When Chang He I opened his mouth, Han Li noticed that someone was looking at him with a longing gaze. It was Shu Tiansheng.
Seeing Han Li looking at him, Shu Tiansheng squeezed out a flattering smile.
"I'm sorry, this Feiyun Fire Crystal can only be exchanged for the materials I mentioned just now." Han Li shook his head resolutely.
"Daoist Li, is there really no room for negotiation?" Chang He I's expression changed, but he still didn't want to give up.
"This Feiyun Fire Crystal is impossible, but I still have some Fire Crystals with me.
As for the nine materials I mentioned just now, as long as you can provide me with the whereabouts of one of them, you can also get one. "Han Li pondered for a while and then said.
As he spoke, he brushed his hand on the table again, and two fist-sized Feiyun Fire Crystals appeared on the table.
Chang He I looked at the two Feiyun Fire Crystals with a fiery gaze. After a moment of silence, he finally sat down dejectedly.
Shu Tiansheng also sat back and lowered his eyelids. Obviously, he didn't have any information about this.
Seeing this, Han Li sighed. He waved his hand and kept the three Feiyun Fire Crystals on the table.
The exchange meeting continued, but apart from the Feiyun Fire Crystals, the other things were all ordinary, and the atmosphere became gloomy.
After an hour, the exchange meeting ended hastily in this atmosphere.
Han Li didn't stay here for long. He immediately got up and left with Qi Liang.
Chang He I still didn't give up. Before Han Li left, he asked again if he could exchange for a Feiyun Fire Crystal.
This time, the old Taoist Chang He aimed at the two small pieces and took out many rare treasures.
However, Han Li didn't need these things, so he refused again, which made Chang He I very disappointed.
However, he took out a Messaging Array Disc and gave it to Chang He I, asking him to send a message to him if he got the materials or news in the future.
Chang He I cheered up a little. He promised again and again that he would try his best to find it and asked Han Li to leave one or two Fire Crystals for him.
Han Li was slightly surprised by this person's eagerness to obtain the Feiyun Fire Crystals. He nodded in agreement and left the Scorpio Pavilion with Qi Liang.
"Where will Brother Li go next?" Qi Liang asked.
"I'm going to take a look at other places. I want to take this opportunity to purchase some materials. After all, it's rare to see an exchange fair of this scale," Han Li said as he looked at the street ahead.
"I still have some matters to attend to, so I won't be accompanying Brother Li. Take care." Qi Liang nodded and bid farewell.
"Okay, I'll see you at the Dao Preaching Conference," said Han Li with a smile. Then he said goodbye and walked towards the street.
Qi Liang looked at Han Li's back and thought of something. After a slight sigh, he turned and walked in the other direction of the street.
Han Li walked past two streets and suddenly stopped. He turned around and said with a cold expression, "You've been following me for so long. What can I do for you?"
Not far behind Han Li, a fat man stood there. It was Shu Tiansheng.
"You must be Li Feiyu. I'm Shu Tiansheng from the Heaven Saint Peak. I didn't know what to do at the exchange fair. Please forgive me." Shu Tiansheng apologized sincerely.
"It's just a small matter. It's not worth mentioning. But why are you following me?" Han Li's expression softened.
"Thank you for your magnanimity. I'm following you to ask. Are you planning to continue looking for the materials you mentioned at the auction?" Shu Tiansheng cupped his hands and changed the topic.
"I don't like to beat around the bush. If you have something to say, just say it." Han Li said lightly.
"Yes, yes. Actually I know the location of one of the materials. It's just that there were too many people so I didn't say it in front of everyone." Shu Tiansheng smiled apologetically and said seriously.
"Oh? What kind of material?" Han Li's eyes lit up.
Shu Tiansheng opened his mouth to make a prophecy, but he swallowed his words. He looked like he wanted to say something.
"Don't worry. What I said just now still stands. If you can provide me with information about one of the materials, you can get a Crimson Cloud Fire Crystal." Han Li said after seeing Shu Tiansheng's expression.
"No … I do know the location of one of the materials you need. However, it's not one of the nine materials. It's the Blood Crystal Lotus." Shu Tiansheng looked at Han Li and said.
"Blood Crystal Lotus … That's right. It's something I want.
What do you want in exchange for this information?
Just say it. "Han Li was startled. He looked deeply at Shu Tiansheng and said.
"Since Brother Li is straightforward, I won't hide it anymore. I hope to exchange this information for a Crimson Cloud Fire Crystal." Shu Tiansheng said with a smile.
Han Li just looked at him and didn't say anything.
"I know that the Blood Crystal Lotus isn't one of the nine materials you mentioned. Moreover, it's value is lower than the nine materials you mentioned.
How about this, I'll add on some Immortal Meta Stones to exchange for a small piece of Crimson Cloud Fire Crystal? "Shu Tiansheng took a deep breath and said.
"There's no need for that. The Blood Crystal Lotus is something I want as well. As long as you tell me where it is, there's no need for Immortal Meta Stones." Han Li shook his head and said calmly.
His expression didn't change, but his heart was filled with joy. In fact, compared to the nine materials for the Dao Pill, he wanted the Blood Crystal Lotus more. As long as he had it, he could immediately start concocting the Myriad Wheel Pill.
"Thank you for your generosity.
Actually, there are many cultivators gathered in White Jade City. There are many Perfected Immortals among them. There are many exchanges and auctions like the one just now.
To tell you the truth, I happen to know that there will be a secret high-end auction in three days. The requirements for the participants are extremely high. They must be at least a mid stage True Immortal. I heard that there will be a Blood Crystal Lotus appearing in the auction. "Shu Tiansheng's lips moved slightly as he transmitted his voice.
'A secret auction!' Han Li's heart stirred and his eyes narrowed.
Since it required one to be at least Perfected Immortal intermediate stage to participate, then more than half of the Perfected Immortal elders of the Candle Dragon Path wouldn't be able to participate. This auction was indeed not a small matter.
"Since Brother Li can easily break through my illusion technique, then there must be no problem in terms of cultivation." Shu Tiansheng had regained his casual look and said with a smile.
Han Li ignored the other party's probing. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said, "Alright, I will definitely participate in this auction. If there really is a Blood Crystal Lotus, I will give you a Crimson Cloud Fire Crystal as promised."
"Alright, let's meet here at noon in three days." Shu Tiansheng's eyes flashed with joy and he quickly left.
Han Li watched him leave, then turned and continued walking forward.
Time flew by, and soon, night fell.
Huge moon-shaped gems appeared everywhere in White Jade City. They emitted bright white light, illuminating the entire city as if it was daytime.
The various shops and buildings in the city also lit up. Under the cover of the night, White Jade City looked even more enchanting than it was in the daytime.
Han Li walked out of a shop in the city.
He was hoping to get lucky and walked through all the remaining material shops in the city. Unfortunately, he still couldn't find the materials he needed.
Although he was already mentally prepared for this, he still couldn't help but feel a little depressed. As a result, he could only place his hopes on those private exchanges and auctions.
However, it wasn't like he didn't gain anything after walking for half a day.
Han Li heard from a shop owner that another exchange was going to be held the next day.
Although the scale of this exchange was ordinary, perhaps even smaller than the one at the Scorpio Court, Han Li didn't plan to miss it.
Han Li walked out of the shop, turned a few blocks, and came to a quiet street.
The buildings on both sides of the street were all inns. There weren't many pedestrians.
Han Li walked around for the whole day. Although he wasn't tired, he still wanted to rest.
He looked around and chose a smaller inn. He walked over and asked for a quiet room.
Under the guidance of the inn's waiter, he quickly arrived at a room on the third floor.
"Sir, please rest well. If you need anything, just let me know." The waiter said cleverly.
Han Li looked around the room. It wasn't bad.
He casually gave the waiter a spirit stone and waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
The waiter was overjoyed. After bowing, he quickly retreated.
Han Li turned around and was about to close the door. At this moment, a series of footsteps sounded out.
A red-robed female cultivator walked past the door. Her face was covered with a veil. Although he couldn't see her face clearly, she didn't look too old.
Although White Jade City wasn't small, there were too many cultivators in the city. As a result, the houses were crowded. Even the inns were designed to look like a mortal world.
The red-robed woman glanced at Han Li but didn't stop. She quickly walked over and soon disappeared into the corridor.
Han Li looked at this woman's swaying back, and his eyes showed some doubts.
Although this woman had concealed her aura, Han Li's spiritual consciousness was powerful. He was able to detect that this woman's cultivation was definitely in the True Immortal Realm.
In the current White Jade City, a True Immortal Realm cultivator was nothing.
It's just that this woman's back gave Han Li a vague sense of familiarity. He felt like he had seen her somewhere before.
He thought about it for a moment, but couldn't find any clues. Shaking his head, he no longer bothered himself.
After Han Li closed the door, he placed a layer of restrictions in the room and sat down cross-legged on the bed.
…
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
At noon, Han Li arrived at the place where he and Shu Tiansheng had agreed to meet.
"Dao Friend Li, you're here." Shu Tiansheng was already waiting here. When he saw Han Li come over, he greeted him with a smile.
Han Li nodded and didn't say anything.
"The auction will be held in a secluded place. Dao Friend Li, please follow me." Shu Tiansheng sent a voice transmission and walked forward.
The two of them didn't speak a word. They passed through many streets. After half an hour, they arrived at a remote shop.
