Following Zi Yanqiong, we entered the depths of the canyon.

"That's the merchant, his name is Ma An."

"Fellow Daoist, you've arrived."

Ahead, a merchant of medium build, at the fifth level of Qi Sea, smiled at Zi Yanqiong.

Fifth level of Qi Sea?

Su Yun raised an eyebrow. This level of strength was rare in this canyon, second only to the merchants in the deepest part of the valley, making him one of the strongest.

Zi Yanqiong stared at Ma An and asked, "Well, have you prepared the ten Phoenix Spirit Grasses I requested?"

Upon hearing this, Ma An immediately smiled and said, "Of course, everything is prepared. I would never make empty promises."

Then, he glanced at Su Yun and asked with some surprise, "And who is this?"

Zi Yanqiong said, "He is my junior brother, don't worry about him, just take out the Phoenix Spirit Grass."

After listening, Ma An nodded, then glanced around and said, "Fellow Daoists, please come inside with me."

Following Ma An, we entered the house at the back.

Ma An closed the door, looking very cautious.

Then, he took out a bag from his storage ring and handed it to Zi Yanqiong.

He then smiled and said, "Fellow Daoist, all ten of them are high-grade Phoenix Spirit Grasses, not one is missing."

After taking it, Zi Yanqiong first checked it herself.

After realizing that he couldn't easily distinguish between the real and fake, he handed it to Su Yun.

Su Yun glanced down.

Immediately, his eyebrows twitched slightly.

He looked up at Ma An and said with a smile, "Boss, is this Phoenix Spirit Grass?"

"I've heard of several herbs that are very similar to Phoenix Spirit Grass, especially one called something like Phoenix Grass. It's almost identical in appearance and aura. Don't get it wrong."

After listening, Ma An paused for a moment, then immediately said, "How could that be? I specialize in selling spiritual herbs, I would never make a mistake, young brother, you don't need to doubt me."

Upon hearing this, Su Yun glanced at Zi Yanqiong.

Then, his smile faded, and he said calmly, "Boss, do you think we can't tell the difference between Phoenix Spirit Grass and Phoenix-like Grass, so you're so confident in cheating us?"

Upon hearing this, Ma An's eyes flickered for a moment, then he continued, "Fellow Daoist, don't talk nonsense. This is clearly Phoenix Spirit Grass. How can you say it's a Phoenix-like Grass?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun coldly replied, "Are you implying that I, a mid-level alchemist, cannot even distinguish a spirit-grade herb?"

Intermediate-level alchemist?

Ma An's expression changed slightly.

Meanwhile, Zi Yanqiong's anger was already burning.

"You bastard, you really dare to deceive me with the Phoenix-like Grass?"

Without saying a word, she raised her hand and grabbed it.

Seeing this, Ma An wanted to turn around and run away.

However, although he was at the fifth level of the Qi Sea Realm, he was no match for Zi Yanqiong.

In an instant, Zi Yanqiong grabbed his shoulder and slammed him onto the table with a bang. Her palm flashed with light, suppressing him and rendering him unable to move.

Ma An was immediately alarmed!

I hadn't realized before that this young man was so strong. He held me down with one hand, making me feel like I couldn't muster any strength at all!

Beside him, Su Yun stared at Ma An and said calmly, "Scamming and cheating on the black market, you really have a lot of nerve, don't you? Are you looking for death?"

Seeing that he couldn't break free, Ma An immediately said, "I was wrong, I was wrong."

"This was not my intention; I had no other choice. Please forgive me this time."

Zi Yanqiong raised her hand and slapped Ma An, shouting, "Speak! What exactly happened! Did you only have that one Phoenix Spirit Grass I asked for? Were the other ten you promised just a deliberate attempt to cheat me out of resources?"

Ten precious Phoenix Spirit Grasses are worth at least 100,000 spirit stones, so this guy has every motive!

Ma An repeatedly said, "Fellow Daoists, I was truly bewitched for a moment."

“I once saw a large patch of Phoenix Spirit Grass in a mountain range. Because I have been picking and reselling spiritual herbs for many years, I can recognize the difference.”

"But only one matured that day. The rest will take about half a month to mature. I don't know how to transplant and cultivate them, so I had to pick one first and take it to the black market to see if anyone needs it."
