Chapter 162: Myriad Treasure Tower

The Profound Heaven Sect's marketplace looked very much like the Green Ox Town in Han Li's hometown. The entire marketplace consisted of only one street, running north-south. At the southern end, there were dozens of buildings of various sizes, some high and some low, some were multi-story buildings, while others were just small huts, which were very uneven.

These were all properties of the Profound Heaven Sect, but only a small half were managed by Profound Heaven Sect disciples themselves, while the other large half were rented to cultivation families and loose cultivators who did business here all year round. Most of them were shops for buying and selling raw materials, talismans, and magic tools. There was also a Five Elements Bookstore specializing in selling beginner spells, and two restaurants and inns for people's daily needs.

In addition, besides those low-tier deacon disciples, the entire marketplace had a certain number of Core Formation stage experts stationed here all year round to maintain the order of this marketplace and prevent anyone from causing trouble.

The large section in the northern part of the street was left empty specifically for cultivators who set up stalls on a whim. As long as they handed over a low-tier spirit stone to the Profound Heaven Sect disciples managing this place, outsiders could set up stalls on the empty ground on both sides for a whole day without any interference, and even receive protection from these disciples while setting up stalls, without fear of enemies taking this opportunity to retaliate.

With these measures to encourage outside cultivators to do business here, coupled with the marketplace's special geographical environment, the Profound Heaven Sect's marketplace became more prosperous year by year, and some rare items flowed out from the marketplace from time to time, which attracted more cultivators to come here to hunt for treasures.

However, to avoid suspicion, Han Li did not enter from the most convenient southern street entrance, but took a large detour and entered from the north. Moreover, before stepping onto the street entrance, he covered his head with a green cloak to hide his face, to prevent anyone here from actually recognizing him.

It was already afternoon, and the street of the marketplace looked sparse and didn't seem to have many people. However, this was also a very normal thing. After all, this marketplace was not a bustling city in the mortal world, bustling all day long. Those who could come here were all one-in-ten-thousand cultivators! It was already quite good to have so many people.

Han Li, who had figured this out, mocked himself and walked towards the small stalls on both sides of the street. He planned to first see if there was anything worth noting in these stalls, and then go to those large shops.

After looking around, Han Li felt a bit disappointed. Except for three or four items that could barely be called decent, the other magic tools and talismans in these small stalls were of no use to him at all, and buying them would just be a waste of spirit stones, so he stopped wasting time and turned to head straight for those large shops.

"Seven Wonders Pavilion"

"Wind-Drawing Studio"

"Heavenly Craft Tower"

This time, Han Li did not recklessly walk into any shop, but strolled along the street slowly. After carefully remembering the names and scales of these shops, he chose a building that looked the most imposing and was frequently visited by other cultivators—the Myriad Treasure Tower—and walked in.

Just hearing the name of this shop, one knew that the owner of the shop was very confident in their goods, and Han Li also hoped that there were truly some rare treasures here that were hard to see, so he wouldn't return empty-handed.

As soon as he entered, Han Li was slightly stunned.

The bright hall, which could accommodate dozens of people without feeling crowded, the long counters made of precious red paulownia wood, and seven or eight attendants in uniform green shirts—all of this gave people a sense of absolute atmospheric shock.

And among the green-shirted attendants in the hall, two were explaining something to several cultivators who looked like guests.

In the counters, there were many items of all kinds. From the style, they should all be things that only cultivators could use, from the lowest-tier raw materials to the most commonly used talismans and magic tools, everything was available.

Han Li smiled slightly; it seemed he had truly found the right place.

Just then, a person who looked like a green-shirted attendant came up, full of smiles, and said: "What does this guest want to see? Do you need me to help introduce it! Our shop's things will definitely make all guests satisfied and return!"

"I want to see some magic tools and talismans, but I only want the best things. Don't bring out those inferior goods for me to see!" Han Li said faintly from behind the cloak.

The green-shirted attendant was slightly stunned upon hearing this, but after carefully sizing up Han Li's momentum and confirming that the other party was not joking, his smile became even more genuine. He knew he had definitely encountered a big customer, so he hurriedly let Han Li into the room and personally led him to the VIP room on the second floor.

The furnishings upstairs were different from the hall below. Not only was the area much smaller, but there were also some antique tables and chairs, arranged elegantly and comfortably. The most shocking thing was that there was a precious incense burner in the corner of the room, and a bundle of incense was burning slowly in the burner, filling the room with a faint sandalwood fragrance.

A gentle and refined middle-aged man was standing in the room, holding an ancient book and reading aloud, looking like an ordinary person without any magic power at all.

Han Li was a bit dumbfounded; this place didn't look like a place for business at all, but exactly the same as the residence of a wealthy family.

The reader saw Han Li come up, closed the book without haste, and the green-shirted attendant who came up with Han Li stepped forward and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, the middle-aged man bowed and greeted him, and said with a smile:

"I am Tian Tian Buli, the manager of the Myriad Treasure Pavilion. May I ask how to address you!"

"Li Li Feiyu," Han Li borrowed his friend's name without hesitation.

"So it's Brother Li, please sit!"

"Go, brew a pot of fine Biyun tea!" The middle-aged man led Han Li to sit down, and then ordered the servant.

"Is this Brother Li's first time at our tower?" The middle-aged man asked politely after Han Li sat down steadily.

"Hehe! Manager Tian has a good eye. This is indeed my first time visiting your tower." Han Li deliberately changed his voice, making it sound like a rough-voiced man.

"Whether it's the first time at our tower or not, it doesn't matter! As long as you are willing to come here, this is a favor to our Myriad Treasure Tower. Our tower will definitely make you satisfied!" Manager Tian said with great confidence.

"Being able to find what I need in one shop, I don't want to trouble myself by running to two more! I hope your tower's things are really good." Han Li said, seemingly half-believing.

"Hehe! Please rest assured about this, Brother Li. Our tower's reputation on this street is absolutely one of the best. If our shop couldn't satisfy you, then there's no need to look at other shops!" The manager said unhurriedly, looking confident.

At this time, a person dressed as a maid came upstairs with a teapot and several teacups. Before she even got close to the two, a clear and elegant tea fragrance had already filled the room.

"This is a special tea made by our tower, which is not easy to see elsewhere. Not only does it smell incomparably fragrant, but it can also make the drinker full of energy. Brother Li, you can taste it first." Manager Tian waited for the maid to set up the tea set and go downstairs, then took a small sip proudly and said with a smile.

Han Li looked at the fragrant tea in front of him, shook his head slightly, and said with a bit of impatience:

"Manager Tian, tea can be drunk slowly later. Now let's get down to business first!"

"I didn't expect you to be an impatient person! Alright, please wait a moment, I'll be right back!" Manager Tian stood up with a bit of regret, bowed to Han Li, and left him alone to go downstairs first.

About a cup of tea's time later, Manager Tian appeared in front of Han Li again, only he had several brocade boxes of different sizes in his arms.

"The servant below said that Brother Li wanted the best magic tools and talismans, so I specifically went to the storage room below and took out several treasures that have been treasured for a long time for Brother Li to see. I hope they can catch your eye!" Manager Tian patted the brocade box and said with a smile.

Han Li's eyes lit up when he heard this, and his curiosity about the things in these brocade boxes grew. He wondered what kind of rare items would be called treasures by the other party, and whether they would exceed his expectations.

Manager Tian had already placed the brocade boxes on the table one by one and opened them separately for him to watch. But Han Li noticed that as the brocade boxes were opened, two spiritual pressures with magic power absolutely above his own emerged from nowhere, locking onto his every move.

Han Li was shocked at first, but then he understood that this was the security measure of the Myriad Treasure Tower, a backup for these treasures, to prevent him from suddenly rising up and robbing the things in the brocade boxes. So he relaxed, but he had a new understanding of the strength of the Myriad Treasure Tower.
