On the twelfth day of arriving at Profound Immortal Pavilion, the Sound Transmission Stone lit up, indicating that it was time for the trade with Liu Ruyan.

Han Yi put away the Great Mysterious Qiankun Array, then pushed open the door of his room and flew up into the sky, landing on top of Profound Immortal Pavilion.

Before Liu Ruyan could speak, Han Yi pondered and said:

“I have thought about it, and I’m still uneasy. The danger of this trip must be significant. Give me the proof of our transaction, and I’ll go by myself. It will be faster and safer this way.”

During these twelve days in the quiet room, Han Yi had reconsidered the matter. With his sharp intuition cultivated over several decades, he could sense various problems with the trip.

However, as Liu Ruyan had said, the profit from this trip was not small and important to Profound Immortal Pavilion.

Moreover, for the Pavilion to have stayed open for so long and to continue to do so, integrity was essential. It would never steal a client’s Spirit Stones, as such actions would lead to self-destruction.

Originally, Liu Ruyan was to accompany Han Yi on this trip. However, as her cultivation level was only at the Foundation Building Middle Level, she would not only provide no help in the face of danger but would actually be a burden.

It was better for Han Yi to go alone.

Upon hearing Han Yi’s words, Liu Ruyan thought for a moment and nodded. A quick round trip was indeed the best option. She handed over a Qiankun Ring to Han Yi and took out a jade-colored token. The token was palm-sized, with a silver”?” character engraved in the center, shimmering with light.

She looked at Han Yi with a solemn expression on her face.

“Junior Brother Han, you must not be careless. Although this risk is worth taking, if you encounter unbeatable enemies, you can directly use the Spiritual Talismans and magical treasures in the Qiankun Ring. Do not be restricted.”

Han Yi took the Qiankun Ring and held the “?” character jade token that shimmered with silver light in his hand.

Then, Liu Ruyan gave Han Yi an address which surprised him. The address was not in Daqian Region, but in Daqin. He frowned, as this was different from what they had originally agreed upon.

He looked at Liu Ruyan, who hesitated before speaking.

“Junior Brother Han, listen to me.”

“Originally, the transaction was to take place in the eighth or ninth Immortal Court of Qian Du.”

“However, seven days ago, the other party informed me through a special channel that the location had been changed to Jinyun Immortal City. However, they were willing to pay an additional ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones for transportation.”

“Moreover, they don’t fear us defaulting on the transaction, having already paid in advance.”

“I thought that it would only take about ten days to travel to and from Jinyun Immortal City, and during these ten days, earning ten thousand top-grade Spirit Stones is an opportunity not to be missed.”

“Three days ago, the other party added more money and changed the location to the Tian Nan Immortal City in Daqin Immortal Country, increasing the payment by thirty thousand.”

“It only takes half a month to travel from Jinyun Immortal City to Tian Nan Immortal City by Immortal Boat.”

“Trading time for Spirit Stones is extremely profitable for Profound Immortal Pavilion.”

Seeing Liu Ruyan’s conflicted expression, Han Yi did not blame her but instead sighed internally.

In the end,

The money earned would belong to Profound Immortal Pavilion, which was part of Xuandan Sect. The reason Liu Ruyan wanted to take a risk to earn more money was that the sect needed more resources, like Spirit Stones, for its development.

On Liu Ruyan, Han Yi saw the same loyalty and love for the sect as He Fengdi, Gu Yu, and Shen Ping.

People arc not heartless by nature.

Unconsciously, Han Yi, having spent more than fifty years in the Cultivation World since crossing over, had been influenced by the other cultivators of Xuandan Sect. His feelings for the sect had deepened, and he had fully integrated into the community.

He no longer felt incompatible with Xuandan Sect, nor did he worry about various things as he did when he had first crossed over.

Cultivating immortality docs not necessarily require the pursuit of the ultimate self-interest.

Is the Cultivation World dangerous? Of course, it’s dangerous. It is precisely because of this danger that sects like Xuandan exist, offering the warmth of a group and safety from the dangers.

In doing business, risks are inevitable. It is simply a matter of the magnitude of the risks involved.

Han Yi nodded firmly.

“I understand. I’ll go on this trip.”

“I’ve been to Tian Nan Immortal City once more than a decade ago. I’m familiar with the route, and there’s no one more suitable than me.”

Instead of raising objections, Han Yi spoke gently, which surprised Liu Ruyan.

Her concern stemmed from the fact that Han Yi, previously investigating Jinyun Immortal City’s Profound Immortal Pavilion, had been poisoned. So she worried about him harboring negative thoughts about the trip.

However,

Han Yi’s quick acceptance brought great joy to Liu Ruyan’s heart.

Next,

Liu Ruyan explained the precautions for the transaction to Han Yi, and he noted them down.

A moment later,

Han Yi left Profound Immortal Pavilion and walked through the streets of Nanliang Fang. He entered an inn, and after a while, exited from another door. When he came out, he had changed his appearance to that of a Foundation Building Middle Level cultivator.

Then,

He entered an open-market trading plaza. Half an hour later, he walked out after going around the place, and then flew onto a sword. Soaring into the sky, he flew several kilometers before releasing a Human Immortal-level Immortal Boat.

The boat moved at a rapid speed, passing by the border between the eighth and ninth Immortal Courts. Midway through, Han Yi changed to the Red Moon Immortal Boat, altering his appearance to that of a loose Golden Core cultivator he had seen during the Heavenly Machines Event, before leaving Qian Du through the Immortal Ship Channel located next to its side gate.

After Han Yi changed his appearance at the inn in Nanliang Fang and left as another cultivator,
