"Lead the way," Shi Chuankong said casually.

The green-robed maid hurriedly answered and led the way. Soon, she brought the two to a private room and served all kinds of rare fruits and fragrant tea for them to taste.

"This is the Wuguo Tea, a specialty of the Shihuan Mountain Range. It tastes pretty good. You can try it," Shi Chuankong introduced.

Han Li picked up a cup of fragrant tea with white mist floating around it, took a sip and nodded.

At this moment, the door of the private room opened slightly and a young woman in a pink dress walked in. This person had completely transformed into a human, with a face like a peach blossom and a slender figure. There were no non-human features on her.

"Sorry to keep you two waiting. I am the manager of the Floating Gold Pavilion, Mei Lan." The young woman in pink smiled and walked in slowly.

As she walked, pink flowers floated in the void around her from time to time, emitting an orchid-like fragrance.

Han Li raised his eyebrows slightly. This young woman in pink's cultivation was not low. She had reached the peak of the Golden Immortal realm and was only one step away from the Primordial realm. Moreover, her original form was probably a tree demon and her cultivation technique was quite extraordinary.

However, with such a high cultivation level, she was actually a small manager of the Floating Gold Pavilion. It was a little strange.

In the next moment, he immediately understood. This was most likely one of the Floating Gold Pavilion's methods of doing business. They would send out people with a much higher cultivation than the customers to receive them. This way, they would gain the upper hand in terms of momentum, and then they would be able to easily take the initiative.

However, this kind of small trick was naturally useless against Han Li and Shi Chuankong. The two sat there and drank their tea, their eyes did not waver.

"May I know what you two esteemed guests are here to buy?"

Mei Lan saw the two's expressions and was secretly shocked. However, she did not show it on her face. She sat opposite the two and said.

"I heard that the Floating Gold Pavilion is one of the largest shops in Blackfeather City. Therefore, I came here to do a big business with you. This is the deposit, please accept it in advance, Master Mei Lan."

Shi Chuankong leisurely put down the teacup in his hand and flipped his hand to take out a storage bracelet and threw it over.

Mei Lan was stunned when she heard this. Her eyes showed surprise, but she still took the bracelet.

She probed it with her Divine Sense and a look of shock immediately appeared on her face.

Inside the storage bracelet were 500,000 Demon Origin Stones. They were neatly stacked together, and it was an extremely shocking sight.

"It is my Floating Gold Pavilion's honor to be able to receive the favor of two esteemed guests. May I know what kind of big business you are referring to?"

Immediately, Mei Lan realized that she had lost her composure. She quickly composed herself and reluctantly put down the storage bracelet.

When Han Li saw this scene, a smile flashed in his eyes.

Mei Lan wanted to intimidate the two of them with her powerful cultivation, so Shi Chuankong decided to give her a taste of her own medicine. He threw out a huge sum of money to gain the upper hand.

The two of them had silently entered into a battle, and Shi Chuankong faintly gained the upper hand.

As expected of someone who had graduated from the Vast Origin House, he was well-versed in business.

"We're here to buy a batch of high-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade," Shi Chuankong said without beating around the bush.

"Purple Sun Warm Jade?" Mei Lan's expression changed when she heard this. Then, she fell silent.

"What's wrong? Is your pavilion not interested in this business?" Shi Chuankong's expression darkened.

"Esteemed guests, please don't misunderstand. We naturally want to do this business, but the supply of Violet Sun Warm Jade is scarce. Let alone high-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade, we don't even have mid-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade," Mei Lan said with a troubled expression.

"I know that this treasure is scarce.

How about this, no matter how much the Violet Sun Warm Jade is, we are willing to increase it by 30%, but the goods must be of good quality, "Shi Chuankong muttered and knocked on the table with his finger.

"You're exaggerating. I'm not using this opportunity to raise the price. What I've just said is the truth.

Esteemed guests, you shouldn't be locals of Black Ferret City, right?

I'll say something impolite, but the two of you don't understand the situation of the Violet Sun Warm Jade.

It's true that our city produces Violet Sun Warm Jade, but the production is extremely low. Most of it is controlled by the Black Ferret King, and only a small portion of it is leaked outside.

Although our pavilion is one of the largest shops in Black Ferret City, we only have a small amount of Violet Sun Warm Jade, and they are all low-grade. "Mei Lan laughed bitterly.

When Han Li and Shi Chuankong heard this, their faces darkened.

"So you're saying that your pavilion has no other way?" Shi Chuankong was silent for a moment, then slowly said.

"I'm really sorry. If it was any other goods, it would be fine. But regarding the Violet Sun Warm Jade, our pavilion is really powerless. I hope that you two esteemed guests can forgive us," Mei Lan sighed and said.

"If that's the case, then we won't force you." When Shi Chuankong heard this, he took back the storage bracelet.

Mei Lan watched helplessly as the storage bracelet was taken back and sighed inwardly.

"Manager Mei Lan, you just said that your pavilion has some low-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade. Why don't you take it out and let us have a look?" Han Li, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said.

"Alright, please wait a moment, I'll go and get it." When Mei Lan heard this, her eyes lit up. She immediately stood up and walked out with quick steps.

After Mei Lan left, Han Li waved his hand to set up a soundproof enchantment around the two of them and asked, "Fellow Shi, do you think what Mei Lan said is true?"

"When I was talking to that woman just now, I secretly used a secret technique. This technique can detect the truth of a person's words to a certain extent. According to the secret technique, that woman shouldn't be lying," Shi Chuankong said.

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to buy high-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade." Han Li frowned and said.

"We'll do our best and leave it to fate. If we really can't buy it, then there's nothing we can do.

Violet Sun Warm Jade is divided into three grades: low-grade, mid-grade, and high-grade. There's a huge difference between each grade. Low-grade Violet Sun Warm Jade has an ordinary effect on the soul. Even if we buy it, it won't be of much use, "Shi Chuankong said indifferently, as if he didn't care too much.

"Regardless of whether it's high-grade or low-grade, since this item might be useful to the Weeping Soul Beast, we can't miss it," Han Li said indifferently.

The Violet Sun Warm Jade was related to the Weeping Soul Beast's recovery. No matter what, they had to buy it.

Shi Chuankong smiled and didn't say anything.

After that, the two of them didn't speak anymore. They seemed to be considering something.

After a while, the sound of footsteps came from outside.

Han Li raised his hand and removed the surrounding restrictions. The door to the private room was pushed open and Mei Lan walked in. She was holding a purple square jade box in her hand.

"I've made the two of you wait for a long time. These are all the Violet Sun Warm Jade in our pavilion. Please take a look." Mei Lan placed the jade box in front of Han Li.

Han Li opened the jade box. There were 20 to 30 fist-sized purple crystals inside. They emitted a faint purple light and looked extremely beautiful.

However, there were some flaws on these crystals that spoiled the overall feeling. Moreover, the purple light emitted by the crystals became impure.

He picked up a purple crystal and felt warm in his hand. Moreover, there was a wave of heat that passed through his body and into his mind, wrapping around his soul.

His soul immediately felt as if it was bathed in a warm spring breeze. It felt abnormally comfortable.

He was delighted. This Violet Sun Warm Jade was indeed beneficial to the soul. It should be effective for the Weeping Soul Beast.

"Although these Violet Sun Warm Jades are low-grade, they are still very good. What do you think?"

Mei Lan couldn't help but ask when she saw Han Li holding a piece of Violet Sun Warm Jade and not speaking for a long time. It was as if he was daydreaming.

"How much are you selling these Violet Sun Warm Jades?" Han Li placed the Violet Sun Warm Jade back into the jade box and asked noncommittally.

Mei Lan glanced at Han Li and thought for a moment. Then, she quoted a price that was 10% higher than the market price.

"Deal."

When Han Li heard this price, it was still within his expectations. He was too lazy to bargain and nodded in agreement.

Han Li had killed Tie Yu and the others and taken their storage artifacts. Now, he had quite a number of Demon Essence Stones on him. This amount of Demon Essence Stones was nothing to him.

He flipped his hand and kept the purple jade box. Then, he took out a storage ring and handed it to Mei Lan.

"Thank you for your patronage." Mei Lan scanned the storage ring with her divine sense and a smile flashed in her eyes.

After the transaction was completed, Han Li and Mo Tiange did not stay any longer. They quickly bid farewell and left.

Mei Lan personally sent the two of them out of the Floating Gold Pavilion. She performed the proper etiquette before returning.

"Seniors, did everything go smoothly?" Lu Xie had been waiting by the roadside. When he saw the two of them coming out, he immediately greeted them.

"There are some things that you shouldn't ask. Don't talk too much. Focus on leading the way to the next shop." Shi Chuankong glanced at him and instructed in a slightly cold voice.

"Yes."

Lu Xie's body trembled and he hurriedly agreed. Then, he did not ask any more questions and drove the beast carriage forward. Soon, they stopped in front of a towering shop.

Han Li and Mo Tiange got off the beast carriage and walked straight into the towering shop. After an hour, they came out again.

"Let's go to the next shop." Han Li instructed indifferently.

Just like that, the two of them went to six or seven large shops before the sky turned dark and swept away all the Violet Sun Warm Jade in their storage.

After nightfall, in a room of an inn in the city.

Han Li formed a hand seal and waved. Array flags flew out from his sleeves and landed everywhere in the room. Several layers of restriction light curtains appeared and enveloped the entire room.

After doing this, his expression relaxed. A silver light flashed in his hand and a silver door appeared.

Han Li stepped into the door and entered the Flower Branch Space.

Inside the pavilion of the Flower Branch Space, the Weeping Soul Beast was lying on a bed, still unconscious.

At this moment, her face was snow-white and her cheeks were faintly translucent. From time to time, wisps of black Qi would float out from her body and dissipate in the air.

Han Li's expression changed slightly when he saw the Weeping Soul Beast's state.

The Weeping Soul Beast's condition was much worse than when he had come to check on her a few days ago. Moreover, the speed at which her body's Yuan Qi was dissipating had increased significantly.

He immediately took a deep breath and regained his composure. He waved his hand towards the table beside him.

A blue light flashed and five or six jade boxes of various sizes appeared on the table. They were filled with Violet Sun Warm Jade. There were more than two hundred of them.

These Violet Sun Warm Jade were all low grade, not a single one was of medium grade.

Although he didn't manage to buy any medium grade Violet Sun Warm Jade, with so many low grade Violet Sun Warm Jade, it should be of some use.

But such a sweeping purchase of Violet Sun Warm Jade had probably already attracted the attention of some well-informed people in Black Ferret City.

Fortunately, Black Ferret City's trade was prosperous and there were many foreign merchants coming and going. There were also many merchants like them, so the two of them were not very conspicuous.

However, he had already discussed with Shi Chuankong that they would stay for another day tomorrow to purchase Violet Sun Warm Jade. No matter what the result was, they would immediately leave this place to avoid unnecessary trouble.
