Chapter 1344

Han Li curiously examined the items on the stall for a moment, then lightly swept his spiritual sense over them. Net

The branch among the two items contained extremely thin wood spiritual energy, yet it was filled with a powerful thunder-attribute force, as if the entire branch were condensed from lightning. This greatly surprised him!

This kind of item immediately reminded him of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo from back then.

However, even the ten-thousand-year-old attribute Golden Thunder Bamboo did not have such a violent thunder-attribute force; the Evil-Warding Divine Thunder was usually deeply restrained and hidden.

As for the other blood-red crystal, it had a pungent, fishy smell, as if it were the inner core of some kind of beast, though its specific origin could not be identified.

Han Li was somewhat interested in the branch, but after watching for a while, he still quietly left and headed toward the next stall.

The next stall was set up by a member of the demon race, with a black, dull-looking ore the size of a human head in front of them, radiating a biting chill.

In this manner, Han Li walked slowly, passing by these stalls one by one, pausing whenever he encountered an unknown or interesting item to study it carefully.

But from beginning to end, he did not speak a single word, appearing as if he were turning a blind eye to these stall owners.

Soon, Han Li had looked over all the stalls once, and his heart felt slightly disappointed.

Although the items on the stalls were all rare enough, the items that truly moved him had not appeared.

Several of the items, although coming from the wild, were also very obscure objects that seemed useful only to a specific group of people.

Han Li swept his gaze around, and just as he was hesitating whether to leave the Grand Profound Hall, footsteps suddenly came from behind him, and someone was walking toward him.

The white mist on his body flickered slightly, and Han Li turned to face the back in a strange manner. The person who had walked over stopped their footsteps, seemingly also somewhat surprised by Han Li's quick reaction.

This was a member of the demon race whose entire body was shrouded in black energy, with a figure that seemed quite slender, looking Han Li up and down.

It was just that both were concealed by secret techniques, and apart from the vague, flickering figures, naturally, nothing specific could be seen.

"Does your Excellency have any advice?" Han Li spoke first, his expression unchanged.

"Fellow Daoist, did you not find any suitable items?" the demon race member in the black energy asked with a light laugh; the voice was pleasant and melodious, belonging to a female.

"That's right, there truly isn't anything here that catches my eye. Fellow Daoist, what is your intention in asking this?" Han Li asked in return.

"It seems your Excellency is truly visiting the Grand Profound Hall for the first time. In fact, the items exchanged between our two races, apart from those displayed openly, are truly good items that are exchanged privately one-on-one." The woman said unhurriedly.

"Why do it this way! If they were brought out publicly, wouldn't it be easier to find a suitable buyer?" Han Li frowned.

"Fellow Daoist, do you truly not know, or are you pretending to be ignorant! When truly good items are brought out for exchange, even with the Light-Shielding Pendant and the Cloud-Veiling Banner to conceal one's true appearance, it is still very easy to be targeted by others. Moreover, some items are inherently very 'hot' and are simply not suitable for too many people to know their whereabouts. Alright, enough nonsense, do you actually want to exchange items or not?" The demon woman seemed somewhat impatient, her voice cooling by three degrees.

"As long as Fellow Daoist truly has good items, I am naturally willing to exchange. However, why did you approach me?" Han Li agreed fully, but then asked suddenly.

"That's simple. The way your Excellency looked so carefully at the items on the stalls, at first glance, you are mostly likely someone who has just arrived in Heaven Abyss City. Although your cultivation base is restricted, after careful observation, I can still tell that your Excellency is a Spirit Severing cultivator. You are exactly the person suitable for me to exchange with. Moreover, your Excellency is not the first person this little girl has sought out. Tell me what you have that is suitable for our demon race; apart from some of my own items, I am also entrusted with items for exchange by many companions within my race. So, Fellow Daoist, if you have good items, just bring them out." The demon woman didn't care at all and said frankly.

Hearing these words, the corners of Han Li's mouth moved, and he laughed lightly.

"I naturally have some items suitable for your noble race. But shouldn't you also reveal a thing or two about what you have in your hands first?"

"Hmph, I have everything from spirit herbs and materials to human magic treasures and ancient treasures. What do you want?" The demon woman sneered.

"I don't need finished magic treasures or anything like that; I am somewhat interested in materials. Does Fellow Daoist have the spirit blood of a True Toad beast? I am urgently in need of it." Han Li's gaze flickered a few times as he asked.

"True Toad spirit blood, hehe, Fellow Daoist truly knows how to pick items. True Toad liquid is not only useful to your human race, but it is also very useful to our demon race; who would trade this item in the Grand Profound Hall?" The demon woman was stunned upon hearing this, but immediately shook her head repeatedly.

"If that's the case, do you have any of the following items: Golden Grass over five thousand years old..." Han Li did not care at all about the woman's sarcastic remarks and immediately listed all the other materials he lacked for his pill formula one by one.

The demon woman only heard the first few, and the expression in the black energy began to look ugly. After Han Li finished speaking, it was only after a long while that she said unhappily:

"Don't even think about it. These pill materials that can enhance cultivation are only found in the wild world. Our demon race is also in great need of them. Even if we had them, we wouldn't trade them with your human race."

"Fellow Daoist, no need to be anxious. I don't necessarily need finished spirit herbs; I am also willing to pay a high price for the seeds or seedlings of these spirit herbs." Han Li was not disappointed upon hearing this and said unhurriedly instead.

"If that's the case, it's not necessarily impossible to find them. But it is also quite troublesome, and I don't have any on hand right now." The demon woman hesitated slightly and did not immediately refuse.

"As long as you can truly collect these items, I will definitely come to this place again to exchange with you, Fellow Daoist." Han Li was overjoyed.

"Hmm, I can only try this matter; after all, wild spirit herbs, even seeds and seedlings, are extremely scarce, and very few people are willing to sell them. However, if I truly find these items, what kind of items does your Excellency intend to use to exchange with this little girl? If it's spirit stones, Fellow Daoist, you'd better forget it. Even high-tier spirit stones are not something I lack." The demon woman said proudly.

Hearing this, Han Li's expression remained as usual, but his lips moved slightly, and he suddenly transmitted a few words via voice transmission.

"What, your Excellency truly has ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs!" The woman in the black energy trembled, and her tone suddenly became exceptionally pleasantly surprised.

And among these talismans, several types of talismans written in Silver Tadpole Script appeared.

These talismans were mostly auxiliary defensive types; attack-type talismans were not seen at all, and their numbers were few and far between, and their prices were all shockingly high. But one type of talisman imprinted with a pale silver human figure made Han Li very interested.

He asked the shopkeeper about it and learned that this was a Silver Tadpole Script secret talisman called a "Puppet Talisman" that had spread from the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

This talisman could summon a shadow puppet sealed within it. The puppet's supernatural powers and power level depended entirely on the refining level and the cultivation of the person manipulating the talisman.

But it was said that the most perfect puppet talisman could even completely replicate the cultivator's cultivation technique and cultivation level, making it a very practical type of talisman.

After finishing, Han Li's heart moved, and he couldn't help but think of the incomplete jade book in his hand.

The talisman path recorded on it also had a puppet talisman refining method, but he hadn't studied it carefully yet. Since the selling price of this Silver Tadpole Script talisman was so shocking, he would have to study it carefully when he went back.

Thinking this in his heart, Han Li simply found two talisman shops and took the opportunity to purchase a sufficient quantity of materials for refining Silver Tadpole Script talismans.

After doing all this, he then leisurely headed straight for the destination of this trip, the huge stone hall called the "Tai Xuan Hall" that connected the human and demon districts.

Although the auction wouldn't start for another two days, he wanted to see first if there were any good things on the demon side that could be exchanged.

After all, the demon race never participated in the human race's auctions, directly exchanging what they needed with the human race in the center of this Tai Xuan Hall.

To prevent any conflicts between the human and demon races during the transactions in the hall, all human cultivators who intended to enter the hall to prepare for exchanging things had to receive a palm-sized jade pendant.

As long as this jade pendant was carried on the body, a group of white mist would immediately cover the figure, and at the same time, it would temporarily restrict the cultivation of the wearer. Coupled with the restriction formation arranged by the Tai Xuan Hall itself, ordinary cultivators who recklessly used magic power in the hall would not only be unable to exert their own supernatural powers but would also be instantly teleported out of the stone hall. They would be unable to enter it again for a short period of time.

The demon race, on the other hand, had to receive a black banner, transforming into a group of demon clouds to hide their appearance.

Besides this, there were four Void Refinement stage Golden Guards and ten Azure Underworld Guards from both the human and demon races in the hall to maintain order, with the human and demon races each occupying half.

With such powerful forces, under normal circumstances, it was naturally enough to deal with any accidents.

When Han Li paid a hefty sum of spirit stones outside the hall gate and received another jade pendant from the guards to hang on his waist, he passed through a long corridor wrapped in white mist and walked into a certain gate.

As a result, a huge hall spanning several hundred zhang appeared before his eyes, and on the other side was an identical hall gate, with other passages leading to the distance.

And in this huge hall, there were sparsely over a hundred human and demon existences wrapped in white mist and black energy respectively. Among them, those in white mist were the majority.
