who cares about saving face?
Shu Jianyue thought for a moment, and since they couldn't offer any more, she gave them an OK sign.
"Three hundred thousand? Can you lower the price a bit more?" Yi Feng felt a pang of regret.
Shu Jianyue glanced at her hand, then at Yi Feng, and shook her head, saying, "No, the lowest price."
Yes, the OK gesture is very useful; I'll use it again next time.
Seeing that she had no intention of changing her mind, Yi Feng nodded with difficulty, "Alright, then it'll be 300,000."
Shu Jianyue nodded in agreement, looked up at the sky and said, "Take him there to hand over the spirit stones and retrieve the person."
Sky nodded and led Yi Feng to fetch the person.
The others left after Yi Feng had bargained, and although their expressions weren't good, at least they had succeeded, and the price should be within an acceptable range.
So one after another they came to negotiate and bargain, until Shu Jianyue got annoyed and started pricing based on cultivation level.
Earth Immortals require at least 300,000 spirit stones, Profound Immortals at least 200,000, True Immortals at least 100,000, and those in the Tribulation Transcending stage receive only 50,000. Go directly to pay the spirit stones to claim your person.
After everyone in the main hall had left, the Supreme Temple's purse was full.
Chao Tian walked in carrying the storage ring containing the spirit stones used to redeem them, and said, "A total of 16.6 million high-grade spirit stones."
Shu Jianyue took a breath and said, "This deal is too good to pass up. You can make so much money with just a few simple moves."
Chao Tian placed the storage rings on her face; there were dozens of them.
Shu Jianyue casually took two of them and gave a little to each of the children. After all, they had all contributed. Even if the ones they captured were at the Tribulation Transcending stage, each one would still be worth 50,000.
Even Wu Yan, who hadn't done anything, received some money from Shu Jianyue, since he was at the age where he needed pocket money.
The rest was given to Chaotian: "You and Tiankong can take some for pocket money, and then give Liu Juefeng and Ziyu some pocket money. The rest can be used for the public expenses of the Supreme God Temple."
"Oh, right, remember to take out the spirit stones you owe Honglang and prepare them."
"Okay, I'll go get it done right away." Chaotian nodded and pulled Tiankong along as they walked away.
?…………?
After the Supreme Temple's actions, most of the Holy Spirits dared not plot against them anymore.
You should know that they don't even care about Earth Immortals anymore. If you want to make any moves, unless you're a Celestial Immortal, you can try to test the waters. Otherwise, you should just stay put and not covet their divine-grade immortal artifacts.
So everyone gave up.
Then, within a few days, news spread from the Wangyue Sect that the Supreme Divine Palace was full of treasures.
The spirit ships that others ride are all divine artifacts, and the one that Palace Master Shu is holding is also a divine artifact.
Then, the most incredible thing was that even the chairs people sat on were considered magical artifacts.
When Shu Jianyue heard this rumor, several days had passed, almost until the founding ceremony of the Supreme Divine Temple.
