Chapter 380: Snow Spirit Water and Heavenly Fire Liquid

As soon as the two women and the three male cultivators who had been persistently following them entered a nearby shop, Han Li emerged from behind another building. He glanced at the shop the two women had entered, a thoughtful expression on his face. After observing for a moment, he took Qu Hun and walked towards other streets.

At first glance, the streets here seemed no different from the mortal shops outside. Rows of similarly sized square buildings lined both sides of the street. Signboards and hanging banners outside the shops displayed various names such as "Wu Family General Store," "Chen's Artifact Shop," "Five Elements Refinement Shop," and "Huoyang Raw Materials."

Han Li didn't enter any of these shops. Instead, he walked straight towards the center of Tiandu Street. Based on his past experience, powerful large shops were always located in the best spots, which should be directly below the "Cloud Dream Pavilion." Han Li also wanted to get closer to see what other unusual features this floating pavilion possessed. With that thought, Han Li couldn't help but quicken his pace slightly.

Meanwhile, cultivators constantly moved in and out of the various shops along the street, suggesting that Tiandu Street was quite populated by them.

After walking several hundred *zhang*, Han Li knew he had found the right place. Suddenly, a bright sight appeared before him: a small plaza spanning several *mu*. This plaza was paved with long strips of pristine white jade, giving it an exquisite and luxurious appearance. The center of the plaza was empty, save for the Cloud Dream Pavilion floating in mid-air. However, from a distance, the pavilion's gate appeared tightly shut, showing no intention of welcoming visitors.

Around this modest plaza stood six small pavilions, each unique in style. They were equidistant from each other, subtly forming a standoff. Beyond these six establishments, no other shops dared to encroach upon the plaza.

Upon seeing this, Han Li gazed intently at the floating pavilion for a moment before shifting his attention to the six pavilions on the ground. "Mountain Sea Pavilion, White Water Tower, Jade Ring Residence..." Han Li mumbled the names of the six shops to himself, continuously observing the cultivators entering and exiting them. He intended to choose the pavilion with the most foot traffic.

However, after a moment, Han Li frowned, muttering to himself in exasperation. It turned out that the number of people entering and exiting each of the six small pavilions was almost identical. Visitors would circle all six pavilions one by one before reluctantly or excitedly departing.

Feeling a bit dejected, Han Li concentrated and re-examined the six pavilions. It was then that he noticed something peculiar. The banners hanging outside the six pavilions bore embroidered insignias that seemed to hold a deeper meaning. The Mountain Sea Pavilion's banner displayed a blue monstrous beast. The White Water Tower's showed a small golden sword, and the Jade Ring Residence's featured a green spirit ganoderma.

Seeing this, Han Li vaguely felt that he might have misunderstood something. To confirm his suspicions, Han Li pondered for a moment, then walked towards the one closest to him.
