Chapter 121 Encounter in Tianlan City
The other person hung up immediately after speaking.
The mark left in Xianbo also disappeared shortly afterward.
It specializes in providing a one-stop service for blocking and deleting contacts.
The thought of not being able to withdraw her 300,000 yuan made Huali feel like she couldn't breathe.
Ao Bai's heart was bleeding too; both he and the cat instantly lost all composure.
After the Dream Realm ends, she must get those 300,000 spirit stones back! Not a single one less!
After internally screaming and crawling in a dark, frenzied manner, Huali caught sight of the ethereal painting filling the room and suddenly an idea came to her.
The immortal realm is full of business opportunities; as long as you dare to work hard, you can turn a bicycle into a motorcycle!
She immediately pointed to the scroll painting and asked three questions in quick succession, "How do I get in? Can I add more people? Can I vote for myself?"
"Yes, more than fifty high-grade spirit stones can appear on it."
You can't catch a wolf without risking your cub; small risk, big reward. She's determined to win this secret realm, so she might as well bet on it. Not only will she be able to repair the gold-type cards, but she'll also make a fortune, hehehe.
After figuring things out, Hua Li started rummaging through the small cloth pouch on Ao Bai's chin. She had acquired many spiritual treasures on this trip to the Burial God Abyss, but not many spirit stones. She had scraped together exactly fifty, "and I'll keep all of these for myself."
The shop assistant accepted it with a smile, and the next second the bell rang. The new scroll was slowly pulled open in the corner, and the lifelike rosewood in the portrait came into view.
As for the remaining spirit stones, she'll deal with them after she sells the spirit treasure.

Tianlan City.
Lian Zhuo looked at the concentric bracelet on her wrist with a look of doubt in her eyes. The bracelet had just become bright, but it was suppressed by some kind of restriction.
He was about to step into the bustling shop when a joyful shout came from behind him, "Lian Zhuo!"
Lian Zhuo looked in that direction and saw Rong Xing waving at him.
At the same time, Huali walked out of the entrance of Xianbo and said to Aobai, "First, find a pawnshop to sell the low-level spiritual plants for some spirit stones, and then find an inn."
"It really is you!" Upon meeting an old friend in a foreign land, Rong Xing immediately ran over. "Are you also here to participate in this Prelude to Dreams Trial?"
Lian Zhuo nodded, not wanting to say more. When she turned around again, she only saw the hem of her lotus-colored dress disappear around the corner.
“That’s perfect, we can go together. I’m the only one at the astrology station this year. I… Hey, Lian Zhuo, where are you going?” Rong Xing was talking excitedly when she looked up and saw that Lian Zhuo had already strode towards the Xianbo store.
Rongxing trotted after Lianzhuo into the shop and immediately spotted his own portrait.
The astrology platform is always very popular, so he wasn't interested and turned to glance at Lian Zhuo, only to find that the person suddenly froze in place the moment he looked up.
Rongxing followed his gaze and saw a girl in a light purple dress leap off the page.
The person in the painting has almond-shaped eyes filled with lively starlight, and the upturned corners of her lips resemble the tip of a crescent moon dipped in honey. Who else could it be but Huali!
Rongxing's eyes widened. "Eh? Huali is here too?"
Before the words were even finished, the person in front of him had already torn through space and vanished in an instant.

Huali walked out of the pawnshop, happily weighing her Qiankun bag in her hand.
She never expected that the low-grade spiritual herbs she dug up in the Burial God Abyss to make up the numbers could fetch a good price here. If she had known, she should have gathered more.
"Let's go, let's find a place to stay first."
Xiao Ta emerged from Qing Lin's fall. "Aren't we waiting for the Demon King to come along?" Ever since entering the city, Xiao Ta had suddenly become unusually clingy.
Hua Li carefully placed her small Qiankun bag into the large Qiankun bag given to her by the Wu Clan, and while looking for a suitable place, casually replied, "Hmm? Didn't Luo Chuan already meet up with Bi Fang?"
Huh? What's that dark, black thing? Huali glanced at a palm-sized token in the corner and casually pulled it out. "What's this?"
She was pricked the moment her fingertip touched the token, and before she could react, the blood droplet instantly melted into the token.
Hua Li was startled and looked again. "The Xuanji Token? Wasn't this returned to Wu Jin? How did it end up here?"
Xiao Ta said "Oh," and added, "That's mine."
Huali immediately lowered her head, "?"
The three-year-old child raised his chin and said arrogantly, "The old man said that since you don't want it, he saw that I have excellent aptitude, so he gave me this token."
Karin: "...You're going to take it?"
“Yeah, you always say why shouldn’t you take something that’s free?” Xiaota nodded. “I thought so too, so I kept it for you.”
Huali: "......"
Huali nodded. "Okay, great. It's about time she started taking calcium supplements at three years old."
Her health supplement business can now expand downstream.
However, the potential customer suddenly sighed with worry, "After we come to Tianlan City, will we no longer be with the Demon King?" His tone clearly showed that he had forgotten that he was still being held hostage by Luo Chuan.
Huali finally realized something was wrong. She hadn't seen Xiaota like the Demon King much before, so why had she suddenly become so interested in him these past two days?
Ao Bai, who had seen through everything, was speechless.
Little Tower blinked her large amber eyes and said matter-of-factly, "With the Demon King's cultivation level so high, following him will definitely make things much smoother. Like just now, if Luo Chuan had been here, you wouldn't have had to scrape together those spirit stones..."
A cursed butterfly flew in from afar and quietly landed on a flower branch behind them.
Xiaota continued, "And Huali, if you want to enter the secret realm now, you still have to pass the selection of rogue cultivators. Actually, if you talk to the Demon King, he will definitely have a way. The Demon King is so fond of... Are you angry?"
The little tower's voice grew softer and softer as it saw the ever-smiling girl in front of it gradually become serious.
On the bustling street, the hem of her lotus-colored skirt swept past the foxtail grass sprouting from the cracks in the stones, and Huali slowly squatted down in front of the little dumpling in front of her.
"Little Tower, do you remember the trumpet creeper we saw in the Burial God Abyss?"
Xiao Ta looked into the girl's gentle yet firm eyes and nodded in a daze.
"The trumpet creeper can climb up to the sky by clinging to an ancient tree, but it will be smashed to pieces when the ancient tree collapses."
Xiao Ta was confused. "Huali doesn't believe Luo Chuan?"
Huali shook her head. "I definitely believe it. But Xiaota, no matter how wide the umbrella of others is, it is ultimately not as good as sheltering yourself from the wind and rain."
She pointed to the distant Mount Xuyue, "What I want is the power to cleave through nine layers of lightning tribulation, not to forever hide behind someone."
Therefore, whether it is Luo Chuan, Lian Zhuo, or Wen Jin, if they ever stand side by side, she will definitely do so as a strong person, rather than as a weak person seeking her help.
Seeing that Xiaota looked confused, Huali thought for a moment, then lifted her skirt to reveal the small foxtail grass underneath. "Xiaota, look, just like this foxtail grass, when it grows spiritual roots and breaks through the stone slab, the stars in the sky will still bend down to illuminate its path."
Little Tower's amber eyes narrowed little by little. As the starlight flickered, she was about to pounce on Karin when she was interrupted by a sinister shout.
"Flowers! Pears!"
The girl, who was spouting motivational platitudes, froze, then looked in the direction of the gaze. Not far away, Tang Wanwan, hands on her hips, pointed at her with her eyebrows raised, "You dare team up with others to knock me out? You're dead!"
The girl, who had been so determined to give up just moments before, suddenly backed down.
"Wanwan, listen to my trick..."
Huali stood up and stepped forward, ready to face the storm, when she saw Tang Wanwan's murderous expression freeze.
A sudden gust of wind rose behind her, twisting her hair and crimson feathers forward, while Karin's wrist was suddenly gripped tightly by a hand adorned with Buddhist prayer beads.
As if soaked by rain, the scent of sandalwood crept up the back of my neck, accompanied by a trembling whisper, "Rosewood..."
