I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 570: Chapter 273: Nine Radiant Immortal City, Seventh Black God_3

Old man Gu Li, faced with Han Yi’s suspicion, showed no impatience, but instead, let out a smile.

“My daomate should know that this Purple Cloud Pavilion branch in Jiu Yao City, on the top of this loft, houses two spiritual treasures. These two spiritual treasures serve as the anchors of this branch.”

“If you truly wish to purchase, I can report to our sect and ask the elders to negotiate with you.”

The elder mentioned by Gu Li was a post within the Purple Cloud Sect, and any cultivator that held this post was a true monarch cultivator.

Han Yi waved his hand, naturally, he couldn’t afford a real spiritual treasure. However, unlike what he did in the Illuminating World, he didn’t beat around the bush but directly asked: “Aside from spiritual treasures, does your pavilion possess any ‘Half-step Treasures’?”

Old man Gu Li nodded, his face lit up with joy. With his many years of experience, he could naturally tell that Han Yi was genuinely interested in making a purchase.

“Of course, we do.”

“However, ‘Half-step Treasures’ are quite unique. Though they are not on par with real spiritual treasures and lack a touch of core spirit, they are much more powerful than top-grade artifacts.”

“Their price is not cheap. If you pay with top-grade spirit stones, the price starts from two million. And if you pay with top-tier spirit stones, the price needs to be further discussed, but it should be somewhere between fifty to one hundred.”

“What do you think, Daomate?”

Han Yi’s brows furrowed, not because the price was inappropriate, but because it was about 10% cheaper than the price he had understood from Bao Zhe Sheng’s memory of the Supreme Pavilion.

The exchange rate between top-tier spirit stones and regular spirit stones in the shopkeeper’s quote was not 1:100. To be precise, top-tier spirit stones had transcended the realm of ordinary spirit stones and could be considered as miraculous items.

His worry was due to the sudden realization that if he had to pay a large number of spirit stones, or even top-tier spirit stones to return to the Yu Heng World, spending ahead on a ‘Half-step Treasure’ would leave him with no funds for inter-realm travel.

It seems that the purchase of the ‘Half-step Treasure’ needs to be postponed.

Han Yi shook his head regretfully and said: “I’m sorry, but this is too expensive. I’m afraid I’ll have to reconsider.”

On hearing this, Gu Li’s gaze flickered dimly, filled with indescribable emotions.

“Then what else do you need, my friend? Top-class artifacts? Or fourth-stage formations? Perfect Pills? Or perhaps fourth-stage talismans?”

Han Yi cleared his mind, and without contemplating the purchase of things, he directly cut to the chase and spoke his mind.

“There’s no need to hide it from you, Shopkeeper. I wish to go to other worlds of the cultivation realm within the Beidou Region, specifically the Yu Heng World. May I ask if the Purple Cloud Sect has a passageway that travels between these two realms?”

This was in the territory of the human race, and Han Yi naturally didn’t need to feel fear and trepidation as in the Evil Clan. With his current strength, as long as he didn’t encounter a Nascent Soul Late Stage or an unusually powerful Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, he was confident of at least saving his own life.

Therefore, he didn’t hesitate like before but laid out the matter straightforwardly to avoid any obfuscations.

“A passageway between two worlds? Leading to the Yu Heng World?”

Gu Li was stunned. Han Yi’s demand was certainly something he had never come across before. He frowned, shaking his head without thinking.

“No, I’ve been in Jiu Yao City for over seventy years, and I’ve never heard of a passageway between two worlds in this city, let alone one that leads directly to the Yu Heng World.”

“May I ask why you wish to travel to the Yu Heng World, daomate?”

Upon hearing this, Han Yi’s expression grew cold.

Realizing his mistake, Gu Li apologized repeatedly; as a shopkeeper of a commercial group, such probing was indeed a major taboo.

Han Yi waved his hand, not pursuing the matter further, but found it strange that the Purple Cloud Pavilion indeed had no information about the inter-realm passageway.

However.

There are as many as seven human faction powers in the Tianquan World, and each of these powers has numerous immortal cities. He refused to believe that other immortal cities or other powers did not have information.

With that thought, Han Yi remained silent and stood up to leave.

Behind him, the elderly man, Gu Li, wore a faint smile. He walked into one of the side rooms in the loft. A moment later, he emerged and started attending to the other cultivators who had walked into the room.

On the other side.

After leaving the Purple Cloud Pavilion, Han Yi visited the second largest business firm in this Immortal City, named Tian Hai Pavilion.

Upon entering Tian Hai Pavilion, Han Yi was received by a Golden Core shopkeeper.

This time, Han Yi didn’t ask about the Spiritual Treasure. Instead, he directly mentioned that he came from the Yu Heng World and had stumbled upon an opening in space which led him to the Tianquan World. The spatial crevice that transported him had closed after ejecting him, making it impossible for him to return the same way. He voiced his desire to return to the Yu Heng World.

The Golden Core shopkeeper, appearing young, was the youngest-looking shopkeeper Han Yi had met. Typically, to gain the customers’ trust at first glance, large business companies prefer elderly individuals with seemingly rich experience as shopkeepers.

After hearing Han Yi’s request, the young shopkeeper showed no extra emotions and responded.

“To my knowledge, speaking of us, the human clan cultivators, there are no passages between the two realms near the frontline of the war,” he said.

This first very cautious statement of the young shopkeeper made Han Yi’s eyes shine.

If there are no passages near the frontline, does it mean that there are passages behind the frontline?

Seeing the change in Han Yi’s expression, the young shopkeeper nodded.

“That’s right, as you may have guessed, I have heard of passages between two realms in the stable Immortal Cities behind the frontlines. However, whether they lead to the Yu Heng World, I don’t know,” he said.

“Anyway, I only heard this secret by chance in the Purple Cloud Immortal City. For more details, I suggest you make a trip to the Purple Cloud Immortal City,” he added.

Regretfully, the young shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders, and Han Yi had no choice but to give up.

Upon exiting the Tian Hai Pavilion, Han Yi felt slightly clueless, but he swiftly dismissed the thought. He had overcome plenty of challenges– one more wouldn’t make a difference. The moment of confusion passed.

He visited the other top five businesses in Jiu Yao City but made no new discoveries. None of the shopkeepers, even the Golden Core ones, knew anything about the passages between the two realms.

Three days later, Han Yi had no choice but to leave Jiu Yao City. He flew out of the city using his Immortal Boat, moving away from the war front. His goal was the Purple Cloud Sect, mentioned by the Tian Hai Pavilion’s Golden Core shopkeeper –- the largest Immortal City in the Purple Cloud Sect’s territory, the Purple Cloud Immortal City.

This Immortal City, objectively far away from the war front, is one of the seven supreme cities of the human clan. The information that couldn’t be found in Jiu Yao City might be found in the Purple Cloud Immortal City.

If the attempt fails, Han Yi would continue to look for the passages in the other six cities of the Seven Human Clans; he believed he would find the information about this passage eventually.

The moment Han Yi left the Jiu Yao City.

Seven figures emerged from the void.

“Yu Heng World?”

“This fellow is most likely from the same place as us, the Yu Heng World.”

“Just like us, he might have stumbled into a space crevice while being pursued and experienced life and death situations getting through the spatial storm to reach this realm. If we catch him and interrogate him, we might benefit from it.”

“Eh, we have explored every corner of this Purple Cloud Sect territory, even in Purple Cloud Immortal City, info regarding the link between the two worlds turned out to be a sham. Seeing as the direction this little fellow is flying towards is the Purple Cloud Immortal City, he would have the same idea as us, and he will surely come back empty-handed.”

“That’s right. Worse case scenario, based on Gu Li’s words, this fellow has enough Spirit Stones to afford a half-step treasure and even real Spiritual Treasure. ”

“If we rob him, even if we can’t go back, our brother could buy a half-step treasure, and perhaps ascend to Nascent Soul cultivator with it. The half-step treasure will then evolve into a genuine Spiritual Treasure, undoubtedly raising our status. Even if we cannot return to the Yu Heng World, we will live a fulfilling life in the Tianquan World.”

In the middle of these seven cultivators stood a middle-aged man, whose aura was unfathomable and terrifying, no less inferior than Han Yi. He was also a Golden Core Peak cultivator.

Besides, If Han Yi was there, he would undoubtedly identify that these seven were the infamous Robbing cultivators from the Purple Cloud Sect’s territory, known as the Seventh Black Gods.

“Let’s go, keep up with him, we need him alive.”

The middle-aged cultivator waved his hand lightly, releasing a top-grade Artifact Level Immortal Boat. The seven figures boarded the boat, which turned into a meteor and sped in the direction of Han Yi.
