Wu Shattered Star River

Jiang Han walked into East City in a low-key manner. Although he had changed his appearance, he did not go directly to that chamber of commerce. Instead, he wandered around in many places, constantly changing his appearance.

In this way, even if there were spies in the city, it would be difficult to discover his true identity. After all, scouts with transformation techniques as mysterious as his were impossible to see through, unless he had an Emperor-level expert by his side.

After wandering around a few times, he finally walked into the chamber of commerce that specialized in secret techniques.

Although he did not reveal his aura, his temperament clearly indicated that he was a big shot. A maid from the chamber of commerce immediately welcomed him into a small hall, and then a shopkeeper came.

"Welcome, esteemed guest!"

The shopkeeper was very amiable, smiling and saying, "My surname is Tong. How can I be of service?"

Jiang Han cut to the chase and said, "I need a secret technique, a disguise type. Do you have any secret techniques or treasures here that even a Saint Ruler cannot see through?"

"Of course, we do!"

Shopkeeper Tong said with a smile, "We have all kinds of secret techniques here. Not to mention Saint Rulers, even Dao Ancestor Realm experts would have difficulty seeing through our top-tier secret techniques without getting close."

"Impressive!"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. He didn't need a secret technique that Dao Ancestor Realm experts couldn't see through, and he probably couldn't afford it anyway.

Dao Ancestor Realm experts wouldn't assassinate a small Heavenly Emperor like him, and they wouldn't do such a thing for a few hundred million Saint Fire Stones.

Jiang Han said, "I need a disguise secret technique that Saint Ruler Realm experts can't see through. How many Saint Fire Stones do I need?"

Shopkeeper Tong's spatial ring lit up, and he took out a booklet, flipping through it. He pointed to a line of words and said, "Here are three types of secret techniques. As long as you successfully cultivate them, you can disguise yourself. Saint Rulers basically can't see through them. There are introductions and prices above. You can take a look, esteemed guest."

Jiang Han took the booklet and scanned it, then secretly clicked his tongue.

The three secret techniques each had their own merits and were all top-tier secret techniques. The first one was a bit difficult to cultivate, but after successful cultivation, unless a Saint Ruler possessed a special tracking technique, no Saint Ruler could detect the disguise.

The second one was a bit easier to cultivate. After successful cultivation, most Saint Rulers couldn't see through it, but Saint Ruler peak experts could see through it if they got close.

The third one was even easier to cultivate, but slightly stronger Saint Rulers could see through it after getting close. If they were far away, they wouldn't be able to see through it.

These were not the main points. The main point was that these three secret techniques were very expensive. The first one cost two billion Saint Fire Stones, the second one cost one and a half billion, and the third one cost ten billion.

Jiang Han had killed many Heavenly Emperors some time ago and obtained many spatial rings, but after conversion, he only had a few hundred million Saint Fire Stones. He had also given some resources to Old Deng Yu Qi and Wan Suiyun.

He calculated now that the resources on his body were worth at most three to four hundred million Saint Fire Stones, a huge shortfall.

Seeing Jiang Han's expression, Shopkeeper Tong smiled and said, "There are also slightly lower-level secret techniques in the back, but they can only hide from Heavenly Emperors. Would you like to take a look, esteemed guest?"

"No need!"

Jiang Han waved his hand. He didn't even want the third type of secret technique. If he were to buy, he would only buy the first or second type, otherwise, it would be meaningless.

"I'll go back and collect Saint Fire Stones first!"

Jiang Han got up, thought for a moment, and asked, "Shopkeeper Tong, can this price be reduced?"

"It can't be reduced!"

Shopkeeper Tong said with a bitter smile, "Our Secret Technique Pavilion has clearly marked prices. All the branch pavilions have the same price."

"Really dark..."

Jiang Han touched his nose. This kind of secret technique could be sold continuously, selling for tens of billions of Saint Fire Stones per scroll. This Secret Technique Pavilion was making too much money.

Jiang Han said, "By the way, I have resources. Can I sell them here?"

"Of course, you can!"

Shopkeeper Tong nodded and said, "You can go out and inquire. We collect resources and treasures at market prices, fair and honest, absolutely fair."

"Alright!"

Jiang Han got up and walked outside, saying, "I'll go back and collect Saint Fire Stones first, and come back when I have enough!"

"Okay, I'll see you off!"

Shopkeeper Tong politely sent Jiang Han out.

Walking out of the Secret Technique Pavilion, Jiang Han felt a headache coming on. He wanted to buy the second type of secret technique, so he still had a shortfall of one point one to one point two billion Saint Fire Stones.

If he could go out, then he could carry out tasks, hunt down experts, and kill enemies in the Heavenly Region to earn Saint Fire Stones.

The problem was that he couldn't go out now, and he didn't dare to go out. He could go to the Heavenly Region, but recently there didn't seem to be any major wars in the Heavenly Region. If it were a small-scale mission, not only would he not earn any Saint Fire Stones and merits, but he would also be easily assassinated.

"Merits?"

Jiang Han's heart stirred. He still had a few thousand merits. He wondered if merits could be sold?

He turned around and returned to the Secret Technique Pavilion, found Shopkeeper Tong, and inquired.

"Of course, you can!"

Shopkeeper Tong said, "Merits can be exchanged for resources, merits also have various uses, of course, merits can be sold. You can go to the S衙 and say that you are giving them away for free, and we will calculate the Saint Fire Stones for you here. One merit is worth 100,000 Saint Fire Stones at market price."

"100,000?"

Jiang Han's eyes lit up. He had four thousand merits, which were worth 400 million, plus his three to four hundred million, that would be seven to eight hundred million Saint Fire Stones.

"Still a shortfall of 800 million!"

Jiang Han nodded secretly. He didn't immediately sell his merits, but bid farewell and left again. He had to find a way to make up for the remaining shortfall before he would sell his merits.

"Where can I get Saint Fire Stones?"

Walking on the street, Jiang Han fell into deep thought.

Go find the Tianlei Clan Realm?

Lei Qi and Lei Xu certainly didn't have many Saint Fire Stones. Borrowing from them would be a top of 100 million.

Look for Lei Yun and Lei Qu?

Jiang Han couldn't bring himself to ask. The Tianlei Clan's clan laws were strict, so he certainly couldn't borrow from the clan's treasury, he could only borrow from them personally.

The Tianlei Clan had been having a difficult time in recent years. Although Lei Yun and Lei Qu could take out seven or eight hundred million Saint Fire Stones, Jiang Han couldn't bring himself to ask. Their relationship hadn't reached that point.

"Look for Lu Yu?"

Jiang Han thought of a person. Lu Yu had said before that she owed him a favor and could help him with something.

He didn't want Lu Yu to give him 800 million, just lend it to him. Lu Yu shouldn't refuse, right?

The question was, did Lu Yu have so many Saint Fire Stones?

"Should have..."

Jiang Han pondered for a while and came to the conclusion that even if Lu Yu didn't have it, her "husband" Liu Fangfei certainly did.

Liu Fangfei was the only seedling of the Liu family, the little princess of the third floor's main family. A few hundred million Saint Fire Stones should be nothing, right?

"Go!"

Jiang Han made up his mind and didn't think too much about it. The main thing was that Lu Yu said she owed him a favor, when would he use this favor if not now?

He didn't know where Lu Yu lived, so he could only return to Tianlei Valley to ask Lei Xu.

Lei Xu went out for a while and came back an hour later. He said, "Miss Lu Yu is in Baijing City, living in Liu Fangfei's Green Willow Manor. Brother Jiang... if you have nothing to do, it's better not to provoke Lu Yu and Liu Fangfei. Liu Fangfei is famous for being irritable!"

"I know!"

Jiang Han smiled and said, "I know them, we fought side by side in the Heavenly Region. I'm going to visit them. Don't worry, I won't mess around."

"Is that so..."

Lei Xu nodded and said, "If Saint Ruler Liu is determined to help you, asking the Third Floor Master to come forward can easily help you get off the dark list."

"Off the dark list?"

Jiang Han smiled bitterly. He didn't have that much face, and Liu Fangfei wouldn't give him that face. Even if Liu Fangfei gave him face, the Third Floor Master might not care.

Unless he could win over Liu Fangfei and become the Third Floor Master's grandson-in-law...
