Hu Le and the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord moved between the various stalls. Hu Le showed little interest in the items on the stalls, glancing at them briefly before moving on.
With Penglai Island and the entire Yanhuang tribe as his backing, what kind of treasures wouldn't he have in his treasury? Why would he care about these cheap goods?
With a powerful backer, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was naturally well-connected. As Hu Le's most trusted tool, how could he lack treasures?
However, he didn't come here for these street vendor goods.
At each stall he passed, he would find the stall owner and ask questions. After seeing the stall owner shake his head, he would leave disappointed.
Hu Le, of course, heard what he was asking; it was still about those spiritual objects that could change one's innate qualities and aptitude.
Hu Le felt that this guy was almost obsessed with it.
Where can you find those kinds of rare and precious materials here...?
However, he was proven wrong the very next second.
Just as the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord walked up to a stall and approached the stall owner to ask a question, the stall owner did not shake his head, but instead asked a question.
"I do have some here, but what treasures are you prepared to exchange for them?"
"Oh? No again? Then what...?"
Just as the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was about to turn and leave, he quickly realized what was happening.
Hu Le, who was nearby, was also taken aback when he heard this, but he didn't get involved.
"I have a Heavenly Heart Grass here. What are you going to trade for it?"
Heavenly Heart Grass?
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was taken aback, his face showing deep disappointment, before he angrily said, "Fellow Daoist, are you trying to fool me with a mere Heavenly Heart Grass?"
This Heavenly Heart Grass is indeed a good spiritual herb that can be used to improve one's aptitude.
But that would only work for ordinary mortals. For someone like him, who has received enlightenment from the Supreme One and is practically born with it, even if he eats Heavenly Heart Grass like a snack every day, it won't have any effect.
Moreover, his poor physical aptitude is only relative.
He certainly couldn't compare to a primordial deity like Hu Le, nor could he be compared to Duobao, the first Duobao Rat in the world.
Compared to most innate deities in the primordial world, his innate talent and aptitude were already quite good.
His persistence was simply a way of competing with Hu Le and Duobao.
After all, seeing the two of them make rapid progress in their cultivation, how could he not be envious compared to the many hardships he had experienced on his path of cultivation?
As their sworn brothers, he really didn't want to be left too far behind...
Seeing that the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was furious, the stall owner was not in a hurry. Instead, he smiled and whispered something in the Heavenly Lord's ear.
"Hey, fellow Daoist, don't be in such a hurry! I haven't finished speaking yet. My Heavenly Heart Grass is no ordinary herb."
"Oh? Tell me in detail, I want to hear what's so special about it." The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord suppressed his anger and asked with curiosity.
"Alright! Listen carefully. In the past, when Pangu created the world and transformed into all things, a drop of his heart's blood fell into Zhou Mountain, where it was absorbed by a Heavenly Heart Grass."
From then on, this Heavenly Heart Grass received a great blessing, let alone a deity like you, fellow Daoist.
Even an ordinary person, if fortunate enough to consume a single flower or leaf, could instantly become a god and attain immortality…
Next, the man praised the Heavenly Heart Grass enthusiastically, making the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord's heart itch with envy.
"So, this Heavenly Heart Grass is in your possession, fellow Daoist? Please take it out, so that I may have a look at it."
Unexpectedly, the stall owner shook his head and looked at the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord with disdain.
"Fellow Daoist is joking. Such rare and precious natural treasures are very delicate. If I carelessly keep them on my person and something goes wrong, will you compensate me?"
Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord frowned and asked, "If that's the case, how do you intend to exchange with me?"
"Hey, don't be in such a hurry! I haven't told you the terms of the exchange yet."
"you say."
"Alright, as long as you're willing to give up a Primordial Spiritual Treasure, I'll exchange my Heavenly Heart Grass for it."
"You..." The Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord was furious.
This guy has quite the nerve.
Exchange it for a primordial spiritual treasure?
This must be a joke.
Does this guy even know how precious innate spiritual treasures are?
Throughout the primordial world, there have been countless cultivators, but how many of them actually possess a single innate spiritual treasure?
And those innate spiritual treasures are almost all in the hands of some great supernatural beings.
This guy just casually mentions a primordial spiritual treasure; has he even seen what a primordial spiritual treasure looks like?
"Fellow Daoist, please don't joke. Even if that Heavenly Heart Grass received a trace of Pangu Heavenly King's fortune, it's probably not worth a single innate spiritual treasure. I think you should change your terms."
The stall owner rolled his eyes. "Hmph! I only have this one condition. Whether you change it or not is entirely up to you."
He clearly sensed the eagerness of the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord, as if he had him cornered.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord shrugged, pulled the stall owner aside to a secluded spot, took out several magical treasures from his treasure pouch, showed them to the stall owner, and explained the wonders of each treasure.
Unexpectedly, the stall owner just shook his head repeatedly, determined not to exchange anything other than a primordial spiritual treasure.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord spread his hands in a sullen manner and said, "To be honest, fellow Daoist, I really don't have any innate spiritual treasures here. You'd better change your terms, otherwise, we'll have to part ways."
The stall owner smiled and glanced at Hu Le, who was standing not far away, and whispered, "If you don't have any here, you can ask the Eastern Divine Lord for some! Given his status, he should have plenty of innate spiritual treasures on him."
Upon hearing this, the Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord was taken aback. So, the stall owner had clearly already recognized their identities.
Hearing this, Hu Le walked over with his bamboo cane and interjected with a smile, "Alright! It's just a primordial spiritual treasure, I, Hu, will pay for it."
However, you only talk about how miraculous the Heavenly Heart Grass is, but we haven't seen it with our own eyes, so how can we know whether what you're saying is true or false?"
When the stall owner saw Hu Le approaching, he quickly bowed and said with a smile, "Your Majesty is too kind. Even if I had the greatest courage in the world, I would not dare to deceive you!"
"Is that so? I'll believe you this once. Go back and get the Heavenly Heart Grass. As long as you can prove that everything you said is true, you'll get the innate spiritual treasure."
"This?" The stall owner looked troubled.
"What? Are you trying to play a trick on us?" the Treasure Offering Heavenly Lord asked suspiciously.
"Hehe... Please don't misunderstand, the Heavenly Heart Grass is indeed planted in the spiritual field of my dojo, but this thing has very strange habits and needs special earth energy to survive."
Even the spiritual field in my dojo was moved from Zhou Mountain along with the Heavenly Heart Grass.
If the Heavenly Heart Grass is rashly pulled out, even if it survives, its efficacy will inevitably be somewhat lost.
Therefore, if you two really want to exchange, you'll have to come with me to retrieve them in person.
Fearing the two might misunderstand, the stall owner quickly offered an explanation.
The Treasure-Offering Heavenly Lord looked at Hu Le with an inquiring gaze.
Hu Le nodded to him, indicating that he could agree.
He smiled and brushed his bamboo cane over himself. For some reason, he had a premonition that something interesting was about to happen on this trip...
