?Chapter 956: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures: Chapter 953, Unexpected Gains Chapter 956: Volume 6, Spirit Treasures: Chapter 953, Unexpected Gains “This Dazzling Crystal, fellow Daoist, see if it is to your liking?” The cultivator amidst the white mist didn’t open the jade box, simply turning his hand and passing the entire box to Han Li.
Han Li unceremoniously caught it and immediately opened the lid.
What met his eyes was a Milky Yellow Crystal Stone, but it emitted circles of faint purple halos; at a closer look, one would feel a wave of dizziness and blurred vision.
Seeing this, Han Li was secretly pleased and a blue light flashed through his pupils, instantly dispelling the dizzying sensation.
Then, he took out the yellow crystal with two fingers and held it up close for careful identification.
The shadowy figure in the white mist, seeing Han Li stare at the Dazzling Crystal and only slightly swaying his body as if it were nothing, was inwardly shocked.
This Dazzling Crystal was one he dared not look at for long, afraid to glance at it a second time.
Yet the unfamiliar cultivator before him was able to gaze at it so intently without any issue.
This was indeed quite unexpected!
“Not bad, indeed a top-grade Dazzling Crystal.
Fellow Daoist, you may take away the Demonic Marrow Drill,” Han Li said with a satisfied expression, placing the crystal back into the jade box and casually stowing it in his storage pouch.
“Hehe, then I won’t stand on ceremony either.
Currently, no others have exchanged for the remaining piece.
It seems that no one else has the materials that fellow Daoist desires.

Would you be willing to sell the remaining piece to me at a high price, or even trade it with other rare materials, regardless of the method, I will definitely make fellow Daoist satisfied,” the cultivator shrouded in white mist carefully took the drill and put it away.
His gaze shifted, becoming a bit greedily fixed on the other Demonic Marrow Drill.
“Who says there are no materials?
I have a piece of Five Elements Jade right here.”
“Hold on, no one is allowed to snatch this from me-I’m set on this item.”
As soon as the trial statement from the cultivator in the white mist was spoken, numerous cultivators sitting around who could no longer restrain themselves, sounded a male and a female voice at the same time.
The man’s voice rumbled like thunder in a clear sky, while the woman’s voice was pleasant and melodious.
Then a cluster of dark black light and a glaring silver light shot out from two seats on either side, one after the other, landing in front of Han Li.
This scene prompted a series of whispers among the other cultivators.
Unlike the Dazzling Crystal, which was little known, Five Elements Jade was well-known in the realm of Immortal Cultivators-a renowned material for crafting jade-quality Spiritual Treasures, it was simply too rare.
The last time it appeared in the world of Immortal Cultivators seemed to be five or six hundred years ago.
Now that someone had brought it out again, naturally many people were greatly surprised and envious.
It seemed the cultivators present did have genuine rare treasures, but most chose to conceal them rather than display them lightly.
The shadowy figure in the white mist, upon hearing the man’s voice, his complexion changed dramatically, his face covered in mist, suddenly becoming unsettled.
“What, Elder Ye the Second, do you dare to break the trading convention’s rules and monopolize the Demonic Marrow Drill?” The cultivator in black light didn’t pay any mind to the delicate figure in the silver mist who flew behind, instead staring unkindly at the white mist, speaking straightforwardly.
Although the man’s features were indiscernible in the black light, his stature was vaguely tall, his voice as cold as ice.
“Brother Kun is really overthinking things.
How could I, Ye, do such a thing?
I merely made a suggestion to fellow Daoist.
It’s up to him to agree or not.
Now that there are two interested fellow Daoists, I naturally won’t interfere any further,” the figure hosting the exchange event clearly recognized the devilish cultivator in the black light, managed a wry smile, clasped his fists in a salute, then with a sway of his body, retreated to one side to show concession.
“Good that you know your place!” The devilish cultivator snorted coldly, hands behind his back, saying arrogantly.
The female cultivator stood gracefully amidst the silver light; she seemed somewhat taken aback.
A series of surprised murmurs followed.
“That surnamed Kun, could it be Elder Kun Wuji of the Blood Chilling Gate?
Judging by the silhouette and the voice, it does seem likely.”
“Other than late Nascent Soul cultivators, who else would be so assertive?”
a€|
Upon hearing these words, Han Li’s expression shifted slightly.
This devilish cultivator turned out to be a late Nascent Soul cultivator, and the Blood Chilling Gate was indeed a famous Sect in the Devil Dao.
“So, it’s the Great Elder of the Blood Chilling Gate.
The young lady has been disrespectful.
I wonder if fellow Daoist has the materials that the other Daoist requires?
If indeed you do, I will leave at once and yield the item to fellow Daoist,” said the female cultivator after a moment of silence, letting out a sigh.
It seemed she did not intend to give up on the Demonic Marrow Drill just because of the opponent’s startling cultivation level and status.
“Hehe!
Although Brother Kun doesn’t have the Five Elements Jade or the Dazzling Crystal, I’ve got plenty of nearly equivalent materials.
You’d be wise to just go back,” Kun Wuji said darkly, his threatening tone was unmistakably clear.
“This could be trouble.
The Demonic Marrow Drill is also an item I desperately seek.
How about this a€“ if fellow Daoist is really willing to select your material over the Five Elements Jade, I will not persist any further and will relinquish the item to Brother Kun,” the female cultivator said with a light laugh.
“Fine, I am not an unreasonable man, we have a deal,” surprisingly, Kun Wuji, the devilish cultivator, appeared to be very confident in his items, agreeing immediately without a second thought.
Han Li watched as the two before him settled the ownership of the Demonic Marrow Drill without considering him, naturally displeased.
But seeing the appearance of the Five Elements Jade, finally gathering the last material he needed, he also breathed a sigh of relief.
Without a change in expression, he watched the man and the woman without saying a word.
At that moment, the female cultivator raised her hand and a bluish-green wooden box flew out from within the silver radiance, landing steadily on the table with a faint silver Daoist paper talisman attached to it.
“Daoist friends may first verify the authenticity of the Five Elements Jade presented by this humble woman,” said the woman to Han Li with a charming smile.
“The items presented by Kun Wuji have also been seen clearly by you, and the value of some of the materials is indeed higher than that of the Five Elements Jade,” Kun Wuji scoffed coldly, fluttering his sleeve, and seven jade boxes of varying colors flew out one after the other, also landing steadily on the table.
Han Li didn’t speak, he simply reached towards the wooden box, and with a “swoosh”, it was directly sucked into his hand.
With a single sweep of his hand, a streak of azure light flashed, and the talisman on the wooden box drifted away, the lid easily opening.
Inside the box lay a flat, round piece of Five Elements Jade, of many colors, seemingly unexceptional without any striking radiance or color, but a rich spiritual energy wafted from it.
Han Li took it in his hand and examined it for just a short moment before forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.
Slowly, he nodded to the female cultivator:
“Indeed, this is genuine Five Elements Jade.”
After these words, he placed the jade back into the box, turning his gaze to the various jade boxes nearby.
Honestly, he simply wished to directly trade for the Five Elements Jade, but there was no need, and he did not wish to offend a late Nascent Soul cultivator so lightly.
Moreover, Kun Wuji was quite boastful, and Han Li had become curious about the contents of these jade boxes.
Kun Wuji extended a finger and emotionless, pointed several times at the jade boxes in the empty air.
The lids of the boxes flew off on their own, revealing the various treasures within.
“Falling Phoenix Wood, Soul Extraction Stone, Ten Thousand Wheels Flower…”
Before Han Li could recognize the items within the boxes, the surrounding cultivators in their seats, with their sharp eyes, exclaimed in shock as they identified these items by name.
Most couldn’t help but inhale a breath of cold air.
The nearby female cultivator glanced at these items twice and was equally startled.
These items, just as Kun Wuji had said, in terms of rarity, were almost each not inferior to Five Elements Jade, particularly the Ten Thousand Wheels Flower, which seemed to hold value not even beneath the Demonic Marrow Drill for some.
Such rare treasures were the reason why Kun Wuji was so confident.
Under the unease in her heart, the female cultivator couldn’t help but turn her head to look at Han Li, who was blurred within the azure light.
To her surprise…
Han Li’s gaze wasn’t on the Ten Thousand Wheels Flower, which obviously held the highest value, but rather on the large soft jade-colored ore within another jade box, pondering in silence.
A sinking feeling arose in the woman’s heart.
Indeed, Han Li raised his hand, and the golden ore was sucked into it.
He then lowered his head to examine it carefully.
Seeing this, Kun Wuji was also taken aback, but he then laughed heartily and said arrogantly,
“How about that?
Daoist friend is interested in Kun’s Auric Essence.
Daoist friend indeed has good discernment.
If Daoist friend were a sword cultivator, this Auric Essence could greatly enhance your divine skills.
Such a large piece is likely something that only Kun can offer in the entire realm of immortal cultivators.”
“I will trade for this Auric Essence,” Han Li stated indifferently.
“Hold on, don’t you want the Five Elements Jade…”
“Shut up, do you really want to provoke me?” Kun Wuji, upon hearing this, was overjoyed, but then his expression changed dramatically, as a terrifyingly powerful aura surged from him.
An invisible spiritual pressure bore down directly on the female cultivator.
While Han Li stood unaffected nearby, the woman staggered backward several steps before steadying herself.
Meanwhile, Kun Wuji had already grabbed the Demonic Marrow Drill from in front of Han Li, examining it with frenzied joy.
“It really is the Demonic Marrow Drill, I truly struck gold coming here.
Old Devil Zenith Yin and the others, if they knew that such an item appeared at the auction, who knows how much they might regret not attending.” The Old Devil stored the drill away, then looked up into the air with a bout of wild laughter, before waving his sleeve and gathering the remaining jade boxes.
His figure flickered and, without a moment’s delay, he shot towards the exit of the great hall.
“Brother Kun, there is one last treasure to be revealed, do you not wish to stay and look?” The person presiding over the auction from within the white mist suddenly spoke to detain him.
“What treasure?
I’m not interested.
Now that I’ve got the Demonic Marrow Drill, I’m anxious to return and refine the Pure Demonic Qi inside it.
I don’t have the spirit to look at any more treasures.” Following a strange laugh, Kun Wuji flickered at the entrance, triggering the restrictive formations, and then his entire figure vanished without a trace.
“Refine the Demonic Qi?” Han Li was a little surprised by this, but then he had a sudden epiphany upon further thought.
The Demonic Marrow Drill was naturally formed from condensation deep below the Demon Abyss and contained powerful Pure Demonic Qi.
If a devilish cultivator could refine it, the benefits were naturally substantial.
No wonder Kun Wuji, having obtained this treasure, had no interest even to look at the final items.
At this moment, the female cultivator in the silver light, seeing Kun Wuji had left with the Demonic Marrow Drill, was exceptionally vexed and wordlessly reached for the wooden box containing the Five Elements Jade to draw it back to her.
But then a faint voice interrupted,
“Hold!
I will take this item as well.” Han Li’s hand suddenly appeared over the wooden box, stopping the female cultivator from retrieving it.
