Chapter 906: Fire Melting Crystal

In the Heavenly Mystery House, Han Li saw that the Soul-Devouring Beast didn't seem to be able to swallow the corpse fire for a while, so after pondering, he finally collected the Soul-Devouring Beast along with the Vajra shield into the spiritual beast bag, walked out, and reduced the stone house to its original size.

Returning to the hall, he returned the Heavenly Mystery House to the middle-aged female cultivator and returned to the square.

It was already afternoon, and the cultivators in the square had suddenly decreased by nearly half, all heading to the other stone hall opposite to participate in the auction.

Han Li didn't hesitate and walked toward the opposite side with a leisurely pace.

Two white-robed cultivators stood at the entrance of the hall. Seeing Han Li coming over, one of them bowed and said:

"This Fellow Daoist, to prevent too many idle people, according to the regulations, you must pay three spirit stones to participate in the auction."

Hearing this, Han Li smiled, reached into his storage bag without a word, and three low-tier spirit stones appeared in his hand, which he handed over.

The two cultivators smiled, took the spirit stones, immediately gave Han Li a jade plate the size of a palm, and cleared the entrance.

Han Li glanced at the jade plate in his hand, and in the center of the jade plate, there was a silver number '243'.

He didn't reveal any surprise on his face and walked in without haste.

After passing through a passage over twenty zhang long, four more cultivators appeared on the opposite side, and behind them was a large door filled with spiritual light. Seeing Han Li coming over, these people observed Han Li for a few glances and then remained expressionless without saying a word.

Han Li didn't pay attention to these people either, walked past, pushed open the door, and entered the main hall.

As soon as he entered the hall, he heard a man's loud voice.

"Five-hundred-year-old Phoenix Tail Flower, seven hundred and ninety spirit stones. Good, no other Fellow Daoists are bidding. This spiritual medicine belongs to this Fellow Daoist. Please, Fellow Daoist 130, go to the back to pay the spirit stones and take the spiritual medicine later."

Only then did Han Li see clearly that the hall was packed with two or three hundred people, and everyone had a jade plate like his on the table in front of them, with faint silver numbers flashing on it, which anyone could see at a glance.

And at the front of the stone hall, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a fierce look on his face was holding an open jade box and speaking loudly.

And in the box was a bright purple spiritual flower.

The person who bought the spiritual medicine in the box was a fat old man sitting in the crowd. Seeing the middle-aged man confirm the auction result, he stood up with a look of joy and walked straight toward a side door, looking impatient.

Han Li looked around calmly and walked toward an empty seat nearby.

The white-as-snow table and chair were like jade but not jade, which aroused Han Li's interest. After sitting down, he touched the white table in front of him, feeling a warm sensation.

"This is..." Han Li pondered for a while about the various jade materials he remembered, but he had never seen this kind of material before, and the corner of his mouth twitched, revealing a trace of surprise.

"Why, is this your first time seeing Warm Stone, Fellow Daoist?" A woman's voice came from the side, seemingly with a hint of a light smile.

"Warm Stone?" Han Li turned his head and looked. Only then did he discover that the cultivators sitting next to him were two young female cultivators with similar appearances, looking like twin sisters.

The two were dressed in yellow and green, not exactly stunning, but they were eye-catching. The one who spoke was the green-robed woman sitting closer to Han Li. Seeing Han Li's silly action of touching the table, she teased him.

"Sister, don't talk nonsense. Fellow Daoist, please don't take offense. My cousin is out for training for the first time; if there is any inappropriate language, I hope you can forgive me," another woman who looked a year older between her eyebrows apologized hurriedly.

Cousin! Not twin sisters, which was somewhat beyond Han Li's expectation, but to be able to successfully establish Foundation at such a young age, the two women's aptitude should be extraordinary.

Thinking this way, Han Li smiled and said nonchalantly:

"It is nothing. I have only heard of 'Warm Jade' before; this is indeed my first time seeing this kind of Warm Stone. Do you know the detailed origin of this thing, Fellow Daoist? This shouldn't be a common material! Otherwise, although I have been cultivating in a remote place, I wouldn't be completely ignorant of it."

"Warm Stone naturally cannot be mentioned in the same breath as Warm Jade. It is not strange that you didn't know about this thing before, Fellow Daoist. Because this kind of strange stone material is a specialty of the Xueling Mountain Range and cannot be seen anywhere else. However, apart from being clean, white, and warm, this material has no special characteristics compared to ordinary stone materials. But in the mortal world, it is naturally a bit more expensive than ordinary jade," the yellow-robed woman explained to Han Li with a smile.

"So that is it. Thank you for your explanation, Fellow Daoist," Han Li nodded with a look of realization, and then sat upright, watching the middle-aged man auction off the next top-tier magic tool.

Han Li's action made the green-robed woman glance with her beautiful eyes, and the corner of her mouth moved slightly, seemingly with some disdain, but she wanted to say something, but after being glared at by her cousin with a majestic look, she had to close her mouth and say nothing.

Han Li ignored all this and watched quietly as one magic tool and spiritual medicine after another were auctioned off.

Although this kind of auction held by local families was certainly not very high-level, and could even be said to be relatively low-level, Han Li was looking forward to understanding the price difference of spiritual medicine and magic tools in Great Jin compared to Tiannan through this auction, so as to prepare for finding rare materials in the future.

After watching coldly for a while, Han Li finally had a count in his heart. It was clear that both spiritual medicine and magic tools in Great Jin were much more expensive than in Tiannan, and even the prices of those slightly rare ones were even more outrageous.

Han Li thought about it for a while and understood.

Although the area of Great Jin was ten times larger than Tiannan, the cultivation system was complete, and the number of cultivators was probably far more than ten times that of Tiannan, which caused the lack of spiritual tools and spiritual medicine to be even more severe than in Tiannan.

However, relatively speaking, Great Jin was still vast and rich in resources, and there were still many rare things that had never been seen in Tiannan or even the Star Fall Continent. Especially some herbal and refining materials, just in this short while, three or four types he didn't know the use of appeared.

This made Han Li feel happy.

It seems that if he runs a few more top-tier markets in Great Jin, it is not impossible to gather the rare materials he needs.

Just as Han Li was pondering, the middle-aged man on the stage suddenly had someone bring out a tray, on which were three deep red crystals. The red light flashing on these crystals was like a fierce burning flame, very eye-catching.

"Three Fire Melting Crystals, excellent materials for refining top-tier fire-attribute magic tools, starting price five hundred spirit stones. Fellow Daoists who are interested can bid," the blue-robed middle-aged man reported the name, use, and price of the items on the tray with a smile.

Han Li glanced at it nonchalantly and intended to withdraw his gaze, but suddenly his eyes froze, and he let out a light "Oh" sound.

"Why, Grandmaster Elder Dayan, you also have times when you look away?" Han Li transmitted his voice to Grandmaster Elder Dayan with his spiritual sense.

"Crystals? I don't believe there is anything wrong with these crystals," Grandmaster Elder Dayan said with some disbelief.

"Actually, this has something to do with the baleful qi on me, Senior. I once personally killed thousands of high-tier monsters, which formed such a thick baleful qi, so I am most sensitive to monster inner cores. As soon as these seventh-level monster inner cores were taken out, the baleful qi on me automatically reacted. Besides, the number of monster inner cores I handled back then was so large that I naturally have some special identification methods," Han Li said leisurely.

"This has something to do with monster inner cores?" Grandmaster Elder Dayan was stunned and asked in astonishment.

If he didn't know that Han Li was not the kind of person who boasted, he would have thought Han Li was not clear-headed.

"However, since you said so, you must have your own reasons. But if there is no convincing reason, I still find it hard to believe that these Fire Melting Crystals have any oddities. You must know that not only did I not see any abnormalities in these crystals, but even the cultivators responsible for identifying materials at the auction are all experienced people, so how could they also be wrong about this not-so-rare material?" Grandmaster Elder Dayan was still somewhat disbelieving.

Hearing Grandmaster Elder Dayan's doubting words, a smile appeared on Han Li's mouth, and he reported a high price again, finally making other competitors stop bidding and automatically retreat.

"Good, eight hundred spirit stones. These three Fire Melting Crystals belong to Fellow Daoist 243. Please, Fellow Daoist, go to the back hall to pay the spirit stones and take the crystals." Seeing that these Fire Melting Crystals sold for a high price, the man was overjoyed, glanced at the number on Han Li's jade plate, and said loudly.

Hearing this, Han Li picked up the jade plate and stood up, walking toward the side door.

A white-robed Qi Refining cultivator was already waiting there. Seeing Han Li coming over, he immediately led Han Li to turn a few corners and sat down in a small hall in the back hall. A moment later, a maid-like female cultivator served a cup of spiritual tea and then left.

Han Li looked at the tea but didn't touch it, instead observing the layout of the hall calmly.

Before long, an old man with deep eyes and a bald head at the Foundation Establishment stage walked in.

"I am ashamed to have kept you waiting for so long, Fellow Daoist. Take a look, Fellow Daoist, is this what you auctioned!" The old man said with a smile as soon as he entered. Then he handed over the jade box that had appeared in the main hall earlier.

Han Li didn't be polite, took it, and opened the lid. Inside was red light, and it was indeed the three flame crystals.

He didn't change his expression, picked up the crystals one by one with his fingers, and checked them carefully for a long time without saying a word.
