Chapter 787 Extravagant Acquisitions

“Lead the way ahead,” Shi Chuan Kong said casually.

The green-clad maid hurriedly agreed and led the two to a private room, offering various exotic fruits and fragrant tea for them to enjoy.

"This is the black fruit, a specialty of the Ten Affliction Mountains, and Mist Spring Tea. The taste isn't bad. Fellow Daoist Li, you can try it," Shi Chuan Kong introduced.

Han Li picked up a cup of fragrant tea, white mist swirling around it, took a sip, and nodded.

Just then, the door to the private room opened slightly, and a young woman in a pink dress walked in. She was completely transformed into human form, with a face like a peach blossom and a slender figure, showing no non-human characteristics.

"I apologize for keeping you esteemed guests waiting. I am Meilan, the person in charge of Floating Gold Pavilion." The woman in pink smiled and walked in slowly.

As she walked, pink petals fluttered around her, emitting a fragrance like orchids and musk.

Han Li raised an eyebrow slightly. The pink-clad woman's cultivation was not low, having reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm, only one step away from reaching the Grand Yi realm. Moreover, her true form was probably a tree demon, and the cultivation technique she practiced seemed quite extraordinary.

However, it was strange that someone with such a high level of cultivation was only a small person in charge at Floating Gold Pavilion.

In an instant, he immediately understood that this was probably a business tactic of Floating Gold Pavilion, sending someone with a much higher cultivation level than the customer to receive them, gaining the upper hand in momentum and then guiding them to take the initiative.

However, this kind of trick was naturally useless against Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong. The two sat there steadily, drinking tea, their eyes not even fluttering.

"I wonder what you two esteemed guests are looking to buy at our pavilion?" Seeing the expressions of the two, Meilan was secretly surprised, but her face remained unchanged as she sat down opposite them and said.

"I heard that Floating Gold Pavilion is one of the largest shops in Black Weasel City, so I came here with admiration. I have a big business to do with your pavilion. This is a deposit. Please accept it first, Manager Meilan," Shi Chuan Kong said leisurely, put down his teacup, flipped his hand, took out a storage bracelet, and threw it over.

Meilan was stunned when she heard this, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes, but she still took the bracelet.

Her divine sense probed into it, and a look of shock immediately appeared on her face.

Inside the storage bracelet were fifty thousand magic essence stones, neatly stacked there, giving people a strong shock.

"It is Floating Gold Pavilion's honor to be favored by you two esteemed guests. May I ask what kind of big business you are referring to?" Meilan immediately realized her gaffe, hurriedly restrained her expression, and reluctantly put down the storage bracelet.

Han Li saw this scene and a smile flashed in his eyes.

Meilan originally wanted to intimidate the two with her powerful cultivation, but Shi Chuan Kong used the same trick to retaliate, throwing out a large sum of money to take the lead.

The two had already had a contest between them in this silent exchange, and Shi Chuan Kong had subtly gained the upper hand.

As expected of someone from Guangyuan斋, he was well-versed in business.

"We came here this time to buy a batch of high-grade Ziyang Warm Jade," Shi Chuan Kong said without beating around the bush.

"Ziyang Warm Jade?" Meilan's face changed slightly when she heard this, and then she fell silent.

"What? Is your pavilion not interested in this business?" Shi Chuan Kong said with a slightly sinking expression.

"Esteemed guests, don't misunderstand. We naturally want to do this business, but the supply of Ziyang Warm Jade is scarce. Not to mention high-grade Ziyang Warm Jade, we don't even have medium-grade," Meilan said with a look of difficulty.

"I know this treasure is scarce. How about this, no matter what the market price of Ziyang Warm Jade is, we are willing to add 30%, but the goods must be good," Shi Chuan Kong pondered slightly and tapped the table with his finger.

"You are too polite. I am not taking the opportunity to raise the price. What I just said is the truth. You two esteemed guests are probably not locals of Black Weasel City, right? To be blunt, you don't know much about the situation of Ziyang Warm Jade. It is true that Ziyang Warm Jade is produced in this city, but the output of this jade is very small, and most of it is controlled by the Black Weasel King. Only a small part will flow to the outside. Although our pavilion is one of the largest shops in Black Weasel City, we only have a very small amount of Ziyang Warm Jade in our pavilion, and they are all low-grade," Meilan said with a wry smile.

Han Li and Shi Chuan Kong's faces sank when they heard this.

"In this case, your pavilion has no solution?" Shi Chuan Kong said slowly after a moment of silence.

"I'm really sorry. If it were other goods, it would be easy to say, but for Ziyang Warm Jade, our pavilion is really powerless. Please forgive us," Meilan said with a sigh.

"In that case, we won't force it," Shi Chuan Kong said, taking back the storage bracelet.

Meilan watched helplessly as the storage bracelet was taken back, and sighed secretly.

"Manager Meilan, you just said that your pavilion has some low-grade Ziyang Warm Jade, why don't you take it out and let us take a look?" Han Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Okay, please wait a moment, I'll go get it." Meilan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she immediately stood up and walked out quickly.

"Fellow Daoist Shi, do you think what Meilan said is true?" After Meilan left, Han Li waved his hand and set up a soundproof barrier around the two of them and asked.

"When I was talking to this woman just now, I secretly used a Heart-Clearing Secret Technique. This technique can detect the truth of what the other party is saying to a certain extent. According to the situation of the secret technique, this woman should not be lying," Shi Chuan Kong said.

"In that case, it will probably be difficult for us to buy high-grade Ziyang Warm Jade," Han Li said with a frown.

"Do your best and leave the rest to fate. If we really can't buy it, there's nothing we can do. Ziyang Warm Jade is divided into three grades: low-grade, medium-grade, and high-grade. There is a big difference between them. The effect of low-grade Ziyang Warm Jade on benefiting the divine soul is average. There's not much use even if we buy it," Shi Chuan Kong said indifferently, seeming not to care too much.

"Whether it's high-grade or low-grade, since this thing may be useful to Ti Hun, we can't miss it," Han Li said lightly.

Ziyang Warm Jade is related to Ti Hun's recovery, so we must buy it no matter what.

Shi Chuan Kong smiled and said nothing.

The two did not speak again, as if they were both considering something.

A moment later, a burst of footsteps came from outside.

Han Li waved his hand, removed the surrounding restrictions, the door of the private room was pushed open, and Meilan walked in, holding a purple square jade box in her hand.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting. These are all the Ziyang Warm Jade in our pavilion. Please take a look." Meilan put the jade box in front of Han Li.

Han Li opened the jade box, inside were twenty or thirty fist-sized purple crystals, emitting a faint mist of purple light, looking extremely beautiful.

However, these crystals occasionally had some flaws, which spoiled the overall feeling and made the purple light emitted by the crystals impure.

He picked up a purple crystal, and felt a warmth to the touch, and a heat passed through his body to his mind, wrapping his divine soul.

His divine soul was immediately like a warm spring breeze, feeling extremely comfortable.

He was overjoyed. This Ziyang Warm Jade really had a beneficial effect on the divine soul and should be effective for Ti Hun.

"Although these Ziyang Warm Jade are low-grade, they are still very good. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?" Meilan looked at Han Li holding a piece of Ziyang Warm Jade, not speaking for a long time, looking like he was in a daze, and couldn't help but ask.

"How are these Ziyang Warm Jade sold?" Han Li put the Ziyang Warm Jade back into the jade box and asked indifferently.

Meilan glanced at Han Li, secretly pondered for a moment, and quoted a price that was 10% higher than the market price.

"Deal." Han Li heard the price and was still within his expected range, so he was too lazy to bargain and nodded in agreement.

Han Li killed Tie Yu and others, and collected their storage magical items. Now the number of magic essence stones on his body was considerable, and this bit of magic essence stone was nothing to him.

He flipped his hand and put away the purple jade box, then took out a storage ring and handed it to Meilan.

"Thank you for your patronage." Meilan's divine sense swept through the storage ring, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.

With the transaction completed, Han Li and the other did not stay here any longer and soon bid farewell and left.

Meilan personally sent the two out of the Floating Gold Pavilion gate, fulfilling her duty, and then returned.

"Two seniors, is everything going well?" Lu Xie had been waiting by the roadside, and when he saw the two come out, he immediately greeted them.

"There are some things you shouldn't ask. Don't be talkative. Just focus on leading the way and go to the next shop," Shi Chuan Kong glanced at him and ordered in a slightly cold voice.

"Yes." Lu Xie's body shivered, and he hurriedly agreed. Then he stopped asking questions and drove the beast cart with the two, and soon stopped in front of a tall tower building shop.

Han Li and the two got out of the beast cart and walked straight into the tower building shop. Half an hour later, they walked out again.

"Go to the next one," Han Li ordered lightly.

In this way, the two ran to six or seven large shops before dark, and swept away their inventory of Ziyang Warm Jade.

After nightfall, in a room in an inn in the city.

Han Li waved his hands and pinched the magic formula, and a row of array flags flew out of his sleeves, falling in various places in the room, and opened several layers of restriction light curtains, covering the entire room.

After doing this, his face relaxed, and a silver light flashed in his hand, and a silver light door appeared.

Han Li stepped into it and entered the Flower Branch Space.

In the pavilion in the Flower Branch Space, Ti Hun was lying on a bed, still unconscious.

At this moment, she looked pale, and her cheeks had a faint sense of transparency. From time to time, strands of black air floated out of her body and dissipated in the air.

Han Li's face changed slightly when he saw Ti Hun like this.

Ti Hun's appearance was much worse than when he came in to check a few days ago, and the speed at which the vitality in her body dissipated had accelerated a lot.

He then took a deep breath, and his expression returned to calm, and waved his hand towards the table next to him.

A piece of green light flashed, and five or six large and small jade boxes appeared out of thin air on the table, filled with Ziyang Warm Jade, a total of more than two hundred pieces.

These Ziyang Warm Jade are all low-grade, and there is no medium-grade.

Although he didn't buy medium-grade Ziyang Warm Jade, so many low-grade ones should also have some effect.

However, such a sweeping purchase of Ziyang Warm Jade may have already attracted the attention of some well-informed people in Black Weasel City.

Fortunately, Black Weasel City has a thriving trade, and there are many foreign merchants coming and going. There are also many merchants like them, and the two are not very conspicuous.

However, he and Shi Chuan Kong have already discussed that they will stay for one more day tomorrow to buy Ziyang Warm Jade. No matter what the result is, they will leave this place immediately to avoid causing unnecessary trouble.
