Chapter 1342: An Offer That Can’t Be Refused
From the perspective of the Duke of Night Raven, it indeed couldn’t be considered too excessive of an arrangement. After all, selling to a fellow countryman entails a far greater risk of retaliation, and double the price did not seem to be an overly outrageous demand.
However, considering everyone’s enthusiasm towards the Xia Country Monk, it was hard not to suspect that the Duke of Night Raven was seizing the opportunity to hike up the prices.
Purchasing slaves was never a fixed price affair, neither outside the alleyways nor within the confines of this castle.
The bidding process, where the highest price wins, had already deterred many from the start, and Su Chengyu’s words further sparked crooked ideas in those who had initially decided to give up.
No one paid attention to Su Chengyu who had just spoken; Fang Qing’s purchasing price had been raised in a very short time to the value of an Extreme Artifact plus a set of Heaven Rank Martial Arts.
Su Chengyu furrowed his brows tightly. Whether it was a direct doubling or an exchange of equivalent items, for Su Chengyu, it had already reached an exorbitant price.
At this moment, Su Chengyu truly understood why this underground black market was known as the black market.
The underground market, offering goods rarely found outside, involved bidding that bore no semblance of rationality.
Even if it were not in Xia Country, the price itself had already far exceeded the worth of an ordinary Cultivator.
That Fang Qing could be bid up to such a level, was largely due to these foreigners’ intense curiosity about the title "Monk."
The Duke of Night Raven, who had personally joined the fray, seemed very pleased with the crowd’s enthusiasm. His gaze suddenly landed on Su Chengyu, who had fallen silent after uttering that phrase. The duke spoke with a smile, "This guest from Xia, aren’t you going to make an offer?"
