Chapter 77 Supernatural Power [Heavenly Eye], Purchasing Intelligence
Qin Chengcheng mustered a burst of spiritual energy and flew more than a thousand miles away.
The spiritual energy within his body had long been exhausted, and the few remaining wisps of energy in his meridians were like candles flickering in the wind.
She staggered and landed on a desolate mountaintop, her plain white robes soaked with dark red blood, fluttering in the mountain wind.
Looking around, the world is vast and desolate—the Miaoyin Pavilion is gone forever, but in this vast world of cultivation, there is nowhere to go.
In a daze, she looked in the direction of Lake and Sea Market.
There seems to be some kind of pull in the dark, and I always feel that the fragments of memories from the past few years are inexplicably connected to that place.
But after a moment's thought, she ultimately did not turn back immediately.
In a deserted mountain cave, she took a healing pill and recovered in half a day.
Then, he summoned his flying boat, turned his escape light, and sped off towards Qingfeng Immortal City, 20,000 miles to the west.
That third-tier city has abundant spiritual energy, making it an excellent choice for healing.
Three days later, a pale-faced female cultivator arrived at the West Market of Qingfeng City.
She was dressed in plain robes, had an ordinary appearance, and was at the early stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation. She looked like a middle-aged woman in her thirties and was not conspicuous in the crowd.
When the city guards checked her identity jade token, she registered the name "Chen Su," which was a temporary, fake identity.
Upon arriving at the city's rental accommodations, she chose a mid-grade second-tier spiritual vein cave dwelling for recuperation.
"Cave dwelling number 27 in Zone A, thirty spirit stones per month." The disciple in charge handed over the restriction token without looking up.
After receiving the token and entering the cave, Qin Chengcheng's first action was to take out three sets of array flags:
One set of soundproof array, one set of concealment array, and the most precious set of Three Talents Protection Array can even temporarily resist the detection of a Core Formation Divine Sense.
As the last array pattern lit up, she suddenly froze.
Inside the storage bag, the jade ruler was somehow already in his hand, its tip unconsciously tracing the structure of the secret room on the bluestone floor.
She wanted to dig a secret chamber inside the cave.
What's wrong with me?
"What exactly has happened in the past few years?"
"Hidden cultivation level, changed appearance, set up formations, dug secret chambers—how did I become like this?"
She didn't know where that aloof and proud woman had gone; these actions were all subconscious, and she didn't know why they came about.
and,
She still needed to figure out a crucial question: how was the restriction on her soul broken, and what was the deal with the wood and water attribute soul power that had seeped into her soul?
She could sense that this soul power was not something she was born with, but rather something transferred to her by other cultivators.
This means that she has already used the Phoenix Dance Nine Heavens technique.
With whom?
Could it be that cook? No, it couldn't be him!
But why do I owe that cook such a huge favor?
What exactly is our relationship?
Countless questions lingered in my mind.
Although Qin Chengcheng has temporarily broken free from the shackles of the soul restriction and the confinement of her sect master, there are still many questions waiting for her to answer.
She decided that once her injuries healed, she would return to Lake Sea Market to get to the bottom of everything.
Since I lost my memories of the past few years there, the answer should also be there.
Miaoyin Peak, the summit.
After a brief silence and inner turmoil,
Lin Fan issued a gag order to the entire Miaoyin Sect.
"No one is to divulge what happened today; anyone who does so will be punished according to the clan rules!"
At the same time, he also asked Xu Tianyue and the other members of the Jade Dragon Sect not to tell anyone.
This matter concerns a scandal within the Miaoyin Pavilion, and if it gets out, it will also damage the reputation of the Jade Dragon Sect.
After all, the wife they spent a lot of money to "buy" ran away.
Xu Tianyue expressed his understanding.
The two sat down again and discussed how to handle the aftermath.
Xu Tianyue said, "Since Qin Chengcheng is unwilling to become a Daoist partner with a disciple of our sect, there are only two options—either, Miaoyin Pavilion will select another Foundation Establishment disciple who has mastered the 'Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens' to marry her; or, the betrothal gifts will be returned, and this matter will be dropped!"
Lin Fan couldn't make either of these choices.
Miaoyinfang's foundation is still shallow. Apart from Qin Chengcheng, there is no other Foundation Establishment disciple who has mastered the [Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens] technique.
His youngest daughter, Lin Xiaoyu, has only just begun her cultivation journey. Even if she achieves something in the future, Lin Fan's goal is the Qi Kingdom's royal family, not the mere Jade Dragon Sect.
He had already used those betrothal gifts for his cultivation, so how could he possibly have the resources to repay them now?
Therefore, Lin Fan could only shake his head, unable to provide a bride for his disciple or return the betrothal gifts.
Xu Tianyue was displeased. "So what does Sect Leader Lin intend to do? Does he intend to take my Jade Dragon Sect's betrothal gifts for free?"
Just as Lin Fan and Xu Tianyue were locked in a stalemate, unable to advance or retreat, a soft yet firm voice suddenly came from the corner—
"Master! Your disciple is willing to marry in place of the sect and become a Daoist partner with Xu Shixian, the grand-nephew of Elder Xu of the Jade Dragon Sect."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and discovered that the speaker was none other than Liu Jinjin, one of the true disciples of Miaoyin Pavilion.
She stumbled into the hall, her white dress stained with mud, her face pale, and a trace of blood still lingering at the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she was injured.
Xu Shixian, standing beside her, was equally disheveled, his clothes torn and his breathing disordered; he too had suffered a considerable loss.
The people in the hall looked at each other in bewilderment, and a moment of silence ensued.
"What happened to your injuries, and what about you and your nephew Xu Xian?"
Lin Fan asked the question that everyone had in mind.
Liu Jinjin took a deep breath and slowly explained:
"This disciple and Young Master Xu are deeply in love and have long pledged our lives to each other. However, after Senior Sister Qin emerged from seclusion and saw our affection, she became jealous and resentful, and severely injured us..."
Her voice was mournful, and her eyes were filled with tears, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Lin Fan was overjoyed!
He was worried about not being able to find a suitable disciple to marry into, but unexpectedly, Liu Jinjin volunteered!
In this way, not only can the issue of marriage be resolved, but he can also clear his name of "selling out his apprentices for personal gain," which is a double win!
"well!"
Lin Fan smiled broadly and turned to Xu Tianyue, "Elder Xu, since they are mutually in love, we, as elders, should naturally give our blessing!"
Xu Tianyue's face darkened, and he cursed inwardly: This Liu Jinjin, how dare she scheme against my grand-nephew?!
He naturally did not want Xu Shixian to marry a worthless disciple of the Miaoyin Pavilion, and immediately said coldly:
"My grand-nephew is devoted to Taoism and has no plans to marry or start a family for the time being!"
However, Liu Jinjin was prepared.
She gently raised her hand, and a crystal-clear image-recording sphere appeared in her palm. She then infused it with spiritual energy, and a beam of light was projected out—
In the scene, Xu Shixian is making a vow to the heavens:
"I, Xu Shixian, swear today that I will marry Liu Jinjin as my principal wife. If I break this vow, may I be struck by lightning and my soul be annihilated!"
The entire audience erupted in uproar!
Xu Tianyue's face instantly turned ashen, his mind reeling: This idiot! He was actually manipulated like this by a female cultivator?!
Seeing this, Lin Fan burst into laughter and slammed his hand on the table, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Xu, look, the two young people have already pledged their lives to each other. If we were to obstruct them, it would be against the principles of human ethics."
Since you truly love each other and have a vow from Heaven as your witness, then there is no need for an engagement today—”
He waved his hand dismissively, "Guards! Prepare the hall; let's get married right away!"
Liu Jinjin's lips curled up slightly, a hint of triumph flashing in her eyes.
All her plans were for this day; she never expected happiness to come so quickly.
Xu Shixian stood there blankly, like a puppet on a string; he had never imagined things would turn out this way.
The oath of Heaven cannot be broken, or it will surely bring retribution. He could only grit his teeth and accept his fate, forced to accept this "unexpected marriage".
Xu Tianyue's face was gloomy, and he verbally berated Xu Shixian.
Then, suppressing his anger, he transmitted his voice to Lin Fan:
"Master Lin, you don't actually think that marrying Liu Jinjin will make up for the dowry of my Jade Dragon Sect, do you? She's not worth that price, and besides, she's marrying above her station!"
Lin Fan smiled slightly and responded telepathically:
"Elder Xu is right, it's not that simple. So, I, Lin Fan, will owe you a favor. If there's ever an emergency in the future, I'm willing to lend a hand. How about that?"
Xu Tianyue pondered in his heart that although he still felt he had lost out, the current situation was beyond saving.
He suddenly remembered—the third-order divine sense array at the bottom of the lake in Lake Sea Market!
If we can ask Lin Fan for help, we might be able to break through the great formation ahead of time and seize the opportunities within!
Because Lin Fan cultivates the Way of Music, he might not excel in direct combat, but cultivators of this school are generally very accomplished in the realm of the soul.
A glint flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice:
"Alright! Then, six months from now, please have Master Lin secretly come to Lake Sea Market to help me decipher the third-order divine sense array at the bottom of the lake. If successful, this matter will be settled!"
Lin Fan's heart skipped a beat, and he readily agreed:
"It's a deal!"
In an effort to save face for both families, Miaoyinfang and Yulongzong hastily arranged a wedding that very day, announcing to the outside world that the two Foundation Establishment disciples had fallen in love and become Daoist partners.
Therefore, Lin Fan personally called Liu Jinjin to the secret room to heal her injuries from Qin Chengcheng's beating. After the injuries healed, the two of them left more than a quarter of an hour later.
Liu Jinjin got what she wanted, Xu Shixian was left speechless with bitterness, and Xu Tianyue felt he had lost face, lost the betrothal gifts, and his grand-nephew had been tricked by a vixen.
If Lin Fan hadn't agreed to resolve the third-order divine sense array, he would have truly lost everything.
The Jade Dragon Sect members did not linger that day and left the Wonderful Sound Pavilion after the wedding.
The next day, Lin Fan summoned his daughter, Lin Xiaoyu, to his cave dwelling and solemnly instructed her:
"Xiaoyu, Qin Chengcheng has betrayed the sect. You must immediately set off for Lake and Sea Market to take over the affairs of Miaoyin Pavilion."
Lin Xiaoyu asked in confusion, "Father, why not just disband that small market town's Miaoyin Pavilion? Why bother with it anymore?"
"Managing the Myriad Sounds Pavilion is just a facade. After you arrive, you have a more important task: to secretly investigate whether there are any powerful soul cultivators at the late Core Formation stage in the Lake and Sea Market!"
"What?"
Lin Xiaoyu's pupils suddenly contracted.
"A late-stage Core Formation Soul Cultivator?"
Lin Fan nodded, a hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes:
"Your grandmaster once obtained an ancient soul restriction, which was planted in your Senior Sister Qin's soul. That restriction was extremely complex, and even I found it difficult to break easily. Yet she was able to escape unscathed and even broke through to the third level of her divine sense! This is definitely not something she could do on her own; there must have been a powerful figure helping her behind the scenes!"
He took out an antique jade pendant and handed it to Lin Xiaoyu:
"This is the sect's magic treasure, the Soul Tracing Jade, which can sense the fluctuations of third-level divine sense."
"Take this and secretly search for suspicious individuals in the market. Remember, you must be discreet during the investigation, avoid attracting attention, and absolutely do not offend anyone!"
Lin Xiaoyu nodded solemnly:
"My daughter understands and will act carefully."
"If you discover anything, you should only show goodwill discreetly and never rashly reveal the other party's identity."
If you offend me, even my father can't save you.
However, if you have prior knowledge of the situation and can seize this opportunity, it will be a great stroke of luck for you.
A soul cultivator in the late stage of Core Formation possesses a soul quality almost comparable to that of the future grandson of the imperial family who is aiming for the Purple Extreme True Core stage!
Lin Xiaoyu seemed to be deep in thought, then bowed and took her leave, preparing to depart.
Lin Fan watched his daughter's departing figure, thinking to himself: Let this girl go ahead and make the arrangements.
In six months, I will go there in person.
Inside a first-grade high-level spiritual vein cave in the Lake and Sea Market.
A young man dressed in a blue robe sat cross-legged, his body radiating spiritual energy and exuding a calm aura. He was none other than Chen Yi after his transformation.
A few days ago, he used the excuse of "escaping from Miaoyin Pavilion with serious injuries" to first purchase spiritual medicines and then casually rent a first-grade mid-level spiritual vein cave as a smokescreen.
When the night was deep and quiet, he quietly left. The next day, he returned to Lake Sea Market under a new identity—a low-key rogue cultivator—and rented this superior cave dwelling with a richer spiritual energy near his original residence.
Chen Yi did not choose to leave the market directly for several reasons:
Firstly, Qin Chengcheng's attack, which "seriously injured" him, actually cleared him of suspicion.
To outsiders, he was just an unlucky chef who was implicated, not someone who had a close relationship with Qin Chengcheng.
Secondly, the Lake and Sea Market is now completely different from what it used to be. Its prosperity is comparable to that of a second-tier market, and cultivators come and go like fish crossing a river, making it a diverse and bustling place.
He has cultivated his connections, resources, and intelligence network here for many years. If he were to leave rashly and seek another place, he might not be able to find a more convenient place for cultivation.
Then, and most importantly, the third-order array at the bottom of the lake provides him with an opportunity to temper his divine sense once a month.
Such a creation would be considered a rare treasure even within a sect's secret realm.
Given this opportunity, how could he easily give it up?
Finally, he wanted to observe the subsequent movements of Miaoyinfang.
If the turmoil subsides, he can continue to operate under the identity of "Chen Yi"; if the situation worsens, it will not be too late to flee.
Calm your mind,
Chen Yi sat cross-legged and began to organize his gains from this trip.
His spiritual energy flowed slowly like a stream, while his divine sense surged like a deep sea, constantly churning and condensing.
This time, helping Qin Chengcheng break through the divine soul restriction not only allowed him to glimpse the profound mysteries of the third-order divine consciousness, but also enabled the "Refining God Technique" to break through its shackles, and the third divine aperture "Heavenly Eye" suddenly opened, like a new star suddenly appearing in the night sky.
At this moment, he was weaving his insights into the foundation of his cultivation, with every transformation of his consciousness resonating with spiritual power.
Memories flashed back to the astonishing phenomenon when Qin Chengcheng broke through to the third tier—the lingering effects of the soul lightning tempering were still imprinted deep within his consciousness:
Purple lightning, like dragons and snakes dancing wildly, tore Qin Chengcheng's soul apart inch by inch.
Each bolt of lightning that struck was accompanied by a terrifying pressure that made Chen Yi's soul tremble.
Her sea of consciousness cycled between destruction and rebirth. Her wood-attribute divine consciousness transformed into emerald vines that entwined her wounds, while the drop of spiritual dew nourished the withered wood like morning dew, stimulating new buds to sprout in the scorched earth.
What was most shocking was the transformation deep within her sea of consciousness: the rhythmic ripples and the vitality of the green wood intertwined into a net, with the suppleness of water flowing and harmonizing within it, and the three elements perfectly blended together, transforming into dazzling points of light like starlight.
Ultimately, her entire sea of consciousness collapsed and rebuilt, transforming into a vast starry sky, with an ice crystal island suspended in the center—a manifestation of her divine soul essence.
Although Chen Yi's divine sense, which was involved, only touched the aftershocks of the soul lightning, it unexpectedly acquired a trace of third-order characteristics amidst destruction and rebirth.
At this moment, upon internal observation, this wisp of divine thought is as clear as glass, with fine, star-like golden light flowing across its surface. It appears out of place yet perfectly natural within the sea of consciousness of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
After that, he absorbed a portion of the ancient divine thoughts, opened the third divine aperture of the "Refining God Technique"—the Heavenly Eye, and also advanced his divine sense to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage.
However, although that ancient divine thought had been shattered, some remnants remained that had not been fully digested.
Chen Yi activated the "Refining God Technique," using his divine sense as a furnace to gradually refine the metal element essence contained within.
"Sizzle—"
Inside the third eye aperture, the golden light gradually liquefied, turning into a wisp of flowing "golden water," like molten gold liquid, flowing slowly.
Suddenly, Chen Yifu received a spiritual awakening and used the system to devour the remaining ancient divine thoughts in one go.
All of it was transformed into the comprehension gained from cultivating the Divine Refinement Technique.
Combining the insights Qin Chengcheng gave him regarding the application of the Five Elements Divine Sense in the [Refining Spirit Technique],
He continuously deduced the functions of the metal and water within his third eye, with countless divine energies intertwining with his real-world abilities.
I do not know how long it has been,
Chen Yi suddenly opened his eyes, and a golden light flashed deep in his pupils!
In an instant, the world changed completely in his eyes!
He activated the divine power of his Third Eye Aperture—[Third Eye Vision]
With his divine sense and physical eyes united, he can observe things simultaneously with both his divine sense and physical eyes, and see through hidden attributes that cannot be detected by a single perception alone.
If there is a formation or illusion in front of him, he can see the key points at a glance, greatly improving the efficiency of breaking the formation.
The spiritual fluctuations of treasures, even those of high-level magical artifacts that are "divine objects concealing themselves," cannot escape his divine eye!
Chen Yi's heart stirred.
In the cultivation world, there are cultivators who have opened special divine apertures. For example, Lin Xiaoyu of Miaoyin Pavilion has opened her "ear aperture" and "nose aperture", making her extremely sensitive to sound and smell. She can even smell the residual scent of Qin Chengcheng on him.
However, the [Heavenly Eye Vision] is an ability that even the owner of the jade slip containing the cultivation experience of the Divine Refining Technique was unable to master.
The reason Chen Yi mentioned Lin Xiaoyu was because he discovered that a few days later, Miaoyin Pavilion had a new head, who was none other than Lin Xiaoyu.
Lin Xiaoyu had already successfully established her foundation.
Although her aura fluctuations only indicated the early stage of Foundation Establishment, in Chen Yi's Heavenly Eye vision, the magical power within her body was as condensed as mercury, each strand clear and flawless, without any turbidity or impurities left by the pills.
With such a pure foundation, breaking through to higher realms will surely be a natural outcome.
"A Heavenly Spiritual Root that doesn't require elixirs for foundation building possesses such pure magical power."
Chen Yi seemed to be deep in thought, thinking that he could ask her for more detailed advice when he had the chance.
Now he has opened three apertures of the [Refining Spirit Technique], and his body refinement is nearing completion with copper bones and gold bones on the horizon. However, his magic power at the eighth level of Qi Refining has become a weakness.
Even if I need to break through with the Foundation Establishment Pill in the future, I need to find a way to purify my spiritual energy now.
"I want to learn from Lin Xiaoyu's insights on natural foundation building, continue collecting damaged second-tier spiritual herbs to refine their essence, and after my soul power improves, can I improve my original Qi refining technique, thereby improving the quality of spiritual energy within my body?"
Chen Yi pondered silently, making plans for his future foundation building in advance.
After the market expanded, all kinds of new shops sprang up like mushrooms after rain.
The most eye-catching of them all is the three-story building with blood-red lanterns hanging from it—the Blood-Clad Building.
Although this organization has tried its best to whitewash itself in recent years, openly operating under the guise of "Tianji Pavilion" to trade intelligence, it still secretly engages in shady activities such as stalking and assassination.
Chen Yi, disguised as a hunched old man, entered the Blood-Clad Tower and was led into a secret room that isolated divine senses.
"What do you wish to ask, fellow Daoist?" Behind the counter, a cultivator wearing a bronze mask spoke in a hoarse voice, like sandpaper scraping.
Chen Yi forced out a trembling, aged voice: "The current situation of Miaoyin Pavilion, and news about the great formation at the bottom of the lake."
After a moment's hesitation, the other party quoted a price:
"Mystic Sound Pavilion: Grade C 100 spirit stones, Grade B 300 spirit stones, Grade A 800 spirit stones."
Lake Bottom Array: Grade B 300 spirit stones, Grade A 1000 spirit stones.
So expensive!
Chen Yi felt a pang of regret, but ultimately gritted his teeth and paid 300 spirit stones to choose the Grade B intelligence from Miaoyin Pavilion.
The other party took out a jade slip, but instead of handing it over directly, he read it aloud and then dictated it:
"Secret information from Miaoyin Pavilion (Note: This information has been strictly sealed off by Master Lin Fan, and very few people know about it, hence the price of 300 spirit stones) --"
"I. Qin Chengcheng's Defection: Qin Chengcheng, a true disciple of Miaoyinfang, refused the marriage and, with his late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, crushed Zhao Tieshan of Yulong Sect in three moves at the engagement ceremony."
He withstood two deadly attacks from a True Core cultivator and survived, but fled far away wounded.
Rumor has it that she may possess some kind of third-tier trump card.
Upon leaving the sect, she publicly exposed Lin Fan's scandals, including setting up a soul-binding restriction and selling his disciples for profit. (Elder of the Blood-Clad Tower assesses: This claim is 80% credible.)
II. The Marriage of Liu Jinjin: Liu Jinjin, a disciple of Miaoyinfang, and Xu Shixian of Yulongzong became Daoist partners.
Third, the secret agreement between Lin Fan and Xu Tianyue: Both parties are aware of the engagement controversy but keep it to themselves, seemingly having a secret deal. Xu Tianyue's return and the gathering of many array masters to stay at Ruhai Lake may be related to this.
IV. Lin Xiaoyu's Foundation Establishment: Lin Xiaoyu, the sect leader's daughter, possesses a Heavenly Spiritual Root. She broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm without taking a Foundation Establishment Pill and is suspected of cultivating the "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens".
Fifth, the Miaoyin Pavilion in Qingfeng City.
Chen Yi hastily skimmed over the news of Miaoyin Pavilion in other cities.
He was shocked by Qin Chengcheng's "fierceness." This tiger girl was truly ruthless; not only had she beaten Zhao Tieshan, but she had also turned against her master.
He actually managed to withstand a near-full-force attack from a True Core cultivator and survive!
"Is a third-tier divine soul truly this domineering?" Chen Yi's eyes flashed with a sharp light as he wondered.
He vaguely felt that an ordinary third-tier divine soul would never possess such power, unless...
"【Minor Five Elements Divine Sense】."
This thought flashed through my mind like lightning.
The perfect fusion of spiritual energy within Qin Chengcheng's soul during their initial spiritual communion now seemed even more mysterious and unpredictable in retrospect.
However, this matter still needs to be verified. For now, it is enough to confirm the outline of the great battle at the Miaoyinfang Mountain Gate.
He squinted in thought, listing the intelligence reports one by one:
Qin Chengcheng and the sect leader publicly turned against each other.
Lin Fan's scandal of selling his apprentices for personal gain
The miracle of a Foundation Establishment cultivator withstanding the attack of a True Core cultivator.
Each of these points alone is enough to cause a stir in the cultivation world of Qi Kingdom.
Now that it's being sold by the Blood-Clad Pavilion for a fixed price of three hundred spirit stones, it must have already spread throughout the upper echelons of society.
As a result, Chen Yi, the chef who was seriously injured by Qin Chengcheng that day, will receive even less attention.
Even the information about how Liu Jinjin got involved with Xu Shixian was more interesting than Chen Yi's.
It can be said that after Chen Yi was severely injured by Qin Chengcheng and left, he almost became a nobody again.
Thinking of this, Chen Yi felt much more relaxed.
Perhaps we don't need to leave this lakeside market.
He was still in the Blood-Clad Tower at this moment. Although he was thinking quickly, he could not afford to waste too much time.
He merely feigned a look of appropriate shock and contemplation, then tentatively asked again:
"If the situation is like this in the Class B category, then what are the details of the Class A category involving Miaoyinfang?"
The other person squinted at him, then slowly said:
"Since you have already purchased the Grade B information, could you please tell me the content and direction of the Grade A information?"
I. The real story behind Qin Chengcheng's falling out with Lin Fan;
II. Qin Chengcheng's exact and secret methods for withstanding a blow from a True Core cultivator;
III. My Experiences and Insights on Dual Cultivation in "Phoenix Dance in the Nine Heavens"
Chen Yi's heart skipped a beat.
How could the Blood-Clad Tower know so much detail?
If these are indeed the detailed contents of the three messages mentioned above, they are indeed worth a thousand spirit stones, which is not expensive at all.
However, the other party seemed to notice Chen Yi's expression and said with a half-smile:
"Each of the above three pieces of information is worth one thousand spirit stones. Therefore, if you purchase Grade A information, you can choose one of them. If you purchase all three pieces of information, you can enjoy a 20% discount, with a total price of two thousand four hundred spirit stones."
Profiteer!
Chen Yi cursed inwardly.
He only had 1000 spirit stones left, so he couldn't possibly squander them. He could only pretend to be embarrassed and leave dejectedly.
Anyway, all he needs to know is the general outline of what happened that day.
As for the intelligence on the underwater formation—the Class B information likely overlaps with what he already knows.
As for Grade A... he can't afford it for now, he can only wait until the future.
