Chapter 375: Snow Spirit Water and Heaven Fire Liquid

When the two women and the three male cultivators who were following closely entered a nearby shop, the figures of Han Li and Qu Hun turned out from behind another house.

Looking at the shop the two women entered, Han Li revealed a thoughtful gaze.

After watching for a while, he took Qu Hun and walked toward other streets.

The streets here looked no different from the mortal shops outside at first glance. Similarly, rows of square houses of similar size were lined up on both sides of the street. The plaques and flags hanging outside the shops were written with various names such as Wu Family Sundry Shop, Chen's Magic Tool Shop, Five Elements Refining Shop, Huo Yang Raw Materials... and so on.

Han Li did not enter these shops, but walked straight toward the center of Heaven Capital Street along the street.

Because according to Han Li's past experience, those large shops with strength would definitely be in the best locations, which should be below the "Cloud Dream Pavilion." And Han Li also wanted to get closer to see what other wonders this pavilion in the air had.

Thinking this way, Han Li couldn't help but quicken his pace a little.

And at this moment, some cultivators coming and going on the street were drilling in and out of various shops from time to time, and the entire Heaven Capital Street seemed to have quite a few cultivators.

After walking for hundreds of zhang, Han Li knew he had found the right place.

Because it suddenly brightened in front of him, and a small square of several mu appeared.

This square was paved with clean, white, long-strip beautiful jade, appearing exceptionally exquisite and gorgeous. And there was nothing in the middle of the square, only the Cloud Dream Pavilion floating in mid-air. Only at this time, the pavilion in the air looked at from afar had its main gate closed tightly, without any intention of receiving guests or letting people in.

And around this not-so-large square stood six small palace pavilions with different styles, and the distance between each pavilion was equal, actually faintly presenting a confrontation. Apart from these six shops, no other shops dared to set foot in this square.

Seeing this situation, Han Li stared carefully at the pavilion in the air for a while, then cast his gaze on these six palace pavilions on the ground.

"Mountain Sea Pavilion, White Water Tower, Jade Ring Residence..." Han Li muttered to himself, reading the names of these six shops, while constantly observing the situation of cultivators entering and leaving the nearby palace pavilions, wanting to choose a palace pavilion with the most popularity to enter.

But after a while, Han Li frowned and couldn't help but secretly slander a few times.

It turned out that the number of people entering and leaving the six small palaces was almost the same, and most people turned around all six palace pavilions one by one before leaving reluctantly or excitedly.

Depressed, Han Li couldn't help but focus his gaze and re-examine the six palace pavilions.

Only then did he discover the trick in it; the flags hanging outside the six palace pavilions actually had deep meanings embroidered on them.

The flag of the Mountain Sea Pavilion was embroidered with a blue monster, the White Water Tower had a small golden sword, and the Jade Ring Residence had a green spiritual mushroom...

Seeing this, Han Li faintly felt that he seemed to have made a mistake.

In order to verify whether what he thought was correct, Han Li thought for a while and walked toward the White Water Tower, which was closest to him, and Qu Hun naturally followed him silently.

As soon as he entered the main hall of the White Water Tower, it was not small, about twenty or thirty zhang in length and width.

All around were rows of shelves carved from white jade, on which were placed various magic tools flashing with light, with nearly a hundred pieces. However, Han Li swept his gaze and knew that even the best of these things were only upper-tier magic tools, which couldn't enter his eyes at all.

And in front of each shelf, there were four or five green-clothed shop assistants, greeting seven or eight cultivators who were picking and recommending some of the magic tools.

However, as soon as Han Li and Qu Hun entered, a sharp-eyed green-clothed shop assistant saw Qu Hun's Foundation Establishment stage cultivator identity. Although he couldn't sense Qu Hun's exact level, his eyes lit up and he walked over immediately.

After bowing deeply to Qu Hun, this person asked cleverly:

"This Senior, do you want any magic tools? I think ordinary magic tools must not enter your eyes, Senior. Why don't you follow this humble one to the side hall, and let the shopkeeper take out some newly arrived top-tier magic tools for you to see, Senior?"

Hearing such exquisite and transparent words, Han Li smiled freely and said nothing, but Qu Hun said coldly:

"Lead the way, let's take a look for now!"

Hearing Qu Hun's tone so arrogant, this shop assistant was even happier.

He invited Han Li to the side hall with a full face of smiles, and then retired to invite the shopkeeper.

But just as he left, a beautiful maidservant entered and served Han Li two cups of fragrant clear tea, then retired silently.

Han Li didn't stand on ceremony and began to sip the tea. After a while, a middle-aged man with an ancient appearance and a three-strand long beard walked in.

This person's expression was smiling when he first came in, but after seeing Qu Hun's cultivation base clearly, he was startled and immediately cupped his hands to Qu Hun:

"I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist had actually reached the False Core stage; it is truly gratifying! This humble one is Cao Lu, the shopkeeper here. I wish Fellow Daoist success in forming the core as soon as possible!"

He said these words with a solemn and serious expression, which made Han Li stunned!

But his mind turned extremely fast, and he immediately understood that the False Core stage the other party mentioned should refer to the fact that Qu Hun's cultivation base had reached the peak of the Foundation Establishment stage, so he let Qu Hun stand up and go with the flow:

"Fellow Daoist is joking; how could forming the core be such an easy thing? But this time, Qu is indeed here to prepare for the sprint to Core Formation. But Qu is new to Heaven Capital Street and truly doesn't know where to buy 'Snow Spirit Water' and 'Heaven Fire Liquid' needed for Core Formation, so I hope Fellow Daoist Cao can give some guidance!"

Qu Hun spoke very politely, because this middle-aged man with an ancient appearance in front of him was also a Foundation Establishment mid-stage cultivator.

"Hehe, this is easy to say! We Six Paths Hall are all in the same boat, so this humble one will contact Fellow Daoist Master Ouyang of 'Jade Ring Residence' for you right now. If there are these things, I will let him send them to you immediately." This shopkeeper Cao agreed without hesitation, and without any delay, took out a sound-transmission talisman, whispered a few words, and threw it out as a red light.

Next, this shopkeeper Cao chatted enthusiastically with Qu Hun and inadvertently wanted to inquire about Qu Hun's background and sect.

But how could Han Li reveal these things in front of a stranger he had just met for a moment? He only manipulated Qu Hun to say vaguely that he was a cultivator who had just arrived from outside to Kuixing Island, and because he happened to meet his nephew-disciple Han Li, he planned to live on Kuixing Island for a period of time.

Hearing this, this big shopkeeper Cao became even more smiling, and his enthusiasm made Han Li feel somewhat overwhelmed.

Just as Han Li was secretly suspicious in his heart, pondering what the other party's intention was, a man in a light green robe with a bearded face walked into the side hall.

This person had a purple-red face, a sturdy and tall figure, and was exceptionally fierce!

"Fellow Daoist Cao, why do you suddenly want Snow Spirit Water and Heaven Fire Liquid? Could it be that someone is forming a core?" The big man laughed boldly as soon as he entered the room, but after sweeping his gaze over Han Li, he stared at Qu Hun.

This person's act of asking while knowing the answer made Han Li frown secretly. He knew that this person was definitely not as bold and straightforward as he appeared, but rather very deep and calculating.

After feeling a chill in his heart, he became a bit more careful toward this person.

Of course, Han Li and Qu Hun still maintained their usual expressions, even with a hint of a smile.

"Hehe, Fellow Daoist Master Ouyang, let me introduce you. This is Fellow Daoist Qu, who has just arrived on our Kuixing Island, and this is Fellow Daoist Qu's nephew-disciple, Fellow Daoist Han, who has already settled on our Kuixing Island. It is Fellow Daoist Qu who has reached the False Core stage and wants to sprint to Core Formation." Shopkeeper Cao pointed to Qu Hun and Han Li and said with a smile.

"Haha, then this humble one congratulates Fellow Daoist Qu! If Fellow Daoist can successfully form the core, our Chaotic Star Sea will have another pillar!" The bearded big man grinned, equally enthusiastic.

But he immediately remembered something, slapped the back of his head, and said with a somewhat embarrassed expression:

"Look at my brain, I forgot that Fellow Daoist Qu must be anxious about the Snow Spirit Water and Heaven Fire Liquid. But Fellow Daoist, rest assured, I have brought both of these things, and they are enough for two people to form a core." The bearded big man said this, took out two jade boxes emitting yellow light from his robes, and placed them on the table in front of Han Li.

"These two boxes containing spiritual items are carved from deep-sea extreme jade of the earth attribute and can be considered a rare treasure. But compared to the value of these two spiritual items, they are naturally incomparable!" Although the bearded big man spoke as if he didn't care, Han Li heard a hint of self-satisfaction from it.

"Truly have to trouble Fellow Daoist!" Qu Hun thanked him without changing his expression, then carefully opened the two jade boxes one by one.

He saw that one box contained a group of transparent, water-like liquid, and as soon as the lid was opened, a burst of strange cold yin energy rushed toward Qu Hun's face. The other box was the opposite, a group of scarlet liquid that looked like fire, appearing exceptionally scorching.

Qu Hun observed carefully for a long time before closing the lids with satisfaction, raising his head and asking the bearded big man calmly:

"These two things, I don't know how many spirit stones you need, Fellow Daoist, before you are willing to part with them?"

Although "Snow Spirit Water" and "Heaven Fire Liquid" were not as rare as thousand-year spiritual herbs, they were also spiritual items hard to find in the world, and they were items that must be taken to assist in Core Formation and increase the success rate of Core Formation. Han Li naturally had to obtain them.
