After Han Li, one Loose Cultivator after another took the stage to trade, either selling items, seeking treasures, or…

As Han Li watched, he organized his gains. This time, he had obtained three Eighth Grade Pill Recipes, namely the Qi-Returning Pill, the Qi-Gathering Pill, and the Root Consolidating Pill.

The Qi-Returning Pill was used to restore True Qi, with one pill able to recover one-fifth of Innate True Qi; the Qi-Gathering Pill could accelerate cultivation speed, though its effects were not as good as the Sea-Opening Pill, only expanding the Qi Sea by 2%; the Root Consolidating Pill was for consolidating one’s foundations, helping to quickly stabilize one’s realm after a breakthrough.

Han Li already possessed one Eighth Grade Pill Recipe for restoring True Qi, but its effects were inferior to those of the Qi-Returning Pill.

He was also interested in the Sea-Opening Pill recipe held by Li Deshun. One Sea-Opening Pill could expand the Qi Sea by 5%, allowing a cultivator to rapidly advance in cultivation level, yet the ingredients were exceedingly rare and valuable.

Han Li had obtained a few Sea-Opening Pills only after advancing to an Inner Sect Disciple of Tianxuan Mountain, and if he wanted more in the future, he would have to spend a large number of Contribution Values to exchange for them.

Besides the three pill recipes, he also had two Eighth Grade Refining Blueprints, which could be used to forge a Yellow Rank High Grade Artifact, the Tiger-Slaying Blade, and a Yellow Rank Supreme Grade Artifact, the Sun Splitting Spear.

This trip to the gathering of Loose Cultivators was indeed fruitful; once he refined these pills and Spiritual Artifacts continuously, he could obtain a large number of Spirit Stones, and the Han Mansion would not have to worry about insufficient cultivation resources for the time being.

One by one, the Loose Cultivators at the Pihai Realm finished their trades, but to Han Li’s disappointment, not another pill formula or refining blueprint appeared.

Soon, it was the twenty-fourth Loose Cultivator’s turn. Han Li looked over and couldn’t help but let a hint of amusement flash through his eyes.

This Loose Cultivator was none other than that rascal in the Innate Realm level nine.

The rascal was wearing a black cloak, with a veil hiding his face, barely revealing an aged visage.

Quickly, the rascal spoke up, his voice quite hoarse and deep, sounding like an old man.

“Fellow Daoists, this old one doesn’t have many years left and has lost interest in other matters. I only wish to exchange for a Pihai Pill to help my family cultivate a new Pihai Realm protector.”

“If any fellow Daoists have a Pihai Pill, please name your price. I am willing to spend all of my fortune to buy it.”

There was silence throughout the venue once again.

One Loose Cultivator could not help but scoff, “Has this fellow gone mad?”

“The Pihai Pill is incredibly precious. Although it’s useless for us in the Pihai Realm, who doesn’t have a family, relatives, or friends? Why would we trade with you?”

The other Loose Cultivators nodded their heads, agreeing with this sentiment.

Pihai Pill: Profound Rank Top Grade medicinal pill, capable of increasing the odds of an Innate Realm ninth layer peak cultivator breaking through to the Pihai Realm by fifty percent. Regardless of success, there are no side effects.

The Loose Cultivators present were very familiar with the grade and effects of the Pihai Pill; they had all once hoped to acquire one when they were stuck in the Innate Realm to breakthrough.

Such a heaven-defying pill was not even possessed by an esteemed Leizhou Sect like Tianxuan Mountain, and likely, only the Daqian Empire and sects within the top ten rankings had it.

If they could obtain a Pihai Pill, they would certainly not trade it, but would use it to nurture the next generation.

Having an additional Pihai Realm individual in the family would add two hundred years of glory, and perhaps even produce a genius who could cultivate to a high realm, allowing the family to continue to grow in strength.

Seeing the situation, disappointment appeared on the rascal’s face; he had gone through a lot of effort to get this news and sneak in, all for the sake of exchanging for a single Pihai Pill, but unfortunately, none of the Loose Cultivators here had one.

Han Li watched the rascal, smiling to himself; it turned out exactly as he expected—the rascal had come for the Pihai Pill.

Since this gathering of Loose Cultivators was comprised of Pihai Realm individuals and the items traded were needed by those of the Pihai Realm, what else could an Innate Realm cultivator who sneaked in possibly seek other than a Pihai Pill? The other items were of no immediate use to him.

Just as the rascal prepared to step back and allow the next Loose Cultivator to trade, Han Li suddenly spoke up.

“`

“I do have a Pihai Pill here, but I wonder what price you could offer for it?”

This Pihai Pill was obtained when the number of his descendants broke through one hundred. At that time, no one in the Han Family could use it, so he had put it away.

The other Pihai Pill, along with the Profound Rank Lower Grade martial skill [Cloud-Dispersing Palm], was obtained when the count of his descendants exceeded two hundred.

Because of inferior aptitude, Liu Yuexin and other concubines with such aptitude were stuck at the peak of the ninth level of the True Qi Realm, temporarily unable to break through to the Innate Realm; whereas the concubines like Li Mingmeng, who had Ninth Grade aptitude, were also in the True Qi Realm and hadn’t been learning from Han Li for long.

Yet, for Qiu Yueyao, a concubine with Seventh Grade aptitude, she had now cultivated to the eighth level of the Innate Realm. With her aptitude, breaking through the Innate Realm was easy, without the need for a Pihai Pill.

As soon as Han Li spoke up, all eyes once again converged on him, and the various Loose Cultivators realized the situation when they saw it was him.

None of the Loose Cultivators present had a Pihai Pill; only Han Li did, which further proved he had once acquired a great opportunity.

The previously mentioned cultivation techniques, weapons, and pills were just a portion; Han Li held even more treasures, such as the Pihai Pill, of which he surely had more than one. Perhaps he even had more valuable pills, like the Lifespan Extension Pill.

A living treasure trove!

The Loose Cultivators felt their hearts stir, and in their minds, they added another label to Han Li.

Without the power but daring to show off like this, what else could he be but a living treasure trove?

Some Loose Cultivators who had not initially planned to ambush him had now changed their thoughts, deciding to join the ranks of those plotting to kill Han Li.

With Han Li’s second-level Pihai Realm cultivation, he was unlikely to escape this calamity anyway, so they might as well share the spoils, eliminating the risk.

Li Deshun, who aspired to be the leader, had his pupils constrict, and he marveled inwardly at the abundance of treasures Han Li possessed.

He was somewhat tempted, but he could not make a move; otherwise, his reputation would be ruined. Who would dare to join a gathering of Loose Cultivators led by him in the future?

How then would he gather Loose Cultivators around him, uniting those in the Pihai Realm under his leadership to become their chief…

The rascal was momentarily stunned, and then excitedly said, “I am willing to trade all my possessions for that Pihai Pill.”

With those words, he took out an array of items—Spirit Stones, pills, weapons, cultivation techniques, Spiritual Medicines, and so forth, causing many in the Pihai Realm to look on with envy.

Yet no one said a word, and some Loose Cultivators even wore cold smirks, for if Han Li agreed, those cultivation resources would also be theirs.

“Not enough,” Han Li glanced at the offerings and uttered two words.

The rascal clenched his teeth, about to say something more, but then he heard Han Li continue, “But we can make a trade, I only need you to do one thing for me.”

Overjoyed, the rascal immediately said, “As long as it doesn’t involve sending me to my death, there’s no problem. I still want to live a few more years.”

“This rascal is quite convincing, always referring to himself as ‘this old fellow’ as if he’s afraid others won’t know he doesn’t have many years left,” Han Li mused to himself.

Han Li nodded; indeed, he had a task in mind but hadn’t found a suitable candidate yet.

Once this rascal had broken through to the Pihai Realm, he would barely meet Han Li’s requirements.

Han Li took out a Pihai Pill and completed the trade with the rascal.

Afterwards, the remaining three Loose Cultivators also took out their items to trade, none of which Han Li needed.
