Chapter 2456

~11 min read 2,092 words

A month later, in a seemingly ordinary small town, some people with strange horns on their heads and scales on their faces and limbs were walking back and forth on the street.

In addition, there were a few more sparsely populated people with exceptionally powerful auras who used various methods to conceal their appearances, appearing on the main street dedicated to selling goods in the east, and from time to time entering and exiting some hidden shops that were rarely visited by ordinary people.

"What, Senior wants twenty thousand catties of Wind Essence Gold?" In a somewhat dim shop, a middle-aged shopkeeper with short purple horns on his head looked at the guest before him with some surprise.

Although the large-scale transactions that had been appearing frequently recently had made him somewhat accustomed to it, the sheer amount of materials requested by the person before him still made his heart feel a hint of horror.

"Why, can you not take it out? I heard that this shop is famous on Dragon Island for selling Wind Essence Gold; you wouldn't be unable to even take out this amount, right?" The person standing before the shopkeeper had a low voice and was shrouded in a layer of pale cyan light, making it impossible to see any age or appearance, giving one a feeling of being exceptionally mysterious.

"If Senior had come half a month ago, this shop could indeed have scraped together such a large amount of Wind Essence Gold, but now there are only eight thousand catties in stock; the remaining amount was bought by other seniors half a month ago," the middle-aged shopkeeper said respectfully.

People dressed like this and acting so generously were undoubtedly other powerhouse guests from outside the island; as a mid-tier Dragon Person with only a slight amount of True Dragon bloodline, he naturally didn't dare to have any negligence.

"Eight thousand catties will be eight thousand catties; I want all the rest. Here is the payment!" The person in the cyan light only pondered for a moment before making the decision, flicking his sleeve, and a round ring flew out.

"Alright, Senior please wait a moment; this junior will call someone to send the materials over immediately," the middle-aged shopkeeper only checked the items in the storage ring slightly before agreeing immediately.

Following this, he took out a disc-shaped magic tool from his body, spoke a few words into it in a low voice, and waited together with the guest before him.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, in a small hidden formation in another room behind the shop, light glow flashed, and a tall, young Dragon Person appeared.

He walked quickly into the shop in a few steps, took out three identical cyan storage bracelets from his bosom one after another, and handed them all to the middle-aged shopkeeper.

"Senior please count the quantity and see if it is correct," the middle-aged shopkeeper then immediately turned and held the storage bracelets he had just obtained to the guest before him.

"I believe in your race's reputation; no need to check," the person in the cyan light said indifferently, then moved his arm slightly. A sheet of cyan glow flew out, pulling all three storage bracelets back into his hand, truly not checking anything before turning and leaving immediately.

Only the two Dragon People in the shop were left looking at each other in dismay.

"This person has such great spirit; he didn't even take a look at such a large amount of Wind Essence Gold," the tall young Dragon Person exhaled lightly and said with a hint of emotion.

"What do you know! These people can come to Dragon Island, they must have some relationship with those True Dragon adults on the island. Besides, when their realm reaches this level, can they really be afraid of being cheated by shops like ours? Otherwise, as long as they tell the stewards on the island, can you and I have any good fruit to eat?" The middle-aged shopkeeper rolled his eyes and said.

After the young Dragon Person pondered again, he nodded in realization.

At the same time, a streak of cyan light landed on a hill outside the small town. After the light converged, a figure in cyan clothes appeared; it was Han Li.

He took out the three storage bracelets again, checked them slightly, and a look of satisfaction appeared on his face. The escape light rose again, and he turned into a cyan rainbow and broke through the air toward another direction on Dragon Island.

Three months later.

A streak of cyan rainbow shot through the sky above a bright red mountain range, and after a few flashes, it landed abruptly in an ordinary valley below.

On a platform in the center of the valley with no cover at all, five men and women of different appearances and clothing were sitting cross-legged.

A young girl who looked no more than seven or eight years old, an old man with emerald green skin, a middle-aged couple in their thirties, and a burly man with countless silver patterns imprinted on his body.

The cyan rainbow circled in the air and landed accurately in the center of the platform. Han Li slowly walked out from within.

Han Li swept his gaze over the others present, smiled slightly, and sat down cross-legged not far from the young girl.

The others present showed no surprise at Han Li's appearance, all sitting silently in place without moving.

After another while, a sound of breaking air came from the distant horizon, and a five-colored long rainbow shot over at the same time.

After this long rainbow flashed a few times, it also arrived above the valley. After the light converged, a beautiful woman draped in rainbow clothes appeared from within.

The woman slowly landed on the platform from the air, looked around with a cold expression, and also found an unoccupied corner to sit cross-legged.

"The number of people is enough, so let our exchange begin immediately. If you have no objections, let this old man be the first to throw out a brick to attract jade," the old man with emerald green skin said, slowly standing up as soon as the woman sat down.

"Since you are willing to go first, just do as you please."

"For this kind of exchange, it naturally doesn't matter who is first or last."

Including Han Li, the others had no objections, either agreeing directly or tacitly agreeing without speaking.

So, the old man flicked his sleeve unceremoniously, and a roar echoed in the center of the platform. A rectangular stone table emitting white light appeared out of thin air from the ground. Following this, he flipped his palm, and immediately, amidst flashing spiritual light, over a dozen items all landed steadily on it.

Han Li's gaze condensed, and he saw the appearance of these items clearly.

Apart from a few items contained in jade boxes and wooden caskets, most of the others were rare treasures that were hard to see in the Spirit Realm, and there were even a few items that even he couldn't identify.

"For these few items of mine, I want to exchange for Ten-Thousand-Year Yin Marrow, Xuanyuan Wood, Nine-Orifice Spirit Emerald. Of course, if there are things like Profound Heaven Remnant Treasures, this old man will also absolutely satisfy the person exchanging," the old man pointed at the few jade boxes and wooden caskets, opened them, and said unhurriedly.

After the others finished looking at the items on the stone table, some remained expressionless, some furrowed their brows, but no one spoke to say anything immediately.

"Why, are all these items of mine unable to enter your eyes? If that's the case, I will immediately put them away and let the next fellow Daoist come up," the old man waited for a while, and seeing that no one had any intention of exchanging, he said somewhat impatiently.

"Why be so impatient, fellow Daoist? I have a piece of Xuanyuan Wood here, but I don't know if it meets your wishes." Hearing the old man's words, it was actually the young girl who looked the youngest who spoke, her voice incomparably tender, and after a small hand beckoned, a pitch-black object immediately flew out.

A hint of joy appeared on the old man's face, and he raised a hand, sucking the object over out of thin air. But after examining it for two glances, he revealed a hint of disappointment.

"The age of this Xuanyuan Wood is slightly insufficient, and the volume is slightly small. What do you intend to exchange for on the table?" The old man pondered carefully before asking.

"I intend to use this wood to exchange for a Taiyi Pill on the table," the young girl pointed at a certain jade box on the stone table and replied unceremoniously.

"For a Taiyi Golden Pill, the value is about the same. I'll exchange!" This time, the old man agreed without hesitation.

The young girl pursed her small mouth, hooked a finger slightly at the jade box on the stone table, and a golden pill immediately rose into the air, flying to her side on its own.

The young girl grabbed the pill, put it away, and sat cross-legged again as if nothing had happened.

"I am quite interested in this jade tablet; how about exchanging it for a bottle of Filthy Yin Liquid that is about the same as Ten-Thousand-Year Yin Marrow?" Seeing someone start, the man among the couple finally spoke.

"Can," the old man only thought for a moment before nodding.

In the time that followed, the others also began to exchange one after another. As a result, after a round, more than half of the items on the table were successfully exchanged.

Han Li also exchanged for a material that looked like gold but wasn't gold, and like stone but wasn't stone.

The old man asked three more times, and after confirming that no one was truly willing to exchange, he put away the remaining items with some satisfaction.

"Which fellow Daoist is willing to go up next?" Someone asked lazily.

"If no one is competing, then this one will go first," Han Li's eyes flashed a few times before he stood up with a smile.

Four months later.

On a golden giant ship floating on a giant lake, nearly a hundred guards in silver armor were patrolling back and forth nearby.

In a magnificent hall on the highest level of the giant ship, Han Li was sitting face-to-face with an old man draped in a golden robe.

Behind the old man stood a silver-robed youth with a pale face but a smile at the corners of his mouth; it was Fan Paozi, who had invited Han Li to Dragon Island.

"So, Brother Han needs to see what this old man has brought out for exchange before deciding whether to exchange that True Soul Pill." The golden-robed old man had a pair of purple horns similar to Fan Paozi's, a square face, and sword-like brows. As soon as he spoke, he gave one a feeling of being awe-inspiring without being angry.

"Elder Jin, please forgive me! These past few months, I have traveled through more than half of Dragon Island and have also exchanged for some rare materials from quite a few fellow Daoists; the harvest can be said to be very huge. But if you say there is something that can be mentioned in the same breath as the True Soul Pill, I truly haven't seen even one. Hence, I am also very interested in what Senior has brought out," Han Li replied very calmly.

The golden-robed old man opposite was none other than the Great Elder Jin of the True Dragon Race.

"Hehe, it's natural for you to think this way. Actually, this old man exchanging for this True Soul Pill is of no great use to our True Dragon Race; it is prepared to repay a great favor owed to a certain old friend back then. As for the things used to exchange for the True Soul Pill, they will absolutely satisfy Brother Han. Fan Paozi, take the things out," Elder Jin didn't reveal an unhappy expression upon hearing this, but instead smiled and ordered behind him. (To be continued.
