Seeing Zhou Yuanyuan staring at the wall of the passage, Chaos Pearl hurriedly explained, "Master, it's like this. The jade spirit energy in these stones has been drained away by Little Jade Boss, and the stones have become waste stones!"

"Just like lush trees, they wither away after losing their vitality in an instant?" Suddenly, this metaphor came to Zhou Yuanyuan's mind.

"Yes, yes, everything in this world will turn into dust after losing its original 'spirituality'." Chaos Pearl felt that Zhou Yuanyuan's metaphor was really vivid.

"What a pity!" Zhou Yuanyuan looked at the gray stone skin and felt a surge of regret in her heart.

White jade in the north, like jadeite in the south, is a mid- to high-end jewelry.

Zhou Yuanyuan remembered that in her previous life, she worked in a shopping mall and had seen jade of this quality on the jewelry counter. Even a small piece was worth a month's salary for Zhou Yuanyuan.

Based on past life development, this jade vein would soon become a jade industry chain that the local residents depended on for survival. However, due to its location and limited water resources, the vegetation in this area is sparse and the soil is infertile, making it difficult to grow valuable crops. This jade mine could be considered the local residents' hope for poverty alleviation. She and Xiaoyu had shattered their hopes, would this affect their future lives?

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little reluctant.

"Master, what are you afraid of? You have spirit stones, and you can use them to nourish this jade vein!" Chaos Pearl saw that Zhou Yuanyuan was in a bad mood and quickly gave her an idea.

"Can it be revived? How?" Zhou Yuanyuan's eyes lit up when she heard Chaos Pearl say this. She almost forgot that Xiaoyu was busy, and she still had Chaos Pearl! They were all innate spiritual creatures that had lived for millions of years and had a lot of experience in pot repair!

"Master, when we were in Lingxiao Realm, Zhuzhu heard about the method of using spirit stones to cultivate jade mines. It's very simple! Just bury the spirit stones in a pile of ordinary stones. After twenty or thirty years, it will form a high-quality white jade mine." Chaos Pearl thought about it, and after making sure that his memory was correct, he told Zhou Yuanyuan the method of cultivating the mine.

"How do I bury it? How many spirit stones are needed?" Zhou Yuanyuan was completely confused. Could she say Zhuzhu was being too careless? How many spirit stones were needed to bury this vein? High-quality or low-quality? How deep? How far apart should I bury the stones? Without specific quantities and instructions, how was she supposed to proceed?

"Master, don't worry, it's very simple! At most ten low-grade spirit stones are needed to keep this vein alive." Chaos Pearl heard Zhou Yuanyuan's "secret complaints" and quickly made additional explanations.

"What? Ten low-grade spirit stones?" Zhou Yuanyuan found it a bit unbelievable. A jade mine stretching for hundreds of kilometers, and ten low-grade spirit stones were enough to deal with it?

"Eh?... Master, if you think ten low-grade spirit stones are too many, five low-grade spirit stones will also do. It's just that it will take twenty to thirty years longer to cultivate the mine. The quality of the jade ore cultivated by five low-grade spirit stones is also upper-middle quality." Chaos Pearl thought that Zhou Yuanyuan was reluctant to part with so many spirit stones, so he immediately gave a second option.

Is there any such operation? Zhou Yuanyuan felt a little dizzy.

Spiritual stones can nourish mineral veins, and can they be so cheap? The spiritual energy in five low-grade spirit stones can restore this abandoned mine to its original state? Oh my god...it seems like she has accidentally opened a "Pandora's Box" that will quickly make money?

If the other cultivators knew Zhou Yuanyuan's thoughts, they would surely be furious. Ten low-grade spirit stones were already a lot, right? Which cultivator in this time and space would be so extravagant as to use spirit stones to cultivate jade? At least half of the cultivators in the Langyuan Secret Realm had never seen spirit stones. Only a wealthy woman like Zhou Yuanyuan, who had made a fortune, would look down on ten low-grade spirit stones. Besides, jade and the like might be worth a bit of money to mortals, but for cultivators, they could only be used to make jade bottles for elixirs. Even if they had a lot, they wouldn't be as useful as spirit stones that could be used for cultivation at any time!

"Master, master, five low-grade spirit stones cannot be any less. If there are any less, the quality of the jade will not be high enough to refine the jade box and jade bottle." Chaos Pearl thought that Zhou Yuanyuan still thought it was "too expensive" and quickly reminded her.

In the Lingxiao Realm, there are many cultivators, and they need a lot of containers like jade boxes and bottles. Many sects use spirit stones to cultivate a white jade mine for their disciples to consume.

"No, I mean... Zhuzhu, let me think about it carefully." Zhou Yuanyuan stopped Chaos Pearl from muttering. She felt that she had overlooked something.

Such a large jade mine only needs five to ten low-grade spirit stones to restore it to its original state. Does this mean that the spiritual energy in ten low-grade spirit stones is equivalent to the jade spiritual energy in this jade mine?

Oh, and just now, to prevent Chaos Pearl from stealing Xiaoyu's "rations," Zhou Yuanyuan gave Chaos Pearl a storage bag of spirit stones! There were at least tens of thousands of spirit stones in the storage bag. Wasn't she losing out? Or... could she ask Zhuzhu for the eight hundred back? Would it give it back?

Zhou Yuanyuan was full of regret.

"Ahem... Zhuzhu~! Do you still have the storage bag I gave you just now?" Zhou Yuanyuan showed her "Grandma Wolf" smile again.

"Master, what do you want to do?" Chaos Pearl quickly covered his stomach. Seeing his master's terrifying smile, Chaos Pearl felt a little uneasy.

"Look, the jade spiritual energy of this jade vein is only worth ten spirit stones. Zhuzhu, shouldn't you return the extra spirit stones in the storage bag to me?" Zhou Yuanyuan gritted her teeth and said it.

"Master, master, you can't be like this. What you gave to Zhuzhu is Zhuzhu's. How can you think of taking it back?" Chaos Pearl was anxious. It wanted to keep those spirit stones to savor slowly when it had time, and now it hadn't touched a single one!

"Huh?..." Zhou Yuanyuan blushed. Indeed! Going back on one's word, this was the first time she had done such a thing, and she felt a little guilty.

"Master, master, your calculation is wrong. It is true that this jade vein can be nurtured with ten spirit stones, but that does not mean that the jade spirit energy here is only worth ten low-grade spirit stones?" Chaos Pearl wanted to cry, but still argued, otherwise, its bag of spirit stones would be in danger!

Could the owner's thinking be less bizarre? Isn't the key to nurturing jade the "nurture"? According to the owner's calculations, does giving birth to an eight-jin baby equate to eight-jin of pork?

Ugh! Its mindset has been confused by its owner. Can humans and pigs be the same?
