Looking at Han Li effortlessly creating a giant pit about an acre in size in a remote cave dwelling area with a wave of his hand, and placing the spiritual field he was holding into it, Luo Jun exhaled and then burst into laughter:

"Haha, Fellow Daoist Han's divine power is astonishing, far beyond my expectations! It is indeed better to see once than to hear a hundred times. Luo is impressed!"

"Fellow Daoist Luo is too kind. Now that the test is over, can we talk about the real business?" Hearing the other party's praise, Han Li asked back with a faint smile.

"Ahem! Fellow Daoist Han is joking, how could Luo have such thoughts? By the way, becoming an Honorary Elder of this sect doesn't actually require doing anything. The sect will issue 50,000 spiritual stones and some pills every year for cultivation. However, the distribution time for this year's pills has passed, so you'll have to wait until next year to collect them. This is your token, which contains a map of the sect and a brief introduction to each peak. Also, this is this year's offering, a total of 80,000 spiritual stones. The extra 30,000 is a small token of appreciation from Peak Lord Nangong." Luo Jun said with an awkward smile, changing the subject as he took out a golden token and a cyan storage bag from his pocket, handing them to Han Li.

Hearing this, Gu Yunyue looked at Han Li with a complex expression. What Elder Luo had just said was the kind of treatment only granted to Nascent Soul stage elders in the sect.

Judging from Han Li's performance along the way, he certainly had the qualifications.

"Thank you. I wonder if the sect distributes the Hope Rhino Pill every year, or if there are other ways to obtain it?" Han Li thanked him, accepted the token and spiritual stones, and then asked casually.

"Oh, the Hope Rhino Pill is occasionally distributed within the sect. Although the healing effect is remarkable, it doesn't really help with cultivation, so some people will take it out to trade in the sect's market. However, they are usually quickly exchanged for something else, so it's not easy to get." Luo Jun replied with great familiarity.

"It seems I can only try my luck." Han Li said thoughtfully.

Luo Jun didn't stay long. After chatting for a few more words, he left with Gu Yunyue and Yu Menghan.

In the following time, Han Li activated all the restrictions in the cave dwelling area. Then, he took Liu Le'er for a walk in the cave dwelling, arranged a bedroom for her, let her rest well, and then left the cave dwelling.

After about an incense stick of time, Han Li's figure appeared outside a valley a few miles away from Chuyun Peak.

A white stone archway stood at the entrance of the valley, with three vermillion characters "Tong Yi Valley" engraved on it. Below the archway, a wide bluestone street followed the trend of the valley, extending into it.

This Tong Yi Valley was the sect's market that Luo Jun had mentioned earlier. Before even entering the valley, the noisy sounds of a secular market reached his ears.

Han Li paused slightly at the entrance of the valley, then lifted his foot and walked forward. When he came under the archway, most of the scene inside the valley came into view.

The street here generally sloped upwards. Shops were lined up on both sides, and the houses were well-arranged. All the shops were built according to the mountain's terrain, and were hung full of various banners and flags, looking just like a bustling secular market.

It was early afternoon, and the place was bustling with people, entering and exiting various shops, which was quite lively.

Han Li casually picked a pill shop that looked quite grand and walked in. As a result, he walked out expressionlessly after only a moment and continued towards the next shop.

After visiting five or six large pill shops in a row, he didn't even see a shadow of the Hope Rhino Pill. He only learned in one of the shops that the most recent one they had received was two months ago, and it was exchanged on the day it was put on the shelves.

As a result, after spending half a day, Han Li had almost walked through most of Tong Yi Valley, but still got nothing.

After coming out of a small shop, Han Li didn't continue to head towards the back of the valley, but walked unhurriedly towards a remote corner. After walking halfway, he suddenly turned around and said coldly towards a large tree not far away:

"You've been following me for half a day since I entered the valley. Do you have any advice?"

"Fellow Daoist, don't be angry. Misunderstanding, misunderstanding." A dry laugh rang out from behind the tree, and an old man in a gray robe walked around the tree trunk and stood in front of Han Li.

The man had white beard and eyebrows, and a face like a child. His face was full of energy, and he looked a bit otherworldly.

"Misunderstanding?" Han Li said expressionlessly, sensing the other party's Nascent Soul stage cultivation.

The white-bearded old man's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "I am Gao Bulin, an elder of Luoxia Peak. I accidentally discovered that Fellow Daoist has been searching for the Hope Rhino Pill, so I followed a few steps."

"Luoxia Peak? If I remember correctly, that's the branch in the sect that specializes in alchemy. Does that mean you have the Hope Rhino Pill?" Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly and asked.

"Hehe, I do have a Hope Rhino Pill in my hand, and I also intend to trade it with someone, but I don't know if Fellow Daoist has what I need?" Gao Bulin glanced at the storage bag around Han Li's waist and said with a smile.

"I wonder what Elder Gao needs in exchange?" Han Li asked calmly.

"No rush, I don't know how to address you?" Gao Bulin didn't rush to quote a price, but asked instead.

"I am Han Li, an Honorary Elder of Chuyun Peak. Now, Elder Gao, can you tell me what you need in exchange?" Han Li asked calmly.

"Honorary Elder of Chuyun Peak? Fellow Daoist's supernatural powers are amazing! I can't even see Fellow Daoist's cultivation level! But that's all a small matter. Hanyin Black Water, Lanjing Mingsha, Tianhe Star Stone, or Lanhua or Moxiang Grass that are more than three thousand years old… I wonder if Fellow Daoist Han has any of these materials? As long as you have any one of them, you can exchange it for the Hope Rhino Pill in my hand." Gao Bulin stroked his beard and said.

"Elder Gao must be joking, right? Which of these materials isn't an extremely rare spiritual material? If you had these things, would you be willing to use them to exchange for the Hope Rhino Pill?" Han Li asked back with a sinking expression.

The white-bearded old man froze upon hearing this, and immediately showed an awkward expression, without saying anything.

"Fellow Daoist, please say something more realistic, otherwise I can buy it with spiritual stones." Han Li continued.

Although he didn't gain anything just now, he sold some of the materials and pills he had obtained earlier in small quantities, exchanging them for a lot of spiritual stones. In addition to the ones Luo Jun gave him earlier, he had accumulated a considerable fortune. Of course, the few top-grade spiritual stones he had obtained earlier were not included.

"Alright, since Fellow Daoist Han has said so, then let's trade with spiritual stones, just to make friends with Fellow Daoist Han. One Hope Rhino Pill in exchange for two top-grade spiritual stones, how about it?" Gao Bulin pondered for a moment, sighed and said.

"Elder Gao, aren't you being too greedy? Even if the Hope Rhino Pill is rare in this market, the highest price shouldn't exceed 600,000 spiritual stones, right?" Han Li frowned, looking a little unhappy.

"I don't think it's excessive. After all, this is the price in this sect's market. If it were taken outside for exchange and auction, it would be hard to find at any price." Gao Bulin said unhurriedly.

"How about this, although I don't have the spiritual materials you want, I have some other good things in my hand. I wonder if you are interested?" Han Li pondered for a moment and said.

"Other things? Fellow Daoist Han, if they are ordinary magic treasures or something, you don't need to take them out. It's more convenient to settle with spiritual stones." Gao Bulin said with a smile.

"Azure Nether Crystal, Myriad Yin Trapping Spirit Array diagram, Soul Yin Mushroom, I wonder if these things are considered ordinary?" Han Li asked.

These things were all obtained from the storage bag of that Lu surnamed Nascent Soul cultivator from the Heavenly Ghost Sect earlier. They were of a high grade, but they were of no use to him.

The old man showed a hesitant expression. After a long while, he seemed to say with some reluctance: "Let's forget about the first two things, the Soul Yin Mushroom is somewhat useful. However, it must be at least a thousand years old, plus 300,000 spiritual stones, and the Hope Rhino Pill will be Fellow Daoist's."

Hearing this, Han Li turned around and left without the slightest hesitation.

"Fellow Daoist Han, please wait!"

Seeing Han Li suddenly turn around and leave, Gao Bulin immediately lost his previous calm appearance and hurriedly called out.

Of course, Han Li wasn't really going to leave. He took a few steps forward, and when he heard him call out, he stopped conveniently, but didn't rush to go back, just turned around and stood in place looking at the old man.

Gao Bulin took two steps at a time and walked up to him, saying with a smile: "Fellow Daoist Han, don't rush to leave. The price is still negotiable, but I wonder if Fellow Daoist can let me take a look at the Soul Yin Mushroom in your hand first?"

Han Li didn't say much. With a flip of his hand, a half-foot-long wooden box appeared in his hand, and then he opened the lid of the box a little bit. Gao Bulin released his divine sense and quickly swept it over. His eyebrows couldn't help but twitch, and then he quickly returned to calm.
