Chu Ning noticed Chang Lingshan's slightly mysterious demeanor and felt a spark of interest— it seemed the other might know some connections.
The subsequent transaction went smoothly, and Chu Ning traded out a few items he offered.
Then he waited for Chang Lingshan to complete his transaction, and together they left the Frost Moon Pavilion.
Along with them departed Han Shihong.
Outside the Frost Moon Pavilion, Chang Lingshan addressed the two:
"Fellow Daoists, would you like to visit my Cave Mansion for a chat?"
Han Shihong seemed already inclined to go, and Chu Ning was curious to hear what Chang Lingshan wanted to say, so he naturally had no objections.
Upon sitting down at Chang Lingshan's Cave Mansion, he smiled at Han Shihong and said:
"Junior Brother Han, Junior Brother Chu wants to search for Nine Rites Gold, Star Core Sand, Golden Goblet Wood, Gold and Silver Bird Tail Feather, among other treasures."
