  Ye Qin walked along the bustling county town streets, saw a "Spring Jade Store" jade stone store name, and then strolled in.

  The store is very spacious and can accommodate at least dozens of people. Along the wall are four rows of counters, inside which are large and small pieces of jade, including rough jade and finished carved jade products for sale.

  Several attendants in green clothes were accompanying several guests in fine clothes to select jade pendants. Perhaps because the price of jade was expensive, almost all those who came here to buy jade were from wealthy families in the county town, and there were no poor people.

  A young attendant in the store came forward with a smile to welcome Ye Qin.

  "Sir, what kind of jade are you looking for? Our Chunyu shop is the best jade store in Zhutai County, we have all kinds of jade, soft jade, hard jade, white jade, green jade, red jade, blue jade, black jade, yellow jade, etc. The quality is extremely hard and the color is bright and shiny. Carved into jade pendants, worn on the body, it has the effect of clearing the mind and dispelling evil spirits, or made into jade bangles, jade rings, jade hairpins, sword decorations, etc., there are many types. As long as you say it out loud, our store can bring it out."

  That young servant saw Ye Qin wearing a green shirt, and secretly guessed that he was probably a disciple of the first big family in the county town, Caiyao Tang. He didn't dare to be slow. Moreover, the servant also knew that as long as they satisfied this kind of Jianghu sect disciple, they would often be very generous with their hands, and wouldn't care too much about the price.

  Ye Qin listened to the introduction and nodded slightly, neither affirming nor denying it.

  This was the third jade store he had found in the county town, and the previous ones were also boasting about their jade, only not to the extent of saying that the jade in their stores were stars from heaven. However, he still couldn't find the kind of spiritual stone he wanted.

  Ye Qin spoke up, "I'm looking for a piece of jade that's filled with spiritual energy. Even if it's several steps away, I can still clearly feel the spiritual energy emanating from it. Does your esteemed shop have such a piece of jade?"

  The young servant was taken aback.

  Actually, all jade has spiritual energy; otherwise, they would be called ordinary stones instead of jade. The quality of jade depends on whether the spiritual energy is strong or not. Most jade stones only contain a very small amount of spiritual energy, which is almost imperceptible. Only the highest-quality jade stones can clearly feel the spiritual energy within them. Of course, such jade stones are extremely expensive and often serve as the crown jewel of a jade store, rarely being sold lightly.

  He realized that Ye Qin was looking for the best quality jade. He looked at Ye Qin's expression again in surprise, making sure he wasn't joking. As for Ye Qin's identity and financial resources, he couldn't figure it out and didn't dare to take liberties, so he immediately entered the inner room and asked the owner of Chunyu Shop to come out.

  That was a sixty or seventy-year-old white-haired elder who walked out of the inner room unhurriedly, smiled and bowed to Ye Qin.

  "This young man, isn't he after the treasure of my Chunyu shop? I am Zhao Yuanshan, the master of Chunyu shop. What is this young man's name and position at Caiyao Hall? As long as you can afford it, I will give you the treasure of our shop."

  "My surname is Ye. As for what position I hold at the Medicine Pavilion, that's not important. What matters is whether your esteemed shop has the jade stone I'm looking for. If you do, I'll definitely be able to afford it."

  Ye Qin was quite confident about this.

  The eyes of Old Zhao, the shop owner, were much sharper than those of the attendant. At a glance, he saw the leaf-shaped emblem embroidered on Ye Qin's clothes, which indicated that the person in front of him was just an outer disciple of the Medicine Collection Hall, and a very young one at that. People like this usually held low positions within the Medicine Collection Hall.

  However, being a medicine collector doesn't mean they don't have money. Many medicine collectors risk their lives to collect medicines and have a lot of money in their hands. Especially some disciples of the Medicine Collection Hall who do "private business" are extremely rich and generous with their spending.

  Old Zhao, the shop owner, looked at Ye Qin with a hint of amusement, wondering if this young man was indeed the disciple who did "private business". Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to take out so much money to buy such high-quality jade.

  Zhao, the old shopkeeper, thought of this and suddenly burst out laughing: "Haha, my Chunyu store in Zhuxi County is also a top-notch jade stone store. The jade stones in our store are absolutely high-quality, guaranteed to satisfy you, Brother Bao! Brother Ye, please, let's go inside and talk!"

  Ye Qin's spiritual awareness was extremely sensitive.

  The glance Zhao Laozhu gave him just now made him feel very uncomfortable, as if Zhao Laozhu had some ulterior motive. However, Ye Qin asked himself what he had that Zhao Laozhu could possibly want.

  Old Zhao led Ye Qin into the inner room.

  The inner room still has a few counters, but they are more exquisite and high-end than the outer store. There are also many chairs, with fragrant tea on the coffee table for guests to rest and quench their thirst. A female attendant is serving tea beside them.

  Mr. Zhao personally introduced Ye Qin to the fine jade carvings in these few display cabinets.

  They are not top-grade jade stones, but they are far better than those ordinary jades outside. I wonder if Ye Qin will be satisfied with them.

  However, Ye Qin was not satisfied with any of them, as he couldn't feel any spiritual energy emanating from these jade stones. He remembered that when he was on the Eagle Peak cliff, digging out the Qingyan Marrow, he felt a strong and intense spiritual energy rushing towards him, which was what true spiritual stones should be like.

  Mr. Zhao, the old shop owner, not only didn't mind, but became even more delighted. Ye Qin's attitude further confirmed his idea that this young disciple of the Medicine Hall was definitely doing "private business" and must have a lot of money in hand.

  Old Zhao let the maid serve Ye Qin, and he himself entered a secret room next door. After a short while, he came out with a heavy wooden box in his hand.

  "Our store also has a top-grade jade embryo, please let Ye Xiaoge take a look."

  The large wooden box was carefully opened by him. A piece of white jade embryo appeared, as big as a sea bowl, with a clean white color and a pure and delicate texture that was smooth to the touch. At the bottom of the box, there were also layers of soft white cotton to prevent collision.

  "This piece of white jade embryo is the treasure of our Chunyu store, very rare. Our jade craftsmen have been pondering how to carve it, but have not yet started, so it's still a jade embryo. This object has a calming effect on your inner energy and true qi cultivation, reducing the risk of going crazy."

  Mr. Zhao introduced the use of this white jade embryo.

  Ye Qin's hand gently stroked the white jade embryo, closed his eyes and slowly took a breath, feeling its spiritual energy. Faintly, he could sense that there was a thread of elusive spiritual energy emanating from this piece of white jade stone. He thought to himself, since he could feel the overflow of spiritual energy, this white jade embryo should be considered a spiritual stone. Although this white jade embryo had a much lower concentration of spiritual energy compared to the green rock he had dug up before, and its size was also much smaller.

  He was able to find a suitable spirit jade in the "Spring Jade Shop", which made him feel somewhat unexpectedly surprised.
