Chapter 1438: Three Choices

Those two people who looked like customers were a middle-aged man and woman who looked like a couple, talking to the shopkeeper. Web

One was at the early Spirit Severing stage, and the other was at the mid Spirit Severing stage. As for the shopkeeper, upon closer inspection, he was actually a terrifying existence at the late Spirit Severing stage.

How could someone with such cultivation be opening a shop here?

Han Li felt a burst of shock in his heart.

That couple saw someone enter and immediately swept a glance over.

They saw Han Li's mid Spirit Severing stage cultivation and felt his face was extremely unfamiliar, so they were also very surprised.

As for the withered shopkeeper, he just glanced at him and ignored Han Li, continuing to chat lazily with the two people in front of him.

"If you haven't found the Spirit-Absorbing Stone, don't even think about the Purple Immortal Wood, you two! As for high-grade spirit stones, do you think I lack these things?" This withered middle-aged man actually had a very arrogant tone.

"Brother Yu, using Spirit-Absorbing Stone to exchange for Purple Immortal Wood, this condition is too harsh. This thing only exists in the depths of the Earth Abyss. Not to mention Spirit Severing cultivators like us, even the few Elders in the tribe wouldn't dare to enter so deep easily." The woman, who still had charm, said with an unwilling expression.

"That's none of my business. Do you think my Purple Immortal Wood was blown here by the wind? Without Spirit-Absorbing Stone, don't even mention this matter." The withered shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said unceremoniously.

The couple's expressions became very ugly when they heard the shopkeeper say this. But no matter how they pleaded, the old man remained cold and did not loosen his stance at all.

In the end, the couple could only leave helplessly, full of thoughts.

From beginning to end, they did not speak a word to Han Li.

"Kid, what business do you have coming to me?" The shopkeeper waited for the couple to walk out the door, then sat on the chair behind the table with an impatient look.

"I heard you have Green Luo Fruit for sale here. Is it true?" Han Li asked calmly.

"Green Luo Fruit. That is one of the most precious items in this shop. A mere Flying Spirit General cannot afford it. Don't waste my time, leave this place immediately." The middle-aged man was stunned after hearing Han Li's words, and after carefully looking at Han Li twice, he let out a cold snort from his nose and began to drive Han Li away directly.

"If Senior doesn't state the conditions, how do you know I can't trade for this item?" Han Li smiled faintly, his feet not moving at all.

"Hmph, refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!" The withered middle-aged man was furious. One of the silver wings on his back suddenly flapped toward Han Li from the air.

After a muffled sound, a formless giant force pressed toward Han Li's face, and even the nearby air began to hum.

Han Li's eyes twitched. He did not dodge at all, but raised his hand and lightly slashed with his finger as a sword.

A golden light flashed, and the giant force was easily split in two. It brushed past Han Li's sides, emitting a rumbling sound.

"Eh! No wonder you have some confidence; it seems you really have some ability." The withered shopkeeper let out a light sound of surprise, his eyes flashing with brilliance, looking a bit surprised.

"Does Junior now have the qualifications to trade with Senior?" Han Li asked again with his normal expression.

"Hmm, I suppose you have the qualifications. But if you want to set your sights on the Green Luo Fruit, you are still overestimating yourself; it is impossible." The shopkeeper replied indifferently.

"If you don't even tell me how to exchange for it, how do you know I can't pay for what you want?" Han Li replied with a half-smile.

"Since you are so confident, it doesn't hurt for me to tell you now that I have no other customers. The rarity of the Green Luo Fruit goes without saying. If you want to exchange for this item, I will give you three choices. As long as you can achieve any one of them, I can exchange the Green Luo Fruit for you." The shopkeeper pondered for a moment, his expression softening as he changed his tone. "Three choices, it seems the Green Luo Fruit is really not easy to get. Otherwise, why would Senior give so many choices?" Hearing the other party's words, Han Li smiled bitterly.

"You know that. First, if you can produce the legendary Nether Lotus or Dark Blood Crystal, I won't say a word and will immediately give you the Green Luo Fruit." The withered middle-aged man sneered and said leisurely.

"These two spirit items are just rumors. Whether they truly exist in the world is another matter. I certainly cannot have these two items." Han Li shook his head repeatedly.

"Hehe, rumors." The middle-aged man heard this, and a trace of sarcasm appeared on his face. But

"Since you feel the first choice is impossible, then for the second choice, I will say something you can definitely find. If you have five or six hundred top-grade spirit stones in your hand, I can reluctantly sell you a Green Luo Fruit."

"Five or six hundred top-grade spirit stones, Senior is really opening your mouth like a lion. With so many top-grade spirit stones, I estimate even the few Elders in the tribe couldn't take them out. This, Junior also cannot do." Han Li's expression changed several times, becoming quite ugly.

If the other party had only said a hundred or so top-grade spirit stones, he would have gritted his teeth and exchanged many of his own stored spirit medicines to try to scrape them together. With such a quantity as five or six hundred, he didn't even think about it and gave up directly.

"Hmph, the item is mine. I think the Green Luo Fruit is worth so many spirit stones, so naturally, I set such conditions." The shopkeeper said without caring at all.

Han Li heard this and could only be speechless.

"You couldn't accept the first two conditions; I estimate you have no way to achieve the last choice either. Do you still want to hear it?" The withered middle-aged man said coldly.

"Senior should still say it!" Han Li said gloomily.

Hearing Han Li say this, the shopkeeper's face showed a strange expression, and after a while, he said:

"This last condition is not something everyone is qualified to choose. Before I say it, I must ask you first. Are you proficient in thunder and lightning power?"

"Thunder and lightning?" Han Li's pupils shrank, feeling very surprised.

"Correct. If you don't possess thunder-attribute divine abilities at all, or only have a rough understanding, there is no need for me to continue with the third choice."

"As for thunder and lightning power, I dare say I can control some of it." Han Li felt a bit strange, but after pondering, he still answered honestly.

"Is that so? Words are not proof. Show me first, let me see if you truly have the qualifications before we talk." The withered middle-aged man did not intend to believe Han Li so simply, but said with his eyes flashing with brilliance.

"No problem!" Han Li agreed immediately, the wings on his back just shaking lightly.

"Boom—" A thunderous sound erupted, and countless silver electric arcs suddenly appeared on his wings. Following that, as they intertwined, all the electric arcs condensed and shrank, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen silver thunderballs appeared around Han Li.

Each one was the size of a fist, crackling and expanding and contracting. But the terrifying power contained in these thunder balls made the withered middle-aged man's pupils shrink, revealing a bit of surprise.

"Not bad, you really didn't exaggerate; your thunder and lightning divine abilities are indeed not small. You can listen to my last choice. Actually, it's very simple. The last condition doesn't require you to exchange anything for the Green Luo Fruit; it just requires you to help me subdue a thunder-attribute spirit beast."

"Subdue a spirit beast!" Han Li's eyes flickered, feeling very surprised.

"Why, do you think it's very simple? To tell you the truth, this spirit beast is a bit special. Although I have already captured it alive, I have never been able to subdue it for my own use. I have looked for quite a few people, but not one has been able to help me truly subdue it. Instead, many people with insufficient divine abilities were bitten back and injured by this beast. However, if you are confident that you really have some attainments in thunder and lightning power, it's not that there is no chance at all. But I must say the ugly words first: if you are injured or killed, I will not care at all." The withered middle-aged man said with deep meaning.

"Thunder-attribute spirit beast? Can Senior tell me directly what spirit beast it is?" Han Li's brow furrowed tightly after hearing this.

"What kind of spirit beast, it's not convenient to tell you for now. If you really decide to help me, I will take you to see this beast, and you will know when you see it." The middle-aged man's eyes flashed with a bit of cunning.

Hearing the other party's vague answer, Han Li touched his chin and naturally cursed in his heart, but his mind was still racing with various thoughts about this matter.

This person was a late Spirit Severing existence, yet he couldn't subdue a captured spirit beast; there must be something strange inside. But since the other party pointed out that he needed someone proficient in thunder and lightning power to help, it didn't look like he had no sincerity at all.

Han Li pondered for a good while before asking again:

"What degree of subduing does Senior mean?"

"Naturally, it means assisting me in making it surrender obediently and accept my recognition ceremony." The middle-aged man said without hesitation.

"If it is to this degree, Junior is willing to assist Senior and give it a try." Han Li did not hesitate anymore. "Very good! For the recognition ceremony, I need to prepare beforehand. In four days, come back to this place to find me." The shopkeeper said with a smile. "In four days, I will arrive here on time. Junior will take his leave first." Han Li did not say much more, bowed slightly, and left the shop.

Looking at the direction of the door where Han Li disappeared, the withered middle-aged man reached out and touched the goatee on his chin, a trace of excitement appearing in his eyes.

After Han Li came out of the shop, he did not rush to leave the Trading Hall immediately, but returned to the stone pillar displaying trading information, hoping to find other surprises...

It was not until the sky was getting dark and the Trading Hall was about to close that Han Li's figure flew out of the giant gate with joy.

His harvest this time was truly rich. Besides discovering the traces of the Green Luo Fruit, he also discovered several other rare materials in the Sky Roc Tribe's Trading Hall that were impossible to find in the human race. Among them were both artifact refining items and spirit flowers and grasses.

Among them, one spirit medicine was exactly the other main medicine needed to refine the Brahma Saint True Demon Dharma Body in combination with the Gold Marrow Crystal Insect.

This naturally made Han Li overjoyed.

As long as he found the other two spirit medicines, he could gather all the materials and condense the Dharma Body True Form.

Han Li pondered in his heart, and his entire body turned into a ball of green light, flying straight toward his residence.

Tomorrow was the three-day deadline agreed upon with the Sky Roc Tribe Great Elder.

But Han Li, in the light of his escape, had a smile on his lips, as if he had completely forgotten about this matter.
