Chapter 704: Unprecedented Honor

Chapter 704: Unprecedented Honor

Here in the Gray Realm, Han Li made sure to be extremely cautious in everything that he did for fear of attracting attention, so he hadn't spread his spiritual sense very far up to this point.

However, following the Shadow Snake Tribe incident, he had developed a grasp on the power levels of the tribes on the Six Moon Grassland, and he knew that he could avoid detection as long as no unforeseen circumstances arose.

As he walked along, he inspected all of the wares laid out on the stalls that he passed by, and he quickly found a type of ore that also existed in the Immortal Realm.

However, this ore was also quite expensive in the Gray Realm, so there wasn't much resale value.

Right as he was about to continue his search, he suddenly raised an eyebrow as he cast his gaze forward, where he spotted two tall and imposing cloaked figures walking toward him.

Both of them were wearing some type of mask that could keep out spiritual sense, and even though their auras were being concealed, Han Li was immediately able to see through the concealment thanks to his tremendous spiritual sense, and he could tell that both of them wer Golden Immortals.

A pair of Golden Immortals posed no threat to the current Han Li, but Golden Immortals were quite rare in this setting, so they had to have at least been tribal chiefs.

The two figures seemed to have noticed Han Li's gaze, and they immediately lowered their heads and quickened their pace, vanishing into the crowd shortly thereafter.

Their sneaky demeanor only aroused more suspicion in Han Li, but he had no intention of investigating any further, and he continued onward.

In the end, he wasn't able to find much aside from the Bitter Ornament Herbs.

There were many things with price disparities between the two realms, but none as large as the price disparity for Bitter Ornament Herbs, so there wasn't much profit to be made unless such items were resold in bulk.

Han Li wasn't very surprised by this. After all, the two realms differed drastically, and it naturally wasn't going to be easy to find things that could be found in both realms and varied drastically in price.

Instead of continuing his search, he returned to the Gray Lizard Tribe's designated area, where he discovered that Shi Chuankong still wasn't back yet.

He returned to the tent, then summoned all of the scriptures that he had purchased earlier before reading through them one by one.

His top priority at the moment was to find a way to return to the True Immortal Realm.

Close to half a day passed by in the blink of an eye.

All of a sudden, Shi Chuankong emerged from the ground under the tent, and there was a faint smile on his face.

"You look like you're in a good mood, Fellow Daoist Shi. Have you found a way back to the Immortal Realm?" Han Li asked.

"I saw that there were many cheap materials here that could be sold for large profits in the True Immortal Realm, so I got caught up purchasing materials and forgot about finding ways to return to the True Immortal Realm. My apologies," Shi Chuankong replied in a slightly awkward manner.

"It's fine, we still have time. If we can't find a way back in this Six Moon Grassland, then we can try our luck elsewhere. By the way, I didn't think that you would be so interested in the business of buying and selling," Han Li said with a faint smile.

"It's not every day that I get to come to a new realm, and if I can make use of this opportunity, then I could make an absolute killing! As one's cultivation base improves, the amount of resources they'll need to support their cultivation will increase exponentially.

“There are many powerful immortals who end up stuck at a certain cultivation base for countless years, not because of any bottlenecks, but simply due to lack of resources," Shi Chuankong said with an excited look in his eyes.

Han Li's duo arrived at the stone platform with the Gray Lizard Tribe, and they looked up to find that there was a large tent set up to the north of the platform.

The tent was opened to reveal three elders of the San Miao Tribe sitting inside, alongside the chiefs of several of the Black Teeth Region's most prominent tribes.

Sitting at the very center of the tent was none other than Miao Xiu.

Her gaze roamed over the people gathered around the platform, and it lingered momentarily on the Gray Lizard Tribe before moving on again.

"Are you still looking for the powerful cultivator concealed within the Gray Lizard Tribe, Young Mistress?" Miao Kui asked in a low voice.

Miao Xiu shook her head in response.

"What an arrogant fellow he is! To think that he refused to show himself even after you visited him in person. Once the festival comes to an end, I'll be sure to capture him and bring him to you to apologize," Miao Kui said in a disgruntled voice.

"Don't talk about him like that, Cousin. He must have his reasons for not wanting to see me. As long as he doesn't harbor any sinister intentions, we should leave him alone and respect his decision," Miao Xiu said with slightly furrowed brows.

Despite this, internally, she was also a little irked by Han Li's refusal to meet her. At the same time, she couldn't help but wonder exactly what this mysterious powerful figure was like.

"You're right, Young Mistress, please forgive me," Miao Kui hurriedly apologized.

"It's about time. You can announce the commencement of the Saya Festival now," Miao Xiu instructed.

Miao Kui gave an affirmative response, then departed from the tent.

Upon arriving at the platform, he strode over to a black war drum and beat it thrice. The commotion below the platform gradually subsided, and only then did he declare, "I hereby declare the commencement of the Saya Festival. Which tribe would like to set their warriors up first to be challenged?"

As soon as his voice trailed off, two inky-black figures landed on the platform one after another.

"I am Wu Heli of the Bone Spike Tribe."

The first figure was a humanoid creature with their entire body covered in black scales, and there was a white bone spike protruding out of their face, elbows, and knees, presenting a fearsome sight to behold.

As soon as his voice trailed off, a chorus of loud cheers instantly rang out from below the stone platform, particularly from the Bone Spike Tribe, as if getting to step on the platform first was a huge honor for them.

"I am Mu Ze of the Water Tiger Tribe."

The second figure was a man with a human body and the head of a tiger, but there were gills on either side of his face.

The gills on his face were constantly moving, and there was a hint of excitement on his face. Compared with the chorus of cheers for Wu Heli, he seemed to be a far less popular figure.

"Would you like to fight to the death or until an outcome arises?" Miao Kui asked.
