“Manager He?”

“Hmm?”

“Has the appraisal been completed?”

He Fangwei nodded, his gaze falling on Han Yi: “Fellow Daoist, you are truly blessed and lucky. To be honest, I have never seen this spear before.”

Han Yi revealed an expression of understanding. There were countless cultivators in the world, and magical weapons were even more diverse and complex. It was impossible for He Fangwei to have seen every single one of them and recognize them all. It was normal for him not to have seen this weapon before.

“However,” He Fangwei changed his tone, “Upon my appraisal, this spear has several distinctive features.”

“Firstly, it is made of a special material. The spear is entirely made of a unique metal called Hengyang Red Gold, which is suitable for forging high-quality magical weapons.”

“Secondly, this spear has a strand of Daqian Immortal Country’s national fortune on it. Its former owner must have had a close relationship with the Daqian Immortal Country. Inside the spear, there is a sealed Qianxuan snake soul, which is fused with that strand of Daqian national fortune, making it extremely powerful.”

After saying these two things, He Fangwei pointed at the spear with an unprecedented solemn expression: “This is not an ordinary top-grade magical weapon; it is a custom-made exclusive weapon. Furthermore, it has surpassed the category of top-grade magical weapons but has not yet reached the high-quality magical weapons. If we have to categorize it, we can call it a half-step high-quality magical weapon.”

“Fellow Daoist, arc you sure you want to sell this weapon?”

After hearing He Fangwei’s words, Han Yi suddenly hesitated.

However, after some thought, he nodded firmly. Indeed, the weapon was not suitable for him. Moreover, regarding the grade, he still had a real high-quality magical weapon, the Golden Light Shuttle, in his possession.

The quality of magical weapons lies in their suitability for the user, not in the quantity or accumulation of useless weapons.

’Til sell it. But, what is this Daqian national fortune that Manager He mentioned earlier, and what is the Qianxuan snake?”

Han Yi had known before about Hengyang Red Gold, an extremely rare metal that combined both hardness and toughness, making it one of the main materials for forging high-quality magical weapons.

As for the Daqian national fortune and the Qianxuan snake, he had no knowledge of them. He took this opportunity to inquire and expand his knowledge.

“The so-called Daqian national fortune, as the name suggests, refers to the fortune of the Daqian Immortal Country. The vast immortal Country is related to the fortune of Daqian, and even we have a bit of it; although it is extremely faint, almost non-existent.”

“The strand of national fortune on this spear is at least at the level of a duke or marquis, only achievable through refining. It means that the master of this spear had a close connection with a certain duke or marquis of the Daqian Immortal Country, most likely their offspring.”

“Fellow Daoist, you must be careful. The Daqian Immortal Country might possess mysterious immortal techniques that can trace causality back to you.”

He Fangwei’s final words made Han Yi’s heart tighten.

He never would have thought previously that the brawny youth he killed actually had such an identity.

However, having killed him, he had no regrets.

In the competition of Immortal Path, showing mercy would only lead to one s own demise.

“Thank you for enlightening me, Manager He. Please help me appraise the price.”

“This spear is a bit troublesome to sell, as there are some complicated formalities involved, and some operations need to be carried out. Therefore, 1 can only appraise its price at 900 medium-grade spirit stones. What do you think, Fellow Daoist?”

Normally, the price of a top-grade magical weapon would range from 100 to 1,000 medium-grade spirit stones.

The spear being appraised at 900 medium-grade spirit stones already exceeded Han Yi’s expectations.

“No problem, sell it.” Han Yi replied decisively.

“Also, are there any top-quality sword weapons in Manager He’s store? I’d like to make a purchase.” Han Yi added.

“Yes, yes, we have top-grade sword weapons and even high-quality sword weapons at Jiulong Commerce.”

A smile spread across Manager He’s face.

Selling a magical weapon, he could make a profit; buying a magical weapon, and he could make another profit. This fellow daoist was truly a lucky star.

Two full hours passed.

Han Yi walked out of the Jiulong Shop, his face satisfied, but also with an inevitable twinge of pain.

On this trip, he sold his spoils, including the Blood Soul Banner, inner armor, Silver Scale Fan, and the long halberd, earning a total of 1,535 middle-grade Spirit Stones.

This sum of money was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator with weaker financial means.

However, Han Yi then purchased a Sword Tool.

The top-grade magic weapon — Shadow Bearing Sword.

This Sword Tool, from the top-tier refining sect Wild Tool Sect, cost Han Yi 700 middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Then, Han Yi bought a scries of Spiritual Talismans, all of which were middle-grade Spiritual Talismans at the least.

Explosion Symbol, God Movement Talisman, Escaping Talisman, Protecting Body Talisman, Yin Thunder Talisman, etc.

Among them, the Explosion Symbol and God Movement Talisman were middle-grade Spiritual Talismans, and the Protecting Body Talisman and Escaping Talisman were all high-grade Spiritual Talismans. As for the Yin Thunder Talisman, it was a top-grade Spiritual Talisman.

Last time during the Evil Mountain Range trip, Han Yi had proven that the Yin Thunder Talisman was indeed useful and worth buying.

This time, he chose to repurchase it and bought two directly, spending 400 middle-grade Spirit Stones, making He Fangwei smile from car to ear with a cunning merchant look on his face.

After a shopping spree like a tiger, Han Yi’s earnings from this trip were reduced to just over 300 middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Adding to the original 200-plus Spirit Stones he had, he now possessed over 500 middle-grade Spirit Stones, speaking only of Spirit Stones.

And if you account for the five storage bags and one Qiankun Bag he hadn’t opened yet, as well as the Wind Demon Dagger, the newly acquired Shadow Bearing Sword, and numerous Spiritual Talismans, his wealth would make any Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivator envious.

This time, the transaction amount was more than double the previous one, but after years of trading with the Jiulong Shop, they have become acquainted. Especially after Han Yi entered the inner sect, he had also secretly inquired about the Jiulong Shop’s creditworthiness and was fairly confident in them.

Carrying a full load, Han Yi intended to seclude himself for a few days and wear off the restrictions on the Qiankun Bag. He was very curious about the Qiankun Bag and was more curious about it than the other four storage bags for eighth layer Qi Condensation cultivators.

But when he arrived at the courtyard, Han Yi met Luo Yunzhou waiting there.

“Junior Brother Han, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”

“The sect suddenly issued an order that the second and third batches of inner-door disciples going to the Evil Mountain Range to hunt evil beasts have been brought forward. The second batch is set to go in seven days, and both Junior Sister Yan Ru and I will be in this batch.”

“I’ve been waiting here to ask Junior Brother Han for advice on your experiences.”

“Come, the Spirit Wine and delicacies have been prepared, and I’ve been waiting for Junior Brother Han for a long time.”

Han Yi nodded and did not refuse. However, he was puzzled by the advancement of the sect’s mission.

A moment later, Han Yi followed Luo Yunzhou to the Yi Xian Building. This time, Luo had reserved a private room. Inside the private room, Yan Ru had been waiting for a while.

Seeing Han Yi’s arrival, Yan Ru stood up, and her cold face grew warmer.

The trio sat down.

Han Yi suddenly asked, “By the way, isn’t Junior Sister Qi Hong here?”

In these years, Qi Hong and Yan Ru had become close. Qi Hong was in the third batch and, logically speaking, if they were inviting Han Yi to share his experiences, Qi Hong should be present.

Yan Ru shook her head, “Junior Sister Qi Hong didn’t come down from Vermilion Bird Peak. She said she would ask her fellow Senior Brother on Vermilion Bird Peak for advice. So, this time, we didn’t invite her.”

Han Yi nodded and didn’t ask any further.

“Hurry up and start.” Luo Yunzhou was getting a little anxious.

Han Yi was in no rush. He took a sip of Spirit Wine, thought for a moment, weighed his words, and said solemnly, “This mission is very dangerous..”
