Chapter 187: Huge Money for Information

"I don't care about this. It depends on your ability. I will only be here for ten days. If your message has the answer I want, then I will leave quickly. You can handle the rest of the room fee yourself. Even if you can give me the answer I want now, I will leave immediately." Shi Chen turned sideways and said to Qingluo.

"Senior, you are so generous. The news circulating outside now is most likely able to explain the whole incident clearly. Yet, you spent such a high price to seek information from my Xianzhan. I'm afraid you will suffer heavy losses in your business." Qingluo immediately entered the role of a business negotiator when talking about business.

"When the war broke out, this immortal inn was not affected. Moreover, it is the best immortal inn in the immortal city. I think the power behind it is very powerful. Instead of inquiring about some random news outside, it is better to buy it directly at a high price from the most powerful force." Shi Chen said softly.

"What news does the guest want to know? About the mysterious man, the war, or the losses and items of the auction house?" Qingluo asked tentatively.

"You don't need to test me to find out what information I want. What you need to consider is, apart from the 10,000 low-grade spirit stones for today's cave rental, what kind of information is worth 90,000 low-grade spirit stones." Shi Chen said while drinking the spiritual tea that Qingluo had just brewed.

"One hundred thousand low-grade spirit stones can indeed buy more than 95% of the information about this incident, but some secrets will not be leaked. So, senior, what information do you want most?" Qingluo put another chip on the negotiation scale.

"Okay, I'll just tell you three things: the mysterious man, the reason for the looting battle, and how the Immortal Sect handled the news after the battle. But I have a friend who came here a year and a half ago and lost contact after the battle. Can you help me find some news about him?" Shi Chen said slowly, appearing a little indifferent, but with a slight frown on his face, he waved his hand to cast the development technique, revealing Huang Qi's appearance.

"Oh, what's your name for senior's friend? As long as it's a cultivator who appears in the fairy city, nine out of ten times we can find his trace." Qingluo asked casually after thinking.

"His name is Huang Qi, from Qingxuan Sect, and he's at the Jindan stage." Shi Chen poured himself a cup of spiritual tea and said calmly.

"Okay, the news from your friend will be delivered to you today. As for the first three points you mentioned, the content and quantity of the news are too much, so we have to wait one or two days for it to be delivered." Qingluo said.

Shi Chen saw Qingluo finished speaking and said with a smile, "Okay, now that we've finished discussing the matter, I'll stay in this cave and wait for news. As for Fairy Qing, if you don't mind, warming the bed and practicing with her is entirely up to you."

After Shi Chen finished speaking, he stood up and walked towards the rest room.

Hearing Shi Chen's teasing, Qingluo's face turned pink, and she was shy to speak. When Shi Chen walked to the door, she finally said, "Thank you for your care, Senior. Qingluo will help you deal with the important things first. After the results come out, if you are still interested, Qingluo will also serve you wholeheartedly."

"You'd better get your work done first. Ten thousand low-grade spirit stones a day is not a small amount for a cultivator who is building his foundation." After Shi Chen finished speaking, he walked into the room and closed the door without waiting for Qingluo's answer.

That night, Qingluo brought the jade slip of information to the cave where Shi Chen rented.

"Senior, this is the news about the Lingxi Tower of the Dahe Xianzong. The three pieces of information you wanted are all in it. I also heard some news about your friends outside, which are also attached to the jade slip." Qingluo put the jade slip in Shi Chen's hand. When she pulled her fingers away, she scratched Shi Chen's palm. Her eyes were misty and her face was slightly red. She wanted to refuse but was shy.

Shi Chen took the jade slip, probed into it with his spiritual sense, and quickly scanned the contents. His expression was sometimes solemn, sometimes thoughtful.

After reading it, he raised his head and looked at Qingluo, with a hint of admiration in his eyes.

"This information is very valuable, thank you very much." Shi Chen said.

Qingluo smiled slightly and said in a sweet voice, "It is my honor to serve you, Senior."

Shi Chen nodded, then asked, "Any more detailed information about my friend?"

Qingluo hesitated for a moment and said, "Senior, what I heard from outside are just some fragmentary information, but I will continue to pay attention."

Shi Chen hummed and said, "Thank you for your help. Please go back."

Qingluo glanced at Shi Chen again and said slowly, "Senior, don't you want me to warm your bed?"

"Haha, your method of seducing people is very clever, but I'm not here for romance. The news you brought is good, and I will leave tomorrow." Shi Chen said calmly.

"Since senior doesn't want Qingluo to serve you, Qingluo will take her leave." Qingluo said as she bowed and walked out of the cave, turning to leave.

After Qingluo left, Shi Chen entered the room, put up a ban, and then began to study the information in the jade slip.

There are three main sections of content in the jade slip, and the last hundred or so words are about Huang Qi's news.

Skipping the first three messages, Shi Chen went straight to Huang Qi's message.

Huang Qi came to Chaorui Immortal City two years ago. In the past, he went to the auction house every few days to inquire about the situation of the God-Forging Pill Recipe and whether the host had changed his mind and changed the conditions. Unfortunately, the auction house’s response was always negative. A war broke out a year and a half ago, but someone saw Huang Qi hurriedly flying away from the immortal city outside the immortal city and he was not injured. Half a year ago, a Jindan cultivator saw a group of more than ten cultivators in a dense forest more than 400 miles north of the immortal city. Their cultivation ranged from the God Transformation Stage to the Foundation Establishment Stage. One of them looked very similar to Huang Qi. Because of their large number, the Jindan cultivator just glanced at them and then left.

If the information in the jade slip is true, then Huang Qi is not in danger of his life now. He is just wandering around in the mountains and wilderness with a group of cultivators. This is somewhat inconsistent with Huang Qi's temperament, which is enough to prove that he was kidnapped by that group of cultivators half a year ago.

Half a year ago, a wandering cultivator went to Qingxuan Sect to convey the news to the Huang family, and extorted one million low-grade spirit stones on the pretext of saving Huang Qi. Huang Qi's third uncle went to rescue him with 200,000 low-grade spirit stones, but he also disappeared without a trace.

This means that this group of robbers must be short of resources and afraid of being discovered. As for Huang Qi, he should be fine, but it is hard to say about his third uncle.

After figuring out the key, Shi Chen understood and began to read the information he had obtained from the three previous ones at great expense.

There are many news about the mysterious man, but many of them are just gossips that spread in the Immortal City and are not credible. They spread from peddlers to Nascent Soul cultivators, from the lobby of the Immortal Inn to the City Lord's Mansion, and the more they spread, the more bizarre they become.

Shi Chen only focused on the undisclosed information of the Dahe Xianzong, as well as the speculation about the information summarized by this Xianzhan.

The Dahe Immortal Sect found out that the mysterious cultivator was in the middle stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm. In three years, he came to the Immortal City three times and disappeared the rest of the time. The first time was when the mysterious person asked the auction house to exchange items with others, and the second and third times were when he came to see the spiritual objects he wanted to exchange.

The Dahe Xianzong sent several people to track them twice, but they only found out that the mysterious man was a representative of a gang. The mysterious gang should not have more than 30 people, with different levels of cultivation, and they are good at hiding their tracks.

The reason for the looting battle at the auction house was also ridiculous. It turned out that there were too many high-level monks in the Immortal City, and several families took the lead in inciting the chaos, which eventually led to the looting battle.

Qingluo thought that Shi Chen wanted to track down the monks who obtained treasures after the looting battle and rob them.

Therefore, after the looting war, all the monks who escaped were listed one by one, and the information of tens of thousands of monks, from the late stage of Qi Refining to the middle stage of Spirit Transformation, was recorded in detail.
