Chapter 1442: Sumeru Cave Heaven
Besides that withered shopkeeper and the angry man who spoke, there was also a gentle-looking youth who was equally unhappy. Web
Han Li's spiritual sense scanned them quietly, and he saw that both were at the early Spirit Severing stage.
"Hmph, I never said I would only bring one person to help me subdue the spirit beast. If anyone doesn't want to, they can leave. I won't stop them at all. But if you want Ice Heart Crystal, Purple Light Iron, and Green Luo Fruit, don't even think about it." The withered middle-aged man rolled his eyes and snorted.
The youth and the man heard this and couldn't help but look at each other. Han Li stood in place, his brow just furrowing slightly.
"Fine, three people it is. But if one of us helps subdue the spirit beast first, won't the others get nothing?" The youth asked with great concern.
"Hehe, rest assured. I never intended for you to take action alone, but for the three of you to use your thunder and lightning divine abilities together. Otherwise, based on previous experience, your bit of thunder and lightning power would never succeed. As long as we succeed in subduing it, I will give you the things you want according to our agreement." The shopkeeper sneered.
Hearing that they could get the things they wanted, the man and the youth relaxed their expressions and had no other objections.
The shopkeeper saw this and nodded with satisfaction, but his gaze swept over Han Li, and he let out a sound of surprise.
"Brother Han, it's only been a few days, and you've advanced from a mid-level Spirit General to a high-level one. It's truly unbelievable. I must congratulate you. In this way, the power of your thunder and lightning divine abilities should have increased by a few points." He asked with great interest.
"Junior was just lucky, the thunder and lightning power has indeed increased a bit." Han Li smiled faintly and replied half-truthfully.
Hearing the conversation between the two, the black-armored man and the youth also looked at Han Li twice, their expressions showing some surprise.
"Good, since the three of you have no opinions, follow me. I have already placed the spirit beast in a secret place. The three of you must take a trip with me." The shopkeeper said.
"Following Brother Yu is naturally no problem, but before letting us do things, shouldn't you let us verify the things we want?" The gentle-looking youth rolled his eyes and suggested.
The man heard this and was stunned, then repeatedly agreed. Han Li, although he didn't speak, naturally agreed in his heart.
"Want to verify the goods! No problem at all. I have already prepared the things, the three of you can take a good look." For the youth's words, the shopkeeper seemed to have expected it, and he agreed very generously, which was very different from his previous stingy tone, which stunned the youth who had prepared many arguments.
"Sou sou" three sounds, three wooden boxes of different sizes flew out.
The withered man actually threw the things over very cleanly.
The youth and the man were overjoyed, and they shook their sleeves, flying out a piece of light to wrap the wooden box in front of them.
Han Li's heart jumped, and he also reached out to catch the one flying toward him steadily, then skillfully opened the lid.
A heart-refreshing fragrance rushed into his nose, and in the wooden box was a fruit the size of a fist, emerald green, like a jade peach-shaped fruit, with two strange tree leaves of light red color underneath. Han Li narrowed his eyes and immediately reached out a finger to point at this fruit.
In fact, not only Han Li, but the other two also reached out to take the items in the box, intending to study them carefully.
But just then, the shopkeeper suddenly spoke indifferently:
"If I were you, I wouldn't touch the items in the box with my hands. They have already been placed with some small restrictions. If any accident happens, the three of you won't be able to pay even if you go bankrupt."
The hands of the three froze.
"Brother Yu, what do you mean? If we can't touch them with our hands, how can we identify the truth?" The man was startled and then became annoyed.
"With just the naked eye and spiritual sense, the three of you should have a seventy or eighty percent chance of identifying the things. If you really want to confirm the items in the box completely, you can wait until you are done. I cannot guarantee that the three of you will definitely succeed in helping me subdue the spirit beast. If you fail, there is no need to identify anything. Based on my reputation in the tribe, are you really afraid that I would fake it?" The withered man said indifferently.
"Fine. We will believe you once. I think Brother Yu won't really smash his own signboard." The gentle-looking youth looked at the things in the box several times, and after some hesitation, he finally stomped his foot and threw the wooden box back.
The man, after carefully looking at the thing in his hand, although he looked reluctant, finally handed the box back.
After collecting the two wooden boxes, the shopkeeper looked satisfied, and his gaze finally swept to the other side.
At this time, Han Li was staring at the green fruit in the box, blue light flashing secretly in the depths of his pupils, his face full of contemplation.
"Why, Brother Han, do you think there is something wrong with the Green Luo Fruit?" The shopkeeper was stunned, but immediately asked indifferently.
"Nothing." Han Li shook his head, closed the wooden box, and threw it to the shopkeeper.
The withered man took the wooden box, looked at Han Li deeply, and walked out of the door without saying a word.
Han Li and the other three naturally followed closely behind.
The shopkeeper's escape speed was extremely fast, but Han Li and the other three were not ordinary people, and they followed him easily until they flew out of the Trading Hall and headed straight for a certain direction in the Holy City.
After flying for a full hour, they arrived at a very remote corner of the Holy City.
The buildings here were obviously sparse, and there were not many Sky Roc people walking around, looking extremely desolate.
The shopkeeper landed in front of a low, inconspicuous building with them.
This building was only thirty or forty feet high, divided into two levels, and looked gray.
The moment the shopkeeper's feet touched the ground, the door opened by itself, and two men in their twenties walked out from inside, hurriedly bowing to the shopkeeper and greeting him:
"Welcome back, Grandmaster!"
"You two guard the outside, without my orders, no one is allowed to enter." The shopkeeper's face sank, and he ordered coldly.
"Obey!" The two men naturally agreed without hesitation, then split left and right, standing on both sides of the door immediately.
Han Li observed these two people and saw they were only at the Core Formation stage, so he didn't care.
The shopkeeper had already greeted them and walked into the building. The youth and the man hesitated for a moment before following him in.
Han Li entered last.
The area inside the house was not large, and all the furnishings looked ordinary. Three square wooden tables and more than a dozen wooden chairs occupied most of the room.
And on the walls around the room, there were several ancient paintings hanging, depicting monsters and landscapes, which were also unremarkable.
"Brother Yu, is that spirit beast really here?" The man scanned the room and couldn't help but ask.
The space here was so small, it didn't look like it could trap any powerful spirit beast, which was why he was half-believing.
"Since we have arrived here, would I lie to the three of you? Follow me." The shopkeeper glared at the man and said unceremoniously. He walked a few steps to an ancient landscape painting hanging on the wall of the room, and shook his sleeve, actually revealing another painting scroll in his hand.
With a light shake, this scroll unfolded, actually revealing the same content as the ancient painting scroll on the wall.
Seeing this scene, the man and Han Li were stunned, failing to understand the other party's intention. The gentle-looking youth scanned the two scrolls, but his face changed greatly and he exclaimed:
"Sumeru Cave Heaven Map, you actually have the supreme treasure of the Five Light Tribe!"
"Sumeru Map? Impossible, right? This kind of treasure, doesn't the Five Light Tribe only have seven sets? How could Brother Yu have obtained it." The man was startled and couldn't believe it.
Han Li was confused, but when he heard the word "Sumeru," his heart moved, and he looked carefully at the painting scroll on the wall.
He saw that on the yellowish scroll, a small ink-green mountain was painted, and there were some buildings on the mountain, but they were blurry, giving people a hazy feeling.
"Hehe, you two have good eyes, this is indeed the Sumeru Cave Heaven Map. However, this is not one of the seven sets that the Five Light Tribe regards as the town-tribe treasure, but a Sumeru Map with flaws." The shopkeeper smiled and said.
"A replica?" The youth and the man were both stunned.
"Correct, this matter is something that not many people in the Five Light Tribe know about. Originally, the Sumeru Cave Heaven Map refined by the Five Light Tribe using the spirit bones of the Five-Colored Peacock was not seven sets, but ten sets. But unfortunately, some flaws appeared during the refining of three of the sets. As a result, the efficacy was greatly reduced. So these three sets were hidden very early and were never announced to the outside world. These three sets of Sumeru Maps later fell into the hands of other tribes due to various reasons. As for how I obtained this set, the three of you don't need to know in detail." The withered man revealed an expression of pride.
"Even with flaws, being able to obtain this kind of Sumeru object, Brother Yu must have had a great opportunity." The man said with envy.
The gentle-looking youth looked at the two scrolls, and greed flashed in his eyes.
Han Li, although he had no strange expression on his face, was also burning with greed in his heart.
Sumeru objects, these were one of the treasure objects he wanted most after arriving in the Spirit Realm. This was different from the fake Sumeru space refined using space cracks in the human realm; it should be a real space treasure that existed independently and could be carried around.
"Alright, let's go. The spirit beast has been placed by me in the Cave Heaven." The shopkeeper's smile faded, and he shook the painting scroll in his hand fiercely.
An incredible scene appeared.
He saw that the painting scroll suddenly shone with five-colored spiritual light, then trembled and turned into a piece of light, sinking into the painting scroll on the wall and disappearing.
The shopkeeper muttered incantations and suddenly pointed at the painting scroll on the wall with one hand.
The painting scroll on the wall also flashed with spiritual light, and spat out a large piece of light.
This five-colored light, under the shopkeeper's drive, wrapped everyone in it.
Han Li hesitated for a moment, but still gave up resistance, letting the light wrap him tightly, but quietly thickened his protective spiritual light.
As a result, after a flash of light, the ground became empty, and there was no one left in the entire room.
