Myriad Connections
"Are you sure you can handle this? If not, we'll find someone else who can! We finally managed to buy information about this abandoned cave abode, which is suspected to belong to Nascent Soul Cultivator, on the black market. Don't let your dawdling cause someone else to beat us to it!"
They were very anxious, after all, this information had been bought from the black market for one hundred Spirit Stone.
At a price of one hundred Spirit Stone, it's obvious that it's impossible to sell it only to them.
They recently reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement Refining, and the Lineage was worried that their advancement to Foundation Establishment would be difficult, so they sent them out to gain some experience.
Not long after they left, they arrived at Yuanling City, which was not far from their Lineage. Coincidentally, the black market in Yuanling City had just opened, and they took advantage of the situation to buy the first-hand information from the Myriad Connections Information Shop on its opening day.
However, as news of the black market's opening spread, it was bound to be bought up by different people sooner or later.
This is the abandoned cave abode of Nascent Soul Cultivator! When the time comes, many Foundation Establishment and even Golden Core cultivators will inevitably come after hearing the news. At that time, the three Qi Refining cultivators won't even have a chance to drink soup.
Although the news shop only said that the news was 80% true, Myriad Connections Information Shop was the most authoritative news channel in the entire Southern Spirit Domain. Even those who had been cultivating in seclusion in their Lineage had heard of Myriad Connections Information Shop's reputation.
Myriad Connections says it's 80% genuine, then it's practically guaranteed to be authentic!
So even though one hundred Spirit Stone was a considerable sum for the three Qi Refining cultivators, they gritted their teeth and bought it.
After all, they had all heard that every time Myriad Connections spread news of an abandoned cave abode, the first person to successfully enter the cave abode mentioned in the news received a reward that was hundreds or thousands of times more valuable than the price of the news!
If they can enter and successfully obtain the fortuitous opportunity of this Nascent Soul Cultivator's cave abode, not to mention Foundation Establishment, even Golden Core shouldn't be too difficult!
However, the three Qi Refining cultivators, who were new to the field, clearly lacked a clear understanding of themselves. They only thought that this was the cave abode of Nascent Soul Cultivator, and there must be many treasures or fortuitous opportunity, but they forgot that their cultivation was only at the Qi Refining, and whether they could even get in was a question.
These three cultivators were all under thirty years old. In the past, they had been carefully nurtured and cultivated as the Lineage Lineage. They were mostly theoretical in their understanding of worldly affairs and had always grown up under the halo of their Lineage ' hopes. Now, when they actually encountered a problem, they were at a loss.
It was already night outside.
The bright moon hangs leisurely in the night sky, surrounded by twinkling stars that watch over the earth.
Liao Pantu was fast asleep inside the house.
He had no idea that three Qi Refining cultivators outside were eyeing his cave abode.
Meanwhile, at this very moment, in the newly established room at the headquarters of Wanwantong in the Southern Spirit Domain, Myriad Connections miles away, responsible for disseminating information about the sale to Yuanling City, a Golden Core cultivator dressed in yellow walked in and said to the people inside:
"The latest update from above says that the Nascent Soul cave abode, abandoned for decades, nine hundred miles north of Yuanling City, has suddenly shown signs of life today. After the Seventh Spirit Venerable's divination, it is preliminarily believed that the master has returned. Quickly send this message to the Yuanling City branch and intercept the news to stop the sale!"
Inside the room, the Golden Core cultivator responsible for sending messages to Yuanling City immediately relayed the message to Yuanling City through Myriad Connections's specialized express communication method.
Not long after, he received a reply from the other end.
After hearing this, he turned to the Golden Core cultivator behind him who had relayed the message and said:
"Alright, I've already taken that message back and stopped posting it. They said the black market just opened today, so there aren't many people. This message only sold one copy right after it opened, and the customers were just a few low-level Qi Refining cultivators, nothing to worry about."
Upon hearing this, the yellow-robed cultivator breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good. But even though they're only three Qi Refining cultivators, tell them to keep an eye on things and not let them ruin Myriad Connections's reputation. If it's necessary to take action, make sure they handle it cleanly, lest the powerful figures behind these Qi Refining cultivators find out."
The Golden Core cultivator inside the room laughed:
"Don't worry, Myriad Connections's reputation won't be ruined."
Then he added:
"It's strange, though. I remember that the Third Spirit Venerable specifically calculated the location of that Nascent Soul cave abode a few days ago for the upcoming opening of his shop in Yuanling City. He planned to use it as the grand finale for the cave abode ruins. Wasn't it said that there hadn't been a single sign of human activity in that cave abode for decades?"
How could such a blunder happen on the very day of the opening? The Third Spirit Venerable is the one who makes the fewest mistakes among the nine Spirit Venerables...
The yellow-robed cultivator simply shook his head and said:
"Who can say for sure? But don't go around saying this, or it might reach the ears of the Third Spirit Venerable, and then you'll be in trouble at Myriad Connections..."
"Of course, I just spoke without thinking. Please don't take my words to heart, senior."
"That's easy to say, but in a couple of days, the higher-ups will send another batch of information to Yuanling City to replenish supplies. When that happens, you'll have to save a few good pieces of news about the new cave abode that arrive here for me."
"Hey, this is nothing, don't worry, senior, I've got it covered!"
Having received his reply, the yellow-robed monk turned and left the liaison office in Yuanling City.
As soon as he stepped outside, the smile on his face vanished completely, and he glanced at the closed door with an extremely indifferent look.
He sneered inwardly, "The day you send me the message privately in two days will be the day you are expelled from Myriad Connections!"
--
The next morning, Lin Xiao, having had a good sleep, finally opened his eyes. Looking at the dark, jade-like Soul-Nourishing Wood headboard, he was momentarily stunned.
He slept very comfortably, feeling it was the most comfortable sleep he had ever had in his life.
As he sat up, he saw Senior Liao enjoying tea at a gleaming gold table not far away.
This Senior Liao truly has a deep and unwavering passion for tea.
Liao Pantu, who was pouring himself tea, saw him sit up and said calmly:
"Since you're up, come over here. Let me tell you about the situation in the Southern Spirit Domain we're in."
"The Immortal Cultivation Realm is vast, so vast that even I, who have reached the Nascent Soul stage, still have many places I haven't been to. The region we are currently in is called the Southern Spirit Domain. Within the Southern Spirit Domain, there are thirty-six cities and eighteen sects. Each city has several cultivation Lineage. And the Southern Spirit Domain is considered a remote area within the Immortal Cultivation Realm."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao was quite surprised. He never imagined that someone as powerful as Senior Liao would still have so many places to visit in the Immortal Cultivation Realm, and that the location of his cave abode dwelling was considered a remote place even by the Immortal Cultivation Realm!
