My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

Soon, Meng Chuan noticed an inconspicuous shop on the street corner.

The storefront is small, and the signboard is somewhat old, with the words "Bai Cao Tang" written on it.

The shop is located in a rather remote area, and few passersby notice it.

Meng Chuan hadn't paid any attention at first and was about to walk over when he caught a glimpse of a yellowed notice posted at the shop entrance, with four characters written on it—

"Acquiring rare and precious items."

He paused, hesitated for a moment, then turned and went inside.

The shop was dimly lit, and the air was filled with the aroma of various medicinal herbs.

There were a few bottles and jars scattered on the shelves, and business didn't seem to be very good.

Behind the counter sat an elderly man in a gray robe, with gray hair and a thin face, engrossed in reading a yellowed ancient book.

Hearing footsteps, the old man looked up and glanced at Meng Chuan: "What would you like to buy, sir?"

Meng Chuan glanced around the shop and casually asked, "Shopkeeper, do you have any rare and precious herbs that can nourish the internal world? I don't want low-grade stuff, I want the good stuff!"

I just bought and tried the low-end one; it had negligible effect on the improvement of his internal microcosm.

The old man put down the ancient book in his hand, looked him up and down, and said, "Nourish your inner world? Is the guest a saint-level expert who has opened up his inner world?"

Meng Chuan did not answer directly, but simply nodded.

The old man immediately broke into a warm smile: "Since you've found my little shop, it's quite a coincidence. To tell you the truth... I do have some low-grade rare and precious herbs here."

"However, judging from your tone, you're not asking for anything ordinary..."

He then changed the subject, saying, "Those things, I don't have here, and you can't even buy them in any shop on Wanfa Island."

Meng Chuan's gaze sharpened slightly.

The old man reached under the counter and pulled out a jade slip, casually tossing it to Meng Chuan: "This contains records of some rare and precious natural treasures and rare medicines, as well as their characteristics and effects."

"I suppose the customer wants this kind of high-end, top-quality stuff?"

Meng Chuan took the jade slip and probed it with his divine sense.

The next moment, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind.

"World Tree Sapling - It can take root in the inner world, absorb the chaotic energy to nourish the world, and make the world grow rapidly."

"The Chaos Lotus Seed - when planted within the body, it can nurture chaotic energy and accelerate the evolution of the world."

"Nine Heavens Breath Soil - Contains endless earth element essence, which can greatly expand the territory of the inner world."

"Time Sands - Containing the essence of the laws of time, they can be used to comprehend the laws of time and also to assist in the fusion of the laws of time with other laws."

"The Myriad Laws Fusion Liquid - can greatly reduce the difficulty of fusing laws and has a remarkable effect on fusing multiple laws."

……

Meng Chuan became increasingly alarmed as he looked at the document.

The things recorded in this jade slip are all incredibly extraordinary!

Picking out any one of these items would probably cause a bloodbath!

Of all these legendary treasures, he had only ever seen the "Nine Heavens Breath Soil," which he obtained from under the innate gourd vine of Mount Buzhou in the primordial era and later gifted to Houtu.

After a long while, Meng Chuan withdrew his divine sense, returned the jade slip to the old man, and took a deep breath: "Shopkeeper, where... can I buy these things?"

The old man shook his head and gave a wry smile: "Buy? You jest, sir. Every single one of these items is a priceless treasure, priceless and unavailable on any market. Let alone buying them, you probably couldn't find many like them on the entire Wanfa Island."

Meng Chuan frowned slightly: "What does the shopkeeper mean by showing me these?"

"What I want to tell customers is that truly good things are not displayed and sold in shops."

The old man looked at him meaningfully, "Generally speaking, these rare and precious natural treasures can only appear at large auctions. Moreover, every time they appear, they attract countless powerful individuals to compete for them, and the prices are often ridiculously high."

Meng Chuan remained silent.

Another auction!

It seems that these kinds of rare and precious natural treasures, like the elixirs that fuse with the laws of nature, are extremely rare.

The old man continued, "Besides that, there is another place where you might also find these things—"

He pointed out the window to the towering main tower in the center of Wanfa Island: "The 'Bounty Hall' on Wanfa Island is where various bounty missions are posted all year round."

"Some of the most challenging missions may offer these rare and precious natural treasures as rewards. If you are confident in your abilities, you might want to check them out."

Meng Chuan followed his gesture and looked up at the majestic main tower in the distance.

The Hall of Rewards...

He wrote down the name.

"Thank you for your guidance, shopkeeper."

Meng Chuan bowed in thanks and turned to leave.

After leaving Baicaotang, the sunlight shone on me, warm and pleasant.

"World Tree sapling... Chaotic Azure Lotus seed... Nine Heavens Breath Soil... Time Sand... Myriad Laws Soul Fusion Liquid..."

Meng Chuan silently recited these names, a burning light flashing in his eyes.

He must find a way to get these things!

Even just one of these items could make his strength increase by leaps and bounds!

He put away the jade slip, determined the direction, and walked towards the towering main tower in the center of Wanfa Island.

The Hall of Rewards is right there.

In the center of Wanfa Island, there is a huge plaza covering an area of ​​great size.

In the center of the square stood a magnificent black hall, above which, on a plaque, were three large characters written in a flowing, elegant style—

Bounty Hall!

People came and went at the entrance of the main hall, with cultivators constantly entering and exiting.

Some people had happy expressions, obviously having completed their tasks and returned to collect their rewards; others had solemn expressions, seemingly worried about some extremely difficult task.

Meng Chuan stepped into the main hall and glanced around.

The interior of the main hall is extremely spacious, with a dome reaching tens of feet high, and thick stone pillars supporting the entire building.

The surrounding walls were covered with huge light screens, which displayed a variety of bounty missions.

In the center of the main hall, dozens of long tables were set up, and behind each table sat a bounty hunter dressed in black, receiving cultivators who came to receive or assign tasks.

Meng Chuan walked to a light screen and looked up.

The tasks on the light screen are divided into four levels according to difficulty: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow. Each level is further subdivided into three grades: Upper, Middle, and Lower.

Most yellow-level missions are just errands and odd jobs, with the lowest pay, usually just some fragments of low-grade divine crystals, not even a single low-grade divine crystal.

The Xuan-level missions have become more challenging, such as hunting down certain demonic beasts whose cultivation level has not yet reached the Saint level, or collecting ordinary rare and precious materials and common medicinal herbs. The rewards have also been increased to the level of low-grade divine crystals.

Earth-level missions are already quite difficult, often requiring the strength of a saint to complete, and the rewards are usually mid-grade divine crystals or some ordinary rare and precious materials.

In addition, there are even higher-level "Heavenly Rank Missions"!
