Chapter 2934: Real Value

Li Qiye took out the wooden carving for another look after getting far away from the master-maid duo . He turned it over a couple of times in order to be meticulous .

Bai Jinning also stared at the carving because she liked it at the start, not just because it cost a hundred million stones .

“Looks like you really like this carving . ” Li Qiye smiled .

“It… used to be an inheritance treasure from our clan but we needed to pawn it . It was passed down from a very ancient ancestor . ” She said softly, not knowing what kind of expression she had right now .

“Your clan has a karmic tie with Buddhism?” Li Qiye chuckled while casually throwing the carving up and catching it .

This naturally scared the wits out of Jinning . Her eyes followed the falling trajectory . What if Li Qiye were to miss? The thing would break on the ground .

“I… I don’t know . I was too young but it was around when I was still back in the clan . We pawned it a bit later then I went to cultivate . ” She couldn’t stay calm right now .

Her clan was from the wildland . However, according to the old seniors, they used to live in Immortal Lineage and needed to move for some reason .

They used to be illustrious but kept on declining, resulting in the move . Everything valuable needed to be pawned off or sold . This Buddha carving was the last item .

The seniors said that this was their defining treasure . They have worshipped it for generations and in return, the carving granted them protection and peace .

During Jinning’s generation, the clan became destitute . The seniors wanted to rise up again because they were on the verge of becoming a mortal clan .

Finally, in order to pay for her cultivation expenses, one senior decided to pawn off this carving in order to buy ample resources for her training .

She didn’t let them down either, eventually becoming a captain of the famous legion .

Though this achievement wasn’t much in the grand scheme of things, she was still considered a cultivation expert - the strongest one within the last few generations of their clan .

She didn’t expect to see this carving again today - something that could be described as a touch of fate .

That’s why she was completely mesmerized while looking at the display window . Alas, the price of 300,000 stones remained out of her reach .

The next event shocked her even more, Li Qiye spent an insane price to buy the wooden carving .

“The seniors said that this carving has a protective property . ” The girl was as nervous as can be while looking at Li Qiye playing toss .

Even though it didn’t belong to her and that she would never be able to afford the price paid by Li Qiye, she still didn’t want him to break it .

“This Buddha can grant peace?” Li Qiye smiled and continued to play with it .

“Stop throwing it, what if you break it? It still cost 100,000,000 . ” She finally glared at him .

He stopped and smiled: “If it can break that easily, it wouldn’t have been able to protect your clan for generations since it can’t even protect itself . ”

This logic was a little strange but she still agreed with it . However, it has been in her clan for so long so she had a soft spot for it .

Nevertheless, she felt much better now that he had stopped and heaved a sigh of relief . He clearly didn’t care for this item despite how much he spent on it .

“Why did you spend so much to buy it? 30,000,000 would have been enough . ” Jinning asked .

She thought that he must have loved it in order to justify the sum . Now, this didn’t look to be the case considering how careless he was with it .

“What’s the difference? It’s like buying a meat bun in the morning for someone like you, does it matter if it’s three coins or ten?” Li Qiye smiled .

“No, there’s none . ” She said .

Though she was no big deal compared to Eternals and emperors, it was fine for her to spend ten coins in the world of mortals . It wasn’t even pocket change . She wouldn’t mind spending ten coins even though the bun was only worth three .

“See? 30,000,000 and 100,000,000 are the same thing to me . ” Li Qiye said .

She became breathless after hearing this . Either number was unreachable for her and nearly all the experts in the world .

Even the princes and dao children of the big sects couldn’t afford this sum, evident by the two monks failing to outbid him .

This disparity between him and everyone else could only be described by one phrase - the difference between heaven and earth .

“However, it is worth that much . ” He added during her daze .

“Is, is it worth 100,000,000?” She couldn’t believe it; her eyes opened wide .

In her memories, her clan only got ten or twenty thousand stones from pawning it . It exchanged owners several times later and eventually ended up with the price of 300,000 .

This price was already unreasonable in her mind . She wouldn’t even be able to buy it back given her current abilities . Thus, his appraisal truly frightened her .

This carving was precious to her for sentimental values . It represented her clan’s solidarity and peace .

It was only an inheritance token at best, not a real treasure .

For 300,000, she would definitely buy it when she had the money . As for 3,000,000? This required further rumination .

For 100,000,000? She wouldn’t buy it even if she had the money . This price was illogical for a wooden carving .

“In fact, adding a few more zeroes are fine . Eternal true stones can’t measure its value . ” Li Qiye smiled: “Even though I have enough money to burn, I still won’t buy trash . ”

Jinning agreed because he didn’t care for the other treasures in the shop . He could have gotten them for free too . This meant that they didn’t live up to his standards .

“It is that precious?” She stared at the carving, perplexed .

She had seen it many times before growing up and never noticed anything peculiar .

“It would be amazing if you could recognize its value . Your ancestors were clearly capable, would they pick any random item to be the family heirloom?” Li Qiye said .

“You’re right . ” She replied .

The seniors said that their clan used to be wealthy and prestigious . These ancestors still valued the wooden carving in spite of this .

How could it only be a regular carving? She never thought about this issue before until now .

“Then, what is it? Is it really carved by the Buddhist progenitor himself?” She speculated .
