He made a hand seal, and a faint blue light enveloped his body.

Gradually, the appearance of the Suhe River began to change.

The powerful spiritual energy emanating from him was completely concealed.

Su He nodded in satisfaction, knowing that his disguise was now flawless.

He carried the brocade pouch and flew away from Qingxuan Valley.

Suhe flew swiftly and soon arrived at the foot of the mountain.

He landed in a secluded spot and put away his flying artifact.

At this point, Su He had completely become an ordinary passerby.

He was dressed in coarse cloth clothes and carried a tattered cloth bag, looking like a farmer going to the market.

Suhe arrived at the Lingshi Market at the foot of the mountain and was immediately attracted by the lively scene there.

The market was bustling with people, with stalls of all kinds lined up one after another, and shouts of vendors rising and falling.

Some stalls displayed spirit stones of various colors, while others showcased a dazzling array of jade artifacts and magical treasures.

Here, there are not only ordinary monks and merchants, but also many important figures dressed in magnificent robes.

They appraised the spirit stones in their hands while haggling with the stall owner, appearing quite adept at it.

Su He couldn't help but sigh. This spirit stone market was indeed a wonder of the cultivation world, where all sorts of people could be found.

He sighed as he wandered among the stalls, searching for jade suitable for raising gold-eating insects.

Finally, Suhe stopped in front of an inconspicuous little stall.

Several pieces of crystal-clear jade were displayed at the stall, exuding a faint spiritual aura.

Su He could tell at a glance that these jade stones were of superior quality and were very suitable for raising gold-eating insects.

"Fellow Daoist, hello! I see you're quite interested in my jade!"

The stall owner was an elderly man with a white beard, who greeted Su He with a smile.

Su He quickly stepped forward and carefully examined the jade.

"Senior, what are the properties of these jade stones?"

The old man smiled, picked up a piece of jade, and said, "This piece of jade is an ancient spiritual jade, containing powerful wood-attribute spiritual energy."

If used to forge magical artifacts, it can greatly enhance the artifacts' resilience and spiritual power.

Su He nodded, then picked up another piece of jade and asked about it.

The old man introduced the properties and uses of jade in turn, and Su He listened and nodded repeatedly, having already made his choice.

"Senior, I want these three jade stones."

I wonder how many spirit stones it would take to exchange for it?

Suhe asked.

The old man smiled and quoted an exorbitant price.

"These three pieces of jade are all rare and excellent materials, each worth a fortune."

"If you want it, fellow Daoist, then trade it for ten thousand mid-grade spirit stones!"

Su He was secretly surprised when he heard the price.

But he remained expressionless and instead took out a spirit stone from his pocket.

"Senior, what do you think of this spirit stone?"

Su He handed the spirit stone to the old man with a confident expression.

The old man took the spirit stone and examined it carefully.

"What kind of spirit stone is this? I've never seen such pure spiritual energy before!"

Su He smiled and said, "Senior has a good eye! This is a top-grade spirit stone that I collected in the deep mountains. The spiritual power it contains is many times stronger than that of ordinary spirit stones."

If used to forge magical artifacts, the effects would be absolutely astonishing!

Upon hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up instantly.

He nodded repeatedly, saying, "Excellent! Excellent! This spirit stone is indeed extraordinary!"

Su He was secretly delighted to see the old man take the bait.

He continued, "Senior, I have a few more similar spirit stones here."

How about we exchange it for the jade you have?

The old man hesitated for a moment and said, "Well... that's true, but I've never seen your spirit stones before, so I don't know their value."

How about you bring me a few more pieces to look at?

Su He smiled and took out a few more spirit stones from his pocket.

"Senior, what do you think of the quality of the spirit stones I have here? If I exchange them for your jade, I definitely won't lose out!"

As Su He spoke, he observed the old man's reaction.

The old man looked at the spirit stone in Su He's hand, stroked his beard, and fell into deep thought.

It seems the old man is already tempted.

He continued, "Senior, how about this? I have ten high-grade spirit stones here, each one no less valuable than the jade in your hand."

How about we switch like this? Is that okay?

The old man still hesitated after hearing this.

He decided to add fuel to the fire, so he said, "Senior, the spirit stones here are all rare treasures."

If you miss this opportunity, you'll never be able to buy it again.

Just think about it, when you trade these high-grade spirit stones later, they'll be worth far more than jade!

After hearing Su He's words, the old man swallowed and said, "Young friend, your spirit stones are indeed quite good."

However, you must understand that this jade of mine is a rare and excellent material! If you really want to exchange it, then we'll have to see how sincere you are!

Su He chuckled inwardly; he knew the old man would say that.

So he pretended to be in a difficult position and said, "Senior, as you know, I risked my life to collect these spirit stones."

"If we really need to exchange it, then I'll have to check if your jade is up to standard!"

A hint of displeasure appeared on the old man's face.

But he still forced a smile and said, "Young friend, these jade stones of mine are all ancient spiritual jade. If you really want to exchange them, then you'll have to show enough sincerity!"

Su He looked at the old man, secretly making plans in his heart.

Although the spirit stones in my possession are of excellent quality, the quantity is limited.

If you really want to exchange jade with the old man, you should try to exchange for as much as possible.

Su He pondered for a moment and said, "Senior, how about this? I have a total of twenty high-grade spirit stones here, each one a rare find."

Let's make this trade; I'll take all your jade!

The old man was still somewhat hesitant.

Seeing the old man's hesitant expression, Su He knew his opportunity had arrived.

He smiled slightly and began his performance.

"Senior, I know you are a businessman who only cares about profit."

However, sometimes we also need to uphold the principle of trustworthiness!

As Su He spoke, he placed the spirit stones in his hand on the stall.

"Look, I have twenty high-grade spirit stones here. If we use them to refine magical artifacts, the results will be absolutely amazing!"

"However, the reason I came here today is because I have my eye on these few pieces of jade of yours."

I believe that with your discerning eye, you will be able to recognize the value of these jade stones.

"If we can close the deal, it will be a good thing for both of us."

You can use these high-grade spirit stones to refine magical artifacts, and then sell them; you'll definitely make a fortune!

"And I will also get a few pieces of fine jade to feed my pets."

In this way, neither of us loses out, right?
