Chapter 1422 – Three Choices
Those two guest-like people, a couple-like middle-aged man and woman, were talking to the shopkeeper about something.
One of the two was in the early stage of Void Refining, and one was in the middle stage of Void Refining. As for the shopkeeper, upon closer inspection, he was actually a terrifying existence in the late stage of Void Refining.
This kind of cultivation person, how could he open some kind of store here.
Han Li’s heart was appalled.
The pair of men and women immediately swept over as soon as they saw someone enter.
They could see Han Li’s mid-Healing God cultivation and felt the unfamiliar and unusual face, and were also greatly surprised in their hearts.
On the contrary, it was the withered shopkeeper who merely glanced over and stopped paying attention to Han Li, continuing to lazily converse with the two people in front of him.
”Without finding the Spirit Absorbing Stones, Purple Immortal Wood, your couple should not presume! As for the high-grade spirit stones, do you guys think I’m lacking these things?” This withered middle-aged man was surprisingly loud-mouthed.
”Brother Fish, exchanging Spirit Sucking Stones for Purple Immortal Wood, this condition is too harsh, this item can only exist in the depths of the Earth Abyss. Not to mention a Void Refining cultivator like my couple, even the several elders in the clan wouldn’t dare to easily enter such depths.” The woman with a charming demeanor said with a resigned expression.
”This old man doesn’t care. Do you think that Old Husband’s Purple Immortal Wood came from the wind? Without the Spirit Sucking Stone, this matter is off the table.” The withered shopkeeper rolled both eyes and said with no trace of politeness.
When the couple heard the palmist say this, they naturally looked greatly embarrassed. However, no matter how much they pleaded below, the old man was cold and did not loosen his tongue in the slightest.
In the end, the couple could only leave with their hearts full of thoughts.
They hadn’t spoken a word to Han Li since the beginning.
”Kid, what is your business here at the old man’s place?” As soon as the shopkeeper waited for the couple to walk out the door, he headed to the chair behind the table with an impatient look.
”I’ve heard that senior has the Green Luo Fruit for sale here, but is it true.” Han Li asked calmly and unusually.
”Green Luo Fruit. That’s one of the most precious things in this store, a mere Flying Spirit General simply can’t afford to exchange it for it, don’t waste my time, hurry up and leave this place.” The middle-aged man was stunned after hearing Han Li’s words, and then after carefully sizing up Han Li for a couple of moments, he let out a cold snort from his nose and directly opened his mouth to expel Han Li.
”Seniors don’t say the conditions, how do you know and late generation can’t trade this item.” Han Li smiled faintly, his feet not moving a bit at all.
”Hmph, honoring a drink and refusing to eat it!” The withered middle-aged man was furious, and one of the pair of silver wings behind him flapped violently at Han Li through the air.
After a muffled sound, an invisible force rushed Han Li to press head-on, and even the nearby air buzzed.
Han Li corner of the eye jumped, did not have any dodge, but a raised hand, even with a finger as a sword gently scratched.
A golden aura flashed, and the huge force was easily cut in two. It brushed past from both sides of Han Li, emitting a loud rumbling sound.
”Huh! No wonder there’s some backbone, it seems to have a few skills.” The withered shopkeeper let out a soft eep, his eyes flashing with some surprise.
”Does the latecomer have the qualifications to make a deal with senior now.” Han Li, however, asked again with his usual expression.
”Well, count yourself qualified enough. But if you want to hit on the Green Luo Fruit, you still don’t know what’s possible.” The shopkeeper returned indifferently.
”If you don’t even tell your junior how to exchange it, how do you know that I won’t be able to pay for what senior wants.” Han Li smiled back with a wry smile.
”Since you’re so confident, old me doesn’t have any other guests right now, so there’s no harm in telling you. The rarity of the Green Luo Fruit is not something I’ll talk about. If you want to exchange for this item, I’ll give you three options. As long as you can reach any of them, the Green Luo Fruit can be exchanged for you.” The shopkeeper pondered slightly, and actually changed his mind with a softer expression.
”Three choices, it seems like the Green Luo Fruit is really not a good one to take. Otherwise, why would senior give this many choices.” Hearing the other party’s words, Han Li, however, laughed bitterly.
”It’s good that you know. First, if you can produce the rumored Underworld Lotus or Dark Blood Crystal, I will immediately give you the Green Luo Fruit without saying a word.” The withered middle-aged man said leisurely after a cold laugh.
”These two spiritual objects are simply rumored things, whether or not they really exist in the world is still a matter of two opinions. It is simply impossible for the late generation to have these two items.” Han Li shook his head repeatedly.
”Heh heh, things of rumor.” When the middle-aged man sniffed, a trace of sarcasm unexpectedly appeared on his face.
”Since the first choice, you find it impossible. Then for the second choice, I’ll say an object that you can definitely find. If you have five or six hundred Extreme Spirit Stones in your hand, I can also reluctantly sell you a Green Luo Fruit.”
”Five to six hundred Extreme Spirit Stones, senior is really a lion. Such a large number of Extreme Grade Spirit Stones, I guess the several elders of the clan can’t take them out. This, senior can’t do either.” Han Li’s complexion changed a few times, becoming a bit ugly.
If the other party had only said more than a hundred extreme grade spirit stones, he would have gritted his teeth and traded the many spirit medicines he had stored in his own store for a bit, and it might have been possible to scrape it all together. With a quantity like five or six hundred, he didn’t even think about it and directly gave up.
”Hmph, the stuff is old man’s. The old man felt that the Green Luo Fruit was worth so many spirit stones, so he naturally offered these conditions.” The shopkeeper, however, said without a care in the world.
Han Li could only be speechless when he heard this.
”The first two conditions are unacceptable to you, and the last choice is probably even more impossible for you to reach. Still want to hear it?” The withered middle-aged man said coldly.
”Senior might as well speak up!” Han Li said grimly.
Upon hearing Han Li say so, an odd expression spread across the shopkeeper’s face before he said after a long while, “This last condition isn’t something that anyone is qualified to choose. I need to ask you first before I say anything. Are you proficient in the power of lightning?”
”Thunder and lightning?” Han Li’s pupils shrank, greatly surprised.
”Not bad, if one does not possess lightning attribute aptitude at all, or if one only has a rough understanding of it, the third choice, there’s no need for the old man to speak on it at all.”
”If it’s the power of lightning, Mister Han asked himself if he could still manipulate some of it.” Han Li secretly felt a bit strange, but after pondering for a bit, he still honestly replied.
”Really, words are not proof. Show Lao Fu a thing or two first, let me see if you’re truly qualified.” The withered middle-aged man, however, did not intend to simply believe Han Li like this, but instead said as his eyes flashed brilliantly.
”No problem!” Han Li agreed, his wings behind his back just lightly shaking.
”Rumble” of thunder, countless silver arcs suddenly emerged on the wings, and then intertwined, all the arcs coalesced and contracted, and in the blink of an eye a dozen or so silver-colored thunderballs emerged in the surroundings of Han Li.
One fist size, crackling up and down uncertainly. However, the terrifying might contained in these thunderballs caused the withered middle-aged man’s pupils to shrink, revealing several shades of surprise.
”Not bad, you really didn’t exaggerate, really the lightning aptitude is not small, you can listen to my last choice. It’s actually very simple, the last condition doesn’t want you to exchange anything for the Green Luo Fruit, it just wants you to help me take in a thunder attribute spirit beast.”
”Conquer a spirit beast!” Han Li’s gaze flickered, greatly surprised.
”What, you think it’s simple. To tell you the truth, this spirit beast is somewhat special, and although I captured it alive already, I was never able to take it in for my own use. The number of people I’ve looked for isn’t small, but no one has been able to help me truly subdue it. Instead, quite a few people’s aptitude is not good, but was injured by the beast’s backlash. However, if you are confident in the power of thunder and lightning really have some attainments, it is not the slightest chance of not having. But the ugly words to the front, at that time is injured or dead, the old man will not care at all.” The withered middle-aged man said with great meaning.
”A Thunder Primordial Spirit Beast? Can senior tell us frankly what kind of spirit beast it is.” Han Li’s brows furrowed after hearing this.
”It’s not good to tell you what kind of spirit beast for now. If you really decide to help old man, I’ll take you to see this beast’s, and you’ll know once you see it then.” The middle-aged man’s eyes flashed with a few moments of cunning.
After hearing this vague reply from the other party, Han Li stroked his chin and naturally cursed in his heart, but his mind still pondered the matter with all sorts of thoughts rushing through his mind.
This person was a late stage Void Refining existence, but was still unable to subdue a captured spirit beast, there must be some oddities within. However, since the other party had specified that he needed someone who was proficient in the power of thunder and lightning in order to help, it didn’t seem like he had no sincerity at all.
Han Li pondered for a while before opening his mouth and asking again:
”What degree of subjugation did senior refer to when he said subjugation is considered possible.”
”Naturally, it’s only possible to assist the old man and have it obediently captured, accepting the old man’s Master Recognition Ceremony.” The middle-aged man said without hesitation.
”If it’s to this extent, junior is willing to assist senior and give it a try.” Han Li no longer hesitated either.
”Very well! For the Recognition Ceremony, old me will need to prepare a bit more beforehand. After four days, you can come back to this place to look for Old Husband again.” The shopkeeper said with a smile on his face.
”Four days later, I will be here on time. The latecomer will take his leave first.” Han Li didn’t say anything more, and after slightly clasping his fists, he excused himself and left the store.
Looking in the direction of the gate where Han Li had disappeared, the withered middle-aged man raised his hand and stroked the goatee on his chin, his eyes revealing a hint of excitement.
After Han Li came out of the store, he didn’t rush to leave the trading hall right away, but once again returned to the stone pillar where the trading information had surfaced, hoping that there would be other surprises to discover ……
It wasn’t until it was getting late in the day and the Trading Hall was about to close that Han Li’s figure flew out of the giant door in delight.
His harvest this time was truly bountiful. In addition to discovering the traces of the Green Luo Fruit, he had also discovered several rare materials that were simply unattainable in the Human Race from the Sky Roc Race’s Trading Hall. Among them were both weapon refining items and spiritual flowers and herbs.
One of the spiritual herbs, but also happens to be and the golden pith crystal worm with the refining of the Brahma Saint true magic phase of the other main medicine.
This naturally made Han Li overjoyed.
He only needed to find the other two spirit medicines, and then he would have all the materials together and could condense the true body of the Dharma Phase.
Han Li pondered in his mind as his entire body transformed into a ball of green light and flew straight to his residence.
Tomorrow, is the three-day period agreed upon with the great elder of the Sky Roc tribe.
However, Han Li in the reclining light had a smile at the corner of his mouth, as if he had completely forgotten this matter in the back of his mind.
