Chapter 621: Estimating the Value, an Opening Price

Seeing his younger sister unwilling to reveal the buyer’s identity, Wu Ming fell into thought.

What she said made sense. The Wu Family’s losses were severe at present. Regardless of who the other party was, if they wanted the Ascending Platform, it had to be for Ascendants from the lower realm. The room for pricing was vast—perhaps they could take a hefty sum from them to shore up the family’s temporary difficulties.

“Little sister, what do you think this Ascending Platform is worth?”

Wu Ming didn’t answer immediately, but asked in return.

If Wu Ming agreed, his younger sister’s willingness to ask for the buyer meant she agreed too. But they still had to consult the other two branches. The price would need to be attractive, or those branches might refuse.

“I don’t understand such things. Big brother, you can explain it in detail, and I’ll naturally convey the pros and cons to the other party. As long as the price is right, there should be room to talk.”

Wu Qiyue had always been absorbed in cultivation and rarely involved herself in family matters. How would she know? She passed the question back to Wu Ming.

Regarding this question, Wu Ming himself wasn’t entirely clear either—after all, no one had ever discussed this topic before.

But it could be estimated based on the Ascension population. Averaging three Ascendants per year, each Ascendant could be sold for around eight to ten thousand.

The annual yield would be twenty-four to thirty thousand. As long as nothing unexpected happened, this was a steady long-term income.

Of course, situations like the previous ten-thousand-year drought with no Ascendants were quite rare. If someone had wanted to buy back then, perhaps it couldn’t have fetched much. But last time, thirty thousand Ascendants ascended—that changed the price entirely.

Though it could be calculated this way, how many years should the sale cover? Too long, and the buyer wasn’t a fool—they naturally wouldn’t agree. Too short, and he’d feel cheated.

“Little sister, see if big brother’s reasoning makes sense. This Ascending Platform normally has Ascendants every year. One Ascendant is worth around eight to ten thousand Immortal Stones. Even counting just three per year, that’s still a fixed income of tens of thousands of Immortal Stones annually. If we’re selling, naturally we calculate a cycle. Not too much—let’s figure on ten thousand years. The market rate would be around three hundred million Immortal Stones.”
