Chapter 4305

"Take me to your manager; I have a business deal to discuss with him," Wang Changsheng instructed.

"Please follow me, Senior," the young woman in the golden dress said, gesturing for him to follow and leading the way.

Upon reaching the seventh floor, Wang Changsheng saw a landscape painting on the wall depicting bamboo forests, towering mountains, and flowing water. Judging by its spiritual energy fluctuations, it was a spatial Xuanxian treasure. A small line of text on the painting read "Mountain Stream Picture."

A dazzling blue light emanated from the surface of the "Mountain Stream Picture," and a tall, thin, ruddy-faced old man in a blue robe emerged from within it.

"Manager, this senior has some business to discuss with you," the young woman in the golden dress said.

"I am Lan Tianhe. May I ask for your name, fellow Daoist?" the old man in the blue robe asked politely, waving his hand to dismiss the young woman in the golden dress.

"My surname is Wang. I heard that Bai Xiao Tower is very well-informed, so I'd like to purchase some information from you, fellow Daoist Lan," Wang Changsheng replied. He had used an immortal artifact to alter his appearance, making it impossible for anyone to discern his true face unless they were a Grand Unity Golden Immortal possessing unique divine sight techniques.

"Let's enter the Mountain Stream Picture to discuss," Lan Tianhe said, gesturing for Wang Changsheng to follow. His body glowed with a bright blue light as he stepped into the painting.

Wang Changsheng followed him in, and they found themselves atop a steep, towering peak. On the summit was a hexagonal stone pavilion, and inside, a green stone table with several green stone stools.

Lan Tianhe sat down, picked up a teapot, and poured Wang Changsheng a cup of tea.

"What kind of information are you looking for, fellow Daoist Wang? Please feel free to tell me."

"I want to inquire about two Grand Unity Golden Immortals: first, Immortal Venerable Jin Yue, and second, Daoist Mo Yun," Wang Changsheng stated.

"Daoist Mo Yun!" Lan Tianhe frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Wang Changsheng asked, puzzled.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, are you aware that the Azure Crane Trading Alliance's possessions were robbed? Daoist Mo Yun was involved, and he is now being hunted. Of course, this news hasn't spread widely yet."

"He participated in robbing the Azure Crane Trading Alliance? What exactly was stolen that could entice even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal?" Wang Changsheng wondered.

"I heard it was for a high-level secret technique for opening orifices. If you have any information about Daoist Mo Yun, fellow Daoist Wang, you might consider selling it to our Bai Xiao Tower; I assure you the price will satisfy you," Lan Tianhe said, taking a sip of tea and smiling as he asked, "Are you still looking for information about Immortal Venerable Jin Yue?" He added, "All major powers, including Bai Xiao Tower, are searching for Daoist Mo Yun."

"No, I'm not. I heard that a million years ago, someone discovered the immortal's cave of a deceased Grand Unity Golden Immortal, which contained Enlightenment Fruits. Is that true?" Wang Changsheng asked curiously.

"That's false information. It was actually just a Golden Lotus Immortal Fruit. It's a case of 'three men make a tiger,' and the rumors became more exaggerated with each telling," Lan Tianhe explained. He noted that Bai Xiao Tower also releases false information to manipulate public perception. If all information on the market were true, no one would bother purchasing it from Bai Xiao Tower; it's the proliferation of false news that makes genuine information valuable.

"I also heard that a Golden Immortal cultivator mastered the Law of Soul and eliminated several evil cultivators. Is that true?" Wang Changsheng continued to ask.

"A five-colored crystal core from a Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beast," Wang Changsheng said, taking out a five-colored crystal core and handing it to Lan Tianhe.

"Indeed, that is true. The person is Immortal Zi Luo, a rogue cultivator. Here is all the information we have on her," Lan Tianhe said, taking out a golden jade slip and handing it to Wang Changsheng.

Wang Changsheng scanned it with his divine sense and nodded.

"I want to know which immortals have mastered the Law of Soul. Fellow Daoist Lan, please give me a price!" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Five five-colored crystal cores from Golden Immortal-stage Chaos Beasts. If you want their specific details, it will be an additional thirteen five-colored crystal cores," Lan Tianhe replied. Wang Changsheng took out eighteen five-colored crystal cores and handed them to Lan Tianhe.

Lan Tianhe then took out eighteen jade slips of various colors and handed them to Wang Changsheng.

"So many?" Wang Changsheng exclaimed in surprise.

"These are the immortals who comprehended the Law of Soul within the last hundred million years. Some have already perished, while others are still alive. Of course, given the vastness of the Immortal Realm, there are undoubtedly more immortals who have comprehended the Law of Soul whom we are unaware of; that's quite normal," Lan Tianhe explained.

Wang Changsheng examined them one by one, finding that most of those who had comprehended the Law of Soul were Grand Unity Golden Immortals. There were only three Golden Immortal cultivators, but they had only achieved minor mastery of the law. Wang Changsheng's own information was also among them.

"Immortal Monarch Tai Hao, male. Achieved great mastery of the Law of Soul during the Golden Immortal stage, possessing a powerful physical body. After advancing to Grand Unity Golden Immortal, he once used a physical divine ability to slay an eight-colored Chaos Beast of the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. His Dao companion is Immortal Zi Qin, and they have three sons: Wang Qingbai, an immortal alchemist; Wang Qingfeng, an immortal artifact refiner; and Wang Qingcheng, skilled in dealing with others."

"Thank you, fellow Daoist Lan," Wang Changsheng said, standing up to take his leave.

"Fellow Daoist Wang, if you acquire any information about Daoist Mo Yun, you can sell it to our Bai Xiao Tower; the price will surely satisfy you," Lan Tianhe said. With a flick of his sleeve, a great force surged forth, sending Wang Changsheng flying out of the Mountain Stream Picture.

He strode downstairs. As he walked out of Bai Xiao Tower, Chen Peng quickly approached him.

"Take me around to look at things," Wang Changsheng instructed.

Chen Peng acknowledged and led the way.

As they passed a fork in the road, a man and a woman walked towards them. A hint of surprise flashed in the depths of Wang Changsheng's eyes; he hadn't expected to encounter Demon Lord Xuan Fu and Mu Wanwan here. Since he had altered his appearance, the two did not recognize him.

Chen Peng accompanied Wang Changsheng as they strolled through Jinxiao City. More than two hours later, they arrived at a vast bluestone plaza. There were many small stalls here, mostly run by True Immortal cultivators, and even a few Grand Unity Golden Immortals could be seen. The items on the stalls were diverse and varied.

Wang Changsheng walked around, observing, and suddenly quickened his pace, stopping before a small stall. The vendor was a beautiful woman in a green dress with a delicate appearance. Judging by her aura, she was clearly a Grand Unity Golden Immortal. Many items were displayed on her stall, but a Nine-Orifice Silver Marrow Crystal caught Wang Changsheng's attention.

"Fellow Daoist, how much is this Nine-Orifice Silver Marrow Crystal?" Wang Changsheng asked.

His clansmen had been searching everywhere for Nine-Orifice Silver Marrow Crystals for years, having only managed to collect one so far. He hadn't expected to encounter another one so soon after arriving in Jinxiao City.

"It's for trade only, not for sale. Immortal herbs or immortal fruits are acceptable," the young woman in the green dress replied.

Wang Changsheng took out an exquisite green jade box and handed it to the beautiful woman in the green dress. She opened the lid, glanced inside, nodded, and agreed to the exchange.

Wang Changsheng put away the Nine-Orifice Silver Marrow Crystal, stood up, and left.

He wandered around the plaza for a while, purchasing some high-grade artifact refining materials before finally departing.

The sky darkened, and the streets became brightly lit, with crowds of people flowing like weaving threads.

"Alright, you don't need to accompany me anymore; you can leave," Wang Changsheng said, waving his hand to dismiss Chen Peng.

Chen Peng bowed respectfully, then turned and left.

Wang Changsheng took out a blue-glowing magic disk, infused it with a spell, and after making some gestures, quickened his pace.

Less than half an hour later, Wang Changsheng appeared on a sparsely populated street with many buildings.

He arrived at the entrance of a three-story green pavilion, on whose plaque were three large golden characters: "Green Fence Pavilion."
