Buying Intelligence, Marketplace Transactions

"Tell me first, what's the difference between these two families?"

Xiao Chen asked leisurely while looking at the scenery on the island.

Guo Pan quickly introduced, "Azure Sea Pavilion is backed by the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. The information inside has been strictly reviewed by the Immortal Sect. It is true and reliable, and there is no fraud."

"But because of this, the news will spread slower."

"In addition, in terms of price, it is also slightly more expensive."

He paused slightly and then said, "Spirit Communication Pavilion has a wide range of sources of information. No matter where the trouble is, you can know it at the first time, and the price is relatively low."

"But there are a lot of rumors mixed in, both true and false, and it takes extra effort to distinguish them."

"These two houses are not far apart, just two streets apart. Which one do you want to go to, senior?"

Is this okay?

Xiao Chen is a bit surprised. Logically speaking, authenticity and reliability should be the most basic requirement for intelligence. Spirit Communication Pavilion Is anyone really willing to spend money?

In other words, what is the actual meaning here?

"Go to the nearest one first."

Since they were not far away, he decided to buy information on each side.

First, he was indeed a little curious about the situation of the Spirit Communication Pavilion.

Secondly, the information from different sources corroborates each other, which may make it more comprehensive.

"Okay!"

Guo Pan responded and led him skillfully through the streets and alleys. After a while, he came to a unique attic.

The whole body is made of Azure Jade. There are only three floors in total, but each floor is one foot high.

There is a huge plaque hanging in the attic, with the words Cang Ming as big as two wheels written on it.

In the lower right corner of the plaque, there is also a normal line of small words - carefully selected, careful inspection of the actual situation, clearly marked price, non-refundable and non-exchangeable.

"Senior, just choose carefully and just call me when you're done."

Guo Pan introduced the situation before coming. Azure Sea Pavilion's rules are that if you want to enter, you need to pay ten yuan Spirit Stone first.

Regardless of whether the deal is concluded or not, this amount of money cannot be reduced.

In addition, they also prohibited guides from staying at the door, and could only wait for their employers in the alley diagonally opposite.

The gatekeeper is a middle-aged Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

When he saw Xiao Chen coming, he just reached out and took Spirit Stone as a matter of routine, and then took a step to get out of the way.

The whole person looked calm and his eyes were numb, just like a puppet.

The steward inside also looked uninterested. "Is the customer buying information or selling information?"

Maybe it's because of his support from the Immortal Sect, maybe he's almost a one-man business, or maybe he's just not surprised.

In short, they were very calm when they saw Golden Core cultivator.

However, Xiao Chen didn't care what their attitude was, and simply stated that he needed the latest and most detailed chart.

Then the last ten years, the entire Compassion Sea all Important Intelligence Summary.

Finally, a list of recent major events is needed.

"Guest, are you kidding me?"

The steward was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then asked, "Are you sure you need the entire Compassion Sea and Important Intelligence Summary? I have to remind you first, this is not cheap?"

"At least we should start with this number."

He stretched out five fingers and shook them, presumably referring to Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones.

From the information alone, the price is indeed not low.

After all, what Xiao Chen actually wants is just some public information.

It belongs to the kind of Golden Core cultivator If you are willing to take the time to find out, there is something that you can collect by yourself in three or five years.

Guo Pan said before that this place would be "slightly more expensive", but that was actually a bit euphemistic.

But it doesn't matter, Xiao Chen just made a fortune in Heaven Star Island not long ago, to him it's all Little Qian.

So he nodded calmly. "Just bring me the information I want."

It is worth mentioning that the efficiency of the Azure Sea Pavilion is quite good.

In less than two quarters of an hour, the steward counted and gathered all the information, and divided it into three boxes and placed them on the counter.

"You have been waiting for a long time. Chenghui accepts fifty-five thousand Spirit Stone from you."

Because of the special nature of information transactions, you usually pay first and then pick up the goods.

Xiao Chen put down Spirit Stone with a big wave of his hand, and checked it with the information on the spot.

These things must be looked at carefully here.

For example, are there any obvious missing words or sentences, or are there suspected clerical errors in some places?

If you ask on the spot, you can get free answers. If you have any questions after you leave the house, there will be an additional price.

The first is the pile of charts worth 20,000 Spirit Stone.

Yes, because Compassion Sea is too large, it is necessary to use fourteen scrolls, one foot long and two feet wide to mark relatively detailed situations.

Facts have proved that Xiao Chen's choice to purchase information first is quite correct.

On this chart, which the latest news comes from at the end of last month, there are more than 300 red areas circled in red.

There are disasters such as thunderstorms or Frost Condensing Mist Lock in these places. If a monk accidentally enters one, his life or death will be unpredictable.

In particular, Xiao Chen noticed that there were forty-seven highlighted dark red areas.

They are all new dangerous areas in the past five years.

If a monk uses an old chart or relies on past experience to travel, he may be in danger.

"So many new disasters in five years?"

Xiao Chen smelled something unusual. "Have changes been so frequent in the past hundred years?"

The steward raised his right hand and shook his index finger at the ceiling. "You will be charged one hundred Spirit Stone for this news."

After taking Spirit Stone, he shook his head. "Not counting the past five years, a total of seven disasters have disappeared and nineteen new dangerous areas have been added in the past hundred years."

In other words, the changes in the past five years have been extremely dramatic.

Xiao Chen asked, "What is the reason for the change?"

The steward held out two fingers. "This news will cost you two hundred Spirit Stone."

It's very annoying, it's like facing an emotionless Money-Collecting Puppet.

Xiao Chen took out two hundred Spirit Stone, and then heard the other party reply, "As for the frequent occurrence of disasters, the major sects have not found the reason yet."

Huh?

Doesn't this translate to the classic answer? I don't know.

Xiao Chen stared at the other party. "Then you have the nerve to accept me Spirit Stone?"

The steward looked calm. "No progress is also a kind of intelligence."

After a pause, he added, "If we find the reason, we won't only charge two hundred."

Huh?

What do you mean by adding this sentence?

There is something in the words, right? Who should I point to?

Too lazy to argue with the juniors whose cultivation level is only Foundation Establishment, Xiao Chen opened Important Intelligence Summary and took a rough look at the changes in various aspects.

In the past ten years, the situation of the Compassion Sea can be described in eight words.

All heroes rise together, and a hundred flowers bloom!

All forces, whether large or small sects or cultivating families, are extremely active, participating in various explorations of secret realms and competition for resources.

At the same time, many Hidden Dao Heritage Successor also joined the WTO.

There are already relatively famous forces like Jade Dawn Sect and Qian Yuan Sect.

There are also several casual cultivators who have suddenly emerged, with superb methods and many trump cards, suspected to be New Dao Heritage Successor.

.

The most important of these are two pieces of news.

The first one is that three years ago, Compassion Sea suddenly appeared with two Nascent Soul True Lord and eight Golden Core Disciple.

They called themselves Illuminating Void Sect, and they merged with three local small-scale immortal cultivators Lineage.

It has now become an emerging force that cannot be ignored.

The second one is the Cloud Wave Sword Abode located at the Listening Wave Sea south of Compassion Sea Region the year before last. The original Chief Disciple became Nascent Soul Formation.

Because he is proficient in Water Law, the Dharma Name he obtained is named - Surging Wave True Monarch.

In addition, according to reliable information, this Newly Promoted True Monarch is only fifty-eight years old, which is shockingly young.

This speed has already broken Compassion Sea's fastest cultivation record in two thousand years.

Therefore, Surging Wave True Monarch is also called by many people, the Super Prodigy that is rare in a thousand years.

It is said that even though he already has dao companion in the sect, there are still a large number of forces selecting young and beautiful female nuns in an attempt to give him a relationship.

For several months at that time, Listening Wave Sea could see monks coming to give gifts.

"It's really a bit fierce."

Xiao Chen put away the information in his hand and silently wrote down the name.

It seems that not only his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds, but there are also outstanding geniuses among the other monks.

But it doesn't matter, if everything goes well, he can get a Sha Qi right away.

It won't be long before he will refresh this practice record again.

These are all things that have already happened. What is more critical to Xiao Chen is the last list of major events.

It only records four things in four lines, but it is worth a full 20,000 Spirit Stone.

The reason why it is sold at such a high price is because the four things listed above are all things that have been determined to happen but have not happened yet.

The first is that in three months, Chiseled Gold Small Secret Realm will be opened in advance.

Every time this Secret Realm is opened, it can produce a large amount of rare spiritual minerals.

Its importance to the weapon refiner is almost equivalent to the significance of the Hundred Herbs Secret Realm to Alchemist.

However, this is of little significance to Xiao Chen, who has almost no experience in weapon refining.

At the same time, I don't have any expectations about trying my luck to dig the fourth-level spiritual mine.

The main thing is that he still has to look for Witch Artifact, and then rush back to Secluded Doom Island early, so he doesn't have time to go mining.

Then five months later, a large-scale auction will be held at the Listening Wave Sea.

The news of the auction itself is not a secret. The key point is that the talisman promoted in it can be confirmed to be a defensive type Fifth-Order Talisman Treasure.

If you are interested in bidding, you can start preparing Spirit Stone in advance.

"Fifth-Order Talisman Treasure?"

Xiao Chen I haven't seen the talisman yet, so I'm really interested.

If he has time then, he can also consider trying to bid. Anyway, there are definitely not too many things to protect himself.

Then there is a piece of special information.

There is Continuous Rain to the southeast of the Compassion Sea, which has been raining for two years without stopping.

According to the Azure Sea Immortal Sect's speculation, one of the reasons may be that some kind of special spiritual object is about to appear in the sea.

However, the specific situation is not yet clear at present, and it may last for a long time.

"It's in the southeast."

Xiao Chen is now going to the northwest to find Wu Mausoleum, which is equivalent to completely staggering to the other side.

However, the spiritual creatures born in the sea are basically related to water.

So he thought about it and decided to just let it happen.

The last one is Bounty Order from Far West, plus a portrait.

Nascent Soul sect Yin Corpse Sect from the Storm Sea is tracing a half-step Nascent Soul Cultivator named 'Golden Light Rogue Cultivator'.

There is a lot of nonsense behind it to describe how cruel and unscrupulous Golden Light Rogue Cultivator is.

Xiao Chen made everyone laugh. He really knows how to confuse right and wrong.

Just by looking at the description of the Yin Corpse Sect, an uninformed person might think that he is the demonic cultivator who kills innocent people indiscriminately.

It doesn't matter, let them be arrogant for a few more days, and there will be times when they cry.

At the bottom is a super high reward, not only Spirit Stone, but also Enlightenment Crystal and Fourth-Order Spiritual Item.

So far, this news has only been circulated among Nascent Soul True Lord and a few monks who purchased the information.

The reason why it has not spread widely is because we are afraid of alerting others.

Azure Sea Immortal Sect specifically stated that Golden Light Rogue Cultivator is extremely dangerous and it is not recommended for any Golden Core cultivator to fight with him.

Therefore, if you encounter someone accidentally, you can secretly report your whereabouts to the nearest major forces to collect the bounty.

Speaking of which, that portrait is truly amazing, and the depiction is so lifelike.

But the problem is, Xiao Chen has now been released from Camouflage Technique.

In other words, he is using his true appearance now, so there is no need to worry about being discovered.

Yin Corpse Sect is now using a fake portrait to try to arrest someone, but he is destined to achieve nothing from the beginning.

Coming out of the Azure Sea Pavilion, Xiao Chen greeted, "Stone!"

Immediately I saw Guo Pan trotting over from the alley. "Senior, where should we go next?"

"Go to the Spirit Communication Pavilion."

Xiao Chen thought for a while and added, "In addition, I also want to buy some Spirit Honey and sell a batch of Tier 3 Talisman."

"You figure out where you should go and then lead the way."

Since you have already come to Fangshi, please arrange Spirit Honey.

The next time an eyeless bird dares to eat itself, roast it with honey.

Guo Pan heard this, thought carefully for two breaths, and then replied, "Senior, please come here, Li Family Shop has been selling Spirit Honey for more than three hundred years, and everyone who has tasted it says it is good."

Even in Cultivation World, two hundred years is a long time.

Such a time-honored brand often means that there have been at least three generations of Foundation Establishment Cultivator among Lineage, otherwise the business would have been taken away long ago.

But what Xiao Chen didn't expect was that the person responsible for selling Spirit Honey turned out to be Golden Core cultivator who looked a bit honest.

"I wonder which one you want?"

He held out two big bowls with a smile, "We have both Second-Order Spirit Honey and Third-Order Spirit Honey."

"Fellow Daoists, you can taste them separately before making a decision."

Oh, there is also a tasting session.

Xiao Chen was not afraid that there was something wrong with the food, so he took a bite directly.

The Third-Order Spirit Honey is soft, delicate and soft in the mouth, with a hint of the aroma of spirit medicine.

It should be that during the processing process, some spirit medicine was specially put in to help restore the true essence.

"How about it? Our Spirit Honey tastes good, right?"

The other party introduced with a smile, "I am not bragging, Five Great Sects will hold Joint Grand Competition at the beginning of next month."

"Two days ago, the manager of the Azure Sea Immortal Sect came to my place to purchase a large batch of Spirit Honey."

"It is used to restore the true energy of those Elite Disciples who participated in the competition."

Xiao Chen asked curiously, "Is there such a thing? Why haven't I heard about Dabi?"

The other party quickly explained, "How can this be false? It is absolutely true."

"We have Azure Sea Immortal Sect, Heavenly Dipper Sect and Ink Barrier Sect to the north, Cloud Wave Sword Abode to the east, and Thousand Machines Valley."

"And True Disciple from several major sects are basically going to go this time, and now it's all spread outside."

.

"Oh, that's it."

Xiao Chen nodded and waved down the ten thousand Spirit Stone: "Give me one hundred kilograms Third-Order Spirit Honey."

It's a bit interesting. This competition is very targeted.

According to the information he got from Su Li before, there are actually not many Daoist Sect here at the Compassion Sea, and they are all concentrated in the southwest and northwest.

Several Buddhist temples occupy the best areas in the southeast, northeast and middle.

Excluding those small sects with only Golden Core cultivator, Daoist Sect had previously belonged to the five major powers.

We can't say that we are incompatible with each other. Anyway, we can't pee in the same pot.

Even Thousand Machines Valley may not be considered Daoist Sect. After all, it is Puppet Path, a research institution.

But this time Five Great Sects teamed up and sent the younger generation True Disciple to compete with each other.

Only I didn't bring the recently-rising Illuminating Void Sect to play with me.

It seems that the relationship between the current sect and the hidden sect is somewhat unharmonious.

Xiao Chen Several thoughts flashed through his mind, and he didn't know whether it was because he didn't deal with it in the first place or because of other reasons.

Previous intelligence said that the other Hidden Dao Heritages seemed to be active as well.

There are only a few Fourth-Order Spirit Vein, which cannot accommodate so many forces.

Of course, this is not something Xiao Chen needs to worry about.

He just needs to keep a distance so that if a fight breaks out in the future, he won't be implicated.

"Senior, this is Spirit Communication Pavilion."

Passing through an alley, Guo Pan pointed at a square courtyard opposite and said.

The courtyard was square and square, with eight identical gates built on all sides, all of which were open at this time.

Many monks walked through it, and Xiao Chen also saw many Qi Refining Realm.

After a brief understanding, he finally understood that intelligence was only one of the characteristics of the Spirit Communication Pavilion.

He also has another more important role, which is to provide a place for everyone to chat and brag.

Unlike Morning Radiance Pavilion or Azure Sea Pavilion, which are strictly separated and transactions are conducted in small compartments that have been divided in advance, there is also a Soundproof Array.

Spirit Communication Pavilion is more like a combination of a restaurant and a teahouse.

Except for a few areas separated by screens to trade information, a whole lively hall was built in the rest of the area.

In the middle of the hall, there is a high platform on which monks sit and tell various stories.

The monks around him either listened to what he said, or went up to speak on their own, or chatted with colleagues they met by chance, in short, they mainly kept busy.

Xiao Chen After taking a few steps inside, I heard a lot of amazing gossip.

A certain Golden Core Elder from the Azure Sea Immortal Sect was practicing Cultivation Technique of Replenishment secretly, but his practice went so wrong that he went crazy.

It is said that someone on the edge of the Kunpeng Sea witnessed the authentic work of Kunpeng with his own eyes.

Others were northwest of the Compassion Sea and saw the sea water gathering into a giant thousands of feet high fighting with a Fourth-Order great demon.

Hiss~, is there any need to sell information?

But Xiao Chen finally bought a piece of information for no other reason - it was too cheap!

Excluding the charts that did not need to be purchased repeatedly, he only spent three hundred Spirit Stone and obtained a large stack of pamphlets filled with various rumors.

In other words, these are more like scripts that record some information.

The content inside is almost the same as those shocking tidbits from before.

The only difference is that the number is large enough and comprehensive enough, even two completely different kinds of gossip about the same thing are included.

Xiao Chen I definitely don't have much use for it.

But you can take it back and show it to Su Li. After all, she hasn't learned about the outside world for a long time.

After leaving Spirit Communication Pavilion, I got rid of the Talisman I had on hand at a shop at a low price of 50% off.

Mainly because I stayed on Secluded Doom Island for another month, plus the time on the road, the shelf life of these Talisman is already less than eight months.

If Xiao Chen is willing to set up his own stall, he should be able to slowly dispose of it at a 30% discount.

But he doesn't have that time now. It will be several months until he comes back from searching for Witch Artifact, so he might as well just get rid of it.

"Stone, this is my first time here!"

After completing the three main goals, Xiao Chen turned around and asked, "Is there any other place in Fang City that is worth a visit?"

If not, he planned to continue on his way.

Hearing this, Guo Pan replied without hesitation, "Senior, if this is your first time here, you can go to "Get Rich Wall" in the center of the island to have a look."

"I heard that many seniors came to Fangshi for this reason."

"There are all high-priced Bounty Order guaranteed by the Azure Sea Immortal Sect. Many monks have made a windfall."

Xiao Chen nodded. "Lead the way!"

You've come here, and since it's a place worth seeing, go take a look.

In the very center of the island, there is a red wall that is thousands of feet long.

On the wall, wooden signs write different bounties one by one, arranged in order of price from east to west.

The rewards here are not only for people, but also for different items.

For example, Three Pearl Star Fixing Plate is currently ranked first.

It was Law Treasure that was accidentally lost when civil strife broke out in the Ink Barrier Sect a few years ago.

In order to recover this treasure, as long as you can provide valid clues, you can get a reward of up to one million Spirit Stone.

If you can return the items, you can exchange them for a lot of good things.

Including but not limited to, Heaven-Grade Inheritance, Fourth-Order Spirit Medicine, Enlightenment Crystal, etc. which cannot be transmitted externally.

Xiao Chen was looking back one after another when he suddenly heard the chatter of the monks around him.

"Oops, someone is missing again, and I'm here to post a reward."

"There are already six Golden Core True Persons this year, right?"

"You missed it, this should be the seventh one."

Xiao Chen glanced over there and saw that there were indeed many similar bounties on the second half of the red wall.

Most of them are monks who disappear for no reason. Friends or clan members really have no choice, so they gather Spirit Stone to come here to find a glimmer of hope.

"Give in, give in to everyone."

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator wearing Azure Sea Immortal Sect Magic Robe came over and went straight to the front.

He took off the wooden sign that was originally ranked at the 19th position, then took out the new bounty and moved it to the 12th position.

The surrounding monks immediately formed a circle.

"Look, Yi Family has raised the price again, this time it's directly to one million Spirit Stone!"

"As expected of the Nascent Soul Great Clan, he is just rich."

"I heard before that Yi Family's life expectancy is about to expire. It seems to be true."

"It must be true, otherwise Fourth-Order Life-Extending Pills would never be sold at this price."

"Hmph, you are a Foundation Establishment Early Stage, but you still know the price of a Fourth-Order Spirit Medicine?"

The monk turned around and saw that the person mocking him was Foundation Establishment Late Stage.

So he suddenly became weak, turned around and left muttering in a low voice.
