The "White Yang Pill" was the most suitable medicinal pill for all people practicing martial arts and cultivating. Experts in the Divine Ability Secret Realm were also willing to treat it as food. It was also an outstanding item among all human-tier top-grade pills across all sects. It was an entity on the same level as the Yellow Spring Sect's "Blue Vault Great Pill", and their effects were not far apart; it was extremely precious.
Of course, if one could consume an "Origin Infant Pill", the chance of stepping into the Divine Ability Secret Realm would be much greater. However, the "Origin Infant Pill" was too difficult to obtain. In normal trades, one hundred "White Yang Pills" could only be exchanged for one "Origin Infant Pill".
Listening to Lu Mei's explanation, Fang Han gradually understood the specific details of some transactions.
For example, purchasing a top-grade "magical artifact", like a "Divine Movement Talisman", "Gale Talisman", or "Iron Armor Talisman"…, required tens to hundreds of "White Yang Pills". And a spirit artifact, such as a flying sword or dharma robe, required thousands or even tens of thousands of "White Yang Pills". As for precious artifacts, even ordinary ones, their prices were in the hundreds of thousands or even millions of pills.
Before long, Fang Han was brought upstairs into a solitary room.
Below the window of this room was a massive plaza, not inferior in the slightest when compared to the plaza where the Yuhua Sect held gatherings. The countless seats in the plaza were all filled with people. It seemed they were waiting for the people of the "Tiandao Pavilion" to display the treasures they intended to sell one by one, and then look for suitable opportunities to make a purchase.
As a Heavenly Human Realm expert, Fang Han was given a solitary VIP seat.
"There is still some time before our treasure selling convention begins. At this treasure selling convention, there are fully tens of thousands of various rare spiritual medicines and magical treasures, among which are many heavenly materials and earthly treasures containing five elemental essence, but they are quite costly. I see it is Senior's first time coming to the Great Xuan Empire, so you surely do not have White Yang Pills on you to make purchases. However, Senior is a strong practitioner of the Heavenly Human Realm, capable of casually refining spirit artifacts. Refining and selling one spirit artifact brings in hundreds or thousands of medicinal pills rolling in. I wonder if you would like to earn some small money to purchase treasures of five elemental essence?" Lu Mei said, checking Fang Han's expression.
"That won't be necessary, but I do have some items to sell. Please see what price they would fetch?" As he spoke, with a flick of Fang Han's hand, a pitch-black robe appeared. Printed on the robe was a sinister skull. This was a piece of clothing he had seized from the seven attendants of the "Spirit Young Master", and it was a low-grade precious artifact.
"Ah? A precious artifact level dharma robe?" Lu Mei was startled. She hurriedly took it and stroked it: "This is woven from the silk spat by a Black Jade Silk-Worm King over a thousand years old, and then refined with white bone essence to form a great array, integrated into the clothes. The magic power contained within it is about the force of a hundred horses. An ordinary person rhythmically forging it with a drop of blood and putting it on would be equivalent to a strong practitioner at the First Layer of the Divine Ability Secret Realm, the Magic Power Realm. This low-grade precious artifact is roughly worth three hundred thousand White Yang Pills."
"Three hundred thousand? Not bad, not bad. But three hundred thousand medicinal pills would take hundreds of large gourds to hold. How am I supposed to carry them?" Upon hearing this, Fang Han was quite satisfied with the price.
"Senior need not worry about this. We at the Tiandao Pavilion have countless branches throughout the Great Xuan Empire. We will give you a crystal card, and you can withdraw medicinal pills at any of our branches at any time. It is exactly the same as the silver notes in the secular world."
While speaking, Lu Mei took out a purple-crystal colored card from her sleeve. Text flowed ceaselessly on it, displaying a number: three hundred thousand.
"Very well!" Fang Han knew the credibility of the "Tiandao Pavilion" was very formidable. Once, giant figures of eternity from the Longevity Secret Realm had come to purchase medicinal pills. The "Myriad Worlds" recorded such an incident from several hundred years ago: The "Wilderness Great Emperor" of the Wilderness Demonic Sect arrived and wanted to purchase medicinal pills for the hundreds of thousands of disciples under his command, buying one billion pills all at once. He used several peerless-grade precious artifacts like the "Five Hells Royal Cauldron" in exchange. As a result, the "Tiandao Pavilion" indeed mobilized one billion White Yang Pills and gave them to the Wilderness Great Emperor within a single day.
At the time, this incident shocked all ten sects of the Immortal Path. Even the Taiyi Sect was not slightly surprised, realizing the capability of the "Tiandao Pavilion" for the first time.
Even the Medicine King Elder of the Yuhua Sect often came here to purchase medicinal pills.
One must know that the larger an Immortal Path sect was and the more disciples it had, the more medicinal pills it consumed. The Yuhua Sect consumed five hundred thousand medicinal pills a day, while the Taiyi Sect consumed five million.
Accepting this crystal card while giving the precious robe to Lu Mei, he casually flicked his hand, and neatly arranged on the table were identical precious robes one after another, totaling six.
"I have six more of these clothes. Let's just sell them all together."
"Ah!" Lu Mei stared blankly at these six robes, couldn't help but exclaim softly, and composed herself: "This involves a massive amount of over a million medicinal pills, I cannot make the decision. Senior, please wait."
After saying that, she hastily walked out quickly.
Fang Han was not in a hurry either, just leisurely savoring the tea. This VIP room was very comfortable. Jade table, with ambergris incense burning beside it. The tea water on the table was not made of ordinary tea leaves, but was infused with medicinal pills. Fang Han sniffed it and discovered it was actually water dissolved with the Taiyi Sect's Origin Infant Pills. Obviously, his treatment was indeed quite good.
Looking down from the window, many people were conversing in the plaza below, giving him a sense of lofty superiority.
This was the first time Fang Han felt the benefits of cultivating to the "Heavenly Human Realm". If he were still at the Fourth Layer of the Divine Ability, the "Yin-Yang Realm", he would probably be sitting clamoring together with a group of people below.
Just as he was pondering, the curtain suddenly moved, and a middle-aged beautiful woman walked in leading Lu Mei.
This middle-aged beautiful woman was wearing clothes sparkling with radiant light. With one look, Fang Han knew it was a top-grade precious artifact, no less than the Black Iron Battle Robe.
Moreover, this middle-aged beautiful woman, exactly like himself, was an expert at the Fifth Layer of the Divine Ability, the "Heavenly Human Realm", and could be addressed as a Perfected Person!
Fang Han was initially startled, not having expected to actually encounter such an expert. But thinking about how this "Tiandao Pavilion" could even satisfy the Wilderness Great Emperor's demand for one billion medicinal pills, having an expert of the "Heavenly Human Realm" was not unusual. They might even have Golden Core experts.
"Greetings, Perfected Person. I wonder how I should address you?" As soon as she walked in, this middle-aged beautiful woman stared at Fang Han and said, then introduced herself: "I am one of the principal managers of this Tiandao Pavilion, you may just call me Thirteenth Dame, Perfected Person."
"My name is Fang… Fang Leng." Fang Han hesitated for a moment: "I wonder if the Tiandao Pavilion can take in my remaining six dharma robes?"
Thirteenth Dame glanced at the six dharma robes on the table and smiled lightly: "Not to mention six low-grade precious artifacts, even if they were six supreme-grade precious artifacts, my Tiandao Pavilion might not necessarily be unable to take them in. Perfected Person Fang Leng, you must have seized these dharma robes by killing disciples of the Blood Shadow Demonic Sect. Because only the Blood Shadow Demonic Sect cultivates Black Jade Silk-Worm Kings over a thousand years old in large quantities, making it very easy to manufacture dharma robes."
"Mm?" Fang Han's face chilled.
"This is no big deal either. Our Tiandao Pavilion accepts treasures and does not care about their origins. Even if the Blood Shadow Great Emperor knew, he might not dare to come to the Great Xuan Empire to cause trouble; after all, the Taiyi Sect is here." Seeing Fang Han's displeased expression, Thirteenth Dame hurriedly explained: "One piece of clothing is three hundred thousand White Yang Pills. Here is a crystal card for one point eight million White Yang Pills. You can withdraw them at any time if needed."
While speaking, Thirteenth Dame handed over another crystal card.
Fang Han stored it in his sleeve, and Thirteenth Dame also put away the clothes.
In a single transaction, both parties gained benefits. Finding himself suddenly obtaining two point one million White Yang Pills, Fang Han was secretly shocked in his heart. He had never obtained so many medicinal pills in his life. The only time was in the Taiyuan Immortal Mansion, when he refined two hundred thousand Heavenly Demons, turning them into two hundred thousand "Blue Vault Great Pills".
But now, obtaining over two million medicinal pills all at once was truly astonishing; it was enough to supply the consumption of all the disciples of the Yuhua Sect for three or four days.
This "Tiandao Pavilion" truly possessed grand wealth and imposing bearing, truly extraordinary.
"I wonder if Perfected Person Fang Leng has anything else to sell? The treasure selling convention will begin shortly. There are many magical treasures in it, and even Earth-tier medicinal pills that increase one's lifespan. The more ample one's funds are, the greater the chances to obtain treasures." Thirteenth Dame said again.
"I do have a few more." Fang Han thought for a moment and took out all the flying swords and dharma robes he had obtained after killing the Island Master of Desperation previously.
Last time he killed the Island Master of Desperation, he obtained thirty-six flying swords and dozens of dharma robes. He used up quite a few in exchanges at the Wangui Sea Market, and after returning to the mountain, he bestowed some to the disciples under his sect, but there were still quite a lot left now.
"These spirit artifacts are all ordinary goods, but it seems they were just casually acquired by Perfected Person Fang Leng, just to exchange for pocket change. I will not be stingy either and take them all; how about two hundred thousand medicinal pills?" Thirteenth Dame said.
"It seems I have taken advantage." Fang Han did not bargain either and took it directly.
After this round of trading, Fang Han's body was swept completely clean. He took an inventory of himself. Aside from the two Dao artifacts, the Yellow Spring Diagram and the Blood Firmament, he only had three "Hundred Treasures Pouches" left, belonging to the three great true legacy disciples of the Taiyi Sect: Yao Dian, Xia You, and Yu Fen. These "Hundred Treasures Pouches" were also good items, which many people desired but couldn't obtain. They were worth at least hundreds of thousands of medicinal pills, but Fang Han couldn't take them out, otherwise leaving some clues for attentive people to track down would be bad.
Besides these, all that remained on Fang Han's person was a peculiar egg and over ten thousand "Origin Infant Pills".
That was found from the throne in his palace after killing the Seven Leaves Demonic Lord. He still didn't clarify what exactly this giant egg was, so he wouldn't sell it either. He'd decide when it hatched someday. Regardless, the giant egg contained powerful life essence; it was definitely no ordinary object.
With this inspection, Fang Han instantly knew he wasn't wealthy.
Seeing that Fang Han had nothing left to sell, Thirteenth Dame nodded to Lu Mei: "Lu Mei, you stay here and accompany the Perfected Person in watching the treasure selling convention. If there is anything suitable for the Perfected Person, just attend to it directly. I am going to host the treasure selling convention."
"Yes." After seeing Thirteenth Dame leave, Lu Mei said to Fang Han: "The treasure selling convention is about to begin. Senior, please look ahead!"
Fang Han looked over hastily. Sure enough, in the center of the plaza ahead was a massive altar. Tens of guards in yellow vests carried a jade box onto the altar at a slow pace. Inside the jade box, an eight-foot long chunk of divine iron sparkled brightly, and infinite Geng Metal energy transmitted from the divine iron.
"This is a block of Western Taiyi True Metal, exactly an item rich in five elemental essence, exactly what the Perfected Person needs to cultivate Metal element divine abilities." Lu Mei introduced: "This true metal is also an excellent material for refining precious artifact flying swords. The starting price is five hundred thousand White Yang Pills. Each bid increment is ten thousand White Yang Pills."
"Good item, ah, good item. Although not as good as the Great White Venus Stone, if you obtain this block of Western Taiyi True Metal, after refining it, the White Emperor Metal Sovereign Slash can increase in power significantly." "Yan" communicated mentally with Fang Han: "It's just too expensive! Five hundred thousand spirit pills, this Tiandao Pavilion really knows how to earn money!"
Sure enough, on that central altar, Thirteenth Dame appeared. The moment she spoke, she immediately suppressed many people who were ready to make a move. Half a million medicinal pills was fully enough to scare away ninety-nine point nine percent of the people.
"I'll take it!" Fang Han raised his hand without a second thought, gesturing to Lu Mei.
Lu Mei hurriedly shouted the bid.
Immediately, the gazes of many people below all looked toward the VIP room where Fang Han was.
"Sixty hundred thousand!"
Right at this moment, a voice suddenly transmitted from another VIP room.
