[A ninth-grade alchemy furnace and the complete corpse of a demon at the Human Immortal Realm!]

[You finally purchased a ninth-grade alchemy furnace for five million six hundred thousand spirit stones... and bought the complete corpse of a Human Immortal Realm demon for thirty-two million spirit stones.]

[Additionally, you spent nearly ten million spirit stones on thousands of pounds of flesh essence from transcendance tribulation stage demons...]

[Worth noting is that the price of Gathering Spirit Flowers was higher than you expected; these five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers were auctioned for a sky-high price approaching sixty million spirit stones!]

[And the buyer of these five hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers was the same person: an Earth Immortal Realm cultivator, also a patron of White Emperor City!]

[Excluding the items you purchased, the sale of the Gathering Spirit Flowers yielded an extra ten million spirit stones for you!]

[This amount of spirit stones is roughly the entire fortune an ordinary Mahayana Realm cultivator accumulates over several thousand years...]

[But you were not flustered, as you had the strength to fully protect this wealth.]

[After leaving the auction, you returned home and closed your shop for a few months to focus entirely on refining elixirs.]

[Thus, several months passed...]

Su Xing saw this and sighed lightly:

"Human cities still have certain disadvantages compared to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains!"

"Flesh essence from demonic beasts has at least become harder to acquire..."

[In the sixteenth year, the corpse of the Human Immortal Realm demon provided you with nearly three hundred pounds of flesh essence, allowing you to refine nearly a thousand Rebirth Pills.]

[The flesh essence from the transcendance tribulation stage was also gradually refined into elixirs by you, used for regular trading and cultivation needs.]

[That year, your cultivation level reached the mid-stage of the seventh level of the Great Achievement Realm!]

[Over the next three years, you had only three objectives.]

[First, cultivate more Gathering Spirit Flowers to accumulate resources.]

[Second, strive to enhance your Body Refinement cultivation level, improving your realm as much as possible.]

[Third, acquire information related to the Qingyun Sect.]

[Following this plan, you lay low in White Emperor City for three years, cultivating stably.]

[The spiritual energy in your shop was not abundant, far less than in a blessed land, so you did not waste time on qi refinement but focused on improving your Body Refinement cultivation level.]

[In the nineteenth year, your cultivation level remained at the mid-stage of the seventh level of the Great Achievement Realm.]

[Over these years, you sent a hundred Gathering Spirit Flowers to the auction house each year; if the number was too large, you feared it might cause trouble.]

[At the same time, you paid attention to the flesh essence of Human Immortal Realm demonic beasts and purchased over a hundred pounds over three years.]

[With the improvement of your cultivation level, you were able to absorb the Rebirth Pills at the Human Immortal Realm level to an extreme degree, maintaining your cultivation speed.]

[However, over these years, you still knew very little about the Qingyun Sect.]

[After much hesitation, you decided to spend spirit stones buying relevant information from the Heavenly Secret Pavilion...]

[Therefore, you disguised yourself and masked your aura, heading to the branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion in White Emperor City to purchase intelligence.]

[According to the information you had previously obtained, the intelligence of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion encompassed all-encompassing knowledge, including the Qingyun Realm, Little Qingyun Realm, and even other Three Thousand Worlds, and it was absolutely authentic!]

[Currently, what you wanted to know most was information related to the Qingyun Sect and Qing Yunzi.]

[Thus, you went to the intelligence office and saw a lethargic young girl, seemingly around seventeen or eighteen years old, yawning out of boredom as she received guests.]

[Upon seeing this, you got straight to the point, stating directly that you wanted to purchase information about the Qingyun Sect.]

Su Xing saw this and felt a stirring in his heart, muttering to himself:

"Use immersive mode..."

[Ding...]

Accompanied by the simulator prompt sound, Su Xing's vision changed.

The next second, Su Xing found himself in an ancient-looking shop, with an unknown fragrant incense burning inside, making one feel refreshed and happy.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

The entire shop was empty, except for a girl with braided pigtails dozing off at the shop table.

"Is this the branch of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion?"

After seeing the surroundings clearly, Su Xing felt a bit puzzled.

The Heavenly Secret Pavilion was an immense power that dominated the Three Thousand Worlds, so why was its shop in White Emperor City so rudimentary...

Seeing Su Xing enter, the girl yawned casually and said perfunctorily:

"Here to buy information, or sell information?"

Su Xing was dumbfounded upon hearing this. Was such a top-secret matter as buying and selling intelligence being discussed so openly?

Shouldn't it be conducted in a secret chamber, with both parties wearing masks during the transaction?

Su Xing glanced back at the slightly ajar pearwood door behind him, and outside, he could still see the bustling streets and passing cultivators... Discussing intelligence so openly, weren't they afraid of eavesdroppers?

Seemingly seeing Su Xing's confusion, the girl raised an eyebrow and said:

"Is this your first time here, sir?"

"Heavenly Secret Pavilion's intelligence is no longer what it used to be... Once you step into this shop, you will only see me, and it is absolutely one-on-one service, with excellent confidentiality!"

"Thus, there's no need to worry about identity leaks happening..."

Su Xing felt a stirring in his heart upon hearing this and then understood.

It turned out that the shop was equipped with various formations, integrating concealment, isolation, and spatial techniques. Even if ten thousand people entered, they would only see one person. This was indeed an excellent way to conduct information transactions.

Su Xing sighed inwardly: "As expected of the Heavenly Secret Pavilion, even a branch possesses such capabilities..."

Su Xing then asked:

"So, how do you sell your intelligence?"

The girl's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and she deftly retrieved three tokens, labeled with the characters B, C, and D, indicating the intelligence levels.
