The two women exchanged a glance, delight showing on both their faces.
In truth, having their treasures catch a True Person's eye was hardly a bad thing for them.
For one, their own True Person was beside them, so they need not fear being forced into a sale. For another, however fine the spirit materials were, they could not use them and would ultimately sell them anyway.

Then she tilted the gourd as though to pour something out and raised her brows at them.
"Well?
