Spirit jade is nothing more than a piece of jade containing a tiny bit of spiritual energy. In the mortal world, it might be considered a fine piece of jade, but in the world of cultivation, it's nothing. The spiritual energy it contains can't even compare to a spirit pearl.

Du Qingshuang held up two fingers: "Will you sell the two spirit pearls?"

The stall owner grinned and said, "Selling, selling, selling! Little sister, this jade monkey is yours."

Rong Jiaojiao...

Seeing Rong Jiaojiao looking at the jade carvings on her stall, the stall owner asked, "Little sister, would you like to buy one too?"

Rong Jiaojiao snapped out of her daze and saw that her stall had all kinds of jade carvings, including the twelve zodiac animals and artificial rockery bonsai, each one of which was very exquisite.

She thought of her family and wanted to buy one for each of them, but she really didn't know what her parents' zodiac signs were, or even her master's. In the end, she only bought three, one for herself and one for each of her two older brothers.

Continuing on, half an hour later, they had almost reached the end of the street but hadn't seen what they wanted.

Leng Tianyou said, "There shouldn't be anything more ahead. Why don't we go back and check out the Xuanxiu Alliance headquarters? They often have valuable things there."

Everyone else nodded and prepared to turn back, but Rong Jiaojiao acted as if she hadn't heard him and went straight to a stall in the corner, so everyone had no choice but to follow her.

The stall owner was a teenager dressed in Xuanjimen clothing.

The boy had delicate features and a slightly chubby face, but his eyes revealed a maturity beyond his years.

He held a constantly spinning compass in his hand, but it immediately stopped spinning when Rong Jiaojiao came in front of him.

The boy smiled, put away the compass, and asked, "What does the little girl want?"

The stall in front of him had several books, some array plates, a pill furnace, several small bags of spirit herb seeds, several pots of spirit herbs, and several pieces of ore.

Rong Jiaojiao's gaze fell on the few pieces of ore, and the boy asked again, "Little sister, do you want these ore pieces?"

Rong Jiaojiao nodded: "Big brother, how much are these stones?"

She called him "big brother" because she couldn't tell his cultivation level.

The boy smiled and said, "I'm selling all these things together. If you want to buy them, I'll give you this price."

He held up two fingers, and Rong Jiaojiao was overjoyed: "Big brother, did you calculate that I only have two spirit stones, so you're selling them to me cheaply?"

The boy choked up. He hadn't calculated it. He just wanted to collect two thousand spirit stones, but he was afraid that saying it would scare the girl. He wanted to give her some time to process it.

Seeing his ever-changing expression, and finally his indescribable look, Rong Jiaojiao looked at him innocently.

Just then, a young boy's voice rang out: "Jiaojiao, is that really you?"

Rong Jiaojiao turned her head and saw Wei Jingqi, Xiang Ruyi, and several unfamiliar disciples walking towards them.

When Xiang Ruyi saw Rong Jiaojiao again, she was much less hostile, but she still didn't want Wei Jingqi to have much contact with Rong Jiaojiao.

She immediately grabbed Rong Jiaojiao and said, "Jiaojiao, I didn't expect to see you here. Your brother Jingqi often talks about you!"

After saying that, seeing Wei Jingqi's happy and agreeable expression, Xiang Ruyi smiled, confident that she had a good grasp of Wei Jingqi's personality.

Rong Jiaojiao was also happy to see Wei Jingqi. She said, "I came to play with my senior sisters today. I didn't expect to run into you guys. What a coincidence!"

Wei Jingqi then remembered to greet Leng Tianyou and the others. After exchanging pleasantries, Xiang Ruyi finally remembered the purpose of their visit.

He looked at the young man setting up the stall and said, "Uncle-Master, we're going back to our sect. Would you like to come with us?"

The boy didn't reply to her, but instead looked at Rong Jiaojiao: "Little sister, would you like to buy something from me?"

"You really want to sell it to me for two spirit stones?"

A male cultivator following Xiang Ruyi glanced at Rong Jiaojiao with disdain and said, "How dare you say that? Two spirit stones aren't even enough to buy a single spirit herb."

Rong Jiaojiao nodded dejectedly: "Okay, I don't really want it that much anymore."

She could sense the longing emanating from the secret realm that everything on the young boy's stall was actually valuable, especially the alchemy furnace, but she didn't want anything right now.

She sensed danger from the boy.

After she finished speaking, she looked at Xiang Ruyi and said, "Pretty sister, how about I treat you and handsome brother to dinner?"

Xiang Ruyi asked, "A meal costs at least ten spirit stones. Are you willing to spend that much?"

Rong Jiaojiao took out two spirit stones and said, "How about we eat spirit noodles? Two spirit stones are enough to treat everyone."

The boy protested, saying, "You promised to buy my things for two spirit stones, how can you go back on your word?"

Everyone...

The male cultivator who had just said that two spirit stones weren't enough to buy a single spiritual herb blushed and said incredulously, "Uncle-Master, how could you sell her for two spirit stones? Why don't you sell it to me for two hundred?"

The young boy ignored him, took out a spatial talisman, put everything away, and handed it to Rong Jiaojiao: "Here's the stuff, give me the spirit stones."

Before Rong Jiaojiao could react, the spirit stone in her hand had been taken away, and she now held a spatial talisman.

The young boy took the spirit stone and turned to leave, saying as he went, "Little girl, remember my name, Jun Yuangui!"

Xiang Ruyi quickly said to Rong Jiaojiao, "We're leaving now, let's get together again next time."

After saying that, he pulled Wei Jingqi and the others to catch up with Jun Yuangui. As they walked, Wei Jingqi turned back and said, "Goodbye, Jiaojiao. I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Rong Jiaojiao waved goodbye to him woodenly!

After this series of events, everyone was still a bit bewildered.

Leng Tianyou and Leng Tianqi were still lost in thought after hearing the boy's name, while Hu Buwei looked at the space talisman in Rong Jiaojiao's hand with envy.

Rong Jiaojiao reluctantly put away the spatial talisman and said, "Junior Nephew Tianyou, let's go too!"

Leng Tianyou snapped out of his daze, nodded, and led everyone back. Leng Tianqi said, "I never expected to meet the legendary good-for-nothing's personal disciple!"

Rong Jiaojiao asked in confusion, "What kind of useless personal disciple?"

Du Qingshuang patted her and said, "I told you to come out and play with us more often, but you wouldn't. You only know how to bury yourself in cultivation and don't know anything else, do you?"

Rong Jiaojiao grabbed her and asked, "What exactly is this legend?"

Du Qingshuang said, "Legend has it that more than ten years ago, the Taoist Xuanji brought a child back from the mortal world and took him as his last disciple."

"Everyone thought he was a prodigy, but after a few years, when they saw that the child had no cultivation at all, his reputation as a useless disciple gradually spread."

"Over the years, we've only heard rumors about him, but few people have actually seen him. We never expected to meet him here today."

Leng Tianqi said, "Although I can't sense his cultivation level, I can guarantee that his strength is above mine."

Hu Buwei nodded in agreement with Leng Tianqi's statement: "I think so too, because he gives me a very dangerous feeling."

Leng Tianyou nodded: "It seems the rumors are unreliable."
