Chapter 677: Fallen Demon Valley
"This ring has yet to recognize its master, so the divine abilities it can unleash are limited. However, fellow cultivators here are all discerning people; you won’t be fooled. I plan to use this ring to exchange for a bottle of pill that promotes cultivation for nascent soul stage cultivators. If one is available, I just want to take a look at the pill," the woman calmly said as she transformed the Constraining Immortal Ring back to palm-sized, holding it in her hand without haste.
Although everyone present already had their own signature magical treasures, it was not impossible to cultivate other divine abilities through additional magical treasures. Moreover, unclaimed treasures like this could be purchased for disciples to use.
Magical treasures forged personally by nascent soul cultivators were naturally far superior to those made by ordinary foundation formation cultivators.
Most cultivators were not skilled in forging magical treasures, and even at the nascent soul stage, that rarely changed. So, once this treasure appeared, many tempted cultivators stepped forward to exchange.
The woman picked a pill from one of them and smoothly completed the exchange.
It seemed that although the Constraining Immortal Ring was worth far less than the Crimson Essence Ganoderma, it was actually easier to exchange.
One cultivator below, without waiting for True Immortal Tianjing to invite him, stood up on his own.
"This time, I have a box of Star Steel Sand, and I intend to use it to..."
The exchange proceeded smoothly without any disruptions. One after another, the nascent soul cultivators presented rare and precious items far beyond what Han Li had previously seen in the market district. Any one of these items could easily bankrupt an ordinary foundation formation cultivator, and they might still not be able to obtain them.
At their level, only fellow cultivators of the same stage had suitable items for exchange.
Of course, not everyone succeeded in exchanging. A few failed because their items were too obscure, or even though their offerings were good, the desired exchange items were simply too rare.
However, these old nascent soul cultivators were all clever. It was basically impossible for any uneven-value bargain to occur.
Fire Dragon Attendant Boy and Lv Luo, both standing ahead of Han Li, also presented their exchange items.
Fire Dragon Attendant Boy took out a bowl-sized tricolor wonderflower, a material used in pill refining. Though not as rare as the Crimson Essence Ganoderma shown earlier, it was still uncommon. However, he hoped to exchange it for a "Poison Talisman Wood" material, which unfortunately no one present had. Disappointed, he sat back down.
Lv Luo’s exchange was very successful. He traded a bottle of spiritual herb juice—something Han Li had never heard of—for an unclaimed fiery red short sword, though it was unclear who it was meant for.
Given his age, it was unlikely he planned to spend time cultivating it further.
As soon as Lv Luo finished, it was Han Li’s turn.
Recently, Han Li had successfully acquired the Crimson Essence Ganoderma from a brocade-robed cultivator, which made many present glance at him twice.
Han Li stood with a calm expression, already holding two pale jade boxes in his hands.
"I have one level 6 water attribute demonic beast core and one level 6 fire attribute demonic beast core, as well as two thousand spirit herbs. I only want to exchange them for one piece of Geng Essence. If no Geng Essence is available, then information about its whereabouts is also acceptable for exchanging one of the items in the boxes."
As soon as Han Li finished speaking, he shook his hands slightly, and under the flicker of azure light, both jade boxes opened simultaneously.
Two demonic beast cores—one red, one blue—and two fresh green spiritual herbs appeared clearly within the spiritual awareness of the cultivators.
"Geng Essence?"
Han Li’s words just came out when the cultivators around showed strange expressions.
