Of course, there are still some restrictions, such as if you want to buy information about the Liu Yun Sect or Qing Yun City, it won’t be available.
Still, there are other hidden places in Qing Yun City where information can be purchased.
However, the information he is buying now is only the detailed information about an accomplishment task, there is really nothing to keep confidential. Additionally, buying from Wan Bao Tower, the information will be extremely accurate and there will be no deception.
After arriving at Wan Bao Tower, Lin Yi stated his intention to purchase information, and was led into a separate room. There was a Noise Isolation Array Method in the room, preventing the possibility of being overheard by others.
A Cultivator who had reached the Large Completion of Qi Refining received him, and on seeing the Inner Sect Identity Plaque, also showed a degree of politeness, “Junior Brother, may I know what information you wish to buy?”
Lin Yi immediately said: “Senior Brother, I want to know the specifics of the outbreak of evil spirits in the mortal world Cangshan City under our Liu Yun Sect’s jurisdiction, including the strength and the number of the strongest evil spirits.”
The Cultivator who was at the Large Completion of Qi Refining gently nodded his head, did not ask further, and after pondering for a moment said: “Junior Brother, this information will be available to you within three days, a deposit of one hundred Spirit Stones will be required, the final price is adjusted based on the difficulty of obtaining the information, more will be refunded if the information is easily obtained, more would be needed if otherwise.”
“If we fail to obtain the information, the deposit will be fully refunded, please leave your Communication Talisman.”
“Thank you, Senior Brother.” Lin Yi took out one hundred Spirit Stones and his own Communication Talisman from the Storage Bag, and placed them both on the table, then left Wan Bao Tower.
After leaving Wan Bao Tower, he did not return directly to the Inner Sect Cave Mansion, but checked the time and went into a tea house.
After a short while, the figure of Xu Zhi Wu appeared in front of him. Seeing
Lin Yi, a look of excitement appeared on his face, he quickly approached and gave a salute, “Master Lin.”
After being rescued by Lin Yi, he had been living in Qing Yun City, but he had always insisted on coming to this tea house where they had once agreed to meet.
However, after more than half a year, he had never seen Lin Yi, which left him a bit disappointed, he didn’t expect a miracle to happen.
“Brother Xu, it’s been half a year, how have you been.” Lin Yi said with a smile on his face.
“l appreciate Master Lin’s concern, everything is going well, 1 also need to thank the master for the job he introduced.” Xu Zhi Wu said with a look of gratitude.
Lin Yi waved his hand and smiled, “It was nothing.”
He had previously introduced Xu Zhi Wu to Meng Wei Min, who at the time was the Steward of the original ‘B’ Spiritual Field Area. Now, two years had passed, and Meng Wei Min had been promoted to the position of Deacon of the Sinong Palace.
Under Meng Wei Min’s arrangement, Xu Zhi Wu was able to enter the Outer
Sect Spiritual Field Area, use special tools, and help the Spirit Farmers harvest Spirit Rice.
This was a job many warriors of Qing Yun City coveted. After all, by spending some energy, one could earn Spirit Pearls.
As for letting Xu Zhi Wu continue to sell talisman templates, that wasn’t a permanent solution.
He still made some talisman templates now, but they were all at the level of
Great Perfection, kept for personal use, and occasionally given some to Li Yuan Qing.
Especially after the incident with evil spirits, and his enmity with the Xuan Yin Sect, made Lin Yi remain cautious and not expose his talisman templates of the Great Perfection level rashly for fear of retribution.
Of course, he could also make some adept or Great Achievement Level talisman templates, but there seems to be no sense to do so, rather, it would be better to find a long-term job for Xu Zhi Wu.
“May I ask if the Immortal Master has any orders.” Xu Zhi Wu said with a look of expectation on his face,
“I want to know the place in the mortal realm closest to Liu Yun Sect. A place with abnormally wicked ordinary people, those who have killed countless people.” Lin Yi, using a Noise Isolation Talisman, asked Xu Zhi Wu.
He just wanted to take advantage of the period waiting for information from
Cang Mountain City, to go and kill some evildoers, and earn some Virtue Points.
The Martial Artists travel far and wide, and have a wide range of experiences.
Inquiring them is the most appropriate method, as opposed to gathering rumors from tea houses and taverns, as those could be inaccurate.
In the Heng Yuan World, although there is an unwritten rule that cultivators can’t get too involved in the mundane world, this does not include slaying evil people.
When dealing with evildoers, he showed no sympathy and didn’t play the saint; the sooner they died, the sooner they were reincarnated.
Xu Zhi Wu was not particularly surprised. He had also met cultivators in the mortal world who were chivalrous and slew villains with their passion.
However, such cultivators were very rare, almost as scarce as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Most of those who had made some progress in their cultivation would want to show off in the mortal world and showcase the demeanor of a cultivator.
He pondered for a moment, then said: “Master Lin, the closest to the Liu Yun Sect are a group of villains calling themselves the Green Mountain Bandits near Qing Shi City. Unlike other bandits who just steal, they kill all of their victims, capturing women to be their camp wives.”
At this point, he shook his head, “But their movements are unpredictable, and they are very strong. We have no idea where their lair is.”
Lin Yi seemed to remember that when he had previously joined a caravan heading to Qing Shi City, he had also heard of these bandits. This was why he was able to join the caravan halfway— to bolster their strength.
Although they encountered some bandits along the way, the Green Mountain Bandits were not amongst them. Perhaps the caravan was too strong for the bandits to rashly attack.
He also asked at the time whether the stationed Immortal Master around Qing Shi City would be dealing with these matters and the response was affirmative. The stationed Immortal Masters would only handle matters related to the Cultivation World and would not get involved in the affairs of the mortal world.
This matter had been forgotten, but it came up again this time, and quite opportunistically.
“Brother Xu, thanks for the explanation.” Lin Yi took out a small bag and handed it to Xu Zhi Wu.
“Master Lin, it’s just a small matter. You’re too polite.” Xu Zhi Wu refused without hesitation. After all, the ability to stay in Qing Yun City for a long time was also thanks to Lin Yi.
Seeing this, Lin Yi did not withdraw his hand but laughed and said, “This is not a Spirit Stone. You might want to take a look first.”
Only then did Xu Zhi Wu take the bag and found a porcelain vial inside it. Upon opening the vial and sniffing, his face instantly displayed excitement. It contained Qi and Blood Pills, which are very helpful for the cultivation of warriors.
The Qi and Blood Pills are also useful for the refinement of a cultivator’s body, but there are very few body refining cultivators, so these pills generally don’t have a market. Ordinary martial artists can’t afford them, so gradually, no pill masters were willing to make them.
“Take it. I need to go.” Lin Yi patted Xu Zhi Wu on the shoulder and left the teahouse with a laugh.
He had created these Qi and Blood Pills from some materials he had bought when he was idle. These pills were also somewhat helpful for his current level of body refinement, although the effect was minimal. These pills were a kind of basic elixir that was relatively easy to refine.
However, for a warrior, they were considered a divine cure.
Then, he went to Wan Bao Tower to purchase information about the Green Mountain Bandits in Qing Shi City. Spending some spirit stones for accurate information would help him stay safe. He didn’t want an apparently simple task to turn out catastrophic.
The information about the Green Mountain Bandits seemed easy to get. Lin Yi had just returned to Jin Qiao Peak Cave Mansion when a Communication Talisman flew outside the mansion.
Upon activating it, it detailed the specific information about the Green Mountain Bandits and stated that the bill would be totaled with the next piece of information.
After listening to the communication, Lin Yi memorized it. Behind this group of Green Mountain Bandits lay a cultivator of the Qi Refining Three Layers. No wonder they were so rampant in the Mortal World.
Although the Mortal World’s spiritual energy was sparse making it seem like a desert for cultivators, some Loose Cultivators who had fallen on hard times in the Cultivation World could only come to the Mortal World to rule.
Of course, they wouldn’t go to the mortal cities under the jurisdiction of the Ten Major Sects, but instead to some more remote cities. They controlled everything from behind and as long as they didn’t cause too much trouble, the Ten Major Sects wouldn’t bother to interfere.
There were also those like the Green Mountain Bandits who claimed mountains as their kingdom and robbed passerby. But they rarely made their moves and the immortals guarding the nearby cities didn’t seem to want to deal with them either.
After all, the more responsibilities they had, the more burdensome it would be. They came to the Mortal World to guard only for the sake of gaining merit.
However, for Lin Yi, this band of Green Mountain Bandits was a treasure trove of virtue points and experience. According to the information from Wan Bao Tower, every member of the Green Mountain Bandits was brutally evil and had killed many people.
Killing them not only served justice to the public but also became an aid to Lin Yi’s cultivation path..
