A Base and a Search for Information
"The Treasure Pavilion in Scarlet Dragon City is buying Void Nether Stone?"
After Shen Chun left, Li Yunjing fell into deep thought.
While Void Nether Stone is extremely rare, its supply and demand have remained remarkably stable.
Generally speaking, there is unlikely to be a surge in demand for Void Nether Stone.
After all, the only use of the Void Nether Stone is to make storage Law Artifact, and the amount mined is relatively stable.
Even most sects and Lineage would store a batch of Void Nether Stone for unforeseen circumstances.
Therefore, the current situation in Scarlet Dragon City forced Li Yunjing to carefully consider what had happened.
Wanting to figure out what had happened, Li Yunjing thought of one person— Luo Qiyuan.
Luo Qiyuan was originally the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Xunxian Town. Later, he was promoted and went to Scarlet Dragon City to become the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Scarlet Dragon City.
Li Yunjing and Luo Qiyuan had a good relationship.
Although Luo Qiyuan did not attend the previous Golden Core Elixir Ceremony in person, he sent a congratulatory gift through a messenger.
As the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Scarlet Dragon City, Luo Qiyuan must have known some of this information.
With this thought in mind, Li Yunjing decided to ask someone to send him a visiting card; he wanted to pay a visit to Luo Qiyuan.
Regarding the matter of the visiting card, Li Yunjing plans to the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance to complete it.
It just so happens that there is also a branch of the Immortal Alliance in Crimson Scarlet Dragon City.
After leaving Luozhen Sect, Li Yunjing headed straight for Xunxian Town.
He immediately plunged into the Xunxian Town Immortal Alliance. Before he had taken more than a few steps, Li Yunjing ran into Sikong Ying.
"Yunjing, how did you get here so timely?" Sikong Ying was very surprised to see Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing frowned. "What's wrong?"
"You don't know? Could it be that the disciple who delivered the message didn't explain it clearly to you?" Sikong Ying asked, equally puzzled.
However, Sikong Ying didn't dwell on these trivial matters. He quickly pulled Li Yunjing to the lobby of Know-It-All.
"There's finally news about the matter you asked me to handle!" Sikong Ying said as she walked.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing's eyes lit up immediately:
"Senior Master Sikong, please tell me quickly!"
"In the central part of the Five Aggregates Plain, there is a Purple Forest Mountain, and inside that is a stronghold of Devil Cultivator."
"Purple Forest Mountain..." Relevant information flashed through Li Yunjing's mind.
Purple Forest Mountain is quite well-known in Five Aggregates Plain.
This mountain was once the most spiritually rich mountain in the Five Aggregates Plain.
Not only are there extremely rich kinds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but also various rare birds and animals living in Purple Forest Mountain.
Therefore, Purple Forest Mountain was once revered as a sacred place by the cultivators of Five Aggregates Plain.
Many Rogue Cultivator, and even some sects and Lineage, rely on this sacred mountain for survival.
For some unknown reason, the spiritual energy of Purple Forest Mountain gradually disappeared, eventually turning it into a lifeless, spiritless mountain.
"They actually hid here... Senior Sikong, are you able to ascertain the strength of the Devil Cultivator within this stronghold?" Li Yunjing asked.
Sikong Ying said with a smile, "We've already investigated thoroughly. After joint surveillance by multiple Immortal Alliance branches, the strongest Devil Cultivator cultivator in this stronghold is only at the Nascent Soul Perfection stage; there are no Spirit Transformation."
Upon hearing this result, a glint of light flashed in Li Yunjing's eyes.
That's good, very good.
Li Yunjing has quite a few Nascent Soul Perfection.
If necessary, Li Yunjing could bring over all the Nascent Soul Perfection from the Mysterious Female Dao Realm.
"Alright, then this will be the base. Senior Sikong, please inform the cultivators within the Five Aggregates Plain."
I, Li Yunjing, intend to curb the arrogance of the Devil Cultivator and take action against Devil Cultivator stronghold.
"Let's see how many like-minded people in the Five Aggregates Plain are willing to fight alongside me," Li Yunjing said with a smile.
"Yes, I will convey your words exactly as they were," Sikong Ying said.
Then, Li Yunjing asked Sikong Ying to convey to the Scarlet Dragon City Immortal Alliance that he wanted to visit Luo Qiyuan.
After recounting this matter, Li Yunjing returned to the Luozhen Sect.
He was going to take the Luozhen Sect Scarlet Dragon City Scarlet Dragon City, which was quite a distance from Xunxian Town.
After arriving in Scarlet Dragon City via the teleportation array, Li Yunjing went directly to the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
The Treasure Gathering Pavilion in Scarlet Dragon City is very eye-catching. It is built in the center of the city and is shaped like a gold ingot.
Since the Scarlet Dragon City Immortal Alliance had already sent a letter of invitation, Li Yunjing was immediately greeted by someone upon entering the Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Li Yunjing followed the waiter to the VIP room. After waiting for a while, Luo Qiyuan pushed open the door and walked in.
"Sect Leader Li, how have you been?"
Luo Qiyuan smiled, cupped his hands in greeting, and walked towards Li Yunjing.
Li Yunjing also stood up and greeted them with a smile.
After exchanging a few pleasantries, they both sat down.
Luo Qiyuan took out a small pinch of blue tea leaves, put them into the teapot, and began to brew tea.
"Sect Leader Li, this is the Cold Jade Tea that I obtained with great difficulty. It has a unique flavor." Luo Qiyuan said with a smile.
Li Yunjing smiled and nodded, noticing that Luo Qiyuan had also passed the Foundation Establishment and become Golden Core cultivator.
"Shopkeeper Luo, you've reached the Golden Core too! I haven't had a proper chance to congratulate you yet," Li Yunjing said.
Luo Qiyuan waved his hand. "There's nothing to congratulate me on. My cultivation level is far inferior to that of Sect Leader Li."
After Luo Qiyuan finished brewing the tea and poured a cup for Li Yunjing, Luo Qiyuan asked, "By the way, what brings you here today, Sect Leader Li?"
"What, can't I even come to see Shopkeeper Luo?" Li Yunjing said with a smile.
Then Li Yunjing suppressed his smile, "Of course, coming to see Shopkeeper Luo is one reason, but there's another one."
I've heard that the Treasure Pavilion in Scarlet Dragon City is buying up Void Nether Stone at high prices. Shopkeeper Luo, as the manager of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, must know some inside information.
I hope Shopkeeper Luo can share some insights so I can also earn some Spirit Stone.
Upon hearing this, Luo Qiyuan's expression gradually became serious.
He remained silent and did not speak immediately.
Li Yunjing noticed something was wrong and immediately asked, "Shopkeeper Luo, what's wrong? Is it some kind of trade secret that you can't tell me?"
Luo Qiyuan nodded helplessly. "I hope Sect Leader Li understands, it does indeed involve trade secrets."
Upon hearing this, Li Yunjing frowned immediately.
However, he did not insist that Luo Qiyuan reveal this trade secret.
After all, Luo Qiyuan was a member of the Treasure Gathering Pavilion, and he still needed to work Treasure Gathering Pavilion; he couldn't possibly betray Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
"In that case, I have said too much," Li Yunjing said.
Luo Qiyuan smiled faintly again, "Sect Leader Li, there is no need to be disappointed. Although I cannot tell you, I can point you in the right direction."
Go to the Scarlet Dragon City. There's a small shop called "Worry-Relief Shop." Talk to the shopkeeper, and he'll tell you what happened.
Li Yunjing silently made a mental note of this.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Luo."
Luo Qiyuan shook his head. "Don't thank me. I just hope that after Sect Leader Li knows what happened, he will still consider me a friend."
At this point, Luo Qiyuan finished his tea in one gulp, then informed Li Yunjing that he had something to attend to, and immediately left.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing was very puzzled as to why Luo Qiyuan was acting this way.
However, since Luo Qiyuan had already left, there was no need for Li Yunjing to stay any longer.
He didn't even drink the tea before leaving Treasure Gathering Pavilion.
Heading to the Scarlet Dragon City, Li Yunjing searched for the shop called Worry-Relief Shop).
"The Worry-Relief Shop, what a familiar name," Li Yunjing thought as he walked.
He clearly remembered that there used to be a "Worry-Relief Shop" in Xunxian Town, and Li Yunjing had even sought help from that Worry-Relief Shop.
Later, it was discovered that the owner of the Worry-Relief Shop" was actually an undercover agent of the Corpse Yin Cult.
Shaking his head, Li Yunjing suddenly spotted the shop called the Worry-Relief Shop".
