Chapter 616

In the following half a day, Han Li visited several tens of shops in succession, but the results were all the same. There were even many shopkeepers who advised him to make other plans as soon as possible, saying that even though this item had appeared in Gathering Moon City before, the probability of it appearing again was less than one in ten thousand.

Every time, Han Li would express his thanks and continue on his way to another house.

At dusk, the sky was getting dark, and Han Li came to the Jade Kun Building that the Hot Flame Immortal mentioned before.

Slightly different from what he imagined, this Jade Kun Building was not a magnificent building, but just an octagonal tower that occupied a relatively large area. It had red walls and green tiles, and there were bells hanging at the corners of the building. It had a bit of the simple charm of the mortal world.

At this time, the door on the south side of the tower was tightly closed, and there was a sealing talisman with the imprint of the Black Mountain Immortal Palace on the outside.

After some inquiry, Han Li found out that this Jade Kun Building was not a merchant organization, but a venue specially used for auctions. Moreover, it would only open once every three thousand years during the city's founding celebration.

And there was still about two or three hundred years before the next opening.

Thus, Han Li found a rather private immortal inn in Mount Gathering City and rented a temporary cave abode for the time being. During the day, he would go out to search for treasures, and at night, he would enter seclusion to cultivate.

Time passed in a flash, and five or six years had passed.

He found nothing in the search for "Xuan Zhi Crystal", but he knew a lot about the market of this Jukun inner city.

This place was worthy of the name "gathering of immortals and merchants". There were various kinds of spiritual materials and spiritual medicines, and the number of various puppets and magic weapons. It was far better than any big city in the Northern Frost Celestial Realm.

And in terms of quality and price, this place actually had a big advantage.

Compared to the arbitrariness of the pricing of goods in the Impermanence Alliance, this place was obviously more formal and more standardized. Therefore, in the process of searching for the Xuan Zhi Crystal, Han Li sold a lot of immortal weapons and spiritual materials that he did not need. He also bought many auxiliary materials for refining pills, including the "Evil Spirit Pill".

But he didn't dare to buy too much. He only bought one or two portions of each type of medicinal pill's supplementary ingredients. After all, if he really came across the Profound Zhi Crystal in the future, who knows how many immortal essence stones he would have to spend.

Although he had made a windfall in the Netherfrost Immortal Mansion before, after hundreds of years of consumption in the Savage World, as well as the gifts he gave to Jin Tong and Xiao Bai before leaving, plus the consumption in this city during this period of time, he was left with less than five hundred thousand Immortal Meta Stones.

This amount of Immortal Origin Stones sounded like a lot, and in fact, it was indeed a lot. However, it had shrunk by more than half before he entered the Wilderness. Such a speed of consumption caused even Han Li to feel slightly unable to bear it, and he resolved to be more meticulous in the future.

Until today, he had basically searched most of the major shops in the city, but there was no news of the Xuan Zhi Crystal at all. His previous cultivation was also delayed a lot, so Han Li left Gathering Mountain City and returned to Wild Crane Valley again.

His days in the valley naturally continued to follow the name of "wandering clouds and wild cranes", peaceful and comfortable.

Less than half a year after returning to the valley, Master Jing Yang suddenly sent him a letter, inviting him to the Forgotten Ripple Pavilion in the valley for a gathering. He said that the "Zi Mei Niang" that he had brewed previously had reached its maturity, and he wanted everyone to come and have a taste.

Han Li originally wanted to decline, but that guy sent him three consecutive letters, so he had no choice but to leave the cave abode.

The Forgotten Ripple Pavilion was located in the depths of Wild Crane Valley, and it was the closest to Mo Wuxue's cave abode. It was a waterside pavilion built in the middle of a lake in the middle of a deep green pond. The area was not too big, but the richly carved beams and painted rafters were exquisitely constructed, giving it a unique flavor.

By the time Han Li arrived at the Forgotten Ripple Pavilion, everyone else was already there.

Duan Yuzai and a few others were sitting around a stone table in the waterside pavilion. There were some immortal fruits and spirit vegetables on the table, and there was a jade wine pot next to them. It was filled with dark purple wine that emitted a rich wine fragrance.

Yu Ziqi, who had changed into a snow-white robe, was slightly further away from them. He was burning sandalwood incense and sitting cross-legged behind a guqin. His slender fingers plucked the strings, and his eyes were filled with a warm smile. From time to time, he would look at the only woman in the pavilion.

"Fellow Li, in this Wild Crane Valley, only you have good taste, and you like this item as much as I do. If you didn't come, wouldn't it be too hurtful to me?"

Master Jing Yang complained when he saw that Han Li had arrived late. He was holding a crystal clear emerald green wine cup in his hand.

"Haha, what are you talking about, Fellow Jing Yang?

I've only just returned from Kun Gathering City, and I still have some matters to attend to. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to shirk my duties. Please forgive me, everyone, "Han Li said with a smile as he cupped his fist in a salute.

"I heard that Fellow Li went to look for the Heart Flower Stone. Did you find anything?"

A beautiful woman in a snow-white dress with a graceful figure bowed slightly at Han Li as a form of greeting and asked at the same time.

"Thank you for your concern, Fairy Mo. I came here for nothing. I didn't find anything," Han Li said as he shook his head with a wry smile.

"That old friend of mine also sent a letter. He said that he had already asked around, but there was no news of the Mystic Zhi Crystal," Duan Yuzai, who was still dressed in neat black clothes, said.

"This matter can't be rushed. Everything depends on fate.

Haha, let's not talk about this today. We can't let Fellow Yu's Song of High Mountains and Flowing Water and Fellow Jing Yang's Lady Purple Charm wine go to waste. "Han Li laughed and changed the topic.

"That's right, that's right!

Fellow Li, have a drink first. "Master Jing Yang smiled as he poured the purple wine into the emerald cup that he had prepared and handed it to Han Li.

After Han Li took it, he brought it to his nose and sniffed it gently. He said slowly, "Hundred Leaves Fragrance, Whirling Fruit, Purple Flower Bodhi … Fellow Jing Yang is really generous. You actually added so many good things to this jug of fruit wine."

"Impressive. After you sniffed it, I almost couldn't keep the recipe of the wine anymore. You actually told me everything. How did you do it?" Master Jing Yang exclaimed in surprise.

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing … Come, continue drinking!" Han Li said as he shook his head calmly.

When he was at Torch Dragon Path, he had interacted with Daoist Huyan for a long time and had tasted all kinds of good wine. The two of them had also communicated a lot about wine making, so Han Li's sense of smell and taste were trained this way.

When everyone saw this, they also smiled and chatted with each other. The atmosphere became even more lively.

When they were enjoying themselves to the fullest, Master Jing Yang suddenly said to Hot Flame Immortal Venerable with a proud face, "Hehe, Old Hot Flame, you have been in Gathering Kun City for so long, have you ever participated in the Jade Kun Pavilion's auction?"

"That's a grand event that is held every three thousand years during the city's founding celebration.

The number of participants is limited each time, and the 'Gold Jade Silk', which is used as an admission ticket, is even more difficult to obtain.

I still remember that the previous auction was unprecedentedly grand. There were people selling this silk in the market, and the highest price was 600 immortal meta stones. The key was that there was a price but no supply.

Tsk tsk, 600 immortal meta stones is only enough to go in and take a look. Although I'm the Great Elder of Fire Leaf Sect, I can't waste resources like this. Naturally, I haven't been there before. "Hot Flame Immortal Venerable glanced at him and said.

"Hehe, so you also haven't seen the 'Gold Jade Silk'?" Master Jing Yang said with a smile.

"Old man, what are you trying to say?" Hot Flame Immortal Venerable frowned and asked.

"I want to broaden your horizons …"

While speaking, Master Jing Yang waved his palm. Golden light burst out from his palm and a palm-sized golden leaf appeared.

The golden leaf seemed to be woven from extremely fine golden silk. There were various patterns of birds, beasts, fish and insects on it. In the middle of it stood an octagonal tower.

Han Li's gaze swept over it and immediately recognized it. It was Kun Jade Pavilion.

"This is … impossible. There are still more than two hundred years until the next celebration. This Gold Jade Silk can't be circulated so early." Hot Flame Immortal Venerable straightened his body and had a look of disbelief.

"What?

Do you think that my Gold Jade Silk is fake? "Master Jing Yang's old face darkened and said unhappily.

"Of course I know it's not fake. This Gold Jade Silk is made by Mount Bai Zao using a secret method. This kind of craftsmanship cannot be replicated anywhere else. Plus, there is Black Mountain Immortal Palace's supervision. Who would dare to replicate it?

Isn't that courting death?

But it's precisely because of this that I find it unbelievable. "Hot Flame Immortal Venerable shouted.

When Han Li heard the words "Mount Bai Zao", his heart slightly moved.

He was no stranger to this Immortal World sect. Back in the Spiritual Realm, he had cultivated their cultivation method "Hundred Meridian Treasure Refinement Method". He had also heard of this sect's name many times.

It was said that it was one of the top giant refining sects in the entire Immortal Domain. It had branches in many large Immortal Domains. Its strength and influence were unfathomable.

Seeing this, Yu Ziqi also stopped playing the zither and stopped behind Mo Wuxue.

Seeing that everyone's gazes were focused on him, Master Scenic Yang's expression suddenly changed. He imitated Han Li and slowly shook his head while calmly saying, "It's not worth mentioning, it's not worth mentioning..."

Hot Flame Immortal Venerable spat and said: "You old man, you don't have any good intentions in inviting us to drink today. I'm afraid you're here to show off your Golden Jade Silk, right?"

Master Scenic Yang tilted his head back and drank another cup of wine. He shook his head as he said, "Not at all, not at all … I only took out this piece of gold and jade silk to tell Fellow Daoist Li that I'll keep an eye out for him in the upcoming Jade Kun Building auction. If there's another Xuan Zhi Crystal for sale, I'll definitely buy it for him."

Hot Flame Immortal Venerable suddenly revealed a mischievous smile and said: "Old man Jing Yang, if that's the case, why don't you help him to the end and directly give this Golden Jade Silk to Fellow Li?"

"Well … During the auction, I also want to see if there are any treasures that I like, hehe …" Esteemed Jing Yang choked when he heard that. As he spoke, he smiled and put away the gold and jade silk without batting an eyelid.

Han Li was actually moved by Hot Flame Immortal Venerable's words, but he did not say it directly. Instead, he transmitted his voice to Master Jing Yang:

"Fellow Jing Yang, can you give this Golden Jade Silk to me?

Whether it is Immortal Meta Stones, pills, or magic treasures, just tell me. If you have it, I will not refuse. If I don't have it, I will try to find it for you. Even those rare wine recipes that you have been drooling over, I can give them to you. "
