The Liao brothers had originally had a choice: go to the Tiantong Merchant Alliance and gather information.
But after seeing Huahua fly into Tiantong's courtyard, they knew they could not do that—if Tiantong intended to protect that gu insect, how could they make a move against it?
So they could only spend a little money to learn about the place from the "shopping guides."
Those qualified to be shopping guides were all quick-witted people. Taking money to get things done was perfectly normal, but they would not mention Divine Doctor Feng's immortal identity—even though most people already knew.
Speaking carelessly about immortals was itself a capital offense. Even among the mortals of Pacify Arms Mountain, people only hinted at it indirectly and would never say it outright. They were even more cautious before these two outsiders.
Otherwise, if word got out, Feng Jun would not even need to act. The descendants of those great families would teach them what it meant for disaster to come from one's mouth—those family descendants were stationed here for more than just making money; they also hoped to gain more opportunities.
It sounded as though people's desires were endless, but human desire had always been endless. Besides, they were not merely daydreaming—Mi Yunshan was the clearest example.
Since those family descendants held such hopes in their hearts, they naturally did not want more people to know, lest their own opportunities be diluted.
Because of this, the Liao brothers could only gather knowledge from the mortal sphere.
