Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 2252 - 1595: Preparation

”I presume you have already anticipated the imminent ascension of the world.”

Seeing Li Zhirui preparing to leave, the elder asked curiously, ”Aren’t you planning to find out how the various forces fared in this Taixu Illusionary Realm?”

Such a significant event as world ascension is destined to be impossible to conceal!

At most, some powerful forces may find out earlier through certain avenues, while smaller forces and loose cultivators may only realize something is wrong when the great calamity breaks out.

Thus, it is only natural for Wenfeng Building to be aware of this.

”Does it have anything to do with me?”

Li Zhirui glanced at him indifferently, then got up to leave.

He’s not a being of the Tao Spirit Realm; the world ascension has little to do with him.

Moreover, most of his causal ties with the Tao Spirit Realm are not direct relationships but rather debts owed to the Tongtian Sect, which closely ties him to this world.

If he wishes, he can completely wield the Power of Purification to cleanse all causalities, leaving the Tao Spirit Realm cleanly, rather than staying behind to battle other Profound Immortal beings.

”Is it that this person has sufficient confidence in his abilities, not worried that the great calamity will threaten his life, or does he have other means to safely weather the calamity?” The elder muttered softly, watching the figure that had already disappeared.

In his murky eyes, a gleam flashed, unsure of what plans he was forming.

In the next moment, the elder left the place through the Teleportation Array, letting the previous disciple come out to continue entertaining guests.

”That senior asked merely about some trivial matters; how could it have drawn the elder’s attention?”

As the disciple returned to the pavilion and sat cross-legged, he muttered, ”He just asked what major event occurred in the Tao Spirit Realm a few hundred years ago, and the elder suddenly arrived.”

He actually knew what had happened at that time—it was nothing more than a massive Taixu Illusionary Realm manifesting, causing fierce competition among various forces and resulting in quite tragic casualties.

But this matter is widely known due to widespread involvement, so as long as a little informed beings have heard of it, it can’t be considered critical intelligence.

And just now, that senior might have just recently emerged from seclusion but noticed some conditions, so he directly chose to purchase intelligence.

If Wenfeng Building didn’t have various strict regulations on their behavior, he wouldn’t need to go to the sect to gather intelligence; he could directly tell the other party.

While he was still contemplating, another cultivator entered the shop, it was the previous shopkeeper.

”I wonder what kind of information the guest wants to inquire about?” He quickly set aside his complex thoughts and earnestly attended to the customer in front of him.

”I want to know what the previous guest inquired about.” The shopkeeper did not hide his purpose.

The disciple frowned slightly and said, ”Sorry, this matter involves Mysterious Immortal, Wenfeng Building cannot disclose it.”

Wenfeng Building has only two Profound Immortals in charge, naturally not daring to easily offend Mystic Immortal Cultivators, lest to cause trouble, so information concerning Profound Immortals is generally not sold.

Furthermore, how could a Mysterious Immortal not have any defenses against Wenfeng Building’s Secret Techniques? Thus, relevant intelligence is comparatively scarce.

The shopkeeper knew this rule but also knew Wenfeng Building was eager for profit; as long as he was willing to pay enough Spirit Stones, many rules would become mere formalities.

”One million Spirit Stones! You only need to give me another copy of the intelligence Jade Slip that the previous Mysterious Immortal read, and the cost of purchasing intelligence can be calculated separately!”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and said, ”And guarantee the information won’t be leaked. You ought to know my master’s identity.”

The disciple’s face stiffened slightly; he certainly knew who the person behind the shopkeeper was, not a Mysterious Immortal indeed, but the child of a Mysterious Immortal!

Moreover, he not only has a cultivation of the Heavenly Immortal Realm but also rumors say he is expected to advance further, achieving the Profound Immortal status!

If such a situation truly occurred, it would certainly be a remarkable lineage with two Profound Immortals, father and son sharing greatness.

Faced with such a distinguished and highly potential being, Wenfeng Building focused on peace-making business, naturally reluctant to antagonize him.

”As far as I know, that senior purchased two pieces of information, totaling eleven thousand Spirit Stones, in addition to the cost you incur for information on Mysterious Immortal, amounting to a total of one hundred and ten thousand.”

Having said that, he looked calmly at the shopkeeper in front of him.

”Two pieces of information cost only eleven thousand Spirit Stones?” The shopkeeper was somewhat surprised, even suspecting the other party might be about to casually use two Jade Slips to deceive him.

In response to his suspicion, the disciple spoke seriously with a slightly dissatisfied tone, ”Does Your Excellency not know, Wenfeng Building conducts business with integrity as its foundation?”

This was questioning the fundamental principle of Wenfeng Building’s existence; if he didn’t refute, he wouldn’t deserve to be a Wenfeng Building disciple.

”Sorry, I’m not questioning Wenfeng Building, just a bit surprised by this information.”

The shopkeeper smiled slightly and immediately took out a sufficient amount of Spirit Stones, obtaining the two Jade Slips that Li Zhirui had just looked over.

But unbeknownst to him, the other party’s previous words had tricked and manipulated a little!

This disciple did not fully attend Li Zhirui, and the crucial part afterward was quietly hidden by him.

Of course, this can’t be said to be a lie, as what he said was indeed entirely true.

It was also to prevent exposing more information; should it somehow reach Li Zhirui later, Wenfeng Building might not suffer too much loss, but this young disciple would likely have to bear the burden of blame.
