Of course, this was the price for ordinary people.
For the old Taoist priest, the price might be doubled!
Because Xu Cong knew that the Tao Te Ching was the sacred scripture of Taoism. It was something that everyone in Taoism had to be familiar with.
Perhaps after the old Taoist bought it back, he would immediately hang it up and put it at home to show off to his fellow disciples?
Since you want to satisfy your vanity, you won't feel bad if I ask for more money, right?
As for being black-hearted, Xu Cong did not take it seriously.
As a businessman, earning money was the most important thing.
For such a big order, Xu Cong might not even be able to sell one piece in a month.
Now that he had finally caught a sucker, if he did not take a sum of money, it would be a waste of the school belle's good intentions!
Thinking of this, Xu Cong really had a good impression of this school belle whom he had not seen for several years.
She was simply his lucky star.
The two guests he brought today did not return empty-handed.
Thinking about it this way, the wood carving that he had sent over yesterday was simply too cost-effective. He had made a killing!
However, the transaction had not been completed yet, so he could not be too obvious. Otherwise, it would not be good if others saw that he was black-hearted.
After all, doing business was all about long-term flow, and the customers were all regular customers.
"Yes, the shop owner is really smart. He immediately told me what I want to buy.”
For the sake of the Tao Te Ching that was about to be in his hands, Xia Yujun didn't care about his face and slapped him with a rainbow fart without hesitation.
Xu Cong almost rolled his eyes. Your flattery is too low-level.
As long as you're not a fool, you'll know that you've taken a fancy to that word carving!
Of course, he would not say this out loud.
Xia Wanhe, who was beside him, couldn't help but roll her eyes. Grandpa was a Taoist expert!
He had a high status in Taoism. Even the leaders of the Secret Service Bureau had to be respectful when they saw him. Now, for a carving, he actually lowered his status and flattered others. It seemed that this carving was indeed very important to him.
"Xu Cong, how much is this character carving?”
Xia Wanhe hesitated for a moment and finally decided to buy it for her grandfather.
"Uh, five thousand dollars?"
When Xu Cong heard the school belle speak, he had originally planned to sell it at the normal price of two to three thousand.
However, the school belle was not short of money. Moreover, if he lowered the price, wouldn't it make his artwork seem worthless?
The value of a work of art was not easy to measure.
It didn't have a fixed price.
It could only be sold at a high price to the person it liked.
If you met someone you didn't like, even if you gave it to him, he would still complain that it took up space at home.
It was not easy to catch a big client, so Xu Cong naturally did not want to miss it for nothing.
"What?"
When Xia Yujun heard the price, he raised his voice several times.
This Dao De Jing word carving was a true supreme-grade magic tool. It contained supreme Dao runes. However, he had only comprehended it for a short while just now and had comprehended less than one-tenth of its essence.
He had already broken through the heavenly master who had trapped him for more than ten years!
If such a divine item was placed in the Dao Sect or even the entire cultivation world, countless people would break their heads to fight for it. But now, it was worth 5,000?
Who would dare to think that!
When Xu Cong saw the shocked expression on the old Taoist priest's face, he thought that he had asked for a high price and scared the other party!
However, the price had already been called out, so there was naturally no reason to take it back!
He smiled awkwardly, intending to use his glib tongue to convince the three of them, so he explained,""Taoist priest, you've seen it yourself. It's the complete Tao Te Ching! Just carving these thousands of words was a huge project.”
"Although the final effect is just a one-meter-long wooden board, its value is immeasurable.”
"I'm giving you this price because you're a member of the Dao Sect.”
"If it was an outsider who took a fancy to this word carving, I would sell it for 10,000 yuan no matter what to be worthy of its value.”
This reason was very convincing!
When Xia Yujun heard this, the expression on his face became strange again.
However, he suddenly seemed to have thought of something. His expression changed slightly, and then he revealed a surprised expression."I understand, I understand everything. It's precisely because I'm a member of the Dao Sect that you sold this word carving to me at such a cheap price, right?”
It was definitely what he had guessed!
The value of this word carving was immeasurable. It was the most precious treasure of the Dao Sect and a sacred object revered by countless Dao Sect people.
Since it was found in Miracle and placed in this shop, it must be waiting for its fated person.
All of this was the scheme of the senior expert behind Xu Cong!
He must have wanted to borrow the hands of this young man in front of him to return these divine items to those who needed them.
From there, he could strengthen the backbone of capturing ghosts and subduing demons, so that cultivators like him who had been fighting against demons could become stronger and contribute to society and world peace!
Including the birthday present for his granddaughter, the Yin God Reaper.
There was also the Ming Tu that Zhao Wen had just bought for 450 yuan!
All of this was planned by this senior expert behind the scenes!
He must be planning something earth-shattering, something that would wipe out demons and monsters!
Otherwise, how could these divine items be measured with money, a secular currency?
Money was probably nothing to that senior and this young man in front of him.
They just wanted to use this method to send these divine items out so that society would not be shocked and the fated person who obtained the divine items would not be suspicious.
This was their true goal!
They were doing a great deed that would benefit the entire human race!
Otherwise, why would these divine items be so cheap?
