?Chapter 941: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 938 Underground Trade Fair Chapter 941: Volume 6 Spirit Treasures Chapter 938 Underground Trade Fair “Hehe, Senior Brother Wang has rarely shown his face.
I thought you would continue closed-door cultivation of the ‘Turtle Spirit Art’ and not come out.
How dare I disturb Senior Brother Wang’s quiet cultivation?” The elder with the surname Fu seemed to have known the silver-robed cultivator for a long time and greeted him very familiarly.
“I can only reach the seventh layer of the ‘Turtle Spirit Art,’ and I estimate I will not be able to advance to the mid Nascent Soul Stage in this lifetime.
But I heard from Steward Zhao that someone suspected to be at the mid Nascent Soul Stage has come to our pavilion and wants to acquire the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, which has been kept by us for hundreds of years.
Plus, with you here, Brother Fu, how could I not come out to meet you?” The silver-robed cultivator, over fifty years old, glanced at Han Li and slightly smiled as he cupped his hands in a salutation.
Hearing this, Han Li realized that this person was Elder Wang, whom the middle-aged man in white had spoken of earlier.
Upon sweeping his divine sense, he saw that the other party was an early Nascent Soul cultivator.
However, his pale complexion was somewhat strange, evidently due to some peculiarities in his cultivation technique.
“Senior Brother Wang is too kind.
I too have long heard of the great name of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and that’s why I came to visit,” said Han Li, revealing a slight smile and returning the gesture.
“Fellow Daoist Han wants to trade for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion!
Tsk tsk, it truly befits an overseas cultivator, such a grand gesture.
It seems the saying about overseas abundant treasures is indeed true,” said the elder surnamed Fu somewhat surprised.

“Though overseas there are indeed some rare materials, how could it compare to the abundant and diverse land of the inland?
Both of you are jesting,” said Han Li noncommittally.
However, this remark from Han Li naturally couldn’t make the two Nascent Soul cultivators believe anything, but they also felt it improper to pry into overseas matters.
Otherwise, being misunderstood by such a high-level cultivator as Han Li that they had ulterior motives would be no small matter.
At that moment, a middle-aged man surnamed Zhao followed behind the silver-robed cultivator, swiftly stepping forward and placing one large and one small jade box on the table in front of Han Li before tactfully stepping back to the side.
He clearly understood that with Elder Wang taking the initiative, there was naturally no need for him to say much.
“Since Fellow Daoist is interested in our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I will bring this item over with Brother Fu’s Thunder Spirit Stone to let you take a look first,” Elder Wang said courteously, pointing at the slightly larger jade box.
“Senior Brother Wang, let’s have Brother Fu show Han Li the pavilion later.
Let Brother Fu and Fellow Daoist Han complete their trade first,” the elder surnamed Fu said with a grin.
“Didn’t expect Brother Fu to be so impatient.
Well then, Brother Fu, please go ahead, I am also very interested to see what treasures Fellow Daoist Han will offer in exchange for the Lightning Spirit Crystal,” Elder Wang said with a faint smile.
Hearing both of them speak such words, Han Li casually smiled and slapped his storage pouch, then flipped his hand and a palm-sized green wooden box appeared in his hand, on which two golden and silver Daoist paper talismans were attached.
Seeing the wooden box handled with such care, the elder’s eyes lit up.
Han Li placed the wooden box on the table and pushed it gently; it silently slid in front of the elder.
The elder suddenly perked up, held down the wooden box, then swept his sleeve across the table, sending the smaller jade box smoothly over to Han Li’s side.
Han Li displayed a satisfied expression and caught the jade box with a flip of his hand.
He then slightly bowed his head and opened the lid of the box.
A burst of silver-white light erupted from the box.
Han Li’s pupils flashed with a blue light and he immediately made out the object within the silver glow, a fist-sized silver-white stone.
Han Li scrutinized the object for a while, then suddenly extended a finger, his fingertip flickering with a dancing green light that appeared and disappeared intermittently.
With a flick of his wrist, the green light flashed, aiming straight at the silver stone in the box.
The moment the green light touched the item in the box, a sudden loud clap of thunder sounded, and several thin silver arcs burst forth from the stone, effectively blocking the green light.
“Hmm, it really is a Lightning Spirit Crystal.
It’s just that the quality of this Spirit Crystal seems rather ordinary, slightly disappointing.
But it will suffice for now,” Han Li sighed lightly, looking up and earnestly speaking to the red-faced elder.
“The best quality Lightning Spirit Crystals are not so easy to come by.
This Spirit Crystal was only discovered by me from the belly of a rare thunder attribute demon beast after much hardship,” the elder surnamed Fu also finished evaluating the Scarlet Essence Mushroom in Han Li’s wooden box, his face showing pure joy and satisfaction, seemingly extremely pleased with Han Li’s Scarlet Essence Mushroom.
“However, this Scarlet Essence Mushroom of mine is absolutely pure and free of any chaotic spiritual energy, truly a high-grade spiritual medicine,” Han Li said calmly.
Although he wouldn’t let go of the Lightning Spirit Crystal, he naturally wouldn’t agree to the trade directly having felt slightly disadvantaged.
“This is indeed true.
Judging solely by value, my Lightning Spirit Crystal indeed falls a bit short compared to Fellow Daoist Han’s top-grade Scarlet Essence Mushroom.
How about this, I’ll add 30,000 spirit stones to make up for it.” The red-faced elder was straightforward and openly admitted the disparity, immediately proposing his offer.
“There’s no need to rush, Fellow Daoist.
First, take a look at this list I have here and see if you can provide any other materials or know of some information about them.
If I can acquire what is needed, I would be willing to give up the spirit stones.” Han Li smiled and calmly placed the jade box back on the table, then lifted his hand and took out a jade slip that recorded the needed materials, tossing it to the elder.
“Does Fellow Daoist Han need other materials?” Surprised, the Wealthy surname elder took the jade slip without further thought and quickly glanced through it.
At that moment, Elder Wang, standing beside, looked at the Scarlet Essence Mushroom in the Wealthy surname elder’s hands, his gaze flickering before he fell into contemplation.
A moment later, after finishing the jade slip, the Wealthy surname elder looked at Han Li with a peculiar expression, showing a hint of hesitation.
“I’m afraid I must disappoint you, Fellow Daoist.
These materials are exceedingly rare, and I don’t possess any of them.
However, I might be able to point you to an easy place to obtain these materials,” the elder hesitated for a while before finally making up his mind.
“Point out a path?
You aren’t referring to the grand auction happening in a few days, are you?” Han Li’s eyes spun, his smile carrying a hint of teasing.
“Haha, indeed, you can buy usual materials at the grand auction.
But the rank of materials you need appear so infrequently.
After all, those who possess such rare materials, like yourself and me, generally prefer to trade them for other items,” the red-faced elder laughed heartily and disdainfully said.
“Oh?
From the sound of it, could there be some private transaction happening?” Han Li was startled but then delighted, eagerly inquiring.
The Wealthy surname elder’s face revealed a strange smirk.
Suddenly, though his lips parted slightly, no sound came out, yet Han Li suddenly heard the elder’s voice in his ears.
“Fellow Daoist Han is indeed astute.
However, this isn’t exactly a private transaction meeting.
The Jingjing City Auction that occurs every ten years has naturally split into a public and a secretive one many years ago.
The public one is simply those supported by the Daoist in the city market.
The secretive one is held underground by the Devilish sects.
In the underground meeting, general items are still auctioned with spirit stones, but materials of the rank you need are mostly traded for other items.
However, since many of the items sold at the underground meeting are strictly forbidden by the realm of immortal cultivators, fundamentally speaking, they are somewhat illicit.
Thus, only cultivators who are well-verified can participate in this meeting.
As an overseas loose cultivator, it might be inconvenient for you.
But if you agree to the current trade, I’m willing to vouch for you, Fellow Daoist.
I’m sure you can greatly benefit from the underground meeting,” the elder said in one breath, then with a solemn face, he stared at Han Li, waiting for a response.
“I see.
But I wonder, Fellow Daoist Fu, are these public and secret meetings held simultaneously?
I am interested in participating in the underground meeting, but I also do not want to miss the grand auction,” Han Li frowned thoughtfully before asking carefully.
“This is simple.
Although both are convened at the same time, the auction of the rarest materials is deliberately staggered by a day.
I’m sure you wouldn’t be interested in the ordinary items in the front, so you don’t have to worry about missing out,” the elder confidently responded.
“Since that’s the case, I shall follow your advice.
I am indeed very interested in this underground meeting,” Han Li decisively agreed without further consideration.
“Good, I knew Fellow Daoist Han was a straightforward person.
On the last day of the grand auction, just wait for me here in front of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion,” the Wealthy surname elder said, equally delighted at potentially saving tens of thousands of spirit stones.
This time, the conversation wasn’t transmitted via sound transmission, which piqued the interest of a silver-robed cultivator who had been silently observing their sound transmission deal.
However, his face only showed a beaming smile without revealing any peculiarities.
Only after Han Li and the elder had both respectively stored away the Lightning Spirit Crystal and Scarlet Essence Mushroom, did he speak with a smile:
“Congratulations to both Fellow Daoists on your gains.
Fellow Daoist Han, would you also like to view our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s prized item?
However, one thousand-year-old Scarlet Essence Mushroom is far from enough,” although his tone was exceptionally polite, he subtly hinted at the approximate value of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s item.
“That’s alright, as long as this item truly satisfies me, I won’t hesitate,” Han Li casually remarked with a slight smile, unconcerned.
“Since Fellow Daoist Han has said so, I also believe with your substantial wealth, acquiring this item of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion shouldn’t be a problem.
Fellow Daoist, please follow me to our specially designed Mustard Seed Space to see the restored Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion,” Elder Wang replied, his smile growing broader.
“Mustard Seed Space?” Han Li was startled, his face showing a trace of astonishment.
“What, haven’t you heard of Mount Sumeru Space?
Right, I almost forgot, this secret technique that can refine tears in space into personal spaces was only developed in Great Jin within the last thousand years.
It’s not strange you don’t know, coming from overseas,” Elder Wang slapped his own head, seemingly enlightened.
