“Hehe, that was deliberately done for me to see, you don't need to mind it. He didn't refuse you to lead the way at first, which can be considered giving me some face. Then, he drove you away after arriving at Dijiang Ward, which was a warning, telling me to know when to stop and not push people too hard. Obviously, he's unhappy with my surveillance of him, but he knows how to measure his actions." Shi Pokong rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Hmph, a lowly human, daring to be so presumptuous in our Holy Region capital! It's a pity that His Highness treats him with courtesy. This kind of barbarian should be taught a lesson!" Hu Jingjing said indignantly.

"Alright, don't mention this again. After all, he's a guest invited by the thirteenth brother. We were the ones who didn't do well enough. Tell everyone not to send people to follow and monitor him anymore in the future. I will pay attention myself." Shi Pokong waved his hand and said.

"Yes! This servant obeys." The girl replied quickly.

"Alright, you can leave." Shi Pokong waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jingjing immediately took her leave. After she left, Shi Pokong turned to look at the huge painting, lost in thought.

"As expected, he's not a simple character. A bit interesting..." After a long while, he muttered to himself.

...

Inside Dijiang Ward, Han Li had already left the Immortal Spirit Pavilion and arrived at a strange building built along the river, with its entrance facing the flowing river instead of the main street of the ward.

This building was constructed entirely of black stone, with a circular top and strange patterns engraved on the surface.

At this moment, he was standing in front of the building, looking up at the plaque above the door.

"Jing Wu Ward..." Han Li frowned slightly and muttered.

After a moment of hesitation, he still stepped inside.

Upon entering the store, he found that there wasn't a single customer inside, making it seem quite deserted.

The store's layout was clearly divided into two rows. On the left side, a black wooden sign hung high, with the words "He who has discerning eyes shall obtain" written on it. The writing was old, and the sign was covered in a thick layer of dust.

A wooden sign was also hung on the right side, but the words written on it were "He who has immense wealth shall obtain," which looked relatively new.

Two shop assistants stood behind the counters on each side. One was yawning, half-asleep, and the other was holding a cyan ancient book, absorbed in reading it on the counter.

Han Li approached the latter and realized that he wasn't reading any cultivation techniques, but a racy novel that was widely circulated among the common people.

Noticing Han Li approaching, the shop assistant moved slightly, looking disgusted, and put away the book.

"What are you looking for, customer? We have a lot of legitimate things in Jing Wu Ward, and even more unorthodox things. We can satisfy any needs you have." The shop assistant's opening line was quite shocking.

Han Li found it a bit absurd after hearing this, so he looked up and scanned the shelves behind the shop assistant. He saw many kinds of magical artifacts and treasures, as well as various rare elixirs and spiritual materials, all mixed together without any order.

Judging from the grade, each one was naturally extraordinary. Of course, the prices listed below were even more astonishing. Even Han Li, who had obtained the wealth of Zhaogu Zhenren, still felt that they were a bit too high.

However, after browsing for a while, Han Li didn't find anything that caught his eye, so he shook his head and turned to the side with the "He who has discerning eyes shall obtain" sign.

The shop assistant saw that he wasn't buying anything and seemed used to it. He didn't show any disdain, picked up his cyan book again, and started flipping through the pages while licking his fingers.

The items on the shelves on the other side were even more chaotic. There were no prices marked on them either.

At a glance, Han Li saw various limbs and claws of exotic beasts. Some of them still had luster, looking murderous, while others had dried up and withered, with no vitality.

Next to the broken limbs were many transparent crystal bottles containing spiritual liquids of various colors, in which were soaked eyeballs of different sizes and shapes. There were not only eyeballs of various exotic beasts, but even eyeballs of human cultivators.

Han Li's gaze fell on an eyeball that looked like a gray stone ball, and his heart couldn't help but stir slightly.

"How much is this?" He raised his hand and pointed to the eyeball from a distance, asking.

The sleepy shop assistant finally came to his senses, rubbed his sleepy eyes, glanced back, and said vaguely:

"Three thousand... five hundred... Demon Yuan Stones."

"So expensive? Didn't you say 'He who has discerning eyes shall obtain'?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"Customer, you see it too, right? We said 'He who has discerning eyes shall obtain', but we didn't say 'He who has discerning eyes gets it for free', did we?" The shop assistant yawned, a smile on his face, and said lazily.

Han Li was speechless upon hearing this and could only smile bitterly to himself.

If he wasn't mistaken, that eyeball should be the single eye of a mature Tai Fei, an object of the Law of Time.

However, there seemed to be a layer of restriction on the crystal bottle containing the single eye, which completely concealed all fluctuations on it, preventing Han Li from feeling it deeply.

"May I ask if your store sells maps of Ye Yang City? It would be even better if you could attach some related news reports." Han Li stopped looking at the eyeball and asked.

"Maps... we naturally have them, but only the city distribution of the Black Sky District and the Maha District. The Luo Jia District where the imperial city is located, and some secret places within the city, will naturally not be shown." The shop assistant paused slightly and said.

"That's fine. It would be even better if you could also attach some introductions to the scenery of each district in the city," Han Li said with a smile.

"A map of Ye Yang City costs fifty Demon Yuan Stones, and a gazetteer of Ye Yang City's scenery costs three hundred Demon Yuan Stones. If you want to buy some specific secret information, we also have it here, but it will cost you more," the shop assistant raised his eyelids and said.

"No need, just these two." Han Li hesitated slightly after hearing this and said with a smile.

After paying the money, Han Li put away the black jade slip engraved with the map and a thick black book, and turned to leave.

As he walked to the door and was about to bend down to go out, he suddenly heard the shop assistant behind him call out again: "Customer, why don't you consider this Tai Fei single eye again? This price is still negotiable..."

"Oh, in your opinion, how can it be negotiated?" Han Li retracted his raised foot and turned back to ask.

"Our store's second manager left a rule that if the arriving customer can take out something rare enough to sell in our store, the items on this 'He who has discerning eyes' shelf can be priced accordingly," the shop assistant said.

"Something rare enough?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and said.

"Or something strange enough is fine. We will determine whether it has value ourselves," the shop assistant said.

Han Li frowned and pondered for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and asked: "Since you have so many scales and claws of exotic beasts here, I wonder if you buy complete corpses?"

"That depends on what kind of corpse it is? Usually, it must be at least the remains of a Taiyi Jade Immortal level, otherwise what use are the remains of ordinary cultivators?" the shop assistant frowned and said.

"A Gray Immortal corpse," Han Li replied.

"What cultivation level?" The shop assistant immediately became interested upon hearing this and asked.

"Comparable to a Golden Immortal cultivator before death," Han Li replied.

"If it was a Gray Immortal corpse of the Taiyi Jade Immortal realm, it could be directly exchanged for this Tai Fei single eye. Since it is only at the Golden Immortal level, you need to make up for a part of the cost," the shop assistant's eyebrows drooped, obviously a little disappointed, and then said.

"I wonder how much more needs to be paid?" Han Li asked.

"Five hundred Demon Yuan Stones will do," the shop assistant replied.

"Deal." Han Li pondered slightly and nodded.

With that said, he waved his hand, and a dazzling silver light lit up. A Gray Immortal corpse wearing a white robe lay on the counter.

This corpse was the Gray Immortal he first encountered in the ruins of the True Words Sect.

The shop assistant stepped forward, reached out and opened the Gray Immortal's eyelids, carefully inspected it for a moment, and then flipped his hand and took out a palm-sized silver mirror, and shone it on the Gray Immortal's corpse from head to toe.

"I have verified his identity, the transaction can be made." Then, he put away the mirror and nodded.

Afterwards, Han Li paid five hundred Demon Yuan Stones and took the Tai Fei single eye from the shop assistant, and left the store.

Not long after Han Li left, a tall and beautiful woman walked out slowly from behind a screen in the inner hall of the store.

She was wearing a set of close-fitting silver armor, which only protected the vital parts of her chest and abdomen, but appropriately outlined her exquisite and flawless figure. Her conspicuous snow-white long hair was tied up high and fixed on top of her head with a silver crown, making her look heroic and valiant.

In addition, she also had a beautiful and unparalleled face, which made her even more dazzling.

"Greetings, Shopkeeper." The two shop assistants in the store ran out of the counter and bowed down upon seeing her.

The silver-armored woman waved her hand casually, indicating that they didn't need to be so polite.

Her eyes did not look at the two of them, but glanced at the Gray Immortal corpse on the counter, and then turned to the Di Yuan River outside the door, muttering to herself: "Giving you a chance to inquire about some news and you don't want it, you really are good at holding your breath..."

After returning to the main street, Han Li looked up at the sky and found that it was still early, so he continued to stroll around Dijiang Ward, but to avoid suspicion, he deliberately did not go to the Liufeng Pavilion, which had the Great Prince as its backer.

...

Until dusk, Han Li drove a scale carriage, which he bought from the beast pen outside the ward, and returned to the Third Prince's mansion.

After returning to his courtyard in Changting Garden, he walked quickly back to his room.

After opening all the restrictions, he pulled over a chair and sat down. With a flip of his wrist, a gray-white stone ball appeared in his palm, which was the Tai Fei single eye he had bought earlier.

A golden light flashed in his palm, and a strand of the Law of Time slowly entered it.

The gray-white stone ball flashed with light, and it seemed to crack, with cracks appearing on the surface, and a bright golden light shone through.

When the outer layer of stone skin was completely peeled off, the complete golden eyeball inside was truly revealed, and a powerful wave of the Law of Time emanated from it.
