"Ah, Cousin, you've been scammed! Those are all standard tricks used by swindlers. They set up artificial hurdles to make their wares seem precious—making you swear oaths, forbidding you from looking until you've left the underground market, demanding outrageous prices—all of it is sheer nonsense designed to trap bargain hunters! Boo-hoo-hoo, Cousin, I'm so sorry, I've caused you to lose a million immortal stones. That must have been your entire net worth from your banishment this time, right? Ahhh, those hateful swindlers, they're so damn greedy, swindling away every last immortal stone you had!"
"Even among the old-school swindlers, the greediest ones never dared to demand a sky-high price of a million immortal stones."
"Waaah, it's all my fault! I shouldn't have brought Cousin here, and I shouldn't have comforted you by saying there might be miracles here." Thinking of the whipping and punishment he would get from his dad and grandpa when he got back, he couldn't help shivering all over. He really didn't want to face family discipline!
