A mortal cultivating immortality can nurture spirit beasts.

The name Wanbaolou suggests that the shop owner had great confidence in his goods, and indeed, that was the case.

In the original novel, the protagonist Han Li exchanged two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs for four treasures here.

A set of Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blades, a Xuan Iron Flying Sky Shield, a Heavenly Thunder Seed, and a Golden Light Brick Talisman.

These treasures are also very much needed by Linhe now.

"If I had the golden brick and the thunderbolt, I would be much more confident in dealing with that black dragon. Otherwise, with my current strength, it would be quite difficult for me to face it."

In the original text, when Han Li went to Old Man Xu to refine a magic weapon, he mentioned that the second-tier Ink Dragon, a spiritual beast of heaven and earth, even though it had just advanced to the second tier, was equivalent to a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator in strength, making it really difficult to deal with.

That's why Lin He spent so much time nurturing spirit beasts and then refining them into magical artifacts to sell, in order to obtain enough spirit stones to exchange for these treasures.

Moreover, Wanbaolou is also very honest. Han Li, a Qi Refining cultivator, brought two thousand-year-old spiritual herbs to exchange for treasures, and the other party did not send anyone to track and investigate. Their reputation is exceptionally good. You should know that thousand-year-old spiritual herbs are treasures that even Nascent Soul cultivators can use.

In the blink of an eye, Lin He had already arrived inside Wanbaolou. As soon as he entered, Lin He couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The bright hall in front of us can easily accommodate dozens of people. The counters are made of precious red paulownia wood, and there are seven or eight shop assistants. They are uniformly dressed and have a warm attitude, obviously well-trained, which is completely different from the disorganized small shops outside.

The counter was filled with all sorts of goods, a dazzling array that made one's eyes dazzled. However, Lin He didn't look at them much, because after just a glance, he found that they were all kinds of low-level magical artifacts, talismans, and materials, none of which were what he wanted.

At this moment, a shop assistant came over and said very enthusiastically, "What would you like to see, sir? We have all kinds of magical artifacts, talismans, and materials..."

Before the shop assistant could say anything more, Lin He interrupted, "I want high-quality magical artifacts and talismans. Don't bother introducing me to the things on the first floor."

Upon hearing this, the shop assistant was startled, then overjoyed, realizing they had encountered a big customer. They quickly led Lin He to the VIP room on the second floor.

A refined middle-aged man carrying an ancient book saw Lin He come upstairs, put the book down, and the shop assistant stepped forward, whispered a few words to the middle-aged man, and then went downstairs.

"I am Tian Buli, the manager of Wanbaolou. May I ask your name?"

"My name is Wang Yu!"

"Wang Yu? What a peculiar name," Manager Tian muttered to himself, but on the surface he spoke enthusiastically.

"So it's you, Brother Wang! Please have a seat!"

Manager Tian ordered tea to be served, but Lin He was in a hurry to exchange for the treasure and had no time to leisurely savor the tea. He quickly said,

"Manager Tian, ​​you can drink the tea slowly later. I came here specifically for Wanbaolou's reputation, and I hope your shop will not disappoint me."

"Hehe, Brother Wang is quite impatient. Please wait a moment, I'll be right back."

Not long after, Manager Tian returned with several brocade boxes of different sizes.

"I heard that Brother Wang wanted some exquisite magical artifacts and talismans, so I made a special trip to the treasure room and brought these treasures that I have kept for a long time."

After saying this, Manager Tian began to introduce the first three items one by one. In fact, Lin He was already very familiar with these items, but he still listened patiently to Manager Tian's explanation.

After introducing the first three items, Manager Tian stopped talking and instead gave Lin He a meaningful look.

Lin He understood what the other party meant. Wanbaolou had already demonstrated its strength, so Lin He should also demonstrate his wealth. Otherwise, if Manager Tian talked for a long time and Lin He wiped his hands and said that he did not have any spirit stones on him, wouldn't that be a waste of time?

Lin He smiled slightly, took out more than twenty mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, and casually placed them on the table. He looked nonchalant, as if it were just a small amount of money, a stark contrast to his behavior in front of the spirit beast stall owner.

Just now, I kept my wealth hidden to avoid attracting the attention of other cultivators and to prevent anyone from having thoughts of killing me to steal my treasure.

But the situation is different now. This is the VIP room on the second floor, with only Lin He and Manager Tian here. Most importantly, Wanbaolou has a very good reputation, so Lin He is not worried that the other party will send people to kill and rob him afterward. Putting on this posture is also a way of showing his financial strength and reassuring Manager Tian to do this business.

Sure enough, seeing Lin He's demeanor, Manager Tian knew he had encountered a wealthy man, and immediately greeted him with a broad smile.

"Brother Wang is indeed very wealthy and generous. I admire you. Now, let me introduce this fourth item to you."

"The Golden Light Brick Talisman is a talisman that sacrifices flexibility in pursuit of maximum power. It may not be as flexible as other types of talisman, but its power is extremely rare. Even a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be severely injured if he took a hit from it, if not killed."

Shopkeeper Tian explained with great enthusiasm, and Lin He couldn't help but nod. What he said was not an exaggeration. If the Ink Dragon, which was equivalent to the late Foundation Establishment stage, had taken a direct hit from this talisman, wouldn't it have died instantly?

After the explanation, Manager Tian asked with a smile, "These four items are the best treasures in our shop, especially the last talisman, which is our shop's prized possession. Brother Wang, what do you choose?"

Lin He stroked his chin and pointed to the four treasures, saying, "Manager Tian, ​​I am very interested in all four of these treasures and do not want to give up any of them."

Upon hearing this, Manager Tian did not get excited. Instead, he frowned and said, "Brother Wang, the Golden Cicada Mother Blade and the Xuan Iron Flying Shield are both priced at over three hundred spirit stones. In particular, this Heavenly Thunder Seed is priced at one thousand three hundred spirit stones. As for this talisman, it is priced at over two thousand spirit stones. The twenty-odd mid-grade spirit stones you have taken out are not enough."

Lin He didn't find the price strange at all. In the original story, Han Li exchanged a thousand-year-old spirit herb for a talisman, and that thousand-year-old spirit herb had been auctioned for more than two thousand spirit stones at a secret shop of the Tianxing Sect. Based on this, the price offered by Manager Tian was fair.

So Lin He took out a dozen or so mid-grade spirit stones from his storage bag, adding them to the twenty or so mid-grade spirit stones he had taken out earlier, for a total of forty mid-grade spirit stones.

Seeing this, Manager Tian couldn't help but take another look at Lin He, but since Lin He was wearing a cloak and a gray robe, he couldn't tell anything from him.

To be able to produce four thousand spirit stones in one go, the person must either be a member of a cultivation family or have a powerful backer. Manager Tian thought this to himself, but outwardly he said…

"Brother Wang, you are truly wealthy. Not to mention these two top-tier magic artifacts, my Heavenly Thunder Seed and Talisman Treasure are both incredibly powerful. I'm afraid four thousand spirit stones might not be enough."

"Manager Tian, ​​you are mistaken. This Heavenly Thunder Seed is indeed good, but it is a one-time consumable. Once it's used up, it's gone. Otherwise, why would it have been sitting in your shop for so long without being sold?"

Next came the time for bargaining. After much persuasion from Lin He, Shopkeeper Tian finally agreed to the deal for four thousand spirit stones.

After the transaction was completed, Manager Tian didn't forget to see him off to the door, saying warmly, "Brother Wang, if you need anything else in the future, please feel free to come to our store to choose."

"I'll definitely do it next time!"

Lin He smiled and agreed. After leaving Wanbaolou, he turned a corner and hid in a small alley not far from Wanbaolou.

After waiting for a long time, a young man with an ordinary appearance and dark skin walked into Wanbaolou. It was Han Li.

Lin He waited patiently for a while, and sure enough, he saw Han Li walk out of the shop with a gloomy expression. Then he went into another large shop not far away and came out again after a while. Han Li's expression was a little better, but it seemed that he had not found a treasure that he liked very much, because he did not leave immediately, but went to several more shops and came out with a disappointed look each time.

Seemingly giving up the search for treasure, Han Li used the Wind Control Technique to leave the market and quickly rode his leaf-shaped flying magic weapon back to Yellow Maple Valley.

Behind them, Lin He leisurely steered his flying spirit boat to catch up.
