Chapter 353 – Stardust Pavilion
Han Li looked at the old man so eagerly, faintly smiled, casually took out the storage bag holding the materials from his body, and gently sprayed the mouth of the bag towards the ground, and immediately after a white light, the materials of that White Spider and Mantis piled up all over the ground.
”These are ……” Shopkeeper Xu lowered his head and then picked up the lower limbs of a white spider, gazing intently and carefully, a few puzzled colors appearing on his face.
Obviously although the old man was an expert in refining weapons, he still didn’t know much about these rare and exotic insects, so even though he could see the extraordinary nature of these materials, he still had a confused look.
Seeing him like this, Han Li smiled for a moment before opening his mouth to introduce, “Most of these materials are the shell and lower limbs from a white spider demonic beast, while some others are the forelimbs and wings of a giant praying mantis. Both of these are rank four demonic beasts, and the latter in particular is a top rank four demonic beast that is very powerful. I hope that Your Excellency will make good use of these materials, getting them can cost a lot of effort!”
”Materials from a rank four demonic beast!” The white-haired old man exclaimed in surprise, but immediately his entire body fell into ecstasy. One must know that normally, not to mention fourth level demonic beasts, even the materials of demonic beasts above the second level, this bit rarely saw ah.
”Yes, Shopkeeper Xu! But this time, for the refining of the magic weapon, I have some special requests that I hope Your Excellency can fulfill. Only after doing so, these materials can be handed over to you for refining. The reward will also be according to the old method from last time, and you can leave a portion of the materials as the cost of refining the magic weapon.” Han Li said in an unusually calm manner.
”Senior, feel free to rest assured, no matter what the request is. Little old me will absolutely comply! To be able to personally refine such top-notch materials, I have not learned the way of weapon refining in this life in vain after all!” Shopkeeper Xu picked up another huge mantis arm and gently stroked it, his eyes filled with fervor.
Seeing the other party show such an expression, Han Li was a bit surprised, but his heart was more and more at ease, so he gently rushed the old man and said, “The artifacts I’m requesting to refine this time are rather special, first of all, it’s best if you can refine these spider’s lower limbs into attack artifacts that can be used in a set, and that praying mantis …… ”
……
An hour later, Han Li and Qu Soul walked out of this refining store.
He and this shopkeeper Xu had agreed to let him meet these materials first and conceptualize the method of refining, and then Han Li would send the materials to him tomorrow so that he could officially begin refining.
And now, Han Li took this opportunity to go to the workshop market for a good turn, because from the old man’s mouth, he finally confirmed what he thought in his heart.
It turns out that the news of the tragic defeat of Yue and the two countries’ cultivators has already reached Yuanwu, and now Yuanwu, whether it’s an Immortal Cultivation Family or a loose cultivator, are all in an uproar, and everyone has a premonition of the stormy future.
Therefore, many Immortal Cultivators have flocked to the marketplace and exchanged their rare items for the things they need in order to increase their strength to cope with the disaster.
So in just a few days, Yuanwu country’s various workshop market, there are rumors of one after another rare magic weapon, potion and other things on the market, which in turn attracted more other cultivators who smelled the wind, resulting in all the workshop market are so prosperous.
With this opportunity in front of him, Han Li naturally refused to let it go.
With this in mind, Han Li began to sneak around the stores.
Sure enough, within these stores, there were indeed many more goodies, and surprisingly, there were also quite a few top-ranked magic weapons, which surprised Han Li greatly.
Although ordinary top ranked magic weapons had long since lost their appeal to Han Li, the last time he came, there were very few top ranked magic weapons within these stores.
After roughly circling around, Han Li only collected a few rare medicinal herbs that he hadn’t seen before in these stores and called it a day. Then, the person went straight to the center of the workshop center of the “Stardust Pavilion” and went.
With the experience of buying and selling things in the market a few times, Han Li had also learned that in order to really buy good things, he should also go to those big stores with strong strength. Only they had the strength to really collect some precious things. Those small stalls might really have a few good things, but they could never be compared to the collections of the big stores.
When he went to the “Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion” in the Yellow Maple Valley Marketplace, he found a lot of treasures, didn’t he?
With this in mind, Han Li took Qu Soul into the Star Sect’s “Stardust Pavilion”, a huge 20 to 30 feet tall building.
Once inside the pavilion, Han Li froze for a moment.
Because the first floor of the hall, surprisingly bustling with more than twenty to thirty cultivators, all of them together in front of the surrounding counters, and a few wearing red clothing clerk to say something, no one even looked at Han Li a glance.
Han Li scratched the back of his head, looked at the side of the stairs leading to the second floor, but the person slowly walked toward one of the counters, a careless look.
There were three Qi Refining Stage cultivators at the side of this section of the counter, one of whom was holding a white array flag and looking at it over and over again, and his mouth was still talking to one of the shopkeepers, beeping about something that seemed to be very unsatisfactory.
And that Stardust Pavilion people, always full of smiles a little do not care about the appearance, and kept explaining what. But when these few cultivators saw Han Li and the Qu Soul behind him, they immediately shut their mouths. Obviously, they were very wary of unfamiliar cultivators!
Only to see that the cultivator with the array flags in his hand hurriedly fished out dozens of spirit stones from his body and handed them over to the clerk, then took a set of array flags and the other two left quickly.
Han Li looked at the backs of these people in a somewhat depressed manner, feeling a bit puzzled in his heart!
But just then, the clerk politely rushed Han Li and said, “Senior, I’m really sorry! This is the first floor, and I’m afraid there aren’t any items suitable for senior. If senior really wants to buy something, please go to the third floor or above, that’s the place that specializes in receiving high-level cultivators.”
Hearing this, Han Li was slightly stunned, but his complexion immediately returned to normal and faintly said asked, “How many floors does your Stardust Pavilion have in total, introduce them to me!”
This person revealed a bit of surprise, but still respectfully said, “Of course, since it’s senior’s first time coming to our Stardust Pavilion, introducing our Pavilion to senior is something that should be done.”
”Our Stardust Pavilion is divided into a total of nine floors, the first seven floors are open to the public, and outsiders will have to stop at the last two floors. Of the first seven floors, the first to third floors are to receive lower-ranked cultivators in the Qi Refining Stage, the fourth to sixth floors are responsible for higher-ranked cultivators like senior, and as for the seventh floor, it is only open to cultivators in the JieDan Stage.”
This person numbly gave Han Li a rough introduction, Han Li nodded as he listened, and without saying a word, went straight to the stairs leading to the second floor.
The second and third floors, one is a bit smaller than the first floor, but the layout is obviously much more flashy and elegant. It seems that the higher the level, the more precious the things for sale should be.
Thinking this way, Han Li didn’t stop at these two levels, and even walked directly past the fourth level to the fifth instead. When he still wanted to go further to the sixth level, he was stopped by a red-clothed boy guarding the stairway.
”This guest, according to the rules of this pavilion whether or not you can go to the sixth floor, you have to be recognized by the shopkeeper on the fifth floor.” This handsome boy said with an expressionless face. Although he was only at the Qi Refining stage of cultivation, he was actually not the least bit afraid of Han Li’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivator status.
Han Li frowned and didn’t move in anger, but instead followed his words and entered the hall on the fifth floor.
Although the hall was not large, there were several young and beautiful maids waiting there, and when Han Li entered, there happened to be a man and a woman talking easily. The man was thirty-five or thirty-six years old, with a normal appearance. The woman was in her forties, quite the charm of a noblewoman, and could be seen to be a rare beauty in her youth.
Both of them were at the Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, especially the middle-aged woman, who actually had a late Foundation Establishment stage of cultivation, which made Han Li’s heart flinch.
”Fellow Daoist, is there anything I need my concubine’s help with?” As soon as the middle-aged woman saw Han Li coming over, she turned her head and smiled sweetly at him, her voice crisp and clear, making it extremely comfortable to hear.
”I want to buy some real treasures, whether it’s a magic weapon or talisman or something like that will do, I don’t know if the lady has any here?” Han Li said with a cold expression after glancing at the noblewoman.
Hearing that Han Li’s tone was a bit loud, the man glanced at Han Li with a bit of surprise.
”LOL! To buy treasures, fellow Daoist has truly come to the right place. As long as you can pay for something, we can definitely make you, Daoist, happy.” The middle-aged woman was not young, but her laughter was as moving as a young woman’s.
”But it’s a coincidence that this fellow Daoist is also buying treasures. Then the two of you wait for a moment, I’ll take the items out and give you two a look over.” The woman said with a smile.
She then turned her head back with a scowl and commanded, “Zi Lian! Serve tea to the two honored guests!”
”Yes, ma’am!” A maid standing behind the woman answered with a respectful expression.
The woman then calmly walked out, while the maid smilingly poured a cup of tea for Han Li and the man alone.
