Chapter 2142: Volume 10: The War of the Demon Realm, Chapter 2117: Acquisition

The entire giant hall was clearly divided into two parts.

One half was like an ordinary shop, displaying rows of stone counters, on which various materials and treasures were exhibited.

Behind each ten-foot-long counter stood a beautiful young maid.

Near these counters, there were more than a dozen men and women, who were selecting the things they needed. Those beautiful maids would explain from time to time with a smile.

The other half of the hall, however, was covered by a layer of blurry cyan light screen. At the entrance similar to the light screen, two cyan-clothed attendants stood expressionlessly.

There were also some treasures on the shelves in the light screen, but their value was clearly higher than those outside.

Han Li's brows furrowed slightly, and the powerful spiritual pressure he had originally suppressed was released a bit.

Although it was only the cultivation base of the late Void Refinement stage, it was enough to make everyone in the hall feel it, and their gazes couldn't help but sweep over, all showing expressions of awe on their faces.

At this time, the cyan light screen swayed, and a demonic woman whose appearance and cultivation base were far superior to the maids outside walked out from inside.

She looked to be twenty-three or twenty-four years old, wearing a brocade robe, her demeanor graceful!

This woman's jade feet moved, and she walked to Han Li's side in a few steps, bowed slightly, and said:

"Welcome Senior to Cai Xuan Pavilion, this junior is Xiao Yan, the acting manager of this pavilion. I don't know what I can do for Senior."

This woman was a high-tier demon at the Spirit Transformation stage.

"I heard that your pavilion is the largest shop in Blue Waterfall City. Is it true?" Han Li looked at the demonic woman twice and asked noncommittally.

"Returning to Senior, largest, this pavilion doesn't dare to claim. But if it's about the completeness of goods, this shop is absolutely second to none." Xiao Yan replied with a charming smile.

"Oh, if that's the case, I shouldn't have found the wrong place. I have some things

"It is naturally my honor that a senior would take a fancy to our pavilion. This is not a place for conversation; please follow me to the VIP room on the second floor, senior," Xiao Yan said hurriedly, feeling a surge of joy in her heart.

To this woman, with the other party's cultivation base, to say the word "large quantity" was naturally absolutely a big deal.

Han Li had no intention of objecting. After nodding, he followed the woman and headed toward the stairs.

After a short while, Han Li was sitting in a room decorated with exceptional elegance, sipping a cup of pale silver tea that was fragrant and pungent.

The woman in the brocade robe stood to one side, smiling and saying something.

"Senior, this Taro Tea is also a specialty of Blue Waterfall Lake; it has the effect of condensing the soul and nourishing the spirit. Even our pavilion can only receive a few dozen catties a year. It can be considered extremely rare."

"Mm, it is indeed extraordinary. But having reached my level of cultivation, this bit of efficacy is negligible," Han Li said casually after finishing the tea, not caring.

"With senior's realm, you naturally wouldn't take mere spirit tea to heart. But I wonder, senior, what items you wish to purchase in large quantities this time? As long as our pavilion has them, I will certainly satisfy senior's requirements!" The woman in the brocade robe finally asked the main point.

"Alien Demon Gold, Blood Tooth Rice!" Han Li had no intention of wasting words and directly stated the two items.

Upon hearing the first name, Xiao Yan's expression did not change, but when she heard the second name, her expression couldn't help but change, and she remained silent for a long while.

"What, does your pavilion have a problem with these two items?" Han Li asked deliberately, acting as if he hadn't noticed.

"To be honest with you, senior, the Alien Demon Gold is easy to talk about. Although it is relatively rare, our pavilion's warehouse still has quite a bit in storage. If senior really wants it, you can pick and take as much as you like. As for the Blood Tooth Rice, that makes things difficult for our pavilion," the woman in the brocade robe said with a troubled expression.

"Before I came, I did hear that Blue Waterfall City controls the Blood Tooth Rice quite strictly, and no matter how high one's cultivation is, one can only purchase a few grains a year. But with your pavilion's strength, can't this restriction be accommodated a little?" Han Li asked, raising an eyebrow.

"It seems senior really knows nothing about the production situation of the local Blood Tooth Rice. If senior thinks like that, you are truly very mistaken," the woman in the brocade robe gave a bitter laugh.

"I have just arrived here, so I really don't know much about this. Could you explain it, fellow Daoist?" Han Li asked calmly after a moment of silence.

"This matter is not something that needs to be kept secret, so telling you is naturally fine. I don't mean to boast! If we are talking about other materials and treasures, our Cai Xuan Pavilion wouldn't dare say we have everything, but we do have certain supply channels, so we can maintain a certain amount of stock. Only this Blood Tooth Rice, a specialty of this city, is controlled by the City Lord's Mansion. Every year, we can only receive a certain quantity from the City Lord's Mansion according to certain regulations. Although our pavilion is one of the few large shops in the city, we really don't have much of this Blood Tooth Rice. And according to the City Lord's Mansion's regulations, the sale of this Blood Tooth Rice must be registered, and it is strictly checked every year," the woman in the brocade robe said truthfully.

"So, there is no room for accommodation at all?" Han Li asked again slowly, his brow furrowing upon hearing this.

"I am truly sorry, this kind of matter is not something I can handle. However, if senior only wants two or three more grains, I can risk being reprimanded by those above and try to find a way. Any more than that, our pavilion is truly powerless," the woman in the brocade robe replied after hesitating for a moment.

"Hehe, two or three grains? If I only wanted that little, why would I have come to your Cai Xuan Pavilion? Forget it, since your pavilion feels the Blood Tooth Rice is difficult to handle, let's just talk about the Alien Demon Gold. About how many pieces does your pavilion have, and what is the price?" Han Li gave a chuckle, changing the subject.

"As for the Alien Demon Gold, senior can rest assured! Our pavilion just received a batch of goods a few days ago, and the quantity is as many as a hundred pieces. I wonder how many pieces senior needs? If you really want a lot, I can make the decision to lower the price a bit," the woman in the brocade robe said, her spirits lifting upon hearing this, and she replied with full confidence.

"A hundred pieces? Then bring them all," Han Li said, his expression showing little emotion.

"You want them all? I didn't hear you wrong, did I?" The woman in the brocade robe gasped.

"What, fellow Daoist, do you think I am joking?" Han Li narrowed his eyes and said faintly.

"How would I dare to think that? Senior, please wait a moment. I will call someone to bring the items out so senior can take a look first," the young woman in the brocade robe said, suppressing the excitement in her heart and showing a fawning expression.

"Good, then I will wait here for a moment!" Han Li smiled slightly and nodded calmly.

After the time it takes to eat a meal, Han Li was personally seen out of the Cai Xuan Pavilion's gate by the woman in the brocade robe.

He swaggered to the roadside, hailed another beast-drawn carriage, and after instructing the driver to go to another large merchant shop, he closed his eyes in the carriage to rest.

Just like that, Han Li spent the entire day running to five or six large merchant shops, almost sweeping away all the Alien Demon Gold in their inventory, but he still had no harvest regarding the Blood Tooth Rice.

These large merchant shops refused the request to sell Blood Tooth Rice in large quantities with one voice.

Han Li was not discouraged by this. He found an inn to stay in for the night, and early the next morning, he continued to visit each merchant shop in Blue Waterfall City one by one.

However, this time, the shops Han Li sought out were indeed those of medium scale.

Just like that, Han Li stayed in Blue Waterfall Lake for seven full days, almost running through all the large and small shops in the city, and he collected a large batch of Alien Demon Gold.

Such a large amount of Alien Demon Gold naturally cost a sky-high price in magic stones. But relative to Han Li's net worth, it was but a drop in the bucket, and he didn't take it to heart.

However, even after collecting so much Alien Demon Gold, Han Li did not find another piece containing that mysterious crystal bead, which made him greatly disappointed.

But he did not give up his plan to purchase Alien Demon Gold and continued to purchase it incessantly from various large and small shops.

As for the Blood Tooth Rice, after hitting a wall at the first few shops, Han Li did not mention it again to those small and medium-sized shops.

The result of his doing this naturally let some well-informed people in the city know that a foreign demon race member had suddenly arrived in Blue Waterfall Lake, searching everywhere for Alien Demon Gold.

However, most people didn't pay any attention to this.

With Blue Waterfall City's fame and the number of foreign demon merchants coming and going, such things happened almost every few days.

But to the ears of some interested people, it was quite different.

On the eighth day, just as Han Li had walked out of his residence and was about to hail a beast-drawn carriage, a figure suddenly flashed in front of him. A demon race man with a handlebar mustache suddenly appeared before him and said to Han Li with a fawning smile,

"I heard that senior is purchasing Alien Demon Gold in large quantities. My companion happens to have a batch in his hands. I wonder if senior might be interested?"

"I only purchase in large quantities. If there are only a few or a dozen pieces, don't bother me," Han Li sized the other party up for a few moments, and after discovering that the other party only had a Nascent Soul-stage cultivation base, he replied as if he were indifferent.

"Senior, rest assured. If there were only that little Alien Demon Gold, how would I dare to come to your door to disturb you? The quantity of Alien Demon Gold my companion possesses will absolutely make senior very satisfied," the demon race man continued to say with a fawning smile.

"Oh, there is such a thing? Where is your companion? If it's outside the city area, then forget it," Han Li's expression shifted slightly, appearing somewhat tempted but also suspicious.

"Senior, rest assured, my companion is waiting for your arrival at the most famous Immortal Residence Building in the city," the demon race man explained hurriedly.

"Looking at you, it seems what you say is not false. Fine, I will make this trip," Han Li's eyes flickered a few times, but the expression on his face softened, and he said.

Upon hearing this, the demon race man was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly waved his hand to the side. A beast-drawn carriage that had been prepared long ago immediately sped over.

The demon race man and Han Li boarded the carriage and sped off toward one end of the street.

Several hours later, in a relatively hidden hall, Han Li finally saw several demon race men and women with unfamiliar faces.
