I Can Accumulate Proficiency, Starting from Alchemy

Chapter 557: Chapter 270: Emperor Hong’s Trading Company, Ten Years Later

Han Yi’s eyes revealed a hint of curiosity, which naturally caught Hu Ping’s attention.

Hu Ping smiled and said proudly:

“Evil King Niu Mo, what you may not know is that although human magical treasures may be more delicate, they are not as powerful as those of our Evil Clan.”

“These two top-grade magical treasures, when placed in the human world, their power would be close to that of their top-grade treasures. Moreover, the quality of our Evil Clan’s magical treasures far surpasses that of the Human Clan’s.”

Han Yi raised his eyebrows slightly. Had he not been a cultivator himself, he might have believed it. Before this, Han Yi had naturally compared the magical treasures of cultivators and demon cultivators.

Generally speaking, demon cultivators rely more on their own bodies and supernatural powers. Although they also use magical treasures, most of the time they serve as a supplementary option. This is because their bodies or supernatural powers are often much more effective than magical treasures, so they naturally won’t abandon their main strength for lesser gains.

Therefore, in terms of refining level, human-made magical treasures of the same rank are more exquisite and powerful than those made by demon cultivators.

This old fox is indeed cunning.

However, Han Yi didn’t expose the lie and instead showed a confused expression. He said in a deep voice:

“Although I haven’t been to the Yu Heng World due to my cultivation seclusion, I have a close friend who accompanied Evil God more than half a year ago to the Yu Heng World, where he killed many human cultivators and obtained some spoils of war. In my opinion, the human magical treasures he obtained are more powerful than those of our Evil World.”

Han Yi fabricated stories effortlessly.

Hu Ping was about to speak with an unchanged smile. With his knowledge and experience, it would be easy for him to pull the Evil King in circles. However, Han Yi shook his head and preempted him.

“Forget it, let’s just look at these two magical treasures.”

“Manager Hu, may I personally appraise them?”

Hu Ping’s eyes flashed, and he didn’t argue further. He smiled and said, “Of course, the top-grade magical treasures are at the top of this loft. Evil King Niu Mo, please wait a moment, and I will bring them to you.”

Han Yi nodded, naturally not objecting. As Hu Ping left, the well-behaved Hu Bai, who had been standing by the side, approached again and took out a box of incense from his body.

“Sir, this is Michelia floribunda, which is made by grinding and blending thirteen types of fragrant flowers and six kinds of medicinal materials. Sprinkle it on your body, and it provides a pleasant fragrance without being greasy, covering your bodily odor. One use can last for a month.”

“I will offer it to you, sir.”

Han Yi took the incense and smelled it. The scent was indeed the same as that on Hu Bai. He didn’t consider it essential, but he didn’t refuse; instead, he stored it in the Qiankun Ring and expressed his gratitude.

Then, while Hu Ping went to fetch the magical treasures, Han Yi casually sighed about the topic he had just brought up.

“Sigh, if I hadn’t been in seclusion, I wouldn’t have missed Evil God’s call to join him in the Yu Heng World. I would have been able to witness the prosperity of the Human Cultivation World and broaden my horizons.”

“I just don’t know when the same opportunity will come again.”

“I once obtained a book from a human, and there was a sentence in it that I really agree with. It said, ‘To read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles,’ referring to the importance of being well-informed.”

After sighing lightly for a few moments, Han Yi turned to Hu Bai.

“By the way, since your Sky Fox Pavilion is supported by the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Clan, do you have a way to find a passage to the Human Cultivation World?”

Hu Bai thought for a moment, puzzled, and shook her head: “No, the Evil World is so good, why would we want to go to the Human Cultivation World?”

“I heard that human cultivators domesticate our Evil Clan brethren as materials for pills and refining tools. Going to the Cultivation World is dangerous.”

“Moreover, this time our lord went to the Yu Heng World and returned in defeat, with too many Evil Kings, Evil Saints, and Evil Gods dying. This just proves how dangerous the Human Cultivation World is.”

“I heard that the cross-world passages in the Yin Dao Mountain Range have been destroyed by numerous Evil Gods to ensure that the brutal human cultivators will not chase us.”

“Sir, I advise you to proceed with caution.”

Han Yi’s eyes flashed, and he nodded without speaking further. It seemed that Hu Bai wouldn’t reveal any more information.

At this time, Hu Ping returned. He first sent Hu Bai away and then closed the door. He used his demon power to hold up two magical treasures and sent them to Han Yi.

“Evil King Niu Mo, please take a look. These are the Purple Frost Stick and the Black Demon Stick.”

“Both are top-grade magical treasures. The Purple Frost Stick is priced at 150,000 top-grade Spirit Stones, and the Black Demon Stick is priced at 120,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.”

Han Yi looked at the two stick-like magical treasures, one emitting a purple light and the other pitch-black like an abyss.

He reached out and grasped the Purple Frost Stick first. The treasure was full of spirituality and began to emit a cold light, seemingly testing the strength of the demon cultivator who was holding it.

In the Evil World, demon cultivators choose magical treasures, and magical treasures also choose demon cultivators.

However, all the cold light was suppressed by Han Yi’s dark palm without causing any ripples.

Seeing this scene, Hu Ping was slightly surprised. He secretly pondered that the aura of this Niu Mo Evil King should be at the late stage of an Evil King, but the displayed strength had undoubtedly reached the level of a Peak Evil King.

Han Yi was delighted and took the Black Demon Stick directly with his other hand. He held it up to his eyes for a close appraisal. A moment later, he was satisfied with the quality of both magical treasures, but the prices were too high. He wasn’t a fool and naturally wouldn’t be a scapegoat.

After some bargaining back and forth, Han Yi purchased the two magical treasures for a total of 200,000 top-grade Spirit Stones.
