Leaving Thousand Herb Hall, Han Li did not rush back to his temporary cave dwelling on Youyang Mountain. Instead, he explored some of the larger-looking shops nearby.

The high-level pills he had purchased earlier had almost emptied his accumulated spirit stones.

And since he would inevitably have expenses in the near future, he considered selling some of the materials and magical items he didn't need at the moment to exchange for some top-grade spirit stones.

After walking for about two streets, he arrived at a main street bustling with people. Han Li saw a tall, independent building occupying the best location on the entire street.

The building was three stories high, built with fire-resistant red bricks. In front of the door stood two golden-lacquered pillars, supporting a hexagonal flying eaves, covered with glazed blue tiles and adorned with golden eave beasts, making it look extremely magnificent.

Above the door, there was a large plaque with a gold border and a red background, with three imposing characters written in gold: "You Bao Zhai."

"You Bao Zhai, Treasure Pavilion..." Han Li murmured the name of the shop, finding it somewhat amusing. He stepped onto the stone steps, crossed the threshold, and entered the shop's hall.

There were many customers inside, gathered in groups of three or five around red wooden counters, pointing and commenting on the various magical items and objects displayed on the shelves behind the counters.

Beside them, there was a person dressed as a blue-robed attendant, either explaining something with a smiling face, or taking a magical item from the shelf and handing it to them for inspection.

Han Li glanced around and noticed that although the magical items and objects displayed on the shelves were not of a high grade, mostly suitable for Transformation Stage cultivators, their quality was considered top-notch within the same grade.

At this moment, a blue-robed attendant noticed him, greeted his familiar customer, and then greeted him with a smiling face, saying:

"What are you looking for, sir? Would you like me to introduce you to something?"

"I'm not buying anything, I'm here to sell things," Han Li said with a smile.

"Oh, is that so? Then please come with me. Our You Bao Zhai's acquisitions are usually handled by Grandmaster Hai and Grandmaster Hu. I'll take you to see them," the blue-robed attendant said, taken aback.

Han Li didn't say anything, just nodded slightly.

Under the guidance of the blue-robed attendant, Han Li went up a winding wooden staircase from the back hall and went straight to the third floor.

The layout on the third floor was completely different from the hall on the first floor. It didn't look like a shop, but more like an inn or tea room, with separate rooms.

"Grandmaster Hai, Grandmaster Hu, a guest has arrived," the blue-robed attendant called out in front of a room.

With a soft "creak," the door opened.

Han Li saw two people sitting opposite each other in the room, with a chessboard on a square table in front of them, scattered with dozens of black and white chess pieces.

The two looked up at Han Li, who was stepping into the room, and seeing that his aura was not weak, they immediately stood up and gave him a slight salute.

The middle-aged man in the green robe and scholar-like attire waved his hand, signaling the blue-robed attendant to leave, and then said:

"I am Hai Wuliang, and this is my colleague Hu Dayou. May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

The short-bearded old man next to him was still somewhat preoccupied with the unfinished game, his eyes not completely removed from the chessboard, and only gave Han Li a slight smile, somewhat absentmindedly nodding.

"I am Liu Shi," Han Li replied.

"In this You Bao Zhai, we two are considered to have some discerning eyes and are always responsible for identification and acquisition matters. Since Fellow Daoist Liu has come here, I presume you have treasures you wish to sell?" the middle-aged scholar asked with a gentle smile.

"That's right, I have a Water Spirit Bell in my possession. I would like to ask you two to appraise it," Han Li said with a smile.

With a flick of his wrist, a small blue bell the size of a bowl appeared in his palm, crystal clear throughout, with dense runes engraved on the surface, and several dragon-shaped streamers faintly swimming on it.

Hai Wuliang's eyes lit up at the sight of this object, and the short-bearded old man finally completely removed his gaze from the chessboard.

The two carefully took the Water Spirit Bell, examined it carefully for a while, and exchanged glances with each other. One of them then said:

"The grade of this item is not low, at least it is a magical item that can only be used by a Great Ascension Stage cultivator. However, it does not seem to be used for attack or defense, but rather to seal off an area's spiritual energy."

This magical item was obtained by Han Li from Hanqiu's storage bracelet after killing him. Its function, as the short-bearded old man said, was very simple.

Therefore, this was the first item Han Li wanted to sell this time.

"What fellow Daoist said is correct. The function of this item is indeed limited to this. However, for some cultivators who specialize in water-attribute techniques, or who want to shield a place from water-attribute spiritual objects, this item is a rare treasure. I believe your esteemed pavilion should be able to give a reasonable price," Han Li paused and said with a smile.

"Three top-grade spirit stones, what do you think of this price, fellow Daoist?" Hu Dayou said after pondering for a moment.

Han Li thought for a moment, feeling that it was fair, and nodded.

Then, with a flick of his wrist, a white round bead suddenly appeared in his palm, revealing traces of visible yin and cold energy.

As soon as this item appeared, the temperature in the entire room plummeted. In the teacups next to the chessboard of Hai Wuliang, a slight "crack" sound was heard, and the tea inside instantly froze into ice.

Upon seeing this, a hint of joy flashed in both of their eyes, and they carefully examined the round bead again...

After about half an hour, Han Li slowly walked out of You Bao Zhai. Hai Wuliang and the other insisted on sending him down from the third floor, all the way to the door.

At parting, they repeatedly told him that if he had any treasures in the future, he should come directly to them, and they would definitely give him the most satisfactory price.

Han Li responded with a smile and turned to walk out of the street.

The two watched him until his figure disappeared before turning back to You Bao Zhai, causing surprise among the customers and blue-robed attendants in the hall.

They had taken five magical items and one spiritual material from Han Li's hands, thinking they had made a big profit, and were overjoyed.

But in fact, what they bought was only one-tenth or two-tenths of the treasures that Han Li wanted to sell.

After that, Han Li successively visited several of the largest shops in the city. It wasn't until dusk that he left Blackwind City and returned to his temporary cave dwelling on Youyang Mountain.

After opening all the restrictions that were originally in the cave dwelling and those that he had later set up, he went straight into the secret room.

Inside the secret room, Han Li flipped his wrist, took out the blue bull-headed mask, and put it on his face.

As he pointed his two fingers between his eyebrows and chanted a spell, a blue light immediately flew out from the mask, turning into a huge array plate on the wall.

His eyes scanned the right side of the array plate for a moment, and then he waved his wrists repeatedly.

Streams of light flew out one after another, and several magical items flew into the air and landed on the blue light array plate.

Although Han Li had previously sold the magical items and spiritual materials in his hands in several batches under different appearances, he still kept several of the most precious treasures, including Jiao Shiliu's black iron cone.

These treasures were basically collected by Han Li from the remains of other No-Chang Alliance members during his previous trip to Red Moon Island. They were mostly their personal magical items. If they were circulated here, they might cause unnecessary trouble.

Therefore, he planned to consign them all to the No-Chang Alliance for sale.

Then, Han Li suddenly remembered something, and shifted his gaze to the left side of the array plate, raising his finger to write in the void.

As the blue light characters flew into the array plate, a task seeking news of the Dao Pill recipe quickly appeared on the right side of the array plate.

After doing all this, he put away the mask and closed his eyes to adjust his breathing.

……

Time passed in a flash, and several days went by.

Han Li originally thought that the news of the Dao Pill recipe would take a long time to receive a response, but he didn't expect that the earliest response he received was about this item.

However, what he received was not the specific Dao Pill recipe, but was informed that since this item was too precious, it would generally not appear in ordinary transactions.

Only by becoming a core member of the No-Chang Alliance with a higher level of identity, would he occasionally encounter someone who would take out the recipe to exchange, and the conditions required were mostly extremely harsh, and almost no one could achieve them.

In addition, that person also said that if he could obtain the title of Heavenly Pill Master and collateral, it would become much easier to obtain the recipe at that time.

Even then, there would be members who would take out the recipe and materials themselves, asking him to help refine the Dao Pill.

After that, Han Li asked about the three Supreme Laws, but was told that although there were many books in the Immortal World that claimed to be able to cultivate the Supreme Laws, they were mostly in the hands of some large forces, and would never be easily circulated.

As for some that were scattered outside, either the magic formulas were incomplete, or the techniques had flaws, and they were not reliable at all, so no one would dare to take them for cultivation easily.

In addition, over the past few days, the magical items that Han Li had placed for consignment in the No-Chang Alliance had also been sold out one after another.

Including the magical items and spiritual materials previously sold in Blackwind City, Han Li made a small fortune, accumulating more than six hundred top-grade spirit stones.

However, in Han Li's view, this wealth, which would be considered astronomical for ordinary cultivators, seemed a bit stretched, whether it was to cope with the auction three years later, or to pay the high cost of leaving the Blackwind Sea area.

He was not too worried about this, but added a task seeking the seeds of the Soul-Birth Flower to the task list of the No-Chang Alliance.

According to his estimation, as long as there was a small bottle of spiritual liquid, there would be no problem in cultivating a Soul-Birth Flower that was more than ten thousand years old before the Blackwind Sea auction was held.

At that time, with this item in place, he would most likely be able to exchange for what he needed.

However, if the Soul-Birth Flower was to be ripened with spiritual liquid, then the extraction of heavy water on the Earth Clone side would inevitably be affected.

But this was unavoidable. After all, one cannot have both fish and bear's paw.
