Chapter 556: Chapter 269: Undying Ancient City, Thousand Demons, and Ten Thousand Forms_4
A thought occurred to Han Yi, he nodded his head, and under the eager gaze of the fox lady, he stepped into the loft that bore the plaque of Sky Fox Pavilion.
At this moment, he appears to be a nearly two-meter-tall strong man, exuding a rich, irresistible aura of the Evil King. As long as he doesn’t run head-on into an Evil God or encounter some powerful Evil Saint with the supernatural power to see through his real identity, he believes he will absolutely not be recognized.
This enchanting fox lady welcomed Han Yi into the building. Another fox lady, who resembled her quite a bit, greeted her and then left the loft to begin a new round of solicitation, sparking Han Yi’s curiosity.
“My name is Hu Bai, and that is my younger sister, Hu Qing.”
“Sir, please follow me.”
Han Yi nodded and followed her up to the second floor without saying much.
“Sir, do you have any spiritual items in mind?”
Han Yi nodded. Shopping was not the aim but a means.
“I am Niu Dali, the chieftain of Niu Mo Demon Stronghold in the Devouring Sky Mountain Range. This trip to the Undying Ancient City is primarily to purchase a powerful artifact.”
“Does your pavilion have any artifact-series of sticks?”
“Also, I intend to stay in the ancient city for a while and may need to inquire about some news through your pavilion.”
In reality, Han Yi was not short of cultivation resources, but many of his artifacts were inappropriate to appear in the Evil World. For example, the Evil Suppression Sword bestowed by the Daqian Emperor, his own Green Reed Sword, and the Sword of Demon Slaughter.
These sword tools all bear traces of human cultivators. They can’t be revealed in public or else they can be easily suspected. Once suspected, there is the risk of exposure. With Han Yi’s cautious attitude, he naturally thought of this point.
Therefore, Han Yi planned to stick to the weapon this original bull demon was skilled at – artifact-series sticks.
As for spirit stones, Han Yi along his journey has crossed four large mountain ranges, killed over ten Evil Kings. Among them, two were late-stage Evil Cultivator Evil Kings. He earned a great fortune and naturally could afford the Spirit Stones.
Han Yi decided that unless necessary, he would not take out items from the Qiankun Ring belonging to Yu Heng World, to prevent detection.
So, he followed his usual routine. If he wants to buy a Demon Cultivator artifact, he will take it from the Demon Cultivator. Those Demon Cultivators who attempted to rob him were all live Buddhas.
Upon hearing Han Yi’s words, a thought occurred to Hu Bai. From the tone and demeanor of this Bull Demon, she could tell he wasn’t an ordinary Evil King. This deal would definitely earn her a huge profit.
Thinking of this, her eyes brightened even more.
“Sir, you’ve come to the right place.”
“However, for transactions concerning artifacts or higher, a pavilion executive is required. Please wait momentarily while I fetch one.”
Han Yi nodded. In the end, this fox lady was just a big demon and naturally had no authority to participate in transactions above the artifact level.
A moment later, Hu Bai led an elder in. The elder looked to be of ancient age; at first glance, he appeared to be like a human. But despite the dull demon aura from him, he was undeniably an Evil King.
“This is the executive of our Sky Fox Pavilion, Mr. Hu Ping.”
“Mr. Hu Ping, this is Bull Demon Sir. He wishes to purchase a stick-style artifact and plans to stay in the ancient city for a while. Along the way, he may inquire about some news.”
The old man, Hu Ping, nodded his head. Taking over Hu Bai’s narration, he revealed a signature smile as he spoke to Han Yi.
“So it’s the Bull Demon friend from the Devouring Sky Mountain Range. Bull Demon friend, I’m Hu Ping, an executive at Sky Fox Pavilion. Do you have any specific requests for the artifact you wish to purchase?”
Han Yi of course had requirements, and he wasn’t surprised by Hu Ping’s designation for him. In this world, people usually addressed each other based on their identities.
People would naturally call Han Yi either Bull Demon Evil King, Bull Demon Chieftain, or Bull Demon friend as he was the chieftain of the Bull Demon Stronghold.
“I wish to purchase a high-grade artifact-level stick.” Han Yi responded gravely.
Hu Ping stroked his white beard and with a smile, flipped his hand. A jade butterfly appeared in his palm. He placed the jade butterfly on the table between the two, released a bit of demon aura to connect with the jade butterfly, and images began to emerge on the jade butterfly.
In the image was a purple giant stick that radiated a chilling glow.
“This is an upper-grade artifact, the Purple Frost Stick. It originates from the Gu Li Demon Ape tribe. The Gu Li Demon Ape tribe is one of the most powerful artifact forging tribes in our Eastern Region. You should be aware of how valuable their artifacts are without my further description. The selling price is 150,000 high-grade spirit stones.”
The image then changed to a black giant stick. Mysterious runes were engraved on the giant stick, exuding a strange demonic aura.
“This is also an upper-grade artifact, the Black Demon Stick. This artifact originates from an ancient evil relic in the Northern Domain. Its material and performance are no less than the Purple Frost Stick.”
“The selling price is 120,000 high-grade spirit stones.”
Old Man Hu Ping didn’t continue with his introduction. Giving too many choices to the client wouldn’t be appropriate. Presenting two upper-grade artifacts alone was enough to demonstrate the strength of Sky Fox Pavilion.
Han Yi nodded his head. Both artifacts were fine. His eyes flickered with curiosity as he suddenly asked.
“By the way, Mr. Hu, did the Evil God bring back the artifacts of the human cultivators when he last attacked the Yu Heng realm?
“Are their artifacts even more powerful?”
