Chapter 1300: Huangliang Spirit Lord

Han Li checked the spirit tool materials in the shops one by one, but after turning to seven or eight shops, he stopped this useless action, and sighed secretly in his heart.

It couldn't be said that the materials in these shops were not good; some of them could absolutely be called boutiques. But with Han Li's current realm of Vajra Art about to be completed, how could he look at these materials. If he used them, even the spirit tools refined with great effort would be at most similar to the Golden Dragon Sword he left for Fan, the fat man.

They were of little use to him.

"Why, Brother Han doesn't like the things here!" Tian Xing, who was on the side, was very good at observing expressions, and immediately asked this.

"These materials are of no use to me." Han Li shook his head, not hiding his disappointment.

"If you don't like them, then why not follow me to another place. There are often some special things there, but I can't guarantee that there will definitely be what Brother Han wants." Tian Xing was truly worthy of being the local snake here, and in the blink of an eye, he proposed another place.

"Oh, let's go take a look." Han Li felt great interest when he heard this.

So the two left this street, and while in the city, they stopped a beast cart and were about to get on and leave.

But just as Han Li stepped one foot onto the beast cart, suddenly a dragon-like sound came from high in the sky, followed by a tiger-like roar rolling in!

The two sounds intertwined and fluctuated, spreading throughout the entire sky nearby, causing a stir among the mortals and cultivators below.

Han Li also looked toward the horizon where the sound came from.

I saw a black dot shooting over at an extremely fast speed, and in the blink of an eye, it arrived above Han Li and the others.

It was actually a strange beast with two heads, a tiger head and a dragon head, pulling a light green flying cart that swept past from high in the sky. The sound of dragon-like roars and tiger-like roars disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Huangliang Spirit Lord has actually left his cave! What is going on?" Tian Xing called out in shock upon seeing the beast cart in the sky.

"Huangliang Spirit Lord. Who is this?" Han Li asked.

Hearing Han Li's question, Tian Xing was stunned, then looked at Han Li with strange eyes.

"Why, did a flower bloom on my face." Han Li's gaze flashed, and he laughed.

"It seems Brother Han truly comes from a very distant place."

"Why do you say that, is this person very famous in Sunset City?" Han Li frowned.

"The City Lord of this city is a Spirit Transformation mid-stage cultivator, but the number one cultivator in our Sunset City is not him. It is this Huangliang Spirit Lord who has lived in a nearby mountain for ten thousand years. It is said that he has already passed the hurdle of the five elements merging and is a Body Integration early-stage cultivator." Tian Xing introduced somewhat excitedly.

"Body Integration early-stage!" Han Li felt a chill in his heart.

He was also a Spirit Transformation early-stage cultivator back then, and he knew clearly how large the gap between the Spirit Transformation stage and the Body Integration stage was. In these decades in the Spirit Realm, Body Integration stage cultivators were the highest-tier cultivators he had ever heard of. People like the Three Emperors were only at the Body Integration Great Perfection stage.

From the mouths of other cultivators and mortals, he had never heard any rumors about cultivators at the Mahayana or Tribulation Crossing stages.

It was as if such top-tier existences of the human race had never appeared in the Spirit Realm.

Of course, it was also possible that the level he was in contact with was still relatively low, so he couldn't access information in this regard.

After getting on the beast cart, Tian Xing excitedly told Han Li some things about Huangliang Spirit Lord, mostly about how amazing this Huangliang Spirit Lord was and how famous he was, etc.

Han Li just smiled slightly when he heard this, and didn't say anything.

As a result, the cart ran wildly in the city for a full few hours, then went onto an unfamiliar street, and stopped at the end of the street.

Han Li jumped off the cart, swept his gaze around, and saw a shop that didn't look small.

This shop was not very ordinary.

The gate was very tall and decorated with eye-catching gold powder, and there was a huge signboard hanging on it with the three characters "Qiongyu Pavilion" written on it.

And on both sides of the gate, there were two blue iron pillars a foot long, and each was tied with a silver chain to a red, lizard-like strange beast.

The moment Han Li stepped off the beast cart, these two strange beasts stood up immediately, staring at Han Li with small eyes, and revealed unkind gazes.

"Go!" Tian Xing followed closely behind Han Li, and seeing these two strange beasts

Suddenly, the two monsters let out a few low growls, then lazily lay back down on the ground and remained motionless.

The two of them walked past between the two monsters.

Once inside, Han Li inadvertently frowned.

It was just a simple room about six or seven zhang in size. Although there were some shelf-like things placed around, they were empty, with nothing on them.

In a corner of the room, there was a staircase, and nearby sat a wooden chair. On it sat an old man with a sallow complexion and a flat nose, who was dozing off slightly, as if he hadn't noticed the arrival of guests at all.

"Old Xu! Stop sleeping, I've brought someone for you." Tian Xing was quite unceremonious; he stepped forward a few paces, grabbed the man's shoulder, and shook him violently.

"Guests? Where?" The old man opened his bleary eyes, but he still looked like he hadn't fully woken up.

"I heard your shop has some special items, so I came to take a look." After sizing up the old man who appeared to be the shopkeeper, Han Li asked calmly.

"If the guest wants special items, that's easy. This shop specializes in acquiring unusual things to sell to those who need them. What kind of items is the guest looking for?" The shopkeeper scanned Han Li, and after pausing for a moment, he finally revealed a hint of a smile.

"Spirit tool materials," Han Li said calmly.

"Oh, there really aren't many people who need that kind of material. However, this shop does happen to have two such items. Shall I go get them?" The shopkeeper smiled, turned around, and went thumping up the stairs.

Watching the shopkeeper's retreating back, Han Li narrowed his eyes slightly and suddenly asked Tian Xing:

"This person seems to be a body refiner as well, and his rank isn't low either!"

"Of course! Old Xu used to be a high-tier body refiner with quite a reputation in our Sunset City. But decades ago, he encountered an accident in the Tomb of the Setting Sun and was poisoned by a strange toxin. It left him with the body of a high-tier body refiner, but he couldn't exert a single bit of strength, so he had no choice but to open this shop in the city," Tian Xing explained.

"Oh, so that's how it is!" Han Li nodded, seemingly relieved.

Tian Xing smiled and was just about to ask Han Li how he had discerned the identity of this "Old Xu" when suddenly, a low beast growl came from outside, followed by a cold, sharp reprimand:

"Beast, you're courting death!"

With two muffled thuds, the sound of a heavy object hitting the ground came through.

Han Li and Tian Xing both turned around in surprise, only to see a man and a woman walking in from outside the gate. The two monsters at the entrance were lying on their backs, unable to move.

Tian Xing was startled, but he immediately noticed low whimpering sounds coming from the monsters' mouths, which made him feel relieved.

Han Li, however, fixed his gaze on the man and woman who had entered.

The man and woman were both young; the man was handsome and imposing, and the woman was beautiful. It would be no exaggeration to describe them as a golden boy and jade girl. Moreover, their spiritual pressure was not low; they should be cultivators around the Core Formation stage.

With Han Li's discernment, he could naturally tell at a glance that the two were truly young, inside and out.

Although the Spirit Realm had dense spiritual energy and an abundance of mid-to-high-tier spirit stones and heavenly treasures, making Foundation Establishment and Core Formation much easier than in the mortal world, it was still shocking for two people so young to have such cultivation.

"Are you two the shop's clerks?" The man saw Han Li and Tian Xing at a glance. After scanning Tian Xing with his spiritual sense and discovering he was only a Qi Condensation stage cultivator, he immediately demanded. His words could not hide a hint of arrogance.

As for Han Li, who was wearing a spirit ring on his finger, he was naturally a body refiner. The youth seemed to have no interest in asking about a body refiner who hung around with a Qi Condensation stage cultivator.

"No, this junior is just accompanying a guest to buy some things." Upon discovering that the newcomers were two Core Formation cultivators, Tian Xing was also startled and hurriedly replied with a forced smile.

"A guest? Then where is the shopkeeper of this Qiongyu Pavilion?" The youth hummed slightly and asked.

"Old Xu has gone upstairs to get something. The two seniors can wait a moment," Tian Xing replied cautiously.

"Junior Sister Lü, let's wait a moment, is that alright?" The youth ignored Tian Xing and turned to the young female cultivator beside him, speaking gently.

"It's fine. I estimate that my ancestor is currently discussing some matters with your master, so we don't need to rush over and disturb them. However, does this shop really have the things I'm looking for?" The beautiful woman's eyes flickered, and she was clearly curious about the empty shelves in the shop.

"I heard about it too, and this is my first time here. According to my friend, this shop has many strange and bizarre things. Even if we can't find what you want, Junior Sister, it's not bad to come and see for yourself." The young man's tone contained a hint of flattery.

"Since Brother Qian says so, then I must take a look." The young woman chuckled.

Just then, footsteps sounded on the stairs, and the old man walked down slowly, holding two brocade boxes, one large and one small.

"What, more guests? Oh, my gate-guarding beasts were beaten by you." The old man was slightly stunned when he saw the pair of cultivators, but after scanning outside the door, his expression sank slightly.

"Don't worry! I only gave them a slight lesson; I didn't truly harm their lives. Junior Sister Lü is a descendant of Senior Huang Liang; if your gate-guarding beasts truly offended her, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to bear the consequences!" The youth seemed to know the shopkeeper's background; he didn't move, but spoke with a mocking smile.

"A descendant of Spirit Lord Huang Liang? Then I'll let it slide this time, but don't let it happen again!" Hearing the youth say this, the old man's expression changed slightly, but he immediately returned to normal.

Afterward, he seemed unwilling to say anything more to the pair and walked a few steps to Han Li, handing over the brocade boxes first.

Han Li did not reach out to take them immediately, but his eyes flashed as he asked first:

"What kind of strange items are in the boxes? Shopkeeper Xu, aren't you going to introduce them first?"
