Chapter 535 Bewilderment

Han Li paused at the entrance of Tongtian Street, gazing at the white palace in mid-air, his eyes flickering.

According to the records in that ancient book, this palace was established by the Yuanguang City Lord as a base to monitor every movement along Tongtian Street.

Due to its location on the border and its vast territory, other areas of Yuanguang City were somewhat chaotic. However, Tongtian Street remained the most peaceful because any fighting was strictly prohibited. Violators would be severely punished, even directly killed.

Over time, this palace in the sky became a symbol of authority, holding considerable power in the minds of cultivators who frequented Yuanguang City.

Han Li quickly retracted his gaze and looked around the street.

Although there were many streets surrounding the square, there was no sense of disorder. They subtly aligned with a certain pattern, indicating that the layout was designed by an expert. Furthermore, each street's shops sold uniform items, such as materials, spiritual treasures, or elixirs, all in an orderly fashion.

As Han Li pondered, he stepped onto a rather spacious street. The shops here sold various spiritual herbs and materials, and the crowd was dense and noisy.

After looking around at the street entrance, he walked towards a relatively large material shop. Just as he was about to step inside, he suddenly turned around, his brow furrowed.

Jin Tong, who had been following him, was nowhere to be seen.

Han Li activated his spiritual sense, trying to sense Jin Tong's location through their mental connection.

As a result, he was speechless. As expected, Jin Tong had run off to the nearby snack stalls again.

Han Li shook his head, not summoning Jin Tong back.

Although Jin Tong's strength was not top-tier in the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, there was probably nothing in Yuanguang City that could harm her, so there was no need to worry too much.

He entered the shop, which was quite large, spanning hundreds of feet, and filled with shelves and counters.

The materials on the counters were diverse, including ores, spiritual herbs, and demon beast materials, among others. Many cultivators were walking around inside the shop.

"Greetings, esteemed guest. What materials are you looking for? We have everything here, and our prices are the most reasonable in Yuanguang City," a blue-robed shop assistant immediately greeted Han Li upon his entrance, introducing the merchandise efficiently.

"I'll take a look myself," Han Li waved his hand at the shop assistant and began to browse on his own.

The blue-robed shop assistant agreed but did not leave, silently following Han Li at a distance.

Han Li's eyes scanned the dazzling array of goods on the shelves, and he nodded inwardly.

Yuanguang City was located on the border, relatively isolated from the mainstream of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, but the materials here opened his eyes. They were rare items not often seen elsewhere. Especially the demon beast materials, most of which he did not recognize, probably originating from outside the Northern Cold Immortal Domain.

Fortunately, the shop was meticulous, with detailed explanations and usage notes beside each material.

Soon, Han Li had made a circuit of the shop, looking somewhat disappointed.

Although the materials in the shop were rare, their grades were not very high. Most were materials used by cultivators below the True Immortal Realm.

"Is the guest looking for high-grade materials? These are just ordinary spiritual materials. The truly precious high-grade materials are on the second floor," the blue-robed attendant noticed Han Li's expression and scurried forward, pointing to a staircase inside the shop, and said.

"Alright, I'll take a look upstairs," Han Li nodded.

"This way, please," the blue-robed attendant led the way, and the two quickly arrived on the second floor.

There were fewer shelves on the second floor, only seven or eight, but these shelves were noticeably more refined.

Han Li looked at the materials on the shelves, a hint of joy appearing in his eyes.

These materials were filled with abundant spiritual power, far superior to those downstairs. They were mostly at the True Immortal level, and occasionally there were even one or two materials at the Golden Immortal level.

"Oh!" He walked among the shelves, his eyes suddenly lighting up as he stopped in front of one, looking at a scarlet vine-like spiritual herb.

"This is called the Sky Rainbow Vine, a rare material, which we just received from a Wilderness Hunter cultivator a few days ago," the blue-robed attendant explained.

"Take it out for me to see," Han Li said.

The blue-robed attendant took out a token, opened the transparent restriction on the surface of the shelf, and carefully took out the vine-like spiritual herb, handing it to Han Li.

Han Li took the spiritual herb and examined it carefully, his heart filled with joy.

This Sky Rainbow Vine was a rather scarce main material for the 'Sky Bloom Pill', another Golden Immortal pill formula in the "Hua Nan Pill Scripture". It seemed that his luck was not bad.

"I want this, what's the price?" he asked the blue-robed attendant.

Although he had already collected all the materials for the 'Azure Underworld Pill', a Golden Immortal pill formula, it was naturally better to collect more pill formulas.

"The Sky Rainbow Vine is a material that can be used by cultivators above the True Immortal stage, and this one is over a hundred thousand years old. It requires three hundred and fifty Immortal Essence Stones," the blue-robed attendant hesitated for a moment, and said.

Three hundred and fifty Immortal Essence Stones was no small sum for a True Immortal cultivator, even a late-stage Grand Cultivator.

"Wrap it up for me," Han Li said casually.

He now had over two million Immortal Essence Stones on him, so these few stones were nothing.

"Yes," the blue-robed attendant’s face lit up with joy.

Han Li continued to look at the other shelves, but unfortunately, he didn't find any other suitable materials.

After a while, he walked out of the shop with the Sky Rainbow Vine.

Han Li did not leave the street, and turned to walk into a material shop next door.

In the blink of an eye, half a day passed. Han Li had looked through more than a dozen streets selling materials in Tongtian Street and found many useful materials.

Yuanguang City was worthy of being a city close to the Savage Wilderness Domain. Although its scale could not compare with the big cities in some prosperous areas of the Northern Cold Immortal Domain, there were many kinds of precious materials. No wonder the Northern Cold Immortal Palace wanted to get involved here.

Unfortunately, he had only found a few materials for the Sky Bloom Pill, and was still missing many.

The reason why the materials for the Azure Underworld Pill were gathered so quickly was because Xiao Jinhan had already collected most of them before.

Han Li didn't mind. The resources in the Savage Wilderness Domain were so rich, which was beyond his expectation.

It was not too late to slowly find the materials for the Sky Bloom Pill after entering the Savage Wilderness Domain.

Han Li turned and left the material street, and walked into a miscellaneous shop street. He chose the largest shop and walked in. He soon came out with a gray jade slip in his hand.

This was a map jade slip of the Savage Wilderness Domain, but according to the shopkeeper, many of the maps inside were pieced together from regional information bought from Wilderness Hunter cultivators.

The Savage Wilderness Domain was full of crises and unpredictable fortunes. This kind of small miscellaneous shop did not have the ability to verify the authenticity of this information, so the shopkeeper was not sure whether the situation on this map was true or false.

In other words, this map was only for reference.

Han Li was dumbfounded when he heard this.

He had traveled countless places and bought countless maps over the years, but this was the first time he had heard such irresponsible words.

However, the Savage Wilderness Domain was too dangerous, and the maps of the Savage Wilderness Domain sold in various miscellaneous shops in the city were mostly in this situation.

Han Li looked at the white jade slip and probed his spiritual sense into it.

The map in the jade slip was divided into two parts. One part was displayed in white, only a small piece, and the remaining large area was gray.

The white area was a region near Yuanguang City. The terrain conditions of each place, what kind of demon beasts lived there, and what kind of materials were produced, were all marked quite clearly.

But those gray areas were very vague, giving a chaotic and hazy feeling.

The shopkeeper had already explained to Han Li that the white places were the areas that the Yuanguang City Lord had sent people to explore, and it could be said that the official maps were basically true.

And those gray areas were unknown areas, and the terrains marked on them were all marked by some Wilderness Hunter cultivators, so it was naturally difficult to distinguish between true and false.

Han Li pondered slightly, and a white light flashed in his hand, and a white jade card appeared, which was the route map that Jiao San gave him.

Han Li had already read the route map in the jade card. It started from Yuanguang City and led all the way to Black Mountain Immortal Domain.

However, on this map, there were only general descriptions of the areas along this route, and the other places were blank.

Han Li compared the contents of the two maps with each other and slowly nodded.

The map of Jiao San and the official map issued by Yuanguang City were basically the same.

However, after the scope of the official map, the gray areas and Jiao San's map markings began to differ greatly. He didn't know who was true and who was false.

Han Li looked contemplative and turned to walk into another miscellaneous shop.

In the following time, he walked into dozens of miscellaneous shops in one breath and bought dozens of maps of unknown authenticity.

There should always be some real information in these maps. Buying more would be of some use when entering the Savage Wilderness Domain in the future.

Han Li came out of the last miscellaneous shop, and it was already dark.

Various kinds of white crystals were inlaid in various places in Tongtian Street, emitting a soft white light, illuminating Tongtian Street in a bright light, adding more prosperity and brilliance than during the day.

He looked up at the sky and frowned slightly. He had just sensed Jin Tong's location through his mental connection and found that she was still in Yuanguang City, but for some reason, the soul imprint in her body was shaking gently at this moment.

This situation would only occur when Jin Tong was fighting fiercely and her mind was excited.

While thinking, Han Li shot out, shooting towards Jin Tong's location, and soon landed in a huge circular palace building.

The main entrance of the hall was more than ten feet wide, and the front was crowded with people.

Han Li was slightly stunned, recognizing that this black hall was an arena in Yuanguang City. There were restrictions nearby, and he couldn't sense the specific situation inside.

Han Li was puzzled, but he didn't think much about it. He directly stepped into the arena.
