Chapter 466
To be aware, the raw stones on the third floor were all carefully appraised by him alone before being moved up there!
After all, the raw stones displayed on the third floor are priced extremely high.
If he were to casually place some raw stones of overly low quality, it might cause Guests to feel that they’ve lost too much.
This invariably damages the reputation of Jinghua Building…
Additionally, if the marked prices were too low yet yielded high-quality raw stones when cut, Jinghua Building would be operating at a loss!
Therefore, when he was just told that a top-grade Blue Fluorite had been cut on the third floor, he felt somewhat pained…
However, this was within his expectations, even before the stone was cut.
He had already identified that there was a blue gemstone inside that raw stone; it’s just that its grade couldn’t be determined until it was cut…
Fortunately, that raw stone had a high marked price of 888 top-grade Dark Stones.
Even after cutting a top-grade Blue Fluorite, Jinghua Building still made a substantial profit…
But now, hearing Xuanyuan Che declare it to be an ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone, the Treasure Appraiser was beside himself!
How could this be possible?
How could there be an ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone?
Within a few steps, he was beside Dongfang Lan, greeting him politely, “Second Young Master!”
“Mr.
Lin, take a look at this!” Dongfang Lan snapped back to reality and, just as he saw Treasure Appraiser Lin Yan approaching, he handed over the ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone that he was holding and said.
Lin Yan took the purple gemstone from Dongfang Lan’s hand, scrutinized it carefully for a long time, and stammered, “It’s really true, truly an ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone, how could this be possible…”
Lin Yan too was deeply shaken.
Mo Jiuli unceremoniously took the ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone from the stunned Lin Yan’s hand, looked at Shui Qianhui across from her and smiled, “Eldest Lady Shui, do you still remember what you’ve lost?”
“You…
I am the Eldest Lady of the Shui Clan; if you dare to disgrace me, the Shui Clan won’t let you get away with it!” Shui Qianhui angrily retorted upon hearing this, remembering her Gambling Agreement with Mo Jiuli, and instantly felt somewhat panicked.
“The Shui Clan?
Sorry, I don’t recognize them!
I hope Eldest Lady Shui honors the Gambling Agreement!
Otherwise, the Oath Rule doesn’t care whether you’re the Eldest Lady of the Shui Clan or the Bird Clan!” Mo Jiuli spoke indifferently.
“You…
you…
I’m calling off the bet!
Take back the Gambling Agreement!” Shui Qianhui glared at Mo Jiuli and demanded.
There is a special method within the Oath Rule: if the outcome of a bet between two parties is determined, within half an hour after that, the winning party can dissolve the Gambling Agreement.
This way, the losing party isn’t obliged to fulfill the terms of the Gambling Agreement and won’t be cast into Endless Hell by the Oath Rule…
This could be considered a rather humane rule…
“Idiot!”
Mo Jiuli coldly uttered a single word as she looked at Shui Qianhui, then turned to Chenxiang and the others, “Let’s go back.”
“Yes, Lady!” Chenxiang responded.
“Stop right there…”
“Madam, please wait a moment!”
Shui Qianhui and Dongfang Lan shouted simultaneously.
Mo Jiuli turned her head to glance at the two of them, but finally fixed her gaze on Dongfang Lan and asked, “Is there a problem?”
“This is the situation: the ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone in your hand was a mistake on the part of our Jinghua Building.
I wonder if Madam could possibly…”
“What do you think?” Mo Jiuli interrupted with a smile before Dongfang Lan could finish speaking; after all, it wasn’t her who set the price, but Jinghua Building itself that marked it.
At these words, Dongfang Lan’s face became somewhat embarrassed.
If it were him, he certainly wouldn’t return it.
But if the ultimate-grade Purple Immortal Stone that was bought from their Jinghua Building for just one top-grade Dark Stone today turned out to be true, their Jinghua Building would definitely become the laughingstock of the entire Continent.
They would basically have sold a pearl for the price of a Stone…
