She became a god

"Did you get the stuff?"

The boy took out a large piece of jade and placed it on the table.

The jade was milky white all over, and under the sunlight, it was faintly visible that milk was flowing inside. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that it was a piece of water-white jade of excellent quality.

Zhao Huai'an was not satisfied. "Is there anything else?"

The boy then took out another piece of jade. This piece of jade was pink in varying shades, with a delicate texture and good luster. It was the famous "Hibiscus Red" jade from Dushan.

Upon seeing the jade, a slight smile appeared on Zhao Huai'an's face, but he was still not satisfied. "Do you have any sky-blue jade?"

Sky blue jade, with a fine texture similar to jadeite and a glassy luster, is the best variety of Dushan jade.

Even in Yucheng, a city with countless jade mines, sky blue jade is a rare and exquisite gem.

The boy shrugged and smiled, "If I really got my hands on the Azure Jade, how could I have gotten away so quickly?"

Zhao Huai'an shook his head and chuckled, "You've always been very bold; it's not impossible that you could manipulate us all."

The boy scoffed and emptied all the jade from the bag.

Besides the two pieces of white Dushan jade and the red Dushan jade that were just taken out, there are also two pieces of purple Dushan jade, three pieces of green Dushan jade, two pieces of brown Dushan jade, and a pile of raw stones.

"These are all the jade stones I brought back. If you want sky-blue jade, buy a raw stone and cut it open to see. One raw stone is worth 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. Do you want to buy it?"

Seeing the anger on the boy's face, Zhao Huai'an hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand and laughed, "Why are you still the same as before, not funny at all, Xiao Zhouzhou?"

The boy rolled his eyes at him. "Stop trying to get close to me. Cash on delivery. Set a price and send the money quickly. I have things to do."

Finally, after some haggling, the nine cut jade stones were sold for a total of 100,000 high-grade spirit stones.

Ye Qingzhou couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. If she were a craftswoman, the nine pieces of jade, after further processing, could easily fetch a price of over a million.

Seeing that Ling Shi was going to make a move, Ye Qingzhou turned and ran.

"Are you really not going to sit down and have a cup of tea?"

When his nephew came to visit, Zhao Huai'an couldn't help but try to persuade him to stay. "Grandma's birthday is in a few days. Don't you love to join in the fun? Why don't you stay for a meal before you leave?"

Zhao Huai'an was a well-known filial son in the cultivation world. Because his elderly mother loved jade and he had a grudge against Sun Chao of Jade City, he asked Ye Qingzhou to buy rare jade, intending to give his mother a surprise.

In response to Zhao Huai'an's polite words, Ye Qingzhou said, "The fresh bamboo shoots and mushrooms are still waiting for me."

Zhao Huai'an couldn't help but smile. The recent damp and rainy weather was perfect for gathering mountain delicacies, and Ye Qingzhou, this glutton, clearly wouldn't miss such an opportunity. (From the *Book of Han, Treatise on Rites and Music*: "Greedy and treacherous." Yan Shigu's commentary: "Extreme greed is called 'tao,' specifically referring to gluttony. Generally used as a positive term, literally meaning a gluttonous person, it actually implies a pursuit of culinary culture and refined taste; they enjoy searching for delicious food everywhere and consider it a life pursuit.")

Qingcheng is mountainous, and Ye Qingzhou spent a full month searching far and wide to collect and preserve all the local delicacies.

After Qingcheng, Ye Qingzhou should have set off immediately to return to Xiaoding Peak, but he suddenly thought of the endless red flowers, green leaves and white lotus roots in Liancheng, and his appetite was greatly stimulated. So he took a detour to Liancheng.

It would have been better if they hadn't gone, because going there has brought up an old story.
