Chapter 937

"Hehe, it is rare for Brother Wang to show your face. I thought you would continue to cultivate the 'Turtle Spirit Technique' in seclusion this time. How would I dare to disturb your quiet cultivation, Brother Wang?" The old man surnamed Fu seemed to have known the silver-robed cultivator for a long time and greeted him very familiarly.

"I can only stop at the seventh layer of the Turtle Spirit Technique; I estimate that I have no hope of advancing to the mid-stage of Nascent Soul in this lifetime. It was just that I heard from Deacon Zhao that a fellow Daoist suspected to be at the mid-stage of Nascent Soul had come to the pavilion and wanted to buy the Heavenly Mystery Mansion that our pavilion has placed for hundreds of years. Plus, Brother Fu has also graced our pavilion with your presence, so how could I not come out to meet you?" The silver-robed cultivator was over fifty years old. After his gaze swept over Han Li, he smiled and cupped his hands in a salute.

Hearing what the other party said, how could Han Li not know that the other party was the Elder Wang that the white-robed middle-aged man mentioned just now? And after a sweep of his spiritual sense, he already saw that the other party was an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, but the other party's face was strangely pale, obviously because the cultivation technique he practiced was somewhat special.

"Brother Wang is too polite. I have also long heard of the great name of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, which is why I visited your pavilion." Han Li revealed a smile and returned the salute.

"Fellow Daoist Han wants to exchange for a Heavenly Mystery Mansion? Tsk tsk, you are truly worthy of being an overseas cultivator, Fellow Daoist. Your handwriting is truly not small. It seems the saying that there are many treasures overseas is really not false." The old man surnamed Fu was somewhat surprised upon hearing this.

"There are indeed some rare materials overseas, but how can they compare to the vastness and abundance of the inland? You two fellow Daoists are truly joking." Han Li said noncommittally.

But these words of Han Li naturally could not make these two Nascent Soul cultivators believe anything, but it was also not good for them to continue probing about overseas matters. Otherwise, if they were misunderstood by a high-tier cultivator like Han Li as having covetous intentions, that would not be a small matter.

At this time, the middle-aged man surnamed Zhao, who was following behind the silver-robed cultivator, stepped forward a few steps and placed the two jade boxes, one large and one small, on the table in front of Han Li, then tactfully retreated to the side. He knew very well that now that Elder Wang of the pavilion had come forward, there was naturally no need for him to say anything more.

"Since you are interested in our pavilion's Heavenly Mystery Mansion, I have brought this item and Fellow Daoist Fu's Thunder Spirit Stone together so that you can take a look first." Elder Wang pointed at the slightly larger jade box and said politely.

"Brother Wang, you should give the Heavenly Mystery Mansion to Brother Han later. Let me and Fellow Daoist Han complete the transaction first." The old man surnamed Fu grinned and said first.

"I didn't expect Brother Fu to be so impatient. That's fine, Brother Fu, you go first. I am also very interested in what kind of treasure Fellow Daoist Han can bring out to exchange for your Thunder Spirit Crystal." Elder Wang laughed dumbly and said.

Hearing both of them say such words, Han Li laughed freely, patted his storage bag, and then flipped his palm. A jade-green wooden box the size of a palm appeared in his hand, with two gold and silver talismans pasted on it.

Seeing the wooden box looking so solemn, the old man surnamed Fu couldn't help but brighten his eyes.

Han Li placed the wooden box on the table, then pushed it, and the box slid silently to the old man's front.

The old man surnamed Fu's spirit lifted. Then he brushed his sleeve across the table, and the smaller jade box was also steadily sent to Han Li's side.

Han Li revealed a look of satisfaction, reached out to take the jade box into his hand, and then lowered his head slightly to open the lid.

A cluster of silver-white light bloomed in the box.

Blue light flashed in Han Li's pupils, and he immediately saw clearly the object in the silver light: a silver-white stone the size of a fist.

Han Li examined this object for a long time, then suddenly extended a finger. Spiritual light flashed at the tip of his finger, and a wisp of green light, stretching and contracting, appeared and disappeared.

With a flick of his wrist, the green light flashed and pierced straight toward the silver stone in the box.

As a result, as soon as the green light touched the object in the box, a thunderclap suddenly sounded, and then several slender silver arcs surged out from the stone, actually blocking the green light at once.

"Hmm, it is indeed a Thunder Spirit Crystal. It's just that the quality of this spirit crystal seems to be only average, which is a bit of a pity. But I can make do with it." Han Li exhaled lightly, raised his head, and said solemnly to the red-faced old man.

"Where is it so easy to get a top-grade Thunder Spirit Crystal? This piece of spirit crystal was discovered by me by chance from the belly of a rare thunder-attribute demon beast after much hardship." The old man surnamed Fu had also finished identifying the Red Essence Ganoderma in Han Li's wooden box, but his face was full of satisfaction and joy, seemingly extremely satisfied with Han Li's Red Essence Ganoderma.

"But this Red Essence Ganoderma of mine has not a trace of chaotic spiritual energy; it is absolutely a top-grade spirit medicine." Han Li replied calmly.

Although he would not let go of this Thunder Spirit Crystal, he naturally would not agree to the transaction directly while suffering such a loss.

"That is also true. In terms of value alone, my Thunder Spirit Crystal is indeed slightly inferior to Brother Han's top-grade Red Essence Ganoderma. How about this, I will offer another 30,000 spirit stones as compensation." The red-faced old man was also straightforward; he did not deliberately cover up the gap between the two and immediately offered his conditions.

"Fellow Daoist, don't be impatient. Take a look at this list of mine first to see if you can provide other materials or know the news of some of them. If I gain something, I don't need these spirit stones." Han Li smiled, calmly placed the jade box back on the table, but raised his hand to take out the jade slip recording the required materials and threw it to the old man.

"Brother Han still needs other materials?" The old man surnamed Fu revealed a look of surprise, but took the jade slip without much thought and read it quickly.

At this time, Elder Wang on the side looked at the Red Essence Ganoderma in the old man surnamed Fu's hand, his gaze flickered a few times, and he fell into deep thought.

A moment later, the old man surnamed Fu finished reading the jade slip, looked at Han Li with a strange expression, and even revealed a trace of hesitation in his eyes.

"I am afraid I will disappoint you, Fellow Daoist. These materials are too rare; I don't have any of them. However, I might be able to point you to a simple place to obtain these materials." After hesitating for a while, the old man finally said with determination.

"Pointing to a path? Fellow Daoist, you don't mean the big auction in a few days, do you?" Han Li rolled his eyes and said with a smile that was not a smile.

"Haha, you can indeed buy ordinary materials at the big auction. But for things of this tier that you need, Fellow Daoist, the probability of them appearing is very small. After all, fellow Daoists who possess such rare materials are the same as you and me; most of them want to barter." The red-faced old man laughed and said disdainfully.

"Oh, listening to your tone, could it be that there is some other private trading assembly?" Han Li was startled, then overjoyed inwardly. He couldn't help but ask.

A trace of strangeness appeared on the red-faced old man's face. Suddenly, his lips parted slightly, but not a sound was emitted, while Han Li's ears suddenly heard the old man's voice.

"Brother Han is truly a smart person. However, this cannot be considered a private trading assembly. The Jin Capital auction, which is held every ten years, has naturally been divided into light and dark sessions for many years. The light one is naturally the trading assembly held by the marketplace supported by the righteous path, which ordinary cultivators will know. The dark one is the underground trading assembly hosted by the demonic evil sects. In the underground trading assembly, ordinary items are naturally still auctioned with spirit stones, but for materials of the tier you need, Fellow Daoist, most of them are bartered. However, because many items sold in the underground trading assembly are strictly prohibited by the cultivation world, fundamentally speaking, they are still somewhat unsightly. Therefore, generally, only cultivators who know the roots and bottoms can participate in this trading assembly. You are an overseas loose cultivator, Fellow Daoist, so I am afraid it is somewhat inconvenient. But if you agree to the transaction in front of us, Fellow Daoist, I am willing to be your introducer. I believe you will definitely gain a lot in the underground trading assembly, Fellow Daoist." The old man said a lot of words in one breath, then stared at Han Li with a solemn face, waiting for his reply.

"So that's how it is. May I ask Brother Fu, are these two light and dark trading assemblies held at the same time? Although I really want to participate in the underground trading assembly, I also don't want to miss the big auction." Han Li frowned and thought for a while before asking carefully.

"This is simple. Although both are held at the same time, the auction and exchange of the rarest materials at the back are deliberately staggered by one day. I believe you will definitely not look down on the ordinary things at the front, so you don't need to worry about missing anything." The old man replied with confidence.

"Since that is the case, I will follow your words, Fellow Daoist. I am indeed very interested in this underground trading assembly." Han Li was also a decisive person and agreed without further consideration.

"Good, I knew Brother Han was a straightforward person. On the last day of the big auction, come to wait for me in front of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion, Fellow Daoist." Seeing that he could save tens of thousands of spirit stones in the blink of an eye, the old man surnamed Fu was also overjoyed and said.

This time, the words were not transmitted, which made the silver-robed cultivator who was watching the two transmit the transaction feel moved inwardly, but he smiled on the surface without revealing any abnormalities.

Until Han Li and the old man had separately put away the Thunder Spirit Crystal and the Red Essence Ganoderma, he then opened his mouth with a smile:

"Congratulations to the two fellow Daoists for gaining something. Brother Han, do you still intend to see our pavilion's Heavenly Mystery Mansion later? However, a thousand-year-old Red Essence Ganoderma is far from enough to exchange for this treasure of our pavilion." Although he spoke extremely politely, in a few sentences, he vaguely pointed out the approximate value of the Heavenly Mystery Mansion.

"It doesn't matter, as long as this item can truly satisfy me, I will not be stingy." Han Li smiled faintly and said indifferently.

"Since Brother Han has said so, I also believe that with your family background, Brother Han, it should not be a problem to take down this Heavenly Mystery Mansion. Please follow me to the mustard space specially made by our pavilion to see the restored Heavenly Mystery Mansion, Fellow Daoist." Hearing Han Li's not-so-small tone, Elder Wang's smile became even wider.

"Mustard space?" Han Li felt a shock in his heart, and a look of surprise couldn't help but appear on his face.

"What, you haven't heard of the Sumeru space, Fellow Daoist? By the way, I almost forgot, this secret technique that can refine space rifts into private spaces has only been researched in the Great Jin in the last thousand years. You come from overseas, so it is not strange that you don't know." Elder Wang patted the back of his head and suddenly realized.
