Chapter 371: Underestimating Value

“Hongxia, I’m not lying to you; everything I said is true…” Ye Jian quickly explained.

“I just contacted my dad, and he didn’t reply at all. Do you really think you can convince me you’re not lying? Do you believe I won’t kick you out of the group?”

Liu Hongxia was a bit angry; she hated being deceived more than anything.

Moreover, Ye Jian had even brought up her biological father, Li Xiaojun, to trick her.

“Ye Jian, do you think just because you discovered we both have the same dad, you can deceive me?” Liu Hongxia asked coldly.

“Hongxia, I really haven’t lied to you. It was our dad, Li Xiaojun, who took the colorful fragment. By the way, he said the colorful fragment is called Creation Jade Plate fragment, and he mentioned he would help explain it to you. Didn’t he give you an explanation?” Ye Jian asked Liu Hongxia.

“Not at all,” Liu Hongxia said frostily. “Ye Jian, you better not deceive me again, or don’t blame me for not considering our sisterly bond.”

“Ah! Hongxia, what can I do to make you believe me?” Ye Jian scratched her head in frustration.

“Since you say our dad took the fragment, tell me what he said to you, and also describe what he looks like. Draw me a picture.” Liu Hongxia said to Ye Jian.

Hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian quickly replied, “Here’s how it went…”

Then, Ye Jian recounted what had happened between her and Li Xiaojun.

“This is the picture I drew of our dad; take a look.” Ye Jian sent Liu Hongxia the image she drew of Li Xiaojun.

Seeing Ye Jian’s drawing, Liu Hongxia said lightly, “This picture doesn’t count. Perhaps someone in the large group chat has leaked what our dad looks like?”

“By the way, didn’t you say our dad gave you a lot of demon essence? Trade half of the demon essence with me so that I can verify if it’s true, and consider it your compensation to me.” Liu Hongxia said to Ye Jian.

Upon hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian did not agree immediately, as she was unsure of the value of the demon essence.

So she asked Liu Hongxia, “Hongxia, what is the demon essence used for?”

“Didn’t dad tell you how to use the demon essence?” Liu Hongxia responded with a question.

“No, he came and went in a rush,” Ye Jian shook her head.

“The demon essence is something like a good elixir; its value mainly depends on its quality. The better the quality, the more expensive it is.”

“You’re at the Transformation stage of cultivation, so I think dad wouldn’t have given you too good of a demon essence. By the way, how many groups of demon essence did he give you, and what qualities are they?” Liu Hongxia asked Ye Jian.

Hearing this, Ye Jian looked at the hundreds of groups of demon essence in her space, which varied in color and tone, then said nonchalantly to Liu Hongxia, “Dad gave me over sixty groups of demon essence.”

Without waiting for Liu Hongxia to respond, she continued to ask, “Hongxia, how do you differentiate the quality of the demon essence?”

“The demon essence can only be extracted from the bodies of cultivators at the immortal level, so it is classified from light to dark, into human immortal level, like thin white mist; Earth Immortal level, like thick fog; Heavenly Immortal level, like dense white smoke; True Immortal level, like white cotton; Profound Immortal level, like white sponge; Golden Immortal level, like white crystals…”

Finally, Liu Hongxia said to Ye Jian, “I think the demon essence dad gave you should be like thin white mist, right?”

Upon hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian nodded, “Yes, they are all like white mist of demon essence.”

However, while responding to Liu Hongxia, Ye Jian also glanced at her space.

She saw that in her space, she had approximately over two hundred and thirty groups of demon essence at the human immortal level, resembling thin white mist.

She had over one hundred and ninety groups at the Earth Immortal level, appearing like thick fog.

She had over one hundred and twenty groups at the Heavenly Immortal level, resembling white smoke.

At the True Immortal level, which looked like white cotton, she still had over eighty groups.

Finally, at the Profound Immortal level, which looked like white sponge, she had at least more than twenty groups.

As for the Golden Immortal level demon essence, she didn’t have a single group.

However, the total amount of demon essence given to her by Li Xiaojun amounted to nearly over six hundred fifty groups.

……

On the other side, hearing Ye Jian say they were all human immortal level demon essence, Liu Hongxia thought for a moment and said, “Here’s the deal: you give me thirty groups of demon essence to compensate for my loss. You know that the Golden Immortal-level attack talisman is definitely not something that can be exchanged for just thirty groups of demon essence.”

“And, sell me the remaining thirty groups of demon essence as well. I will offer you ten billion superior grade spirit stones for each group. What do you think?”

Upon hearing Liu Hongxia’s words, Ye Jian pretended to hesitate for a moment, then nodded and said, “Alright, let’s make this trade.”

Soon, Liu Hongxia gifted her a trading opportunity, and both sides began the transaction.

Liu Hongxia saw that Ye Jian really did trade her sixty groups of demon essence, so she had no doubts about Ye Jian’s claim that the colorful fragment was taken by Li Xiaojun.

Because apart from Li Xiaojun, no one could teleport to Ye Jian’s side. Although Li Xiaojun’s children could communicate with one another through the system space, they couldn’t teleport between each other.

Moreover, the only person who could give Ye Jian sixty groups of demon essence, other than Li Xiaojun, would be unlikely.

Liu Hongxia knew that only those who had a good relationship with Li Xiaojun could possess demon essence.

And everyone who owned demon essence knew its preciousness, so no one would willingly give away sixty groups of demon essence for no reason.

The value of demon essence is extremely high; extracting each group requires the bodies of dozens or even hundreds of demons.

Therefore, the demon essence in Ye Jian’s possession could only be explained as being given by Li Xiaojun.

“Ye Jian, did Dad give you anything good besides the demon essence when he left?” Liu Hongxia asked Ye Jian.

“Well, he gave me some superior grade spirit stones and immortal essence stones, and he also helped me improve my talent once,” Ye Jian replied to Liu Hongxia.

She didn’t hide the fact that Li Xiaojun gave her spirit stones and improved her talent, but she did conceal the exact number of spirit stones he provided.

If Liu Hongxia knew her biological father, Li Xiaojun, had given her billions of immortal essence stones, who knows how she would react.

Ye Jian only dared to say that Li Xiaojun gave her sixty groups of demon essence, directly stating ten times less.

What Ye Jian didn’t know was that Li Xiaojun, considering the value of the Creation Jade Plate, had given her only high-quality immortal essence stones, over four billion in total.

If Liu Hongxia learned about this, her eyes would definitely turn red with envy.

Billions of superior-grade immortal essence stones; Liu Hongxia’s entire fortune wouldn’t even be one-tenth of that amount.

In fact, Liu Hongxia still underestimated the value of the Creation Jade Plate, as well as the compensation given by Li Xiaojun, who was unwilling to take too much advantage of his children.

If Li Xiaojun had been more ruthless, he definitely wouldn’t have given Ye Jian such abundant resources.

This was also something Liu Hongxia didn’t consider, so when Ye Jian said Li Xiaojun only gave her sixty groups of demon essence, she believed it.
