Plump, full, round as pearls, and crystal clear.
It carried spiritual energy several times denser than First-Tier white spirit rice.
"Well, consider this Second-Tier white spirit rice a meeting gift for you, Building Master."
Ye Hao responded with a smile.
"Alright, then I shall accept it."
"If you have any extra white spirit rice in the future, feel free to bring it to Wanliang Building as well."
Su Wan's heart stirred, and she immediately responded with a smile.
Generally speaking, Second-Tier white spirit rice was cultivated from First-Tier white spirit rice.
Even Baiyun Sect lacked full confidence in cultivating Second-Tier white spirit rice.
They mostly cultivated Red Crimson Rice, a type of Second-Tier spirit rice.
The fact that the other party could so easily produce ten jin of Second-Tier white spirit rice meant that the faction behind him very likely possessed the cultivation method for Second-Tier white spirit rice.
At the very least, only a Foundation Establishment family or even a Golden Core family possessed such qualifications.
What a pity he kept his identity hidden and refused to speak the truth.
Otherwise, she would definitely visit in person. Establishing long-term cooperation with his family would be a major blessing for the entire Baiyun Sect.
Still, this outcome was good enough. The first transaction had been a complete success.
And it hadn't left any bad impression on him.
"Building Master Su, when I have more white spirit rice next time, I'll be back."
"However, I will take my leave for today."
Ye Hao cupped his hands, then turned and left Wanliang Building.
After Ye Hao departed, Ge San quickly looked at Su Wan and whispered, "Building Master, should I send someone to look into him?"
"Forget it. Someone who can produce so much white spirit rice all at once, and even Second-Tier white spirit rice, has at least a Foundation Establishment or even Golden Core family behind him."
"Besides, we made a profit this time. There's no need to offend him over this."
"Of course, if you harbor any other ideas, don't say you belong to Wanliang Building when the time comes."
As she reached the end, Su Wan glanced at Ge San.
Her eyes were calm, but they carried a heavy warning.
Seven thousand low-grade spirit stones.
It wasn't a massive fortune, nor was it a small sum.
Even to a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like her, it was considered a substantial sum of wealth.
However, if Ge San truly ignored her words and went to provoke Ye Hao, she wouldn't protect him when things went wrong.
"Building Master, I understand."
Ge San replied with a flattering smile.
...
After leaving Wanliang Building, Ye Hao ducked into several alleys.
He changed his outfit multiple times.
Only after confirming that no one from Wanliang Building had followed him did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Friend, is there an auction being held in the city recently?"
After leaving the alleyways, Ye Hao walked for a bit. When he spotted Ah Li in a corner again, his eyes lit up, and he quickly walked over.
Ah Li paused slightly and hastily looked up.
Although the immortal before him had changed clothes, his voice remained familiar.
He hastily replied, "Immortal, there haven't been any auctions held in Baiyun City for the past few months."
"However, Baiyun City has a black market."
"Just head ten meters west after leaving Baiyun City, inside a valley."
"If there's anything you're looking for, Immortal, you can try your luck there."
"You sure keep yourself well-informed."
Ye Hao hadn't expected this little street thug to know so much.
"You flatter me, Immortal. I've lived in Baiyun City since I was a child, I just don't have a spirit root."
"Otherwise, I would have joined Baiyun Sect long ago."
Ah Li responded with a smile.
Relying on his knack for gathering information, he had quite a reputation in Baiyun City, which was enough to keep him fed.
"This is for you."
Ye Hao nodded.
He tossed another low-grade spirit stone to the young man.
"Thank you for the reward, Immortal!" Ah Li hurriedly caught it.
By the time he looked up, Ye Hao had long since departed.
...
"Oh?"
"Duobao Pavilion."
Ye Hao hadn't expected Baiyun City to have a Duobao Pavilion as well.
Without a second thought, he walked straight inside.
The interior layout was almost identical to Duobao Building at the foot of Baiyun Sect's mountain.
It was likely a standardized layout.
Inside were numerous jade counters, each selling corresponding items.
Pills, array formations, talismans, and spirit artifacts.
One could say they had everything imaginable.
Ye Hao walked over to a jade counter specifically selling talismans.
Behind the counter stood a black ironwood rack.
On the rack rested several talismans, with their respective prices listed below.
First-Tier high-grade Fireball Talisman: 100 low-grade spirit stones.
"This price is indeed the same as when I bought them at the market below the mountain."
Ye Hao nodded lightly.
Then he looked at the First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans beside them.
A First-Tier high-grade Fireball Talisman was enough to threaten cultivators at Seventh-Layer Qi Refinement and below.
However, Ye Hao had already reached Sixth-Layer Qi Refinement and possessed several great perfection-level spells, so he was confident in dealing with even Seventh-Layer Qi Refinement cultivators.
Thus, a First-Tier high-grade Fireball Talisman could no longer satisfy his current needs.
First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talisman: 250 low-grade spirit stones.
A single supreme-grade Fireball Talisman was enough to harm a Qi Refinement Great Perfection cultivator.
"Hello, I would like five First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans."
Ye Hao waved his right hand.
On top of the jade counter, 750 low-grade spirit stones appeared out of thin air.
Originally, he had wanted to buy ten right away.
However, on second thought, he still had the system yield coming tonight.
Five were already enough.
The attendant behind the counter had initially thought Ye Hao was just browsing and had no intention of speaking, so she hadn't bothered him.
She hadn't expected him to stay quiet at first, only to ask for five First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans the moment he spoke.
"Here are your five First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans, Immortal."
The attendant hurriedly counted the low-grade spirit stones on the counter.
After confirming the amount, she retrieved the Fireball Talismans.
She placed them respectfully inside a jade box and handed it to Ye Hao.
"By the way, why do you only have First-Tier talismans here? Do you not have Second-Tier talismans?"
After stowing the jade box away, Ye Hao looked at her curiously and asked.
The First-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans didn't give him complete peace of mind.
After all, above Qi Refinement was Foundation Establishment.
What if a Foundation Establishment cultivator targeted him when he went to the black market this time?
"Immortal, if you wish to purchase Second-Tier talismans, you'll need to go up to the third floor. That floor is specifically prepared for Foundation Establishment cultivators."
The attendant hastily explained.
"Thank you."
Ye Hao nodded, then turned and left.
Before long, he arrived on the third floor.
Compared to the bustling scene on the first floor, there were far fewer people on the third floor.
Most of the jade counters were unattended.
Soon, Ye Hao found an open jade counter that was selling talismans.
However, when Ye Hao saw the prices listed above, he couldn't help but gasp.
Second-Tier low-grade Fireball Talisman: 700 low-grade spirit stones.
Second-Tier mid-grade Fireball Talisman: 800 low-grade spirit stones.
Second-Tier high-grade Fireball Talisman: 1,200 low-grade spirit stones.
Second-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talisman: 1,500 low-grade spirit stones.
Adding the spirit stones from before to what he had now, Ye Hao had a total of 22,500 low-grade spirit stones on him.
If he spent all of it on Second-Tier supreme-grade Fireball Talismans, he could buy fourteen at most.
After thinking it over, Ye Hao could only spend 4,500 low-grade spirit stones to buy three of them.
He then spent another 4,000 low-grade spirit stones to purchase three Second-Tier supreme-grade Golden Light Talismans.
Once activated, it could form a layer of golden light over one's body, resisting attacks from a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection cultivator for an hour.
"Finally, a slight sense of security."
