The owner couldn’t help but pause at Lin Yi’s experience,”Then I’ll take a step back. Six spiritual jades. Look at the quality of my blue light grass. It’s not something you can find anywhere.”

Lin Yi calmly extended a hand.”Five, not one more.”

“You …” The owner wanted to try again, but seeing Lin Yi’s determined expression, he thought that five spirit Jade was already quite a profit for the blue glow grass. He nodded,””Alright, five pieces of spiritual Jade then. I’ll pack them up for you.”

After saying that, the stall owner was about to dig out the blue glow grass from the pot out of habit. Those who came out to buy spiritual herbs were basically out to make elixirs and not to grow them back home, so they usually took them away in bags to make it easier to carry.

Lin Yi’s eyes twitched as he stopped her,”Wait a minute. Boss, give me the pot directly. I’ll take it back and plant it.”

What kind of joke was this? he was here for the ancient Pure Land in the basin. Buying the blue glow grass was just a cover to deceive people.

“Alright, whatever you want.” It was just an ordinary basin anyway, so the stall owner didn’t suspect anything and nodded in agreement.

Lin Yi let out a breath of relief and tried to get the Jade out,”If I may ask, where do you usually cultivate your spirit herbs? I see that the color of your spirit herbs is quite good.”

He was testing the waters because he wanted to know where the other party had dug up the soil. If he could find out, he might be able to get more Pure Land.

“Hehe, you flatter me. I don’t know how to cultivate spiritual herbs myself. These are all purchased from others. For example, this blue glow grass of yours, even the soil was purchased from an unfamiliar rogue cultivator.” The owner took the spiritual Jade from Lin Yi’s hands and laughed happily.

“So that’s how it is.” Lin Yi nodded, disappointed. There was no point in asking anymore since he was an unknown practitioner.

But just as Lin Yi was about to turn around and leave, he heard a familiar voice behind him.”Young hero Lin, what a coincidence to meet you here.”

Lin Yi’s body froze-he didn’t even need to turn his head to know who the voice belonged to. It was his nemesis, Meng jueguang.

Why would this guy appear here?

What shocked Lin Yi even more was the fact that he was wearing a mask-how did Meng jueguang recognize him?

Just as Lin Yi was in shock, Meng jueguang walked up to him and patted his shoulder affectionately, his face full of joy.”Lin shaoxia, even if we have a little bit of history, you don’t have to pretend that you don’t know me, right? No matter what, I’m still your eldest senior brother in charge!”

With nowhere to run, Lin Yi forced himself to face the man and put on a blank face.”Who are you?”

Meng jueguang froze and looked at Lin Yi. His face changed and he said awkwardly,”So you’re not Lin Yi, I’ve got the wrong person.”

Lin Yi let out a breath of relief-it’d be really dangerous if Meng jueguang found out that Lin er was the same person as him.

By then, Meng jueguang would spread the news to the southern Heaven Gate, and even with Lin Yi’s mid-foundation strength, it would be hard for him to deal with such a powerful enemy. He didn’t even know if he could keep his life.

Not daring to stay any longer, Lin Yi picked up the blue light grass and glanced at Meng jueguang before turning around to leave.

Meng jueguang pinched his chin as he watched Lin Yi’s back disappear into the distance. From the back, this person looked exactly the same as Lin Yi-not just the figure, but even the aura was the same!

Unconsciously, Meng jueguang’s gaze swept across the stall owner’s hand and he was stunned. The spiritual Jade in the stall owner’s hand looked very familiar.

“Boss, let me take a look at your spiritual Jade!” A thought flashed through Meng jueguang’s mind and he hurriedly called out.

“Why?” The stall owner looked at him warily. Was there something wrong with this person’s brain? who would ask for spiritual Jade for no reason? was he trying to Rob someone in broad daylight?

Meng jueguang took out two pieces of spiritual Jade and threw them in front of the man. “I’ll exchange two pieces for one of yours. Is that okay? give it to me now!”

The stall owner examined the two pieces of spiritual Jade doubtfully and found that they were both good Jade filled with spiritual energy. He then threw the spiritual Jade that Meng jueguang had pointed out.

Meng jueguang took it and flipped through it carefully twice, thoroughly confirming that the spiritual Jade in his hand was one that he had used before!

It was a complete coincidence. As everyone knew, the process of cultivation had always been boring. Once, when he was using the spiritual Jade to cultivate, Meng jueguang had a sudden impulse to try out a micro-carving on the spiritual Jade.

The result proved that he did not have this talent at all. The beautiful statue was sculpted by him, and it was extremely ugly and unsightly, which was why he had this strange spiritual Jade in his hand.

However, Meng jueguang remembered clearly that this piece of weird spiritual Jade should have been with the other pieces of jade and given to Meng Tong and the others to exchange with Lin Yi. How did it appear here?

In addition, there was another thing that greatly puzzled Meng jueguang. The Jade he had given Meng Tong before was a useless piece of Jade that had almost exhausted its spiritual energy, but the one in his hand was clearly a good piece of Jade that was full of spiritual energy!

Today’s matter was really strange!

However, if the spiritual Jade in his hand was not the same one he had, then it would be too much of a coincidence. The same spiritual Jade of similar size had the same pattern!

Back then, Meng jueguang had clearly remembered that when he had been bored to death, he had casually carved a figure on the spiritual Jade. It was a symbol that represented him, Meng jueguang. Of course, only he himself knew what it meant!

If one didn’t look carefully, they would think that this was formed accidentally when they were mining spiritual Jade. It wasn’t a big deal!

If Meng jueguang was a famous master of micro-carving, it would not be surprising. The signature or mark of a master of micro-carving had always been highly sought after, and it was normal for people to deliberately imitate it. But the problem was that he was a pure layman. Why would he waste his spiritual Jade to imitate a failed product like him?

Therefore, no matter how unbelievable it was, Meng jueguang was at least 90% sure that the spiritual Jade in his hand was the same one he had before. It was just that for some reason, someone had re-injected spiritual energy into it!
