Zhang Cunfu's Intelligence

When Zhang Cunfu heard Xiao Chen's question, he immediately felt himself sweating profusely.

He quickly replied, "No, no, I would never dare to deceive my senior."

"Please rest assured, senior, I will sell these spiritual items as quickly as possible."

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to agree for the time being.

Zhang Cunfu quickly took the Storage Ring.

The restrictions on it had already been lifted, so he took the opportunity to probe it with his Divine Sense.

After all, even Demonic Path Material require different processing methods depending on their type.

However, Zhang Cunfu was stunned when he saw it.

The Storage Ring was filled entirely with normal spiritual items?

Moreover, upon closer inspection, not only were they all Third-Order Spiritual Object, but nearly half of them were also of high quality!

This includes refined spirit ore, finished spirit pills, and several Spirit Artifact, among other things.

Is this... right?

Zhang Cunfu's mind went blank.

Shouldn't your Rebellious Immortal Alliance be severely lacking in spiritual resources?

Why would you sell such a high-quality Third-Order Spiritual Object to the public?

Moreover, not only that, the total number is also extremely large.

For example, those twenty-odd boxes of refined spirit ore inside are more than the entire inventory of Gui Yun Market!

That wasn't all; Zhang Cunfu also discovered that the boxes were well-made and bore uniform Spirit Seal.

It's obvious that this box was specially made by a major sect to protect spiritual objects for long-term storage.

Ordinary small households have no need for such things.

Not good!

A thought suddenly popped into Zhang Cunfu's mind.

You guys didn't just rob a Sect Warehouse in some blessed land, did you?

Thinking of this, he felt as if something extraordinary had happened.

Although he hadn't received any word of it recently, it's normal for such a big event to be kept under wraps.

Zhang Cunfu was both shocked and frightened.

They were shocked by the audacity and ability of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance to obtain so many spiritual items.

The contents of this ring alone are probably worth over 20 million Spirit Stone.

Fearing that such a major event would alarm the Holy City, he was implicated in the final purge.

He glanced up at Xiao Chen, only to find that the other was also staring at him with a half-smile.

So he quickly lowered his head.

After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, there are just too many of these. I... I might need more time to process them all."

This wasn't Zhang Cunfu making excuses.

Even though he had worked in the Market Warehouse for decades, he had never handled Third-Order Spiritual Object of this magnitude.

Under normal circumstances, a single deal exceeding one million is considered a big deal.

Finding so many buyers for goods worth over 20 million Spirit Stone is no easy task.

Moreover, if so many spiritual items are to be disposed of quickly, the price must be reduced.

That would inevitably drive down the prices of related spiritual items.

Then they had no choice but to continue lowering prices, which resulted in a significant reduction in final profits.

Moreover, the inexplicably surged supply of spiritual items would easily attract the attention of the Gui Yun Sect.

Therefore, whether it's to sell more Spirit Stone in the end or to avoid being discovered, it's best to keep these things in your hands and sell them slowly.

Xiao Chen understood this, so he didn't put any more pressure on him.

Before he decides to formally engage with the Nascent Soul of this realm, it's best to play it safe.

Besides, he's not in a hurry to collect Spirit Stone; if he sells them slowly, he can earn more.

Therefore, Xiao Chen immediately asked about another matter, "The Double Jade Assembly is coming up soon, have you received any inside information?"

"Tell me all the information, big or small, in detail."

His purpose in meeting with the other party this time was not only to resell spiritual items, but also to gather information.

As the warehouse manager, Zhang Cunfu did receive the task in advance, which was to allocate several batches of spiritual items to build the venue.

In addition, while managing relationships with various parties involved in the event, I also overheard a lot of information about the conference.

After all, for those below, such a major event with a fixed date naturally requires extensive preparations starting two months in advance.

So Zhang Cunfu immediately recounted everything he had learned.

The main purpose of the Double Jade Assembly is naturally to acquire Soul Nurturing Jade and Blood Absorbing Jade, but now it also has the added function of selling spiritual items.

The Large Garden in the center of the market has been closed for four days.

The North and South Gates will not reopen until 7 AM the day after tomorrow.

Until 9 PM the day after tomorrow, all cultivators can line up to enter through the North Gate to sell the Double Jade, and then leave through the South Gate with the Spirit Stone.

Opposite the south gate is the Auction Hall of Gui Yun Auction House.

On the first day, three small auctions will be held consecutively to sell some rare and precious items that are not usually seen.

Then, a large auction was held the following day.

At that time, top-grade elixirs, including the ' Golden Core Formation ', and other valuable items will be sold.

During this period, independent cultivators can set up stalls and engage in free trade anywhere except in the Core Area of the market and the main roads.

Moreover, this is not just a gathering for low-level cultivators.

This was also an opportunity for the Gui Yun Sect to invite various Lineage to come and meet with them.

Therefore, at large auctions, not only will there be high-quality Third-Order Spiritual Object, but Fourth-Order Spiritual Item and rare materials will also make a grand finale appearance.

According to past tradition, the Four Great Families of the Yang Gao City Gao Family), Ling Gu Jin Family), Pingyi Cai Family), Hongqiu Shang Family) will each provide one Fourth-Order Spiritual Item for auction.

They will also spend lavishly to compete for the rare spiritual items offered by the Gui Yun Sect.

Although there is no explicit rule, people will generally buy one to take home, even if they don't need it for the time being.

After all, this would replenish their own spiritual reserves and also show goodwill towards the Gui Yun Sect.

As for the Spirit Stone consumed, none of the major Lineage are particularly short of them.

After all, their respective vast businesses can earn a large amount of Spirit Stone every year.

"Have any unfamiliar True Lord participated in the previous auctions?"

Xiao Chen wasn't afraid of bidding, but he wanted to know if doing it this way was appropriate.

As he had guessed, there were almost no True Lord in the New Cultivation World, and no new faces had ever appeared in the Gui Yun Sect.

At least Zhang Cunfu had never heard of Nascent Soul True Lord from another place making a special trip to attend the local Double Jade Assembly.

After all, although these events aren't held simultaneously in different locations, the dates are all roughly the same.

People tend to attend the local Double Jade Assembly whenever possible, and even when visiting relatives and friends, they usually choose other days.

"Really? I see."

Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.

He wouldn't have cared if he didn't know, but now that he'd heard about Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, he naturally wanted it too.

Who would complain about having too many magical items?

Since we're already here, it's too frustrating to just watch others trade; we need to think of a solution.

"Tell me first, how many True Lord are currently in the Gui Yun Sect's territory, and where are they located?"

Xiao Chen decided to gather all the intelligence first before deciding on his next course of action.

Zhang Cunfu carefully calculated before replying, "As far as I know, there aren't that many True Lord here; there should only be eight in total."

"Although our sect has five True Lord, Elder Xing and Elder Luo are both permanently stationed in the Holy City."

"Currently, the only people in the sect are the Sect Master and the two Grand Elder, Liu and Su."

"The Four Great Families have a total of three True Lord: Old Master Gao from Yang Gao City, Ling Gu Old Master Jin, and Jin Baorui, the current Jin Family Patriarch."

"In addition, there are the Three Dragon True Lord who come from unorthodox sects."

"And True Lord Hua Jian, who came from the south and is stationed here to combat Spirit Thief."

After finishing his sentence, Zhang Cunfu thought carefully for a moment, then nodded. "That's all I know."

He added to himself, "If your raid on the blessed land warehouse attracts pursuers, that doesn't count."

Are there a total of eight Nascent Soul?

Xiao Chen had already seen five Nascent Soul True Lord traveling together, so he wasn't particularly surprised.

But to be honest, that's quite a lot.

As expected, with the increase in the total number of Golden Core cultivator, the number of Nascent Soul True Lord also increased accordingly.

After all, many cultivators, even if they are not very confident, will at least try to break through to the Nascent Soul Formation when they get older.

Although the success rate is low, the sheer number of them makes up for it.

It's important to understand that even without Breakthrough Spirit Pill or Breakthrough Secret Method, failure isn't guaranteed.

There are always people who can successfully Nascent Soul Formation solely through their own talent or luck.

"However, the Four Great Families only have three True Lord?"

Xiao Chen was somewhat puzzled. "Moreover, the Jin Family already has two members, so how come the Pingyi Cai Family and the Hongqiu Shang Family can be ranked alongside them?"

Is this a force of this caliber?

Zhang Cunfu quickly explained, "So that the True Lord may know that these two families are also of great importance."

"The Pingyi Cai Family once had an exceptionally powerful ancestor whose mastery of formations Path of Arrays."

"Based on the location of our family home, we meticulously designed a Linked Grand Array to protect our clan."

"Once the formation is activated, even if two True Lord join forces to break through, they may not be able to succeed and could even be injured."

"Therefore, although no True Lord has appeared for four consecutive generations, the family has not fallen into disgrace."

"It still wields considerable influence in Pingyi and its surrounding areas."

"I've heard that the formation can last for at least three hundred years, and if a new True Lord can be cultivated during this period, its prestige can be restored."

From what Xiao Chen heard, it was clear that a Mountain Protecting Grand Array had been set up in his own home.

Moreover, their ancestors must have been wealthy, accumulating a considerable network of connections and Spirit Stone.

Others also knew they were difficult to attack, so for the time being no one openly targeted them.

Zhang Cunfu continued to explain, "As for the Hongqiu Shang Family, there are two reasons."

"Firstly, because Old Master Shang passed away less than sixty years ago, and he had a very good relationship with Elder Liu and Elder Luo during his lifetime."

"He has quite a good network of connections within the sect and in the Holy City."

"Although there are no Nascent Soul in the clan, there are several Golden Core Great Perfection. This means they won't be bullied by rogue cultivators, and there's a great chance that a new True Lord will be born."

"Secondly, the reason why Old Master Shang died unexpectedly was because he was pursuing the rebels..."

Zhang Cunfu paused for a moment. "It's because they were courting death and dared to oppose the great figures of the Rebellious Immortal Alliance."

"Therefore, it is not convenient for the other major Lineage to take action against the Shang Family in the short term, lest they be regarded as a public enemy by the others."

To put it bluntly, they're worried about their own family.

If such a precedent is set, then if our own family encounters a similar situation in the future, we will also be vulnerable to exploitation.

At the same time, Gui Yun Sect will also take care of the Shang Family, since this can be considered an accident caused by 'official business'.

Therefore, for a period of time, they will acknowledge the Shang Family's status.

This makes sense in explaining why the Four Great Families are ranked on equal footing.

Do you know any more detailed information?

Xiao Chen continued to press, "For example, the characteristics of the various True Lord Cultivation Method, and what powerful Spirit Artifact each True Lord possesses, etc."

"In short, try to recall everything that relates to them, and then tell me everything."

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win every battle." It's always good to know more information.

However, Xiao Chen's request put Zhang Cunfu in a difficult position.

In all honesty, he was just a minor Golden Core cultivator, not even close to the Golden Core Great Perfection.

How could they possibly know the secrets about the Nascent Soul True Lord?

Is this a question he should answer?

But Zhang Cunfu could only complain inwardly; on the surface, he had to think carefully and try to give a good answer so as not to anger Xiao Chen.

So he Meditation, putting his mind to work, and put all his thoughts into it.

I managed to piece together a few vague pieces of information from some rumors and gossip I had heard in the past.

Wait a minute.

After listening for a few minutes, Xiao Chen immediately stopped him. "Why are you always saying 'I heard' or 'it seems'? Can't you say something reliable?"

"If I want to hear a story, I can go to the restaurant directly. Why would I need to find you?"

Zhang Cunfu was practically going crazy.

Fortunately, Xiao Chen immediately followed up by asking, "You just need to tell me the more reliable information."

"Those things whose authenticity cannot be confirmed need not be discussed."

After thinking for a moment, Zhang Cunfu said with certainty, "Our sect leader has a pair of jade rings. They appear to be made of jade, but they are extremely sturdy."

"It has the power to cut through gold and silver, and the might to shatter mountains and break rocks."

"I once used this treasure to overpower a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator when I was in the Nascent Soul Early Stage, forcing him to admit defeat on the spot."

"This is all I can confirm. Everything else is hearsay, and I really can't be sure about it."

That's all he knows; even this one he's only heard about, not seen with his own eyes.

However, since many disciples at the time were witnesses and privately confirmed that it was true, its reliability is relatively high.

There's no way around it; if there really were a battle Nascent Soul, very few Golden Core would dare to gather around and watch.

Given a choice, everyone would definitely stay far away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.

Xiao Chen could understand his difficulties, and after thinking for a moment, he changed his question to, "Then do you know where I can obtain similar information?"

"And didn't you say last time that there was a connection within the blessed land?"

"If I provide you with Spirit Stone and Fourth-Order Spiritual Item, are you confident you can exchange them for some information?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cunfu's eyes immediately lit up.

This is a great opportunity!

You know what, he's actually quite popular within the sect.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to get to the position of warehouse manager; after all, the prerequisite for giving gifts is being able to make connections.

He quickly nodded. "To be honest, True Lord, if there are any spiritual items, I should be able to bring out a few pieces of information from within the sect."

"However, the original document is probably very difficult to find; it's more likely a small note that was copied from."

"And it also costs a lot of Spirit Stone."
