Chapter 910: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure Chapter 907 Fire Melting Crystal Chapter 910: Volume 6 Heavenly Skill Spiritual Treasure Chapter 907 Fire Melting Crystal In the Heavenly Mechanism Chamber, Han Li saw that the Weeping Soul Beast wouldn’t be able to swallow the Heavenwide Corpsefire in a short amount of time, and after some thought, he finally put both the Weeping Soul Beast and the golden light barrier into his spirit beast pouch and walked out, restoring the stone house to its original size.
He returned to the main hall, gave back the Heavenly Mechanism Chamber to the middle-aged female cultivator, and then Han Li returned to the plaza.
By that time, it was already the afternoon, and the number of cultivators in the plaza had suddenly decreased by a small half, all of them having gone to another stone hall opposite the plaza to attend the auction.
Han Li didn’t hesitate any longer and walked directly towards the opposite side.
At the entrance of the great hall stood two cultivators in white robes.
As soon as they saw Han Li approaching, one of them said with a cupped fist,
“Esteemed cultivator, to prevent overcrowding, according to the rules, one must pay three Spirit Stones to participate in the auction.”
Upon hearing this, Han Li smiled, without saying a second word, he reached into his storage pouch, and three low-grade Spirit Stones appeared in his hand, which he handed over.
The expressions of the two cultivators immediately became cheerful, and after accepting the Spirit Stones, they promptly gave Han Li a palm-sized jade plate, stepping aside to open the entrance.
Han Li glanced at the jade plate in his hand, where in the center, a silver number ‘243’ was inscribed.
His face showed no sign of surprise, and he calmly walked inside.
After passing through a corridor about twenty yards long, four more cultivators appeared on the other side, standing in front of a foggy white gate irradiated with spiritual light.
When they saw Han Li coming, they looked him over a few times, their faces expressionless, and they didn’t say a word.
Han Li also ignored them, walked past, pushed open the gate, and entered the main hall.

Just as he entered the hall, he heard the voice of a man shouting,
“Five Hundred Years Phoenix Tail Flower, 790 Spirit Stones.
Okay, if there are no other bids, this Spiritual Medicine belongs to this cultivator.
Please, cultivator number 130, proceed to the back later to pay the Spirit Stones and collect the Spiritual Medicine.”
Only then did Han Li clearly see that the hall was packed with about two or three hundred people, each with a jade plate similar to the one he held, placed on the tables in front of them, flashing with dim silver numbers, clearly visible to anyone.
In front of the stone hall, stood a middle-aged man in a dark blue robe with a sharp look on his face, holding a jade box with its lid open, loudly speaking.
And in the box was an exceptionally bright purple Profound Heaven Immortal Vine.
The one who had bought the Spiritual Medicine inside the box was a fat old man sitting in the crowd.
As soon as the middle-aged man confirmed the auction result, the old man stood up, his face beaming with joy, and hurriedly walked toward a side door as if he couldn’t wait a moment longer.
Han Li, with a calm demeanor, glanced around and then walked towards an empty seat nearby.
The chair and table, white as snow, seemed like jade but were not, and this piqued Han Li’s interest.
After sitting down, he touched the white table in front of him and felt a warm sensation.
“This is…” Han Li pondered for a moment about the various types of jade and stone materials he remembered, but could not recall ever seeing such a material before, and the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a hint of surprise.
“Esteemed cultivator, is this your first time seeing Warm Stone?” A woman’s voice suddenly came from the side, seemingly with a slight chuckle.
“Warm Stone?” Han Li turned to look and then noticed that seated beside him were two young female cultivators who looked quite similar, like twin sisters.
The two women were dressed in yellow and green robes, not ravishingly beautiful, but they had an eye-catching presence.
The one who spoke and had made a joke was the green-robed woman sitting closer to Han Li, seeing Han Li’s action of touching the table and finding it somewhat silly.
“Sister, do not speak recklessly.
Esteemed cultivator, please do not take offense.
My younger cousin sister is out for the first time, and if any of her words are inappropriate, we hope you can forgive her,” hurriedly apologized the slightly older-looking woman among them, speaking up.
Cousin sister!
Not twin sisters as he had thought, which was somewhat beyond Han Li’s expectations; however, to have reached Foundation Establishment at such a young age, the aptitude of these two women must be quite exceptional.
With such thoughts, Han Li smiled and said indifferently,
“It’s nothing.
I’ve only heard of ‘soft jade’ before; this is indeed the first time I’ve encountered this kind of Warm Stone.
Do you know the detailed origins of this material?
It doesn’t seem to be a common one, otherwise, despite cultivating in a remote place, I wouldn’t be so ignorant.”
“Warm Stone, of course, cannot be compared to soft jade.
It’s not strange that the esteemed cultivator wasn’t aware of it before.
This peculiar type of stone is a special product of the Snow Ridge Mountains and cannot be found anywhere else.
Aside from its remarkable whiteness and warmth, there’s nothing particularly special about it compared to other ordinary stones.
But in the secular world, it still commands a higher price than common jade,” explained the yellow-robed woman with a smile.
“So it is, thank you for clarifying that,” Han Li nodded with a sudden realization in his eyes and then sat upright, watching as the middle-aged man auctioned off a top-grade magic tool.
Han Li’s behavior caught a brief glance from the green-shirted woman, whose lips curled slightly as if in disdain.
She seemed about to say something, but a stern look from her cousin silenced her.
Unconcerned with all this, Han Li quietly witnessed magic tools and medicinal herbs being auctioned off one by one.
Even though this auction held by the wealthy families wasn’t very high-end, even relatively low-level, Han Li was intent on using the auction to understand the price differences between the medicinal herbs and magic tools of Great Jin and Tian Luo, to better prepare for future searches for rare materials.
After observing quietly for a while, Han Li had a good understanding.
Clearly, both the medicinal herbs and magic tools in Great Jin were much more expensive than in Tian Luo, and the prices of the rarer items were even more outrageous.
He thought for a moment and then understood.
Although Great Jin’s territory was ten times larger than Tian Luo’s, its cultivation system was much more complete, and the number of cultivators was probably far more than ten times that of Tian Luo, leading to an even greater scarcity of spiritual artifacts and medicinal herbs.
However, relatively speaking, Great Jin was vast and rich in resources.
There were still many rare items that he had never seen before in Tian Luo or even the Scattered Stars Sea.
Just in the span of this brief auction, three or four types of materials had appeared whose use he didn’t know.
This delighted Han Li tremendously.
It seemed that if he visited several of the top-level city markets in Great Jin, it wouldn’t be impossible to gather all the rare materials he needed.
While Han Li was pondering, the middle-aged man on the stage suddenly brought out a tray.
On the tray were three deep red Crystal Stones, their shimmer as dazzling as raging flames, extremely eye-catching.
“Three Fire Melting Crystals, excellent materials for forging top-grade fire attribute magic tools, with a starting bid of five hundred Spirit Stones.
Those interested may start bidding,” said the middle-aged man in the dark blue robe with a smile as he announced the name, use, and price of the items on the tray.
Han Li glanced at them casually, intending to look away, but then his gaze sharpened, and he let out a light sound of surprise.
“What’s the matter, Han Li?
With your wealth, could you possibly be interested in these few Crystal Stones?” came the languid voice of Monarch Great Development.
“Crystal Stones?
Hard to believe even an elder might misjudge,” Han Li transmitted his reply with Divine Sense, smirking to himself, while loudly bidding “six hundred Spirit Stones” to join the auction for the three Crystal Stones.
“What, is there something special about these three Crystal Stones?
Although I’ve lost my cultivation, my Divine Sense is still present, and I wouldn’t believe there’s anything I’ve missed,” Monarch Great Development said with some disbelief.
“If we’re talking about experience and insight, I naturally can’t compare to you, elder.
But when it comes to knowledge of Demon Cores, I’m confident that there are few in the world who can surpass me,” Han Li said with an odd tone in his voice.
“What does this have to do with Demon Cores?” Monarch Great Development was taken aback by Han Li’s confident words and couldn’t help but ask in astonishment.
Had he not known that Han Li was not one to boast, he might have immediately thought Han Li had lost his mind.
“But since you said as much, there must be some reason behind it.
However, without a convincing explanation, I’d find it difficult to believe there’s anything peculiar about these three Fire Melting Crystals.
You should know that not only did I fail to notice anything unusual about these stones, but the cultivators responsible for identifying materials at the auction are all experienced, so how could they also misjudge such a commonly seen material?” After a brief silence, Monarch Great Development was still somewhat skeptical.
Hearing the doubt in Monarch Great Development’s words, Han Li’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he called out an even higher price.
This silenced other competitors and they gave way.
“Very well, eight hundred Spirit Stones.
The three Fire Melting Crystals go to bidder number two hundred forty-three.
Please, sir, proceed to the rear hall to pay for the Spirit Stones and retrieve your Crystal Stones,” the man said loudly with great pleasure after seeing the high price the Fire Melting Crystals fetched, glancing at the number on the jade plate in front of Han Li.
Han Li, upon hearing this, immediately picked up his jade plate and stood up, heading towards a side door.
A white-robed Qi Refinement Realm cultivator was already waiting there and quickly led Han Li through several turns to a small hall in the back, where a maid-like female cultivator served a cup of Spiritual Tea before departing.
Han Li looked at the tea but did not partake; instead, he calmly surveyed the arrangement of the hall.
Shortly after, a Foundation Establishment cultivator with deep-set eyes and a bald head entered.
“Forgive me for keeping you waiting, my friend.
Please, check if this is what you won at the auction!” the elder said with a smile as he entered and handed over the jade box that had appeared in the main hall earlier.
Han Li, without any ceremony, took it, opened the lid, and inside, indeed, were the three glowing Fire Melting Crystals.
Yet, with an unfazed expression, he carefully picked up each one with his fingers, examining them closely for a long time without saying a word.
