Choosing to ignore Yang Qing completely, Lin Guiren focused his attention on the two rogue cultivators who still couldn't believe what they had heard.
A top-tier monarch-grade artifact in peak condition was usually around 30- 40,000 high-grade spirit stones. When Xiao Gun and his cohorts were looking to sell the cauldron, all they hoped for was at most 25,000 high-grade spirit stones, with their bare minimum being 22,000 high-grade spirit stones.
Their number was that low due to the damaged foundations of the treasure and also the fact that it was incomplete. Never in a million years would they have expected to receive 50,000 high-grade spirit stones for it. That was halfway through the mark for what a perfectly functional low-tier ascendant-grade artifact cost.
