There are all kinds of rare treasures that you have never seen before, so it’s impossible to determine their price.”
In layman’s terms: there are pearls, jade, agate, luminous pearls, silver ingots, gold ingots, silver notes, and precious stones. , emerald and so on. It is said that jade is the most abundant here. Think about it, what would it be like if there were many jade treasures in a treasure chest?
