"Of course. What grade of goods would you like to buy, Senior?"
He Pingsheng said, "Fifth grade!"
The woman sucked in a sharp breath of shock. "Please wait a moment, Senior... I'll fetch our Commerce Association's grand elder right away!"

The door was closed.

"What exactly are you looking for?"
"Oh, right... my Daoist name is Hanxiao."
"Immortal Maiden Hanxiao!" He Pingsheng cupped his hands. "My surname is He!"
"To be frank, Immortal Maiden Hanxiao, I've already reached the eleventh layer of the Nascent Soul Realm and encountered a bottleneck in my cultivation!"
"So I wanted to ask whether you sell any fifth-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures
