How can I not be nervous?
Everyone here is on a higher level than her.
There were also immortals present.
The Pearl Shell Queen herself is quite impressed with herself for still being able to sit here.
"Don't be nervous, they are all fine." Bai Qingqing thought that the Pearl Shell Queen was wary of Wukong, Yun Yue and the Dragon King, since they were all half-step immortals.
"Yes." The Pearl Shell Queen nodded immediately, but her back remained taut.
"Queen……"
"Just call me Yunshang, sir," the Pearl Shell Queen interrupted nervously. She couldn't bear the idea of a supreme immortal calling her "Queen."
"Yun Chang?" Bai Qingqing almost choked. Lord Guan?
"Which two words?" Bai Qingqing asked again.
“The cloud of clouds, the garment of clothes,” said the Pearl Oyster Queen.
"Oh, so that's what those two characters are." Bai Qingqing smiled somewhat awkwardly: "They sound the same as the name of an old friend, but are written differently. I misunderstood just now. I'm sorry."
This is how she understood it: she and Guan Yu were both Chinese from the same planet Earth, from the same hometown, and thus, old friends.
“It is my honor,” Yunshang said immediately.
"I heard from the Dragon King that your clan is rich in pearls. I would like to buy some. Price is not a problem," Bai Qingqing said.
“The Great Sage and the Dragon King have already told me,” Yunshang said, waving her hand, and the table was immediately covered with boxes of all sizes.
Yunshang waved her hand again, and the lids of the boxes opened immediately.
Inside were pearls the size of pigeon eggs, as white and lustrous as jade.
Both its color and size are top-notch.
"Besides these, there is another item from our clan's collection. Please take a look, sir." Yunshang took out another box made of mid-grade spirit stones and handed it to Bai Qingqing with both hands.
Bai Qingqing curiously took it, and when she opened it, she found it was a black pearl.
It's extremely large, about the size of a ping-pong ball.
With a slight rotation, it displays different colors, which is especially beautiful.
"This one is very beautiful." Bai Qingqing nodded in satisfaction. "I wonder if Miss Yun would sell it?"
“If you, sir, are willing to take a liking to it, Yunshang is willing to sell,” Yunshang said.
"Yes, I've got my eye on them." Bai Qingqing said, glancing at the white pearls on the table, "And those too, I'll take them all. As for the price..."
As Bai Qingqing spoke, she looked up at Yun Zhan and said, "Young Master Yun's family owns an auction house. Could you please help me with a calculation?"
Yun Yue touched his chin. This little brat never cares about auction house matters. Is he up to the task?
Why don't you give me some pointers via telepathy?
“Of course.” Yun Zhan nodded and said, “According to the records in ancient books, pearls are actually not very useful and can only be used as ordinary decorations. Our auction house once auctioned a pink pearl, as big as a pigeon egg. The price was similar to that of a low-grade spiritual artifact. The starting price was 40,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the final price was 50,000 low-grade spirit stones.”
Upon hearing this, Yun Yue's eyes widened immediately. Wasn't this little brat supposed to be eating, drinking, and sleeping in late every day?
These are the accounts of the Yunjian branch of Beishengzhou. How did he know about them?
"I just counted them. There are a total of one hundred white pearls, which, based on the transaction price, amount to five million low-grade spirit stones. As for the black pearl, there has never been anything like it on the market. It can be used as a regular collectible, and even if its price is ten times higher, it would still be quite valuable. Together, it's five and a half million low-grade spirit stones," Yun Zhan said smoothly.
Bai Qingqing quickly did the conversion: 5.5 million low-grade spirit stones only yielded 550 high-grade spirit stones. (See Chapter 003 for conversion details)
She no longer cares about these mosquito bites.
Bai Qingqing pondered Yun Zhan's words carefully and said, "According to your statement, the estimated price is correct, but you've made a mistake."
"Please speak frankly, Miss Bai," Yun Zhan said.
“Pearls are not useless and can only be used for decoration,” Bai Qingqing said. “Pearls can be used in medicine and have many uses.”
"Used in medicine?" Yun Zhan pursed his lips, he had never heard of it before.
In their world, pearls are only used for decoration; otherwise, they are not as valuable as low-grade spirit stones.
Everyone looked up at Bai Qingqing.
Especially Yunshang.
She was also very, very curious about the effects of the pearls that her clan had nurtured.
"It has the effects of calming the mind and relieving fright, improving eyesight and removing corneal opacity, detoxifying and promoting tissue regeneration, etc." Bai Qingqing said, "Therefore, please ask Young Master Yun to re-evaluate its value based on these effects."
"Is it really that amazing?" Yunshang was stunned.
"I've never heard of such an effect before." Yun Yue clicked his tongue and instinctively asked, "Should I swallow it whole? Or does it need to be refined?"
After asking the question, he realized what he had said, quickly waved his hand, and said, "I was just asking casually."
Elixir formulas are the most precious treasures of alchemists.
It cannot be revealed casually.
"You can't swallow it whole." Bai Qingqing smiled and said, "Only the thin membrane inside the pearl is usable. It can be extracted in the alchemy furnace and then used in medicine."
(I did a quick search on Baidu, and there are many conflicting opinions about the medicinal parts of pearls, some say the membrane, some say the nucleus, etc. I've chosen one, so please don't argue!)
“If that’s the case, the price does need to be re-evaluated.” Yun Zhan’s mind raced as he said, “Even the lowest-grade single-pattern pills would cost three or four times more. If we take four times as a factor, that would be 22 million low-grade spirit stones.”
"What if it's not the lowest level?" Bai Qingqing asked, "The intermediate level."
“Then it will have to be increased four or five times. If we take five times as an example, the price will be 110 million low-grade spirit stones,” Yun Zhan said.
Yunshang covered her mouth.
I never imagined that their clan was so wealthy.
Because they have more than just one hundred.
It's just that the table can only hold this much.
Yun Yue became somewhat anxious upon hearing this.
What's wrong with this little brat?
As a buyer, how can I offer to pay the price myself?
Isn't this just setting a trap for Miss Bai?
His ingrained way of thinking over the years made him momentarily forget that Bai Qingqing had used the same style at their auction house.
Yun Zhan had a vague idea of what was going on, which is why his prices were always higher.
Bai Qingqing calculated that 110 million low-grade spirit stones were equivalent to 11,000 high-grade spirit stones.
This number is acceptable.
Just as Yun Yue was anxiously trying to send a telepathic message to Yun Zhan, he heard Bai Qingqing laugh and say, "Let's go with Young Master Yun's calculation. However, I don't have any low-grade spirit stones here, so let's convert them to high-grade spirit stones."
As he spoke, he piled 11,000 high-grade spirit stones in front of Yunshang.
It's like a small mountain.
Yunshang stood dumbfounded in front of the mountain of high-grade spirit stones.
Is she dreaming?
Such a huge pile of high-grade spirit stones, it's like a mountain.
Are immortals all this arrogant?
With so many high-grade spirit stones, what kind of expression should she make later?
Ecstasy? Excitement? Or composure?
She's completely lost her way.
"Miss Yun, what do you think of this price? If you feel there's anything unsuitable, we can discuss it further," Bai Qingqing asked, looking up at Yun Shang.
P.S.: The name Yunshang comes from Nianying (Eagle). My darling, love you!
