“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 the beginning, which can be regarded as giving me some face. He only drove you away after arriving at Dijiang Ward, which is a warning, telling me to know when to stop and not push people too hard. Obviously, he is dissatisfied with my surveillance of him, but he knows how to grasp the measure." Shi Pokong rubbed his hands and said with a smile.

"Humph, a lowly human race, daring to be so presumptuous in our Saint Realm capital! It's a waste that His Highness treats him with courtesy. This kind of barbarian should be given some suffering!" Hu Jingjing said indignantly.

"Alright, don't mention this matter again. After all, he is a guest invited by the Thirteenth Brother. We were not good enough. Order everyone not to send people to follow and monitor him in the future. I will pay attention myself." Shi Pokong waved his hand and said.

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

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

After hearing this, Hu Jingjing immediately took her leave and left. After she left, Shi Pokong turned around and looked at the huge painting, lost in thought.

"Sure enough, he's not a simple character, quite interesting..." After a long time, he murmured to himself.

...

Inside Dijiang Ward, Han Li had already left the "Xianling Pavilion" and arrived at a strange building built along the river, with the shop door facing the leisurely river water 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.

"Jingwu Workshop..." Han Li frowned slightly and murmured.

After a slight hesitation, he still stepped inside.

Upon entering the shop, he found that there was not a single customer inside, which seemed quite deserted.

The shop's furnishings were clearly divided into two rows. On the left side, a black wooden sign was hanging high, with the words "Gained by the Discerning Eye" written on it. The handwriting was old, and the sign was covered with a thick layer of dust.

A wooden sign was also hanging on the left side, but the words written on it were "Gained by the Wealthy," which looked relatively new.

There was a shop assistant standing inside each of the two counters. One was yawning, drowsy, and the other was holding a cyan ancient book, leaning on the counter, reading with relish.

Han Li approached the person and found that he was not reading any cultivation technique, but a salacious novel widely circulated among the secular markets.

Realizing that Han Li had approached, the shop assistant moved his body with some disgust and put away the book.

"What are you looking for, sir? We have many legitimate things in this Jingwu Workshop, and even more crooked paths. We can satisfy any needs you have." The shop assistant's opening remarks were also shocking.

Han Li also found it a bit absurd after hearing this, so he raised his head and scanned the shelves behind the shop assistant. He saw many magical artifacts and treasures, and various rare elixirs and spiritual materials, all mixed together in no particular order.

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

However, after browsing through everything, Han Li did not find anything that caught his eye. He then shook his head and turned to the side with the "Gained by the Discerning Eye" sign.

Seeing that he was not buying anything, the shop assistant seemed accustomed to it, and did not show any disdain. He picked up his cyan book again and began to flip through it, licking his fingers.

The items on the other side of the shelf were even more chaotic, and none of them were priced.

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

Beside those severed limbs, there were also many transparent crystal bottles, filled with spiritual liquids of various colors, in which were soaked eyeballs of different sizes and shapes, including not only the eyeballs of various exotic beasts, but even the eyeballs of human race cultivators.

Han Li's gaze fell on one of the eyeballs that looked like a gray stone ball, and his heart could not help but stir slightly.

"How much is this?" He raised his hand and pointed to the eyeball in the air, asking.

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

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

"So expensive? Didn't you say it's gained by the discerning eye?" Han Li frowned and asked.

"Sir, you also saw that, didn't you? We said it's gained by the discerning eye, but we didn't say it's gained by the discerning eye for free, right?" The shop assistant yawned, a smile appeared on his face, and he said lazily.

Han Li was stunned upon hearing this, and could only laugh bitterly to himself.

If he was not mistaken, that eyeball should be the only eye of an adult Tai Fei, an object of the law of time.

However, there seemed to be a layer of restriction on the crystal bottle containing the eye, completely concealing all the fluctuations on it, making it impossible for Han Li to feel deeply.

"May I ask if your store sells maps of Yeyang 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 Mahākāla District. The Luojia District where the Imperial City is located and some hidden 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 Yeyang City costs fifty Devil Yuan Stones, and a gazetteer of Yeyang Realm costs three hundred Devil 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, I'll just take 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, just as he was about to bend over to go out, he suddenly heard the shop assistant behind him call out again: "Sir, you might as well consider this Tai Fei eye again? This price is still negotiable..."

"Oh, in your opinion, how can we negotiate?" Han Li retracted his raised foot and turned around to ask.

"Our shop's second shopkeeper left a rule. If the visiting guest can bring enough rare things to sell here, the items on this 'Gained by the Discerning Eye' shelf can be appropriately bargained." The shop assistant said.

"Enough rare things?" Han Li raised an eyebrow and said.

"Or strange enough things are fine too. We will judge whether it has value." The shop assistant said.

Han Li frowned and thought for a moment, and suddenly remembered a "thing", so he asked: "Since you have so many scales and claws of exotic beasts here, I wonder if you purchase complete corpses?"

"That depends on what kind of corpse? Usually speaking, it must be the remains of at least a Grand Yi Jade Immortal level, otherwise what's the use of the remains of ordinary cultivators?" The shop assistant frowned and said.

"A Gray Immortal corpse." Han Li replied.

"What is the cultivation level?" The shop assistant immediately became interested when he heard this and asked.

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

"If it is the Gray Immortal corpse of the Grand Yi Jade Immortal realm, it can be directly used to exchange for this Tai Fei eye. Since it is only at the Gold Immortal level, then you need to add a portion of the fee." 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 Devil Yuan Stones is enough." The shop assistant replied.

"Deal." Han Li pondered slightly and nodded.

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

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

The shop assistant walked forward, reached out and pried open the Gray Immortal's eyelids, carefully examined it for a moment, and then took out a palm-sized silver mirror, and shone it from head to toe on the Gray Immortal's corpse.

"The body has been verified, the transaction can be made." Then, he put away the mirror and nodded.

Afterwards, Han Li paid five hundred Devil Yuan Stones and took the Tai Fei eye from the shop assistant's hand, and left the shop.

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

She was wearing a close-fitting silver armor, only protecting her chest and abdomen, but it appropriately outlined her exquisite and flawless figure. Her conspicuous snow-white hair was tied up high, and fixed on top of her head with a silver crown. The whole person looked heroic.

In addition, she also had a delicate and unparalleled beauty, which made her even more radiant and moving.

"Greetings, Great Shopkeeper." When the two shop assistants in the shop saw her, they quickly ran out from the counter and bowed down.

The silver-armored woman waved her hand casually, indicating that they did not need to be too polite.

Her eyes did not look at the two of them, but glanced at the Gray Immortal corpse on the counter, and then moved her gaze 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're really calm..."

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 in Dijiang Ward, but to avoid suspicion, he deliberately did not go to Liufeng Pavilion, which had the First Prince as its backstage support.

...

It wasn't until dusk that Han Li drove a scale car purchased from the animal pen outside the ward and returned to the Third Prince's residence.

After returning to his courtyard in Changting Garden, he quickly walked 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 exactly the Tai Fei eye he had purchased earlier.

A golden light flashed in his palm, and a wisp of the power of the law of time slowly poured into it.

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

When the outer layer of stone skin was completely peeled off, the complete golden eyeball inside truly appeared, from which bursts of extremely powerful fluctuations of the law of time were transmitted.
