(Hehe! Maybe it's a bit late, but I just finished typing it, I didn't dare delay at all, sorry everyone!)(Don't forget to vote!)
"Two spirit stones!" a clear female voice rang into Han Li's ears.
Han Li blinked, only then realizing that the vendor opposite, who had been keeping his head down reading a book, was actually a sweet and cute girl.
"Is there anything missing from this book?" Han Li asked after regaining his composure.
"No, not a single word missing from the thirteenth layer of the Eternal Spring Technique." The girl said openly.
Han Li nodded, flipped through a few pages at random, then closed the book.
"Would you accept a trade for elixirs?" Han Li asked bluntly.
"Elixirs?" the girl exclaimed, eyes widening.
"It depends on what medicine; if it's for healing injuries or illnesses, it's not worth much!" The girl gently brushed her messy forehead hair.
Upon hearing the girl say that, Han Li knew there was great potential, so he bluntly produced a bottle of "Yellow Dragon Pill" and placed it before her.
"It's a foundation-strengthening, vitality-boosting medicine that can enhance magical power!" Han Li wasn't modest either.
"Foundation-strengthening?" The girl, who had been composed, grew tense. She leaned forward, gently lifted the jade bottle, tipped out a pill, and lowered her head to assess its potency.
Looking down, Han Li got a clear view of the girl's exposed jade neck; moreover, because she was so close, a refined feminine fragrance wafted over, causing his heart to race involuntarily and his face to flush slightly.
"It truly is a medicine that enhances magical power!" the girl exclaimed after sniffing it for a moment.
She lifted her head, gazing at Han Li with a joyful expression, eagerly saying: "Do you have more of such pills? If so, I'll trade as many as you have; I can freely pick anything from my stall. If not, I can also buy them with spirit stones!"
Having said that, the girl gripped the bottle tightly, her eyes unblinking as she stared at Han Li, fearing to hear a "no" from his mouth.
Seeing the originally gentle and lovely girl suddenly become so nervous, Han Li couldn't help but chuckle. Yet he also silently thought that he had underestimated the value of such medicines and would need to be more careful in the future.
"Miss, don't rush; let's finish this transaction first, then we can talk about another, okay?" Han Li had originally intended to refuse her, but seeing her clear eyes, he suddenly thought of his little sister at home, softened, and blurted out these words.
"I'm really sorry! I've acted a bit improperly." The girl, as if also realizing her rudeness, blushed.
"This book only requires two of these pills." The girl said after her expression calmed.
Upon hearing that, Han Li thought the price was fair, agreed, and began to scan the stall for other items.
"What is this?" An inconspicuous small grey cloth bag caught Han Li's interest. Especially since the bag's mouth was tightly bound with a thin red string, bulging inside! Han Li reached out and grabbed it.
"These are seeds of Seven-Star Grass; Seven-Star Grass aged over ten years is the best material for making talisman paper." The girl explained in a clear voice.
Han Li felt a stir; such items could be very useful, so without hesitation he placed the bag before him.
"Anything else that would be useful to me?" Han Li said after taking another quick look.
"You really won't pick anything? This Ice Seal is powerful, and this Revival Seal can greatly restore your stamina..." The girl, somewhat unwilling, stepped forward and began recommending to Han Li.
