Bachelor [EN]: Chapter 1034

“When we reach the Star Domain, we will have specially prepared pills, won’t we? Although most were used up overcoming hurdles, the three of us have gathered what we had left, and it’s quite a bit. If you have these pills, the probability of overcoming the Star Domain bottleneck will increase by 20 to 30 percent!”

“Of course, depending on how many immortal spirit herbs the cultivator brings out, the amount of pills and treasures we offer will also vary.”

Dan Tianren added with a boastful tone, and Cai Liuying also chimed in. Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun, who were listening to their conversation, looked at Han Li with envious eyes after hearing why the elders had sought him out.

They too had received enormous rewards from Dan Tianren and Cai Liuying after returning from the Guanghan Realm, but compared to what Han Li would gain from this trade, it was a drop in the bucket.

Han Li’s eyes flickered as if he was deep in thought, and the others didn’t speak further, giving him time to consider.

“I did manage to obtain a considerable amount of spirit herbs from the medicinal garden. I don’t know what most of them are, so it would be good to trade with the three of you. I just don’t know if you’ll like them.”

“Rest assured. With the years we’ve lived, we can recognize most spirit herbs. Even if we don’t know them, they are immortal spirit herbs, so we will naturally pay a fair price.”

Tian Qizi said happily when he agreed to the trade. Dan Tianren and Cai Liuying also looked pleased.

“Since you say so, I will take out the spirit herbs and ask for your appraisal.”

Han Li nodded and shook his storage bracelet, summoning a blue aura. Then, over a hundred jade boxes floated out, emitting a soft glow.

Dan Tianren’s eyes lit up as he pulled the closest jade box and opened it. Inside was a bright red spirit herb that looked like coral.

“Flame Coral Grass! And such a large Flame Coral Grass at that!”

Dan Tianren exclaimed loudly, not caring who was watching. Han Li’s pupils trembled slightly before returning to normal. He had only taken out one here, but if his memory was correct, he had harvested about six or seven.

Cai Liuying and Tian Qizi looked at it with burning eyes and began to pull out jade boxes one by one, examining them closely. Having lived for over ten thousand years, they recognized 60% of the spirit herbs and spiritual flowers that Han Li did not.

Each one was extraordinary, and the faces of the three Star Domain cultivators were filled with smiles. They examined all hundred or so jade boxes in just over an hour.

“Indeed, these are very rare spirit herbs in the Spirit Realm. But considering the size of the medicinal garden, this can’t be all of it, can it? Cultivator Han, you can bring out more without worry.”

Tian Qizi glanced at Han Li as he examined the last jade box.

“Yes, there are still more spirit herbs left. But it seems like it’s time for you seniors to show me something as well.”

At that moment, Tian Qizi’s expression hardened.

“Are you saying you don’t trust us?”

“If I didn’t trust you seniors, I wouldn’t have brought out the spirit herbs I collected from the Guanghan Realm. It’s just that the remaining jade boxes contain duplicates of the spirit herbs I’ve already shown you. I’m only asking to confirm the pills you mentioned before the trade. Is that too much to ask?”

Han Li calmly stated his intentions without backing down.

“Cultivator Tian, let’s take out the pills we have and show them. We need to make him believe that we proposed this trade with good intentions.”

Dan Tianren, who was holding a crimson fruit in his hand, secretly communicated with Cai Liuying and said this.

“Among the spirit herbs that Cultivator Han has brought out, there are quite a few that we need. He has proven his worth to trade. May I show the pills I have prepared first?”

Cai Liuying also smiled, trying to ease the atmosphere. When the two of them said this, Tian Qizi burst into laughter.

“Haha, since you both say so, it seems like I’m the only bad guy. Let’s show Cultivator Han the pills as he wishes.”

“Thank you for your generosity, seniors.”

Han Li quickly bowed to the three cultivators, and Cai Liuying took out three jade bottles and threw them to him.

“These are pills that will help you overcome the bottleneck. They are called Silver Cotton Pill, Myriad Mystery Pill, and Bitter Green Powder. You’ve probably heard of them. I had a hard time getting these pills, and I’ve used half of them, but what’s left should be enough to help you. Especially the three Myriad Mystery Pills, their effects are extraordinary.”

Cai Liuying kindly explained as Han Li received the medicine bottles and checked them one by one. Han Li, who was well-versed in pills, quickly confirmed that they were genuine and nodded.

Then, Dan Tianren took out two medicine bottles and two jade boxes, and Tian Qizi took out a red gourd and a navy blue gourd.

After about an hour, Han Li finished appraising all the items. The pills and spirit herbs that Dan Tianren had brought out were comparable to Cai Liuying’s, and what was contained in Tian Qizi’s gourds was a rare spiritual liquid unique to the Thunderous Continent. Consuming the spiritual liquid directly was not very helpful, but it was an invaluable main ingredient for refining various precious pills.

Han Li, with a satisfied expression, shook his storage bracelet and brought out a large number of jade boxes.

“The pills and materials that the seniors have shown me are definitely priceless treasures. If any of these were to appear in the world, it would cause a great stir. However, it is still not enough to exchange for all the spirit herbs I have brought.”

Han Li scanned the jade boxes that had appeared before him.

“Haha, do you think we can’t satisfy you? Tell us what you want!”

Dan Tianren was in a good mood as several times more spirit herbs than before appeared.

“We will exchange for all the spirit herbs, so feel free to state your conditions!”

Tian Qizi’s lips also curled up as his opponent readily brought out a large number of spirit herbs.

“I would like to receive rare materials instead of magical artifacts and treasures. Can the three of you provide what is written on this list? Besides that, I would like to receive a bottle of the Crystal Moon Liquid, which is the sacred medicine of the Lian Clan, from Senior Cai, and I am also very interested in the Myriad Mystery Pill recipe and the puppet refining technique. I humbly ask that you fulfill my wishes.”

Han Li immediately rattled off what he wanted without hesitation.

“Isn’t that too greedy! The rare materials are one thing, but the Myriad Mystery Pill recipe is only known to our Lian Clan alchemists. The Crystal Moon Liquid is an even more coveted treasure that even Star Domain beings yearn for.”

Cai Liuying rarely frowned and showed displeasure.

“I think differently. These spirit herbs from the Guanghan Realm are close to all the immortal spirit herbs. If any of these were put up for auction, countless Star Domain cultivators would compete to win them.

Moreover, many of the hundreds of spirit herbs have already become extinct in the Spirit Realm and can no longer be obtained. Furthermore, they are spirit herbs that are far older than ten-thousand-year-old spirit herbs, so their medicinal properties will be outstanding. No matter how you look at it, this is a trade where I am at a loss.”

“The Myriad Mystery Pill recipe is absolutely out of the question. We cannot hand over the recipe, which is the foundation of our Heavenly Cloud Thirteen Clans, to an outsider. The puppet refining technique is the same, so don’t even dream about it.”

When Han Li stood his ground, Tian Qizi refused without hesitation this time.

“Although the Crystal Moon Liquid is difficult to obtain, I think I can give you one bottle, so how about the cultivator changes some of the conditions?”

Cai Liuying, looking a little pained, accepted part of the condition. The Crystal Moon Liquid itself was more valuable than the puppet and Myriad Mystery Pill, but it was still a consumable item.

Dan Tianren’s face was also quite dark. However, Han Li, who was observing their expressions, was greatly relieved. The unreasonable conditions he had presented earlier were mainly intended to test his opponents.

Getting even the Crystal Moon Liquid was a great achievement.

“If it is difficult to give me the Myriad Mystery Pill recipe and the puppet refining technique, I will not insist. Instead, would it be possible for you to cover half of the spirit stones that I have to pay when using the teleportation array this time?”

“Spirit stones are no problem. Let’s do it that way!”

Cai Liuying smiled lightly and agreed, and Tian Qizi and Dan Tianren also relaxed their expressions and agreed. Then, Han Li took out a blue jade slip and sent it flying towards Cai Liuying.

The woman pulled it over with her slender hand and examined the names written on it. Most of them were famous and precious items that she had heard of countless times.

She smiled calmly and handed the jade slip to Dan Tianren, then began to examine the jade boxes that Han Li had newly taken out.

After a while, the three people, having checked all the jade boxes in the air, took out containers such as large and small wooden boxes and jade bottles from their storage bracelets. Before long, Han Li was able to gather 70% of the materials listed.

The list he had given them was of the materials that the Qing Yuan Sect had requested but had not yet found. All of them were extremely rare, but they took out the materials without batting an eye.

This meant that they had made sufficient preparations for this trade. Otherwise, there was no way they would be carrying all these precious materials on their person.

Han Li carefully examined the materials they had taken out and put them in his storage bracelet. Then, Dan Tianren opened his mouth.

“Except for a few that are impossible to find, we will send cultivators to obtain the rest within ten days. Is that alright?”

“Of course.”

Han Li replied with a smile.

“Here is the Crystal Moon Liquid you wanted, so take good care of it. With this trade, Cultivator Han is really taking us three for all we’re worth.”

Cai Liuying joked and smiled, then slowly sent a black bundle and a small bottle shining with navy blue light, wrapped in a five-colored aura.

“Thank you, seniors!”

Han Li’s eyes sparkled as he took the bundle and the bottle. He roughly scanned the spirit stones in the bundle with his spiritual sense and put it away, but he examined the small navy blue bottle very carefully.

He opened the lid and scanned it several times with his spiritual sense, and even brought his nose close to smell it, and it was definitely the real thing. He carefully put away the Crystal Moon Liquid and said his goodbyes, not lingering any longer. The Body Integration stage old monsters also had no more time to chat with him and immediately let him go.

*Whoosh!*

The teleportation array flashed, and Han Li disappeared from the main hall.

“You two, step back first.”

Cai Liuying gestured to Liu Shui’er and Shi Kun.

“Yes!”

“Understood!”

They answered politely and left the main hall. When they reached the first floor of the pavilion connected by the teleportation array, Han Li had already disappeared. They looked at each other and smiled wryly.

“Let’s divide the spirit herbs equally as promised.”

Dan Tianren looked at the jade boxes floating densely in the air, revealing his excitement.

“Wait a moment. I remember that we agreed to divide them equally at first, but didn’t I pay for all the spirit stones and the Crystal Moon Liquid? My share should be 10% more.”

Cai Liuying also had an excited face, but she shook her head and stepped forward.

“You’re going to change your words now, saying you’ll take 10% more? Dan and I will compensate for the spirit stones later. And no matter how much the Crystal Moon Liquid is a sacred medicine for training the body, it’s not as valuable as 10% of the immortal spirit herbs. Choosing five more jade boxes should be enough.”

Tian Qizi also hardened his face and spoke coldly.

“I understand. You’re saying I can choose five more, right?”

Cai Liuying immediately agreed, seizing the opportunity, and smiled broadly. Tian Qizi flinched at this, but he had no choice but to shut his mouth since he had already said it.

Dan Tianren was just listening to their conversation from the side with a smile. The three of them happily divided the hundreds of jade boxes containing spirit herbs. Now there was nothing left in the air.
