Disguised as an elderly man at the Nascent Soul late stage, Song Wen entered a shop in a quiet alley.
Over the past few days, he had visited more than a hundred shops, large and small, throughout Shangchu City, but had failed to buy what he wanted.
This little shop sold information. Whether one was looking for a person or hunting for treasure, one could inquire here.
There was no one inside except an old woman with a weathered face.
"What information are you after, customer?" the old woman asked flatly, seated behind the counter without moving.
"Does your shop have any information about yin-sinking water?" Song Wen asked. "It is water of utmost yin..."
