If he really felt that this pendant's core was not damaged, would the price be so low? He would have probably taken it to the Beast Tamer Association to activate it!
Although he knew that the stall owner was lying through his teeth, Su Yi was not angry.
Because these lies were surprisingly correct!
All in all, this stall owner could be considered to have a "good conscience". He sold a mid-grade secret treasure that was incapacitated for 80,000 yuan. Was there anyone more generous than him?
However…
Eighty thousand was still a little expensive.
Therefore, Su Yi exposed his lie without hesitation. "Boss, such a big piece of this pendant is missing, yet you still tricked me into activating it. It's a little unethical. If I really try to activate it, I'll lose at least 500,000 yuan! I just took a fancy to the Ice Jade, which can be used to help my Icefield White Wolf evolve. Give me another price. If it's suitable, I'll buy it."
"I didn't trick you at all. Forget it. Since you want to buy it so badly, I'll give you a discount. Sixty thousand. That's the lowest price."
Seeing that he could not fool this student in front of him, the stall owner could only lower the price a little.
But Su Yi was still not satisfied.
"Boss, you're still not honest. How can a small piece of ice jade be sold for 60,000 yuan? 40,000 yuan. The Beast Taming Mall probably has the same price. I can't be bothered to go to the Beast Taming Mall again."
"Little brother, that's not bargaining. This is a secret treasure after all. Do you really think it's a material?"
The stall owner was a little unhappy.
"What else can I do if I don't use it as material? Who would spend 500,000 yuan to activate a treasure shattered like this? If you go to activate it, I'll pay you 100,000 yuan. Are you willing?"
Su Yi asked.
The stall owner opened his mouth, but was stunned into silence by his question.
Actually, he also knew that no one would buy a treasure with such a serious defect. In the end, it would most likely be used as ordinary materials.
After hesitating for a moment, he sighed and said, "Forget it, forget it. Let's each take a step back. 50,000 yuan, just treat it as being friends. This pendant is much bigger than the standard ice jade sold in the Beast Taming Mall. You won't lose out!"
Fifty thousand? That's a passable price.
However, Su Yi did not agree immediately. Instead, he pointed at the storage ring at the side and asked, "How much is this ring?"
"A hundred and fifty thousand. This damage isn't serious. There's at least a fifty percent chance it's intact!"
The stall owner looked confident.
"It's all broken and deformed. How can there be a fifty percent chance? I'll be lucky if even one of ten such rings can be used. The ones on other stalls that look similar to this are marked at a hundred thousand. How about this? This ring and that ice jade add up to a hundred and fifty thousand. If you're willing, I'll buy it. If not, forget it."
"That's a lot of haggling. At least let me earn something."
…
After a while, the two of them finally came to an agreement.
In the end, Su Yi bought the two treasures with fake tears in his eyes.
He was trembling with excitement when he took the two treasures.
Although that storage ring was a low-level secret treasure, it had a storage space of three cubic meters. In the Beast Taming Mall, it would cost at least 1.5 million!
As for the Frost Guardian, it was needless to say. Not only was it an intermediate-level secret treasure, but it was also a very sought-after defensive equipment. If it was auctioned at an auction house, it might be able to be sold for more than 10 million!
One had to know that in battle, the most important thing for a Beast Tamer was to protect themselves.
Only by protecting himself could he command his pets to fight in peace. Otherwise, if he was captured by others, he would be finished.
And the Frost Guardian was undoubtedly a secret treasure that could be used to save his life.
Such a secret treasure was fatally tempting to any Beast Tamer!
He had bought a secret treasure worth more than 10 million yuan with just 156,000 yuan. Even after deducting the cost of activation, he could still earn 10 million yuan.
How could Su Yi not be excited?
However, when it came to activation, he suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have the money to activate these two treasures anymore…
The activation fee was fixed. No matter what grade of secret treasure it was, it was five hundred thousand per activation.
One reason for this rule was that activation consumed about the same amount of spiritual energy. The second reason was that you didn't know what grade the artifact was until it was activated. You didn't even know if it was real or fake, damaged or intact.
Yes, even if you took an ordinary stone to activate it, the Beast Tamer Association would charge you 500,000 yuan for the activation fee and return the stone to you in its original form.
They just activated it and didn't care if it was useful.
Just as Su Yi was worrying about the activation fee, Thorn Grass suddenly transmitted some angry and aggrieved emotions to him.
"What happened?"
Su Yi was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He subconsciously slapped his forehead and said awkwardly, "Sorry, sorry. I almost forgot. I'm here to help you buy the Vegetation Essence Fruit."
The Thorn Grass continued to be angry, aggrieved.
"Okay, okay, I'll get it for you."
Su Yi was a little glad that he had only spent 158,000 yuan on the two secret treasures. If he had spent all 200,000 yuan, this little guy would probably be heartbroken.
Thorn Grass had been thinking about the Vegetation Essence Fruit for a long time.
To be precise, from the first day he contracted it, Su Yi had often used the Vegetation Essence Fruit to fool it. It was only today that he was really prepared to fulfill his promise.
There were many types of Vegetation Essence Fruits, and their prices varied. Some contained a little more spiritual energy, while others contained a little less. They were very expensive.
However, Su Yi could clearly see the information of these items, so he did not have to worry about being tricked.
Soon, he bought a high-quality Vegetation Essence Fruit for 40,000 yuan. Thorn Grass's mood instantly turned from gloomy to sunny. It was so excited that it turned itself into a dough twist.
"It's for your evolution. You haven't been promoted to six-star Apprentice, so I can't give it to you. I'll keep it for you for now."
Su Yi could not help but remind it.
Hearing this, Thorn Grass was stunned for more than ten seconds before it reacted. Then, as if it had withered, it lay on the ground and transmitted a large amount of sadness, disappointment, and anxiety.
Su Yi completely ignored its pitiful act and smiled to cheer it up.
"Go for it. You're close to breaking through. You can do it!"
Thorn Grass: …
Seeing that acting pitiful was useless, the Thorn Grass could only turn its desire into motivation and start to work harder to improve itself.
After returning from the Haitao Market, Su Yi's life became very monotonous again. Apart from eating and the necessary exercise, he spent most of his time meditating.
The class group chat was rather lively. Many students were sharing photos of themselves training in various institutions.
After another two days, a system notification suddenly appeared in Su Yi's mind.
"Ding… Thorn Grass has been upgraded to Apprentice Level, 6 Stars. Demonization conditions have been met…"
