Seeing Han Yi’s confusion, Liu Ruyan added.

“At first, we also suspected conspiracy, but the spirit stones paid in advance were genuine, and not counterfeited. Furthermore, in order to avoid any issues with the spirit stones, we’ve already handed them to other pill shops, who then purchased this batch of resources on behalf of us.”

After all the calculations, even without the final payment, we could at least earn over 10,000 high-grade spirit stones. If the final payment is included, it’s safe to say we will profit significantly.”

Han Yi nodded. Liu Ruyan had clarified things – regardless of any potential issues with this deal, the Profound Immortal Pavilion had already shifted the risk and eliminated potential pitfalls.

He handed the list to Liu Ruyan and asked, “Tell me, when and where will the transaction take place and how many people will be there from the other side?”

Liu Ruyan took the list and replied, “The location of the transaction is still undecided, but it should be somewhere between the eighth and ninth layers of Qian Du’s Immortal Court. The time has not been fixed either, but it should be within the next month.”

“They said they will inform us. Once we receive the notification, we need to rush to the agreed place, promptly settling both money and goods.”

“This is also one of the reasons we need support from the sect.”

“There is unpredictable risk involved.”

“However, the profit on this deal is substantially high, making it worth taking the risk.”

Liu Ruyan hesitated a moment, then added.

“I’ve done a secret investigation. The Yu family seems to be under pressure from another Golden Core family in Daqin and have encountered a dead end. That’s why they’ve discreetly approached us to buy this batch of cultivation resources.”

“However, I think it’s worth taking the risk.”

Han Yi nodded. He was suddenly a bit curious.

“By the way, this deal involves a massive amount of spirit stones. If the other party didn’t front the cost, does the Pavilion have the capacity to foot the bill?”

The Qiankun Ring that Han Yi got from Yuan Shun has already been handed over to the sect for management.

However, he did keep two spiritual talismans. He informed Qin Wuxian and Zhuge Wu You about these two talismans – respectively the Jiuxiao Profound Yellow Talisman and Spirit Saint Sacrificial Talisman.

According to his standard, if he couldn’t solve an issue by himself then a third-stage low-quality talisman and third-stage mid-quality talisman wouldn’t make a key difference either.

Therefore, he didn’t choose the Six Spiritual Beings Fallen Immortal Talisman or the Tri-Spirit Fallen Immortal Talisman, but instead took the third-stage high-quality talisman – Jiuxiao Profound Yellow Talisman, and third-stage quintessence talisman – Spirit Saint Sacrificial Talisman.

The former, if used at the right moment, can annihilate a late-stage Golden Core practitioner while the latter can even obliterate a Golden Core Peak practitioner with a certain probability.

In addition to these two talismans, Han Yi also kept a sword tool and a formation.

The medium-grade magic tool, Heavenly Cold Sword, is so cold that even now Han Yi can hardly bear it. Although the attribute isn’t compatible with Han Yi, it can still be utilized when executing the Sword Control Skill.

As for the third-stage mid-quality formation, it’s the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array.

This is a defensive formation that is simple and quick to set up. Han Yi valued this aspect, hence he decided to keep it.

Two talismans, one sword tool, and one formation were kept by him. Everything else was handed over to the Sect, and both Zhuge Wu You and Qin Wuxian agreed with Han Yi keeping these talismans.

For Xuandan Sect at present, Han Yi is seen as the next hope of the Sect. However,

The spirit stones in that Qiankun Ring amount to just over ten thousand, far less than the transaction amount this time. Han Yi seriously doubted whether the Profound Immortal Pavilion would be able to come up with so many spirit stones.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan shook her head.

“Of course not. Our current reserves amount to around one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones. This big deal from the other side involves 537,000 spirit stones which is more than five times our reserves.”

“If the other party didn’t provide an advance, and we didn’t shift the risk of spirit stones to others, I would not have agreed to this deal.”

Han Yi nodded approvingly. Liu Ruyan had a clear bottom line. She wouldn’t get blinded by the big deal, refusing to take on any risk that should not be borne. Nonetheless, she was willing to take reasonable risks as long as they were within manageable limits.

Appropriate ambition, but not blinded by greed.

This character trait was undoubtedly the reason the Sect’s higher-ups held her in high regard and allocated her a management position in the Profound Immortal Pavilion in Qian Du.

“Junior Brother Han, does your room in the Pavilion’s residence at the back still exist? You can live there for now.”

Han Yi nodded in agreement. He had nowhere else to go.

Moreover, he can’t leave this month. If the trading notice came and he wasn’t available, it would delay the business, making the trip a waste.

As for the whereabouts of Elder Brother Huo Ming, those could wait until the completion of this transaction.

Beyond the Profound Immortal Pavilion,

in a loft three miles away,

three figures were gathered in front of a bronze mirror. The scene in the mirror reflected the whole Profound Immortal Pavilion; a shadow landed into the Pavilion, after about a quarter of an hour, it departed to reside in a courtyard behind the Pavilion.

“Is it a Golden Core practitioner?”

“It matches, indeed it’s a Golden Core.”

“Heh, never thought that after our big brother lured one away, the Profound Immortal Pavilion is still unafraid of death and dares to bring in a second one.” “Indeed, our big brother’s method is too merciful. This time, let’s kill this Golden Core practitioner and earn a windfall.

“The people from the Yu family can really run. I can’t believe they made it all the way to Daqian Immortal City.”

“However, our big brother hasn’t returned yet. Is it okay for us to act directly?”

“Is there any issue? We also investigated the Xuandan Sect. This cultivator should be a newly advanced Golden Core practitioner named Han Yi. Any one of us three can eliminate him.”

“Moreover, once our big brother returns, he may not agree with our actions. If

so, a cooked duck (a sure thing) would fly away.”

“I just don’t understand why we had to work in a restrictive manner once we arrived in Daqian. We were freer in Daqin.”

“I don’t care anymore. Let’s just do it our old way: keep a close eye on the woman from the Yu family so she knows she can’t escape from our young master.”

One by one, these three cultivators dictated the life and death of Han Yi.

On the other hand,

when Han Yi returned to the Xuandan Sect’s quarters, he didn’t waste time on excessive thoughts and began cultivating.

To him, once he paused, cultivation became as habitual as breathing.

With a flip of his hands, a Formation Disk appeared.

The third-stage mid-quality formation, Great Mysterious Qiankun Array.

Han Yi activated the Formation Disk with his mana, placed it in the corner of the quiet room, and the array activated instantly..
